Not Aimed at states Rights
Savannah Morning News.)

The decision of the Supreme Court
in the Minnesota and North Carolina
railroad rate cases, declaring GER
tain railroad rate legislation in those
states unconstitutional, on the ground
that it was confscatory and denied
to the railroads equal protection I'M
der the laws, is, judging from the
comments in the public prints, pretty
generally satisfactory Here and
there the position is taken that the
decision is a severe blow to state
rights, but close reading of it
shows that view to be a hasty one.
Speaking Of the Minnesota case, that
being the case in which the claim
was specifically made that the rights
of that state were being interfered
with, the court said:
ut is no more a suit against the
state than is a proceeding which COM
pels an officer of the state to produce
a person in his custody charged with
crime aginst the state before a
federal court or judge, who thereupon
discharges such person on the ground
that his Imprisonment is in violation
of the federal constitution"
The fact is, the court was very
careful not to encroach on the rights
of the states. All of the justices, ex-
cept one, approved the opinion, and
that one is a Republican. 1t is hard
ly probable that the three Democrats
would have given it their approval
if it had been blow at state rights
The truth is the states set out to
accomplish something that was I'M
constitutional. They undertook to
prevent the railroads from appealing
to the federal courts for protection
when they believed their property
was in danger of being confiscated
The states relied on the Eleventh
Amendment to the constitution-the
amendment which safeguards a state
against suits-to protect them in do
ing this, but they failed to give to the
Fifteenth Amendment to the consti-
| tution-the amendment which provi-
| des that no state shall deprive any
| person of property without due pro-
cess of law nor deny any person with
in it's jurisdiction the equal protec-
ton of the laws-the Importance to
| which it is entitled.

Joe Browns Chances
Judge Eugene Ray in Columbus En-

People in every town / have visited
the last two weeks have asked me to
give the situation in the present CUB
ernatOrial race, and l am going to
do it as candidly and as honestly as
l can. Of course, | know that there
are some who will not believe me, but
that does not concern me.
Is Joe Brown going to get any
votes? That is the question. He is.
That is the answer. Will he be elect

surprised if he is, and I'll be surpris-
ed if he isn't. That is another ans

1t is right difficult to size up the
situation In the first place, few
Hoke Smith folks will not talk.
They are ashamed to admit that, af-
ter voting for him once, they are go
ing to vote for him again. And after
having been so enthusiastically for
him once before, they are ashamed
to admit now that he was wrong and
they were wrong. So as it is, a
few of them will not talk. 1t takes
some courage to "own up" There
are many who have owned up. The
few others should be encouraged to
have courage.

have owned up. There are the drum
mers, brave, charitable, generous fell

men who voted for the governor last

merchants, lawyers and doctors and
many a farmer who have changed

But, on the other hand, I saw one

Congressman Heflin, of Alabama,
who introduced a bill providing for
a separation of the races on street
cars in Washington, was attacked
Friday night by a negro whom he
had reproved for drinking and swear
ing in the presence of white ladies on
the car. Mr.. Hefiin fired as the
negro advanced, and inflicted a wound
which felled his assailant, but did
no serious damage. Mr. Hefin had
received a number of threatening let
tiers and got permit to carry a
pistol. The occurrence will be
strong argument to the Washington
ians on the ACCESSIBILITY of providing
separate seats for the races. Nearly
every Southern city has this rule,
and it has been most satisfactory
one.
