that they were born on farm. Take

Judge G. P. Carpenter of the nuni-
cipal court at Northfeld last Friday
sustained the position of the state, that
the federal court is without jurisdic-
ton in the action brought against L..

Olson guilty of violating the states
new commodity rate law, aud sem
fenced him to spend an hour in the
county Jail.
At the trial of the case earlier in the
week, Olson admitted that he had
charged 80 ton on a carload of coal
shipped from Duluth to Northfeld,
whereas the distance tariff rate is but
$1.42 ton. The complaint was made
by the Manhart Lumber company.
The attorneys for Olson and the rail-
way company will take steps at once
to appeal the case, contending that,
under the injunction of the federal
court, the railway company was barred
from putting the low rates into effect

JAPS FEEL SOME MISGIVINGS
Marquis Ito's Organ Discusses
American Naval Plans.

Toxic, July 12.-The massing Of the
American fleet In the Pacific, about
which American papers have applied
to Marquis Ito for an opinion, is semi
officially discussed by Ito's admins
tration organ. The paper says:
"We cannot help feeling some mis-
giving with regard to the significance
of the intended massing of American
battleships in the Pacific, especially in
view of the grandiose announcement
attributed to President Roosevelt to
the effect that the navy would furnish
the world with startling demonstra-
tion of Americas defensive capacity.
1t is difficult for us to accept the as
surance that the coming maneuvers
do not possess any connection what
ever with the apanese-American sit
uation. We regret that Washington
thinks it necessary to take what re-
sembles precautionary measure
However, we are not disposed to at
tach serious Importance to this matter
and have no inclination to doubt the
presidents sincerity in assuring the
peaceful nature of the proposed
maneuvers. Neither have we the
slightest doubt of the pacific and
friendly sentiments of the American
government. The people toward whom
Japan's blame is probably due are the
irresponsibles of both nations"

ATTORNEY GENERAL CANNOT ENFORCE LAW
Railroad Rate Cases, the Federal
Court Refuses Release the Attorney General
From the Restraining Order

proceedings IN the case OF the c0mmO-
dity rate law Or the two-cent fare, yet
he would assure the court that Mr..
Young would not hesitate if this were
made his duty. But it would be done
in sane manner and with the rights
of all respected.
The railroads be said were taking
too much upon themselves. They
were predicting and trying to compel
that which they did not believe. In
stead of control by the state it was
coming to the reverse. Capital,
meaning the railroads, was trying to
reserve to itself those fundamental
principals which the trainers of the
government had placed with the peo-
pie and for the guidance of those en-
joying her suffrage. Showing what he
claimed to be railroad arrogance. Mr..
Stone said that one road, the Great
Westdrn, was even claiming immuni-
ty from state control under the consti-
tuition, offering in support a provision
of the national document which, he
declared, it claimed had been especial
ly enacted for the protection and
guarantee of capital.
Stiles w. Burr, attorney for the
Great Western took exceptions to this
statement by Mr.. Stone and defed
him to point out any such quotation in
the complaint filed against his road.
In answer Mr.. Stone picked up the
written complaint and quoted from a
paragraph wherein it was said that the
state and the attorney general were
attempting to usurp rights granted the
road by the constitution, in brief, a
reasonable return on his investment.
After hearing him thru, Mr.. Burr re-
torted that it was matter of inter-
probation. He thought that Mr..
Stone was juggling with the wording.
"Well, probably am a little more
dense than some people, but that is
the way it reads tome, - answered Mr..
Stone.
Mr.. Stone completed his argument
at 4 O'Clock when adjournment was
taken. His talk was a mastery effort
and at the close he was warmly con-
graduated by the attorneys present.
The arguments were resumed on
Tuesday, and late Tuesday afternoon,
Judge Lochren gave his decision on
the point at issue.
He decided that the suit against the
attorney general is not an action
against the state within the meaning
of the eleventh amendment. If an in
junction is issued against the rate re-
ductions, the attorney general will be
one of the parties enjoined, and mean
while he is bound by the restraining
order from taking any action to en-
force the state laws.
After announcing his opinion, Judge
Lochren continued the hearing until
next Tuesday morning. At that time
two question will be advanced for ar
gument. One is that the new rates are
confiscatory and amount to taking pri-
vate property without due process of
law, in violation of the constitution.
The other is that, in fixing rates with
in the state, the legislature made it
necessary to revise interstate rates,
and therefore imposed bnrden on
interstate commerce. This involves
the broad question as to the right of
the state to regulate rates.
