pennsyIvania's Rate Ae. void

The first judicial decision against
2-cent fare legislation. just recorded in the
Common Pleas Court of the County Of
Philadelphia. contains several points Of
interest and significance. At its last ses-
sion the Pennsylvania legislature. in re-
sponse to supposed popular demand. arbi-
trarily reduced the rates of passenger
fare on intrastate railroads to > cents
a mile. The Pennsylvania Railroad oper-
ates in that State under a charter granted
by an olds constitution, by the terms Of
which the railroad may fix rates of trans
portationN not 10 exceed 3]k cents a mile.
The legislature has authority, however. TO
alter OF annul any charter injurious to
the Commonwealth. provided no Injustice
be done the incorporators. and It was con-
tended that the reduction Of the fares was
a legitimate exercise Of this authority.
The court holds, as to this feature Of the
case. that the PennsyIvanIa's charter is in
the nature OF a contract, which cannot be
impaired by State action without vioIat-
ing the Federal Constitution. and that the
legislatures attempt TO annul the char
ter right Of railroad company to estab-
lish it's rates Is a violation of the provi-
sion Of the State constitution that no in
justice shall be done the incorporators.
inasmuch as the court adiudged the rate
fixed by the State unreasonable and con-
fscatory. Furthermore, the court holds
that the Pennsylvania's charter precludes
the State from interfering with the rates
OF fare deemed reasonable by the COM
pany, provided they do not exceed 81
cents a mile.
SO far the opinion Of the court is of To-
cal application only. OF wider interest is
the courts consideration Of the question
whether cents mile is reasonable
rate, as far as the Pennsylvania lines
are concerned In determining this ques-
ton, the court lays down the broad prin-
ciple that public service corporations in
are entitled TO look for
rate of return, if their property will earn
II. Of not less than the legal rate OF in
terest, which is 6 per cent. Analyzing the
figures presented to show the railroads
from intTastate passenger traffic.
the court concludes that the companv's
probable passenger business for 1907
would yield return Of 81 per cent on
the actual investment on the basis of the
existing rates Of fare. The court there
fore holds that the present rates are not
since they do not yield le-
gal interest on the investment AS the
2-eent rate would probably reduce the
return Of the company to less than 81
per cent on its investment, in the opinion
of the court, ''and since a return so small |
is not fair remuneration for the use and

Peace in Central Americn.

At last responses have been received
from all FIVE OF the Central American
All Of them have fallen in
with the suggestion of President Roose-
velt, and have expressed their desire to
meet his wishes, so that there will prob
ably be a conference held before long

1t has been suggested more than once
that il would be a fine thing for the fu-
ture OF Central America il the five re-
publies could be united in one govern
ment If such plan is feasible at all, II
is doubtful whether It can be carried out
for a number Of years to come. There
is such a diversity Of population. such

that the best way to settle differences is
to fight them out so Ehat in case of
federation there would. under present cir
cumstances, be grave dangers OF seces-
sicn and civil war. to take the place of
the revolutions which are the habit now.
At the present time there are matters
Of dispute between the republics of Sal

is part Of the plan OF the proposed con
ference 10 adjust these anicsbly: and
Il is to be hoped that some plan of arbi-
tration may be agreed upon which shall

permanent peace, so that the energies
which have been directed to fussing may
be turned into the channels Of much
needed industry.

If the chief of the gypsy tribe in Amer
lea is to have his way, there will be no
more fortune-telling by gypsies in Amer
lea, Chief zeHtcheo Demitro, who Is at
present encamped near Boston, has issued
a national order prohibiting the custom.
His reason for Il is that fortune-telling
has been used by some of the women Of
the tribe as a cloak to cover petty thiev-
ing. Nominally making their living by
selling baskets and trinkets. their chief
revenue has been derived from having
their hands crossed with silver" while
they peered into the future Snd, Incl
dentally, into the pockets Of their patrons.
It is a curious trait OF American char
acter which has made fortune-tellng
in this country the profitable business
that II is Just let a woman be
ugly and baggard, ragged and mys-
tsrlous Of jargon. and there are never
wanting credulous people who viii pay
the Zee to learn their fate. Education
has nothing 10 do with the matter. for the
college professor seems as susceptible as
the shop girl, though on the very face Of
it It is plain that If these poor gypsies
had any such power as they claim they
would not be wandering itinerants-
Ishmaels, with every mans hand against
them.
The gypsies have always had a bad
name-as most wanderers have; whether
because Of their careless renunciation Of
the ordinary obligations Of life. their
strange tongue. or their unkempt appear
ance 1t would be hard TO say. But as the
world progresses. so it would seem the
gypsies are progressing and are desirous
Of being known as something else than
charlatans, working on the creduiity Of
the public, or horse stealers. They have
always been objects Of suspicion to the
police. and never a nurse maid has seen
a caravan Of the wandering people but
she has had a wary eye on her charges.
owing TO some strange belief that gypsies
are always on the lookout for a chance
TO steal well-dressed children. But
would seem that reform in gypsy methods
is coming from the inside. A gypsy not
allowed 20 tell fortunes loses half her
mysterious attributes, and 1t may very
well be that this wave Of reform among
the wanderers is only the first step to-
ward the time when they shall cease
20 be outcasts and shall become useful
and decent citizens

The Mastery Of the Waves

Seldom has the civilized world awaited
with such interest the news of the pas
sage Of a ship across the Atlantic as we
wait now for word from the new Gu
harder Lusitania- Although all racing be-
tween passenger ships is frowned upon
and decried. no one doubts that the
Lusitania is racing as fast as she can
with safety TO her berth in New York.
Il is for that purpose she was built. and
the present anxiety about news from her
is due to the fact that she is fully ex-
pected to break the worlds record.
The record was made by German ship
and was a great triumph for Germany.
which in many ways is the keenest rival
Of Great Britain in all Industrial matters
Great BTitains boast that Britannia
rules the wave was set at naught by a
German ship, built at Stettin. and
manned by Germans. The Lusitania,
therefore, thoroughly British in concep-
tion, building, and manning. carries with
her the hope of the British nation.
The Germans evidently believe that the
laurels they have held in ocean travel
are about to be lost to them. and they
are hardly willing to admit that it is
because of the superior enterprise Of
British shipbuilders in daring to expert
ment in the biggest ship ever launched
with the turbine engine At a meeting of
the Hamburg-American Company the
other cay, Herr Ballin. the president, de-
ciared that England had dropped her
Of fair play and that she had
richly endowed a single steamship COM
pany (meaning the Cunard Line) so that
Germany's defeat might be made possible.
Whether the Lusitania will succeed in
