The new Esch bill to prevent the
over capitalization of interstate rail
ways is simple in its provisions but
it strikes at the root of a great na
tional abuse It provides that after a
railroad has been in operation a year
it may not issue additional bonds or
stocks or other instruments of indebt
edness except for the purpose of in
vesting the money in the improvement
of tho service The original indebted
ness must of course be guarded to
make this law fully effective This
is in harmony with the best judgment
of students of railroad problems The
Esch bill may not go far in the pres
ent session but the passage of some
stringent regulation of the kind is in
evitable Accompanied by the valua
tion of all the roads now in existence
this bill will have a strong influence
in bringing about peace between the
public and the transportation com
panies Lincoln Journal
So conservative a magazine as the Re
view of Reviews discusses the number
of supreme court vacancies likely to bo
filled during tho next presidential ad
ministration with reference to the effect
of the changes Either Mr Taft or Mr
Bryan will have the filling of vacancies
and thinks Mr Shaw It would prob
ably make somo difference in the atti
tude of the court toward critical ques
tions whether the vacancies were filled
by one president or another Such an
admission is something of a shock to
those who have been trained to suppose
that supremo court decisions are arrived
at liko tho answer to a problem in al
gebra tho judges being able to como to
no decision except the ono the constitu
tion rigidly drives them to If tho po
litical or economical or social convic
tions of the judges make so much differ
ence in the meaning of tho constitution
it is evident the people lack control of a
most important legislative function of
their government Four of the present
justices aro seventy years old or over
and Justices Fuller and Harlan are seventy-five
Justice Harlan has been on
the bench thirty one years Justice Full
er twenty years In the ordinary run of
events tho next president should havo
the choosing of not less than two-justices
and probably more Lincoln

Gas is the popular fuel in all cities where it is in use

Compare our present light bills with the cost of other
lighting and you will not hesitate in installing the gas
Once a accustomed to the use of a gas range yov would
use nothing else
