IT'S TRUE MISSION.

VAT Il take 1t that will deny that Public
w Utilities Commission, to be of any value to
investing travelling and consuming public must be
possessed of ample regulative and corrective power.
without those attributes Of official potency 1t
counterfeit Of the real thing and has little for
existence
Those facts should be horne i'm mind by the Legis-
lature when passing upon bills that have to do with the
public control and regulation Of public service
tious An mpotcnt commission is worse than none. 1t
clogs the path of effective progress a time in which
many Of the greatest Of Americas captains Of industry
admit that such corporations should be under public
regulation and control
A Public Utilities Commission that cannot compel
public service corporation grant the reasonable de-
mands of the public, is of absolutely good to the
public. What the people want results that will
meet and satisfy their well-foupded complaints Those
results cannot be obtained by commission that
lists by virtue of law that is weak that the public
service corporations hold q in contempt To do offec-
tive work for the public commission must have
back OF it law that is fair and honest in its terms
and clear in its meaning that it will command the
and obedience Of both the corporations the
public
Too many persons entertain the opinion that It is
the real mission of Public Utility Commission to per-
secue and harass public service corporations Moth
ing is farther from the truth The legitimate mission
OF such a commission is to keep the scales OF justice
hanging evenly between public corporations
and the public and not to be spurred to hasty and
unfair action by public clamor corporate impor-
unity The interests OF the public service corporation
are interviewer closely with the public interests and
the interests OF the public nterwoyen closely with
those OF the public service corporations With those
respective interests stripped the hufi, there no
conflict Il is only when corporate public seisn-
ness and unfairness brought into play that tho
conflict OF interest arises to plague the community
The true Public Utility Commission exists, with potent
power protect the against the other and to deal
out evenhanded Justice regardless of whether be
favor Of the corporation the public
Public Utility Commission properly fortified
by law. operating in city. would be bless
ing to both the public and public utility corpora.

Chief Justice Whitshouse.

At the banquet at the Augusta
House. Wednesday evening, Chief JUS
tice Whitehouse said in part:
1t has been we'll said that there
is no factor SO constant in human
affairs as human nature itself, and in
its essential attributes it is the same,
] today, as it was among the builders
of the Pyramids" The object OF 4
written constitution is the basis OF
government, and the purpose of laws
and policies framed in pursuing OF
it, is to restrain the selfishness OF
human nature, vindicate right, redress
wrong and hold men up to higher
sense of responsibility and duty to
their fellow men.
These laws and policies must OF
course change, and are continually
changing to meet the new develop
ments in industrial and social life,
but the fundamental principles and
systems can only be safely and wise
| ly changed after careful and deliber-
ate study and consideration. Neither
| theories and systems of government,
nor laws enacted in pursuance of
them, can change the essential attri-
butes of human nature They can
not equalize the natural capacity or
efficiency of men in the struggles or
| life, but may give all equal opportun-
| ity and equal justice.
But if there is one instructive les
son which illumines the pages of his
tory it is that representative consti-
tutional government, consisting of
three departments, entirely separate
and yet coordinate, is coincident with
civil liberty and incomparably supe-
rior to any other form of government
ever devised, not only in stability,
| but in it's efficiency to establish peace
and justice and promote the general
welfare and happiness Of the people
And never in the history of the
American Bar has a greater respon-
sibility been imposed upon the legal
profession than in the present politi-
cal and social evolution when a wave
of popular discomfort would seem to
be rolling over the country. The con-
sentative forces which spring from
their trained minds and balanced
judgments must be employed to coun-
teract the active aggressions of sell
fish interests and special privileges

Whitehouse on Divorce.
In discussing the divorce question
Mr.. Whitehouse considered the leading
measures advocated for lessening OF
the practice, questioned whether it was
2 manifestation of the latter day best
regulation of society or a symptom OF
degeneracy and offered the following
recommendations for action by his col
leagues:
1.-The passage of careful and uni
form marriage laws Throughout all
states requiring licenses, and deciara-
tons of intentions and prohibiting
marriages before certain age and
when either party is physically defec-
tive.
2.-That provision be made for pre-
lirninary hearing in every case for the
purpose of effecting reconciliation.
3.-fhat absolute divorce with the
right to ee-marry be allowed. when
