STATE HAS
NO CONTROL
JUDGE A. M. STEPHENS ON MIN
NESoTA DECISION
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP is
ONLY REMEDY
Democratic League Hears Discussion
of Railroad and Money Questions
at Its Weekly Luncheon.
Next Meeting

The decision of the United States
supreme court in the Minnesota rail-
road punishment cases and the money
question were discussed by speakers at
the weekly luncheon of the Democrat tic
league at the Westminster yesterday
The attendance was unusually large
and is taken as evidence of the increas-
ing interest in the organization as the
campaign approaches. The spirit mani
tested was that of militant democracy
Oscar e. Parish presided and called
OH Judge Albert Stephens for the after
dinner talk. Judge Stephens found his
subject in the decision rendered by
the supreme court yesterday in the
Minnesota railroad cases. According
to this court, Judge Stephens declared,
a sovereign state has no control over
the railroads within it's boundaries
whenever the supreme court deems that
control unreasonable Nor excessive. In
other words, if a state wants to be
mild and soft with these corporations
well and good, but whenever the rail-
roads appeal on the ground of unrea-
sonableness the supreme court is ready
to overthrow the state on the ground
that drastic treatment Is unconstitu-
tiOnal. 1t is the same court which holds
that a railroad is entitled to charge
enough to pay it's maintenance, interest
on bonds and dividends on all it's stock
whether this stock represents water or
not. The railroad always seemed to
have the best of 1t.
"Mr. Bryan and Senator LaFollette
favor railroad rates based on the physi-
cal valuation of the railroads." said
Judge Stephens. But l am afraid that
if this were the law the courts would
hold that the law was confiscation and
unconstitutional Physical valuation is
no remedy. There is no true solution of
the railroad rate question except gov
ernment ownership"
This last expression was applauded.
Money Question Alive
S. A. Waldron declared the money
question was just as much in this cam
paign as in that of 1896, but in this
campaign the Democratic party must
fight with bare fists. The Republicans
in the first Bryan campaign promised
an end to stringencies if the gold
standard was adopted.
I'VE are now in the midst of panic"
said Mr.. Waldron. IF you pick up a
paper you will find the discussion cen-
tralizing on how can we get rid of
panics. They are talking of what
standard of money to adopt. But stand
ards are fallacies. There is no stand
ard. Intrinsic value, as they call it, is
merely ratio and intrinsic value fiuc-
tuates with the production and con-
sumption of the country"
Mr. Waldroh argued for system of

"I believe these girls are sane, and l
base that belief on the fact that they
are my sisters, and therefore L should
have accurate knowledge concerning
their condition. Anna has stronger
mind and her will dominates that of
Maggie. but she depends on Maggie
for care and comfort in her illness.

With tears streaming from her eyes
Mrs, Helen Ward, sister of Anna and
Margaret Wade, the women who nave
been held under the guardianship of
DR.. j. M. Holden of Long Beach as
incompetent to manage their own af-
fairs. made the above statement on
The witness stand in Judge Houser's
department of the superior court yes
terday
Attorney Knight, representing DR..
Holden, objected to the statement of
Mrs. Ward, but the latter declared she
was simply seeking justice for her sis
ters and wanted to take them out OF
the hands of strangers into her own
home, where they could be cared for
All day yesterday the court room
was crowded with interested persons
from Long Beach and Los Angeles to
listen to the proceedings, in which Dr.
A. B. Zimmerman q woman physician
of Long Beach. sought to have the
court revoke the appointment OF Dr'
Holden as guardian of the sisters on
the ground that they are fully capable
of taking care Of their own interests.
Here Two Years
The Wade sisters came to the Pacific
coast two years ago from Hartford,
Conn, following the death of their
father, who left them between $4,000 and
$4,000. The trip was taken in an ef-
fort to restore the health of the
younger sister, Anna, who Is said to be
a sufferer from hysteria.
According to the statement of DR..
II. G. Brainerd, an expert in mental
troubles, Annals mind was filled with
delusions, she believing herself to be
the object Of prosecutions by persons
she described as "they." The only evil
dence noticeable in the older sister,
said the expert, was that she seemed
to accept the views Of the younger
woman as true, and he said it is impos-
sible to say whether Margaret Wade
is subject to deluslons.
Anna also said that many persons
made faces at them while she and her
sister walked along the street. that
others passed their door at night call
ing names and that women wore green
on their hats and clothing simply to
make sport of them ard as a mute ac-
cusation of their verdancy."
Anna, said the physician, stated they

had received a number of marked
coins, sent for the purpose of incrim-
mating them. This money, she said,
had been burned to destroy any evil
dence their enemies might wish to Sc
cure.
Acted as Nurse
DR. Zimmerman said she had acted as
nurse for the two women for four days
in February and could observe nothing
in their actions to indicate an unbal-
anced mind in either.
maggie told us at one time she be-
lieved they were the victims of a plot
between some Long Beach people and
DR.. Holden to get their money" said
the witness, and added that certain
circumstances appeared to bear out
this assertion. When asked for these
circumstances she replied that she
"knew the women had money and l
know If they were poor there would
not have been such great interest in
them as there has been"
Mrs. Helen Ward, the sister of the
two Wade women, who reached Los
Angeles yesterday from her home in
Oak Park, ILL.,, said she had come to
take her sisters back to Illinois with
her if possible.
'They are as sane as those who say
they are not" she declared. after
my arrival" she continued, 'I went to
Mrs. Pillsbury's house, where my sis
ters were. and was told by Anna that
they were being held as prisoners"
Wrote to Sister
She said she had received one letter
from Anna in which the latter wrote:
"Oh. sister, come to us; they say we
are incompetent and we need you. Oh,
do come to us; please come"
Thomas w. Williams, chief of police
of Long Beach, said the girls came to
his office on February and asked for
assistance in helping them to get word
to relatives in the east.
"They told me Mrs. Pillsbury had
gone to Los Angeles and left them
locked up in the house." said the Of
ficer "They broke out and came to
my office and told me they were being
held against their will. 1 promised to
notify their sister in Oak Park, Ill,
and later did so. I believe the women
to be perfectly sane"
The proceedings were continued until

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Dr.. Metchinkoff Of the Pasteur Insti-
tute, the noted specialist and student OF
the human organism, has discovered a
new disease, which. he has named
"Macrophagocytosls." 1t Is, in plain
New Haven language, the disease OF
old age. which the scientist asserts. is
durable.
However. In spite Of the savant's as
sertions, we cannot prevent age from
getting hold on us. The only thing to
do is not to grow old before our time.
In order TO stay young, therefore, we
must observe careful and methodical
hygiene, regulate the life, work moder-
ately both physically and mentally;
avoid violent emotions and excitement,
sleep sufficiently, and live in the coun-
try If possible. As to eating, dine as
often as you can at Bishops Colonnade,
Savin Rock, and you will eat "intelli-
gently" and beat the allotted three
score and ten by about twenty years.
There's a difference in what you eat
and how it's handed to you.
