The express companies appealed to
the United States circuit court, where
Federal Judge A. b. Anderson set
aside the order. holding that the com
mission had not the statutory right
to make such an order. The commits
sion then set about to have the gen.
eral assembly amend the law so as to
give the commission the authority TO
initiate rate actions. The amendment
was passed by the legislature.
The inquiry commenced today will
be along similar lines to the former
probe. and much OF the testimony pre-
viously obtained will be used, The
commission found at that time that
the express business in Indiana
amounted to about Sl,000.000 year.
The rate reduction ordered but set
aside by the federal court would have
saved Hoosier shippers from $15O,0OO
to 100000 year. AT the former ~
vestigation the commission was on the
defensive. in way, but this time the
tables are turned and it devolves on
the defendant companies to show that
the finding of the commission is un-
Just or unreasonable.
On going deep into the history of
the express business the commission
has discovered that but little money
had actually been put into the bust
ness. as compared with the amount
taken out. Most of the capital stock
the commission found TO be water.
! The action commenced today in
wolves the Adams. Wells-Fargo, Amer
/ lean. National. United States, Pacific
and Southern express companies
Commissioner Wood who wrote the
opinion in the 1907 case, Is now chair
man OF the commission. His innings
at that time attracted national atten
ton to the alleged express monopoly
and have been used as the basis oil
similar inquiries in other states and
in Canada. The Canadian commission
followed the findings of the Indiana
commission and fixed express rates IN
accordance with the rulings OF the
Hoosier body
II was shown that the minimum eN
press rate in this country has for 9
quarter of a century been maintained
at % cents. while in Great Britain
where the express companies compete
with the government parcels post, the
minimum is cents. The commission
also expressed the opinion that the
express companies were parasites Oh
the pubic and the railroads. and tha'
the express business ought to be done
bv the railroads themselves, eliminat
,ng the great profits of the express
middlemen.

THIS is. A GRAND AND GLORIOUS
DAY.

Thursday, August 3, 1911, will go
down in history as one of the bright
est days in the annals of time, because
on this day three of the worlds great
est nations proclaimed that hence
forth and forever, come what may,
they will be friends.
II the effect of this treaty were linn
tied to the three contracting nations
it would be an event of wonderful I'M
portance. But 1t will not be so circum-
scribed The light of such a shining
example can not be hid; it will illum-
mate the darkened minds of the peo-
pie of less enlightened nations to such
an extent that they will see clearly
that war is nothing but organized
wholesale murder, and when this
great truth comes to be recognized
these people will demand of their gov
ernments the disarmament and aboli-
ton of their barbarous and burden
some military and naval establish
ments. And if any of these govern
ments, the kaiser's for instance, re-
fuses to heed this demand, the people
will destroy it and establish another
in its stead based on Christian prin-
ciples.
Never in the history of the world
was there an occasion for greater re.
joicng. Think of it! This treaty is
the daystar of universal peace. the
dawning of the era foretold by
prophets and poets. by seers and
sages, when men shall beat their
swords into plowshares, their spears
into pruning hooks and learn war no
more. There can never be another
Alexander, another Julius Caesar. an
other Napoleon. In the light of true
Christian civilization all the glamour
with which humbuggery, masquerade
ing as romance, has invested them is
stripped off and their true character
as robbers and murderers is revealed
in all it's repulsive hideousness.
Possibly there are no outward dem
ontsrations to celebrate this stipend
Gus event, no blare of trumpets, fiaunt-
ing of banners nor boom of cannon.
1.-THE kingdom of heaven cometh not
by observation" But all over this
great world as the news is flashed by
the wires every Christian heart Is
thrilled with joy. 1t is the day of tri-
umph of the Prince of Peace.

1t is not only unjust but downright
mean to attempt to hold Governor Col
quit responsible for the depleted con-
dition of the state treasury. 1t is the
result of a bungling attempt of his
predecessor to make political capital
for himself by reducing the tax rate
below percentage that would pay
current expenses. The people OF
Texas know this and can not be mis-
led from placing the responsibility
where it belongs.
