THOMAS
ASKS RELIEF
THE SUCCESSOR TO BOB EVANS
WANTS COMMAND TRANSFER
RED TO OTHERS.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, April 17.-Rea1
Admiral Charles NJ Thomas, in tenn
porary charge of the battleship fleet
during the absence of Admiral Evans
has applied to Washington to relieve
him of the duty of command of the
fleet early in May and will be in Wash
ington five days after Admiral Evans
hauls down his flag.
The news spread through the feet
and set the officers agog with excite
ment, and gossip was rife as to the
reasons for the move, for Admiral Ev-
ans does not retire until October and
would have sole command while the
ships visited the coasts Of Oregon and
Washington.
Admiral Thomas himself is very re-
ticent as to his move and, while adj
hitting that he has made it, would
only indicate as his reason a desire to
sever relations with the Command while
1t Is a unit at San Francisco. Those
close to him say that his family Is
coming to meet him at San Francisco
and that he desires to be able to go
with them for rest.
The navy department has intimated
that Thomas will succeed Admiral
Evans in command of the feet imme-
diately after the San Francisco re-
view, but that Admiral sperry will
take command, succeeding Admiral
Thomas, when the feet moves for ASH
attic waters, for the reason that the
latter's retirement would come about
the time the leet is at Australia, and
Sperry has yet a year TO serve.

Don't Send Loose Coins.

Postmaster S. J. Steffenson de-
sires to call attention to the prac-
tice OF some patrons OF rural deliv-
cry of placing loose coins in their
boxes each time they desire to dis
patch letters instead VI supplying
themselves with postage in advance
of their needs,
This practice imposes undue
hardship on rural carriers in re-
moving loose coins from boxes and
delays them on the service OF their
routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urg-
emily requests that patrons Of rural
delivery provide themselves and
tIeep on hand a supply OF stamps
CONSTANT with and in advance OF
their needs 1t is also very desira-
1ble that rural patrons place in their
mail boxes small detachable cups

HUNTS POINT PARK"

Citizens of The Bronx are among the most
moderate Iooters of the municipal treasury to
be found anywhere within the city limits, as
the details of the Hunts Point Park transaction
sufficiently establish. The site was sold by
them to the city for S252,000, when its actual
value. on a generous estimate, was perhaps
$4,000 but this Was not exceeding the usual
ratio in such deals, and when it is considered
how ideally Hunts Point is situated for sale
to the city it will be readily seen what excep-
tional self-restraint the Bronxites exercised.
Hunts Point exists somewhere in the Eastern
Bronx 1t is reported that hardy explorers
have visited the spot, because there is now no
place on earth where as Tim Campbell would
say. the hand of man has not set foot, but only
a man who wished 10 have his name transmit
ted to posterity with Staney's and Livingstones S
would think of Drawing the difficulties attendant
on visiting Hunts Point To reach the place
the best authorities say, you travel an lncred-
ible number of paraSangs in a trolley car, one
of those vehicles which start at intervals frcin
12Sth street and voyage off to the eastward on
Journeys from which return is doubtful 1t Is
credbly asserted by explorers that few of these
vehicles are ever heard of again But the car
does not take you TO Hunts Point By no
means If all goes we'll and the conductor knows
where TO tell the traveller to get out. he lands
a days journey from the city's new pleasure
resort. From the line the route is on top of
a new sewer whose upper surface rises suff-
ciently above the marshy lands thereabouts to
afford Il firm footing for the explorer At or
NEAR the mouth Of this sewer is Hunts Point
Park What wonder, then, that the city. after
owning it for three years, has just discovered
that il is three-fourths under waJer and some
of it forty feet below the surface? However.
parks are bought for the future, and it is hoped
that by the time there is any public need of a
pleasure resort in that uneXplOred wilderness
the sewer Will have done much to repair what
ever deficiency of solid matter is at present
observable there. With what marvellous fore
sight does New York buy its park sites in the
outlying districts. BY the time the city has
grown up TO the park, the park, aided by the
sewer, will have grown up, too,
But point is the amazing moderation of
the eminent citizens of The Bronx. The whole
plot of ninety-seven lots was sold to the city
for S252000 1t was assessed at $500. Up
land lots in that general neighborhOod re-
ported TO fetch $500 each. SeVenty-tive of the
ninety-Seyen lots under water, it is true,
but then the city apparently did not know that.
The only reason we can see why the Bronx
citizens did not charge a million for this site
so ideally situated for sale TO the city, their
sense of self-reStraint They doubtless felt that
taking much money from the Board of ESti-
mate and ApportiOnment would be like taking
candy from Il child.

