DOCTRINE MAY
APPLY TO MANY FIELDS.

It appears that the Interstate Com
merce Commission has been impressed
with the statements made by Louis D.
Brandeis to the effect that If the rail
roads were more efficiently operated
they would have much greater net rev
enues than now. It has seemed clear
from the first that the commission
would have to give this idea full con-
sideration, for this question of eff
cheney of operation, it deserves to be
emphasized, does not stop at the rail
roads.
It viii be recalled that while the
tariff debates were on in Congress the

high tariffs contributed to poor and

tariff from foreign competition, did
not rise to their utmost standard of
effectiveness. It win be remembered
that Andrew Carnegie went before the
Ways and Means Committee, for the
splendidly organized United States
Steel Corporation, and told the COM
mittee he needed no tariff, that the
corporation in which he was concerned
could meet the competition of the world
But it was insisted by Others that
smaller and weaker concerns in the
steel business needed protection, and
so Congress provided for it.
Right at this point came in the ques-
tion Of how far Congress ought to en-
gage in the business of sheltering the
less efficiently managed business cstab-
Hshment.
1t may be expected that if Mr.. Bran

upheld as to railroads there viii fol-

DRASTIC REFORM PROPOSED
FOR THE LORDS.

If the Liberals win in the approach

cat by the man who cut of its tail
just behind its ears.
The issue, theoretically, viii be the
governments veto bill, which, we are
informed, VIII restrict" the authority
Of the lords to nullify legislation passed
by the commons. An examination Of
the bill shows that the restriction
amounts practically TO the abolition
Of the house of lords as a part Of the
law-ma'Sing body
If the people indorse the veto bin the
lords, thereafter, viii have 10 voice
IN the passage Of bills which provide
for raising revenues OF making ap-
Propriations- They viii merely have
the privilege Of asserting to such
measures as passed by the commons.
As to other bills, he provision is al
most as sweeping. ANY bill passed
by the commons al three consecutive
sessions and reject d 6y the lords shall
become law without the lords assent.
As two sesEf-ns are held each year.
this means that the party in control
IN the house Of commons could enact
any legislation it desired within a
year and q half regardless of the at
titude of tie house OF lords.
The result of such an arrangement
would be, substantially, a one-house

DREXEL'S MARVELLOUS FLIGHT
IN A MONOPLANE.

One marvel succeeds another so
rapidly in the progress OF the science
Of aeronautics that it is seldom any
thing occurs that excites more than
passing wonderment. One hardly has
time to reflect upon and admire the
achievement Of some aviator who has
broken 2 record before that achieve
ment IS eclipsed by q rival.
The year of 1910 has been jammed
full of so many great deeds in the
aero world that a flight nowadays
has to be indeed striking if it attracts
any attention The sight OF an air
ship circIing about in the atmosphere
has come TO be, to those parts OF our
population that lave the chance to fre-
quent aviation fields, little more a
matter of comment than the fight of
a great bird
But the performance Of J. Armstrong
Drexel, Of Philadelphia. in ascending
to the greatest height ever reached by
an aviator, is in many respects 50 mar
velous it should not be overlooked
Mr.. Drexel surpassed the wonderful
record made by Johnstone, and as
eended to a height Of 9,97O feet in
monoplane. It is suggested, indeed,
that Mr.. Drexel went to 10000 feet,
the altitude he set out to reach, but
that the barograph failed to record it,
as the ink had run out Of the register
ing needle At any rate, he climbed
to the dizzy altitude OF about two
miles above the earth's surface and de-
seended without the slightest mishap.
Five years ago a man who said he
could do such a thing as this IN a
beavier-than-air machine would have
been locked on sadly, but suspiciously,
by his friends as one headed for a
detention hospital and needing careful
observation and treatment
The pioneers of aviation in recent
months have undergone much Many
lives have been lost, many injuries
suffered. But such a performance as
Mr.. DrexeI's shows there is almost no
limit to what can be done in aerial
navigation, save that it Is probable
that no heavier-than-air machine can
make a much greater altitude than he
made At the height he reached the
air became so rarified that further up
ward fight was impossible, and there
is little reason to believe others can
exceed it to any considerable extent.

cost about $4,000 a year to operate
it as a municipal enterprise Mr..
Straus has installed the plant, which
cost him about $1,000, and has main
tained it for nearly seven months.
He feels he has done his part in dem
onstrating the value Of such labora
tory and he now offers to give the
plant to the District. He intimates
that unless the District or some pri-
vste charitable society takes it over,
he viii close it on January I.
We are, therefore, confronted by
the question: What are We going to
do about it?
In seeking an answer to this We
should consider carefully the record
of the laboratory since its establish
ment on LAY l. The most striking
feature of the record Is the fact that
not one OF the 500 babies who have
been fed on the laboratory milk has
died of intestinal disease. Does not
the question, then, become something
ike this:
Are 500 babies worth Sl2,OO07
The Commissioners are to give a
hearing next week on the question Of
the District taking the Straus labOra-
tory. If they were to operate the plant
it would be necessary to obtain an
appropriation from Congress to cover
the expense of maintenance for the
first year After the first year it's not
at all impossible that a plan could be
evolved to make the laboratory self
supporting
The United States and the District
can surely afford TO spend $4,000 each
for the purpose OF finding out whether
500 babies are worth $4,000, and
whether even these bargain prices could
be reduced
