 RATES ARE UP Judge Jones Hears Two
 Experts. PHASE OF BIG RAILROAD CASE Louisville and Nashville and South
 and North Interested. Federal Judge Investigating Question of Rates Raised Between January and Date of Pas.ase ei Maxi- nun Rate Law.

Judge Thomas c. Jones' of the United States Court, yesterday thrash ed out thoroughly the contention of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the South aud North railroad as to the maximum freight rates on twenty-nine commodities. the hearing being another chapter in the gigantic railroad litigation against the State of Alabama.
 Holding court in his chamber. Judge Jo.es went over .le situation exten
 sively. He occupied all Of the day>in
 vestigating these rates. the lowering
 which 1t Is sought Ly the railroads to
 enjoin. As experts. evidence was ad-
 duced by c. B. Compton. of Louisville
 general freight agent or ;he Louisville @
 and Nashville railroad. on behalf of the railroads concerned. and R. J. Ken
 nedy. secretary of the Alabama Rail road commission. on behalf of the State.
 It will be remembered that when the far reaching railroad litigation was first brought in the federal court. the Louisville and Nashville, and South and
 North railroads raised the point that
 the maximum rate bill, as passed by the Legislature compel the rates in
 force by these railroads on January l. | 1907, to be fixed as the maximum rates.
 Between January 1 and the date If the passage of the bill, these railroads had raised their rates on twenty-nine commodities. which rates, it was claimed, should be the maximum rates. These railroads sought 10 stop the enforcement of the law on these all legations.
 Judge Jones. when hs rendered de- crees in the cases. granted inJunctions to all of the railroads. except in this particular phase of the Louisville and Nashville and South and North cases. In this he ordered a restraining order, pending g thorough investigation Of l the rates. A number of persons interested in the railroad litigation heard the tes- | timony yesterday of the rate experts. Judge Jones has issued no decree on the question.

RESPECT FOR CONSTITUTION.
Juds1n HarmOn's Plea for Stricter
Construction of Its Provisions,

JUdS1u harmon IA LeSLe's Weekly.
Supreme authority resides in the people,
who have solemnly established the mode
and manner in which alone their viii is
TO be made known. They have with the
utmost care and elaboration decided 70
invest the Federal government with GER
tain powers and their respective state
governments with other powers. All
powers not so granted they have chosen
to retain until they think best 70 grant
more. When the people wish the Consti-
tuition changed they will surely change
it themselves, as they have always done,
but they will take the time and use the
elaboration they have themselves pro-
yided to guard against hasty and incon-
siderate action. Meanwhile the people
need officials who will serve them with
zeal and with fidelity TO the trusts con-
hded. which covers the limitation as well
as the duties of their trusts. They need
leaders TO study and propose and to advo-
cate lawful measures for their good But
they do not need guardians. Our very
prosperity has brought about, or, per-
haps. rather, magnifed and disclosed
many things which must be eliminated or
corrected. But I am not convinced that
1t would be better 10 have all our chop
ping and pruning done with one big ak.
even II license were given in due form.
At all events there must be no trespass-
ing, no matter how benehcent the pur-
pose, for il is a maxim as old as the law
that while bad motives may make an I'M
lawful act worse. no amount Of good mo-
tives cal ever make it right.

RELIGION Versus Science

For those among the laymen who
WITHOUT giving much thought TO the mat
ter, have come 10 believe that in some
way the theologians were willing to twist
the facts Of the Scriptures SO as TO meet
modern scientific research on its own
ground. the decree promulgated by pope
Plus X, on July Il, and just made public
IN this country, viii come as q surprise.
II is evident that the holy father at
Rome thought it high time to check the
tendency on the part Of certain members
Of his flock 10 throw overheard cherished
traditions Of the church because they
seemed discredited by science. There has
been investigation, which seemed TO show
that certain contradictions IN the Bible
could only be explained by an admission
that certain portions Of the Scriptures
were not inspired. Some have claimed
that only IN a symbolic sense may Christ
be said 10 have risen from the dead.
Others have claimed. and some Catholics
have been willing TO admit. that Simon
Peter, instead Of being made the head of
the church by divine decree, assumed that
priority owing 70 purely political circum-
stances.
All these errors. and others to the num-
Der Of siXty-five the Pope Genounces.
Ignoring all the tendencies TO harmonic
Roman Catholic dogma with science, he
takes occasion 10 declare that all Of the
Holy Scriptures are the result of divine
inspiration, which guarantees the truth
and authority. not of any particular
parts, but OF the whole. Catholics are in
error If they do not believe that God
himself was the author Of the Scriptures.
No scientific construction of the miracles
of Jesus and His apostles is allowed. As
they are writ down in the Bible. so they
happened. Neither the theory Of evOlu-
ton nor any cosmic theory is to be al
lowed TO cast doubt on the account of
creation given N Genes.s. The Lord Gre

Monument 10 - schnrz.

