WILL SETTLE STATE POWER.
Jurisdiction over Railroads aues-
tiOn i'm Supreme Court.

The question as to whether the In
terstate Commerce Commission has, un-
der the provisions Of the Hepburn rail-
road rate act, exclusive control over the
operation Of railroads is brought square
ly 10 an issue in case just appealed
to the United States Supreme Court by
the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company
The railroad takes the position that
under the new rate act common carriers
are Federal agencies, under the exclu-
sive control of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and that the States have
no jurisdiction over their operations.
The case will attract widespread atten-
ton, as a question Of State rights is in
volved, and the highest court in the land
Is called upon to mark out where, in the
world Of transportation, the authority Of
the Federal government begins and ends
In its appeal the Missouri Pacific makes
the bold claim that il is subject to Fed
eFal control only; that under the pro-
visions of the Hepburn act the States
have lost control over interstate roads
as far as the operation OF the roads Is
concerned, and that the Kansas Supreme
Court was without jurisdiction in the
case brought by the L.arabee Milling
Company.

WE LACK CARNEGIES."
SAYS DR.. CARL ZTMMER.

DR.. Phil. Carl thinner. Custes
des Kgl. zoolog. Instituts und Mu-
seums. Privatdecent der geologic,
Breslau. Germany. paid a high
tribute 10 the, pubiIe-spirited
wealthy American. Ae said:
such a thing as a wealthy Ger
man endowing a whole university
is absolutely unknown. or even to
found or endow a chair, or build
library or other institutions Of
learning.
No; I do not believe that your
miIlionaires make these munificent
gifts to advertise themselves; !
believe they do IL because they
think they ought to do Il; they re-
gard 1t as their duty; their pa
triotlsm prompts them. 1t is not
only one or two or three of these
public benefactors that are as
sisting higher education in Amer
lea so much, but there are many
of them. Some of them do not
give so much some of them buy
collection OF books and present
them 10 schools: some OF them
buy scientific apparatus, and so
forth.
There are so many institutions
of learning In America that 1t is
an easy matter for a scientist
who understands his branch TO OBJ
tain well-paying employment eth
er in commercial enterprises and
schools and universities. 1t is
quite different with biologists in
Germany. Our institutions are
limited in number. and only the
most accomplished OF them may
expect TO md a position In the
governments institutions.
Club life IN Germany IS not
as general as il Is I'm your coun-
try. We have our 'kneipen.' where
we go evenings and meet our
friends. and sit and talk and
drink our beer ard smoke. These
kneipen are clubs for all prac-
tieai purposes. Every regular
stammgast has his chair. which is
reserved for him alone. and In
this manner one is sure not 10
come in contact with people whom
one does not like TO meet"

81 don't think you Americans
are narsuing the proper course in
regard 20 your railroad investi-
cations. I think you are doing
yourselves great harm in~the iong
run let me explain. Ny coun-
try, though small In territory, is a
heavy investor IN American Sc

we hold about $500. .000, ,000 worth

ally follow very closely the way
the prosecution takes I'm order to
make the railroads obey the laws
OF your country. The people in
general Ia our country, not being
conversant with American affairs,
are becoming uneasy about the
manner In which railroads and
other large financial and com
mercial enterprises are being
prosecuted. The consequence is
that we arc beginning TO get
afraid of American securities;
people sell them and won't buy
again.
The stockholder, in the long
run, has TO pay the fines. and IN
order TO get his money back he
devises all sorts of enterprises and
schemes to reimburse himself at
the expense OF the public. So the
public is the loser and not your
Mr.. Rockefeller. who does not
mind a fine Of $4,000, 600. As long
as punishment Is imposed, why
not send them 10 Jail? That
would surely have its beneficial
effects.
There is one thing I cannot
understand, and that is that one
has 10 walt SO long In the hotels
before one can get an order filled.
And your walters are so slow. and
oftentimes almost impudent. We
