RAILROADS WIN
VICTORY IN COURT
COMMODITIES CLAUSE OF HEP
BURN LAW is DECLARED
UNcONSTiTUTIONA
TWO FEDERAL COURT JUDGES.
Gray and Dallas Agree That Law to
Prohibit Railroads Carrying Any
Article Mined or Produced
by Them Is Invalid.

Philadelphia, Pa. = Declaring it
to be drastic, harsh and unreasonable
and an invasion of the rights of the
states and therefore repugnant to the
constitution, the United States cir
cult court for the Eastern district of
Pennsylvania on Thursday dismissed
the suits of the federal government
to enforce the commodities clause.
of the Hepburn railroad act against
the anthracite coal carrying rail-
roads of this state. Judge George
Gray and George NJ. Dallas filed opin.
ions dismissing the suits and Judge.
Joseph Burlington dissented, but did
not file an opinion. The commodities
clause prohibits railroad companies to
transport in interstate commerce any
article or commodity manufactured,
mined or produced by them or under
their authority.
The case was argued in June, At
torney General Bonaparte delivering
the principal argument for the gov-
ernment. The effect of the commodi-
ties clause if constitutional would be
to confine the mining of anthracite
coal by the railroads for use in Penn
sylvania only, or compel the railroads
to sell all the mining property they
are interested in.
The decision of the court did not
come as great surprise. 1t is almost
certain that the case will be appealed
directly to the United States supreme,
court
Judge Gray in his opinion discussed
at great length the limitations put up
on congress by the constitution and
concluded as follows:
From every point of view which.
we have been able to approach the
question, the unreasonableness and
consequent invalidity of this so-called
commodities clause is apparent"

Bryan's Sweet Sinoer

While the treasurer of the Demo-
cratic party listens to the jingle of
the dimes and dollars he composes
lyrics. 1t is said that he is depended
upon by the candidate to supply him
with plaintive melodies guaranteed to
reach and to teach the masses. When
the dollars are not running in such a
stream as to distract the treasurer he
gets en- rapport with the muse of mel
ody and then from his quarters come
enchanting strains. Those about his
locality are caught with the sweet
pleas for the support of the twice
tried and thyee-times-willing Willie.
The newspaper men have their souls
tuned to the enchanting strains. as
they are the dog" on which the songs
of the inspired minstrel of the re.
doubtable nominee are tried. Mr..
Bryan has the full paraphernalia of
touring candidate in search of a job.
His one-night stands will be enlivened
by the dulcet strains of the song that
tells of his weariless wandering to.
ward the White House. There is no
doubt about Mr. Bryan's ability to Sc
cure cheap attractions from dollar
dinners to dime ditties.

Marshal Your Forces,

No mind, no intellect Is powerful or
great enough to attract wealth while
the mental attitude is turned away
from it, facing in the other direction.
One of the greatest problems of mod
ern science is to discover means by
which the great energies of forces
which are going to waste all about us
may be utilized, says Orison SWEET
Marden in Success Magazine. 1t is a
well-known fact that the finest loco
motive yet made has succeeded in
utilizing only about fifteen per cent of
the energy of its fuel Eighty-five per
the coal is lost. Great forces of ma
ture are everywhere going to waste
because man does not know how to
control them, to marshal them, to har-
ness them TO his uses: On every hand
we see great human ability doing the
work of mediocrity or running to
waste; splendid possibilities in rags
and novels; men of quality and talent
living shiftlessly in narrowness and
squalor; thousands of men and wo-
men, who have reached their gray-hair
period, having still rs, so or 80 per
cent. of their ability undeveloped, un-
touched. They are small mean and
pinched when, had they discovered
themselves and demanded the best of
themselves, they might have been
large, broad, full and complete.

BRYAN AND THE FARMERS.
Prospect of "Free Wool" Not Alluring
to Western Rancher.

The Democratic plank promising "a
reduction of the tariff upon the neces-
saries of life seems to us harmless,
even admirable, but it is loaded and
aimed at the heart which beats for the
poor farmer. The above simple phrase
being translated into shorter and
uglier form spells free wool" and
that means the enmity of that class
for whose pennies Mr.. Bryan made
such heart to heart appeal the other
day. 1t is all right in the east to crush
the wicked combination of wool buy
ers who are keeping down the price of
the farmers wool, and keeping up the
price of the peoples clothes But in
the west this means the annulment of
the sacred clause putting up the price
of the farmers sheep.
Did not the census of sheep show a
falling off of ten millions during the
last Democratic administration, and
has the poor farmer yet recovered
from that massacre of the innocent
sheep, like that now prepared for him
self to make Bryan holiday? Has
not the price of Territory, best fine
staple, clean," risen from 80 cents to
90 cents under Republican administra-
ton, and shall the hands af the clock
be turned backward? In other. words.
VIII the farmer chip in for Bryan and
free wool? We trow not Bryan and
ruin look alike to the western
rancher, and he would rather vote for
the Old Boy himself

Mr.. Bryan and Radicalism

Owing to the pernicious activity of
President Roosevelt radicalism has
gained a stronghold in the ranks of
the Republican party, and as Mr..
Taft has declared unqualified adher-
ence to the doctrines and policies &C
Mr. Roosevelt, Mr.. Bryan finds him
self on common ground with his op-
ponent Instead of being called upon
to defend his views, he now makes ci-
tations from the statements and ut
terances of Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Taft in support of his contentious.
And this he does in the cleverest
and most adroit manner, using the
remarks of his opponent and the pres
ent occupant of the presidential
chair as basis for a sweeping ar
raignment and indictment of the party
in power. In thus training the guns
of his political opponents on them.
selves he shows that he is a dialec-
tician of the highest order. DESPITE
the nature of his logic, however. we
doubt that intelligent voters are any
more ready to accept him for the
presidency than they were eight and

The Verdict of Business.

The business world is for Taft with
Ineligible unanimity. South and
north the inrush of business judg-
ment is that Taft is sane and safe
progressive but not radical, modern
but not reactionary. The mail that
pours into Judge Taft's hopper is big
with Democratic assurances that
south and north the men who first do
things with their minds irrespective
of party, will vote for Taft as they
have twice voted for Roosevelt
Maryland will surely sidestep Bryan.
There is one contested section-the
middle west. Bryans defeat next
November will be more overwhelming
than 1t was in November, 1900.-

THE BEST GIFT.

In the hundreds of thousands oil
homes in which the traditions of Christ
mas are annually and lovingly honored
the question OF suitable Christmas gifts
Is often one of perplexity and uhcer-
tainty.
Particularly is this true when the re-
membranes are for the immediate
members OF the family, and all the sug-
gestions of intuition and good judgment
are eagerly analysed to the end that
the gift or gifts may be sensible, prac'
teal, helpful aud. therefore, in accord
with the spirit of the great feast day
What is the best gift? we ask our
selves. and from a Thousand sources
comes the answer, one that has the true
Christmas sentiment behind it. 1t may
be the merest trifie, but If it conveys
love and affection it cannot fail OF ap'
probation. The costliest luxury lack
ing in these essentials conveys no hap
piness either to the one who gives Oh
the one who receives.
