FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION Tha nomination by the President of the members of the new Federal Trade commission focusses public at tention on the purpose of this body and the men who will compose It. The trade commission takes over the functions of the bureau of cor porations .whose chief work has been the collection of authentic information About big business, but its authority goes much further. While exercising broad supervision over American business in general somewhat as the Interstate Commerce commission does over transportation, It will have three distinct lines of activity. It will give information, , advice and warning: to corporations that may be engaged, in tentionally or lgnorantly, in Illegal practices; it will follow up court de cisions relating to the anti-trust laws and apply those decisions effective ly to actual corporate conditions and practices;, and it will try to work out a scientific, non-partisan tariff sys tem to replace the loose, grab-bag, log-rolling method that has always marked our tariff making. The non-partisan character of the commission should make it an ade suate vehicle for these ambitious pur r' poses. If the. men chosen now and hereafter are of the right caliber and temper. It happens naturally that the list submitted by a Democratic Pres ident Includes a majority of Demo crats. That co-Incidence of political alignment with the party in power will disappear as other appointments are made under other admislntrations, and eventually the body will no more appear to represent any political party than does the Interstate Commerce commission or the Supreme court. Needless to say, the trade commission will attain tts full measure of public confidence and authority only when the public ceases to think of the par tisan affiliations of its members. ABB TURKS "UNSPEAKABLE?" Can it be that we have done the Turks gross injustice? That Instead of being "unspeakable" in their meth ods of warfare, they are more decent, enlightened and humane than the Christian belligerents? These disturbing questions are sug gested by reading a proclamation of the commander-in-chief of the Turk ish army In Syria. Here it is, word lor word: Palestine is directly in the line of operation of the imperial army that has been entrusted with the task of emancipating Egypt with the help of the Almighty. The population of Pal estine has, therefore, to a greater ex tent than that of other regions, the duty of taking part in the defense of the fatherland and in the sacred Jehad (Holy War). This duty tocludes the establishing and maintenance of cordial relations and Indlaoluble ties among all the Ot toman elements. The least act that might cause Injury to such amicable relations will be severely punished, I therefore order the Mohammedan races, who form the majority, to make proof of their patriotic senti ments by cordial relations with the Israelite and Christian elements of the population. The subjects of our allies and those of friendly and neutral states who are living rn Palestine are our rejected guests. At a time when we are en gaged in a life and death struggle we are under obligation to manifest regards these prons a better at tHudo the ever. Character shows It sir most Hearty of alt In grave and difficult crises; and since It la to our national interest to secure the friend ship and sympathy of the ra.;s of the country, we can secure this nd only by conduct such as this. I The goods, the life, ths honor, and i.oclttily th Individual rights of the mitijecis of the states at war with us ain under the guarantee of our . tnal honor. I therefore shall not ; '.) w the l-t aggression again ! cnii the attention of the whole C Palestine to thla pructa- matlon. May God give success to Islam! ' Has the reader seen any announce ment, or any evidence, of such cour teous and, kindly consideration to res ident aliens In the territory of Great Britain, France, Germany or any other European belligerent? It seems to have been left for despised Asia to teach civilized Europe war manners. Is not there a sort of sardonic humor in the fact that the supposedly Christian virtue of regard for the life. property and feelings of enemies has been shown only by Mohammedan Turkey and Buddhist Japan? A GOOD AMERICAN. The recent death at Helena, Mont.. of Thomas Cruse brought to the at tention of the rest of the country the interesting career of this humble millionaire. Cruse was the discoverer of the great Drum-Lummon mine. For twenty years he had toiled and grub bed alone in the hills, with never a break in his bad luck. They used to eer at him when he strode into Hel ena gaunt and ragged, but with de fiant pride in his face and gait to beg oredlt for more flour and bacon. Then he struck It rich. When an English syndicate made the first cash Payment on his mine, a trifle of $1,600,000, "Old Tom" stuffed a big roll of bills into his. Jeans and re marked quietly, "I reckon they'll call me 'Mr. Cruse' after this." And they did. Mr. Cruse was not ruined by his good fortune. He did not forget his friends; in the panic of "93 he went to the merchants who had staked him in his darkest days and offered them unlimited credit. He remembered the unfriendly, too, but he sought no petty revenge; he merely turned his back on begging business men who had turned their backs on him in his need His money did not go in riotous living or spectacular ventures. He lived simply, arousing no malice or envy. He overcame the handicap of ignorance, and became a successful business man and banker. He labored for the upbuilding of his city and state. At a time of financial depres sion, when it was almost impossible to get money for public Improvements he loaned the state funds to build its capltol. He will be missed by the great northwest whose chief glory has been the development of such men, LINES W ORTH REMEMBERING.

