The Court of

The Saturday Evening Post, Says;
We Hope Senator Poindexter's bill to
abolish the newly created Court of
Commerce will receive early and
favorable consideration. introducing
the bill, the Senator said: with
one or two exceptions, the commerce
court, in every important case where
the petition was filed by a railroad,
has enjoined the orders of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. The
Spokane case was carefully considered
by the commission for years. Con-
illusions we're tested by application to
actual business before ordered into
effect. And yet the raw commerce
court, without special experience, on
a brief hearing, enjoins this carefully
considered and thoroughly tested
order"
Suppose you we're building a dam
and had employed a competent civil
engineer; but your lawyer insisted
that all the engineers orders must be
subject to review by him. In the
course Of some years, If the engineer
we're sufficiently patient in explaining
the import Of his various orders the
lawyer would understand all the
problems involved in the construction
Of the dam; in short, he would become
nearly as expert as the engineer him.
self.
However, while the lawyer was
acquiring this expert knowledge you
wouldn't be apt to make much pro.
|gress with the dam.
That is about the situation created
by the new commerce court. The
Interstate Commerce Commission, by
years Of Investigation, has become
familiar with the problems of trans
portation. The commerce court act
simply makes this expert body subject

to a body that does not know SO
much about transportation. That
the general effect of the court will be
to paralyze The Commission at least
until such time as the court itself
becomes expert in transportation
seems most likely. This new court
illustrates Mr.. Taft's passion for
turning over as much as possible of
the Government to the learned but
extremely dilatory hand Of the judge.
There is no question here Of deny
ing the railroads a right Of appeal to
the courts. That right they always
have had and always will have.

WOULD HAVE
OFFICIAL WEIGHER

There has been some informal talk
among the members Of City Council
about creating tn coffee Of city
weigher and clothe him with author
ity to have jurisdiction over all
weights and measures in the city.
That such an Office should be created
is the opinion of several members of
Council. but whether 1t will be done
is another question. some of the mem
bers feeling that the money is not
available for the purpose.
At present the clerk Of markets is
the only weigher the city has and he
is restricted to street markets. While
the Republican members of Council
agreed not TO create any new Offices,
one of them saidf to-day that if the
money was available he would vote
for an ordinance providing for such
an official. He said he thought that
IA measure Of this kind would save to
the people of the city at least ten
per cent. because of alleged short
weights and measures.

PROGRESSIVES
START PARTY
Convention, Like Religious
Revival While Delegates
Sing Onward Christ
ian Soldiers"
HOTCHKISS MAY BE
GUBERNATORIAL NOMINEE
By The United Wire.

by Inc Onlteu wire.
CONVENTION HALL, SYRACUSE,
n. Y. Sept. 5-The Progressive party
in New York was launched today in
state convention that in many
respects took on the appearance Of a
religious revival. For the first time
also in the history of the State, wo-
men participated in a purely political
movement as delegates. More than
$50 earnest women, the majority
young and decidedly energetic, enter
ed into the spirit of the movement
and their presence seemed to inspire
the men delegates.
To the stirring strains Of Onward,
Christian Soldiers" interspersed with
"There1l Be a Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight" the delegates got
down TO business and perfected
temporary Organization.
Tho keynote was sounded by for
mer Senator Frederick NJ. Daven-
port, of Oneida county. He declared
that New York State was ruled abb
solutely by a bipartisan machine
and held William Barnes. Jr., the
Republican leader, and Charles F.
Murphy, of Tammany, responsible.
Chairman Hotchkiss and all of the
other officers of the convention took
this position in their speeches and
all did their best to follow the tele-
graphic orders Of Colonel Roosevelt
ito Justify the existence of the new
party by putting a punch into every
thing" There we're fewer spectators
than had been expected. and the Off
cials ascribed this fact to the rule
which limited admission TO the hall
only to persons holding tickets.
| Hotchkiss finally ordered the men at
the doors to admit all comers, but
the seats reserved for the spectators
we're mostly empty.
All that was done at the opening
session was to listen to the temporary
chairman's address. The makeup of
the State ticket was still very much
in doubt, but it was generally believed
that former State Superintendent Of
/ Insurance Hotchkiss would finally
consent to make the race for gov
/ ernor. Nominations. however, will
not be made until tomorrow.

PRESIDENT
AFFLICTED BY
EQUITY ANKLE
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Carefully
nursing his game" leg, President
Taft left here at 10 o'clock today,
en- route to New York and New Lon
don, Conn. His injured ankle. ag-
gravated by slight touch of the gout,
was much improved today. Therefore,
he decided not to cancel his engage
ment to attend the deep waterways
convention at New London.
The President was able this morn
ing TO walk from the White House
TO his automobile to take the train.
He limped the 100 feet with the aid
of a cane. He also hobbled through
Union Station, irritably declining a
proffer of a rolling chair.
Major Rhoades. the Presidents ply
sician-aide, said today that the Pres
ident rested well last night. but that
his ankle gives him much pain. He
believes a week on the Mayfower will
result in the Presidents complete re-
covery.
