STATE AND FEDERAL RIGHTS.

Litigation now under way in Arkansas, like
that threatened IN Alabama, will carry to the
Supreme Court a contention which in the in
:erest both Of the states and of the federal
government should be promptly disposed of.
Both Alabama and Arkansas have passed state
laws attempting to prohibit corporations char
tered elsewhere from removing suits brought
against them from the state to the federal
courts. Both states are now trying TO enforce
this law by annulling the operating licenses Of
railroads whose counsel have exercised what
they considered an undOubted right TO prefer
one Jurisdiction 10 the other. Judge Wander
vanter, in the United States Circuit Court of the
Eighth Circuit, has just granted temporary
injunction against the Secretary of State Of
Arkansas prohibiting him from forfeiting the
license Of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railroad for defiance OF the state law and ar
ranging hearing the case at Little Rock on
October .
II is plain that there is clash here on the
direct issue of state versus federal rights-a

RRYAN Is SATIOR.

The news that the organizers of the various
Hearst Independence leagues in New York,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Illinois and Cali
fornia will meet shortly and try To form a
national Independence League (IncorporatedD
has been interpreted by nverhasty commenta-
tors as damper on Mr.. Bryan's semi-avOwed
candidacy for the Democratic Presidential nom
inaton. 1t is argued with some plauSiblhty
that Mr. Hearst and his followers no longer
consider Mr.. Bryan an ally in their cam
naign for the rehabilitation Of the Democratic
partv and that if expediency should seem to
dictate the exploitation of the Leagues incor-
porator and principles in 1908 Mr.. Bryan's
claims as the regular Democratic nominee
would be brushed aside as indiferenty as would
those Of any unknown like Governor johnson
or anv confessed conservative like Senator Cul-
berson or Senator Daniel
There is at present an undOubted coolness be
tween the Hearst and the Bryan forces. Mr..
Hearst has apparently never forgiven Mr. Bryan
for not taking the Hearst movement of 1904
more seriously and not throwing the Nebraska
delegation in the St Louis convention to him,
instead of giving its sixteen votes TO a casual
"also ram candidate like Senator C0ckrell. On
Mr. Rryan's return from Europe year ago the
aloofness of the Hearst newspapers was pro-
nounced and when Mr.. Hearst nominated
for Governor he decided to dispense with the
assistance which Mr.. Bryan would gladly have
given him In last fails canvass, though the
value of that assistance to candidate anxious
10 hold the regular Democratic vote was well
worth considering. The nominee of the Buffalo
convention chose TO fall outside the breastworks
fighting his own battle rather than 20 seem to
owe success to a former fellow radical who had
failed to exhibit political and personal graf
itude Justly assuming that a chllliness exists
in the Hearst camp toward Mr. Bryan's candi-
dacy. the elements in the Democratic party
which oppose the Nebrasian's nomination now
insist that Mr.. Bryan cannot win, and Is there
fore not available. because he will surely fall
between the two stools Of ultra conservative and
ultra radical opposition
But does Mr.. Bryan become unavailable as
