Over Affair TvItli Chairman KeepWill Use Fnll Power
Plans are under consideration by theInterstate Commerce Commission thatcontemplate the most sweeping the mostcomprehensive and farreaching investigation into the management of the railroads of the United States
Early In the new year practically anthe great systems in the country will bethe subject of inquiries such as has beenordered in the ease of the Harrimanand such as will soon be ordered in relation to the road controlled and operatedby James J Hill
While the members of the commissionare not inclined to discuss their workit is known that practically every railroad in the United State suspected ofworking in combination with competingroads will have the searchlight of pubHefty thrown upon it
Xew York Central TooIn addition to the Harriman aad Hill
systems U ts understood that the com-
mission is quietly looking into the opera-
tions of the New York Central and thevarious lines controlled by It That theNew York Central will eventually bbrought to face with an investiga-tion by the commission ia the belief here
It is true said Chairman Knapp yesterday that we have in mind an inquiryinto the operations of the Hill roads Itwill be of the same general character asthe one we are about to institute intothe management of the socalled
lines Stuyvesant FIsh has talkedthe matter over with us He did notcome here by appointment but he offeredus the benefit of his knowledge of rail-road conditions in the event that we mayneed him
ComminiMinn lion Much PowerIt is the belief of the commission that-
a thorough insight into the methods ofthe railroads of the country will tend
more efficient administration of thenew rate law even if it does not discloseviolations of the law such as discrimina-tions against individuals and communi-ties Under the interstate commerce actas amended last winter the commissionhas authority to examine all books andrecords of railroad companies Formerlyit was limited to a search for singleitems Under the changed order of things-it may scrutinize every entry and everyrecord In the books of the carriers Thispublicity feature will greatly aid thecommission in the series of investigationsupon which it is about to embark

HaH5J4After dbjcuastog various reforms in the
organisation of the department the PoutGeneral says
I repeat what I stated a year agothat while it would be a gratifying cir-
cumstance if the Postoffice Departmentwere selfsustaining I am leas concernedabout the deficit than about emcfency ofadministration It the installation of therural service had depended upon theiatence of a surplus In the postal revenuesunder the existing system of accountingthat service could not have been givenThe same considerations apply to a num-ber of other branches The financial re-
turns from certain branches are so Inter-woven with and dependent uponthat there is much force in the contentionthat k to unreasonable to charge any oneof them with the reeponalbfflty for thedeficit
In spite of defects the edency of theservice has been in many respects re-
markable as witness the record of theregistry service for the half century ofits existence showing a percentage of kissfrom all causes Including burglary theftand fire for the fiscal year ended June

There can be further economies larural delivery without nay Impairmentof that service By a more precise methodof determining the haste of pay for Usetransportation of the malls the depart-ment can be relieved of an unbusinesslike feature of administration with aprobable decrease in expenditures

What the women of this country real-ly want they are likely to get What theysot out earnestly to do they are pretty
or tain to It IK worth whiletherefore to keep an eye on them andsee what they are after and what theyare doing to further their alms
quite a little light hiss been thrownupon this matter through the publica-tion of a series of articles in The An-nals of the American Academy of Po-litical and Social Science
The General Federation of WomensClubs now contains we are told 5009clubs with a membership of 306066
Clearly such an organization mustbe a great power in the life of the iiaHon Through its pure food committee-it has accomplished much Bvon the un-believing in the value of womens workin public affairs have had to admit thatthe work of the federation in this Heldhas been of potent Influence in securingthe passage of the pure food bin Theart committee has sought to improve theartistic sense of the people Works ofart have been placed upon the walls ofour public schools art leagues have beenformed and interest aroused in the dec-oration of public buildings the erectionof monuments park gates and drinking fountains
One club atone has expended 16006 inschoolroom decoration In the Held ofcivics much has been done in beautify-ing streets effecting sanitary improve-ments establishing parks and play-grounds preserving historic places andnatural beauties A notable example ofthe last named is the preservation of thePalisades of the Hudson
Womans clubs are becoming a mightyfactor in the civilization of the centuryand aro creating an army of builderswhich will not only be a potent forceIn the present generation but will trans-mit to the next a vigor and strengthnever before given by any race of wom-en to their Inheritors

cently returned from the Philippines tothe effect that the brilliant career ofCapt Perching of the Fifteenth Caval-ry who is to bo appointed to the rankof brigadier general was clue to the influance bronght to bear by his fathermbtw Senator Francis E Wastes ofWyoming this Senator lost nt ht deniedthat there i any truth In the story
Ha is chairman of the Senato Commit-
tee on Military AffairsI never knew and never SAW Cairt
Pershing and no member of my familyhad ever even heard of him said theSenator until listening to Presi-
dents message to Congress three yearsago In that message the President com-
plimented for Ida exceptionalaccomplishments in the Philippines nfter-Perahing had already returned He waspresented to my daughter and myself aday or two after the opening of Congressand the delivering of the message referredto so you see I couldnt have influencedhis command months or weeks before inthe Philippines as charged in the statemeat of the soldier quoted
Further than this Pershing notowe me anything at all for his subse-quent appointment as brigadier generalbeGUM It had been considered and prac-tically promised to friends of Perabingsand on a matter of merit alone
An examination of the records of theWar Department open to all who seekto examine them will convince tiny rea-
sonable jiereon of the truth of tills as-sertion Not a line is on record in theWar Department or in Congress againstthis officer who by Ute way did nothimself apply for this promotion but wasrecommended by a host of friends andprominent army men ranking from lieutenant general down to Pershings rank
