Commerce and Trusts.

There is little that is novel. and there Is
the distinct quality of conservatism, in the
message of the President upon interstate
commerce and the treatment OF the
trusts. The proposal that invites the
most immediate consideration Is that TO
establish q commerce court, to have ju-
risdiction OF questions arising from the
orders of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. More regulation is likely TO mean
more litigation; and even now there is
complaint OF delay in disposing Of cases.
4 special court could act with more ex-
petition, and II seems reasonable to as
sumo that it's members would acquire
particular familiarity with the questions
at Issue. thus tending to increased uni
formity OF decisions and to the establish
ment OF presidents for future guidance.
Their activity would be increased If. as
proposed. they be made available for
duty upon the circuit bench.
The suggestion that railways be per-
mitted to make agreements as to rates
and classification, subject TO the approval
Of the commission. would have the effect
of making open and legitimate a method
which. while more or less clandestine, IS
regarded by railway executives as a prac-
teal necessity. in order to avoid friction
and conflict. To make such agreements
Legitimate seems desirable as a protection
against deception or evasion. There seems
no reason against granting the commits
sion power TO take up questions as to
rates without the fling Of formal COM
plants. But the railway managers viii
claim that they are most competent 10

and that an outside authority should be
called In only TO pass upon disputes thar

the shippenth right TO select routes seems
likely to facilitate traffic. provided it be
| insisted that no discrimination be shown.
More serious is the proposal 10 permit
the Issue Of obligations by railway cor
pOrHtions only with the approval OF the
commission. This may raise a question
/ between State and Federal authority. AS
to the antitrust law, the President alb
stains from advising its amendment. In
stead. his recommendation Of a Federal
/ incorporation law for combinations OF
lcapital engaged In interstate commerce
will doubtless receive careful considera-
ton and debate before action.

Aerial Goodness.

on the Island Of Jamaica, at a point where
climatic conditions are not materially DIFF

that thermometric balloons at a height Of
slightly less than 61000 feet registered
a temperature Of 81 degrees below zero.

degrees below the zero Of the Fahrenheit
scale. At the height OF 5000 feet the as

the eager bridegroom holds a captaincy

be laid before the colonel of the regiment
and unless the young woman meets his

Edward Has Many Thrones.

From the Western Sect
King Edward has more thrones than
any other monarch in the world. He
has three in his London palaces, one IN
the House OF Lords. one at Westminster,
and a sixth is at Windsor Castle. This
most ancient is the one at Westminster.
where each ruler Of Great Britain is
crowned. The coronation chair IS mas
sive throne of oak, in which seven Ed
wards have sat Beneath the seat Is q
sandstone block, known as the Stone OF
Destiny" from Scone. The throne in
the House Of Lords IS OF Burmese teak.
and is carved and gilded and studded with
crystals. The throne IN St. James Pal
ace is large. with canopy overlaid with
crimson velvet, embroidered with crowns
set with pearls. The most costly throne
is at Windsor. It is composed entirely Of
carved ivory. inlaid with precious stones,
especially emeralds. It was presented to
Queen Victoria by the Maharaiah OF Ira
YanCoTe.