the whole Calhounite argument. 1t says tnat
the Constitution empowers the federal courts
TO assume Jurisdiction in any case in wnicn
comnlaint is made that state seeks to ln1rlnge
on personal or property rights without due

state laws enjon state officials and nullify any
state proceedings whatever which deprive any

equity court or tend TO abridge his recognizeu

with him harshy or unfairly. and federal Jus
tice stands ever ready TO repair the defects ana
shortcomings of state Justice. This view COM
pIetely traverses the old theory of the states
more or less complete sovereignty in legal ad-
ministration Yet there is no getting away
from the logic of the situation. The Fourteentn
Amendment as now universally construed by

ton when it deprives a citizen of personal

process of law means, their verdicts are the
only ones which will hold in crucial cases af-
fecting great property interests. Calhounlsm
with its dream of forty-six sovereign states
and forty-six different legal jurisdictions, has
passed into ''innocuous desuetude.'' AS the fed
eral legislative power has been enlarged to con-
troll agencies which had outgrown state re-
straint so the federal judicial power is being
enlarged to insure universal protection and

UEATHRLOIV TO C4LHOUNISH

The decision of the Supreme Court in the
Minnesota and North Carolina railroad rate
cases viii prove q terrific blow TO the political
philosophers who have been trying TO resurrect
and revivify the state sovereignty theories Of
Calhoun. The neo-CalhouniteS were apparently
alarmed at what they considered an undue ex-
pansiou of federal power, that expansion hav-
ing been brought about in the course Of the ma
t1onal governments efforts 10 control and regu-
Afe agencies of interstate commerce which had
cuterown effective state restraint. At first, un-
doubtedly advocates Of a return TO CalhOunism
like Colonel George Harvey and ex-Judge Alton
r. Parker were moved by a desire 10 protect
such agencies from a too rigorous federal reg
ulation. They asserted that the federal power
was being used oppressively and unconstitu-
tionally 10 coerce corporations engaged i'll in
terstate commerce. and argued stoutly against
what they called a clear usurpation of the juriS-
diction and rights of the states.
Their arguments fell ripe ground in the
South and brought forth unexpected and un-
welcome fruit. Southern neo-CaIhounites, in
cluding the Governors Of North Carolina, Geor
2ia and Alabama. accepted the new gospel of
state rights ia inverted form, taking it TO au-
thorize the states 10 pursue railroads and other
corporations with interstate connections TO the
top of the popular bent. The Legislatures of
North Carolina and Alabama passed laws af-
1ecun2 freight and passenger rates winch were
clearly oppressive 10 the railroads, and then set
up the contention that so long as their own
state courts did not annul such legislation 1t
was not open TO attack before federal judges
The lower state courts in North Carolina sus-
tanned the penalty clauses Of the passenger rate
act. Judge Pritchard, Of the Federal Circuit
Court declared those provisions invalid. and is
sued an injunction sGspending the operation
of the state laws until they could be passed on
10y the United States Supreme Court. He acted
under tie authority of the Fourteenth Amend
ment 10 rle federal Constitution, which forbids
a state TO deprive any person Of life. liberty
or property without due process Of law" On his
