In what Dr. Wilson characterized “one of the most important,” dry law decisions ever handed down, four of these eminent judge ‘expressed themselves in such a manuer, to quote him, as to constitute a ‘“wet victory.” Do. Dr Wilson and those for whom he efficially speaks contend that the minority opinion was not based on what those signed it considered to be the legal principles and precedents involved? Would they have the country believe that these four Justices of the highest tribunal in the Jand “were pliant tools” of the wet. interests, and prostitutéd "their official positions by ren- > dering an opinion adverse to what they knew | to be legally sound? Of course, no such conten- tion will be made by Dr. Wilson anyone else. Yet that is the logical interpretation . to be placed on his above quoted argument.

(Boston Ne Bureau.) Out of the acrimony of the political struggle which attended the passage of the utilities in- vestigation resolve in the Senate there emerged one distinctly satisfying outcome, When, a "‘)‘rulw' is afoot, it matters almost as much how it is conducted as what its subjcets or object may It is therefore a relief to have it de- | termined that the impending inquisition shall so {far as possible—without any curtailment of fact- | finding purpose—be ex-politie That the motive mainly hate by majority Senators who inquiry would be more properly and effectively |handled by the Federal Trade Commission than by a special Senate committee. That intent to conduct a calmly impartial investigation, with- lout any political and especially any partisan bias or flavor, is evidenced in the expressed Illl“u(h“ lof the Commission,—a body which has of late |shown more stability and judgment than it once used to. The Trade Commission also would rather ob- viously appear to be far the hetter equipped for i and rutiny of relatively scientific sort. | It already has a great deal of data at its com- {mand. No doubt, like some other Government | ilatory bodies, its energies are already well | mortgaged.. But even more so it would seem that | Senators are less well equipped in these respects as well as in training, capacity and tempera- ment. Kspecially so is a husy Presidential year. The Commission promises prompt and diligent atiention to its new k, with the use of all its organie and special powers. With inqui zeal {now in Washington, it is among all the projected probes, gdded to mlmost daily, a really dispassionate lnl aBything like expert inquiry into utility development, physical and financial, would result. And possibly the thought of the political boomerang effects of a mishandled probe may have had its weight with some Senators in their choice of instrument for the utility investigation. For it is in the utilities, themselves so swiftly expanding in service and strength ir recent years, that “customer ownership,” the diffusion of pro- prietorship, has made its extraordinary gains. | Security holders have been recruited by the hun- dreds of thousands. That new diffusion has aptly been termed by Prof. Carver a ‘silent economic revolution,” And all those holders of ‘b(’.‘(‘llrlli(fls have votes. | ) the days of the ‘““‘money trust’” probe, f example—~such a .quest need have little ! t lind or motive. But today ng, as well as are voting be stressed in de- believed the wa the 8 s0 pronounced just doubtful enough if ling lists | Mr. Coolidge and Congress. (New York Times.) The P dent seems to be getting with this session of Congress in the matter of appointments than in legislation. 'True, he has had to withdraw two or three mominations when he found that they would not be confirmed by the Senate. But, on the whole, he has had to suffer no such disappointment as the Senate forced upon him when it rejected a nomination which he had made for the Cabinet itself. On Thursday three important appointments which had long been held up and bitteérly contested were con- firmed by the Senate by more than a (wo-thirds vote. These were Mr. Coolidge's selections for the Federal Farm Loan Board, Mr. Eugene Meyer, Mr. George R. Cooksey and Mr. Floyd R. Harri- son. Questions of policy as well as of personality were involved, but in the end the Administration had its way. The same cannot be recommendations to on better safd of the Congress in the sphere of lawmaking. His known views about tax redue- tion were ignored and overridden in the bill which passed the House. What the Senate will do with it no one yet knows, but in that body there has already appeared a combination of dis- gruntled Republicans and Democrats able easily to outvote the supporters of the President, They have just done so in the case of the Shipping bill. They may be expected to display their power in other controversial questions, so ‘as to give the impression, as the session proceeds, that the Executive and Congress are hopelessly at cross-purposes. i This is a condition of affairs which skilleq political observers expected to show itself in the last year of President Coolidge's term. Being a sagacious political himself, it is probable that it has not come to him as a surprise. It may have been one of the elements entering into his decision not to stand again for the Preside; RNy esidency President’s L SR T A S 4 Out where the handclasp's a little stronger, out where the smile dwells -a little longer, 1 things generally are bigger and better, in Sewell, Kan., has one of the largest buncles on record.— (Detroit News.) and man car- Gl W ORI L vy Our navy is too small, says a Congressman.
