important Traffic Decision.


The United States supreme court
recently decided a railroad traffic
case which settles an important in
terstate commerce principle. The
decision is one of the most import
ant in judicial history. In effect, it
nullifes the powers of state railroad
commissions.
The case originated in Arkansas
The railroad commissioners of that
state established rates for railroad
traffic between various points within
the state. These rates were held to
apply to railroads which ran into
other states. although the points be-
tween which rates were established
we're wholly within the state of Ar
kansas.
Jurisdiction of this purely state
was claimed by the interstate com
merce commissioners on the ground
that it passed over interstate rail
roads. The federal supreme court
sustained this claim. If railroad
| runs across state lines. if it enters
or crosses two or more states, its
purely local freight and passenger
traffic comes under the jurisdiction
OF the interstate commiss. oners.
This decision brings under United
States control the traffic on mill
trains, the little freight shipments
between points in the same state
the short trip passenger traffic ant
Il. the local business of railroads
running in two or more states Moth
ing of railroad transportation is lief
under state supervision. for all tn
existing railroads run in more thai
one state

Cure for Wife Beaters.

Poughkeepsie. New York, judge
thinks he has solved the wife beat
err problem, and is consequently
highly elated The scheme of the
Judge in question is popular one,
but if it works we'll who will COM
plain? Briefly. this new plan is to
let the wife declare the sentence,
whatever it may be, and then the
court is to see that such sentence is
carried out.
What disposition to make of wife
heaters has always been a problem
with police magistrates and justices
OF the peace and the fraternity will
no doubt offer handsomely en-
crossed vote Of thanks to Judge Nor
schauser, of Poughkeepsie city court
The judges name would not indi-
cate great wisdom. but that his heart
is in the right place and that his
head is level was shown the other
day, when Gus Merkle, laborer,
was charged by his wife with
assaulting her and spending his
money for liquor.
The story Of the judges new de-
parture Poes on to say that when
Merkle was arraigned. Judge Nor
schauser sad to the wife:
Now, Mrs. Merkle, it is up to you
to say what shall be done with this
man. Shall send your husband to
the penitentiary or to the Jail? He
las been beating you ever since he
married you. | know him like a
book"
Don't send him to jail" pleaded
Mrs. Mcrkle. Il need his money to
support my children. Fix it SO he
fer. don t care how he treats me-
Six months in the penitentiary on
probation, ordered the Judge. II
shall be true to my promise and al
low your sentence to stand, he re-
marked to Mrs. Merkla He can
keep ont OF the penitentiary by Civ
ing YOU his wages every Saturday
night. and YOU give him 35 cents a
we X for tobacco.
The Judge further announced that
in the future he will let complaining
wives pass Judgment on their hus-
bands, and believes that his plan will
put these men at the mercy Of their
wives and will thus force them to be
decent, whether they want to or not
Thus has a mighty problem which
has perpleXed magistrates for years
been solved in a sensible way To be
sure our Montana law is different
from that of New York, but the sen.
tence to be administered may be
modified to fit the situation. We
have not many wife heaters in Mon
tana, but we have a few, and it has
always been perpleXing problem
what to do with them. To take then
away from their families would be
to punish the families more than the
offender, for their chance to get an.
part of his wages would then be
taken away Under the plan of the
Judge with the long name, however
the man will always have a punish
ment hanging over him, while hi!
family will be given an opportunit.
to get their reasonable share from
his wages.-Great Falls Tribune.

Although thousands of prospectors
have been exploring the Klondike re-
gion for over a year, no new mines
have been discovered, and the govern
ment expert reports that this years
production will be S1O.O0O,OOO less than
last year. In this respect the Klon-
dixie resembles the majority of new
medicines that spring up from time to
time. They seem to flourish for Il
season. but because of lack of merit
soon play out. Not so. however, with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
have been before the public continu-
ously for fifty years, and is today
more in demand than ever. Its won
derful success is attributed to the
fact that it positively cures indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, fiatulency, headache,
constipation, biliousness, and ma
laria, fever and ague. Try a bottle
