Contest Will Continue-Test Case to
Go Before the Highest Tribunal Of
the State Which Was First to At.
tack the Law.

Philadelphia, Sept. II. - Judges
Wilson and Audendried Of the com
mon pleas court. Tuesday declared
unconstitutional the two-cent railroad
fare law passed by the. last legisla-
ture. The case upon which the deci-
sion was rendered will be taken to the
supreme court at once.
The two-cent fare law was enacted
by the legislature as a result of agi-
tation during the last campaign, all
parties pledging themselves in favor
of such legislation. The railroads,
led by the Pennsylvania and the Read
ing. made a strong fight. but both
branches of the legislature passed the
bill with virtually a unanimous vote.
The act was to go into effect Octo'

Pennsylvania Began Attack.
The Pennsylvania was, the first to
make the attack, bringing suit in the
local courts to restrain the county
of Philadelphia from collecting the
fine for violating the provisions of the
act. The hearing lasted nearly a
week, and among the witnesses were
President McCrea and several vice
presidents Of the Pennsylvania.
The contention of the company was
that the law was not constitutional
and that the two-cent rate was fixed
without investigation on he part of
the legislature as to whether the rail,
roads could make fair profit under
it, which the Pennsylvania asserted
it could not do.
Await Result of Test Case.
All other railroads operating In
Pennsylvania have brought similar
proceedings in various counties, but
decisions have not been rendered, as
it is generally understood that the
Pennsylvania s suit will be made the
test. case in the higher court.

rs nation too prosperous when
millions OF children are working In
mines and mills and factories, and los

rs a nation too prosperous when
half of all the schoolboys are taken
from school and put to work before
they are twelve years old?
rs a nation too prosperous when
out of one million boys sent to the
public school only three can go into
the high school and finish?
is nation too prosperous when a
law must be passed to prevent young
women from working all night long
and when that law is shamefully de-
clared unconstitutional by judges on
the Supreme bench?

ITO the people irrespective of party

Therefore, Theodore Roosevelt is not

Already has it been demonstrated
that the frightened and vengeful

would save that which has already
