DECISIONS AS
TO RATE ACT

Washington, March "a. = The su-
prone court of the, United States de-
MED the petition Of Attorney General
Edward T. Young Of Minnesota for
writ Of habeas Corpus in the case in
which be is held for contempt of court
by the United States circuit court OF
Minnesota because he refused to abide
by an injunction issued by that court
forbtdding him to take any action look
ing to the enforcement of the maxi
| mum railroad rate law. The court at
the same time pronounced invalid the
Minnesota law regulating both freight
and passenger rates.
The opinion was announced by Jus
tice Peckham, who held the Minnesota
law to be unconstitutional on its face
because of the enormous penalties Inn.
posed for disobedlence to 1t.
North Carolina Case Decided.
The case Of Thomas f. Hunter, sher-
iff for Buncombe county, N. G., versus
James Fl. Wood, agent of the Southern
railway at Asheville, N. O., involving
conflict over the North Carolina rail-
road rate law, was decided in favor of
Wood. This decision was announced
by Justice Peckham, and its effect is
to sustain the federal courts and thus
hold the law Invalid.
In both cases the right Of the states
to fix rates for railroad transportation
was the issue, and both involved con-
ficts between the federal and the
state courts, The decision In each case
was opposed both to the states and to.
their courts. The opinion Of the court
in both cases was announced by JUS
tice Peckham, and with the exception
Of Justice Harlan all the other mem
bers of the court stood behind him in
the announcement of the courts find
ing.
Justice Harlan read a dissenting
opinion, in the Young case, in which he
took the view that the suit was prac-
tically a proceeding against the state
and therefore not permissible under
the eleventh amendment to the consti-
tuition. He therefore characterized the
opinion as era making in the history
Of the court, said it had the effect of
closing the courts of a state against
the state itself and predicted that the
result would be disastrous.

ALPHABET REFORM

4 ENCOURAGEMENT of a national
II spelling bee in the United States
Ia comes along with a report that
China will introduce spelling reform.
The general appearance of Chinese sug-
gests it is in dire need of spelling
reform. A Chinese novelist, preparing
a two hundred thousand word manu-
script with paint brush and India ink.
is a monument of patience. 1t is small
wonder that Chinese authors seldom
write" more than one book in life
time. But did you ever stop to think
that the alphabet of our own language
is hindrance to our literature? SPELL
ing reform is nonsensical. We have no
patience with people who propose even
what are called modified systems" for
any kind of spelling reform with the
present Latin alphabet is certain to
cause confusion. What is needed. if
we wish to make life less burdensome
and to save time, is to recognize the
necessity for alphabetical reform. The
Latin alphabet is a badge of Norman
SldNtTy. IL yOul ID DSSOulNS Va
Montmorency or Montgomerie that will
not affect you, because you are
descendant of the Norman enslaver.
But if you are plain Brown, Jones,
Robinson or Smith you are entitled
even at this late date to rebel against
the alphabet which disguises the Ian
guage and enslaves the ideas of the ma
tions that speak the American Ian
guage. We need many new letters, and
should dispense with a few which are
superhuous. Since the Chinese have
overcome their hereditary prejudice
against a reform of their time-killing
alphabet the peoples who use the writ
ten American language should over
come their prejudice against a reform
of the tlme-killing Roman alphabet.

A NEW PARTY?

nUR correspondent who suggests
that the time is at hand when
" it will be necessary for good
Americans to unite in the creation OF
a new American party is expressing
sentiments and opinions held by many
able men in the east and west, so he
should not feel lonesome. But it Is
one thing to talk about putting prin-
ciples into effect by creating new
party, and another to create a party.
A party, in order to be a power,
force, something more than fad or
name, must nave organization and
must be led by men of executive ability.
Every philosopher, every reformer,
every philosophic reformer, is doomed
to find that it is a situation which con-
fronts him and his fellow countrymen;
one that cannot possibly be solved oy
theories, no matter how splendid and
noble such theories may be. Much
more practical than the suggestion to
form a new party would be one that
would contemplate the strengthening
of the present Democratic party by re-
viving in the men of its rank and
file that appreciation of Americanism
which would inspire them to better
and give them issues which
would compel the support of every
American, no matter
what might have been his previous
condition of party servitude.
The Democratic party, as we are
pointing out constantly, has now one
of the greatest opportunities of its
career. Let 1t renew its vows before
God and the American nation, and
promise to be faithful and true to the
people and to the first principles OF
and every man who is
signing for - NEW party in which
will be promulgated and
put into effect may find his wishes
gratifie0 and his patriotic desire satis-
fled in a RENEWED party, revived and
Democracy.

perform the same task is really on the
way to slavery, and is several degrees
nearer serfdom than the worker for
good wages. 1t was the highest au-
thority who said, Surely the laborer
is WORTHY OF HIS HIRE" The
employment of women and children
and the payment Of low wages to men
forced to compete with women and
children is so distinctly un-Christian,
so markedly and remarkably contrary
to the teachings of Christ, so plainly
anti Christian and heathenish that we
wonder why priests. clergymen and
ministers of all denominations do
not preach it down. Why don't they?
In modern times. was ever a sermon
preached on the text, "The laborer is
worthy of his hire?"
