THE sUPREnE COURT DECISION.

gard to the definition therein APP

feet that the amendment attempt
ing to include "all transient mer-
chants and itinerant vendors, sell
ling to customers by samples or
by taking orders, whether for i'm
mediate or further delivery on
last Tuesday, was unconstitution-
al, because there are portions that
have reference to others than the
newly defined peddlers according
to all authorities upon the subject
of the definition, and who were
properly defined as such by the
previous revenue loss. Those who
only exhibit samples, and who do
not sell, or those who merely take
orders, for future delivery. are ex-
empt from the payment of the Ii
rense; but all others are included
The decision is largely based upon
Article 81 Of the Constitution,
which reads as follows, to-wi.:
"Every law enacted by the Cen
eral Assembly, shall mbrace but
one object and that object shall
be expressed. in its title.' The
Court holds, therefore, that the
caption of the act was not broad
enough to include such a radical
change in the previous law. The
syllabus If the decision is as fol-
lows:
|. Act 49 of 1904, amending section
II of Act 1O3 of 1900. is broader than
it's title. and, therefore. unconstitu-
tional in SO far as it purports to levy
a license tax on "all transient mer-
chants and itinerant vendors selling
to consumers, by sample or taking or
ders, whether for immediate or future
delivery"
,. Such license tax Operates on
commerce between different sections of
the State and discriminateS against
home merchants in favor of dealers
residing in other States: and the title
of the act did not give notice of the
Legislative intention to make such a
radical change in the matter Of license
taxation.
;. The license taxation Of CONNER
cial statesmen or travellers selling by
sample or by taking orders, for future
delivery, is not germane to the Ii
conSo taxation az 'naddlarS or haW-
kers.'' selling and delivering goods
carried by them on foot or on horse
back, or in vehicles or on watercraft.
1t is therefore ordered, adjudged and
decreed, that the judgment appealed |
from be annulled, avoided and revers-
ed, and it is now ordered and decreed
that this proceedings be dismissed at
plaintiffs cost.

Congressman Boutelle, of ILL
nois, lifelong, staunch Repub-
lican, was speaking on the ami
versary ofthe birthday of William
Mckinley. among other things
said:
mo people were ever brought face
to face with more utter dissolution than
that which confronted the men of the
South on their return from Appomat-
tOx. 1t was not alone that they had
lost the cause for which they had
fought; that their ranks had been sad
ly thinned by the war; that their
property confscated or DESTROYED.
Their whole social, industrial and
political fabric lay in ruins. Their
task was not the hopeful task of restOr-
ing an old order, bnt the we'll nigh
hopeless task OF bringing a new order
out OF chaos. But they set to work
with the courage and patience that
create hope and defy failure. And
they have triumphed gloriously. To-
day they areenjoying the fruits Of VIC
tory greater than was ever won in war
fare. And we of the north rejoice
with them in their prosperity, for are
they not our people, bone of our bone
and flesh of our flesh?
''The leaders of Southern drought in
1863 accepted the results of the war and
were willing to set to work to create a
new order of things on the ruin of the
old. They should have been allowed to
retain their natural leadership over
the ignorant whites and blacks. The
most unfortunate result of our mis-
cradle reconstruction policy was
that it destroyed the influence of the
old leaders, instilled into the minds
OF the blacks feelings of hatred, NAL
ice and all upcharitableness toward
their natural and wisest guides, and
arrayed the whites of all classes in
solid opposition to the negroes. The
fear OF ignorant negro domination
has persisted long after the danger Of
such domination has passed, working
often an injustice to the negro and al
ways greater injury to the whites.
The amelioration Of the political
situation in the South is problem
that must for years to come tax the
wisdom and patience of our greatest.
statesmen and philanthropists. We
OF the North have in years past made
the solution of this problem more diff
ficult for our Southern brethren. We
now owe them generous sympathy and
patience forbearance. Their task is
long one, and beset with peculiar diff
fculties. We should concede that they
have done and are doing what we
would under similar circumstances.
The solution of this grave and compli-
Gated problem cannot be fastened by
coercion. threats or abuse.
But whatever we of the north NAV
do. whatever the government may &C.
complish, the real burden of this pro-
blem rests on our brethren of the
South. In her work of solving this
problem the South could have no bet
ter, NO firmer friend, than President
Roosevelt, for all the South needs, be- 4,

Judge Thomas G.. Jones, former

Judge In that State, in an inter-
view few days ago, speaks very
highly of President Roosevelt
saying that his motives in regard
to the South have been misunder-
stood. The Booker Washington
incident is discussed by Judge
Jones in the interview at some
length. We regret that the whole
interview cannot be reproduced,
but clip the following paragraph
to acquaint our readers with the
Presidents real motive in reques-
ting the presence of Washington
at the much talked of luncheon:
.'The White House luncheon was not
studied, but . merely impromptu af-
fair, the President desiring to continue
talk with Washington about matters
concerning the welfare of his race.
Before he became President he had
taken luncheon, as many of the fore
most people OF the North had, with
Washington. 1t would be unjust to
the President to say that in his talk
he conceded, in the remotest degree,
that this action, abstractly or ethically
was in any way wrong or improper, or
that he regretted it, but it is equally
true that he did regret the unfounded
deduction which was drawn from it.
that he favored in any sense the adj
mixture of the races, or what we at
the South term and consider social
No man nOws realizes more
acutely than he does the improper in
ferences which ignorant negroes draw
from such an incident, and the change
which might thereby be effected in
their relations to their white neigh
bors, and in public tranquility and
content In the race relations and con-
3itoaS d the9 South. /"

Effects Of Rotten Air.

This winter has been distinguished by
steady cold weather, alleged by the medi-
cal fraternity to be conducive to good
health. There has been no variableness
except i'm the number OF degrees below
zero, until early last week when the caves
dripped for the first time since November.
Yet il seems as though never had there
been any more sneeziDg, coughing, aching,
groaning mortals in the clutches Of the
grip than this present season.
The Prevailing Distemper has stalked
abroad like an i'll tempered bully, strik-
ing out to the right and left and hitting
every body straight between the eyes.
Schools have been depleted, and il has
been possible TO proffer to the pastors
without EN- barrasment the frayed and
tattered excuse of Illness for non-atten-
dance at divine worship. When good,
snappy entertainments lack for patrons,
as they have lacked this winter, some
little confidence can be placed In a general
plea OF poor health on Sunday.
But why in the bracing atmosphere OF
thirty below should the units Of the
population be preyed upon by microbes
until they look as worm-eaten as the
leaves of a tree invested by forest tent
caterpillars If cold is bracing and
strengthening, we ought to be so vigorous
as to make Samson seem misersbly puny
in comparison.
One reason no doubt is that we are
inclined to hibernate as soon as cold
weather comes. We bank up our houses,
screw on the double windows, stop up
every crack and Granny, start our fires
