ponds in very large part upon how
the interstate commerce power Of the
Nation is Interpreted
Whole Powers Arc Interstate.
7 believe that the nation has the
whole governmental power over in
terstate commerce and the widest dig
erection in dealing with that subject;
of course under the express limits
prescribed in the constitution for the
exercise of powers such for instance
as the condition that due process of
law" shall not be denied, The ma
ton has no direct power over purely
interstate commerce, even where II Ia
conducted by the same agencies
which conduct interstate commerce,
The courts must determine what is
national and what is state commerce.
The same reasons which sustained
the power Of congress to incorporate
the United States bank tends TO
sustain the power to incorporate an
interstate railroad. or any other cor
poration conducting an interstate
business
Nation Alone Can Control,
When railroads were first built
they were purely local in character,
Their boundaries were not coeXten-
sive even with the boundaries OF one
state. They usually covered but two
or three counties All this has now
changed At present five great
systems embody nearly four-fifths of
the total mileage of the country. All
the most important railroads are no
longer state roads, but instruments of
interstate commerce Probably 50
per cent OF their business is inter-
state business. 1t is the nation alone
which can with wisdom, justice, and
effectiveness exercise over these in
terstate railroads the thorough and
complete supervision which should
| be exercised.
Chief Intent of Constitution.
One of the chief, and probably the
chief, of the domestic causes of the
adoption of the Constitution was
the need to confer upon the nation
exclusive control over interstate com
merce But this grant of power Is
worthless unless it is held to confer
thoroughgoing and complete con
troll over practically the sole in
strumantalities of the interstate com
merce-the interstate railroads The
railroads themselves have been eX
ceedngly shortsighted lr the rancOr
Gus bitterness which they have shown
against the resumption by the natior
OF this lOng-neglected power Grea
capitalists, who pride thcmselve'
4 upon their extreme conservatism
often believe that they are acting IN
the interests OF property when fol
lowing a course so shoTslghted as I,
be really an assault upon property
They have shown extreme unwisdon
IN their violent opposition TO the as
sumption Of complete control owe

ment The American people will no

New Fields Of Power.
Conditions Have Changed.

The constitution Is unchanged and
Interchangeable save by amendment in
due form. But the conditions to
which it Is to be applied have under
gone a change which Is almost a
transformation, with the result that
many subjects formerly under the
control OF the states have come un-
der the control of the nation,
A hundred years ago there was, eX-
cent the commerce which craWled
along our seacoas, or up and down
our interior waterways, practically
no interstate commerce. Now, by
the railroad, the mails, the telegraph,
and the telephone an immense part OF
our commerce is interstate. BY the
transformation it has escaped from
the mower of the state aud come IN
der the power of the nation There
fore there has been a great practical
change in the exercise Of the ma
tional power, under the acts Of CON
aress. over interstate commerce.
while on the other hand there has
been no noticeable change in the ak
ercise Of the national power Ito re-
gulate commerce with foreign ma
lions and with the Indian tribes.
The changes as regards interstate
commerce has been, not in the Con-
stltutlon but in the business Of the
people to which II Is to be applied

Control All Corporations,

Personally | firmly believe that
there should be national corporations
doing an interstate business, includ-
ing the control OF the output OF their
securities, but as to these the neces-
slty for Federal control Is less urgent
and immediate than is the case with
the railroads. Many of the abuses
connected with these corporations
will probably tend to disappear now
that the goyernment-the public
Is gradually getting the upper hand
as regards putting a stop to the re-
bates and special privileges which
some OF these corporations have en-
joycd at the hands Of the common
carriers. But ultimately it will be
found that the complete remedy for
these abuses lies in direct and affirm
tive action by the national govern
ment. That there is constitutional
power for the national regulation OF
these corporations | have myself no
question. Two or three generations,
ago there was Just as much hostility
TO national control Of banks as there
is now to national control of railroads
or Of industrial corporations doing
an interstate business, That POSSIBLE
! ily now seems 10 us ludicrous in It's
lack of warrant; in like manner
gentlemen, our descendants will re-
gard with wonder the present opposi-
ton to giving the national govern
ment adequate power to control
these great corporations, which II
alone can fully, and yet wisely, safe
Ily, and justly control Remember
also to regulate the formation Of

