New Bond with Canada.

Secretary Knox's endorsement of the
plan for the creation of an interna-
tlonai commerce commission, to exer-
else over international carriers SINH
lar powers to those vested in the inter-
state commerce commission with
respect to the railroads of the United
States, is merely the logical extension
OF the regulation now enforced in
both Canada and the United States
But it has the further significance
that the Canadians have accepted the
American law as applicable to all
questions which shall arise relative
to through freights, the routing of
traffic between the two countries. and

1t was essential, if some measure
of control was to be established, that
the regulations should be uniform, and
as this uniformity could be secured
more. easily by treaty than by con-
current legislation, q form of treaty
mas been drawn, and will be sent to
the Senate for ratification at the
present session. The agreement con-
templates the creation of a Joint COM
mission. which shall exercise all the
powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, excepting the right to
pass on claims for PREPARATION and
that of bringing criminal prosecutions
against shippers or carriers The
reason for the latter limitation is OBJ
v1ous, for there exists no information
ton and enforce obedience in cases
arising out of the actions of ihterna-
tional carriers.
Aside from its importance as a
WIDER extension of government regula-
ton of the railroads, the agreement is
interesting as another of the links
which bind these two nations, possess
ing interests alike in aim lost all the
economic and political questions of the
day, speaking a common tongue, hav-
ing the same traditions, and separated
from one another by nothing more
than an imaginary line through many
hundreds of miles of prairie and farm
land. May it hasten the formation of
other and closer SOCIAL intercourse

many interests in common to be other

which limit the free intercourse of the
TWO peoples should be welcomed and

All Aboard for Chilli.

Il have met many beautiful women
during my career Some of them were
classed as beauties at Newport, some
were noted in New York, in Paris, and
in Brooklyn. But of all the women /
have seen / must say most emphati-
cally that those I saw on my recent
trip to South America are the finest.
And of these I put those of Chilli in
the front row, with particular refer
ence to the women of Santiago and
specific attention to the wives of three
government officials. Their names are
jeanette, Rose and Helene.
Their last names? Gentlemen new
er tell the last names of the women
they admire. My wife, ever since I've
been back, has tried unsuccessfully to
learn this-and failed"
This was the enthusiastic opinion of
John H. Hanan, who returned on Fri
day from an extended trip through
South America, starting early in Nov
ember, after leaving his wife at sty-
lish watering resort near Paris.
Santiago was the city where / had
the time of my trip. I might say that
it was the place I will for all time
remember as the city where the best
time of my life was spent.

TOO MANY CRIMINALS.

Andrew D. White, in discussing the
London troubles with alien criminals,
again calls attention to the failure OF
American criminal justice. We have
too many murderers, he says, and too
few of them are punished. Last year
1875 murders were committed, which
meant an increase of 900 over the to-
tai of 1909. Only 1 in Sc was capital
ly punished.
1t is certainly true that many of our
criminal trials are tragic farces or
games tricky pettifoggers. 1t is equal
~ true that Justice which is not eff
ficient prompt and solemn is hardly
deterrent. Criminals take chances
and expect acquittal or long delays
and light sentences.
What We must do, to begin with, to
lessen violent crime is too familiar to
require elaboration. Procedure and
practice must be overhauled, and
trials rendered swift, dignified. impress
sive. What is so often said about muir
der may be said about perjury, crime
that has grown alarmingly in the
United States. 1t is hard to secure
conviction for perjury, but cannot the
law be amended to remove some OF
the obstacles to just convictions on
sufficient dence?-Chicago Record

MAKING PLAY OF WORK.
Deceiving a child into believing that
work is mere play sometimes accom-

the same principle guides the recent

1t was Mr.. Roosevelt's idea that moth

ability to walk 20 miles or so at a
stretch The officers took the prescribe
ed exercise grumblingly. Walking for
mere walking's sake is a dull business.

New Records in 1910.

Many records in the industrial and

lation, bank loans. morthly exchange
