powers are coextensive with the con-
stitutioual functions of Congress-
After distinguishing the cases re-
lied on by the commission to sustain
its contention, Justice Van Orsdel
continued: I'm these cases the court
was dealing with the validity of
statutes in which the purpose of Con-
gress was clearly expressed. In the
present case, however, there is no
statute, and no object has even been
fntimated by Congress, nor are we en-
lightened by any definite statement
from the commission of it's purpose
in making the investigation. The
most that can be gathered from the
answer is that a general survey of the
coal, coke. steel and allied interests
is contemplated in a tentative search
for information relative to the high
cost of living.
I'VE think the activities of the
commission are strictly limited to tho
field of commerce except so much
thereof as has been occupied by the
act to regulate commerce and by the

WISE WORDS OF WISE MEN

Hatred Is a madness of the mind.
 Cowards fight when they can fly no farther.
 It Is the Idle man who Is the miser able man.
 He Is most safe from danger who, even when safe, is upon his guard.
 Man was made to be active and he Is never so happy as when he Is so. Shun delays, they breed remorse. Take thy time when time is lent thee He that Is ashamed to be seen in a mean condition would be proud in splendid one.
 All other knowledge Is hurtful to him who has not the science of honesty and good nature.
 He who reforms himself has done more toward reforming the public than crowd of noisy takers.
 The greatest pleasure of life is love, the greatest treasure is contentment the greatest possession Is health.
 A wise precept for all who build Is that the owner should be an orna- ment to the house, and not the house to the owner.
 True happiness ne'er entered at an
 eye.
 True happiness resides in things un-
 seen. You think 1t lack of Judgment that man changes his opinion. Do you think it proof that your scales are bad because they vibrate with every additional weight that Is added to either side?
