Candy In greater or less quantities IL

listed men II they choose to buy the
particular kind on hand. but as the pur-
chase is entirely optional with Jack, the
Navy Department does not enter into
contract for any stated amount beyond
actual needs.

The Regulation OF the Executive,

We venture to predict that the next
really great step in governmental regu-
lation will be the regulation OF the Ex-
ecutive. We believe il IL almost In

now remains. Unless the restoration
Of the constitutional npportlonment OF
powers among the three departments
Of the Government is undertaken soon
by heroic and patriotic spirits. both
the Legislature and the judiciary are
doomed to atrophy.
Federal regulation of the Federal
Executive is the next great reform de.
manded by the public welfare and for
the perpetuity OF our republican insti-
tutions. 1t Is as true to-day as II was
when Mr.. Justice STORY made the OBJ
servation. more than eighty years ago.
that the legislative, executive and ju.
dicial departments ought to be sep
arate, and the powers of one ought not
TO he exercised by either Of the others
and that when all three powers are
united in the same hands there Is a
real despotism. to the extent Of their
coercive exercise.
History has shown over and over
again how the unchecked extension of
executive power brings ruin upon the
State. There Is for Americans no
higher enterprise Of public service than
the bringing back Of the Executive TO
constitutional bounds.

Yale's fast time In a practice row AT
New London, 10 minutes 80 seconds for

the confidence OF Coach WAY in his
charges, although he has not confessed
az much. Perhaps WRAy has not been

him In the university boat are not aus
pcious. Only n day or two ago CHAN
LER was reinstated at stroke which was
late move considering that the uni
versity race Is to be rowed on June l9.
Physically the Harvard crew does not
look formidable, the men not being so
big and well muscled as some OF
WRAPS winning crews. There has
been one fault in their stroke hard to
cure. a tendency to hang ut the catch.
For time CHASLER was the worst
offender, and he was taken out OF the

heartens the crew. which by the way
contains only three ~ last years win

tice may be a help to WRAY. for his

considered q very open one, and II
would not be surprising to see Yale

Federal Mastery of the Railroads

A seven to two decision by the United
States Supreme Court Is sufficiently
near unanlmlty to establish definitely
the law Of the land as declared in the
so-called Shreveport or Louisiana Texas
rate case. BY the decision in this ase
IL Is made clear that SO far az regards
the railroad system Of the country the
common carriers are wholly under the
regulating control Of the Federal Gov
eminent.
There may be points OF refinement
to be elaborated in later judicial de-
examinations, but the general relations
Of the railroads to Government control
have now been plainly outlined.
The exclusive ascendency OF Congress
has been announced by the highest ju.
dicial authority, and there can hence.
forth be no important clash OF Federal
and State Jurisdictions 30 far as the
railroads are concerned. The follow
ing language from the Supreme Courts
opinion written by Mr.. Justice HUGHES
IN the Shreveport case leaves no de-
batable area;
This Is not TO say that Congress pos
sesses the authority to regulate the inter-
nal commerce OF State rs such. but that
1t does possess the power to foster and
protect interstate commerce and to take
all measures necessary or appropriate 10
that end. although intrastate transactions
OF interstate carriers would thereby be
controlled"

suits, It Is enough to say that in the
Minnesota cases the court asserted the
power of Congress AZ now expOundcd.
although some matters seemed TO be
litigation It was hot found that Con-
-ess had chosen to Use It's power.
The point raised in the Minnesota

upon. All controversial fogs IRE now
blown away by the decision In the
