THE COMMERCE CouRr-

The action of the house of represen- tstives in rushing ahead and endeav- bring to abolish the commerce court before it's standing had been deter mined by decision of the United States supreme court, shows how little con sideration was given to the matter It was a headlong plunge. because of the action which had been taken against a judge of the court. and be cause Of which f. came in for undesi7- able criticism
 The United States supreme court has now. however. given it's decision. and the exact duties of the commerce court are now known IL can there fore proceed in it's work. considering Itself a branch of the United States circuit court and it's purpose is to se- cure speedy determination in railros il and other interstate commerce cases. By the decision of Chief Justice White the act Of creating the court aimed ay securing speed in the decisions con cerning Interstate commerce, but no more power than existed al that time ia the federal courts of the country.
 To do away with the commerce court would be a backward step. The court will not impair the work of the interstate commerce commission. but ils retention ls advisable in the inter- est of the cases. which will get 8 speedier determination The court having had its boundaries determined will conflne itself to It's work. and the result should be beneficial

DELAY FOR LoRIMER.

The senate seems loath to act upon Lorimer and because of the political conventions, which are keeping many cf the senators away from Washing ton, the date for the vote thereon has been put over until July S. Every de- lay possible has been taken in getting a decision on this matter. It looked like an easy way out of the bad situa- tion when Lorimer agreed to resign, but his change of mind is firm and to get him out the senate must act.
 It is conceded in the case that there was corruption. and that because o1 the corruption Lorimer was elected to the senate. The point is, therefore, whether Lorimer was a party to the corruption or not, being chosen through corrupt methods, he is not entitled to his seat. Friendship should not be allowed to govern in a case of this nature, which concerns the gov ernment of the nation, as it forms a poor excuse for keeping corruption open as a door to the senate cham Der. The senate should be prompt in- stead of dilatory in their action when it is one of their own members who is concerned.
 Throughout the country there is a call for action and 1t is against cor ruption. Whether Lorimer was per- sonally concerned in the deal or not, he profited by it. and his retention in the senate should not be tolerated.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN

What people want is climax. Money, work, play and war taste good only as they supply needed climaxes.
 The boy who is playing out behind my house stops every once in awhile and lets out a blood-curdling yell, apropos of nothing at all The little girl jumps up and down and screams. That is what they call fun. And it is the only kind of fun there is.
 Human nature is full of gunpoWder. It must explode occasionally.
 Mans progress is similar to that of an automobile, by a series of ex- plosi0ns.
 In primal days he went out and wrestled with bears
 History is d series of wars. The dull popuIace enjoyed cutting one an others threats, ito relieve the pres sure"
 It is the peril of risk that makes 1 business attractive. It is the edge ot ruin that keeps the gambler going. Ii is the climax of living that lures the drunkard It is the ecstasy that thrills ] the saint

A HANDkERcHIEF CASE.

A new kind of handkerchief case for the traveller is made from 30 inches of lowered ribbon folded over at each end and into pockets five inches deep.
 Turn down half an inch hem and slip in it piece of featherboning and briarstitch the edge instead of hem ming. Now overcast neatly the edges of the ribbon to form the pockets. The boning gives little spring and makes it easier to insert the handkerchiefs.
 Make the sachet separate from a five by three inch piece of green messa- line filled with several heavily scented layers of cottong wadding. At the upper side fasten a small bow of half inch white satin ribbon, with a rose- tuo in the knot, made of two shades of pink silk. This sachet is slipped in one of the pockets and can easily be refilled.

LEE & osGooD GUARANTEES RHEUMA FOR RHEUMATISM

What chance does any sufferer take when RHEUMA is guaranteed to ban ish rheumatism, lumbago, gout and kidney ailments, or money back?
 Why not investigate this offer; talk to The Lee & Osgood Co.,, about it. RHEUMA surely does drive rheumatic poison from the system, brings swol len joints back to normal and relieves agony in two days.
 People so crippled with rheumatism that they could not walk have been absolutely freed from the iron grasp of the demon, rheumatism, with less than half a dozen 50-cent bottles A few hours after the first dose, RHEU- MA begins to dissolve the uric acid and drive it from the body through the natural channels.
 Everybody can afford RHSUMA- the price is only 50 cents a bottle; and the dose is small

THE sATTLEsHIP NEED.

Universal peace sentiment is gain ing, but it is not that which actuated the house at Washington to cut out the two battleships in the naval ap- propriation bill. It was hardly wise economy which prompted the demo- crats to turn down the suggestion of the secretary of the navy that two first class battleships should be pro- vfded for in the bill. Even at such a large outlay as the modern fighting machine costs, it is a cheap means of obtaining peace, and the navy is unquestionably powerful factor in that cause. Fortunately the senate is not of the same mind and favOrs the two warships, which, going to con ference, will doubtless result in one.
 In his naval annual for 1911, Lord Brassey says that "the rise of the United States to first class naval power on the whole tends in the direc ton of peace" The rise of the navy has given it rank of second in the world, but by the end of 1915, if the democratic policy is to be followed out, it will rank fifth and it's prestige would naturally suffer in like manner. Economy is all right when 1t does not operate to lower the efficiency of the navy for to maintain it's position and care for it's extensive coast line and possessions this country needs a strong and consistent naval policy and a proper regard for it.
 The senate is taking the proper course and should insist on it's com- mittee report for two battieships,

TO BE GRACEFUL.

If you want to be graceful don't look at your feet. but hold your head up in the air. Don't shuffie. A little thought fitness and practice in high stepping soon breaks you of this ugly habit Don't bend your back at the waist un- der the impression that you are there by walking erectly. It throws the stomach forward and is almost as lnimical to grace as round shoulders. Finally, don't allow yourself to walk pigeon toed''-that is, with the toes turned in or straight. You can never be graceful in movements while you dn.

NO MERIT IN CONTESTS.

It cannot help be noticeable what a difference exists between the claims of Roosevelt, his managers, and even his friends, on the national republican committed Theft, brigandage, and other harsh terms have been applied 10 the Taft supporters who have car ried out the rules of the republican party and held to the law in the choice of national delegates. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that the national committee has stood by the regularly elected delegates in the con- tests thus far heard, and that tho Roosevelt men in most instances de- c!ared for the Taft delegates There was nothing else they could do in the recognition of right and the observ- snce of party rules. The spectacle, however, of the Colonel and his man aEers is most interesting. With the declaration, concerning the high hand ed methods in the south, by McHarg and Dixon, whose claims of illegality have been spread through the cam paign and used by the Colonel, yet Roosevelt shows his personal memo randum in which only two delegates from Alabama were expected. This shows bad control of the Colonel, and ia e revelation of just how much grounds there were for making any cf the contests.
 Weakness has characterized all the cases thus far. but the entire list is being gone through, and the Taft men are giving every opportunity for a roll call SO that there can be no cry of fraud in the committee. The Roose- veitian hopes are down, their methods have been exposed and indications point to the convention ending foreWSr such a perniciOus fight for personal interests. All the contests bear evil dence of having been made to cause trouble rather than upon merit.

A GOOD IDEA.

Do you ever boil china before using 1t? It is not half so apt to crack or chip after it has been boiled. Here is how to do it:
 Wrap the separate. pieces in soft old cloths, set them carefully in shallow pan, cover with cold water, bring slow ly to a boil. let boil for ten minutes and they are ready for use.
 A very little sliced soap may be put into the water, and the dishes should be rinsed in hot water afterward. Be very particular about the drying and polishing with the old soft cloths which have been kept for that purpose.
