THE NEW COMMISSIONERS.

If, now that the Senate has confirmed the nom-
nation of Oliver P Newman as Commissioner the
opponents of that confirmation would drop the fight
and abandon their announced intention carry it into
the courts they would well demonstrate their sim
cerity and devotion to the public interest
Most of the peope-not all of them, however,
who have been enlisted against Mr. Newman want
the very kind of administration that the Newman
and Siddons appointments foreshadow. 1t would be
most unfortunate if exasperated opposition should
60 to extremes which might hamper the usefulness
and embarrass the activities of the commission.
President Wilson has in mind that a very great
deal needs to be done and be DONE for this CITY,
The people know full we'll that there is urgent need
that it be done. The right kind of men have been
selected to do it. Then may it not be hoped that
these men will be given the best and fullest chance
to make good? ..-
The new commission, there is good reason to be-
eve, enters upon its duties with definite and crys
tallzed purpose of doing specific and practical things
for the city. The three members are all veterans
in the SERVICE for Colonel Harding has served the
District before, and Messrs. Newman and Siddons
have given extensse and intelligent study to the prob
lens here presented Just what that especial equip
ment means is suggested by sentence which may
be quoted from letter recently received from Col.
w lIldI " JuoSOu ny ooilhSeoh hiSho. ni'Si
four years service as Commissioner Colonel Judson,
keenly alive to the problems of Washington, says:
81 never thought that two such good men, abso-
lutey adapted to the Districts service at this i'm
portant-vitally important moment could be found
qualified under the law and willing to make the sacri-
fce"
Colonel Judson knows whereof he speaks, both
as to the men under discussion and the work that is
before them Incidentally the quotation is from a
letter that was not intended for the eyes of either Of
the new Commissioners
The public utilities law has just taken effect, and
it is of most vital importance that it be construed ad
ninstered, and developed with the broadest consider
alton for the public interest. That is what it was
passed for 1t is easily capable of being made into
model statute of its kind; but everything depends
on the manner of its administration. Colonel Judson
knows what this means, and knows that the two Com
missoners are men whose administration will be
such as to meet his own approval Washington knows
about how the vigorous Judson would have handled
that law, in the making of which he had so large
part.
The Washington times., 1913-07-16
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.


1t does not lessen the plausibiy of Colonel Mul.
halls remarkable story Bit to read that an agent OF
certain manufacturers in Ohio has just confessed to
the attorney general of that State that he has been
paid by an association of Ohio manufacturers to
forge some 10000 names to referendum petition
which would place in jeopardy the workmen's COM
pensaton law recently passed by the Ohio legislature.
The corruption of the functions of popular gov
eminent by men of wealth, high social and financial
standing is greater menace to legitimate business
than all the Haywoods and Ettors multiplied BY ,o00
because it is done by men who should set example
in decent citizenship and is done in such an nsdious
manner as to deceive the public. s.-r ..s
If such corruption by men IN high places were
not known or believed to be done the Haywoods and
Ettors would have no followers If it is continued
the Haywoods and Ettors may some day be in the
ascendency

Learn One Thing
Every Day
2l.-ELECTRIc LIGHT.

POOR boy. born at Penzance.
~ England. in 177S. was appren-
~ ticed to little country chem
ist. He was naturally clever
and by hard study soon became the
most famous scientist of his day. Be-
fore his death he was knighted. His
name was Humphry Davy
He was the first to experiment with
electricity as means OF lighting. He
had large electric battery. Fastening
two wires to II. he found that II he put
the ends together nothing happened, but
II he drew them a tiny bit apart a
light appeared between them. This was
the electric current jumping from one
wire to the othef.
But the current was 50 hot II melted
the wires. so he fastened pieces Of
charcoal on the end of each wire and
in that way made a splendid light
1t was discovered In later experiments
that air resisted the passage of electric
current So . means had to be found
whereby electricity could pass through
space where there was no air. This
led to the small glow lamp, or bulb.
that We use In our houses now. This
bulb is vacuum.
In this bulb filament, that has been
treated in several processes. carries the
current through the vacuum The small
point Of glass at the bottom of the bulb
is where 1t has been sealed, by melting
after the filament has been arranged
and the air all sucked out Of the space.

MULHALL AND M'MANICAL.