First Convention Made Provision
The national convention which
framed the constitution, mad in which
almost all the most eminent of the
first generation OF American states
men sat, embodied theory of the in
strument In resolution, to the ef-
feet that the National government
should have power in cases where the
separate states we're incompetent to
act with full efficiency, and where
the harmony OF the United States
would he interrupted by the exercise
of such individual legislation, The
interstate railroad situation Is ex-
actly case in point There WILL of
course, be local matters affecting
railroads which can best be dealt
with by local authorities, but as ma
tional commercial agents the big int
crsate railroad ought to be completely
subject to national authority. Only
thus can we secure their complete
subsection to, and control by, a
single sovereign, representing the
whole people, and capable both OF
protecting the public and of seeing
that the railroads neither inflict nor
endure injustice.

and exclusion. Said Justice Miller:
The meaning Of the Constitution Is
to be sought as much in the national
life as in the dictionary" for, as has
been well said, government purely
out OF a law library can never be
really good government.
Government Questions Arc Economic.
Now that the questions of govern
ment ne becoming so largely eco
nomic, the majority Of our so-called
constitutional cases really turn not
upon the Interpretation Of the in
strumont itself but upon the con-
struction, the right apprehension of
the living conditions to which 1t is
to be applied The Constitution is
now and must remain what it always
has been: but it can only be inter
preted as the interests Of the whole
people demand, if interpreted as a
living organism, designed to meet
the conditions of life and not death;
in other words, If interpreted as
Marshall interpreted 1t, as Wilson
declared 1t should be interpreted. |"
New Fields Of Power.
If the theory of the Marshall
school prevails, then an immense
field of national power, now unused,
will be developed, which will be ad-
euuate for dealing with many il not
all. OF the economic problems which
vex us; and we shall be saved from
the ominous threat of a constant os-
cillation between economic chaos,
Our. Industrial and therefore our
social. future as a nation depends up
on setting Alright this urgent ques-

Meeker Tuesday and strong reso-
luuons adopted, pledging each
member to pay no more grazing
fees and to take out no grazing
permits. The rule calls for 20
cents per head for all stock turned
onto the reserves and for criminal
prosecution of violstora
The owners of stock have de-
clded to turn out their herds as
usual, but will not pay and rs IL

even at this cost they are deter
mined to test the validity of the
act ana have called upon the state

ApDlIcatiOn Denied.

New York, July s. Howard GOuld's
application to have stricken out certain
allegations in the complaint of his vile,
Katharine Clemmens Gould, who is SUI
ing for separation on the ground that
they are scaudalous, was today denied
by Justice Mccall in the Supreme Court.
However, other allegations which the
court held were irrelevant we're ordered
out Of the complaint. The alleged scand-
alous charges Gould wished eliminated
declare that Gould had his wife follow
ed by spies and detectives wherever she
went, aud that he had maintained illicit
and immoral relations with women OF
bad character. Justice Mccall held that
these allegations are not irrelevant.

The Navy.

