SAYS IT'S INCONSISTENT
Judge w. r. smith Points to Flaw in
Presidents Message.

Judge William R. Smith, solicitor for
Kansas for the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway company, has given
careful perusaI to that portion of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message which relates
to the regulation of railroad rates, and
has found, in the presidents recon-
mendations on this subject, what he
declares to be an obvious inconsistency,
and which would work hardship on
roads honestly conducted in order that
an OFFENDING road might be punished.
In discussing today this feature of
the message Judge Smith said:
The president in his earnest en-
thusiasm is guilty of an obvious non
sequitur in suggesting a remedy for
giving rebates o. other advantages to
favored shippers He says:
Tt sometimes happens at present
not that -~te is too high but that a
favored shipper is given too low a rate.
In such case the commission would
have the right to fix this already es-
tablished minimum rate as the maxi
mum, and it would need only one or
two such decisions by the commission
TO cure railroad companies of the prac-
tice Of giving improper minimum rates.
Following this he urges:
I ask this legislation not only in
the interest of the public but in the in
terest of the honest railroad man and
the honest shipper alike, for it is they
who are chiefly jeOparded by the prac-
tees of their dishonest competitors
"The application of the presidents
remedy would have the effect to penal
lie roads honestly conducted in order
that one offending road might be pun
ished for giving rebates or showing 9TH
er favoritism. To illustrate: Assuming
that there are five trunk lines carrying
freight from New York to Chicago, one
of them by the rebate system or other
wise gives a shipper a rate on mer-
chandise at or below the bare cost of
transportation. The interstate COM
merce commission discovering this, fol-
lowing the remedy suggested by the
president, fixes a maximum charge
from Chicago to New York for the kind
of merchandise so carried at the rate
which the favored shipper received over
the offending line. The four other
roads, if not included in the order
however innocent of wrong doing,
would, of necessity, have to carry the
commodity at the new and lower rate.
Thus the protection which the presi-
dent says the honest railroad should
have, and which should not be leopard
ed by the practices of dishonest COM
petitors would fail utterly. and the
punishment of one offending road re-
suit IN an equal punishment of four
others wholly innocent whose officials
may have been striving to obey the law
to the utmost letter. It is a maxim of
the law that it is better for nine guilty
persons to escape than for one inno-
cent man to suffer. The adoption of
the presidents remedy would reverse
the rule, and, in practical operation,
make the maxim read in its applica-
ton to the illustrative case: It is bet
ter for four innocent railroads to suf-
fer than for one guilty one to escape. .

RULE OR NOTHING
Irish Nationalist Serve Notice That
Nothing Else VIII Do.

Dublin, Dec. e.-The Irish National
convention was opened at the Man
sion house this morning under the
presidency of John Redmond. There
was a good gathering of members Of
parliament and delegates from all
parts of the country. Special interest
was taken by those present at the con-
vention in the advent of the new Lib
eral administration of Westminster
In this connection the following reso-
luton will be proposed:
I'VE solemnly assert that no new
system of government in Ireland will
be accepted as satisfactory except a
legislative assembly freely elected and
representative of the people with
power to make laws for ireland and
an executive government responsible
to that assembly and this convention
declares that the Irish National party
cannot enter into an alliance with or
give permanent support to any Eng
lish party or government which does
not make the question of granting
such an assembly and executive to
ireland the cardinal point of its pro-
gramme."

PREDICTS WAR.
General ChaTee Says United states
VIII Fight Again Some Day.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 6.-At a re-
ception in his honor last night Gen.
Adna r. Chamee, of the United States
army, predicted that the United
States again will go to war. This pre-
diction was made in General Chaffee' s
address regarding the work of The
army. He said:
Gentlemen, war will come again.
There are plenty of men in this room
who will see our country at war again.
Not on our own soil perhaps. You
must remember that we have now be-
come one Of the nations of the earth.
We have great interests to defend.
when that war comes we must be
intelligently prepared for it. Modern
war is not what war used to be. No
one is now fitted to command troops
who is not a scientific and well trained
man. Modern war must be sciep-
tificalIy treated to save human life
''The japanese are a military people
but we are not. We do not get on
with military preparations as they do
but we should be ready for conflicts. .

CAN'T BE AN INDIAN
Without the Previous Consent of secre-
taA.y Hitchcock.

Washington. Dec. 5.@Justice Duen
has rendered a decision affirming the
judgment of the district supreme court
in the case OF Willis c. West against
Secretary Hitchcock. West, having
married an Indian woman, claimed
that he thereby became 'by adoption
a member of the Choetaw tribe to
which the woman belonged, and was
entitled to an allotment Of land in In
dian territory. The secretary denied
srouna that the alleged adoption had
never received the approval of the in
terror department. West then sought
by mandamus proceedings TO compel
the secretary to recognize the adoption.
The trial court held that tne answer OF
the secretary showed that his rulings
involved The exercise Of discretion and
could not be controlled by mandamus.
and in this view of the case the ap-
pellate court concurs.
