POLITICAL "RECALI."

The motive of the vote in the House
OF Representatives 10 abolish the Com
MERGE Court is political. The purpose
is 10 embarrass President Taft, who rec
commended the creation Of the court. and
10 curry favor in communities where its
decisions have been unpopular. II has
made mistakes II has acted as If 1t
were an appellate Interstate Commerce
Commission instead of II court. But in
expediting the hearing of interstate COM
merce cases If has justified its existence.
70 60 back 10 the old plan of letting
these cases make their way through the
ordinary federal courts, with the differ
ent views prevailing in different jurisdic-
tons and subject TO the delay Of crowded
calendars. would be deplOrable.
What the Commerce Court needs is
not to be recalled but brought TO a sense
OF its place and its proper function.
The Supreme Court is likely 70 attend
70 this as the cases from the Commerce
Court 90 up TO il on appeal. But II Con-
greSs is impatient and wants TO be able
10 show the people at home that it Is
doing something it might modify the law
and define the jurisdiction Of the Com
merce Court in such terms that il would
be compelled TO respect that Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission and rec
ognizc its authority 10 the same extent
the federal courts always did before the
creation Of the Commerce t".Wt. a spe-
cial court for hearing ra'ls lad cases
should he retained but it should be a
court. not another and superior COM
mission.

Mr.. FTrzGER4LD'S CONFESSIONS


"The Brooklyn Eagle" seems to think
that we treated Representative Fitzger-
cid unkindly when We quoted the other
day the challenge which he flung at the
Democratic majority in the House Of
Representatives. The Brooklyn Con-
gresham thus addressed those Of his
collea gues who were voting to make
blank paper Of the Democratic party's
promises of retrcnchment:
We might as we'll face the proposition
souarelv. Is the Democratic party
honest? Is il sincere? Does it mean
what It SAYS or has II been hippodrom-
ing?
The Eagle thinks that we should not
have stopped with constituting the Con
CHEESEMAN'S remarks as impeachment,
plus conviction" but should have added
that the chairman of the House APP
propriations Committee "has courage
enough TO say the right thing at the
fright time and in the right way, even
Though candor may afford--or seem TO
"furniSh-ammunition for the adyer-
"sary." Republicans rarely do anything
of that kind. says our friend across the
East River.

FITZGERALD for his frank acknowledge

tive Of the Government and partly on
that of the Opposition. But in all prob

1t is very different measure from the
original Gladstone-Parnell bill. or even
Mr. Gladstone's second bill. The form
