ment official. in the long run can make rate on any principle but a hard and fast mechanical one that excludes not only the exercise of intelligence and honest eX- pression, but even the appearance of such exercise of discretion, was clearly seen by the late Judge Cooley the first chairman of the interstate commerce commission.
 The supreme court of the United States has been able to protect us from those alterations of the interstate com- merce commission by virtue of the fact that the Congress had not conferred upon the comission the power to legslate.
 Should the Congress at any future time confer that power even though it do so under the seemingly unimportant and harmless form of comforting power to substitute a rate for the one condemned as unreasonable, it would hand us over to the tender mereies of a commission that at it's pleasure could fix rates In accor- dance with any theories of social pro- gress' that it might choose to espouse. Against such a commission we should find no protection in the constitutional safeguard that railway rates may not be made so low as to amount to the taking of property without due process of law. Rates made for the purpose of abridging the freedom to trade, and for the purpose of achieving the other objects that the interstate commission has sought to achieve would not be likely to violate that constitutional provision. That is proven by the fact that the present interstate commerce commission repeatedly has re- ported to the Congress that it cannot regu- states and with foreign nations in the manner in which it desires to regulate such commerce. unless it shall be empow- cred to fix minimum rates.

Receipts Light at Huntsville.

Huntsville, December 24-(Special.)-Re- ceipts of cotton in this market have been lighter this week than ever before al this season. Usually the farmers rush their cotton to market a week or two before Christmas and sacrifice it at any price offered in order to obtain money for the holidays. but this rule does not apply to this year. In spite of the light receipts of cotton the Christmas business here has been heavier than ever before, in- dicating that the cotton planters are now independent and not forced by necessity to sell at any price,

THE POSITION OF THE UNITED
STATES.

Premier Balfour at the banquet CIV
en- to the new American ambassador,
Whitelaw Reid, intimated that the
United States could not always main
tain it's position of stately isolation in
its purity. so great a nation,' he said
owing SO much to the civilization of
old Europe, sharing it's learning and
advancing it's science, can hardly ex-
pect to share all these things and yet
take no part whatever in the political
life which is an inseparable element of
them"
The British prime minister would ap-
parently lure us on to embroil our
selves with European alliances and Sc
cret treaties, but he should be able to
give us more potent reasons before he
expects America to fly into the arms OF
any European coalition. The United
States differs widely from most
European states in the fact that
II mas designs on none OF its neighbOrs
and is not an armed camp awaiting at
tack from without Or upheaval from
within. This country, on the contrary
is devoted to the arts of peace and its
armament, what there is of it, is built
''pon the theory of defense.
Generally speaking, this country is
willing and ready to do it's share tc
advance civilization, but it does not
yet believe that alliances are necessary
to that work. In fact, it is we'll as
sured that a great part of it's strength
in the present crisis of the worlds af-
fairs is due to the knowledge that il
has no alliances. China, Japan and
Russia equally trust the good inten-
tionss of this country, and they equal

with more uniformity and severity
than they are now.
Mr.. Taft evidently believes that the
jury system has something to do with
the lax enforment of criminal laws
and he does not approve of trying it on
the Philippines, even though it has
proved satisfactory with us. The
difficulties of getting proper jurymen,
hard enough in America, would be
doubled or trebled in the Philippines.
The opponent of corporal punish
ment has something to explain in
these figures. He may deny there is
any necessary connection between the
increase in murders and the decrease
in executions, but hard-headed people
will be apt to take exactly that view
of it.

the next day, ito take into their fur
Their consideration the Declaration Of
Independence"
On Thursday, July 4. 1776, the fol-
lowing entries were made in the Jour-
nal Of the Continental Congress:
Agreeable to the order of the day
the congress resolved itself into q
committee of the whole to take into
their further consideration the declar-
alton; and after some time the presi-
dent resumed the chair, and Mr.. Har-
rison reported that the committee had
agreed to a declaration, which they
desired him to report"
THE declaration being read was
agreed to as follows"
Then follows the complete docu-
ment.
AS sage old Ben Franklin is reported
to have said, Congress ordered the
declaration engrossed and signed sc
they should all hang together instead
of separately" Doubtless it was sew
eral days before the declaration was
engrossed and signed as it is now pre-
served, under glass, in the government
archives at Washington. 1t may have
been we'll into August before the last
of the Sc signatures was appended.
It is proper to call attention to the
fact that the Declaration of Independ-
ence, as agreed to, embodies the first
of tine resolutions respecting indie
tendency which were referred to a
committee of the whole congress-" Sat-
urday, June 8, 1875, and finally agreed
to by congress on Tuesday, July 2, fol-
lowing.
1t is made plain by these quotations
from the official journals of the Con-
tinental Congress that the people are
as the day on which to celebrate the
adoption of the Declaration of Inde-
day on which one of 1.-The resolutions
respecting INDEPENDENCE" as they
were quantity styled, was adopted, nor
do they celebrate the day when the
last one Of the immortal Sc members
of the Continental Congress wrote his
name On the great document, but they
do celebrate the day on which those
fearless men gave to the world the
reasons for their action and announced
that, for the support of this declar-
alton with firm reliance on the pro-
lection of Divine Providence, we mu-
tually pledge to each other our lives,
our fortunes and our sacred honor"

STRANGE CASE OF LAWYER
Thought to Have Been Drowned
Found Working on q Farm.

