The commerce court has got to go.
If several other commissions could ac-

As J. P. Morgan is on his way to

It would be a very sensible thing if

The report that the federal govern
ment is to give Messrs. MeIlen, Cham
berlain and S1nithers an early trial is
news which will be well received by
all who believe that it is unfair to
keep these men under a cloud of sus-
picion longer than is absolutely nee
eSsary to fairly prepare their cases

a good many people think it is, the
speedy advertisement of its absurdity
will be beneficial to everybod y-with
the possible exception of a few maya
zine writers.-Hartford Times.
