The rapid growth of business in

1t is feared that Judge Cheadle's
chances of a federal judgeship have
run counter to a snag. The Judge
ran close race last fall to Brantley
for chief justice of Montana, and
is one of the leading jurists of the
state, but he has the hardihood to
favor the recall of the judiciary
and somebody told Taft about it.
When Senator Dixon, who is back
ing Cheadle for the position, called
on the president a few days ago
to urge the appointment, he was
taken to task and asked to explain
this reasonable position of the
Montana judge. Taft has about as
much use for anyone who favors
the recall of the judiciary as bull
has for red rag. However, the
people take to it like a
duck does to water, and wherever
and whenever they get the oppor-
tunity they give it sweeping ma
jorities.

The Express Companies.

The advocates of the parcels post
are following with keen interest
the facts as brought to light in the
investigation of tine express COM
panies.
The investigation IS being con-
Quoted to determine whether the
rates are such as should come un-
del the commerce commission. II
the facts about the express compa-
mics are brought out it will show
the methods by which the public
IS held up to pay huge dividends
to those who control the CARRYING
of express matter over the rail-
roads.
The express companies are trans
portation parasites. In the year
1909, upon an investment of ten
million dollars, their profits were
eleven million dollars--over 100
per cent
1t seems that the best method of
regulation would be the parcel
post, which would be free from the
Influence of railroads. 1t is to be
hoped that the investigation may
bring about this result and Incl
dentally the reason why action has
been so long delayed.

The Psychological Moment.

The latest declarations of II.
Roosevelt Oh the trust question re-
veal him as definitely at cross pur-
poses with President Taft. Each
is presenting a different solution of
the troublesome question.
The question now presented is
whether Theodore will try to throw
ont Will that he put into Office and
resume the sceptre he gave into
Taft S hands. The noise Roose-
welt is max ing has the sound of a
presidential candidate, who expects
at the psychological moment to
have his name flung to the breeze
and stampede the national conven-
ton.
With Roosevelt on the trail'
gay times seem to be coming in re-
publican politics, which will cause
gloom to the political preserve of
the Taft conservatives. The re-
publicans seem in bad plight, with
Taft policies failure and Roose-
welt advocating a policy that the
trusts have always insisted upon
and one which the public will not
tolerate.

lowing three false prophets--Taft,
