DEATH KNELL OF
STATES RIGHTS
IS SOUNDED

The United States supreme court
has handed down it's decision in the
Minnesota rate case, and the state
loses. The decision is one of the
most far reaching ones ever given
by the court, for it practically
wipes out the rights Of the states
to regulate railway traffic. While
the matter to be decided by the
court was whether the inferior
courts of the federal government
had the right to enjoin the officers
of state from executing the laws
Of the state, the court took occasion
to go farther and knock out the
Minnesota rate law on the ground
that the penalties were excessive.
This disposes not only of the COM
modify rate law but also of the two
cent fare law, and the railroads are
at liberty to restore the three cent
fare-if they dare. This, however,
is only minor matter; the main
thing about the decision is that it
leaves the states without any means
of enforcing railway legislation.
The inferior courts of the federal
government have been given the
power of binding the state officials
hand and foot and leaving them in
that position till the supreme court
gets ready to sustain the claims of
the railroads in any rate case that
may come up. Hence it is useless
for the states to pass rate laws, and
all regulation will have to be done
by the federal government. But
the federal government has no laws
regulating traffic within any state:
its laws apply only to traffic be-
tween states, and that is as far as
the federal government can go un-
less the constitution is amended.
Therefore the railroads are left
free, as far as regulation Of intra.
state traffic is concerned. It is not
Minnesota alone that is concerned
it affects every state in the union
The railroads are supreme within
the states.
The outlook is not bright fo1
those VINO have believed that tn,
monopoly question as regarding
public utilities could be solved b!
regulation. 1t may, however, has
ten the time when the people will
realize that the only effective wa
of regulating any business of tina
kind is to own it. The machiner
for regulating is too complex
. There are too many factors in it
each one Of which may prevent tn
laws from working properly. 7
get proper results it is necessar
that the legislators are willing t
pass the laws; that the executiv
officers are willing to enforce then
and, last but greatest, that tt
courts will not declare the laws nu
and void. We may get the fir
two factors to work fairly we'll vi
der the pressure of popular demand
but the courts are Independent (
and superior to the people, and CO
do what they please-and bitter e,
perience has taught the people VIII;
to expect from that source. It
sheer humbug to assert any long,
that this is government Of tt
people, by the people and for tt
people; it has become governmel
by the courts and for the capita
lists. Government ownership
public utilities such as the raj
\ roads would remove the capital
as factor in the case, and al
the courts. The business wou
be managed by the exccuti'

stables Alfred Gilbertson and A. C.
Crawford were named.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported and their report was second
ed by Gov. Rice and unanimously
adopted. The resolutions read as
follows:
1--WE, the citizens of Willmar, in
mass meeting assembled, for the
purpose of placing in nomination
candidates for the coming election,
90 declare ourselves in favor OF
strict enforcement of liquor and
gambling laws and in favor of the
strictest economy in the financial
administration of our city.
1--WE commend the present CITY
council as relating to the telephone
franchise. and ask our nominees, il
elected, without fear or favor, tc
determine the city rights and make
such arrangements as will best serve
the interests Of the citizens and
preserve the rights that the city
has, and by right ought to have. tc
control it's boulevards, streets and
Alleys
After the nominations for the
city officers the convention divided
into four groups for the selection
Of candidates for aldermen. In the
First ward Peter Nelson, the veter.
mary surgeon, was named for alder
man and |. 7. Cramer for justice.
In the Second ward James Sander.
son was nominated for alderman
and A. 0. Forsberg for justice.
The nomination of Hans Peterson
for mayor led to some confusion be.
cause everyone had expected that
he would be named to succeed him
self as alderman. A number of
names were mentioned but none of
the parties SO honored would per-
NIT their names to be used. In
the Third ward V. E. Lawson was
nominated for alderman and G. P.
Karwand for justice. There was a
friendly contest for the nomination
for alderman. Atty. Gilbert named
Erick Holt in neat little speech
and DR.. johnson nominated Law.
son. Mr.. Holt tried to withdraw
his name, but the chairman did not
hear and the caucus was ordered to
prepare their ballots, which, when
counted, were 40 for Lawson and
81 for Holt. In the Fourth ward
C. A. Dahlheim was nominated fol-
alderman and Swan Anderson fo1
justice. After the nominations had
been made the work Of signing the
petitions was begun and occupied
some time.
There has been a great deal OF
talk of opposition to candidates ir
some Of the wards, but up to the
time of writing nothing has devel
oped. Certain First ward inf1uen
ces are doing their utmost to secure
a candidate to oppose Lawson il
the Third ward and should the,
succeed, the Third ward will b.
the battle ground in the elec
tion. Owing to the pronounced
stand of the Tribune as taken il
the telephone question, the tele
phone interests are very much op
posed to Editor Lawson being givel
a seat in the council chamber. Oh
the other hand, those who believ
that the city'S rights should be in
sisted upon, are rallying to Law
sons support from all parts Of tn
city and will contribute to max
the contest an interesting one.

Judge George e. Prince has filed
his decision with the clerk OF court IN
the famous case against w. N. james:
the colored butcher, for delivering
fresh meat and ice to his customers on
Sunday. 1t will be remembered that
James was charged with violation OF
the Sunday law and trial before Magis.
trate Youmans was found guilty and
fine imposed. Appeal vas taken by
both the State and the Irfence, the
State holding that the magistrate
erred in conceding that the several
acts OF delivery charged on one day
constituted one violation OF the law,
and the defence holding that convlc-
ton was error under the provision of
the law permitting works of necessity
and charity on Sunday. Judge Prince
overrules both appeals and reuands
the case to the magistrates court for
the enforcement OF the judgment en-
tered. It is understood that the case
will not be allowed TO rest here, but
that it will be carried to the supreme
court OF appeals.

a Dutch IroncIaG.

It is Of interest to note that, accord
ing to some authorities, the Dutch
were the first in the modern period OF
history to build an ironclad and that
during the siege Of Antwerp by the
Spaniards in 1856 the people Of that
city built an enormous fat bottomed
vessel, armored it with heavy Iron
plates and thus constructed what they
regarded as an impregnable battery.
This they named Finis Belli. Unfor-
tunately the vessel got aground before
coming into action and fell into the
hands OF the enemy. 1t was held by
Alexander Of Parma to the end Of the
siege as curiosity, but was never en-
ployed by either side in any action.

A Hanoy Measure.

II you have pint jug and wish to
measure off half pint with tolerabie
accuracy it is useless to try and do so
by guessing when the jug is half full.
\ better way is to tilt the jug until
the contents just reach to the upper
end Of the bottom of the vessel and
Just touch the lip at the lower end of
the mouth. In this way the space IN
the pint jug is practically cut into TWO
equal portions, each half representing
the space taken by half pint.-Lon-
don Graphic.
