AN ALL-SUMMER SESSION.

The touch of really hot weather
that came with yesterday brought to
a crisis the consideration of the ses-
sion's legislative program in Con-
gress. President Wilson is under
stood to insist upon action on all
three of the antitrust measures, so
called, to which he has given his ap-
proval. Any one of them would in
sure a considerable prolongation of
the session; all three of them can
hardly mean less than sitting
throughout the entire heated term.
1T is a program which. so long as
it must be considered, deserves at
tention as an entirety. There are
relations and interrelations among
these three bills, in their general
bearing on the program of govern

SHREVEPORT RATE CASE.

The Supreme Court decision in the
Shreveport rate case simply means
that no State can so control railroads
and regulate their traffic rates with
in its boundaries as to bring such
results, directly or indirectly, wit
tingly or unwittingly, into conflict
beyond the border with the national
laws and the rulings of the Inter
state Commerce Commission acting
for the Federal Government.
The Times has repeatedly said
that the National Government would
never make an interstate regula-
ton or rate and then suffer any local
authority to make an intrastate
regulation or rate that could nullify
the national act. If such a thing
were tolerated all the States of the
Union-each passing laws and MAX
ing rulings applying only within its
boundaries, but none the less work
ing there to the advantage of cities
and interests within its own geo.
graphical lines as against every,
body and everything without those
geographical lines--could put the
United States Government, with its
legislative and administrative efforts
at interstate commerce control, out
of business.
Fifty-seven varieties of State reg
ulation countervailing a single Fed
eral regulation could produce moth
ing but interstate commerce chaos.
The only rational and effective regu-
lation of any and every rate in or
through State, where interstate
commerce is involved in any degree
whatsoever, either directly or indi-
rectly, must be by one authority set
up and exercised by the central Gov
ernment. A State law or a State
ruling contravening any command of
the National Government to any in
terstate railroad cannot legally ex-
ist. That is exactly what the Su-
preme Court now says-with the
declaration of Mr.. Justice Hughes
that at is essential that interstate
commerce have one master and not
many"-to settle this question for
good and all.

Trunks Nailed to Floor
Kept Players in Town

NEW YORK. June 9. - When the
members Of Al Crahern's Long Island
Stock Company went TO the Sayville
Opera House. where they had played
Saturday night. to get their trunks.
they found the doors nailed with rail-
road spikes. Then every one of the
fifteen trunks were found nailed TO the
floor. Two hours more work for the
carpenters.
AS a result the company was not able
to leave town until evening. Whether
it vas the work of Sayvilie beau who
wished to delay parting with Il sweet
heart in the company OF of vandals is

ARE DREADNOUGHTS
PASSE?

Admiral Sir Percy Scott, of the
ritish navy, in a published letter
nat has caused much comment in
;reat Britain, declares that the
-eadnoughts and the huge cruisers
nat make up the fighting strength
modern navies are out of date.
The development of aeroplanes, diri-
-ibles, and submarines, he thinks,
ave made them impossible. No
avail power can safely put so many
I its eggs in one basket.
Sir Percy declares that the latest
naneuvers of the royal navy have
demonstrated that the fighting mon
ters are not safe from submarines

'roved to his entire satisfaction by

uhmarines operated without any
cooperation from aeroplanes. What,
le demands to know, would. be the
'esult if the minutemen of the air
we're at the same time at work, at
acking from the sky while the sub
marines were making their assault
rom the depths?
This verdict comes from the fore
nest gunner of the present British
'ervice. Oddly enough, another Brit
sh authority finds that Sir Percy
in error in assuming that the
'ubmarines and the aircraft have
'cndered the battleship useless; but
his dissenting authority declares

question between them whether one,

THE WORLDS RAILWAYS

The Prussian department of pub
lie works has just published its re-
port on the worlds railroads, bring
ing its data down to the end of 1912.
1t finds that there are $4,000 miles
of road, which is about 5000 miles
more than the London Times statis-
tician found as of the same date.
Doubtless the difference has TO do
with differences in the definition of a
railroad.
A little more than half the
worlds mileage is in the two Amer
icas, and the United States, with
almost 245,000 miles, has no possible
competitor among the countries.
Germany has only $4,000 miles, yet
it is second among the nations. Re-
nembering, however, that Germany
is only about as big as Texas and
Iowa added together, that country
stands high in the actual density of
railroad lines.
Belgium, which is the most
densely populated country, has more
railroad in proportion to area than
any other country, with over forty
seven miles to every 100 square
miles. Australia, which is the least
densely populated of the highly civ
ilized countries. has the greatest
mileage in proportion to population.
The United States has more railroad
than Europe in proportion to either
mileage or population. Europe has
5.63 miles to every 100 square miles,
while the, United States has 6.92
miles.
The marvelously rapid develop
ment of this country is perhaps bet
ter illustrated in this field of rail-
road construction than in any other.
1t is true that this country needs,
and always will need, more railroad
mileage than Europe will require.
The irregular coastline of Europe
brings the sea, with the cheapest of
all transportation, to the doors OF a
very large proportion Of her teeming
millions, while the solid body of our
territory with vast interiors in which
millions of people live who have
never been within hundreds Of miles
of salt water, neccssitates other
transportation. There is no such
disparity in facilities as would be
by a mere consideration
of mileages.
But on the other hand the fact re=
mains that the United States, a
new and almost unoccupied country
when railroad building began, has
been able to provide itself with these
facilities. They have come out of
the Industrial product of the coun-
try; they could not have come if
there had not been. back of the de-
mand for them. an economic condi-
ton that justified the investment in
them. No country is so far depend
cnt on it's railroads for its general
prosperity. None would suffer such
Paralysis in case of their failure to
develop and improve in step with the
of the community.
None, therefore, has such pressing |
need to look to the wisdom of poll
cies which stand for the public at
titude toward these facilities.
