Regulating Local Utilities.

Certain orders recently issued by the in
terstate commerce commission, on the
recommendation of the District railway
commission, affecting the ventilation ana
operation of cars on the local lines, call
attention to the necessity of a more eff
fective method of regulating the local
public utilities. While it is possible that
these orders may result in the changes
outlined, il is nevertheless true that the
present mode of supervising the actiV
tiles of the local transportation COM
paneS is uncertain and unsatisfactory.
Ii has been with the greatest difficulty
that action has been had in matters call
ing for correction and improvement. In
some cases the street railway companies
have virtually ignored the requirements
of the commission. They give to the
electric railway commission only a toler-
ant regard that is not equivalent to a
recognition of authority, and the result
is that this body serves merely as an
advisory committee of the interstate COM
merce commission. Thus the ordering
authority has of it's own knowledge no
understanding of the conditions which it
is charged with regulating.
During the weeks that remain of the
present session of Congress some action
should surely be had upon the bill to
create public utilities commission,
which has been passed by the Senate
and remains on the calendar of the Dis
trict committee awaiting final con-
sideration. Had this bill been enacted
into law last winter. when there was
ample opportunity. there would now be
no difficulty regarding the proposed COM
bination of utilities companies. which is
the subject of court procedure and, it is
row reported, is to be inquired into by
a subcommittee of the Senate District
| committee.

The Kitchen Cabinet.

We are all forgetting that President
has two cabinets. There is the cabinet
proper. composed Of men who hold form
al commissions and are assigned to
specifc duties. and there is the cabinet,
not necessarily improper. composed of
men who hold no relations to the Presi-
dent but those of a cronyish character.
The latter body is irreverently called the
kitchen cabinet.
Now suppose We let Mr.. Wilson go his
own gait about the cabinet proper. He
objects TO inquiries on the subject. The
pubhcs curiosity Is getting on his nerves.
He promises the names at the proper
time-his own time. Very we'll. Let the
guessing continue. but without referring
any of the guesses to him for confirma-
ton.

The Eckart Family Trio played an en- tirely new line of selections, all of them bespcaking talent on the part of the performers which so many acts of this nature seem to lack.
