Granting an increase in intrasta'e
railroad rates In Michigan, the rail-
road commission of that State has
lust pointed out that laws requiring
the purchase of steel cars by rail-
roads increased wages, taxation anu
general operating expenses make II
absolutely imperative that the raj
roads should have more revenue.
The case which has just been de-
cided by the Michigan railroad COM
mission is the most recent demon
stration of the attitude of such bodies
with regard to intrastate rates and
is an encouraging sign OF the more
liberal attitude adopted by the State-
toward the railroads. AS illustratina
public feeling in the matter, the com
mission. in its decision, remarks:
Among those present at the
several hearings held and tfe
average citizens met In any oi
the ordinary walks Of life, from
the day laborer 10 the financier,
there seems TO have been a gen
eral feeling at this time that the
railroads needed and should be
permitted TO have an increase IN
their freight rates Therefore,
as regards public opinion, II has
not in any way been an cmbar-
rassment TO the commission, and
Il was therefore able to ap-
proach the subject with but two
controlling thoughts in mind
first. to establish such basis OF
rates as would serve all classes
and all localities equitably ana
Justly. and, second. to insure TO
the carriers such additional rev
enue as the conditions Justified.

The Presidents Message
CFrom the Baltimore Americanl

them To rest content beneath arboreal
shades of rhetoric and epigram.
The admissions Of the President
are worth more than his argument.
He admits that the bulwark of the
nation is a powerful navy. That IS
lust the case, and the American peo-
ple want il to be sufficient to perform
its bulwark service. The United
States has a fine Navy, so far as 1t
goes. But it must not be disorganiz-
ed through slack discipline, due to
turning the ships into academies, with
the men mixing eXUuse of studies
and lectures when their officers need
them to perform the roltine OF ship
duty. The Savy needs important
strengthening in many directions
good as it is.
The President sees no harm in
some diversion by the youth of the
land in shooting and in marching ex-
ercises and he takes the position Oi

An Empty Report
(From the Philadelphia Press)

The putting out of such a report
will serve but to hamper the rela-
tions between the. man who labors
and the man who employs. It brings.
10 the light and to life again all the
old grievances and all the old trou-
'bles. Many of these had passed out
of memory ara had been forgotten
with a consequent good feeling on
each side Now the skeletons are
dragged out of the closet and eXhi-
bited TO the public as something
grand and wonderful in the way ol
discovery. There has been nothing
gained by this action, but there has
been something lost from the peace
of the industrial communities.
What the people of the country de-
sire is not an exploiting OF the PROB
lens of capital and labor, but solu-
tion for them. What IS needed Is

Most persons will pass over the

intended to confer a large measure
of independence upon the islanders.
