NEED EARLY DECISION

From action which has been taken by the interstate commerce commits
 sion al the hearing upon the rate ques- ton there is good ground for believing that it has realized the importance of a decision at the earliest moment which good judgment will permit. This has been the contention of the roads and in view of the time which the mat ter has been before the commission it does not, seem unreasonable. It is only right that there should be some declar- ation soon one way or the other It is a question in which it cannot be claim ed that haste has been made.
 It was last May that application was made to the commission by the rail- roads seeking permission to increase their rates. It was several months before anything was done in the way of hearings and they have gone on with little or no prospect of reaching an early end until it put aside col lateral issues and extraneous ques- tions that it might bring to head quicker the main point in question. AS the result what was thought inn possible for the next three months may be reached within the next thir ty days. and it promises to be of great value in clearing up much of the un- certainty which now exists. Under the present conditions it is known just about how far curtailment must go. Retrenchments have been made be- cause of the necessity of taking care of their own business interests and the inability to determine what the future has in store. Thus does the importance of the appeal for as early decision as possible make itself felt. The need of clearing up the unsettled situation ought not to be overlooked.

BULLETINS SPECIAL YALE LETTER
Question of Adopting Honor System Academic Department in Examinations Before Students-Debates Suffrage Topic-Banquet of Literary Society-Coaches Favor Four Mile Rowing Race.

the prospect of a good season is cer- tainly much brighter than during the winter training. J B. Thomas, cap tain in 1903. was one of those who spoke and recalled his day when 210 men came out in the spring with the result that Yale beat Princeton by so points, won from Harvard by a large margin, and finally with 56 men en- tered, won the intercollegiates.
 The question of substituting a three mile crew race for the four mile pull has been discussed by the News again this week and the opinions of Yale's new coaches are in favor of the longer race. Coach Giannini does. not see why three mile race would be any less of strain on crew than a four mile contest. He says the distance a crew rows has less effect on them than the number of strokes per min ute they row; the shorter a race, the higher number of strokes per minute are necessary. In a four mile race the average rate of stroking for the Hull distance is never over thirty -one per minute which is considerably low CT than would be necessary in a. short CT race. Mir. Giannini thinks that any boy over 19 years of age who has gone through the preliminary exercises can sit in a boat and row almost with the stroke at twenty-six or twenty seven per minute on the first day in
 
 ticany out of condition, he has been able to take his seat in a shell and row at twenty for two or three miles at a stretch without being much dis tressed. When the stroke was raised to S2 or 33. he could not go much over half a mile. This proves to him that it is the number of strokes per minute and not the distance which kills a crew.
 Coach Guy Nickalls also thinks that a short race does man more harm than a long race. The fast stroke Is a great wear and tear on the heart and lungs and speaking for England be says that the one and one-sixth mile race at Henley is found more trying than the four and one-quarter mile race at Putney
 James Rice of Columbia and Court ney of Columbia, favor the shorter race. the latter on the ground that the average student cant give the time for the necessary preparation. Rice. too. thinks men can't get the necessary strength for the long race in the time they have. Ten E2yck of Syracuse fla vors the four mile for sound men and Dr. Spaeth does not object to the length of the race so much as the length of the training made necessary.
 Almost all the coaches favor a junior eight for the present four -oared race.

NEED 10 BOOST SUPPLY.

It is nothing very encouraging which is predicted by MT. Armour concern ing the economic conditions of the fu- fIre along general lines. and no more so is il in relation to the supply and price of meat on which he can be ex- pected to speak with authority. There is nothing new, however, in the state ment which he makes when he asserts s that there will be no lower prices in that line of business until there are more cattle in the country. This is in accordance with what many others have said in the not distant past It is a view which is founded upon the law of supply and demand. Until there are enough cattle available for market to meet the constantly increas- ing requirements for fresh, meat the prices for that commodity are likely to remain about where they are.
 Cattle raising has undergone a de- cline. It has not kept abreast of the times despite the fact that the popu- lation has been multiplying. This has been looked upon as an excuse of the packers when it was desired to add a few cents a pound. but the cold hard facts are fully set forth in govern ment statistics however much control : the packers may have of the wholesale business.
 The greatest aid to the lowering of the prices on beef is most likely to result from an awakening of interest in the cattle raising business and thereby the provision of plenty of beef to meet the demands of the meat eat ing public. When such operations bring the supply up to a level with the demand and show preparation for the future good reason will exist for an ticipating cheaper meat.

 Over Night.

 It is only natural that the simplest of ailments should be the most genera l. and so we have a whole nation suf- fering from constipation and indiges- tion. for they are closely allied. But common as constipation is many peo- pie do not seem to know they have it. They will complain of headache, drow- Siness or biliousness all unconscious of the cause of the trouble.
 You should have a full and free movement at least once a day If you pass a day you are constipated and the result will be that you will catch a cold easily or have a more serious ailment. To cure the constipation and forestall still graver trouble take a dose of Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pep sin at night before retiring and by morning relief will come, without dis turbance from sleep or any incon- Venience.

Professor Irving Fisher said on Wednesday night that he had always been interested in the honor system Of conducting examinations. had tried it with encouraging success in his class es, and had found all arguments against it shallow and intangible. He made the point that Yale wants to sup ply public service with educated hon orable men. We want to establish an Honor system in business; we need a higher system of commercial ethics. Prof. Emery said that the best way to stop cheating is to create d sentiment against it, adopt the Honor system.
 In the voting tomorrow, the college is expected to follow the example of the Scientific School of Princeton, Johns Hopkins and other universities and adopt the Honor system.
