PRECEDENCE GIVEN
To HEPBURN LAW
State Regulation of Interstate
Commerce Seems on
Dangerous Ground.
ROOSEVELT is MYSTIFYiNG.
PLATFORM ADVANCED BY THE
RAILROADS is BELIEVED TO
HAVE THE APPROVAL OF CHIEF
EXECUTIVE.

Washington, March 21.-The presi-
dents evident sympathy with numbers
of prominent railroad men who have
expressed themselves in full accord
with the aims of the Hepburn law and
satisfied with its operations has mysti-
fled many observers. who have also
been unable to understand the appar-
ent misgiving with which the president
views much recent anti-railroad activ-
ity on the part of state legislatures.
It is now largely believed by the
shrewdest observers here in Washing
ton that the explanation Of this re-
markable consensus of views on the
part of President Roosevelt and prom
inent railroad men may be found in
the proposition that an effective and
constitutional regulation Of the great
railroad systems of the country can
only be had under the acts or author
ity of congress, through the interstate
commerce commission or otherwise
and by virtue of the interstate COM
merce clause of the federal constitu
ton.
The principal ground upon which
practical certainty that nearly every
thing a state government is likely to
do in regulation of rolling stock or
rates will trench on the federal prero-
gative of controlling interstate COM
merce Recent outgivings of the pres
ident follow closely along such lines.
A fuller and keener examination Of the
subject than has yet appeared has been
obtained from a prominent railroad
man who has been a party to recent
conferences. What he says is very inn
pressive and suggestive, though not,
doubtless. final, as follows:
The General Principle.
whatever power congress may
have to regulate rates of interstate
railroads is derived under the COM
merce clause of the constitution of
the United States. 1t is limited to
interstate rates. The power of a state
to regulate rates is limited to the ter
ritory of the state. Congress may not
legislate upon a railroad, or any other
subject, purely local to a state, nor
may a state extend the operation of
its laws beyond the boundary line
it from other states.
Having sole jurisdiction of the sub
ject, congress may sanction a given
interstate rate in either of two ways:
First, by positive act of legislation
fixing such rate, or. second. by per-
hitting a rate, voluntarily fixed by a
railroad, to remain in force without
to change it by legisla-
ton. For example, congress, through
the interstate commerce commission,
reduces the rate fixed by the railroads
on grain from Chicago to New York.
but takes no action on the rate on live
stock between the same points. In the
one case the rate has express legisla-

Elmer Smith Makes Promise
To the Court That He Will
Never Drink Again.
HE THUS ESCAPED A FINE.
CONVERSE HAS ENTERED TEN
PERANCE FIELD AND AWAITS
THE OUTCOME OF THE FIRST
CASE WITH INTEREST.

Judge w. c. Converse of the city
court, has invaded the temperance
field and he expects his venture to be
a complete success. Elmer Smith. a
middle aged man with a wife and five
children. was arraigned before him on
a charge of public intoxication. A pre-
vious offense was also charged against
Smith.
Smith entered a plea of not guilty as
he stated that he knew nothing of his
actions Wednesday. Two police Of
ficers then testified that the. man had
been quite drunk. Smith then made a
fervent plea for mercy from the court,
stating that he had a large family
which needed his support and that he
was not addicted to indulgence in
strong drink.
Given a Strong Lecture.
Judge Converse summoned Smith to
his private office and there he lectured
the man on spending his money for
drink when he knew that his family
needed all the money he could earn.
Smith stated that he realized this fact
and that he would swear never to again
enter a saloon or come down town
Rgain. He said that he rarely drank
whisky, but that when he did it re-
quired but small amount TO make
him drunk.
.Will you take an oath to leave
booze alone?" asked Judge Converse.
Il will, your honor" earnestly re-
piled Smith.
Judge Converse then asked Smith to
give his word and honor as man that
he would never again drink intoxicat-
ing liquors; that from this time on he
would keep away from temptation and
that he would work hard for the sup
port of his family and devote his wages
for their benefit.
Smith Took the Oath.
Smith stood before the police judgs
Converse with tears in his eyes for CIV
ing him a chance to reform and make
a man of himself. The case against
him was suspended, but Judge Con-
verse warned Smith that if he was
false TO his oath and ever appeared be-
fore him again, not TO look for the
slightest consideration.
Judge Converse stated that Smiths
family needed the money much worse
than the county did and that he gave
the man a chance TO redeem himself
because he seemed to really repent his
offense. If the experiment of admin
istering temperance oaths proves TO be
a success in this case. it is probable
that Judge Converse will adopt it as d
part of his administration of justice.

tive sanction, in the other implied
legislative sanction. In both cases the
two rates are equally within the pro-
lection of the commerce clause of the
constitution of the United States. All
interstate rates now in force, until
changed by the voluntary act of the
railroads, or by a ruling of the inter
state commerce commission, are, for
all purposes, lawful, and SO to the
same extent as if the various sched-
ules expressing them had been en-
acted into law by congress.
1.-THE fabric of interstate rates in
the United States may be wholly ar
tificial, illogical and unjust. 1t may be
conceded that some master mind will
sooner or later, devise a rate scheme
vastly better for all interests than
the one now in use. However this may
be, the interstate rates now in force.
taken collectively or separately, are,
