make our task very much less difficult
and embarrassing than it would have
been had we been obliged to continue
to act amidst the atmosphere or sus-

long made it impossible to approach
such questions with dispassionate

and of mature public opinion which
finally springs out of that experience.

THE opinion of the country would

or in any sort to assume control of

itself responsible. It demands such a
commission only as an indispensable
instrument of information and pub
licity, as a clearing house for the facts
from which both the public mind and
the managers of great business under

instrumentality for doing justice to
