The Devil in the Auto.

The idea that the chauffeur is re-
sponsible for the many accidents
caused by automobiles is controverted
by the evidence from Denver, where
the most destructive automobile is
owned and operated by minister. It
was presented to him by his congrega-
$tion to aid him in his spiritual work,
nut the devil seems to have gotten into
4 the machine, or perhaps he was lurking
under the seat when it was purchased.
1t has run away with the minister and

Cummins on the Tariff

Governor Cummins makes a clear ex-
position Of his tariff position in his
speech at Churdan today. It is difficult
to see how anyone can take issue with
his position except he wishes to main
tain the proposition that tariff schedr
ule even when it affords shelter for
monopoly which exacts unreasonable
prices from defenseless consumers is a
good thing and must not be- disturbed.
If it is a good thing, why does the re-
publican party profess disposition to
readjust the tariff at any time, even in
the remote futureg On the other hand,
if it is a good thing to revise the tariff
in order to deprive monopoly of its I'M
just advantage, why should not that
be done now as we'll as at some future
times That monopoly is in several
important cases abusing its privileges
in this way will hardly be disputed. ,
Governor Cummins is right on the
tariff and the position which he takes
will be that Of the republican party
before many months. 49,.

he is told that the horsepower of his
machine is about three times what he
knows it to be. He doesn't inquire
whether it was built with tainted

were obtained by fraud; whether the

Of far greater novelty than the aver
age coincidence has been the expert
ence Of Miss Josephine Lovett, who
will play Shirley Rossmore in Henry B.
Harris forthcoming production of
"The Lion and the Mouse.' Charles
Klein is the author of the play, and
it was in one of the earlier successes
of the same author that Miss Lovett
made her debut. The play was t'Hearts-
and it will be recalled as one Of tho
notable successes during it's period of
existence. After the opening perfor-
nance she did 50 well Mr.. Miller raised
her, salary and found it advisable to
cast her for better role. Before six
months she was playing the leading
part.
When Henry B. Harris was preparing
"The Lion and the Mouse,' Mr.. Klein
wanted Miss Lovett for Shirley Ross
more, but she was under contract with
last March that she completed her en-
gagement. Mr.. Harris Immediately put
her in the company at the Lyceum
theater, New York, and she played the
part continuously for five months, end
ing her connection with the Lyceum
company the first of this month.
In every city the company has thus
far visited, and where "The Lion and
the Mouse'' was seen previously, com
parsons have been made between the
work of Miss Lovett and her predeces
sor and credit given to the present ex.
ponent of the role. Mr.. Klein was
very anxious that she be a member of
the company thatEis exploiting his new
play, s Daughters of Men, but Henry
b. Harris regarded her as of too much
value in the cast of Lion and the
Mousse to accede to his wishes.

Too Easily: Satisfied.

Governor johnson s keynote speech at
Red Wing was almost all the way a
speech in complete harmony with the
ideas maintained by A. L. Cole, his
republican opponent, but he took issue
with Mr. Cole on one important PROPOSE
ton. MI. Cole was the first to insist
that the main need of the time in the
line Of railroad reform was the vigorous
enforcement of existing laws. That
was the point most emphasized in his
Kenyon speech. But Mr.. Cole has also
declared in favor Of an amendment to
the law, which will put the orders of
the railroad commission into imme date
effect, Notwithstanding appeal to the
courts, and make them effective unless
and until they are set aside by some
judicial act. This proposition Governor
Johnson declines to agree to. 1t is a
vital question, and presents another real
issue in the campaign.
Governor johnson followed Mr.. Cole
in saying that enforcement Of the law
was the greatest need, and gave his
opponent no credit for his declaration
along the same line. Instead he said:
"In a discussion Of this question my
opponent, if correctly reported, has pro-
posed as a solution Of the railway rate
| question the adoption Of new laws. This
is the familiar plan proposed to post
pone and evade action. With the adop'
ton Of the reciprocal demurrage bill.
killed by the last legislature, the laws
of Minnesota are both efficient and suf'
fcient''
In other words, the governor does not
concede that there is any need to expe-
dite the orders of the railroad COM
mission. He is willing to leave it Sc
that rate reductions ordered by the
commission shall be nullifed by ap-
peals to the courts, postponing the re-
auctions for anywhere from one to -four
years. In the Nebraska case it took
five years to get decision.
Mr.. Cole not only wants the laws we
have vigorously enforced, but he wants
the machinery put in such shape thai
the public can get speedy relief from
any extortion or discrimination. If we
rest with Governor Johnson's program
our "vigorous enforcement of the
present laws will run against lega
snags at every step. The railroads have
plenty of lawyers with time on thei1
hands, who can play battledore will
the commission s orders and deprive the
people Of any benefit for years, unit
conditions may have entirely changed
and some new relief is needed. The
railroads can snap their fingers at "vig
orous enforcement as long as we are
Econtent with the present law. Let US
not only enforce the law, but make its
enforcement prompt and effective.
The governor seems to have faller
into lamentable error, from which it i:
to be hoped he will recover before. thu
end Of the campaign.

Studies in Constitutional. History. BY James
o. Pierce The II. w. Wilson company, Mime
apolis. 12mo, PIP. $50. $1.50. -,,s.-

/ These chapters are the fruits Of the
authors studies thru many years at the
bar and upon the bench, and especially
during nearly two decades as lecturer
in the University College Of Law. They
appear in substantially their original
form Of lectures, addresses and book re-
views, a form in which the busy scholar
commonly offers the best results of his
thinking. All of them deal with inter-
esting questions of constitutional jurls-
prudence and history, and together they
constitute valuable textbook upon SUB
jects Of great practical consequence.
|. In particular chapter VIII, 1.-THE Eth
les Of Secession" is a luminous and elo-
quent refutation Of the theory always
maintained in the SOUTH and lately urged
with renewed vigor, that secession was a
political and moral right under the fed
eral constitution, and it's armed suppress
sion In the sixties but an exercise of I'M
authorized force. Even such men as Sen
ator Lodge, President Woodrow Wilson,
Professor Albion w. Small and General
Francis A. Walker, accredited teachers
in the north, have perversely or laZlly
aided in perpetuating this doctrine. It is,
therefore, of prime Importance that the
utter baselessness of it should again be
made clear. Judge Pierce has performed
this duty effectively and with evident
relish, yet in such admirable temper that
all may follow him with pleasure. This
paper, and some others of the series
bearing upon the same topic, should be
In the hands Of every young man who
aspires to intelligent citizenship.
Every page of the volume CLOVIS with
the loftiest patriotism. From the open
ing chapter, ''The Spirit of '76,' to the
last, entitled "America's Place in His
tory" the reader finds just grounds 70,
a wholesome national pride; and one
might seek long and far without finding
better writing, or an author inspired by
a finer spirit. 1t is more than, a merely
useful book-it is one which presents
exhaustive research and accurate infor-

that the young men Of our university

A Cuban Appeal.

La Discussion, the leading government
paper in Havana, saw the drift of
things before the president sent Mr..
Taft to Cuba. It recognized the immi-

loss Of Cuban independence. 1t there
fore made an appeal to the rebels and
to- the government party to get togeth-

itude or appreciation on the part of La
Discussion of what the Americans did
for Cuba, but rather disposition to
speak Of the possible American inter
