IN THE PUBLIC EYE

Fifty-fve years ago today. in old Kensington palace. London. was born a baby girl, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Teck. who was destined to become the present queen of England. Princess May. as she was popularly called, grew to womanhood with little thought or prospect of ever occupying the throne. Before being called upon to fill such an important role the young princess had figured in three events of public interest. These were first, her engagement to the Duke of Clarence, elder brother to the present king; next, her engagement to the lat ter. following the decease of his brother, and then the memorable marriage of the two, one of the greatest social events of the closing years of the 18th cen- tury. To these might also be added the tour around the world in the royal yacht Ophir, made by the royal pair In 1901, in the. course of which the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, as their title then was, landed in Canada and journeyed across the entire Dom- inion in sumptuous special train.

KEEPING TABs oN pRTvERs.

BecauHe Of the great number of driv- frs of automobiles. the many cases where the regulations are violated and Ono piling up of business in the courts from such cases. an effort has been made iu New York Co obtain some relief. The i1ea is not Co treat harshly those fnfrac- lions of the regulations which 1t IS evil icnt were unintentional but to reduce The great amount Of attention which iourts at the present time are forced to give 70 them. Instead of having so many sent into court for violations which result only in tho court releasing the driver with or without warning, it isl proposed through an ordinance which has received the sanction of the board pf aldermen of New York city that the drivers Of all vehicles, whether motor driven or horse drawn, must get a traffic card from the department of police on which there must appear his photograph and spaces on which the policemen can punch violations or the automobile laws. When it comes Co the attention of a po- iiccman that there are five punches in tho card the next violation calls for the driver being summoned to court at which he win he obliged to display his record.
 1t is one Of those efforts which are being made Co deal with a condition which exists. Whether the ordinance becomes effective depends upon the ac- tion of the mayor. but should it be adopted it can hardly he accepted by drivers as a chance for disregarding the laws. Such a card would serve only tho minor eases. those which serve to clog a court but do not call for serious treatment. but with an accumulation of small violations within a brief time 1t would Serve to guide the court in deter mining the attitude of the driver toward regulations adopted in the interest of public safety.
 There are those who would not require such a card the entire year, but they would be obliged to protect themselves because Of the disregard which others show for regulations of any kind. It is @ plan for dealing with those whose memories are faulty rather than the secZiess.

pRoPERLY DiRrcrEp.

When the attorney general declares that the best legal talent Is going to be obtained to handle the cases growing out of the charges of war frauds, it is of course only what the situation calls for It is not to be expected that there will be any half way measures followed in dealing with these matters and certain Iy the best is none too good when it comes to handling matters of such inn portance.
 When cases involving the obtaining of large sums of money from the gov ernment under fraudulent conditions are presented to the department of justice there could be no toleration of any plan that would cause them to be sighted, or disposed of without due consideration of the existing facts. There are of course the war time expenses, which exceed those of normal times, but that doesn't justify the bleeding of Uncle Sam to the tune of s1s2.OoO, coo just because it was possible to do so Likewise it is not sufficient to maintain that the govern nent has been done out of such sum without an explanation justifying it or the prosecution of those responsible for it. Tn other words 1t is time to get down to the facts and have the depart ment of justice take adequate action ir accord herewith. With the attorney general working on that policy he can not fail to get the approval of the coun- try.
 In deciding to take personal charge of this work the attorney general indi cates that he doesn't intend to have i used for the purpose of passing out big fees to those engaged in the work. H' sets the limit by his own salary, an. possibly it Is because of the determine tion not to permit unwarranted salariei for this work of Investigating and pros ecuting that he has been handicapped il getting some that he desired to assis him.
 Surrounding himself. however with ; corps of able assistants and giving clos attention to the object in view ther should be obtained the results which tn country is looking for if the charge that have been made are substantiated

CUTTING FREIGHT RATES.

