STATE RIGHTS ISSUE.
Raised by Senator Morgan Over Railway
Rates Question.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 31.--In an
interview in Florence, Ala, Senator John
z. Morgan explained his position on the
railway rate question, and answered
some Of the questions raised by his re-
cent letter to the governor of that state.
In his letter to- Gov. Jelks the senator
said that as legislation comforting power
over railroad rates upon federal tri-
bunal involved surrender of the ait-
thority of the states, be would not sup
port it unless the state legislature in
structed him to do so. If such action
were taken, be said, he would accept
it as an indication that the people of
Alabama were ready to surrender their
authority over rates to the federal gov
ernment.
@This proposed national legislation
be said, RESOLVES itself into a question
of constitutional rights and powers be-
tween the states and the national gov
eminent.
aWere national commission to have
power to fix interstate rates, this would
become prominent feature in national
politics. with all the evils of wirepulhng
and rivalry of interests that would en-
tail. Following federal control of rail-
way rates, on the same principle would
come the federal regulation of quaran-
tine, next insurance companies, next
divorce laws, then public roads and SO
on. The thing runs to unimaginable
lengths.
"This is substitution Of federal con-
troll for state control. The trend Of all
this is leading the country to an i'm
perial, consolidated government, al.
though we have constitution made
on purpose to prevent that very thing

suddenly called out:

Rudyard Kipling, in the November Nc
Cures, projects himself into the twenty
first century, and flies across the skies
from London to Quebec in an airship
postal packet. sNith the Night MaiI''
gives Kipling's wonderful constructive
imagination free play. With the same
art by which he can tell of a liners en-
CINE room 80 that you smell the bilge
and feel the stuffy, oily heat, he makes
the strange highways Of the sky, the
marvellous machinery and the jolly fell
lows of the airship service so wildly
our own that they grow as familiar as
travel experiences OF today.
Inside the steel-skin of the packet
Kipling has created a new world OF
states and mechanics by which she hurls
herself along the five-mile lanes at six
teen miles second, and outside there
are strange traffic and new perils above
a strangely colored earth. Human ma.
ttIre only IL familiar. The captains oil
the packet stamped with the clean free
air of their service might be a new breed
Of salty Atlantic shippers, perfected but
unchastened.
New and undreamed- of perils beset the
navigators of the air, and in the brief
twelve-hour run Kipling's reporter sees
d tramp's crew rescued as their storm
battered hulk hnrtles down through
space, and feels his own ship tossed in
mile-long yaws as it shoots through the
worthless and blowouts and electric ten
sions of tempest of the upper air.
When the sun has topped the curved
Atlantics eastern rim, there is time for
a look down on the earth's changed face
and for a little gossip of mundane af-
fairs which shows the old world a happy
enough place in A. d. a025.

Insurance Company to Re-
sist Proceedings.
LEGALITY OF THE ACTION
OF Prosecuting Attorney Questioned
Challenge company's Charter and Ex-
istence-Mutual Benefit, New Jer-
sey, Pays Nothing to Elections.

New York, Oct. 31.-Both the New
York Life and Mutual Life, it IL be-
lieved, says the Tribune, will fight the
quo warranto proceedings begun in the
circuit court of Akron, @, by Prosecut-
ing Attorney Hargelbarger on Saturday,
to GUST these two companies from the
state. Doubt is expressed here as to
the legality of such proceedings. A
lawyer interested in one of the COM
panies affected, said Sunday night:
"Presuming that the press dispatches
are correct, it would seem that district
attorney has usurped the functions be-
longing to the insurance commissioner
or the attorney general of Ohio. Quo
warranto proceedings virtually challenge
the legality of such proceedings. How
this can be done in the present instance
| fail to see"
Frederick Frelinghuysen, president of
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance COM
pany of Newark, N. j., in answer to
the request of Commissioner Folk of
Tennessee, has made an affidavit deny
ing that his company in the last 10
years has contributed anything for po-
litical purposes.
President Frelinghuysen deposes that
S6515S appropriated for special legis-
lation was not used for bribery or for
Improperly influencing legislators, but
was paid to accredited representatives
of the company in states outside of New
Jersey as counsel fees and for presents
ing to policyholders and legislatures the
reasons for or against certain legisla
ton.

CANNON MAY OPPOSE RATE BILL
Report That He Has Changed His View
on Presidents Programme.

Washington, Oct. 31.-From a source
close to Speaker Cannon comes informa-
ton indicating that he will break with
President Roosevelt on railroad rate leg
islation IT was Speaker Cannon who
jammed the Eseh Townsend bill through
the last Congress. He is quoted as hay-
ing said recently to person in his con-
iidenee: mo bin on the lines Of the
Esch- Townsend bill can pass the House
at this session This information was
drawn out in consequence Of general IN
terest excited by declaration made by
John Sharp Williams, the Democratic
leader, strongly supporting the presi-
dent. Should Mr.. Cannon break away,
the curious spectacle may be seen in
the coming session of Congress Of a
Democratic leader heading the fight for
the chief measure proposed by a Re-
publican president 1t is not certain
whether Mr.. Cannon meant that he had
abandoned the president or was merely
afraid that he could not control the
House. The presumption is strong in
favor of the former, as it has been said
that the speakers heart was not il the
fight he made last winter. He took his
stand after meeting at the White
House, at which the president let it be
known that he was not very urgent
for tariff revision. Mr.. Cannon is a
stand patter of the strongest sort, and
was willing to support a railroad rate
bill, or anything else, rather than have
the tariff disturbed The president drop
ped the tariff and Mr.. Cannon immedi-
ately took charge of the railroad rate
bill.

Washington, Oct. 31.-One of the great
industries of Massachusetts, and New
England generally is vitality interested

ions the duty on boots and shoes is raised
from fifty to sixty-five marks Ca mark
is approximately equivalent to twenty
five cents) per hundred kilos, according
to the cost OF the footwear, to eighty
five to $50 marks per hundred kilos. The
minimum duties under the new law of
from sixty to ninety marks are heavy
enough to prevent American competition,
but unless a reciprocity treaty is con-
eluded with Germany the maximum
duties will be imposed, and those duties
will make importations prohibitive. "In
the last few years." said R. w. Mundy
OF Boston, "we have been selling to
Germany enormous quantities of boots
and shoes, but the outlook for con-
tinuance Of this trade is gloomy, and
