Tobasco, which was for a time har-
raised by rebels. is now reported quiet,
with the rebels apparently subdued.
Nothing has been heard for some days
OF General Mirnndi, who revolted
against the government with q large
force and was said to be advancing on
Mexico.
The proclamation of President Taft
which forbids the expectation of arms
into Mexico is said to have bettered
the condition of Americans in Mexi-
so, this mornings kilograms say, and
hope Of ultimate peace throughout
Mexico is expressed.
II was unoffcially pointed out at
the state Department today that the
wording of the Presidents proclama-
tion enables him to make such an
exception as he may at any time think
best, and that he can, II he desires,
permit either side to import arms
into Mexico
simultaneously with this statement,
II was reported that President Mad
ero would ask the President to re-
lease a large shipment o farms be-
longing to the government and which
had been held M in New York city.
The report, however, could not be
confirmed.

BILL TO ABOLISH
COMMERCE COURT
| IS REPORTED TODAY
Early Dissolution of. the
Tribunal Is Now Be-
lieved Assured.

The Sims bill to abolish the Commerce
Court, which has restrained and over
ruled various orders of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, was favorubly
reported by the House Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce to-
day.
The action Of the comm ittee virtually
assures the carly dissolution of the
court. as tho Appropriations Committee
Is ready to refuse to appropriate for its
maintenance in the event the Senate
noes not accept the Sims bill

The vote. II Is said. was not strictly
along lines.

Commerce Court has been In existence
but little more Than a year, but in that
lime, according to data obtained by the
House committee, has reversed the de-

Commission in twenty out of twenty
seven rate cases.
Appeal To Federal Courts.

peals from the Interstate Commerce
Commission shall be taken direct to
the District courts of the United States
and thence to the Supree Court.
The bill also provides that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission shall have
solicitor at an annual salary of $4,000
who shall represent it before the courts
in the event Of appeals from the de-
cisions Of the commission.
Two Bodies Clash.
Practically since the creation of the
Commerce Court there has been con-
fiict between it ard the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Members of the
commission have been rather caustic in
their criticism of the Commerce Court,
which was alleged to have adopted d
policy of virtually multiplying the more
important rate decisions of the commits
sion. The breach between the two
bodies was widened when the Commerce
Court upheld the contention of the car

missions ruling in the lntermountain

the Senate in agreeing to the abolish
ment of the Commerce Court, the House
has still another means of bringing
about this end. 1t can refuse to ap-
propriate for the maintenance of the
court, and 1t would automatically dis
solve without such an appropriation.
The following members OF the COM
lnlttce. voted 20 abolish the court: Chair
man Adamson and Congressman Rich

fogle, Hamlin, Martin of Colorado; Gov
ington, Cullop Gould. Roremus, and

Congressman Broussard, Democrat,
voted with the Republican members to

were congressman Stevens, Esch,

THE RlPENED WISDOM
OF THE MELLOW YEAR.

In the matter of the appointment of
a member of the Supreme Court of
the United States, the President has
been considering two gentlemen very
serlohsly-one a learned jurist from
Kansas, tn other member of the
Presidents present official family.
or the latter the question of age has
arisen, he being in his sixty.third
year, while except in one case, it has
been the rule of the President not to
appoint a man to this office over six.
ty years OF age. In this case the
President no doubt feels that "the
repened wisdom of the mellow year"
counts for something.
On this age question Representa-.
tive Shepard of Texas delivered a
telling address at the last session of
Congress-. 1t is lengthy but contains
much information that all should be
acquainted with On account of its
value to all we have pleasure in
printing it, Mr.. Shepard said

RAISING SALARIES
AND CREATING OFFICES

Raising salaries and creating Off
ces seem to be the chief stock in
trade of the present city commission
to date. One of their first official
acts was to raise the salary Of the
marshal In order to give the demo.
cratic chairman good job. They
next created an office known as col
lector" in order to care for another
of the faithful. The latest creation is
that of checker" and the mantle has
fallen on that monument OF political
treachery Joel Kicks. Kicks was head
ed for the office Of Auditor. after the
resignation Of Mr.. Quincy, but failed
to land Kicks was at one time Re-
publican in good standing. He at
tended the last City Republican Con.
vention and assisted in the nomlna-
ton OF ticket after which he did
all he could to defeat II. Commission
er Lindquist was the beneficiary of
Kicks treachery and now, no doubt
thinks 1t necessary for Kicks to re-
ceive his reward, hence the appoint
ment of Kicks by Lindquist. We say
Lindquist from the fact that the mat.
ter was referred to him for action.
Lindquist must settle with Kicks for
services rendered, and is evidently
perfectly willing for the people TO pay
the bill. Just what the duties Of the
checker" are is not clear aside from
giving Commissioner Lindquist
chance to pay his political obligations
at the peoples expense. unless lie
is to check up on the many officers
that ought TO be-on duty, and the
many offices necessary to keep the
machinery of the commission In good
running order.

RED CROSS
IN CIVIL WAR

When the farmers of the treaty of
Geneva, which provides for the pro-
lection of agents of the Red Cross in
war, had completed their task they
had ommitted all mention of one I'M
portant question which has recently
been cause of uncertainty and some
embarrassment. This question re.
lates to the function of the Red Cross
in civil war.
The treaty, in fact, does not pro.
vide any method by which the Red
Cross may help to ameliorate the
horrors of civil war. When two gov.
ernments are at war with each other
II both are signatories to the treaty
both are bound to protect the agents
of the Red Cross and respect the Red
Cross flag. II only one OF the war
treaty, neither is required to respect
the Red Cross flag or agents. In such
a case, the two countries, by special
agreement, may bind themselves to
observe the rules of the treaty, and
thus avail themselves of the humane
administrations of the Red Cross.
In the case of civil war or revolu'
tionary movements, however, the rev.
dictionaries are not only not signers
of the treaty of Geneva, but as they
have no recognized governmental
status, the are held to be incapable
of entering into responsible agree
ment concerning the Red Cross with
the government which they are try.
ing TO overthrow. Thus no way is
left open by which the Red Cross
may legally and safely give its kind.
ly services in time of civil war.
During the progress OF the recent
revolution in Mexico the American
Red Cross offered its services to the
Mexican government, but its offer

THE FAULTS

II We analyze the worst among The

immaturity. And America is, in truth

1T Is a condition. and perhaps 1t
would show more just discrimina-
ton to regard these defects which
| have mentioned as symptoms rather
than as qualities. The Americans are
childish in everything--in their sim,
plicity of heart, in the gusto with
which they address themselves to
life, i'm their adherence to artificial
and imposed standards of conduct, in
their tendency to talk too much, and
too much about themselves; in their
profound and admirable curiosity; is
their whole-hearted desire to initiate
or acquire what they admire in other
people. and, at the same time, in
their innate distrust of people who
do not think exactly as they do

again that services of unmeasured
value may be rendered by the old.
1t must learn again that in neglecting
the old it is wasting one of its most
valuable assets. 1t is the general
complaint Of students of human in

of former ones; that If each genera

the result is that the emblem has lost
its sacred character in farcial and

extract from private letter from

this point;
"All sorts of people are using the
