A NEW STANDARD FOR FAME.

The inevitable has happened. To find room TO,
the memorial to Sir Henry Campbell-B annerman in
Westminster Abbey, another tablet had to be re-
moved. The great resting place of Engands great
men and women is filled up.
Now comes the cycle offame. Sir Henrys prede-

Sooner or later this system of rotation is going to
afford interesting statistical data for historians. 1t
is to be assumed that burial in Westminster Abbey is
always for cause How firmly grounded the cause
will be measured by the number of years the body
stays there undsturbed. We have never had such an
absolute standard for comparison of regulations.
With due allowance for the prerogatve of royalty to
remain there forever, the historian of thousand
years hence will be able to reduce them to tabular

THE COURT OF COMMERCE.

Some of the people most devoted to the idea of
effective Federal regulation of transportation have
been among the most insistent opponents of the pro-
posal to abolish the Court of Commerce They have
taken the ground that, while the disposition of the
present court might be unfortunate, yet it was bet
ter to bring all this business into single forum, to
provide single channel through which it must move
and to put an end TO the distractions incident to
having these appeals from the Interstate Commission
handled by circuit courts scattered all the coun
try, moved by as many different views there are
benches, and making uniformity of procedure and
Interpretation impossible.
The recent decision of the Commerce Court in
the Louisville and Nashville case, against the COM
mission, has convinced a number Of people, who
have heretofore been persistent advocates of the
courts continuance, that they have been in error
The indications are that before long the question will
be reached, and that a determined effort will be
made to abolish this bench. Never popular, il
has not added anything to its standing by the series
Of decisions and orders it has handed down. and TO-
day it appears in rather worse odor than ever before

RUSSELL
SAYS CHURCH IS.
MOTHER OF ORDER
Pastor in Sermon Tells Why
God Appointed a
Guide.

"The Catholic Church Is the Mother
of ORDER" declared Monsignor Will
liam II. Russell, preaching this morn
ing in st. Patrick's Church, "because
she is the embodiment of that prin-
ciple from which all order springs.
For order is the outcome of author
ity and without authority the uni
verse would be chaos"
EVERY atom Is subject to laws gov
ernlnR its being and its development"
said Father Russell, "and these laws
are likewise the expression of SUI
preme authority. AS the Scripture
saith. He ruIeth from END to end
THE church is the mother of Or
DER first for the individual. because
conscience alone does not suffice.
Conscience is that inner tribunal
which gives approval of right and
wrong, but which unaided cannot al
ways tell right from wrong. 1t would
be cruel indeed if God had implanted
conscience in our breasts and then
had permitted that conscience TO suf-
fer interminable cropping and uncer-
tainty as to what is right and what
is wrong, as to what IT should give
approval, and what il should con-
denim.
but God was not so cruel. He has
appointed divine guide. One who
speaks without hesitation without
doubt, which says Thus speaks the
Lord
"Thus does the church by her divine
inf1lible authority establish laws
and by these laws become the moth
er of order for men as well as indi-
viduals."

WASHINGTON CONTAINS
AN AMERICAN IDEAL

To the Editor or THE TIMES;
Is Washington--named for one who
fathered freedoms city or municipal

Hzed settlement on earth presents such
an enigma Of significance. Certain It Is
that II Is existing contrary to the Amer
lean ideal Of liberty-without any eXer-
else OF suffrage rights. II, as now, II
continues to be only the seat Of the ma
tons Government, what shall the excuse
or explanation, be? And what of the
harvest FOR the Constitution of our
country is thus degraded and imperiled
The decree or edict Of President Taft
(reaffirming one of his predecessor,
denying to the employees of this recog.
nized free Government the constitutional
right of petition, is a vain vis-a-vis In
the derision dance. Wherefore may not
the people of the District of Columbia
awake from slumbering delrium, that

now being taught to read and revere
our Constitution shall not mourn and
mark the void between liberty and
bondage? GEORGE p. HART.

