be forgotten for years. While
this country does not need such a

The president is still able to de.
lay declaration of war, and it is
to be hoped that there is still u
chance for him to prevent it. 1t
is barely hope, however. Every
days delay sees this country in
better shape to fight, and the ex.
penditure for ships, armament and
ammunition is rapidly increasing
the fighting strength of the coun.
try. The amount Of money that
war would soon cost would
shortly buy this country such a
fleet as would compel the Dons to
quietly submit to the demands for
Cuban freedom. This country is
now stronger in battle ships and
cruisers than Spain, but the lattsr
nation is far stronger in torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroyers.
These little ships are the most
dangerous to large ones, and in
few weeks the United States
could gather fleet of the smaller
boats that would outclass that of
Spain. The condition of Spanish
finances makes it impossible for
her to compete with the United
States in the markets of the world
in buying boats, and the advantage
of the United States increases with
every days delay. Cuba will be
free, and the United States will in.
sist on that result. If the gather.
ing Of an overwhelming naval
strength by the United States
would bring about the result with.
out war, it would be qualification
to the country and credit to the
president.

court soon after the law was enacted.
The object of the bill was to secure an
order restraining the state officials
from putting the law into force. The
law was attacked on the ground OF It's
constitutionality. 1t was charged that
,nasmuch as the act applied only to
state freights 1t was chargeable with
discrimination against them and there
fore antagonistic to the spirit or the
18th amendment to the constitution
They contended that the maximum rate
6xed was unreasonable and ruinous to
the roads. It was also asserted that
the act interfered with Interstate com
merce. The state met these allegations
with arguments in support of the valid
ity of the law and also with the coun'
ter charge that the case was one o.
which the federal courts could no
properly take jurisdiction.

he held was too great change. Tn
case has been twice argued in the su
