EMPIRE

Owing to changes in the Bijou pro-
gram, the Princess susanna has been
transferred to the Empire theater and
will make her first appearance on
the Empire stage tonight. This thir-
ty-two-inch midget, this tiny atom
is q vaudeville success, and while her
voice is not powerful, she is cute and
interesting, and in her tight-wire act
shows the skill of big men and
women, and is extremely graceful
She does many daring stunts on the
wire. She is twenty-seven years OF
age. Regina Reed and her two darky
picanninies, in songs and dances, and
Whittier and Crosson the song ar
fists, make up program OF unusual
monkeys-,a laugh from beginning to
end.

THE COMMERCE U

Because of the frequency With

merce commission have been over.
ruled. the new commerce court has
attracted adverse criticism which is
session Of congress. Already. 1t is
said. a formidable movement has be-
sun Il abolish the new court.
Cnquestionably there is popular
confidence in the interstate commerce
commission. Probably no tribunal
has come so close to the people as
the commission. Certainly no trihun-
al has had such a faculty Of getting
to the heart OF complex legal prob
lens and deciding them in a plain
and understanding amer Rail-
roads which have suffered by adverse
rulings OF the commission have prais-
ed the work Of the body as freely as
the shippers who have been benefited
by the decisions. on the other hand,
when the decisions have been adverse
to the shippers. they too have ad-
mitted the impartiality Of the COM
mission.
The public generally feels that it

pers and railroads know they will
each be give. a squar deal, and that
whatever decree is made, whether
favorable or unfavorable. will be ac-
cepted by the public in good faith.
The strength Of th> commission is
due to the fact that ii has consistently
disregarded technicalities and has re-
duced the problem Of railroad regula-
ton to a common-sense. husiness-like
basis. 1t does not require a legal
mind 10 realize wha, the interstate
commerce commission means when
an important case is decided. The
fact that such orders are accepted
without question by the public is suf-
ficient proof that they are just and
equitable. The %upsetting of these
orders. with the consequent desturb-
ance and uncertainty in the business
world, seems to be regarded in some
quarters as a hindrance rather than
a help toward the ultimate solution
of railroad questions. and. hence. the
movement to abolish the commerce
court on the ground that it is a sup
erhous machine Of justice which en-
cumbers rather than hastens results.

Modern science teaches us that
everything in nature has its definite
purpose. The naive point of view of
past ages. according to which a we'll

to n inqufsitive gaze Of modern
scientific investigation. We now know
that the refreshing green of the woods
and meadows Is not provided for our
enjoyment, but for the serious and
practical purpose OF plant nutrition;
the flowers display their bright colors
to attract the insect that carries the
pollen from stamen to sigma; the AL
pine hare is snow colored so as to be
hidden from the sight of his enemy,
while the lion is tawny and the tiger
striped. in order that he may be undis-
tinguisable from the natural back

Here and there al instance may be

 EXPECTED TO BE IN LINE
Plans Completed fcr Foresters' Big
 Celebration.

At 9 second meeting of the joint committee of the Foresters' courts, held Tuesday evening in Foresters' hall, at which Chairman Frank J. Murtha presided. practically all the details for the Foresters' big celebra- ton here on November 16 were decid- ed upon. Public prominence to this coming goth anniversary of the begin ming of Forestry in this city will be given by a street parade, for which Tubbs band has been engaged, and for which the following line of march was laid out: From F. of A. hall along Main street to Preston bridge coun- termarching along Main street as far as Thames square, and then counter marching back to the ball, where social and literary programme, espe- cially for Fcresters. will be given.
 Acceptances to invitations to be present have been received from the following state officers: Grand Chief Ranger William J. Hayes. Grand Treasurer William Walsh of Meriden Grand Secretary Thomas OLaughlin of Naugatuek Past Supreme Chief Ranger John S. Cosgrove of Hartford Past Supreme Chief Ranger Thomas H. Dorohue of Providence and Grand Trustee William A. Authier of Put nam.
 Chief Ranger Edward T. Burke of the grand court of Connecticut will be one of the speakers.
 When the parade lines up. it is ex- pected that tLere will be from 300 to 400 of the members of three courts in Norwich in line as their membership is between 600 and TOO and the com mittee expects that fully half of these will parade.
 A grand smoker with light refresh ments will be the concluding feature of the evening in the hall, which will be strictly a Foresters' affair.
 Something of what Forestry has meant in this city since it's beginning here is indicated by the sum that has been distributed through the three courts for benevolent purposes. This has Dc en ever s45.000. divided between Court City Of Norwich, which has been in existence twenty years, Court Sa- chem II years and Court Quinebaug 12 years. The three courts now have il. their treasuries in cash over Sf3.- 900, exclusive of all other properties.
