Rn Following Taft Messnrc

Washington. Jan. 11.--Represent-
ative Townsend introduced in the
house the bill embodylng the recon-
mondations outlined In the special
message OF President Taft for amend
ments to the interstate commerce
law. It provides. among other things
for a commerce court. composed Of
five federal circuit judges, TO have
exclusive original Jurisdiction over
matters growing out OF orders OF the
Interstate commerce commission.
This court is to be composed OF
five circuit judges, who shall serve
by assignment of the chief justice
for a term Of FIVE years but no two
OF the judges terms will expire at
the same time. and thus under all
circumstances four OF the judges will
have had several years experience

comes dangerous. Too many of our
weeklies, which should supplement
the daily newspapers by accurate re-
sumo and analysis of the news, main
tain an editorial staff for the sole
purpose, II wonld seem, of dazzling
the public with the sharp shafts OF its
wit. The consequence is, that the
public, which depends on that kind of
reading matter for its opinions, Is
divided between contempt for and
fear of every person, who occupies
conspicuous and responsible position
in public. professional or business life.
Those, who read such stun for the
pure enjoyment of the witticisms, as
they might read clever fiction, derive
occasional moments Of pleasure from
them; but, unfortunately, the frolic-
some humor of the editorials passes
for sagacious comment in too many
uninformed minds.

THE nPPoRTrNIST.

The man who succeeds is the man
who keeps his eye on the main
chance; in other words, the man,
who, knowing what he wants. does
not allow his attention to be de-
tracted from the substance by minor
issues that obtrude in the course of
events. The man. who is so greedy.
that he can not bear 70 leave CLEAN
ings for others. loses the better part
of his crop, in picking up the loose
straws. The citizen, who takes his
mind off the important ends of gov
ernment, finds himself involved in a
maze of doubt, and used to defeat the
object he desires TO attain. In all
things keep well in mind the ultimate
object, take advantage of such cir
as will obviously promote
the attainment Of your object, and let
unavailable circumstances pass by for
the cleaners. 1t will keep them quiet,
and make your ends more simple.
There are two kinds OF opportunists,
those who seem forever jumping from
this opportunity to that, sometimes
advancing, sometimes retrogressing
but never getting anywhere; and
those who have an end in mind and
select their opportunities with a view
to their fitness for that end. Have
an aim; be an opportunist; learn to
think and use your brains. That's
what God gave Them to you for.

For the present it is sufficient to

be deeply regretted, the dismissal

that only the bigoted and willfully

courage. the devotion, the vigilance
with which Mr.. Pinchot served the
government and the nation in the

In private life Mr.. Pinchot can

The presidents dismissal of Chief

We suppose that there will now

for one reason or another. are trying
to discredit the administration, to
the effect that the president is turn

There has been some talk OF this
