STATES RIGHTS AND INTERSTATE
HATES


The name of Senator Morgan Of Ala
bamo from the first has figured in the
list Of senators who would oppose any
increase Of national power TO control
the railroads, but there has been some
curiosity as to what grounds he would
select to justify his opposition. That
he should select the states rights theory
is only natural when we reflect upon
the venerable senator's antecedents.
Nor is his argument inconsistent, il
we assume the premises of state SOW
ereignty as they were held as funda-
mental tenets of the democratic party
forty or fifty years ago. a time when
Senator Morgan's public career was al
ready in full swing. Nothing, indeed,
could be more repugnant to states-rights-
ism, resting on the strict construction
principle Of Jefferson, Calhoun, Buch-
anan and many more modern cham
pions, than the employment Of central
lied national power to control corpora
tons created by the states. And If the
states rights theory had been accepted
by the American people the federal gov.
eminent would today be utterly power
less to respond to any of the vital pub
lie needs growing out of the develop
ment Of transportation and industry in
general.
But states-rightsism is as dead as
Pharaoh. The country, its business and
commerce, its laws and life, have
grown utterly away from it, and to the
fact that the national government was
designed to be and at all events must
be as big as the nation and big enough
to meet its needs. none OF these being
more vital than control Of the vast
commerce flowing across state lines,
which the states themselves are inca
pable of controlling.
Nothing in the whole course of the
senate debate is more preposterous than
Senator Morgan bringing forth as an
obstacle TO national control of inter.
state rates an outgrown and castoff
constitutional theory which has been
invoked against every great step of ma
tional progress, theory which for a
decade has been discarded. even from
democratic party platforms.

THE COMING GRAND JURY

Within a week or ten days the pre-
llminary steps will be taken for calling
the grand jury, which has been ordered
10y the judges of the district court, 1t
is two years since the last grand jury
sat in this county and the summoning
at this time is in conformity with the
policy adopted by the district judges
some time ago for grand jury inquisi-
ton at least once every two years.
The special purpose of the grand jury
is to probe into offenses against the law
for which evidence is not readily OBJ
tanned. or which might be covered up
and protected by those who would have
to be depended upon in the ordinary
course of prosecution. The grand jury
in particular is expected to investigate
crookedness in public Office and safe
guard the people against recreant public
officials
There is always more or less indefinite
talk about alleged graft, bribery or rake
off in public office. If there is any sub
stantial foundation for such rumors the
grand jury should locate it and bring
true bills against any and all implicated
by credible evidence in illegal practices.
Our past experience with grand jury in
QUESTIONS, however, has not been very
fruitful of results, because those who
have been most active in circulating
reports detrimental to the integrity Of
our local public officials have been la
mentally lacking when called upon to
produce the proof. Whether they will
do any better when they have another
opportunity next month to make good
remains to be seen.
The grand jury is supposed to clear
the atmosphere, and inasmuch as
Omaha is to start out about the same
time with a new deal in its city gov
eminent 1t will be good idea to have
the atmosphere cleared again with a
bright sky for further progress and
prosperity.

AGAINST THE IMMUNITY BATB."

AGAINST THE IMMUNITY BATH"
The action of Judge Mcpherson at
Kansas City and Judge Lands at Chi
cago overruling immunity pleas of rail-
road officials under indictment for vio-
lations Of the federal laws prohibiting
final decision of the supreme court of
the United States at least on some
phases of a subject which has assumed
great Importance. The decision Of
Judge Humphrey in the case of the in
dicted beef packers to the contrary eff
feet could not be carried up to the SUI
preme court because as the law stands
the federal government is not allowed
an appeal in criminal cases. that priv
ilege being enjoyed only by the de-
PENDANT, who, Of course, will not APP
peal against a decision in his favor.
1t now rests With the indicted rail-
road officials. whose immunity defense
has been overruled by Judges McPher-
son and lands, whether the supreme
court shall have the opportunity Of
passing finally on the efficacy OF the
immunity BATH 1t is greatly to be
hoped that they have sufficient conf
dence in Judge Humphreys decision to
ask the court of last resort to apply
its protection in their cases, as that
would settle the question once and for
all in the most expeditions way now
available. Even if the bill pending in
congress giving appeal right to gov
eminent as we'll as defendant should
pass, there will be long delay in getting
the immunity question under it to the
supreme court.
This much, however, is now definitely
ascertained that the inferior federal
courts take Numerically opposite
views Of the virtues of the Immunity
bath" This is an important point
gained for public interest since it adds
to the multiplying perils for corporation
officials and agents who violate the law.

When 1t comes to deciding what col

is TO declare by negation what institu-

Those senators who have subjected the
president to criticism, because he consulted
with his friends IN regard to the question
Of rate legislation, holding that IL was in
terfering with the legislative functions
met with complete answer from Senator
Dolliver OF Iowa, who said that he thought
1t Just as respectable and right for him to
hold counsel with the president OF the
United States as for some of his colleagues
in the senate to hold counsel with the pres
idents Of the railroads.
OF course there IL no reason why mem
bers OF the senate should not speak with
railroad presidents in regard to this ques-
ton. The railroad presidents have right
to be heard and the senators have a right
to get all the information they may from
them. But there is far more fear Of rail-
road interference with the legislation than
there is of executive interference. The
presidents of the railroads represent only
one interest in the country important
though that interest is. The president Of
the United States represents all interests
and IL is but natural and right that he
should consult frequently with friends in
the senate in regard to a matter which
he considers fundamental for the welfare
OF the country.
