Judge McPherSOn's Ruling.

Federal Judge Smith Mcpherson
has Just handed down ruling in
the matter of the railroads effort to
Gefeat Missouri's two-cent-fare law,
which illustrates the judicial AFRO
cance that has caused so much dis
affection with the Federal courts.
Judge Mcpherson, in substance,
declined to enjoin the two-cent law,
and issued an order that it should
be tried for three months, and then
he would investigate the showing
and learn whether it was really GO
ing to prove ''confiscatory" OF rail
road property. On the strength of
that showing he will either enjoin
it or definitely decline an injunction.
Three months trial, In the midst
Of the summer, with the assurance
that the railroads will do all in their
power to make the showing bad
that is. TO begin with, no fair
chance. But beyond this, the ques-
ton arises, why should a Federal
Judge be manifesting such tremen-
dous anxiety to get and 20 retain
jurisdiction of such a case? 1t
seems TO be proper matter for the
State courts. Missouri has exclusive
jurisdiction of intra-state com
MERGE and this law affects none
other. 1t has a judicial system
which presumably is competent to
handle questions involving its own
laws; its constitution forbids taking
private property without due proc
css Of law; and. finally, if injustice
be done in the State court, there is
still the possibility of ultimately
getting into the Federal court by
writ of error from the Federal SUI
preme Court to the State supreme
court.
Yet Judge Mcpherson takes especial
pains to keep this case in his own
court. He will, after the three
months experiment, try the action
and make the record on which il will
go higher. Then the circuit and SUI
rreme courts will get their chance
at IL; and, from beginning to end.
no Missouri court will have had a
chance TO pass upon this purely
/ State concern. Judge Mcpherson
Is not a resident of Missouri. He
was a leading attorney for the Hill
! railroads until he was appointed a
Federal judge.
This is the sort of thing which
weakens the Federal courts with the
people of the, States, and which
strengthens the advocates of the
largest possible measure of State
autonomy. The Federal courts
ought to let alone those matters
which do not concern them. but in
stead the country is full of Federal
} Judges who seem determined 10 alb
, sorb all the powers they can posi-
/ bly, get within their grasp.

THROUGH PURSE

NEW YORK. June 2l.-Miss Clara E.
Newcomb, who sued Frank Slocum for
breach OF promise. was awarded a YER
dict Of 5000 in the supreme court,
Brooklyn. She sued to recover $4,000,
but as she said it was not money that
she wanted. but a punishment for her
unfaithful sutton, she was well satisfied
with the verdict.
Before the summing up, Miss New
comb was asked whether she was VIM
dictive She denied that she was. but
said she thought Slocum ought TO be
punished. not so much on her own &C
count. but as a lesson to him that ne
might not trifie with some other woman.

No wonder. if their eyesight is

Thirteen battleships and many
cruisers laid up with skeleton
crews; each sea-going squadron re-
duced by two battleships and one
cruiser: the personnel reduced from
13l 900 in 1904 to 12S,OOO in 1907; the
dockyard establishments reduced
from $4,000 to $1,000, with repairs
accumulating steadily.
