COMMERCE COURT DONE FOR.

The agreement of the Senate to the
House proposition to abolish the Com
merce Court is nothing more than has
been expected: in fact. the rulings of
the U. S. Supreme Court in setting
aside pretty much everything that the
Court of Commerce has done In the way
OF interfering with the Interstate Com
merce Commission. clearly paves the
way for the abolition of that court
Ii seems that the Commerce Court
assumed that the act of its creation
gave it very extraordinary and unusual
powers. This was a mere assumption,
however; for the act creating the court
did not confer any special powers upon
it at all. And so the Supreme Court
administered rebuke 10 the Commerce
Court, which practically puts this new
court out Of business. Chief Justice
White, in rendering the decisions Of the
supreme Court adverse TO the Com
merce Court, declared that the act
creating the latter did not confer upon
it any powers not then existing in the
a liAS j 'iiihj NOhilo lHipuShDuI iut
country. The chief purpose Of the act
was simply 10 obtain uniformity and
direetness in applying the decisions of
the Interstate Commerce Commission IN
the various eases that L dealt with.
The Commerce Court, however, assumed
that il was created TO be an appellate
tribunal with authority 10 review and

| This completely reversed the position
of the Federal courts towards the Inter.
state Commerce Commission. Those
courts chad confined themselves TO the
questions whether the commission had
transcended the authority granted to

lated constitutional guarantees If
the action of the Interstate Commerce
Commission WAS free OF objection on
these points, then that action stood un-
assailed; and the Federal courts did not

PARCELS POST ABSURDITIES.

The Administration has Just com
pleted postal treaty with Panama,
being the forty.ffth successive postal
treaty with powers that arc within the
international postal agreement. This
raises Panama TO participation in
our postal facilities in every respect on
the same basis as Great Britain, Can
ada, Germany. or France, The special
point that will interest the public vi
tally in this treaty is that by virtue
of it. residents Of Panama can send
parcels of considerable dimensions
through the United States mails TO any
part of this country, and citizens Of
the United States in like manner can
send parcels through the postoffice TO
Panama. But the Canal Zone being

within the purvlew Of this treaty. So

AN OLD MENDACITY,

We arc sorry to see the old claque
kept up that during the incumbency of
the American administration, Salt Lake
City became Irregular mecca OF
crooks and criminals, and ali kinds of
shady places flourished and prospered. -
Such accusation as that is mainly false
In fact and in essence, and whatever
truth there is in it must be charged
back to those who during that admin
istration publicly and constantly pro
claimed that this was a lawless, open
town where the police officers were
paralyZed, incompetent, corrupt, indls-
posed to enforce the law, and willing to
have crooks of all kinds, and espe-
cially robbers, harbor here provided
they would divide their spoils with the
Police Department. Such open proc
lamation, publicly made and long per-
sisted in, naturally attracted the at
tion Of the lawless class, and doubt
less some of that class came here in
pursuance Of that invitation and the
irresponsible and reckless promise of
immunity in crime which il conveyed.
But to charge those things as reali-
ties and as the purpose Of the admin"
istration in control of the city, was so
false and wicked that none but de-
generate mental scrlbbler would per
sist in the same at this time. The old
order has passed away, and a new order
has come in, which is assailed also on
precisely the same old lines and with
equal animositv and mendaclty. For
very shame. it seems to us, the bigoted
and wantou scribbler who revives those
false old tales in such mendaclous form,
should hide his head in utter confusion.
Why not give the former admiuistra-
tion the benefit that is now claimed
for the present one7 Why keep up the
old fanatical rerrimination under the
new deal? Abuse of the old does not
fit in with defense of the new.

A WOMAN RETRIEVED.

The Boston newspapers are congratu-
lsting the Governor and Executive
Council of that State upon their com
mutation of the death sentence imposed
upon woman, to imprisonment for
life Thus the Boston Globe treats the
case editorially as follows,

this case the fact that the prisoner was
a woman and that not for 1874 years has
a woman been executed in the common

clemency.
With regard to the strong sentiment
in favor of the abolition of capital pun
nothing TO do with the case. since it ap-
plies equally to men and to women, The
action of the Governor and the Execu-
tive Council was undoubtedly taken be-
cause of the reluctance which men ma
urally feel to execute the death SEN
tence upon woman, no matter how
richly she may have deserved IT, But
in this case it appears there is doubt,
though why there should be is some
thing to wonder at. A doubt which is
strong enough to be admitted as hay

arises, how does it happen that a wo

STILL HANGING THE POLICE.

The antl-pohce organ representing
the lawless element, claims that
''crime is encouraged by police pol
| icy, Whether that be true or not,
the fact remains that criminals are
encouraged by the policy of the Smoot
organ, There have been cases recently
where stolen goods and moneys were
| recovered without the prosecution OF
the culprits, but there has not been
any interference with the sheriff or his
department in the matter of making
arrests, nor with the county attorney
in the prosecution or prosecution
OF such cases, so far as the public has
been informed
The anxiety of the anti-police sheet
on this score seems to be in the inter
est Of having criminals pass through
the city Jail TO the county Jail, for rea-
sons which are becoming obvious
Another political issue, is the
exultant cry of the felons moutbpiece

complains of rough handling when he
escapes. And the more notorious liar
the criminal is, the more contradictory
and unreasonable his stories are, the
more space he is able to command in
the Smoot organ. On the tip Of hop
fiend. Murderer Morris practically took
up the entire attention of readers of
that paper for weeks And now an ir-
responsible burglar who dropped into
the city one day and was caught rob
bing safe few hours later, furnishes
the main excuse for the publication Of
that organ.
A thief may not be able to break
into business man s strong box; he
may not be able to break Jail; but he
can always break into the editorial
page OF the Smoot organ. That is one
place where he is sure Of welcome.
In such coneenial atmosphere he can
enjoy life and dream his dreams, and
come as near having them accepted
for realities as in any place on earth.
Prisoners arrested by the police on
| felony charges are sure TO be trans
ferred to the county Jail That is the
signal for the pipe dream artist of the
prisoners press bureau, who is dis
