COMMERCE BOARD
HAS BIG POWERS
Supreme Court Decision Says Author
ty to Investigate the Railroads
Is Unlimited.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 6-The supreme
court held Yesterday that the interstate
commerce commission has practically I'M
limited powers TO investigate the activi-
ties and expenditures OF railroads.
The decision was rendered in the case
OF President Milton H. Smith and other
officials OF the Louisville and Nashville
railroad who contested the commissions
authority TO require them TO answer
questions regarding that company's po-
litical activities and contributions. The
court decided that a carrier has the right
TO mould or enlighten public opinion, but
that its conduct is open TO inquiry.
The opinion is the first definition of
the wide powers conferred on the com
mission by congress in 1910 which the
railroads have always denied. 1t de
clarcs fatty that the investigating and
supervising powers OF the commission eN-
tend to all activities Of the carriers and
to all sums expended by them (which
could affect in any way their benefit or
burden as agents Of the public"
1T is not far from true-it may be it
j. entirely true, as said by the commits
sion. the court said, that there can
be- nothing private or confidential in the
activities and expenditures of a carrier
engaged in interstate commerce.
The case grew out OF an inquiry start

cal activity, It's relations with other car

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Tha Mil
waubcc Social Democrat Publishing
company, publisher Of the Milwaukee
Leader, Of which Victor l.. Berger is
editor, brought proceedings yesterday
III the local courts to compel Postmas
ter General Burleson to restore the pa
per to the secondcla mailing priv1-
legcs. The publishing company chal-
lenged the constitutionalitv of the cs-
pionage act and the trading with the
enemy act. The postmaster general will
be required TO answer by Nov. 10.
1t is charged that the provisions of
the espionage act and the trading with
the enemy act granting powers to the
postmaster general and his assistants
to determine when the laws are violat-
ed are unconstitutional. They do not
the publishers contend, afford the ac-
cused persons TRIAL by court and thus
violate the rights of free speech and
a free press.
The Leader says it has been the or,
gan of the Social Democratic party ana
several labor unions, and although ad
vocating international peace, has at nc
time published any articles violating
any Of the provisions Of the espionag,
act or similar enactments. Denial OF
the right to use the mails, it is SCI
forth, has caused the paper to lose 10,

TASTEFUL AMERICA.

We are undoubtedly the most waste full people in the world. In America frugality is almost a lost art Count less men and women are actually sui fering, both physically and mentally, because they do not know how to stop waste in their homes.
 Waste is a devastating thing. It goes on under our eyes; it goes on while we sleep--it is always going on. There is as much difference between honest wear and tear and waste as there is between an honest man and a theft. We waste our time, our money our food
 In a household about S per cent of the heat from the furnace is wasted. Our children take more than they can eat and waste the rest. But before we correct them we should look at our own plates. The amount of gas vast ed in jets unnecessarily kept burning in single day all over the United States would, if we could compute it. be a staggering indictment of our folly.
 The American business man goes on the principle that it is easier for him to make more money to pay for the waste in his home than it is to waste" his time in trying to stop it. His wife is unconsciously influenced by his ex- ample

LIFE OF THE WORLD.

There is a general and widespread notion, which the curious investigator will find scattered throughout both medieval and modern literature, that the world will last 5000 years from the date of it's creation. An inscription in one of Martin Luther's books reads as follows: "Elijah, the prophet, said that the world had existed 1000 years be- fore the law was given (from Adam to Moses), would exist 1000 years under the Mosaic law (from Moses to Christi and 1000 years under the Christian dispensation and then it would be burned"
 In the Etrurian account of the crea- tion (by Suidas) there is q similar tra- dition, "The Creator spent G000 years in creation, and 6.O00 more are allotted 10 the earth
 In the black letter edition of Foxes .Acts and Monuments" QG32) there is whole sermon given with the coco year limit of the earth's duration as a text.
 Some writers contend that the "siX days" referred to in Holy Writ really mean 5000 years and that the seventh day" is a type of the coming millen- afrn. or Sabbath of a thousand years"
 The psalmist says, For a thousand wears are in thy sight as yesterday" . tPsalm NC, 4.). See also II Peter iii, s, ~hich is even more specific.