is believed to be the purpose OF the
administration in ordering the big naval
demonstration on the Pacific coast next
winter TO impress Congress with the ne
cessity of making more adequate pro-
vision for the national defense. The dis
patch of the big feet 10 Pacific waters
means that the government must largely
increase the naval facilities on the Pa
cific coast.
The naval programme contemplstes
the establishment Of navy yard at
San Diego and great naval station
at Olongapo, harbor north of Manila.
The bureau OF equipment will have .
serious problem in coaling the big bat
tleship squadron, present facilities being
entirely inadequate on the coast while
the GOLFERS will require long time for
the trip.
Ia naval circles there is some ques-
ton as 10 the wisdom Of Withdrawing the
big fleet from eastern waters.
A number of Japanese employed on
the Notifications at OlOngspo and Cavite
have been discharged.
The dispatch of the bsttleships has
caused some excitement at Manila, but
none at Toxic.
A dispatch from London says the pres
ent tension between the United States and
Japan is exciting the keenest intrest
among all the European diplomatists.
None OF them, however, believe that il
will reach the stage of warfare, because
the heavy burdern OF debt Japan is carry
ing as a result of failure to obtain indem-
nifty from Russia forbids her embarkiDg
on similar costly enterprise in the next
decade. 1t is recognized, nevertheless, that
the United States is acquiring the enmity
of Japan as one of her national assets,
which may prove handicap in the event
of trouble with any other power. Great
Britain finds herslef in an embarrassing
position also, because she is obliged to
stand between her colonies and her ally
10 the matter of anti japanese laws.
Transvsal has just put into operation q
law regulating the entry Of iAsistics,
which applies TO Indian subjects, as well
as to the japanese and the Chinese, and
which compels them to submit to an ex-
animation and registry with thumbprints
like criminals which is exceedingly IL
ritatiug to them. Australia threatens leg
islation on the same lines. Alfred Dreak-
in, the Australian premier, during re-
cent visit to England repeatedly said in
his speeches that the chief nation
al question with which Australia
must deal was the menace of the inflow
of japanese labor.

Peasants Uprising.

st. Petersburg, July S.-Au uprising
of 1000 peasants in The Schlusselburg
district, just east OF st. Petersburg, is
causing the greatest concern to govern
meut authorities, and it is feared serious
trouble may result. Already one CLASH
has resulted between the peasants and
troops sent against them in which the
rioters were worsted and a number Sc
riously hurt. The roting has not stopped
and there is grave danger Of the trouble
spreading.
Traffic on Lake Ladoga, the largest
lake in Europe, has been completely
tied up by the peasants. Outbreaks 10
lake ports which will suffer are feared.
A regiment of guards was sent today
to put down the uprising. In the clash
ten rioters were wounded.
The greatest fear of the authorities
is that this uprising will lead TO iiots
among working men here. Already
socialistic agitators are taking advantage
of the trouble to arouse labor men. A
general strike would be organized if ii
offered any pretext.

The testimony is in the form of de-

it was impossible TO bring to Boise in
person. Their sworn statements we're
taken in San Francisco and forwarded
here by mail. Non-arrival of the docu-
ments forced an adjournment OF the

The showing they make is said to be
strong one, and the prosecution is
making strong effort to prevent them
from being admitted as evidence.

Major Dreyfus,

Alfred Dreyfus is TO retire from the army
to which he was reinstated with honor
after his long persecution and imprison-
ment on Devils Island have created the
greatest sensation throughout the entire
nation. Since Dreyfus's return 10 active
life in the army be has not been entirely
free from unpleasant incidents owing to
the feeling against him by many officers
and it is believed he intends to retire.
Ia an effort to ascertain the truth OF the
reports the Patrie today interviewed
Madame Dreyfu'. 81 am unable to say
anything yet, she said. This non-com-
initial answer has strengthened the be-
lief that Dreyfus really contemplates re-
firing.

Chicago, July S.-Counsel for the
Standard Oil Company will announce to
Judge Lands today whether or not 1t
wishes to introduce witnesses to testify
that the Standard Oil Company of lndi-
ana is not owned and controlled BY the
New Jersey corporation. 1t isprobable
that F. A. Wann, formerly general audi
tor of the Chicago and Alton Railroad,
will return to the witness stand some
time today. He will be examined rel
alive to the return on oil charged by
the Alton road between Whiting, lnd.,
and East st. Louis.
There is not much likelihood that
Judge Lands viii impose the fine today,
as he desires to learn more about the
operations of the oil trust before he
takes any action.
The Standard Oil Company this morn
ing said: 1gnorlng the gossip of the
street and of the mob, depending upon
the fundamentals of the law, we inter-
pose no objections to the courts
proceeding other than to state our lnno-
cence of violation or intent to violate