DES MONIES, Iowa, July 3.-Virgil
H. White, son of Fred L. White, Iowa's
most prominent democrat, mas been
found at Defiance, Iowa, working as a
farm hand, under the name Of Henry
Kirkhart
White was first missed a week ago
His clothing and hat were found on
the banks of the Des Moines river, ana
he was supposed to have been drown
ed. Relatives and friends dragged the
river for days.
White now admits that he left some
of his clothing and walked to Ames
and then "bummed" his way west to
Defiance, where he found work. His
published in the newspapers.
No cause for Whites action can be
assigned. His friends believe he was
insane. He had cash in the bank, a
good law practice and stood high So
cially.
The day he disappeared he had spent
playing golf and visiting with friends.
He went to the river and insisted in
taking out a boat in a rainstorm. =.
Some of his friends believe that he
was Tilted by a prominent society girl
and on this account desired to have it
believed ne was dead. After leaving

THE TONTINE POLICY ILLUS.
TRATED.

A contributor to an eastern publica-
ton in discussing deferred dividends
in life insurance makes use of this
striking Illustration:
Mr.. A goes into hat store to pur.
chase hat. He selects a silk hat cost
ing 81 and hands out $40 note, wait
does not offer to bring the change and
the customer reminds him that ne is
| that it is the custom of the house to
retain the change from all customers
until they have dealt with them twenty
years; that during that period many
will drop out from various causes and
the change which will naturally grow
to great dimensions in twenty years
will then be divided among the per-
sistent customers, and that it will be a
big thing
OF course, Mr.. A declines to buy his
hats in that way and probably there
after shuns that store, but he will buy
life insurance just that way.
The illustration is not quite fair, in
asmuch as the policyholder does not
expect to do business with the same
firm regularly. In buying a tontine
policy he bets that he will live out the
tontine period and draw down not only
mis- accumulations, but those of some
other policy holder who was unable to
hold on.
A good deal has been written about
the immortality of going into a scheme
part, at least of whose success is
prodicated upon some ones else fall
ure, but this is not so foreign to the
general course of business as to de-
serve especial structure. Thus far the
tontine policy has had the most mark
ed and facilitating effect upon the
companies themselves. If anything it
is the surplus funds which has demor-
e1iiHCu lAC IIISS nave
ducej speculation, extravaganza and
loose methods. With a dummy board
of directors it has been easy to work
the Equitable and it has been worked
Obviously, it could not have been
worked so hard had it's surplus been
regularly credited back to the real
owners, the policyholders.
Happily the tontine policy is rapid
ly becoming obsolete and it will need
only the example of the Equitable to
put it entirely out of business. It is
a dangerous element to life insurance,
and if the Equitable's troubles help to
kill it off, they will not have been in
vain.

THE INCREASE OF MURDER

The world has advanced over a long
course since the public execution of
criminals was a spectacle for men, wo-
men and children. Today we hide our
executions in the dead watches of the
night, prescribe by law who shall be
there and limit as far as possible what
Even with these mysteries thrown
about them, executions are revolving to
the sensibilities of the community. We
do not even want to hear about what
many are bound to stigmatize as "ju-
dicial murder"
Particularly is the community at
large stirred when it hears that a wo-
man is to be hanged. The country is
uneasy over the proposed judicial kill
Ing Of Ms. Rogers, the Vermont MUIR
deress. There is no pretense that she
is not cold-blooded slayer, but new
erthless, the public maintains it's SEN
sltlVe opposition to the killing of wo-
man, and the governor of the state, in
spite of his avowed determination to
let the law take it's course has three
times reprieved ner at the foot of the
gallows. Many people are of the opin-
ion that Governor Bell will finally rid
himself of the problem by committing
her sentence to life imprisonment. The
governor will thus acknowledge that
the sentiment against hanging a woman
who. under the law richly deserves its
extreme severity, is too much for him.
This is one side Of the picture. But
on the other is the array of figures ad-
Vanced by Secretary Taft in his argu-
ment against the extension of the Jury
system in the Philippines. Mr.. Taft
shows that since 1885 there have been
in the United States 131,951 murders
and nomicides, and 1886 executions In
1885 the number of murders was 1908.
in 1904 it had risen to S.S42. Mean
while the number of executions for
murder has remained about stationary
los in 1885 and 116 in 1904.
From these facts Mr. Taft argued
that murder and felonies are on the in
crease. and will continue to increase
until the criminal laws are enforced

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
ZEAL OUTRAN DISCRETION.

Rev. w. c. Pray, pastor of the Meth
odist church of Sheepshead Bay, N. Y.
has always maintained that he could
win a crowd from a Sunday baseball
game by preaching or holding meetings
outside the grounds. He tried it the
other Sunday with unfortunate results.
He arranged to have the meeting in
the same lot as that used by the base
ball clubs, and pulpit was erected not
catcher's box. When the game was in
full blast foul tips came bounding to-
tened to Dr. Pray. DR.. Pray opened
his meeting at 4:30 o'clock with an as
semblage of thirty three persons. Most
of them were women, but a few were
boys. There were seven men. All of
the boys except one serious ia ced
youngster ran to the ball field when
they heard the crowd shouting. More
than 5000 were crowded about the dia-
mond to watch the ball game
DR.. Pray was going along all right
with his attenuated meeting when
Kavanaugh, the star pitcher for the
Sneepshead Bay team, knocked out a
home run. The racket that arose would
have shamed a baby. 1t broke up Dr.
Pray's meeting entirely. DR.. Pray's
zeal outran his discretion.
