EVERYBODY Is SATISFIED.

So the house OF Morgan will cease TO
be the great interloclzing directorate.
The public of this country is so ad-
. vised. The step is taken. as stated by
Morgan. in Difference to a changing
public sentiment. which sentiment is
largely Influenced and encouraged by
President Wilson's attitude. The Nor
gan people viii give more attention to
banking and less to the directorates
OF great financial corporations.
Naturally the public is more than or
dinarily interested in some Of the de-
velopments in connection with this
announced withdrawal OF the Morgan
house. And first there is something in
the short statement made by J. p.
Morgan. He tells OF directorships
having been accepted with reluctance;
they were accepted only because We
felt constrained TO keep in touch with
properties which We had recognized. 8"
Following that in the press reports
was the attendant story that the Nor
gan Withdrawal had no effect on prices
On the New York stock exchange. Evil
IDENTIFY brokers considered that the big
properties would do as well without
Morgan directors. Stocks of corpora

house of Morgan did not vary in
prices the stock ticker tape told.
The country likely will have the
same feeling that Wall street held
namely. that the passing of the Nor
gan house from the directories will at
least be no injury TO the properties.
Perhaps the country would not have
so promptly taken on this view two
years ago. But In the meantime Il has
had the story or the New Haven rail-
road: and that certainly has not been
a commentator for Morgan and Bak-
er management
OF course this action Of the Morgan
house. 20 be followed at once by sim
liar action OF other banking houses, is
mentioned as a triumph for the admin
istration az Washington.
Yes. IL Is all that: and yet there IS
more TO the story. II is a triumph for
what Morgan calls changing public
sentiment"
In all this matter the administration
has been strong because or the back
Ing II has had from public sentiment.
Perhaps there is no one who has
livelier appreciation of this fact than
President Wilson
AS the president puts the story.
The news is very interesting"

There is one court in this land that
was recalled with the first OF the year
as superhuous and a hindrance rather
than an aid to fair and judicious legis
lation. The commerce court. designed

merce comm ission that were not agree
able 10 the interests. Is really out OF
commission. Under the democratic
I idea OF government II Was not neces-
sary or even desirable. The records
are closed and the justices have gone
on to some other occupation 10 earn
a living. The court is really wound
up and its work is put away in the
archives.
Courts do not die easily. however:
this one threatened TO have as many
announced three or four different
times. but the court managed some
how TO crawl from under. The attacks
were kept up. and at last the court had
10 give in and surrender. Congress
absolutely stopped the pay. and even a
court is not able TO survive a calamity
OF that kind.
Right at the start this court made
decisions that were unpopular, and
the public wasn't slow in expressing
its dissent. Cases were taken TO the
supreme court, which promptly pro
ceeded to turn down the commerce
court. The interstate commerce COM
mission had TO go to the supreme court
in order 10 get needed protection
against misguided efforts Of the COM
merce court
And then II was suggested in con-
gress that the country could get along
without the commerce court. It was
mentioned that the people had gotten
along without II for more than cen
tury. and our plight then was not half
so serious as after the coming OF this
new court President Taft made
stand for the court, hoping and promis-
ing that IL must after a while get
started in step and be useful. This Sc
cured n reprieve for the court. but II
was nothing more. Now f. is out of

before a similar body will be called !
