Waffersnn,s Rattle Cry.

Louisville, KY, July 17.-"Back to
the constitution" is the battle cry
which Henry Watterson is raising for
the democratic hosts in 1908. He enun-
ciated his creed, which in part fellows:
81 believe in the constitution of the
United States strictly construed as the
ark and covenant of our free iDstitu-
tons | believe in coordinate branches of
the federal government as the sure safe
guards against the usurpation of power
with which history makes us familiar,
as the rocks upon which freedom has
been so often shipwrecked. believe in
the maintenance of the federal power
and the state power, unimpaired in their
several functions, national and local, the
one sustaining the other, both subserv-
lent to the organic law of the land. !"
Mr.. Watterson believes that the tariff
and trust questions should be the chief
issues of the democrats. He says that
it would be nothing more than insanity
for Roosevelt to become a candidate,
and predicts that Taft will be the repub-
lican nominee.
Mr.. Watterson will not name his
"dark horse" for President, but says he
will whisper the name into W. j. Bryan's
ear whenever the Nebrasksu asks him
to do so. He declares that no one can
win without BIyan's backing.

several of the victims Of the accident can
not recover. Motorman Williams gave
himself up to 40 ambulance surgeon and

investigation.
Following an investigation ofthe Tooth
street al" wreck, the precinct police
have reported to headquarters that the
disaster was caused by a riot at the for
ward end of the rear train, the combat
ants crowding into the motorman's box
and making it impossible for him to

The RIrhfs Of Railways.

Nashville, Tenn, July l7.-President
w. w. Finley, of the Southern Railway,
in a speech at the Board of Trade outing
this afternoon, made reply to criticisms
of the company's action in appealing 10
the courts for protection from the new
State regulation. he declared that the
agitation initiated to secure the correct
ton of railway abuses, which he en-
dorsed, had accomplished its results,
and was now being carried to the point
of enacting legislation eDdaDgering rail-
way credit. He demanded that the con-
stituliou be observed and that the effort
of States to legislate for what amounted
to confiscation of property, should cease.
Among other things, he said. "lf a law
we're passed by the legislature, con-
t.ary to the constitution, taking from
man his home, or interfering with
his lawful enjoyment OF 1t, there
is no one of our fellow citizens, thus
deprived, who would not ssk, through
the courts, the protection OF the con-
stitution for his lawful rights, and in
this case, too, every good man would
applaud his action and would uphold his
hand. II, however, there is legislation
enacted, contrary to the constitution,
taking from a railway company its prop

those charged with the responsibility for
the property, to obtain for it, in the

are those who declare that this is def

a firm and determined insistence on con-
