RAILROADS SUSTAINED

A quietus was put on the railroad
batting in Minnesota and North Caro-
lima by the Supreme Court Monday
The law having been made clear in
these two cases it will be of course
unnecessary to carry up similar cases
from Albania or Georgia.
In the Minnesota case many of the
same points were involved as are in
the Alabama case, where the agents
OF the roads were prohibited under
heavy penalties from charging more
than a certain rate, and forbidding
the railroads to resort to the Federal
courts. Judge Jones, however, put
block in the enforcement of the
law until it could be heard in the
Federal courts.
On this point the court said:
Such laws are therefore held un-
constitutional, as they prevented the
companies from resorting to the
courts, and therefore deprived them
of the equal protection of the laws. "
In regard to the attempts to force
the roads to reduce passenger and
freight rates, the court says:
THE laws providing rates for trans
portation of passengers and freight
in the two cases under consideration
have been held by the courts below to
be so low as to be substantially con-
fiscatory, and should not therefore
be enforced until further trials"
In the adoption of the Constitution
the trainers wisely foresaw that state
courts might be at times inclined to
be oppressive, Influenced by consider
atoms more or less local. Hence in
certain cases an appeal was provided
for to the court of the whole coun-
try. Experience has justified the ex-
ceeding wisdom of this provision
times without number.
Justice Harlan, who was the only
dissenting member, held that the
Minnesota proceedings were practically
proceedings against the state and
were not permissible under the elev-
enth amendment. He declared that
the decision of the majority was an
epoch-maker, that it closed the state
courts against the state itself, and
that the results would be disastrous
in the long run.

Conflicting reports have been sent
about the rumored engagement of an
italian duke to Miss Elkins, an Am
erican heiress. 1t was first said that
the Italian family objected because
Miss Elkins was not of royal lineage.
This aroused some hope that the
country was not to be treated to
another of those international mar
riages. But it was all in vain. The
Italians were only throwing a bluff
and would not have missed the wealth
of the American girl for anything. So
now it is given out that the King of
Italy will witness the marriage.

Perhaps "Policy" Is Too Strong
(Waycross JournaD

The Americas Times-Recorder is
authority for the statement that 'the
policies of Governor Smith have been
permitted to run riot in Georgia too
long for the good of the business in
terests. Our Americas contempor-
airy is well posted in recent political
history and we would be pleased to
have further information on this sub
ject, from the editorial pages of the
Times-Recorder Just what policies
has the Times Recorder in mind when
the above was penned? Specific, de-
finite information along this line
would be of service both to the friends
and the opponents of Governor
Smiths administration just now.

just voted jail bonds. Sylvester, Ga.

smaller Georgia cities are setting

Practical Politics-Reports from the
western part of the State say that
Rep. Frank A. Hosmer of Amherst is
| to get denomination in the 3rd Hamp-
shire district without opposition.
A prophet may be without honor in
his own country, but in this case APP
parently a frst-class Representative is
not without appreciation in his own
town. This may be accounted for in
part by the fact that while Rep Hos
mer performed his part, as member
of the Committee on Appropriations,
in the big work of the House, he kept
in close touch with his own district
and its needs. In his own committee
he was especially watchful of the APP
preparations for the State college at
Amherst
On the Committee on Appropriations
he has been noted as an economist aud
1T is a pity that there were not more
of his kind on the committee Rep.
Hosmer does not believe that the
State should be put to the expense of
building harbors for every little ham
let on the coast that someone may
have place to anchor his yacht, any
more than it should be called upon to
build garages for automobiles, and
he has insisted that it is time to call
a halt to this grating on the State
treasury.
For first year man Rep. Hosmer |
has a record of unusual excellence, and |
it is a good omen for the future of |
the commonwealth when men like him
can be induced to allow the use of |
their names as candidates for public /
office.

THE DOG AS A NUISANCE
AND AS A NIGHT WATCH

( have discovered that one of the prin
eipal reasons for the general keeping
of dogs here is the scarcity of police
protection, making watchdog an al
most imperative necessity, particularly
where, as is the case here, doors and
windows are always open to the breeze.
L have lived here some ten years, and
have yet to see the first patrolman
within mile of my home.
There are many forms of annoyance
to the nervous and irascible which
cannot be readily suppressed, among
which the passing of trolley-cars with
changing gongs, the break neck rush of
the automobile with its multi-tcned
horn, and the rumbling milkwagons
gathering in the small hours of the
morning, are familiar examples. Yet,
with the exercise of one-half the self
restraint which your correspondent ex,
poets of the common canine, it is quite
possible to sleep through it all I'M
molested.
Perfect happiness is not to be at
tanned in this life, as even Another
Sufferer" l believe, would find, on wit
Messing the death-agonies of poisoned
" cur" which, by inference, he appears
to advocate as suitable means of re-
lief
Of all execrable towards, he who
would poison mans most faithful
friend and companion, who, from time
has stood Loyalty by his
side, and even in his humblest form,
the despised s'eur,' has given count
less examples of devotion, in peril and
distress, risking his own life to save
that of his master, of all human
fends; I say, the dog-poisoner is one
IF the lowest!

If the dog-license official would vigor,
ously insist on the payment of the dog
tax, the city would reap the benefit in
coin, and at least seventy-fve per cent.
of the dogs would be disowned, and
fall into the hands of the dog catchers,
who would do well to more vigorously
prosecute their duty, and so relieve us
long suffering unfortunates. If rabies
should occur, there is no knowing how
many human lives might be sacrificed
for the sake of these pestiferous brutes.
About six years ago I visited this city,
and found the sanitary conditions did
not encourage me to remain. However,
the excellent Board of Health has done
so well, in improving the city, in this
respect, that I am again a resident in
what, but for the cur nuisance, is one
of the most pleasant residential cities

FLAMES SWEEP HAyTIAN TOWN
Four Hundred Houses, Including
Public Buildings, are DESTROYED.

Port au Prince, Hayti, July Ga
serious fire broke out here yester-
day afternoon in the vicinity of the
Palezza building. The flames spread
quickly, there being a high wind,
and soon reached alarming proper
tions. Four hundred buildings were
burned, including the courthouse
and the prison. All of the prisoners,
who included a number of women,
were taken to other quarters before
the building took fire Sparks were
carried to the arsenal, which was
also burned, together with stores of
powder and munitions. The destruc-
ton of the arsenal was accompanied
by many explosions The firemen
were aided by large section of the
populace in the fight and force
from the French cruiser Chasseloup
Baunat. For time panic prevailed,
but later as the intensity of the fire
diminished the people became more
calm, though heavy explosions in the
arsenal continued for several hours
after the fire started. The station of
the cable company, which is located
near the arsenal, was surrounded by
flames. and it is probable that com
munication by that means VIII soon
be interrupted.
