THE SOUTH AND THE COURTS.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 The ghost of imperialism will not down In several of the southern states. In the North Carolina railroad cases Judge Prltchard has handed down decision up- holding his course in the matter and Judge Jones of Alabama has gone still further. In part these decisions are only of academic interest, as the railways of Virginia and North Carolina have agreed to modus vivendi pending the decision of the supreme court. In Ala bama the leading railroads have done the same, but one company has failed to &C., cept the compromise and Judge Jones has granted an injunction, while the gov ernor threatens to call out the legisla- ture
 The whole crux of this dispute is whether the state or the federal courts have superior Jurisdiction pending a final decision at Washington. One would suppose from the angry protests of the southern people that the federal judges involved were proconsuls of the admin istration sent down south to wreak ven- geance and rule with a rod of iron One would certainly suspect that these judges were not southern men, but were north ern disciples of the old federalist school who condemned state lines as mere arbi- tary divisions for purely local purposes. while all the rights, powers and admin istration of the nation inhered in the fed eral government Nothing could be fur ther from the truth.
 Judge Pritchard, though born in Ten nessee, has spent most of his life in North Carolina, where he served in the legislature. Although a republican. he was elected by the coalition with popu- lists, which he did much to bring about is entirely familiar with the local situ- ation and in the senate was an exponent of the rights of his state and served with credit
 Judge Jones was formerly governor of Alabama, is a democrat, and was for years prominent in promoting legislation In favor of the regulation of railways Apparently his personal views are much in favor of very close regulation and supclNislol, put ne IS enough or a lawyer to understand that it Is useless to try to do what the constitution prohibits. So here are two southern lawyers and states men taking the federal lawyers and statesmen taking the federal ground in their own states and for conclusive req sons, as it seems to most persons. Judge Pritehard lays down very clearly the reasons why the eleventh amendment to the constitution does not apply In the cases before him, and Judge Jones has ordered the railways to lower rates in some specified cases. On the whole. 1t does not seem as if the rights of the states are to be injured by tfsese south ern men. There Is no occasion for alarm or anger. The supreme court will even tually decide.

Fees in Jefferson County

A September grand jury is now sit ting in this county, and presumably reports will be made to it by the varl GUS county officers of the fees they have received in the twelve months last past A former grand jury called for this information to be gotten ready and presented to the grand jury now in session.
 Many states long ago substituted salaries for fees, but some states, notably Louisiana and Alabama, have battles against fees to wage and win. In no state is there a movement from salaries to fees but in all the trend Is the other way except of course in those in which salaries are well established.
 The subject is not one that calls for any denunciation of the benef1ciaries of the fee system, for they are doing what any other men in their shoes would do. When the facts are before the people of the county then dis cussion of the subject will spring up in this state as it has in Louisiana and many other states. The officeholders are not to blame because some of their salaries far outrun the salaries of the governor and chief justice combined. The growth of the county and state did this, and the men in office simply reap where the people had sown.
 The reports called for last June are about due, and the people await their appearance with interest and some speculation.

tance between the two countries for bids. Japan undoubtedly does desire to dominate the Far East, and she is building ships and increasing her army for that purpose. She distrusts Ger many because that country has a foot hold in China on the Liao Chau benin sula, but she has no objection to our possessions in the Philippines.
 Two things seem to be plain in the Far East Japan will dominate 1t as we now dominate the western world, and the retention of the Philippines is not desirable and should not be long continued. We should get rid of them, and we should not stand in the way of Japans natural, just and honorable ambition in the Far East, for Japan is the logical successor of Russia in the Orient, and the world is the gainer by the change that war has ushered in. Our fleet should not indulge in any misplaced jingoism.

Minimum of the Farmers

The growth of the Farmers Union is one of the wonders of these times. From a quiet but earnest talk in which five farmers participated 1t has grown to be a mighty organization numbering 100000 members in twenty-three states. The south is fairly covered by it, and it remains today an organiza- tion of farmers, by farmers for farm CTS. There are few or no demagogues or politicians in 1t. It stands for every thing that will help the farmer, and the south has no organization that is more efficient today or that promises to be more helpful in the future. It aims to induce the farmers who grow cotton to act as one man in the mar keting of their chief cash crop, and its success in that direction has been satisfactory and beneficial.
 The organization sitting at Little Rock has just placed 15-cent mini mum upon the new cotton crop. There are plenty of men who will attack this minimum, but the assailants are not farmers. The farmers think that when all other products are commanding higher prices cotton should bring 15 cents. The farmers are entitled to a larger compensation in an expensive era, and the law of supply and demand ia supporting them in their reasonable demands. The minimum named at Lit tie Rock was not hurriedly or careless ly determined. It is the result of a cautious and comprehensive survey of the entire situation, and if the mem bers of the union will stand loyally up to it surprising good may flow from it. The prosperity of the south is tied up in the proposition. and cordial CO., operation on the part of the members of the Farmers Union can carry 1t to a glorious consummation.

