GIVE THE COMMISSION THE COIN
GDes Moires Capital
According to Clifford Thorne, of the
re- ilroad commission, the state of Iowa
paid the railroads last year over STA
100000 for freight and passenger serv
ice. The state railway commission has
authority to control railroad rates and
has general supervision over railroad
matters. But the commission has no
funds with which. TO prosecute the
eases which 1t originates Any layman
who has ever made an effort to under
stand railroad freight questions knows
that 1t requires experts 10 accomplish
whatsoever in fighting rate
matters. It is exceedingly important
that the railroad commission he given
all Of the money which they ask to
fight on behalf Of Iowa shippers
against railroad determinations and to
prevent unjust increases such as were
so recently fought out in the courts.
At present there are no funds which
can be used in the preparation OF
briefs. documents, travelling expenses,
of help. purchasing books.
or any of the facilities necessary for
the proper prosecution of said cases.
The legislature will be exceedingly
derelict If they fail to take care OF the
situation which confronts the state

The HARRISON HABIT.

Carter H. Harrison. our Carter" was
elected mayor OF Chicago yesterday
over Prof Charles E. Merriam by an
estimated lead of $4,000 votes.
To vote for Harrison is a habit in
Chicago The edler Carter H. Harrison's
name was a conjure word in that city.
His mantle Of popularity fell upon his
son, who won his fifth election yester-
day. There is also grandson, another
Garter H. The supply meets the de-
mand.
Many things combined to elect Har-
rison. He had a 20 cent gas PROPOSE
ton which is one OF strong appeal
how strong those who are paying s1.45
per thousand are in position to re-
alize The democrats didn't split as
expected-they rarely do.
Merriam was a high brow" Carter
was "our Carter" down below Twenty
Second as his father was "Owld Carter
years ago on Market and below Con-
gress Some voted for him because
he stood for cheap gas. some because
they needed him in their business, some
because he is g democrat, some because
he is the sor OF his father.
The Harrison habit Is strong. Since
the hero Of Tippecanoe 1t has been a
name to eonjure with. Benjamin

William Henry and Young Carter
built upon the site Of "old Carriers"
popularity. It's a habit.

NOW RI IS UP TO THE DOCTORS.

The Miller bill aimed at an alleged
doctors trust" was decisively defeated
in the house yesterday. It's author
urged the bill for passage in a speech
in which he charged physicians with
soliciting commissions from nurses and
quoted from a speech made by a Sioux
City undertaken before the recent con-
vention of Iowa undertakers in which
the speaker, J. c. Wescott. deplored the
demands made upon undertakers by
physicians for money in return for bus
mess.
Inc vote of the house was a certifi-
cate OF confidence in the medical pro-
1ession Of the state. a certificate which
will be endorsed by the physician en-
ploying public
however, II now Stems up to the
medical profession. 1t is true as Rep
resentative Miller says that the ply
slcian has been favored by protective
laws which are also of public protec-
ton. If as Mr. Miller and the Sioux
City undertaken openly charge, nurses
are being mulcted Of commissions and
undertakers panhandled by medical men
II seems to be up to the profession to
cut out the practice and purge itself of
those who thus indirectly make ignoble
profit in a noble calling.
The medical societies are strong
enough and their membership of suf-
hciently high character to take care
OF the good name and usefulness of the
profession they represent They should
set ABOUT 1t. 1t is a serious thing when
a legislative house considers a bill like
mat OF Miller's. 1t is not enough that
the bill has been defeated. The medi-
cal men of the state should meet Mil
ler's charges half way. disprove them
or reform the conditions if they exist.

ness Of Caesars wife it is that of medi-

The eastern press is polsing fun at
the former Iowans, who are living IN
New York or near New York. and who
belong to the Iowa society In New
York, and who get together once q year
and tell each other what g. great state
Iowa Is, but who never dream Of COM
ing back to Iowa. And there IL more
than a grain OF truth in what those
eastern newspapers say. It Is bitter
sarcasm. And perhaps those former
1owans would do better to disband
their organization, and to waste no
more time on a subject that makes
them and iowa ridiculous. Iowa gave

The chief justice of the United
States is reported to have said, in
speaking to a friend. that he became
more and more oppressed with the
power and responsibility Of his posi-
ton. and he added that what particu-
larly oppressed him was the fear that
some time the nine justices might
thwart the will Of ninety millions. This
anecdote was told to member Of the
Bourbon aristocracy, who at once an
swered: What does White think they
are there for?" If. as the Italian prov
erb says. this is not true. it is at least
vel conceived Mr.. Justice Holmes, de-
firing the police power, explained. in
the Oklahoma bank guaranty case,
ca lied Noble State Bank against Hask-
ell:
that the police power extends to all the
great public needs. 1t may be put forth
in aid of what is sanctioned by usage,
or held by the prevailing morality or
strong and preponderant public opin-
ion to be greatly and Immediately nee
essary TO the public welfare"
On petition for IA rehearing, Mr.. JUS
tice Holmes observed that a powerful
argument might be made against the
wisdom of the legislation, "but on that
point we have nothing to say. as 1t is
not our concern" MI Justice Hughes,
in the case Of the Chicago Burlington
& Quincy Railroad Company against
Mcclure. states deliberately the same
point Of view. For the supreme court
of the United States so clearly to rec
ognize this relation between PUBIC
opjnion. legislative freedom. and jul
dicial duty makes for the usefulness
of our courts and for their continuance
as one of the factors in our civic life.

ANOTHER BIT OF NONSENSE.
[Cedar Rapids Republican,


Some writer has put the blame on
farms. He has come to the con-
settle down on the farms and that
places in the cities. This is the So
cial side OF the problem. But we do
not believe there is much in 1t. The
the farms az are the boys. The boys
often wander Off first and then go
back to take the girls to the cities with
them.
For many women farm life has
some terrors. because OF its unsocia-
bility, no doubt But these objections
are not as prominent as they have
been in the past They now have the
telephones and many Of them have
the automobile which enables them
to go to town with comfort and
speed. In late years in many neigh
borhoods social circles have been or
ganized and frequent meetings have
been held, especially during the win
ter months. The work on the farms
has meant considerable drudgery. even
more for the women than for the men.
In Minnesota recently a hundred farm
ers organized a cooperative laundry,
in connection with a creamery plant,
and the women in that neighborhood
have been relieved Of one hard day in
the week. Other such movements are
under way
TO put the blame on the women is
hardly fair. Every one knows OF
women who have gladly gone even
from the cities to the farms, espe-
cially on western ranches. and have
found comfort and enjoyment in 1t
such as they could not have found in
city life.
