case of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany against Philadelphia county in con-
nection with the two-cent railroad law is
being argued today before the Pennsyl-
vania supreme court. sitting hcre. The
case was recently decided against the
county authorities in their effort TO col
lcct fires from tle company for violations
Of the provisions Of the rate law by the
common pleas court Of Philadelphia.
NJ. Hampton Todd. attorney general Of
Pennsylvania. who arrived here last night
said today that the rate case is one which
affects the state solely.
"As 1t appears to me" said Mr.. Todd.
we are going to have the same argu-
uaents to refutc before the supreme court
that were presented in the common pleas
court Of Philadelphia county, and our lines
oi argument will be substantially the
same.
1t is purely a question of the rights of

:ec it's charter, against the rights of the

Todd for the commonwealth, and Francis

present their arguments. City Solicitor

Philadelphia by defining the powers of
the Legislature and its authority regarding
the Incorporating and regulating the
methods Of corporations generally within
tie state. =. -.----a---,.
Justice James T. Mitchell, chief Justice
of the court, interrupted to remark
After all. presume the entire ma tier is
one of origin and exact limit of that
power" to which Mr. Gendel1 agreed.
Mr.. Gendell asserted that it is
for us to say If the act is valid or if it is
desirab BILE He then went into the confs-
catory question: one which the railroad
company raised. asserting it's property is
being taken away because of the legisla-
ture arbitrarily reducing its revenues. Mr..
Gerdell asserted that there was no divi-

A CONGRESSMANSPETTY ACT.

Congressman Charles G. Ed
wards. of the First Georgia
District, on Saturday peremptorily
refused to receive a committee OF
colored letter carriers who wished
to request his assistance in secur-
ing advanced pay. The congress
man, who is accidentally serving
his first term, stated in his letter
to them that he would receive a
delegation of white carriers, but
not of negroes.
This is pitiful exhibition OF
congressional smallness that IS
deplorable. No man of large cali
bre who has ever represented any
Southern district or State in Con-
gress would have done such a
thing as this. Even Ben Tillman,
after all his fiery harangue, would
hardly stoop to refuse to allow a
committee of respectable negroes
to present a petition to him, or to
voice their claims for considera"
ton.
Congressman Edwards does not
seem to be aware of the fact that
as Representative from the First
District he is supposed to repres-
ent the interests, of all the people
of that district, regardless of color,
religion or politics. There never
was time in all the years that
Rufus E. Lester served in the
House from that district that he
would not have received commit
tee Of negroes courteOusly, heard
their grievances or claims, given
them good advice if necessary, and
sent them on their way realizing
that as Congressman he was pre-
pared to represent them as well as
the white citizens Of the district.
Edwards has made a blunder
that puts him in ridiculous att
tude, not only before the people of
the First District but before the
people of the State and of the
country. Such mistakes kill a
man politically about as quickly
as anything he can do. 1t makes
people laugh at him, and that is
the last thing a politician wants to
occur. Only a novice would act
as Congressman Edwards has
done. He doubtless thought this
was the popular attitude to assun e.
1t certainly is not with the sensi-
bic, thinking people of that or any
other Georgia district. He I'M
doubtedly misrepresents public
sentiment in what look like a poor,
weak effort to play on race pre-
JUDGES. Congressman Edwards
make weak imitation Of Congress-
man Hardwick.

New Orleans is talking of an
exposition to celebrate the
opening of the Panama Canal. The
next really great Southern exposi-
ton ought to be at Savannah on
the two hundredth anniversary of
the landing of Oglethorpe. That
would be an event well worth
celebrating. Savannah will then
be a city of $50, 900 people, perhaps
more, and fully capable of hand
ling such a great enterprise.
