RAILROADS WIN SUIT.
Supreme Court Makes Ruling In
Minnesota Case.

Supreme Court Makes Ruling in
Minnesota Case.
In refusing to grant to Attorney
General Young of Minnesota a writ
OF habeas corpus releasing him from
the penalty imposed by the United
States court for the district of Min
nesOta on the charge of contempt of
court in instituting a proceeding in a
state court for the enforcement of the
railroad rate law after the federal
court had prohibited such a course,
and in affirming the decision of Judge
Pritchard of the United States circuit
court for the western district of
North Carolina, discharging from inn
prisonment James H. Wood, attorney
general for the Southern railway at
Asheville, after he had been sentenced
by the Asheville police court to serve
term on the rock pile on the charge
of collecting for ticket on that
| road a greater price than was per-
! nitted by the state railroad law, the
| supreme court of the United States
| added another to the series Of deci-
sions which have rendered notable the
present term of that court.
In both cases the right of the states
to fix rates for railroad transportation
was the issue, and both involved con-
flicts 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 Justice Peckham, and, with the
exception of Justice Harlan, all the
other members of the court stood be-
hind him in the announcement in the

ing and President Castro. Rudolph
Dodge, representing the Orinoco COM
pany, the present owner of the Fitz-
gerald concession, has filed a protest
with the American legation at Caracas
against this decision.
The United States cruiser Tacoma
arrived at La Guira. Her coming
is considered inopportune and likely,
to create some excitement.
The finding declares the Fitzgerald
concession is cancelled on account of
the failure of the concessiOnaries to
comply with the terms of their con-
tract. DISTINGUISHED Americans and
other foreigners say the decision is
strictly in accord with the law of
equity and the facts.
Mr. Dodge asserted that the Amer
lean government will insist, even to
employing force, that the finding Of
the court be reversed.

case, in which he took the view that
the suit was practically a proceeding
against the state, and therefore not
permissible under the eleventh amend
ment to the constitution. He there
fore characterized the opinion as era
making in the history of the court;
said it had the effect of closing the
courts of state against the state
itself and predicted the result would
be disastrous.
The two cases were so similar that
both practically were decided in one
opinion. The principal pronouncement
was made in the Minnesota case.

Both Houses Of Legislature Vote to
Submit It.
Both houses of the Oklahoma legis-
lature, passed the state dispensary
system measure with the emergency
clause. An amendment by Speaker
Murray of the house provides that a
special election shall be held this
year to vote on the dispensary bill.
The vote will be taken after the dis
pensary system is established. The
governor will sign the bill. There
will be a dispensary in every town of
1000 or more and in every county
seat. After the election in case the
people sustain it, the bill gives the
governor the power to place dis
pensary at any place in the state at
his own discretion.

Gust, putty and clay; of the man who
has worked twelve years in a shop
and has bought home near his work
ard is slowly paying off the mort
sage, when his shop is closed down
without warning by industrial COIL
sClidation; of him who has lost his
hand in an unprotected sticker after
fifteen years of faithful labor. 'All
these possibilities have been foreseen
and charged up and paid for by the
consumers when, the product sEas
bought. But what of these workers?
What of their jobs and their hands
and legs by which they and their fam
lilies live? Mr.. Robins says that up to
this hour the labor unions have done
something, the universities little,
and the church next to nothing. The
labor unions have won some sort o.
fair wages, hours and working condi-
tons wherever they have been strong
They have made a good fight against
child labor, night work for women
and unprotected machinery. Yet at
best they reach only a small part of
the working world. With regard to
violence, MI Robins speaks soma
very impressive words, which touch
upon that identity of interest that
often exists between the press and the
larger forces of business:
"'Our conscience has a way of going
to sleep on the job and then of work
ing overtime. In the last four years
the railroads of this country have
killed 1884 men and injured 219,495.
We are very patient over this steady
Industrial slaughter, but if a union
man slugs a scab who is seeking to
take bread from his children's mouth,
we make a great cutlery. We don't
seem to mind that the labor laws are
violated and how the workers are de-
| liberately poisoned and crippled and
killed in smelter and mine and fac
tory, yet, when in the blind, helpless
struggle of Infatuated masses of men
some one is killed, then we are very
much outraged and demand the troops
to protect human life and enforce the
law lest the foundation of the
state crumble. 1 remember that dur
ing the great stock yards strike the
packers imported criminals and prosti-
tutes from the purlieus of Cincinnati
and ST. Louis and held private
prize fights in the yards to keep them
amused after the days work These
vicious and diseased persons worked
over the meat that you and your
families were to eat, yet the con-
science of the country spoke not a sin
gle word of protest. Why is this
true? How is it possible that the peo
pie can be made to carry SO much
at one time and so little at another:
l want to tell you why, and I want
you to remember this much at least
of what I say tonight. 1t is because
OF the industrial censorship of the
press. The great employers are the

United States Senator William
James Bryan of Florida died at the
Providence hospital, Washington, of
typhoid fever. It was exactly 70
days since he took his seat as suo-
cessor to the late Senator Stephen r.
Mallory, who died December % and
33 days of that time was spent in
his fight against disease. Several
times during Mr.. Bryan's illness his

as late as Saturday night the re-
port was given out that his condition
had taken turn for the better. His
death therefore came as surprise