It has often been, in this country, a
difficult task to secure. by popular sub
scription, funds enough TO raise a worthy
monument to some public man whom his
friends thought worthy Of being so per
petuated. But that there is 10 be no such
difficulty in the case of the late Carl
Schurz is already demonstrated. In the
few months since the death of Mr. Schurz
the Schurz memorial committee has re-
ceived subscriptions aggregaung $4,000.
and much more is on its way. Perhaps
this popularity is due largely to the fact
that Mr.. Schurz was pre-emiEently the
leader among that class of citizens who
are sometimes loosely designated as Ger
man-Anericans. He was certainly one
Of the greatest citizens Of German ex-
traction that America has had. He ont
lived the height Of his fame, and fingered
long enough on the scene Of action to find
himself greatly at odds with the political
party with which much of his earlier life
in America had been identified. But his
life was an admirable one, full Of adven-
ture and event, and the gratitude OF those
who hold his memory IN loving care is
likely 10 take such concrete form as to
provide a. elaborate a memorial as was
ever erected in honor Of a distinguished
man.

Comparative Punishments.

From the Indianapolis Star.
A few months ago fine was imposed
by a local Federal court on a striker for
a violation OF an order Of the court It
was Insignificant in amount as compared
with this; but TO the man fined It meant
the loss Of his home, which represented
his life's savings. When this fine Of the
Standard oil Company was reported 10
AF. Rockefeller it appears TO have de-
layed for almost FIVE minutes his game OF
golf. II does not mean to him or TO any
one connected with the company the loss
of home or of any necessity Of life. It
does not even mean the deprivation Of
any luxury TO which they may he accus-
toned. or which they may hereafter
fancy It means simply that they can
we'll afford 10 sit up and take notice.

Democrats Running Amuek.

Mr. Bryan remarked a few days ago
that never in his political experience had
party lines been so loosely drawn. Men
and measures count for more than party
organization or party triumphs; the peo-
pie are looking for results of various
kinds from administration and legislation,
and the party label which legislative and
administrative measures bear is of rela-
lively small consequence
An instance in point may be found In
Georgia, where the Democratic organiza-
ton has been overridden by a combination
OF Populists and Prohibitionists with the
rural Democrats combination which
has fastened a prohibition law upon the
State, notwithstanding the official attitude
of the Georgia Democracy against such
legislation. "The people of the State. -
says the Atlanta Constitution. have
thrown political creed and party organiza-
ton TO the winds" Tom Watson, it
mournfully admits has won his fight TO
break down party lines; the political
leaven that ne planted years ago has done
its work, and to-day the victory is his"
The Constitution concludes that
There are certain things the people want and
mean % have. They have begun TO have them in
the States; they have beg,a TO have them in the
nation. In the accomplishment OF these objects
party creed and party organization win be aban-
doned the moment they get in the way"
Prohibition OF the liquor traffic, Of
course. is directly contrary to old-fash-
toned Democratic ideas. For many years
Democratic platforms, both State and ma
tional, contained vigorous demonstrations
Of sumptuary legislation. as well as Of all
forms OF paternaIism. Occasionally an
Old-Iine Democrat viii arise nowadays TO
condemn paternalism in government, and
faint echoes are infrequently heard Of
Jefferson's maxim that a people is gov
erned best when governed least No
doubt freedom Of the individual from
the regulations and restraints of a pa
ternalistic government is a cardinal prin-
ciple of the Democracy as we used to
know 1t; but how much influence has this
principle over the action OF Democracy
in power? All through the South, where.
We are told, Democracy stllI preserves
some Of its pristine purity the legisIa-
lures are applying the doctrine that leg
islation is q remedy for anything and
everything with a vengeance. Party dog
mas avail nothing; the people will have
what they want. as the Atlanta Constitu-
tion says, or what they think they want.
and legislation runs riot, with no guiding
principle except, possibly, faith in the
remedial power of directive or inhibitory
statutes.
It is one of those maladies of popular
government which must run its course
until it effects its own cure. There Is
commonly a healthy reaction in such
cases.

MEN AND THINGS.
Clark and Grosxenor.


Several years ago Representative Champ
Clark, of Missouri. and Representative
Charles II. Grosvenor. of Ohio, engaged
in joint debate at Mountain Lake Park,
Nd, on the issues Of the day. This wordy
encounter was a huge success. The two
statesmen did not 80 az each other in
hammer-and-tongs fashion, but INDUCED
IN enough personalities TO give animation
TO the debate and entertain the large
audience highly. The Republicans thought
that Gen. Grosyenor had The better Of Il,
while the Democrats were sure that the
Missourian had vanquished his doughty
antagonist This little affair was the be-
ginning OF very prosperous arrangement
between Clark and Grosvenor. They are
stili debating the issues around the
Chautauquan circuit at a generous price
per debate. Next Saturday they meet at
New Albany. Ind. Representative James
f. Watson, of Indiana, Republican whip
Of the House. is the latest statesman to
take the platform. He has a lecture on
