ONE PERFECT MONTH.

March days are raw, June days are
rare, according to the poet, but
words fail adequately to describe an
October day when the weather god
ic on his good behavior. There is
none of the lassitude of the spri
months of the heat of sum-
mer or the blood-congealing blasts
OF winter about October. q 1t is the
one month in which weather proph-
cts may safely predict today the
brand of weather we are to have to-
morrow-it is usually bright and
fair in October.
There is a snap and vigor in the
October air that of no other month
possesses in the same perfect de-
October air that no other month
too cold. Old Sol shines brightly and
with consistency. The old fellow
seems to be putting on last perfor-
nance before withdrawing behind
the snow clouds of winter. He seems
anxious to leave a good impression.
October has it's showers-not the
cold, drizzly, lifeless showers of
March nor the dank and dripping
rains of June, but showers of beau
tiful autumn leaves, brown and gold
and crimson,-varied shades and
tints. A walk in the woods during
to be remembered. Nature daubs
with green in the spring, but in Oc-
tober she exhausts her colors and her
skill in setting man an object lesson
in art. No canvas ever depicted a
forest leaf more beautiful than any
one of thousands that lie in heaps
upon the ground.
There is an incentive to labor, in
the October air and sunshine. Life's
burdens seem easy. Optimism
reigns and all nature goes busily
about it's task of preparing for the
winter season. October is wonder
full month and then follows Novem-
ber and the fattened turkey, when the
frost is on the pumpkin and the
spirit of Thanksgiving is abroad.

RAILROADS AND THE COURTS.

The selection at the recent Gov
ernors' convention of Governors
Aldrich, Harmon and Hadley to take
Up certain matters with the United
States Supreme Court forecasts the
settlement of many pressing ques-
tions. Perhaps most important of
these is a recent recision of Feder-
al Judge nullifying a, Minnesota law
regulating railroad rates on the
ground that it interfered with inter-
state commerce. A Missouri court
held to the contrary. Minnesota ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court; so did
the Missouri railroad.
By a. series of decisions limiting
the Federal government on the one
hand, and the states on the other,
the Federal courts seem to have
created a twilight zone where rail-
reads are free from all governmental
supervision. Indeed, in the realm
of interstate commerce there is a
sort of no-man's land where every
Ishmael brothers hand is raised
against his brother. The state laws
are so varied and conflicting that in
operation they amount to anarchy.
The Courts decision will be far
reaching; it may be revolutionary.
More than 80 per cent of our COM
merce is interstate. Will the states,
by cooperative effort, meet the sit
uation? Have they that power? If
not, will they insist upon an amend
n;ent to the National constitution
giving them that authority? The
delegation to the Federal govern
ment of control over the formation
and operation of corporation doing
interstate business may be the only
remedy.

Teachers Who Inspired

Prof. B. F. Hoffman of the Ger
man department tells of the first
physics laboratory at the University,
established by Prof. J. R. Thomas
in 1888.
AT that time the only laboratory
was that of DR.. Paul Schweitzer," ("
said Professor Hoffman. "All the
other sciences were taught without
the aid of demonstration. The first
teachers of science had a hard time.
OF course the languages could be
taught then about as we'll as now,
but not so with the sciences.
Professor Thomas was here only
two years but in that time he did
much for the University. He created
the first physics laboratory, ever
making the apparatus The little
demonstration room was in the east
end of the old University building.
After Professor Thomas had it fixed
up he invited the students in physics
to use it. Four of us accepted. Those
four were John C. Leggett, now a
lawyer in New York City; Paul Alex

when Professor Thomas left,
the work which he had started was
taken up and after a while We got
the laboratories that we now have.
The impetus which Professor Thom-
as had given to the work went on.
Quite an enthusiasm developed
among the students for physics.
From this little start away back in
the early eighties there sprang our
