NO INTERFERENCE.

President Taft is not engaged In the
business of interpreting the recently en-
acted railway rate law. Neither Is he
seeking to influence in the direction of
conservatism or the opposite, the judg-
ment of those on whom rests the respon-
sibilfty of constituting the law and rem
dering decisions under it.
Had the Chief Executive desired TO
impress his views on the members of the
commission he would undoubtedly have
availed himself of the abundant oppor-
tunities he enjoyed in Washington, in
stead of waiting until the commission
had rendered several decisions under the
new law and then calling Chairman
Knapp to Beverly.
A moments reflection on Mr.. Tafts
own judicial experience and his eminent
respect for the dignity and prerogat1Ves
of the judiciary must convince every
fair minded observer that President Taft
would be the last man in public life to
attempt to influence the judgment of q
body SO essentially judicial in its nature
a. the Interstate Commerce Commission.
So obvious are these assertions that
they would seem almost trite were it
not that some of the correspondents to
whom the President impaired the infor-
nation which Mr. Knapp brought to
Beverly appear to haze overlooked the
highly important assertion of the Execu-
tive that he had sent for MI, Knapp "to
ascertain at first hand the views of the
commission regarding its powers IN
der the new Iaw''-not, he it noted, to
impress on the chairman the views of
the Executive regarding its powers I'M
der the new statute.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: To-day is the forty-eighth anniver
sary Of the battle of Malvern Hill, the last
OF the seven days battles on the Peninsula
and the most decisive, wherein the Army
Of the Potomac thoroughly indicated it's
superiority over the enemy, though Ma
gruders column of 10000 fresh troops was
added 10 the attacking army. The eight
siege guns, Compound Perriers double shot
ted with grape and canister, were placed
in battery formation on the left of the
field, nearly mile and a half from the
front of the line The line was crescent
shaped and the field a descending plateau,
where the commanding general, in front of
the field hospital at the rear, had q fun
view of all the operations during the day.
Mcclellan had gone upon a gunboat to
direct the firing and General Sumner was
the general the field. The left of the
line was protected by heavy timber, into
which the gunboat shells went with terrific
effect, thoroughly protecting the left of the
field and permitting Magruder's column to
come down to within about fifty wards Of
the battery. A brave, handsome and de-
termined body of soldiers. marching as
though at dress parade. in solid column of
divisions. they were allowed to come within
nfty yards. when the battery was dis
charged. Then Hookers division, on the
right; the Pennsylvania reserves in the
centre, and Kearny@s division. on the laf..

There were no crossed payonets and no

VIOLENCE AND ACCIDENT
Gained Several Victims In New
York on Sunday.

Last Sunday was remarkable IN
New York for the unusual nunoe:
OF deaths By violence and accident
The coroaers' Offices handled thirty
cases, OF which one was q possible
murder, one an unusual suicide ey
shooting. one death due TO crimi-
nal operation. six were suicides by
gas. and three fatal accidents.
TIE man who shot himself chose
the marble ete2s Of life insurance
company. il Madison square. He
had cut every mark OF Identification
from his clothing except the name OF
a Newark, y. J.. habereashery on
his collar, but he took pains 70 write
courteous note OF apology TO the
co-Ier for the trouble he was abcu;
to cause
In Brooklyn, the toll OF accidental
death and suicide was particularly
heavy. One girl drank carbol!c acid
and die6; a man net similar death,
through accident; man was found
dead IN a snow bank; another died
in a hospital after falling uncon-
sciors In the street. and still another
inflicted fatal wounds on himsel!
with a knife. Three men commit,
TED suicide by inhalios gas. two wo-
men died likewise. while cases OF
persons being overcome either acc!-
dentaliy or il an attempt to end
their lives ran more than half 3
dozen.

The High Prices.

No subject IS more discussed over
the dinner table. in the work room.
in the parler. than the high cost Of
living. No one questions it, the only
problem is what TO do. Some class
es OF workers have had advances,
but the majority. dependent on fixed
salaries or wages. are simply sQueez-
ed between the uppe. and neither
mill stones of trade. We are not
among those who see any immediate
relief. One fundamental difficulty
IS the using up OF the government ;
supplies OF free land. There has
been great advance IN the price
OF farm lands in the Central States
within few years. due to the fac;
that the time has gone when the
settler can get desirable farms merely
by applying TO the government. The
cutting OF the cattle ranges has
something to do with IL NOWADAYS
Il takes capital TO so into farming.
The farmer has 20 pay interest On
that capital. When he gets his farm
paid for. he becomes more indepen-
dent. He can hold his product for
high prices. And he is doing il.
as the great consuming populations
know TO their sorrow. Meanwhile
here is an economic problem OF the
deepest significance. worthy OF the
best thought OF all legislators and
economists. No party can ignore Il.
