NIMNO REPLIES
TO JUDGE COWAN
Is Glad Commission Rate
Making Is Lost
Cause.
To the Editor Of The Washington Times:

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
In his communication 70 The Wash
ington Times. which appears in your IS
sue of the I'D instant. Judge Cowan, of
Texas, virtually confesses that for the
present at least, commission rate
making, in this country, IS a lost cause.
1 believe II to be such and for reasons
which reflect the love OF liberty which
has been the guiding star Of our political
existence from the beginning. During
the protracted and thoroughly honest
and non-partizan discussion of the rate
question in the Senate. two governing
principles Of true Americanism came
clearly to view. namely:
l. Commercial liberty is a fundamen-
tai principle of our political Institutions.
firmly embedded in the Constitution of
the United States.
2. The judicial power Of the United
States" as the Constitutional guardian
and protector of commercial liberty. and
commercial rights. is the final arbiter
OF all questions arising in the mainten-
ance Of the principles Of commercial
liberty.
These two guiding principles Of our
Government became the emergent rules
of action in the Senate and finally die
tated the policy Of both the advocates
of limited and Of broad court review.
As you remark editorially, Judge COwau
is one or the great lawyers OF the country,
and one of the most eX perienced in Htipa-
tion relating to interstate commerce and
It's problems" Besides. as all admit ne
is gentleman Of high character ana OF
undoubted sincerity His strictly legal
aTgument-is ingenious and exceedingly
able. But L desire TO commend 10 him
the example set. by the great statesmen
or the Senate, who. by a practically
unanimous vote, through their own
processes Of reasoning, became converts
20 me IDEA that commercial liberty. as
determined in concrete cases by the Fed
tTdI JUDICIARY, is the paramount prin-
Clple or government in this country.

was cut down to meagre and this

made by the Clement adherents who
claimed 80 or more and ia spite OF the
$50 Rut and Heralds which were dump
ed into the post Office every day. Pot
ter's defeat by Brown was not unex-
pected but under the circumstances
coming into the field at such late
hour he made a remarkably tine run.
The success Of the entire Republican
Justice ticket was entirely unexpected
and especially gratifying as the Fus-

mentary vote in town running "a ahead
of his ticket. Sheriff Wilson also re

persistently until the chilly feeling is
gone and the flow of urine is natural.
Doan' Kidney Pills have saved Ben
nington people much suffering.
II. j. Taylor, proprietor of the Put
nam House livery, living on Pownal

al wears | suffered from backache dir
ecly over my kidneys. 1t came on and
went away at intervals although for
the past two or three years it annoyed
me almost constantly. | also had head

kidney secretions we're too frequent
and became cloudy in appearance after
standing. was advised to try Doan s
