WHERE Is the DIffEREHCe7

There are some stsange anom-
allies in the workings of Federal
Courts that call for more than the
the Ordinary consideration. And
this has been brought about by
the appeals of corporations and
monopolies for Intervention. when
they imagined their vital rights
were being invaded by State en-
actments.
In the case of the State of North
Carolina. the authority of the
United States courts was invoked,
to prevent the enforcement of a
State enactment lowering the rail-
road rates in that State. The
result has invoked a lively and
general discussion as to how far
the Federal court Interpretation
could invade the right of the State
to regulate its own internal affairs,
not in conflict with the rights
guaranteed by the United States
constitution. The friction became
acute at one time, and armed force
Intervention was threatened.
Now comes the Cumberland
Telephone Company IN Louisiana
and appeals to the same authority
to interfere. because the State
endeavors by law to prevent that
monopoly from increasing its
earnings. under recent ruling of
the Railroad Commission. Thus
it IS sought to make Federal courts
a double-edged sword to cut both
ways in behalf of the monopolies.

editorial on this subject very per-

phone Company, a monopoly, to
increase its rates in this state, the
effect of which would not reduce
the earnings of the telephone
company. Yet we get excited
over the North Carolina "affair"
while things are happening right
hereat home that concern us a
great deal more and in which the
principle of States Rights is just
as much involved.
IF the railroad commission OF
Louisiana can not regulate tcle-
phone rates in this state under the
powers conferred upon it by the
Legislature. perhaps the Legisla-
ture can not do anything because
of interference by the federal
courts. then We might just as well
turn the state government over to
the federal authorities and try to
forget that there ever was any
such thing as home rule"

the HAGUE TRIBUNAL.

Nations are largely governed
by the characteristics of their peo-
pie. Modern governments are
necessarily contaolled by self-in-
terests. No two agree as to the
attainment of these eads. Hence
their conferences on specific ques-
tons of means to attain common
end. inevitably bring on a clash.
and antagonism. 1t is similar to
the rivalries of the social classes
of society.
No accredited delegates can
wisely reach amicable conclusions
when the power behind them is
secretly employed in securing
some advantage or controlling
influence.
No delegated power can secure
a smooth and frictionless move
ment. when national jealousies.
the ambition of rulers are ever
striving for a dominant position
amid the so-called "world po xers."
Peace and war are two great
antagonistic principles that have
ever ruled the destines of nations.
The most virile. the most active,
the most persistent in progress
are invariably the most aggressive
and bectme the most powerful.
Hence the diplomatic battle
that has been fought at The Hague
Conference has resulted in a fail
ure to formulate the rights of
nations. Vital distinctions as
by conclusions. natur-
ally reduce to a nullity any rule
sought to be adopted. Provisions
to principle sought to be attain
ed. simply become a barrier to
any proposed policy.
Let we'll enough alone. and
leave to times unfolding develop

these out to their advantage when

much disregard for the welfare of

cherish and display that lofty
patriotism that actuated the men
who battled for freedom at Bunker

Just AS You Like 1t.

We had a pleasant call last Satur-
day from an old subscriber who, af-
ter exchanging the usual greetings,
informed us that he did not like our
conduct of the paper and that he
had called to settle up and quit. For
this he is entitled to commentator
too many try to quit without set
Ting up.
But the gentleman's exceptions to
our conduct of the paper We're, we
think, rather puerile. In the first
place, he kicked because we sup
ported the Hon. Charles Scott in the
gubernatorial race; he informed us
that well beat Scott anyway, so
it didn't make any difference, but
we presume 1t hurt his tender feel
ings to read of the shortcomings OF
a couple of MI. Scott's competitors,
and he wisely quit.
In the second place, the gentle
man objected to our method of pay
ing compliments-intimating that,
in one particular instance, at least,
it should have been more general.
From all we have been able to learn
of the subject matter covered by the
item referred to, we we're correct in
our diagnosis of the case and have
no apologies to offer.
Further, the gentleman informed
us that our course was hurting the
paper and us, and that we would
find it out and would feel it. Well,
so be it; but, honestly, if there are
any disgruntled subscribers to the
HERALD who desire to have the pa
per discontinued, we trust they will
settle any a~rrearages ere doing SO.
