Whatever may be the result’of the investigation at Washington as to the discovery of an “insidious” lobby, it has again brought to light in no un- certain manner the need of making some change in the franking priv leges which are now extended to mem- bers of congress. When it is pointed out that the frank in one Instance alome has aided to the extent of $28000 in curtailing postal expenses and throws that burden upon the postoffice department, it is plain that Postmaster General Burle- son has plenty of opportunity for ex- erting his influence for reform which will effect a great saving within his administration. The practice of getting statements, speeches and figures printed at the expense of the government and then the forwarding of them throughout the country under the frank of some congreseman, is one which attaches a large bill of expense to the operation of government, The franking evil is one which has Jong needed attention, and one which has brought forth many suggestions for a better control with- out proper recognition being taken of the value of the arguments The frankipg system has its merits, but 1t suffers through the abuse of the privilege. —There is no more reason why it should be used by the friends of the congressmen than there is that political speeches and magazine arti- cles should be printed in the Congres- sional Reford, when they are never heard in congress. COMMERCE COURT. What the future of the commerce court is going to be must be deter- mined within the next two weeks. The appropriation necessary for its con- tinuance, when deemed necessary by President Taft, expires the first of | next month. It is a wise conclusion which a number of the democratic leaders are coming to, that the failure to provide for the necessary funds for the maintenance. of the court, and therefore bringing about its end, is against the demands and interests of the country. Recognition of this has evidently caused serious refleotion and reconsideration of the attitude taken last vear, when the opposition was for a political' motive. It was only after the president had insisted upon its continuance that it was compromised to continue until July first, but the value of that compromise and of the president’s attitude s now belng ap- preciated. THE STAMFORD WRECK. . The latest railroad accident, the col- lision at Stamford, which has result- ed In six deaths and a large number of injured,*calls not only- for a rigid investigatioh of the causg of the ap- parently fnexcusable loss of life, but the taking of the necessafy steps which will not only try, but will be Successful in preventing them, in the fature. ~ Numerous - serious accidents have occurred in that vicinity within a short time, with sufficient fatal re- sults to be a lesson against any in clination to carelessness, the permis. sion of inexperienced engine drivers at the throttle, and the disregarding of signals. It is because this last wreck comes in the face of past ex- perfence that it arouses so much in- dignation and a demand for the get- ting at the bottom of the trouble, Ac- cidents will happen on the best of railroads, but they cannot be con- sidered as excusable when there is a disregard of signals, at a point where it is also known that there must be a stop anyway. If the situation calls for.a higher grade of efficiency on.the part of engineers, it should be insist- ed upon, and the same if the trouble is with the railroad equipment. The demands of safety to the traveling public cannot be neglected, and if it isn't possible to make sure of the qualifications of the engine drivers, the safety device which will stop trains rushing by signals should be invoked. a steel parlor coach tell, but such would have eliminated the fire menace which threatened the dead and injured and which would have greatly increased the suffering had it been where fire apparatus was not avalilable. The results of the wreck only add unnecessary empha- sis to the need of better protection to human life. COLONEL GOETHALS. Tt is well recognized that Colonel Goethals has played a most important part in connection with the success attending the construction of the Pan- ama canal to its present point of com- pletion, and that same energetic dy- namic force must be kept at its head until the huge project is completed. The indication of some friction over metheds of procedure, as to whether water shall be admitted soon.and the removal of the earth and rock accom- plished by suction dredges instead of shovels, deserves little consideration. It is as the New York Times point- edly says that “whatever may be de- termined as to the relative merits of steam shovels 'and suction dredges, one thing is clear, the chief thing, th greatest thing—that Colonel Goethals and the army officers who have been in charge of the various branches of undisturbed by personal intrigue and free from political Interference. The administration, we take it, under- stands very well that the American people demand this, that they will be satisfled with nothing less, and that ‘0 follow any other course would be to embark upon a sea of perils. For this reason we hope it may be as- sumed that the notice said to have been fssued to the officers at the Isth- mus relieving them of duty there was a matter of form only, to become ef- fective only when the canal is fire ished.” The canal is too great an engineer- ing profect for the injection of any political tactics at this stage of- its | progress which will hamper or Injure the undertaking, and those who have been bound up in its construction up to now must see it through.

Many a man has tendorsed a note for a large amount Who paid a high price to learn that things may be dene in haste that it does ne good to repent at leisure. Never take a friend too serieusly and think you have a friend you could trust to carry your wallet for you. It is more safe and more sensible to carry your own wallet. We beat our- selves because we entertain fool idets. It 1s quite sensible to yemember the good die young, and that none are perfect but bachelor's wives' and old maid’s children.

Conditions have a force which we do not always reflect upon. stance, the minister was right whe: ,ha had concluded a sermon upon hi in a cold meeting house and asked tho deacons what effect such a warning had upon the ungodly who were shiv- erine with the cold, and longing for warmth? = The deacons doubtless saw the point. What good does it do to warn children against little vices in | Sunday school if the teacher, or super- { intendent, or both are openly practis- ing them? If indulgent parents allow their children more money per week to spend than they could possibly earn against extravagance? We are not mindful enough of the fact that coun- sel and example must harmonize if we expect] counsel to be effective. It is no wonder as a jewel, It is £0 rarely discovered in the conduct of men. It is the busy weman who does not have time to be miserable. No has ever been made happy by doing your hands your mind is getting un- steady, too. Occupation has been call- ed nature's physician, work is so es- sential to heaith and happiness; and the want of work has been likened unto a plague it is so blighting. It is a good Tule of life not to get too mucn addicted to only one thing.! Variety is the spice of life for all of us. It is our duties not our woes which should occupy our minds. We should cherish a_memory of our blessings rather than of our misfortunes®. Only the idle sit down with despalr and cultivate a new crop of megrims every day.

Stability was fixed in deeds by the men behind the hoe before it was framed in letter: ary. The average man calls farmers hayseeds, but Daniel Webster declared “the farmers are the founders of v ization and prosperity.” The herds of the East, and what were they but farmers, laid the foundations of astronomy and gave to literature some of the most impressive figures of | speech.

Our 1500 “embattled farmers” could not withstand the onrush of the 2720 | seasoned troops of King George. The red line charging up the heights of Charlestown did what it set out to 0. Yet, in practical effect, Bunker Hill was a victory for the defeated. The | moral influence:upon our forefathers | of thelr own brave resistance was in- calculably great. The day proved that | raw Provincials in homespun end arm- ed with fowling pleces could meet British Regulars without utter anni- hilation.
