duced by Representative William
limbaugh Of illinois.
This resolution wal referred to the
Committee on Interstate Commerce OF
the House. which, in turn, referred II
to the Interstate Commerce Commits

The commission has taken the DO.

Ion stand is to accompany 1t with q
complete report Of all the facts con.

The commission Is prepared for
such a report. Its records are full

By the decision the public will not
rave to wait for the somewhat slow
process Of congressional action.
1t Is possible that the report made
by the commission will be held up IN
the committee, but as soon as It ID

committee a demand for 1t to be made
public probably will be made.

THREATENED BREAK
IN WILSON'S CABINET
Attorney General MCR9ylO.dS
on Verge Of RssigniOg

The first sign of the expected fric-
Sion in President Wilson's cabinet has
made its appearance, and as a result
Washington confidently awaits the
news that a member of the presidents
official family is preparing to resign.
Attorney General James c. Mercy
nolds is the man who, rumor says, is
getting ready to quit the cabinet be-
cause Of troubles with his chief.
The friction between the president
and the attorney general dates back
almost to the Inauguration. The presi-
dent considers that the work of the
department of justice should be kept
entirely secret. "Pitiless publicity" 3"
according to the president, is intended
to apply to the operations of all the
governmental branches except the de-
partments of stale and justice-the
former because international politics
Is not thought to be fit matter for ex-
plOitatiOn in the public prints; the
latter because of the danger of warn
ting those about to be prosecuted that
the governments agents are on their
trail
The attorney general had other ideas
which be did not hesitate to express
to his chief, who as unhesitatingly dis
agreed. Nevertheless there were
number of leaks" in the department
of justice.
The details of the proposed prosecu-
ton of the tobacco trust and a num-
Der Of other legal steps, which the gov
ernment intended to take against the
violators of the Sherman antitrust
law. found their way into the newspa-
pers.
President Wilson objected. The at
torney general replied that he was
running his department and intimated
that should the president find fault
with the manner in which the trust
prosecutions are being conducted that
ne would step down and let some one
else handle the cases.

LISzT SMOKED CIGAR DAILY
But Great Musician Insisted on HaV-
Ing a Good One, Until His Day
Of Misfortune.

hIszt was in the habit OF smoking
one cigar a day. But that one cigar
was an exceedingly choice one. When
he was starting on a journey he told
his valet how many days he would be
away and his valet put into the valise
q corresponding number of those Vir-
ginia cigars.
Once when Llszt was going to Italy
the chief customs officer at the from
tier post Of ChiassO asked him If he
had anything to declare. The musi-
cian,. with his thoughts centered on
his music rather than his cigars, made
signs to the effect that he had moth
ing. The officer opened the valise
without the traveller agitating himself
over. the search. Presently a number
OF Virginia cigars were brought to
light. The whole lot was confscated
and he was ordered to pay a fine OF
500.
When List reached Milan he told
his agent of his unpleasant adventure.
Ritcordi laughed at the whole affair
took stroll to the Italian treasury
and recovered the cigars and the fine.
On returning to the artist he offered
him with a smile one of his own pre-
cious Virginias.

HAVE CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE
Present Generation Is Optimistic az
to the ooinas Of Those Who
Arc 70 Follow.

II these is any one thing which more
than another distinguishes this gener,
alton from all those generations OF
which we have record il is that the
people OF this day are vastly more
interested in the future OF mankind
than they are in the past. And they
are excessively optimistic about IT,
Where once a lot of fuss was made
about the achievements and the high
character OF the ancients the talk
now is of the wonderful folk still un.
born and of the marvels 1t is taken
for granted they will perform. There
Is less tendency on the part OF mature
persons to presume that their great
grandchildren will be without sense
and a greater tendency to avoid tying
the future up with constitutional re-
strictions. statutory custom and lega.
cies of responsibility.
An admirable illustration OF this
state OF mind Is indicated by the
words of the New York clergyman
who informed his congregation the
other day that human existence 80 far
has been the might Of life" and that
dawn was just breaking for the real
morning Of humanity's kingdom" The
gentleman may be wrong or he may
be right There is no scientific in.
strument so far devised which will
foreteIl the days to come. But such
talk. we believe. is Of incalculable
value. It helps a great deal In the
work Of throwing on such traditions
and habits as bind US rather than aid
