By D. Watson.
Judge William T. Newman, of the United
States circuit and district courts, has hand
ed down the most sensible decision on the
railroad rate question that has yet been hand
ed down.
When the State railroad commission issued
the order for a reduction of passenger rates
in Georgia, the Central of Georgia Railroad
hustled to the United States court for an in
junction restraining the commission from en-
forcing the order-claming that the new rate
was conhscatory.
The railroads had done the same thing in
Virginia, North Carolina and Alabama, and
had found Pritchard or Jones to do as
their lawyers told them to do. Therefore,
the habit of having a United States Judge re-
strain state from enforcing a state law had
become so firmly set that they linked" them
SLEEVES to the United States court and asked
Judge Newman to run rough shod over the
State Of Georgia. as Pritchard and Jones had
tried to do.
But this time they struck snag!
Judge Newman has decided that six
months trial Of the new rate law will prove
whether or not it is CONFISCATORY more
than the 'hot air confscatory" talk of the rail-
road officials and their lawyers
The decision means that Judge Newman re-
1uoCo " W do tHG OlIlCI Judges Have QOHC-
prophesy what the new~law will do. He does
not undertake to decide what is a fact before
it has been proved to be a fact, therefore, let
the railroads try the new rate law for six
months and, if it proves Improbable, let them
present the facts to the court and ask relief.
But even if the new rate does not yield
profits, it will not prove that the new rate is
CONFISCATORY. The property is NOT
conhscated until the TITLE and RIGHT of
POSSESSION are taken away from the own
er.
Judge Samuel H. Seabury has set a prece-
dent in New York City that ought to be fol-
lowed by Judges of State courts throughout
the country.
For some time there has been litigation over
some of the street railway systems in New
York City
AS usual the street railways had gone to
the United States courts to seek relief from
the New York courts, taking themselves away
from the jurisdiction of the State courts.
But Judge Seabury would not have it that
way.
He took jurisdiction any way, taking the ju-
risdiction away from the United States courts,
and appointed receivers to take charge of the
street railways.
We are glad to note that one of these re-
ceivers is the able and upright young lawyer
who managed the Watson campaign in New
York in 1904 Judge Seabury was one of the
first prominent Democrats of the East who an
nounced his intention of supporting Mr.. Wat
son, instead of Judge Parker. And he was

ed-that judges who enjoined states because
Of rate regulations were assuming to act as
prophets rather than as judges.
Let him study the question more profoundly
and he will agree with the Jeffersonian in the
further contention that no law can be conis-
catory which does not dispossess the owner
and destroy his title.
Those who are claiming that clearing house
certificates are as good as government money,
have evidently overlooked the accounts of the
experience Of some Americans in Europe.
Some Of these travellers went abroad, as
most travellers do, with most of their money
deposited in banks at home and taking letters
of credit instead Of the cash money with them.
Things went we'll until they needed money,
and then they found themselves up against it.
The New York banks were issuing clear
ing house certificates in place of money, and
the foreign bankers did not care to let out their
real money on letters of credit from such
banks.
The traveller could not relieve his condition
by cabling to New York for money for the
New York banks would not pay out anything
but clearing house certificates
Thus the traveller found himself stranger
in strange land without money or friends
to help him get home, and sometimes without
enough to pay his hotel bill Some incidents
are cited where travellers have been forced to
sell their belongings in the way of wearing ap-
parel to get enough money to pay their pas
sage back to the United States.
Yet you hear people say they had as soon
have clearing house certificate as ten dollar
gold piece.
The Chicago bankers and the New York
bankers seem to have lost a little friendship
over the recent money troubles.
The Chicago bankers make the startling an
nouncement that the New Workers played
slick little game on them.
According to the Chicago bankers this is
the way it was done:
The New York bankers persuaded the Chi
cago and other western bankers to deposit
their money in New York, as most banks
throughout the country do.
When their money was safely in the hands
Of the New Workers, the New Workers kept
When a Chicago bank wanted it's money
back, it got New York certificates instead
leaving the Chicago banks and the banks
throughout the United States, without money
and forcing them to issue certificates too.
In the meantime, the New York bankers
were making loans with the other banks
money and getting big rate Of interest for
it.
Quite slick game, and one that may not
have been given away had not the rascals in
the two cities fallen out.

The preliminary game, between the
Bernard All-Stars and the Chinese
Athletic Club, resulted in the defeat
of the Athletics by a score of four to
nothing. The picked team scored one
run IN the third and the final inning
brought in three more. In the ninth
the Chinese became ratified and a couple
of hits, with several errors, made a
bad ending to what had been good
game. Mique Fisher acted as umpire
and was great success, the players
having such awe of him, that they
dared not dispute a decision of any
kind, no matter how raw. Espinda
pitched fine game and received good
support from his team. The lineups
were:
