THE coMM ERcE couRr.

It was a very unfortunate circum- stance that conditions surrounding one member of that body should bring the commerce court into the limelight 20 strongly at the present time. It is serving to cause the passing of judg- ment on the court before the verdict of the investigation committee Is reached as is indicated by the action of the house looking to its abolish ment. The court has never been any too popular and 1t los what sup port it did have when the vote In favoring of its end was passed two to one.
 In the trial of Judge Archibald, how ever. it Is the man and not the court who is under suspicion and should he be found guilty 1t does not hold that the court is a bad institution. The investigation by the committee, whatever It's result. will serve to make it a better court. firmly setting forth that the judiciary must conduct themselves within the law and be- yond reproach.
 There has been a good start mado by the house in the plan to wipe out the court. The interstate commission has been opposed to it because of It's hinderlng proclivities. The measure shifts the appeals which would go to the commerce court to the district courts. The senate will have to act on the sbolishment before the bill is passed and it may get to the presi- dent. r it is shown that it is for the best interests that the court be abol- ished. there is 10 doubt 1t will go and with the approval of the presl- dent.

IDEAS OF APLAIN MAN

It is a beautiful fancy that the an- gels are interested in us. Since we can suppose anything, per- haps it is just as well to suppose things as pleasant as possible.
 I like to think of an invisible audi ence of friendly spirits. Their mute interest is heartening.
 My dog does not know what is go- ing on in my mind, yet he capers, barks and wags his tail as we walk along. This proves that one can en- joy companionship without commit nication Neither do 1 know what all the birds and flowers are thinking about, that eye me on my way, but they take away lonesomeness for all that.
 So when I have done something par ticularly good. when I have finished a piece of work of which l strongly approve, it is good to think my little chorus of attendant spirits clap their hands. Sometimes l can almost hear them It is much better than mere self satisfaction
 And if I do some deed of unob- served charity. if slip bag of pea nuts to a passing child that looks hungry. if 1 throw to a stray dog a piece of the sandwich I am munoh- ing as I lunch by the roadside, if help the laundry woman push her cart up an especially steep hill, l like to imagine the smiles of my spirit friends all about me like sunshine.
 T try not to make the angels cry said Maurice Boucher.

ON THE HOME STRETCH.

This week is bound to be a most inn portant one in the contest for the re- publican nomination. Both sides real ire the situation and at the same time recognize the fact that the safest course lies in getting everything pos sible- There are over 200 delegates 10 be chosen this week. the complexion of some of whom has already been decided. Following that about 100 will be selected which will include Ohio and New Jersey. Within the next ten days the situation will clear considerably. it is believed. While at tention is being directed strongly to Ohio just at present there are sev- sral contests which will precede that and win have an effect on the out come. The president win gain from tho Wyoming and Utah conventions, getting their instructed delegations. and tt is believed that California will alBO be found in the presidents col u7nn. The Tennessee convention promises added numbers for Taft while North Carolina and Montana VII give him other delegates. The Maryland convention will of course name Roosevelt men and there are the West Virginia Minnesota and Idaho conventions, besides many dis trict conventions. In Michigan, where one county forgot to name delegates to the district convention there has been a complete change of front and TEft delegates were named on the second convention.
 Though there are many contested delegations. the Roosevelt leaders thus throw dust in an effort to be- little the real situation, and 1t is very douboful if this scheme Is suc- cessfui. From now on both sides will put in their best efforts. There seems 10 be no pivotal state. but everyone has its importance as the national convention looms up in tho near future.

PATENT LAW LEalslArloN.

The agitation for change in the patent laws as the result of tAe re- cent decision of the United States su- preme court. has oniy been further stirred by the Oldfeld bill against which manufacturers have shown a
 71ined hostility. t is therefore
 1er step that President Taft
 when he asks for legislation
 him the authority to appoint
 mmission 10 investigate the pa--
 laws and report what is neces- .sary to bring them into greater har- mony under existing conditions
 This is the first step that should be taken In upsetting laws which have been in force since 1870. t is quite evident that there should be a readjustment of them. but 1t should be done judiciously and with the proper understanding Of the needs. There are vital principles of the paf- enf laws which must be observed. bui in forty years the industrial conditions have undergone great changes. Care must be taken not 10 lessen the ac. tivity 0f the inventive genius and that will be done if his incentive is destroyed. At the same time th, rights of the public must be con- sldered and it is to determine by ex. pert authority what should be don, in the interests of all, whether ther, Is now an unjust monoply tijrougi existing laws. and if too many usefn inventions are not now being SUD- pressed. The patent system is ont which means lot to the progress ane success of the country.

SANE FIREARMS LAW.

The experience in New York has shown the Sullivan law which makes it a crime to have revolver or gun in ones possession is a failure. It af- fords added safety to the criminal and does not give the public the protec- ton which 1t is entitled to. It has been found to be useless in the courts and in it's application. There is a widespread opposition to it and the United States Revolver association in asking the state and city officials of the Union to pass uniform. strin- gent, safe and sane revolver law, recognizes the epidemic of crime which the Sullivan law produced
 This association, which Is not in- terested in the manufacture of fire arms or ammunition, believes that were it possible to compel every law abiding citizen to arm himself and to learn to shoot straight, and were 1t possible at the same time to disarm every burglar. thug and crook, crimes of violence would be unheard of.
 The law regarding firearms should be drawn to operate against the criminal There is no need for dis arming the law abiding citizen, but on the other hand the weapons he may have in his home are one of the greatest provisions against crime. Ths presence of revolvers in the house does not argue for suicides as only two and a half per cent, of homicides are attributable to the pistol, while 25 per cent. of the murders are com mitted by professional criminals in connection with the commission of crime.

fastened by flexible chain. Now ap- pears an invention that will appeal to the distracted hostess-a bridge score with pencil leashed to 1t.
 This consists of a leather pad with corners like those used on a blotter. under which the bridge tablet is easily slipped for frequent removal At the top of the pad is a brass or nickel standard, with chain attachment for the pencil It is so flexible that the pencil can be used at any angle, yet springs into place when not needed.
 Anyone who knows the trick pencils have of getting lost at critical mo- nents will appreciate this convenience.
 Another useful novelty for a hostess who entertains much at cards is a small silver pencil sharpener. This, having ring at one end, can be at tached to the pencil standard on the pad to save scurrying for a knife or new pencil when points break CT get blunted.

HOME ATMOSPHERE.

It is said that life is made up of two things, work and play. But for in- numerable people, girls especially, who ] cannot find 1t convenient many times to go out in the evenings after nine hours toil it is made up of work and home. Millions of people return from l their tasks daily at o'clock-to what? To the skeleton of a home, the ap- pearance of a home, as conspicuous in the lack of the spirit of home as Peter Schlemihl without his shadow Father, mother, sister, brother, all the ele- nents of a family are there; father immersed in the paper mother in get ting the supper, sister in soiled weari- ness looking purposely out of the win dow, brother rummaging through his stock of neckties, asking why supper is not ready to be served him. Five | individuals, living under the same roof, fed at the same table, and more aloof than the dwellers in q boarding house. for the latter, at least, make an effort to interest each other
 Most girls accept this lack of har- | mony, this individualism of interest, this grouping together of the members of family without anything out wardly in common but their relation l ship. But the wise one will not take 1 " do di uIidlleidDle blludLlOn. It IS | hers to reason why she has no beau | tiful home life, why this ideal family | relationship she has heard about and | read about does not come within her experience.
 What a girl can do as a start to l remedy this state of affairs is to bathe and freshen up her appearance daily when she returns from work, and to | bend her efforts to get the rest of the | family to do likewise The result will
 be decided lightness of feeling With
 the shaking off of dust and grime from ] the clothes and person, the dust that 1 clogs the brain is scattered Each | member of the family will be more in | tune with interests outside of the evening meal and sleep. The physical
 well being of each will be so much | improved that he or she will take q more sympathetic interest in the oth.

TO CLEAN PEWTER.

To clean old pewter, experts usually find it best to dip the plates and tank ards, as the case may be, in basin full of hot water in which some soda crystal or borax have been dissolved.
 The water should be almost hotter than the hands can bear, and the pew ter must be washed with hard nail brush and plenty of soap. To make it shine, there is nothing to equal ordi- nary metal polish of a reliable make, to which a few drops of petroleum have been added. The dishes must then be washed in warm soapsuds, and finally rubbed dry with powdered whit ing, or while still wet with whiting paste.
 A paste of whiting, soap and milk is the best for dust stained alabaster or naments. The paste must be left to dry on and then washed away, the surface being then dried with cloth and then with a flannel

WIRELESS FOR pHILIPPINEs.

A/measure before congress which is ofs great, importance is the bill intro- duced by Senator Mclean favoring wireless telegraphy for the Philip nines. This has met with the ap- proval of the conferees named by the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy. In advocating the bill Senator Mclean would have the ex- Dense shared by this country and the Philippine government, the entire bl.l to be not over $300,000.
 The establishment of wireless sta tions in the possessions in the east will give the islands the advantages of an up to date, rapid and secret system for the transmission cf weather conditions to the navy, mer- chant marine and exposed communi- ties and the handling of commercial and business affairs in the island. It win be valuable adjunct of the army and navy departments for keeping in touch with all sections in times of riot. insurrection or war and particularly so in times preceding such hostilities.
 The value of such a system has been too fully demonstrated to need any further urging. It has its value equally in times of peace or war and the wise precaution has been taken to stipulate that in case of trouble the equipment comes under control of the army and navy departments. The plans call for six high powered stations and eight intermediate power stations for connection with some one of the six Later as the needs increase the establishment of 2S low powered stations could put the various seo- tions of the islands in instant com munication and with more stability than by telegraph.
