MUST CUT JOHNSON GRASS.
Texas Railroads Cannot Allow 1t to Go
 to Seed Along Tracks.

Washington, May 3-The United States supreme court in an opinion by Justice Holmes, in the case of the Missouri, Kan sas and Texas Railroad company vs Clay May, sustained the validity of the Texas statute prescribing a penalty against railroads in that state which per init Johnson grass to go to seed on their lines. The law was attacked uncon- stitutional, but the court upheld 1t as a measure for the protection of the people of the state against Gn injurious plant.
 Justice Holmes said:
 Great constitutional provisions must be administered with caution. Some play must be allowed for the joints of the ma chine. and 1t must be remembered that Legislatures are ultimate guardians of the liberty and interests of the people in quite as large a degree as the courts.''
 Justices Brown. White and McKenna dissented holding the law to be discrim- inatory against the roads.

ELECTED AN ALL
 WHITE DELEGATION
LILY WHITES OF LOUISIANA WILL SEND DELEGATES TO CHICAGO. ROOSEVELT IS STRONGLY EN- DoRSED.

New Orleans. May S.-The lily white republicans who have been recognized by President Roosevelt as the dominant republican faction in Louisiana and who hold the federal offices, today nominated an all-white delegation to the national convention after q spirited caucus of the leaders. Ex-Governor Warmoth and number of the leading office holders fought for a negro member on the dele gation at large, believing that the fac ton might be turned down at Chicago if 1t appeared there on record as opposing recognition of the negro. Chairman Williams led the successful opposition on the ground that the lily white party could never hope to be successful iE Louisiana unless 1t stood for white su premacy.
 A. F. Leonhardt was the chairman or the convention. With the appointment Of the committee on credentials Walter A. oNeil of St. Mary, offered resolution directing the committee to receive nc credentials presented by a negro The resolution was taken up in the commit tee room and by a vote of to defeat- ed. TWO reports were presented to the convention. The majority was adopted and about twenty negroes were admitted to the convention,s ys
 The resolutions denounce the suffrage articles of the Louisiana constitution, es- pecially the grandfather clause, as q dis criminaton in favor of the democratic party, and against qualified voters of the state. strongly indorse the admins tration of President Roosevelt and in- struct the delegation to vote for his re- nomination.
 Ex-Governor Warmoth, Gen w. J. Behan, defeated candidate for governor In the recent election; l.. F. Suthon and Pearl Wight were named as delegates al large. The alternates and the preslden- tial electors, are also white.

A Gladstone Anecdote.

The sarcastic cheer is very common,
and recall one fatal example of its use.
MIR. Gladstone was once drawing very
remarkable conclusions from some fig
ures-an art in which he was an unap-
preached master. A member on the
other side laughed out Hear, hear"
ironically. Gladstone stopped instantly,
and turned and looked with interest at
the interrupter, who assuredly would at
that moment have given good deal to
recall his words. Then he turned back
to the Speaker. Sir" he said, 1.-THE
honorable gentleman laughs" For a
minute or two he quoted from memory a
long string of figures proving the accu-
racy of what he had previously said.
THE next time the honorable member
laughs" he continued in honeyed tones,
81 would advise him-I would venture
to counsel him-to ornament his laugh
to decorate it-with an idea Cen
fury for May.

Our Debt to Italy.

Economically considered, Italy is con
tributing greatly to the prosperity of
America. A large part of her surplus
population is digging our tunnels, build
ing our railways, and supporting a null
titude of our industries. This element
has it's vices-usud8ag the inheritance of
dynasties OF misrule-and coming chiefly
from the south OF Italy, sometimes fails
to show us the more lovable and gentle
side of the people. But it is hardwork-
ing, frugal, and fairly law abiding race,
even here, and, however it may be misled
for time, has no menace for free insti-
tutions beyond any other ignorant
foreign population. It will be sad for
Italy if her children shall take back from
America to that democratic land lessons
of oppression and inequality drawn from
the purchase of favors before the law.
Until we are sure that we are not teach
ing them such lessons, we should do we'll
to speak more softly of the degeneracy
of the country they have left or of the
dangers to our civilization involved in
their COMMUNICATING for May.
