The Rate Case From Outside.
Charlotte Observer.

oUseFFeF-
The North Carolina rate litigation
has ceased to be a local matter-it
has become national question, at
tracing the attention of the press
and public throughout the country.
1t would interest our readers if we
could copy all of the outside COM
ment, though much of it is not worth
while, being largely partizan; but a
column editorial in the New York
journal of Commerce, which has no
politics but is purely business
paper, is worthy of consideration.
The journal is mistaken when it
states that the Southern Railway
proceeded first to defy the authori-
ties OF the State as a means of bring
ing matters to head, relying upon
the interposition of the United States
Court to come to it's rescue" Pass
ing over comment based upon this
misapprehension, we find our con-
temporary disappearing strongly of
the sentence of District Passenger
Agent Wood, at Asheville, to the
chain-gang, saying that "this may
have been judicial under the authori-
ty given by the law, but it was far
from iudiciOus," for that "the pun
ishment OF an alleged violator should
be held i'll allegiance until the ques-
ton (the constitutionality of the act)
is decided. The person adjudged
guilty in the court of the first in
stance should not be subject to an
ignominious penalty so long as his
rights are in doubt"
Then the Chattanooga Times, cut
ting at the heart of the question,
says:
'We believe, and the Observer believes,
that the road would have gained much
and pacifed the public greatly if it had
submitted to the law under protest, and
taken the matter to the United States
Supreme Court, meanwhile according the
arbitrary rate, the losses from the same
to be made good by the State if in the
final hearing the legislative enactment
should be thrown out.
CAS- it is, on the dictum of a Federal
Judge, State law is set at naught and
the authority of the people of North
Carolina represented by its Legislature
and it's courts, is scorned. The railroad
may have justice and right on it's side
but it certainly hasn't tact or diplomacy
qualities it and similar corporations
would do well at this particular time to
cultiyate''

Criticism Of Judge Pritchard.
Statesyille Landmark.

Statesville Landmark.
Some of the newspapers have dep
recated the criticism of Judge Pritch-
ard in connection with the railroad
cases. The Landmark has no pa
thence with the too prevalent habit
in North Carolina of imputing cor
rupt motives to everybody who
does not agree with the generally ac-
cepted view; and this paper has not
questioned Judge Pritchard's honest
intentions or his purpose to do his
duty as he saw it, Notwithstanding
it believes he is wrong and has made
a serious error. But those who are
deprecating any criticism OF Pritch-
ard have cause to be thankful that
the criticism has been so mild and
confined to few papers. Things
could be said and said with truth
in this connection that could right
fully be regarded as severe. 1t is
better that they have not been said
and for this Judge Pritchard's
friends should be grateful.

Progressive Farmer.

Progressive Farmer
Suppose the railroads had refused
to put the 2A cent rate into effect,
and the State of North Carolina had
continued firm in its purpose to en-
force it. What would have been the
consequence? The State would have
proceeded to collect the $4,000 fine,
selling railroad property under exc
cution, if necessary. If then the Fed
eral courts had undertaken to re-
strain the sale, they would have had
to send United States marshals
along to stop the sheriffs from max
ing the sales. And if the sheriffs had
refused to be stopped-then visions
of State and Federal troops in con-
flict, if the thing should go SO far.
In such event, there are few States
in the Union, North or South, that
would not probably have taken the
side of North Carolina, for all of
them are concerned in the regulation
of freight and passenger rates. The
suspension of the law was based
upon theory only-the theory that
the roads would lose money at
the 2A cent rate, rate which they
had not tried. How then could any
court declare the rate confscatOry,
that it takes the property OF the
corporations without due process of
law, until the proof has been made
by actual demonstration?
Collateral with the procedures just
outlined, the governor could have
called a special session OF the logisla-
ture, in which event there is little
doubt that this body would have
taken up the matter of breaking the
99-year lease of the North Carolina
Railroad, and annuling the charter
of those railroads which were VIOLA
ting the laws of the State. AS it is,
the railroads will test the ~ cent
rate If after fair trial in actual op-
Grafton it shall be found that the
rate is really contiscatory, it will
strengthen the case Of the railroads,
for honest people generally like to
show as we'll as to receive justice and
do not desire to rob any man or any
corporation.

States Rights Secure.
New Bern Sun.

The agreement reached between
counsel OF the railroads engaged in
resisting the operation of the new
rate law, and the State officials who
were contending for it's enforcement
and fighting for the principles of
States rights is gratifying.
1t gives cause for congratulation
all around, the State officials for
their courage and boldness, the rail
road people for their use OF common
sense and discretion in yielding, and
the people of North Carolina that the
State is still to exercise regulative
powers over the corporations it ere
ateS.
The strangest phase of the whole
situation is that the railroad people
held out as long as they did against
the rights of the State. 1t is odd
they couldn't see the great danger
which threatened them in the persist
ent contest they were making to
override the State courts and the ex-
ecutive department by their disre-
gard Of State law. They seemed
not to realize that it was possible to
so infame public sentiment that it
would be difficult for them to get
simple Justice at the hands of the
legislature or the cOurts-for both
are composed of men Of flesh and
blood and passions and ambitions
but at last tact and good Judgment
came to their rescue, and an agree
ment WAS reached by Which the con-
stitutionality of the new law may be
tested without clash OF authority
or jurisdiction between the State and
Federal courts. 1t means that States
rights are secure and State laws are
not to be scratched off the statute
books by the hurried edict of Fed
eral Judge in total disregard of the
authority aud dignity OF the State
courts and the executive branch of
the State government.
AS is SO we'll said by the Baltimore
Sun, "the less the Federal courts have
to do with the domestic affairs of Il
State the more peace and good feel