SILENCE is GOLDEN
AND CRITICISM VAIN
To the Editor Of THE TIMES

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
As read In the Mail Bag, some
articles are helpful and others much
better if silent God says spiritual
things are descerned spiritually, but to
the carnal mind 1t is foolshness. So
the word OF God Is foolishness to sin
ners. Our heavenly Father says through
inspiration (of His word), THE fear of
God iG the beginning of wisdom, and to
Fool IL wise when he holds his
tongue"
You generation of vipers and white
washed sepulchers, II you want to be
wise, be silent, and do not criticise
Gods word, for truth is truth, and with
ell your criticisinE you can't put to
silence Gods word, for man has no

APPLY COMMON SENSE

, the Editor of THE TIMES

To the Editor of THE TINES:
For the benefit of "Agnosko" and
Truth Seeker ddem ct alter. and
others of that ilk, who find fault with
the Deluge ditty a la Genesis, permit
me to do some explaining.
They do not understand how the mil
lions of species could possibly have
been accommodated In Noahs Ark.
They don't see how the polar bear was
enticed from his friRid habitat, nor the
deniHens of the torrid equator from
their lairs.
Let us apply the same clarified COM
mon sense to this matter as we should
to business EerpleNities. Now, every
one ought to know that zoology was not
instituted until the time Aristotle-lon9

THE FIGHT ON SENATOR STEPHENSON.

Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin, the aged mil
lionare whose liberal Of money in the Badger
State enabled him to enter the Senate is not going
to be retained in that body without real consdera-
ton of the issues involved For the past two days,
Senator Brstow has addressed the Senate in oppoSi-
ton to the retention of Senator Stephenson and has
set forth series Of facts that constitute formidable
argument against allowing the accused Senator to
hold his seat. Senator Bristows argument will be
followed by others, from Senator Kenyon, Senator
Lea, Senator Kern and others.
The probabilities are that in the end Senator
Stephenson will be allowed to remain But this will
not be finally settled until a considerable share OF
members of the Senate have made it clear that they
refuse to ndorse course Of action that puts the
Senate in the position of condoning the expenditure
of huge sums in the primaries. Senator Stephenson
admits the expenditure of 100000 in the pri-
mary contest in Wisconsin. Yet, it appears, major
y of Senators are willing to have it 60 out before
the country as the solemn judgment of the Senate
that such an expenditure devoid Of corrupt prac
tees of sort that ought to vitiate the election.
Senators sometimes affect surprise and adopt an
injured tone in speaking of the criticism with which
the Senate is showered and in auson to the low eS
TEEN in which the public holds the upper house
What can be expected of the public when it the
course of things in the Stephenson and at the
same time the manner in which Senator Lorimer oil
Illinois is allowed to hang to his seat indefinitely
The members of the Senate who are opposing the
seating of Senator Stephenson may be making los
ing fight so far as their appeals to the Senate tse
are concerned. They are, however, performing dis
tinct and valuable public service, and there can bt
no question that the great body of the American PEG
pie indorSe their attitude.

MEL[EN SAYS
 ROAD GAN SPEND
 CASH ELSEWHERE

Boston, June 14.-Regret at the re- jection of the western Massachusetts trolley merger bill in the senate yes terday, is expressed by President Chas. S. Mellen of the New Haven railroad, in a statement issued last evening. The statement follows:
 'tAs a resident of the section of the state most interested, for nearly all the year, I much regret the ar rested development which would probably continue. The whole legiS- lative situation has been most instruc- tive. We now know conclusively the influence we were coptending with and the methods by which the results were obtained. Assurances in which we were disposed to place confidence will deceive no longer.
 "The company has secured much needed authority in connection with the extension of the bond issues of boats and securities of steamboat companies would seem to have been removed from further controversy.
 "The company will now proceed to complete the extension provided for in the Berkshire Street Railway bill of 1910, and that will be the extent of its trolley activities in the com monwea1th from now on, It Is seem ingly bad blow to a section of the commonwealth that has been too long neglected and is a service to the New Haven road which can now expend it's money to better advantage else where''

REV. JOHN F. CORCORAN.
(New Haven Register.)


 For more than 23 years he whose departure fills with real grief the hearts of thousands in this city and state to-day, has been the moving and the guiding spirit of St. Francis Or phan asylum. His has been, through many of those years, a taxing, wear ing, incessan. work. It has been 9 work but little seen of men, but rich ly blessed of God. It was a necessary work, and no man could have done it more truly in the spirit of him who emphasized the importance of the children in his kingdom than has life he has given to this sacrifice. He never counted it sacrifice, for his heart and the love of his life were Tn it. He has gone from the activity of his task to other tasks and to be a blessing in other realms. For him and for his earthly work there can be only honor. The nature and un- selfshness of his service so cover up his own personality that personal tri- butes seem out of place, though those who knew him most closely realize that much could be truthfully said in praise of the man himself. His was the simple true heart of a child, and much of his eminent success in this service was due to his love for chil- dren. His has been. an important work, and he has done it well. Praise awaiteth him that will mean far more to his enlightened soul than all that his fellow men could say of him. Sweet memory and the inspiration of holy example remain for those whom he has served so we'll. New Haven is proud to have had him as a son, and will hold his rem mbrance dear.
