FURTHER RAHROADL EGISLA-
TON THIS WINTER.

VIII there be further railroad legisla-
ton this winter
Il appears Attorney General Wicker
sham has prepared bill covering a
number of important changes in the
Interstate commerce laws. and this bill
is being discussed in White House
conferences. While the bill undoubtedly
could well go farther in some
respects than it does, there
are features of 1t which. if
enacted by Congress. will materially
improve the present statutes and viii
give the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion some of the real authority it
needs in order to make Government
regulation of rates effective.
One OF the changes which the Ad-
mlnistrstion bill conteinplates is to allow
the commission to initiate complaints
and to give it power to pass on sets
of rates. In other words. this would
allow the commission to get at the
question of determinations by the rail
roads between localities, a sort of dis
elimination which everyone knows has
been altogether too common. This
change in the interstate commerce laws
alone would be of much value to ship
pers, and is probably the most i'm
portant feature Of the bill as it now
stands
The bill prepared by the Attorney
General contemplate control Of the
capitalization of railroads, but not in
form that is likelv to be effective
unless it is made more drastic than
originally drawn. This is for the rea-
son that it Is proposed to allow CAPT
talzation of surplus earnings and IN
canned increment. something obviously
not justified The power 10 make
freight cIassIfcations would be given
the commission. and for the future a
railroad would be prevented from own
ing interest in a competing road. And
the commission would be given author
itv to pass on an increase OF a rate
before that increase took effect
Though the bill drawn by the Attor-
nev General is not all that could be de-
sired. it is in the right direction. 1t
should be strengthened here and there
in some details. and then passed.
But already there are signs that it is
going TO meet obstacles. and that efforts
viii be made 10 ema scUlatelit; that it
viii have teeth enough in the form in
which it is introduced to make its de-
feat probable.

kind; and the assurance. now coming
from DIR. Van Hise, flat it has been in
no wise changed or narrowed, must give
qualification to every believer in the
freedom and vigor of university teach
ings and academic inquiry. There have
been few universities in the world which
have gained more of equation by rea-
son OF the untrammeled character of
their teaching and their intellectual
ideals than Wisconsin University. It
would be a national calamity if the
blighting hand of bigotry, ignorance. or
interest should be laid upon this great
school. There are more than a few
authorities, in this country. and abroad.

IN tins matter of academic freedom it
has been above suspicion, and it should
be continued in that position.

POLITICAL PLACE HOLDERS
MAKE A MIGHTY ARMY.

Politics is great feature of Ameri-
can life. It's soldiers OF fortune make
an enormous army and. considering
their number. it is not surprising that
the President ard the national party
leaders find a tremendous power repre-
sented in the place holders.
According to the latest statistics, the
number of officeholdeIs under the Fed
eral Government reaches 370,065. or
$4,000 more than all the men in Phila-
delphia. Since 1907 the new recruits
to the political army have numbered
"a 900. or more men than are in the
regular army.
if this force does not strike you as
significant, calculate the additional
political soldiers of fortune who are
engaged in running the affairs of cities
and States. For example, there are
10000 municipal offceholders in Phila-
delphis: there are 10000 in Greater
New York. and the proportion of politi-
cal job holders in other cities probably
is not much less.
Figure what this means in the guild
ance OF political affairs when the de-
msnd is for party regularity" Is it
any wonder that the political bosses
form close corporation and are able
to keep their grip2

NEWSPAPERS AND THEIR Sc.
LECTION OF NEWS.

There is much truth in the reason
assigned by the New York bureau OF
municipal research for "the small space
given by our public journals to the
affairs of the public schools" and similar
institutions. Among other things the
bureau points out that ct is easier for
writers and publishers 20 obtain news
about society. colleges. and sports than
to obtain interesting school items"
Too often the complaint against the
newspaper is that il Is ensstion-see<-
ing. and has prediction for scandal
and unsavory gossip. Men and women
inc uding some Of eminent rank in their
own professions. although having only
slight knowledge OF the making Of
= newspaper. have a habit of saying in
their ignorance that newspapers give
preference TO crime. divorce. and scan
dal. 1t is even added that it is i'm
possible to get more wholesome news
into newspaper.
This opinion is wrong. Il not only
does injustice TO most newspaper edi-
tors, but, in a measure. IL offers insult
10 the readers Of these newspapers.
As general rule newspapers give
preference to only one thing-news
Bat news is news only when it relates
10 something of present interest in an
interesting way.
Oftentimes, in the case OF the schools
and institutions working for the better
ment Of conditions, there is a tendency
upon the part of those in authority
10 be secre1ve. There is a disposition
az times to resent the legitimate in
quiry for news and at other times a
deliberate effort at concealment.
If 1t were more generally appreciated
that newspapers are eager to print the
news which deals with the more con-
sentative subjects it would soon be
demonstrated that these newspapers are
an important factor in the accomplish
ment of results.

BANNER YEAR IN AMERICAN

year 1909 is the most prosperous of all
years in American agriculture. in fact.
IN the agricultural history Of the world.
No such showing as this has ever been
made IN any other country. The value
OF the farm products is so great that
the expression of IL is an increasing
burden on the Humeral system, and
when expressed it is beyond the com
prehension Of the mind and q trial TO
the imagination. For this year the
value of farm products Of all kinds in
this country is ss.76O,OOOOOO. a gain of
1859 100000 over 1908.
Not less striking than the enormous
total production of this year is the fact
that the agricultural production of the
country has about doubled in the last
decade. In that time agriculture has
come to be even more pronoUncedly

RESTRAINTS ON ACADEMIC
FREEDOM.

President Van Hise Of the University
of Wisconsin has written an article in
tn Wisconsin alumni magazine de
signed to set at rest the reports of at
tempted interference with freedom Of
teaching and thought in that model in
stitution. 1t was a real shock to the
country when less than n year ago
reports gained persistent circulation
that powerful influences. reaching even
into the board of regents. had under
taken to set bounds upon the freedom
OF certain teachers of economics and
sociology in the Wisconsin University.
It was charged that tie Institution was
too radical in its economies to please
some of the influential regents, who,
with outside backing that was referred
TO political interests of the conservative
cast. were anxious 10 get the univer-
sitv's teachings mildly eXpurgated in
these regards.
President Van Hisc quotes from the
pronouncement on free teaching made
in 1894 by the regents. which he says
still stands as the policy of the uni
versity. Quoting from that pronounce
mcnt, he uses this language:
without coubt. some things NAV
! have been written, not only on social
economics. but also OF history, hypno-
tisn. seolOgy. physiology, education.
and law. with which many good people
! could not agree We cannot however
| be unmindful Of the fact that many OF
! the universally accepted principles OF
today were hut short time ago de-
nOunced as visionary. impractiCable,
and DerniciOus. We must
welcome from our teachers such dis
cussion as shall suggest the means
and prepare the way by which know1-
edge may be extended. present evils
removed, and others prevented.
Whatever may lie the limitations
which trammel inquiry elsewhere. we
believe the great State University of
| Wisconsin should ever encourage that
| continual and fearless sitting and
winnowing by which alone truth can
I be found.
When that platform Of liberalism and
breadth was announced. it was accepted