For months there has been e demand for a reduction in freight rates It has Been based upon the contention that the rates are too high, that they are serv- ing Go handicap business and that through a reduction in the rates there would result a spurt in business and an ending of unemployment.
 Even though rates have not been de- creased up 10 this time improved con ditions are Co be noted in many direc- tiuns. and improvements of pleasing character. That there hasn't been general reduction in freight -ates or derod before this time appears to have been due to the fact that 1t was be- Meved the burden ought not to be car red by the railroads. Lowered rates meant lowered revenue and with busi- ness at 8 low point there was slight pros pect for the roads to make up for that ioEs through increased transportation.
 Transportation, however, has it's ef- fleets upon every line of business. What ever it costs is figured in the selling price Of the goods. SO that from the standpoint Of the consumer as well as The shipper there IS much to be looked forward to in the new order of the in- terstate commission ordering what mounts to a ten per cent reduction in freight rates the first of July. This means getting back to the rates of two years ago and 1t is apparently the view uf the commission. with business on the Tain. that such a reduction ought to act is a sufficient stimulant to railroad bus ness as to offset the cut
 That under the existing order Is oi course where the railroads must be ex, rected to make up for that s45O, ,OO0, ,OO( which Is going to accrue to the shippers Lower rates have been urged on tn, ground that they would aid business ana through such increased business proven any detrimental effects upon the roads Railroad rates have been what they ar ln order Co obtain the needed transpor iafi0n service 1T that needed revenu gan bo obtained through a greater vol ume or freight and those shipping ari not required to pay what they have beei paying. it is quite proper that the. con Eumer who has to pay the bill should likewise experience his reductions in du t.me.

 Regardless of the trouble that he has encountered in this country 1t cannot fall to be impressed upon semenoff and others that he has been given the pro- tection in this country that he denied Americans in his country even though the courts decision is that he was the agent of de facto government. He is not being made to undergo the punish ment which some people have tried to impose upon him for deeds committed elsewhere or to be penalized personally for what was done as the agent of a government. His release by the decision of the court establishes that clearly.
 It has been stated that Semenoff was desirous of getting to Paris where he expects to ht ! more sympathy and sup port and it e.,nnot help being felt that no further obstacle ought to be put in his way. This country can get along well without him.

MERGER OF MUTUAL AND

 The Wyoming oil fields company also had been mentioned in connection with the proposed merger, but oil men be- lieve that there is little likelihood of its becoming a member of the combination because its acquisition with that of the other companies would give Mutual Oi an acreage in the Salt Creek fieldi larger than that permitted by the gov ernment to any one producer.

BORROWING HELP

'What!1 cried the girl in the fringed black silk sweater. as she met her friend in the smart jersey suit at the glove counter. T thought gou had gone over to open the family country place and save your mother work for change! What are you doing back in town?'
 T thought it best" confessed the girl in the jersey suit, Ito absent my self for a space from Myrtle lodge. I thought maybe if I just sort of van- ished I might be forgotten-''

 Well, I said, I've simply got to have some thing done over at our place and I am sure Mir. Hopes wouldn't mind your stopping that saw ing and coming over to help me a while. There's lots of wood sawed up here, isn't there?"
 "I guess SO" agreed the man. All right-what d'yuh want done 2
 Well, I got a good days work out of that man. He took off all the board ings and stacked them away and then said he could sweep of the outside of the house and begin raking up the yard and burning the dead branches and leaves, and | did wish he'd take down the kitchen stove pipe and knock out the soet, and see if the chimney was all right.

In view of the many failures in the past it can cause little surprise that the of Chilli and Peru who are deliberating in Washington with the idea of reaching an agreement regarding Tacna and Arica provinces lying be- tween the two countries are already at loggerheads and unable to proceed fur ther without getting directions from their respective governments
 They are dealing with an old problem and there are many phases of it which come to the surface whenever they un- de-talse to consider an agreement. They have not been able to agree on the car- rying out of the terms of the treaty in volving these provinces, so that 1t can not be regarded as strange that they have encountered a snag already.
 It is to be sincerely hoped that tho endeavor to get a settlement will not be frultless. Jt is a conference in which only the representatives of the two countries are participating. but it is only natural to expect that before the conference would be allowed to tarmi- nate, without result this government might offer it's services or a suggestion with view to avoiding failure. Hav- ing come here at the suggestion of this government there cannot fail to be in- terest in having the undertaking sue csed. South America may well desire to he rid of this quarrel between neigh bors ard certainly this country would be happy to serve as the peace maker through such help as it might be able to render. The trouble between the countries has come about as the result of force. It is time to bring about ar agreement by different and more lasting methods, and it would be most unfortu, nate if anything should serve to termi
 nate the conference before something tangible was accomplished.

A chemical analysis was made of the pitch and arse nic was clearly found in it, and traces were also discovered in the dust at the works, in the hair of the working men