Ortie McManigal may have been all the varieties
of scoundrel that the structural iron workers or
ganizaton in particular and organized labor in gen.
eral said he was.
But Orte McManigal told the truth in his confes-
sions, and upon his evidence of the most noted
labor leaders in the United States and nearly all Of
the officials of the structural iron workers union were
sentenced to prison.
And il is very significant that the National Asso.
citation of Manufacturers officials were the most ZEAL

So, too Colonel" Mulhall may be all the various
kinds Of scoundrel that the officials of the National
Association of Manufacturers proclaim him to be- Be
il far from any outsider to make such assertion; but
granting that he is the fact if true does militats
against the truth of his confessions, which, backed
by overwhelming documentary and circur,stantial ev
dence constitute darning indictment of certain
members and officials of the NJ A. M as McManigals
confessions did of the officials of the structural iron
workers union.

OPEN COMMITTEE MEETINGS.

y The House Committee on District of Columbia
sets good example by adopting rule that hereafter
its sessions, unless otherwise specifically ordered by
majority vote, shall all be open to the public
As Washington has no particular part in govern
ing ITSELF il seems particularly fitting that it should
at least the wheels 60 round, in the organization
that hands down its government to it. Making laws
behind closed doors is less defensible than try
ing lawsuits in that manner. The demand for day
light legislative processes is become general and
insistent that it will not much longer be resisted
What is good for the District would be equally
good for the country; there should be no such
anomaly executive session of a committee
framing legislation unless under extraordinary cir
cumstances Foreign relations may at trles involve
delicate situations making executive sessions desir-
able; certainly not general legislation, the making Of
the national budget and the like. Plenty Of sunlight
and fresh air are quite as desirable for the body
polite as for the body corporeal.

CHURCH UNION in CANADA.

The Presbyterian General Assembly for Canada
has adopted by three-to-one vote, the proposition
for organic union" "a merger in effect - of the
Presbyterian Congregational, and Methodist churches
of Canada More than this, the Anglican church in
Canada has organized Church Unity League,
which extends recognition to the non-Episcopal de-
nominations.
The three churches have very different organlza-
tons the Methodsts retaining modified episcopacy,
the egatonalists standing for independence and
autonomy of the congregation, and the Presbyterians
having government by elders presbyers. Never
teless the necessities of the situation have forced
them to devise basis for union.
Problems incident to the rapid growth of western
Canada have contributed largely to bring about the
union. Canada is learning from the experience of
our own great West, which in the years of its rapid
DEVELOPMENT sustained churches Of all the denomna-
tons, despite that to do imposed heavy burden
and at the same time deracted much from their ef-
Rciency. Kansas has been working for rural church
consolidation, with considerable results, for two or
three wears. Canada is graphing with the problem
in most effective way. The Congregational general
council was unanimous for the union; the Methodsts
were prompt and overwhelming in Endorsement OF
the project The Presbyterians came last, but gave
hearty Endorsement The last obstacle to the union
is now removed.

THAT. WATERMELON ORDER.

Colonel Haskell, Superintendent of Weights and
Measures, is to be congratulated on the promptness
with which he abandoned the indefensble regulation
That watermelons and cantaloupes might not be sold
at tfe>Siy wharf in lots Of less than twenty-five.
The order was made last week, and The Times
promptly pointed9aut that it was merely calculated
to deprive people OF the privilege of buying where
necessariss were cheapess> and to compel payment
of profits to an unnecessary number of handlers of
goods. The result that the order was rescinded
The willingness, here indicated, to yield to rea-
sonable criticism instead of bristling up and fighting
for bad rule, is commended to some other people
who don't display the same sweet reasonableness.
Especially, Colonel Haskell could show the taxicab
people something worth knowing about how 10 get
the public their side, and the street railways might
learn something to their advantage about the uni
versal transfer issue. The colonel might perform a
public service by opening night school for the

PUBLIC OPINION THE FINAL RESORT.

According to the Newlands-C Clayton bill, provid-
ing arbitration for railroad disputes, the Federal
courts will enforce the DEGREES of arbitration boards
reached under the law. In the of the railroads,
the courts can exercise Federal authority in the
same manner as the provisions of the interstate CON-
merce law are now enforced. But as to the en-
ployes, the problem is not so easy.
,. In inserting clause in the new draft of the
bill providing that no court shall order man to
work against his will, the conferees at Washington
were covering ground which they believed was al
ready covered by the Constitution. Therefore, if
employees, dissatisfied with the judgment of arbitra-
TORS decide not to work-that is, to strike-the Gov
ernment would have recourse, apparently beyond
the protection of men who might accept employment
in their places and guarding the movement of trains
and other departments of railroad operation from in
reference.
But force greater than any which can be writ
ten into law would be behind the Government in
q difficulty of that kind 1t is the force of public
opinion, which would back the nstrumentalities of
Government, and either party to the clash would be
bold indeed to affront it deliberately
