WEDNESDAY, DEoEMBER 12, 1oOs.

France and Spain have agreed to send force of 5000 soldiers into Mo- rocco, If necessary. to maintain order there. But an Arab merchant. writ |, ing in The North American Review, shows how unintelligent and mistaken is the whole policy of .he powers, as determined at Algeciras. It Is the old game of an attempt to fit a square pes in round hole that the powers arc making in endeavoring to refot a Mohammcdan country on Christian lines. This merchant shows that the effort to carry out the arrangements made at Algeciras will make matters worse rather than better in Morocco
 The truth Is that there s -lore or less elumsiness in the efforts of al! great governments to control smaller countries Morocco claims 10 be inde- pendent. butreally has no independence. We are having trouble in our efforts 10 control a slice of American territory known as the Philippine Islands. and in the end 1t may he a cause of great complications.

MoNTGoMERY sHIPPERs LEMANp
 JUSTICE.

For more than year the shiT IFS of Montgomery have worked faithfully, patiently and with even temper to se- cure an adjustment by the railroads of freight rates from the West to Mont gomery. The railroad AciaIs have put an end to their patience by natiy refusing to. place Montgomery on an equality with other cities ana the ship pers through the Montgomery Freight Bureau, announce that they will appeal to the Interstate Commerce Commis. sion.
 This determination on the Iart of the Freight Bureau is the result of a denial of a petition sent to the atsroad managers on November 8. The Adver- tiser gives space this morning to ilb- eraf extracts from this pectiop 10 show the justice of Montgomery's claim Therein is set forth a condition that is unreasonable. 1t Is shown to be utter ly impossible for Montgomery mer- chants to compete with merchants of other cities having no better facilities, because of the arbitrary trsdtrcnr ac- corded this city In the matter of freight rates. The petition shows that illegal rates are being made neighbor- ing cities on account of, competition between railroads. This try -smpet.- ton between the railroads serves to deny just competition between nler- chants of the cities.
 According to the petition Montgomery shippers have been long suffering. They ask only for the things that the railroads are giving to Birmingham. Mobile and Pensacola. They. hold that in denying Montgomery these rates and in discriminating against Mont gomery the railroads are violating the third section of the Interstate Com merce Act. They remind the railroad officials that these determinations iu freight rates are bringing the common carriers of the country into popular disrepute and that inslstence upon such course merely serves to widen the gulf between the people and the cor porations, a gulf that Is already too wide for public safety.
 
 equitable treatment of Montgomery, Mir. W. F. yandiver has led as he so often leads when the interest of Montgomery Is at stake. Mir. Vandiver has been conservative and he has gone about it in the intelligent, businesslilxe man. ner that has marked his course through life. After more than a year of hard work. much travel and self-sacrifce. he has reached the end. There is no course open to Montgomery but to sue for it's rights.
 We hope that the railroad officials will yet see the justice of Montgomery's s contention but if they persist in deny ing the petition of our business Then they must expect a legal fight. And in this fight the shippers are bound fo xriN

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms Is the Prime Cause of so Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 . BrIght's Disease.
1t Is Easily curabIe In the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- tion Is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many physi- clans are of indifferent 6r doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is to apply . reliable kidney and liver remedy on the fSsf GAbesTa1cs of the symptoms. A little uneasiness in the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs arc matters of small moment in the estilna- tion of strong men and women, yet they have q serious meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffering and need help, which must be forth coming at once to prevent serious, per. haps fatal consequences. few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of ihcaiculable value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar in bottle of Priekly Ash Bitters when the disease is yet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars in doctors bills, besides the suffering that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself in the body. The excellent curative power of Prick1y Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally eficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as last resort, in cases that defed their best efforts, with the most brilliant results, and it has shown its superiority over the many so-ea1led kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in instances innu. merabie.

