THE BETTER CONSTRUCTION.

Judge Thompson Of the Philadel-
phia federal court has held with
Judge Van Fleet in the Diggs-Cam-
inetti case that the Mann white slave
act applies to escapades as we'll as
TO interstate transportation for com
mercial purposes. The case on trial
was one in which a man had taken
a girl to Buffalo for immoral pur-
poses.
Thus far there have been two in
terpretations of the law in favor of
the broader application and one. by
a Kansas City judge in favor of a
limited construction. The former will
be regarded by the public as prefer
able since it offers greater security
against the social evil. which in it's
various phases is at the bottom of
the white slave trade
The important thing to society is
not so much whether money is made
out of traffic in morals as that
immoral practices shall be abolished.
one of these is that which has come
capades. These escapades are i'm
morality made easy.
If the laws can be used for pre-
venting this form of vice why should
ii not be utilized. regardless. of what
the original scope and intention of
the act may have been? One of the
greatest dangers girls with n way
ward tendency are exposed to is the
temptation TO take a trip and have
good time with the possibility of
exposure remote.

RAILROAD SPECIALIZATION.

Peaceable acquiescence in the will
OF government that all combinations

pose OF controlling and manipulating
the price Of the necessaries of life is
seen in the announcement that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co will dis
pose OF its coal interests.
The VIII Of the government is ex-
pressed IN the law which fOrbids rail-
road companies from transporting
articles or commodities mined or
manufactured by them or under their
authority It's purpose is TO break
up producing and shipping trusts
formed by a number of railroads
which operate To tife competition and
increase the cost to the consumer.
In this particular the Pennsylva-
MIA is a comparatively small but i'm
portant offender. 1t controls about
ten per cent OF the anthracite coal
product of the country. It's shipments
for the seven months ending July 81
were 3,607,O18 OF the total Of 40.3S9.-
706 tons OF anthracite shipped by
all the companies. None of this ten
per cent was shipped to seaboard
points. which means that the middle

A bill before congress proposes to
restrict the number of freight cars on
any one train 10 fifty Is this bill in
furtherance Of public interest?
The number Of freight cars leav-
ing the yards at Elkhart is frequently
as high as 900 in one day. How will
the public interest be subserved in
requiring that twice as many engines
and twice as many train crews be en-
pioyed in transmitting this business &?
II is not only twice as many engines
and twice as many train crews. but il
is twice the expense for every move
ment OF freigf. and twice the danger
of life all along the line. How can
public sentiment be in favor OF any
such legislation2
The density of population in New
England has made the running OF
trains with great frequency necessary.
To this was added more or less care
less management in failure TO provide
the most modern equipment in the

TEsTATORs AND CHARITY.

Many men and women make wills.
Occasionally the will disposes Of a
large amount OF property, generally
II does not. The amount OF property
disposed OF by the average will Is
comparatively small.
Owing to the great prominence Civ
en- 10 large requests the impression is
more or less prevalent that only the
rich man makes a will and that it is
only the rich man who can afford to
give money 10 charity. IL this atti-
tude OF the average will-maker could
be changed. the help 70 our charitable
organizations would be incalculable.
