Under the AXisting law the interstate
commerce commission itself initiates
and defends litigation in the courts for
the enforcement, or in the defense of,
its orders and DEGREES. and for this pur-
pose il aRIploys attorneys who while
subject to the control of the attorney
general, act upon the Initiative and
under the Instructions of the commits
sion.
This blending of administrative. leg
islative and judicial functions tends, in
my opinion, to impair the efficiency of
the commission by clothing IT with
of the impartial judicial attitude it
should occupy in passing upon ques-
tions submitted TO II.
In my opinion, all litigation affecting
the government should be under the
direct control of the department of
justice. and 7. therefore, recommend
that all proceedings affecting orders
and DEGREES of the interstate commerce
commission be brought by or against
the United States go nomine and be
placed in charge of an assistant at

Ii has been suggested that, TO meet

to quote the legal rate in writing, and
that the shipper, should l'e prntec ted

that it would afford much too easy

Cure for Rattlesnake Bite.

The following recipe for the bite Of
q rattlesnake was sent to the editor of
the Chicago Tribune last week, with
these words: II will guarantee that
this remedy will cure ninety.nine out
Of every hundred cases. l have known
it tried for forty years in Illinois, aud
have used it on several animals that
were bitten by r~attlesnakes since com.
ing to Florida, and have never known
1t to fail in q single instance.
Thoroughly soak the wound and
swollen part with pure hogs lard and
let the patient drink one.half pint OF
this melted lard. In severe cases re.
peat it In half an hour, and give all
the sweet milk that the patient can
drink. This kills the poison almos,
Immediately, and the swelling will dis
appear in q few days. A horse OF
q COW must be drenched with q much
larger dose, but dogs will eagerly ca,
lard and drink milk, even when their
heads are swollen that their eyes are
closed and the yellow saliva is run
ming from their mouths.'

A Triumph For Women,

The election recently of Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young to the presidency Of the
National Educational association is
one of the most notable victories that
have come to women in c years.
This. together with the fact that the
presidency of the national conference
Of charities and corrections was
awarded to Jane Adams last year,
would seem to justify the oft repeated
utterance that this is the woman's age.
And yet after all there is nothing re-
markable about the fact that a woman
should be made president of this great
educational association. Almost more
remarkable is the fact that this honor
has come sc tardily to a woman.
Broadly speaking, the teachers of the
country are women. Teaching is gen.
orally recognized as a woman's profess
sion.
This is true in every branch save the
university and collegiate departments.
The total number of representatives
from those departments is so much
smaller than from the primary and
secondary schools that largo ma
jority Of men in the advanced
branches has little effect upon the to-
tai percentage of men and ONE
But the principal reason for satisfac-
ton at this election is not the fact that
the president is a woman. but that a
woman who vas in every way quail
fed by her past service to the aus of
education to hold this position Of honor
should be eligible to the presidency
and. being eligible, should have been
elected.
For once it is possible to witness the
| spectacle of the opposing candidates
going down to ignominious defeat
without a pang Of remorse.
There were six of them-six brawny
men-all fighting against n woman
and the woman won. One admits
grim sort of satisfaction at the spec
tacle.

Unpleasant Incident During Public
Speech at Fargo.

Unpleasant Incident During Public
Speech at Fargo.
FARGO, N. D., Sept. 6.-'sI have a
question to ask you. Colonel Roose-
velt," shouted a man who crowded up
to the speakers stand at the close of
Mr.. Roosevelt's address here yester.
day. The men and women on the
stand grew silent; Colonel Roosevelt
turned and faced him. Waving one
arm, the man shouted:
II want to know who is paying the
expenses of this trip of yours about
the country"
The question angered Colonel
Roosevelt, and his face showed it. He
advanced a step toward his interroga.
tor and shot back his answer.
II consider that to be an impertinent
question:" he said. "However, I have
no objection to telling YOU" He add.
ed that the expense of the party was
being paid by the magazine of which
he is one Of the editors.
"You lte," the man shouted 90 loud.
~ that hundreds of persons heard him.
As he spoke the words, Colonel Roose.
welt stepped forward quickly aud seiz.
ed bis arm just above the elbow. He
explained later that he did not know
who the man was OF what his inten.
tions we're, and that he had taken hold
OF his arm as a measure of self.pre.
servation. His vigorous action did
not deter the man from finishing wha,
he had to say.
He shouted out: "Your expenses are
being paid by the people of the United
States"
Although Colonel Roosevelt did no,
act, others seized the man. The colonel
did not release his grip until the
stranger was moved rapidly from the
stand. He was elected from the plat.
form and swallowed up in the excited
crowd.
Colonel Roosevelt said that be was
not at all alarmed by what had hap.
pened. He merely caught hold of the
man to guard against the possibility
of any sudden move. The man wa:
arrested later and was charged with
disorderly conduct. He said his name
was John Martin, his occupation a
painter, and his residence in Fargo.
