Radical Public Service Law.

New York, July IA system of cor
poration regulation more radical tnan
any now in force in the entire country
embraced in the provisions of the pub
lie service commission law, became
effective in this state today. The
act gives the commissions almost
unlimited powers V the public ser
vice corporations, and it gives to the
governor equally unlimited powers ov-
er the commissions. Any member of
either commission may be removed by
the governor upon evidence of neglect
eral charge of ineficiency. Five mem
bers comprise the public utilities com
mission for the metropolitan district,
each of whom is to receive a salary
of s15,O o a year. BY the terms of the
act, the rapid transit commissioners,
the state railroad commissioners, the
commissioners of gas and electricity
and the state inspector of gas meters
are retired from the public service
today.
Preparations are being made to test
the validity of the law in courts by
means of a suit to be brought in the
names of taxpayers who will complain
that the bill is unconstitutional, mas
much as the burden of the expense
falls On the taxpayers, who have no
voice in the appointment of the com
m~issioners.

SHAMS.

The tin front on a building is a
sham. It is like paint on a woman,
Or hair dye on a man; it fools no one
but the fool who ear it. No human
being can fool the world. We all know
each other. Paint and hair dye in
character are as obvious as they are
on the head. The sham is always de-
tected. The fakir always is found out,
the hypocrite always is caught. There
is NO sense in spending time and eff
fort to deceive people.

can whether it is a house or a life.

strain to be something else. An hon

Illinois Two-cent Rate.

Chicago, Ill, July Illinois two
cen rate law becomes operative to
day on all roads within the state. AS
a result of the law, the railroads have
withdrawn all special rates heretofore
granted to convention delegates, cler-
gymen, agents of charitable i1stitu-
lions and attendants at merchants
conventions. the validity of the law
will likely be attacked in the courts,
the general contention of the railway
officials being that the population is
inadequate to support the passenger
department on a two-cent basis. An
effort will be made to show that in
Illinois, the most populous of western
states, the greater portion of the po-
pulation-Chicago suburbanites- al
ready enjoy a rate of less than two
cents a mile.

u. S. OFFICIALS MAY FIGHT
TEXAS QUARANTINE

From FL Paso Herald.
The action of the state health Off
Ger Brumby of Texas in taking the
new tack barring from the state per
N suffering from tuberculosis has
stirred UP the marine hospital service
and from information received here
from Washington it has been unfav-
orably commented upon by the officers
of the service.
If state health officer Brumby in
sists on the quarantine it is said the
United States supreme our may
have an opportunity to pass upon the
constitutionality of the regulation.
According to the laws in force tu-
berculosis Is not in the list of diseases
against which either maritime or in
terstate quarantine may be enforced
by order of the government, yet On
the other hand it is recognized as a
menace to the public health in the
immigration regulations, which lists
it as one of the diseases on account
OF which immigrants shall be barred
from the country.
The government thus appears to he
on both sides of the question, so far
as concerns the issue of the fact and
the problem whether the disease is
one for which restrictions of the right
to travel and emigrate should be JUST
fed. It is pointed out that If Texas
should adopt and enforce C a poll
cy 1T would close that state, with
its peculiarly advantageous climate for
consumptives, against the incursion
of thousands who go there every year
for their health.
Other States May Follow.
This regulation would further mark
the initiation of a new policy, which
other states might ultimately enforce.
as Colorado at one time seriously con
sidered barring c-onsumptives, but was
unable to put the plan into effect be
cause the "lunger" trade IN that state
produces more wealth than all the
gold mines. As a business proposition
Colorado people didn't encourage inter
ference with the traffic.
The paramount question Is whether
Texas can make sucn a regulation
stand. There Is considerable opinion
among the medical and quarantine
authorities that the states regulation
might be held n violation OF the fed
erai constitutions guarantee TO every
citizen 10 determine the place OF his
residence and TO come and go at win.
At least. under this constitutional pro
vision the state would be compelled

Prohibition in the south

That there has been an astounding
growth Of prohibition feeling In the South
Is emphasized by the passage by the leg
islsture of Georgia Of a rigorous prohi-
bition act Not that the passage Of this
new law made so much difference to
Georgia, because she has had a local
option law since 1856, and the new law
really affects only fifteen of the States
13S counties. as the rest had already Sc
cured prohibition under local option laws.
The South is rapidly abolishing the sa-
loon, and it is said that back of the
movement is the desire OF the white
population to keep the negroes away
from liquor. In the current Independ-
ent. Mr.. Lovlck P. Winter says that the
prohibition movement in the South is due
10 the growth and propagation spirit of
various temperance organizations, sup
ported by the strong temperance in
fiuence Of the Baptist and Methodist
churches of the South
At any rate. 1t Is plain that throughout
the South the prohibition question is
well to the fore. Kentucky, the home
OF the bourbon. has a local option law
under which all but four Of her Il3 couE-
ties are dry" Tennessee has done away
with the saloon throughout the State
except Ia the cities Of Chattanooga, Mem
phis. and Nashville. Texas, the land of
hard drinkers. has ninety OF its 200
counties declared for prohibition. South
Carolina has State control OF the LIQUOR
business; North Carolina has limited
local option. In Mississippi few places
now are allowed to sell liquor, under
local option laws; and all through the
Southern States it may be seen that this
issue is TO the front and has been
making great progress.
In this the South is in harmony with the
most progressive thought OF the age, which
has come TO recognize that there IS no
money which flows into the Golfers OF the
State so expensive as that which comes
from the liquor licenses. There is no
need IN this enlightened age for a whole
sale denunclation Of what perfervid tenn
perance orators are fond Of calling the
demon rum;" though no one except an
occasional sailor drinks rum nowadays
We have come 10 recognize that it is
not TO "blaspheme the twisted tendrfl
as q snare" It is really snare, for too
many OF the weak brothers Of humanity.
and our civilization, which Is more and
more coming to feel the duty OF the
strong toward the weak, shows a marked

GOVERNED BY COMMISSION.
Initiative and Referendum Part of
Des Moines' New Charter.

From the Reader
Iowa has been called the New Eng
land Of the West" and Des Moines,
IS its political and intellectual capital It
is noteworthy. therefore. that Des
Moines has adopted a city charter of
that advanced, progressive. radical
sort which we associate with Swiss
or Australian politics, and that IN
Iowa legislature has passed the act al
lowing Des Moines and other Iowa cities
10 do SO. The Des Moines plan viii go
into eject next spring. and is. perhaps.
the most important political topic OF the
time. Reform OF city charters goes to
the bottom Of things in America: and
the Des Moines plan leads the procession

celebrated Galveston scheme of govern
ment by commission; but il gratis on
that bureaucratic plan the fundamental
democracy OF the full initiative and ref
erendUm. II carries direct legislation 70
its logical end, too, IN permitting the
turning out Of Office Of public servants
by vote Of the people-"the recall" The
plan is the most advanced yet adopted
in America in its concentration of power
and responsibility in few hands. and its
accompanying trust In the people al
large. It Is the old town meeting applied
10 a rather large city-perhaps that is
why it was acceptable to the New Eng
land Of the West" The working OF the
plan viii be watched with interest by
the entire country.