No Regard for the states

Hhlladelphla Record.
 Citizens who still cherish the old fashioned doctrine that the Federal government should have no more pow. CT than is necessary for maintaining the Union of States have read with feeling akin to dismay the Presidents drastic suggestions of Federal control over all the affairs of the people. There IS scarcely passage in this long mes sage from beginning to end that does not breathe the spirit of imperialism. With studied care it's author refrains from mentioning the States except to disparage their governments or attack their rights While the. character of the message is universally recognized, some supporters of the administration avoid its discussion. and others hail it with approval in that 1t jumps with their notions and predilections in be- half of what they call a strong" gov ernment.
 As matter of fact. to use a favor ite phrase of the President, the Con ing, if he had his own way he would make clean sheet of the Constitu- tion. to write into 1t his ideals of gov ernment as plainly revealed in his mes sage Is this an eXaggeration? Read the passage in which the proposes to further extend control of the Federal government over the great corpora tions, so that there would be no room States With the conBummation of this policy the antitrust laws of the sev- erat states would become a mere null l. tY, and the States themselves would lie helpless at the feet of the Federal gov ernment and the corNnrations.
 Not content with this enormous stretch of Federal power. the Presi- dent proposes that the Federal gov ernment shall regulate the hours of la bor and interfere with the relations of employer and employe. as well as with the more intimate relations of husband and wife. He wants a uniform divorce law for New England and South Caro- lima. for California and Illinois, with out regard to their different social GUS toms and opinions. He would confer on the Federal government power to lew progressive taxes on inheritances and incomes. thus deprivine the States of q necessary source of revenue.

Perkins Would Prevent RepetitiOu OE
 CastelIane Marriage.
 Washington Dec. 1l.--Unless the Supreme Court should change its views, there seems no question but that the general government may constiu- tionailv impose an inheritance tax was an opinion laia down today In the House by Representative Perkins of New York, who spoke at some length on the subject.
 Expediency, according to the opeaker, was the only question that should be debated in connection with an inheri- tance tax He said that there was no reason that man having fifty mil lions to dispose of should assert the right to give every dollar of t to his children.
 If the father harbors the Cesire that his descendants should be enormously rich peolpe in the community, this Is vulgar desire entitled Q 0 consid- eration," he said. Certainly 1t Is no advantage to have daughters if they are allowed to inherit sum so vast that 1t becomes a temptation to some worthless foreign nobleman to marry them,
 Recent scandals connected with two Of America's best known rich families gave Mir. Perkins an opportunity to say that it is no advantage to Miss Van derbilt or Miss Gould that enormous fortunes attracted the eager gaze Gt foreign fortune hunters" Ours" he added, lis still the only land of ro- nance, the only land where the majori ty of men marry without considerins solely the patrimony of their brides. If diminished inheritance Keeo American heiresses at home and render them in- eligible n the eyes of for eiSl husbands. their happiness will be increased and the prosperity of the land will not be diminished"

 The New York Commercial concludes long and temperate editorial on the Japanese question with these words; Our Federal government is a mighty institution. but 1t should be careful how 1t makes treaty promises that 1t cannot keep without violating States Righs. The Commercial had gone carefully over the matter of the .reaty with Ja- pan which Roosevelt says stands above and superior to any of the laws Of California, and incidentally alluded to the Presidents implied threat of using the army to enforce his own views. and [ also mentioned the movement beius made to have the matter tested in the Federal courts.
 The language we have u ted is we'll worth considering by thc .reaty-mak- not at all creditabe to our government to make treaty with a foreign power and then find itself unable l. comply with the articles of that treaty, but II is still more discreditabIe to enter into . treaty that ought not to Le lept. The plain inference to be drawn from The Commercials language Is that 1t does not think the President $ i., the right in his contention. but that the authori- ties of San Francisco are thoroughly within their legal and constitutional rights The Richmond Times Dispatch noting that there are numerous points at which State and Federal powers con. fiict," adds;
 The elimination of those points and the removal of those differences is a task for the highest statesmanship and should not be made the occasion for reading a community ecturG for do. ing exactly what the President would ces.
 Cur contemporary takes large chan ees when it undertakes co sa.' what Roosevelt would do under any. circum- stances. because he himself doesn't seem to know in many cases, but the paper touches on a serious question when it speaks of the elimination ard removal of the various :Voints of con- ffict between Federal and State pow CTS. The plain tendency If the hepu6- lican party. from its President down Is to eliminate the rights and powers of the States and build up a cc- tralized government that will beysu2rome. This is so plain that it should rot require any argument. It is apparent to all observers. This Japan trouble is mere ly an incident. Roosevelt. 2uffed up with his own exalted ideas of Importance and power never hesitates at anything that he sets his mind on, and depends on his party to uphold lis cncroach- ments on the liberties of the people and the constitutional rights Of the States.
 There is some hope shat Congress will scotch some of his dangerous am- bitions, though that body seems to be under his thumb. There 4s more hope that Democracy will be able to save the country from the centralizd- tion towards which it is tending If that hope fails there is little else to look to. A country ruled by Roose- veltism and Republication HiIl bear little resemblance to the Republic of the patriotic men who founded our gcV- ernment.