By George Henry Smith. Moving Day In Frogville. "It was all Mrs. Frog could do to wake Jack and Jill up in the morning oi ine aay they moved," said Ethel's father as he told her the usual story last night. "They were so tired that their eyes seemed glued together, and Mrs. Frog was very anxious to get them up early because It was moving! day. "Finally she called her husband and asked him to wake the boys up. He got an old straw hat of his and filled it with water and dashed It over the two boys' heads. ' 'Here, you," he said, 'Hurry and get up, for we are going to move Into a new house today.' ' 'What's that?' asked Jill Frog. " 'We are going to hove Into a new house,' said his father; 'and you two boys are to have a room for each of you. " 'Hurry up, hurry up, and let's cot up,' said Jill. 'I want to see what this new place Is going to be like.' 'Are we going to have lots of water there and plenty of room to splash around?' asked Jack Frog of his fath er. " 'You better get up and see, said his father. "The frog family had soon finished their breakfast and were beginning to put all their things out on the front porch when suddenly they spied a lot of fishes looking at them from the little brook, and a lot of treetoads looking at them from the tops of the trees. "What are you all looking at?" ask ed Mr. Frog. " 'We are waiting to see the fun.' said one of the little fishes. 'We thinl it will be good fun to see you folks move.' "Pretty soon Mr. Treetond came over and lie helped Mr. and Mrs. Frog get all of their belongings on a large loaf, and then they began to push and to shove and haul, and finally with a great deal of trouble they landed at their new home, and Mr. Frog and Mr. Treetoad carried the lost piee of fur nlture Into the new house Just as the setting sun went down behind th hill." Day By Day In New York By O. O. Mclntvre Special correspondent of The Gazette News. New York, Feb. 26. Just because his head Is shaped like a pecan nut Gorinda may be barred from these cruel shores. Oorinda Is on his way to the Panama Pacific Exposition with his pocket edition family of four and ail are detained at Ellis Island. British East Africa is the habitat of the troupe of dwarfs, all under four feet. When asked by the news hounds what was his opinion of the general European situation, Oorinda stopped cantering up and down the tiled floor long enough to say "Eee-Yah!" which can only be translated by Hughe? Jennings of the Detroit Ti gers. There are Ave dwarfs in Oorinda' family and all have funny shaped bead and play with rag dolls and spools like babies although the youngest is about 12 years of age. The shrewd political sharks see la the effort to enforce the Sunday saloon law in New York the One Italian hand of Charles P. Murphy, tha chief of Tammany Hall Once upon a time, Theodore Roosevelt, as police commis sioner, made a determined attempt to enforce the Sunday saloon law. At the next election Tammany took possession of the entire city govern ment. Van Wyck reigned as . the mayo and Big BUI Devery, famous for his "touchin" on and appertalnln' to" utterances, was police chief. And the red lights shone all around) Those who profess to know any thing about It say the Sunday law was not enacted to be enforced but to sat isfy the up-state passion for regulat ing the personal habits of the people of New York. When these laws are enforced Tammany moves back Into City hall and the district leaders begin opening wine on Broadway. o-u. Slmon Brentano. the most famous "buff" In the world, has passed on, He was the head of a big Fifth avenue Publishing house but his hobby was fires and their prevention. For years he kept a special Are alarm at the head of his bed and another near his desk, in his office, and attended every Are it was possible fpr him to get to. He was what New York's firemen call a "buff'a "bog on fires." It took many years of persistent persua sion on his wife's part to have the Are alarm boxes removed from his home. His lively interest in Are prevention won a nation-wide reputation for Brentano.
