DEMAND is FOR REFORM.
Honest Dealings, or Political nevoiu
ton Certain.

~ IS IN the courts that reforms and
revolution usually start The great
English revolution OF 1855 started
with the ship-monoy case. in which
John Hampden resisted the unlawful
tax Imposed on carts and carriages by
Charles the First The American
revolution OF 1896 started with the
prosecution Of certain men in Boston
for resisting ~.th arms in their hands
certain edics OF George the Third.
The French revolution really started
as a practical movement with the re-
fusal OF the parliament Of Paris. the
highest law court In France. to regis.
ter a tax which had been decreed by
the French king And finally our own
great civil war was produced mainly
by the bred Scott decision rendered
by the supreme court of the United
States, IL is judicial resistance TO
usurpation, rather than legislative
programm es that produces effec
tive popular resistance Where the
judiciary s Independent. as il is in the
states Of the union at this time. the
people follow the Judges But where
the judges are partisans or known
tools OF powerful interests. they re-
bel. That is why one great legal con.
troversy arouses the public more than
any or all the debates in legislatures
and all the harangues of lecturers and
spell-bnders Hence the importance
OF the North Carolina controversy
over the rate law of that state. The
people despise the Federal judges ap-
pointed by Roosevelt at the behest OF
corporations, and respect the judges
elected b. themselves. They will not
yield TO usurped authority SO long as
they have leaders whom they can safe
ly trust The time has, therefore,
come when We are sure to have either
reform or political revolution Let
the administration take warming.

WATCH FOR MITTEN SLEEVE.
Promises to Be Generally Worn on
Autumn Froeks.

The short sleeve fad has been car
ried 10 the point OF caricature and
has had long career. So some change
is due. and while the short sleeve will
unQuestionably be much worn
throughout the summer and will al
ways have its place for certain types
of dress. II seems probable that We
shall see the mitten sleeve upon a
great many of the dressy frocks in
the autumn.
The upper part of the new sleeve
is usually but little changed. though
some lovely sleeve designs are in
such sheer material as chiffon or net
finely tucked in horizontal lines along
the inner arm down to a point just
below the elbow and fall in a droop-
ing clinging pun so far down, while
below the elbow the sleeve fits closely
and some form OF short cap or kimono
drapery forms an outer sleeve.
Even when the sleeve is short the
tucked and soft falling sheer pun is
liked The best of the new tailored
frocks show a disposition toward long
sleeves

Red uced Railroad Rates.

The question Of railroad rates,
either fixed by the states on transpor-
tation within the state. or fixed BY the
United States on interstate business,
must eventually come before the
United States supreme court on the
question of constltutionality The
pressing issue is VIII ether the rate
reductions shall 20 into effect at once
or by injunction issued by the lower
federal courts be postponed until each
case is reached and is decided by the
highest court This matter OF the
railroads being able TO take advan.
tage OF all the laws delays was the
contention of the Democrats when the
railroad rate bill was being discussed
in the senate. and the Culberson
amendment, which the Republicans
defeated was intended TO cure that de
feet in the law. Regarding the same
delay under state legislation the
question is one OF state rights. and
whether the reduced rates can be
held up by the injun elton of an in.
ferior federal court issued by a judge
in evident sympathy with the rail
roads. when the natural order Of pro
cedure would be that the case should
go TO the state supreme court and
thence to the United States supreme
court In the North Carolina cases
the railroads were forced by Gov.
Glenn to acknowledge the supremacy
Of state courts and the reduced rate
has already gone into effect

been introduced rather late in the sea

proper sphere is most obviously the
