WORK AHEAD ron CONGRESS.
for Further Railroad
Legislation.
Chicago Record Herald.

Chicago Record-Herald.
The m commission, In its annual
report, naturally recommends additional
railroad legislation, repeating old arEu-
ments and pointing new morals in the light
of court decisions concerning rate reduc-
tons. The feature of the report, however,
is the earnest advocacy of a physical vaIu-
alton Of railroad property as a necessary
besis for fair r~ate-fixing by any impartial
body.
There were times when the commission
was in advance of the administration and
congress in it's suggestion. 1t is no longer
so; the others have caught up with it, and
even forged ahead. The provisions OF the
bill OF the commission headed by Mr..
Wickersham. outlined some time ago in
the press, were more radical than the def
mite recommendations of the Interstate
commissioners. 1t hardly needs saying
that the Cummins bill goes even beyond the
Wickersham measure.
The president has promised to deal in a
special message with the whole subject OF
interstate commerce and railroad legisla-
ton, including reorganization of the com:
mission, the creation OF a special
court, the control of railroad finance, the
suspension of proposed rate increases on
complaint and the investigation OF their
reasonableness, and so on. That he will
favor extension and clinching of the Hep
burn act is generally taken for granted.
Meantime the house committee on COM
merce has been girding it's loins for action.
1t has announced daily hearings after
January IS next. Evidently the fur is ex-
pected to fly in committee and on the
floor.
Physical valuation, control of railroad
securities, suspension of proposed new
rates, the establishment of through routes,
joint rate making under supervision-here
are subtopics Of the great topic OF further
railroad regulation that will furnish lots
of food for thought and discussion, The
shadows cast by coming events in or about
congress indicate neither reaction nor
standpat s%tagnation.

Another Stem Toward Peace.

Pride in initiating good works IAN
not but stir the breast Of every pa
triotic American as he considers the
governments proposition to the powers
to enlarge the scope of the interna-
tional prize court established as a re-
suit of the peace conference of The
Hague, so that 1t may have judicial
power to arbitrate international con-
troversies. Such arbitration is now
often deferred because of the difficulty
of finding a competent and willing
tribunal, and the spectacle is some
times presented of nations in a quar-
rel peddling their dispute around
among the neutral rulers, some one of
whom finally accepts the burden of de-
cision.
What fairer and easier method of
disposing of problems that are properly
the subject of mediation than the sub
mission to an established court of fif-
teen judges chosen from among all
the nations %consenting to the pact?
While impractical theorists are vast
ing their energies and their funds in
vain crusades for disarmament, the ad-
ministration has taken a long step for
ward in advancing the aus of the
worlds peace by this project of extern
sion of the benefcent power of The
Hague tribunal.

A Cold Weather Lesson.

One of the accompanying drawbacks
to cold weather is the fact that people
are prone to neglect ordinary precau-
tions in the matter of ventilation. In
order to economic on fuel and to pre-
vent temporary discomfort, the ordi-
nary householder seals himself up al
most Theoretically during the pro-
tracted cold spells. A greater mistake
than this could scarcely be made.
Rooms warmed artificially to a high
temperature, in which the air is viii
ated by constant breathing, become a
positive menace to health.
tuberculosis, typhoid, smallpox and
similar diseases breed more readily
under these conditions than in normal
times. If you would avoid the danger
as far as possible, see to it that some
time during the day fresh air in large
quantities is admitted to your home.
You will be surprised to learn that
fresh air can be more easily warmed
and is more pleasant to live in than the
foul air, and ever were 1t necessary to
expend a little more for fuel in order
to keep your home healthy the money
is better paid for coal bills than for
medicine. Any doctor will tell you

doing in far east negotiations, and
the publication Of what was going on

faith of the people in the ability Of our

foreign problems with the courage Of
its convictions.
American diplomacy is direct, forci-
Bile and effective, and while it often
startles the old world it has thus far
been able to achieve its righteous pur-
poses. BY his latest master stroke Mr..
Knox shows anew his ability to main
tain with alertness and acumen the
fa%rsighted traditions established by his
predecessors in the State department.

Redeeming the Pledres

The fnality Of the White House
statement that the president Is not at
tempting to use a patronage club to
whip the so-called insurgents into line
is sufficient answer to the criticisms
that were prompted by a misleading
report of a Washington news agency.
1t is 10Y clear to all, as it was to the
well-informed from the beginning,
that Mr.. Taft has been pursuing the
traditional presidential policy Of align
ing his own force for the progress of
the administrations policies and of es-
t%ablishing reciprocal relations with
those national legislators who are sup
porting him in his measures.
The president knows what he wants,
and he goes about getting it in a prac-
tical way. What he wants is to give
the people what they want. BY elect
ing him to Office they expressed their
confidence in his policies, and they also
elected to congress representatives
pledged to the Taft measures. Mr..
Taft is pushing legislation with all the
power that the executive possesses,
and in this attitude the people will
sustain him, while they will also hold
the congressman accountable If they
do not fulfill the platform promises of
which Mr.. Taft has reminded them.

