THE DWINDLING GRAND ARMY

The tragedy or t,fe passing years lS disclosed in the annual report of the commissioner of pensions. During the civil war there were in the service of the United States in various capaci- ties of military usefulness 2,2l5.5o9 persons Of that number only about 25 Der cent are now living. Each year more than 6 per cent pass away and at the end of the fiscal year Just closed there were on the pension rolls only 529.SS4 survivors of the war. During the year 35.243 or the veterans died. The ratio of decrease must necessarily increase annually for the average age of the survivors is now about 70 years. and In the nature of things they will pass at d steadily growing rate.
 In d few years the annual reunions of the Grand Army of the Republic will be attended by d mere handful of veterans. Even now there are thousands who are unable, through illness and decrepitude, to reach the places of assembly. The annual re- view of the old soldiers has become a pathetic spectacle, and the sugges- tion is regularly urged that the! abandon the practice of marchins' The route is being shortened year py year. so that the fatigue of the pa rade will be more easily borne, ana vet at each of the encampments some of the veterans pass away, parlIS in consequence of the exertions mel dent to the occasion.
 Not many years will elapse before the last of the veterans will remain the solitary survivor of the great army that fought half century ago for the preservation of the Union. Which one of the half-million vet erans now living will this be? A drummer boy of the sixties. perhaps. A private soldier. an officer? Will he live long in his honored position as the last of the veterans. an inspira- ton to the patriotism of American youth. his home. perhaps. shrine visited by tourists? And will he be paid the honor due to one so sig nificantly situated?-New York Star.

One of the most characteristic features of Austrian life is the large number of "krankenkas- sem or sick benefit societies of work ingmen, and somebody conceived the happy idea of enlisting these organi- cations in the fight.

In all probability the law which created the United States court Of commerce will be repealed by con gress at the next session.
 experiment, and in response to a general demand from shippers Cor a more rapid metl.nd of securing de- risions in ca ses appealed from the in terstate commerce commission.
 Under the old system, an appeal from decision by the interstate commerce commission went first to the United States circuit court, thence to the circuit court of appeals, and finally the supreme court of the Crited States, in the event that the parties on either side were not satis- fled with the decisions of the inter- mediate courts
 All this took time. Impatient at the delays incident to this procedure. the slippers of the whole country de- rlanded a shorter route to final de- c;eions. Heeding this demand, Presi- cent Taft recommended the creation oC court of commerce, the sole duty of which would be to hear cases ap- pealed from the interstate commerce commission.
 Congress was reluctant to create the court, influences from two sources showing up against the proposed law; the democrats were opposed to creat- ing positions which would be filled

by republicans for life, and the rail- way companies were not favorable to the presidents plan.
 And now that the shippers in the west, misled by politicians and ig- norant papers, are expressing them selves in favor of abolishing the court. it is very likely that it will be promptly abolished when congress meets
 But it is a curious circumstance that the rather hysterical demand for abolition of the court is based on a misunderstanding of what the court did in the matter of the interstate commerce commissions order in the Spokane Phoenix Reno cases. In the first place, the court of commerce held as CONSTITUTIONAL the law which congress enacted last year prohibiting carriers from charg- ing more proportionately for short | haul than for long haul. This was the law under which the very import ant order by the interstate commerce commission rendered last June, de- manded a reduction in the rates from the east to intermountain points.
 In the second place, while holding that the law is constitutional, the court says in effect that a doubt has been raised as to whether the inter state commerce commission proceed ed properly in fixing the rates under this law: and. to clear up this doubt a temporary injunction was issued against the order of the commission in order to enable the court to re- view the cases on their merits.
 To explain the situation more clearly: The interstate commerce commission, in the famous order of last June. undertook to establish certain zones" in which blanket rates would prevail Thus. it was ordered
 
 Phoenix, and the rates from Duluth to Phoenix should be the same. The distance from Galveston to Phoenix IS much shorter than the distance rom Duluth to Phoenix. The same dis
 crepancy occurs as to some other
 points.
 It is to determine primarily whether the interstate commerce commission dealt justly with shippers and car
 riers in establishing these zones and in fixing certain arbitrary rates regardless of distances. that the court of commerce will review the cases
 on appeal.
 A local paper. which always ex- poses its ignorance whenever it un-
 dertakes to discuss such objects. howls that the case will not be decided for years" by the court of com merce The court having been estab- ushed for the very purpose of eX-
 pediting cases on appeal. and there being no congestion of business III
 this new court, there appears to be
 no reason why its decision may moi
 be forthcoming within a few months
 at most.
 And this much is certain: 1T the court had not been established. and if the appeals of the railway com panies had been taken through the
 former channel which we have de- scribed. the necessary delay would have been much longer.
 The really important feature of the courts action was in upholding the CONSTITUTIONALITY of the long and short haul clause of the amend cd interstate commerce law. This IS 2 law for which the shippers of the middle west and of the intermountain region have been contending for years
 The demand for abolition of the court is a demand which plays direct Iv into the hands of the transcontl- mental railways.
