81 DEAD, 2153 HURT
RECORD OF FOURTH.
This Is Result of Excessive Patriotism in
lie United States-New York
Leads All Cities.

CHICAGO, H., July 5.-The Tribune
today says: Thirtyseven men, women
and children are dead and 2153 are
manned, lacerated, or burned as a re-
suit of yesterdays excess of patriotism in
the United States. The number of the
dead does not include five drowned dur
ing the day.
The roster of the dead is four more
than last years mortality. y year ago
thirty-three persons were dead on the
morning after the Fourth, not including
five drowned.
Unfortunately, the death roll will in
crease day by day, and even the late
days of August will witness additions to
II. Tetanus, that grim aftermath of gun
powder wounds claims its victims by
scores and even by hundreds for weeks
after the Fourth.
New York in Lead
New York leads all the cities of the
United States in the number of killed
and injured. Ten persons are dead in
that city. while six more are so seri-
ously hurt that it is expected they will
die within a few hours. At the New
York hospitals 423 injured persons were
treated.
The police doubtless averted n great
err casualty list by arresting 42S men
and boys for carrying weapons.
There We're llG fires i'll Greater New
York during the day. These figures
break all Fourth of July records for
the big metropolis.
Pittsburg Is Second
pittsburg, Pa, ran New York a close
second III the grim race, nine persons
yIcding up their lives.
Chicago, although the second city of
the country, added only two dead to the
nations total.
Springfield, H.. supplied three vic
tins. Chatham. H., two, and Aberdeen,
5. D., two. No other town or city i'll
the country gave up more than one of
its own to death.
The total number of injured. 2153. is
under last years figures, which were
21S9.
The figures show that this year, as
last, the most of casualties were due to
carelossncss in handling frecrackers and
other forms of harmless explosives"
Victims of gunpowder this year stand
second in number, but show marked
decrease from last years figures.

rate law, until authoritatively de-
clared unconstitutional, is supreme in
that commonwealth. Judge Pritchard
recently declared that the law was un-
constitutional because. under its PEN
altfes. II the Southern Railway chose
to violate it. the road could be fined

Railway is under no necessity to vio-
late the law. Surely the people have
as much right to protection as the
railroads have. Actual experience
with the new rate law alone can de-
termine its effect, since a low rate
produces more traffic than a high
rate.

JUSTICE BENSON,

The appointment of Judge A. w.
Benson TO the supreme bench to fill
the vacancy caused, by the death OF
the late Justice Greene, will meet with
practically universal approval from
the state at large. Judge Benson has
frequently been mentioned In con-
nection with the supreme bench and
his qualifications for the place are
recognized by those who are compe-
tent to know them. In fact, 1t has
caused some comment when Governor
Hoch has not awaited himself of the
opportunities he has had heretofore
20 eRvate Judge Benson to this place.
The duties of the judicial office will
undoubtedly be far more agreeable to
the new justice than were those of
United States senator. to which Gov
e-nor Hoch appointed him last year.
For while Judge Benson proved him
self exceedingly capable as legisla-
tor, It was because of his clear opin-
Ions. good Judgment. logical reason
ing and correct ideas of right, rather
than any ability to pull wires. His
inclination, training and qualities of
mind peculiarly fit him for place on
the bench, but not for the political
intrigues and schemes that go with
place in the national legislature.
The state will expect the highest ju-
dicial service from Justice Benson
and It will not be disappointed.

NORTH CARoLINA.s vIC,roRy

Aside from the other issues in
viewed, 1t is gratifying to note that
North Carolina has compelled the
great Southern Railway to obey its
laws while the courts are passing on
their constitutionaIity.
Laws are made to be obeyed and
they are presumed to be good until
the courts declare otherwise. Yet
many corporations have way of
ignoring those laws they do not hap
pen to like until the courts decide that
they are constitutional, and that is
what the Southern Railway attempted
to Go with the North Carolina rate
law; and had it not been for the firm
ness of the North Carolina officials
the road would not have been brought
to time.
The railroad company contends, of
course. that the law robs it of it's
property without due process of law,
bEt it loses sight Of the fact that if the
law is just the travelling public is
robbed of its property by the railroad
charging too much. If the railroad
company had guaranteed to refund to
every traveller the overcharge in case
the law is upheld. it might have had

In discussing this question, the Chi
cago News says:
Although 1t may be desirable to
enlarge the scope of federal control
over railroads. under existing constitu-
tfonal provisions and laws it is still
the right and duty of states to reeu-
late the commerce wholly within their
respective borders. In North Carolina
Governor Glenn has forced the Of
fcials of the Southern Railway to
quit violating that states new az
cent-fare law pending a determination
OF It's constitutionality by the United
States supreme court.
For the present the Southern Rail-
why bows. and by its action causes
Federal Judge Pritchard to bow, to
the state law At the same time it
contends, and Judge Pritchard sus-
talns the contention. that the en-
forcement of a confiscatory law, even
for a short time. is unconstitutional
ana establishes an extremely perilous
precedent. Yet the North Carolina