Again American Diplomacy,

Convention and circumlocution APP
pear to have suffered another shock
from the shirtsleeves diplomacy of the
United States in the latest develop
ments from Washington concerning
the open door in the far east. Secre-
tary Knox, by his nnouncement of
governmental support of American in
terests in Manchuria, and by his pro-
posal that the powers remove from
the M%anchurian railroad problem the
possibilities of Japanese agrees
sion, has made p%rodigious advance
ment of the American foreign policy.
The step was as bold and final as it
seems to have been unexpected.
Whether Russia and japan accept the
plan is not so vital a matter to us,
for their refusal will only leave them
open to the possibility of further en-
tanglement about a matter which we
suggest removing from the realm of
hostilities; but by our memorandum
we have demonstrated out attitude to-
ward the worlds peace and have
strengthened u position among the
nations, while standing mistaken in
our rights abroad.

manifest why Baron Uehida was in

sORELY AFFLICTED MAN.
An Expression of sympathy Felt for
Mark Twain.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
A profound sympathy from all quarters
of the civilized earth will be directed to
Samuel L. Clemens-Mark Twain-in con-
nection with the crushing affiiction that
befell him on the eve of Christmas. What
a pathos there is in the simple declaration
OF Mr.. Clemens following the tragic death
OF his laughter Jean: "She is gone, poor
child. She was all I had left except Clara,
who married Mr.. Gabrilowitsch lately and
has Just arrived in Europe" There is no
writer OF English more universally be-
loved thar Mark Twain. His individuality
is no longer hidden behind a pen name.
The people of two hemispheres know him
and will grieve with him.
The pathos of the bereavement is hight
ened from the fact that the father had
but just returned from Bermuda in order
to spend Christmas with his daughter. on
the evening before the sad mishap they
had talked over and arranged plans which
would nave kept them together during the
remainder OF the winter. The daughter
had asked that he defer his return to
Bermuda until March, when she had prom
Used to accompany him. This had been
mutually agreed upon. and then, a few
hours later came the tragedy.
1t is, of course, but the repetition Of the
universal human story. "The moving
finger writes, and having writ, moves on;
nor all YOU piety nor wit shall lure 1t
back to cancel half a line" And yet the
flood Of sympathy that will be poured
upon the lonely father will not be alto
gether in vain.

Land office Inquiry.

The utmost fairness inc the i'm
partial "thoroughness of a judicial in
v%estigation is assured by the con-
gressional action taken concerning the
Pinchot-BalIinger controversy, and the
text of the resolutions and the official
treatment of them guarantee that
every shred of evidence submitted on
both sides will be given the most ex-
haustive consideration. The resultant
verdict annot but be as just as it is
final.
In the meantime, one phase of the
situation already has been made the
subject of the most searching official
review, in the case of l.. r. CLAWS,
and the conclusions reached by the
attorney general, based on the state
ments and documents in the matter of
CLAWS charges relating to the Alaskan
coal lands form an emphatic refuta-
ton Of some of the most serious and
persistent charges brought by his de-
tractors against Secretary Ballinger
and his department.
Mr.. Wickersham, whose legal abil-
ity, personal integrity and patriotic de-
votion to the administrations policy
of conservation of natural resources
none can dispute, concludes that the
CLAWS charges are entirely disproved;
hat the records show CLAWS to have
been a meddlesome faulthnder, who
was given every opportunity by the
Department Of the Interior to make
good" but that he delayed action, sup
pressed evidence and never completed
anything he undertook, though af-
forded every facility and encourage
ment; that he was actuated through
out by selfish motives and that his
breaches of discipline and improper
charges against his superiors were due
to a species of m~egalomania. Mr..
Wickersham further concludes that
the Intervention of the forestry service
procured by CLAWS is shown by the
records to have been absolutely un-
necessary to the protection Of the in
terests of the United States.
No more convincing document has
appeared in the annals of the con-
troversy than this report of the attor-
~ney-general, which throws absolutely
out of court the entire CLAWS claim,
without at all impugning the motives
of Mr.. Pinchot in responding to the
CLAWS call to action. The reasons for
the dismissal of CLAWS from the serv-
ice are clearly manifest, judged from
the exhaustive documentary evidence
accompanying the Wickersham conclu-
sions, which, while reviewing the en-
tire CLAWS case without bias and with
Out suppression of any details, now
stands before the country as a mas
terly v%indication of the Department Of
the Interior, as far as the Cunningham
group of coal lands is concerned.
The promptness of the Interior De-
partment in submitting It's evidence to
the congressional committee displays a
desire to have, the s~peediest and most
thorough investigation. If the de-
tractors of the department are equally
frank and sincere, Judgment will be
facilitated and the public will be able
soon to see the end of a case which
already has too long hampered the gen
'uine work of government.