Openin0 the Campaiqn

The presidential campaign will soon be actually begun, for on October 10 the republicans of the Eighth Michi- gan district will select two delegates to their national convention, and a lit tie later the democrats of the Fourth Ohio district will also select two dele gates. Alaska will name two dele gates shortly afterwards. The race will soon be "on," and the presidential nags are even now showing their paces.
 In all or nearly all district republi- can conventions 1t is Taft against the field, and in all district democratic conventions it Is Bryan against the field, and this condition vii doubtless last to the end of the race. The field" in the republican party is un- doubtedly stronger than the field" is in the democratic party.
 
 The effort made by not a few north ern papers to induce the south to in- sist upon the nomination of a southern man proved but flash in the pan. The time," says the Memphis Com mercial-Appeal, "is not yet ripe for one of its sons to reach forth and take the leadership of the party. This time is coming of a certainty, and it is not very distant, but it is not to be this time. Southern democracy itself is not prepared for it. Northern democracy urges 1t not altogether with the enthu- siasm of confidence, and western de- mocracy would not take kindly to it in the least" The Commercial-Appeal has never been warm supporter of William Jennings Bryan, but 1t sees clearly that in any event this is not the time to make a southern man the standard-bearer of the democratic party.

Frest on Corn or Cotton

Tn the great corn surplus states in the northwest the coming of the first frosts is even now a matter of deep i'm portance, for the crop will not be ma tured until October, and frosts often fall in Iowa in September. Every day. however, is putting more and more corn out of harms way, but as the en- tire crop is about three weeks late a frost before October 1 would be very damaging.
 Cotton Is also about three weeks be- hind its customary annual condition, and an early frost would be as unwel- come in the cotton belt as it would be in the great corn states. But any ap- prehension of an October frost Is not supported by statistics. Montgomery fairly represents the entire cotton belt, and Montgomery has not had killing frost in October in this century. One has to go back to the records of 1898 to find a report of an October frost. In that year there was a killing frost on October 22-the only October frost in ten years. Twenty years ago there was a killing frost on October 31. The records show that in thirty years there have been but two killing frosts in Oc- tober, and both came late in the month.
 It Is not probable. therefore. that a killing frost will occur in October this year. The first frost falls oftener in December than in October, but Novem- Der Is the favorite month of Jack Frost's first appearance in the fall sea son-about November 15, and statistics do not point to frost before that time this year.

business has reached the heyday of it's wealth-producing power. The price of lumber today probably is as high as 1t will go; I might say that I believe tho price of lumber is too high, and just what has forced 1t up Is a question I have never been able to answer, nor have found lumberman who was able to give me a satisfactory reason as to the re- markable advance in the value of this produce. It certainly is not due to the scar city of the product. We are getting today four times as much for our output as we got during the days immediately following the Spanish-American war. And yet with this increase in the value of the lumber the cost of the manufactured goods has not advanced correspondingly.
 My company owns several large tracts of timber lands, and we are turning out about 100000 feet of lumber every day, chiefly yellow pine. Probably half of our product is exported and the rest goes iato the interior, to the furniture manufactur- ing centers. Not many years ago vas. areas of timber lands in the south could have been purchased anywhere from sl 50 tO 9zoU an acre. IneSe same lands and others of similar grade are today worth around $40 per acre. Some day these lands will be utilized for the production of crops, but now they are chiefly valuable for the timber that is on them. and so great Is the demand. both in our own and the foreign markets, for the southern ye- low pine, that 1t Is difficult for the mills n kNaD m with fhafr ordera
 "A similar condition of prosperity is found in the south in other industrial lines. We will have big crop of cotton this year. Prices are good and the south- ern planter Is making money. Our textile mills are scarcely able to obtain all the labor they need, and there is no occasion for the man dependent upon his labor to go without work. Money is piling up in the banks much of 1t the savings of the wage-earners, and on every hand there is abundant evidence of the prosperity tho south is now enjoying"
