The decision of the United States
supreme court, invalidating the en-
ployer's liability act, with five JUS
tees in favor and -four against the de-
cision, shows a condition by which
of all railways, under the constitution
as it now stands, would have a slim
chance. The ground upon which the
majority opinion was based was a
mere technical construction of that
provision of the constitution giving
congress power to regulate commerce
between the states. The point is that
it was a case of showing the hands OF
the Justices and then weighed in the
balance five were found to be pro-
corporation and four anti-corporation.
With that as the siuation, any act
undesirable to the railways would suf-
fer a like fate.
The sort of an act which Roosevelt
wants would regulate and control
railways somewhat as national banks
are regulated and controlled. 1t would
of necessity go into a thousand de-
tails and the mere compelling of the
use of automatic couplers, air brakes
and the like, as required by the inval-
idated employers liability act, would
be one of the tamest and vet most hui
name of such details. If congress has
not the power to compel the use of au-
tomato couplers inc air brakes, it
has no power whatever as affecting
the regulation of railways. Surely,
the protection Of life and limb is quite
as much, if not a shade more, within
the powers of a supreme law making
body than Of debating what common
carriers may charge for service rem
dered. But if the railroads made
any objection to government rate reg
~ulation, or had any occasion to do so.
they were obiecting, lobbying and
spending money to prevent the pas
sage of any law forcing them to use
appliances to prevent loss of life and
limb. Their dollars they held of more
Importance than thearms, legs and
lives Of their men IT was not until
President Harrison time that any
thing was done, which came in the
shape of the so-called employer liabil-
ity act, and applying to railways. For
twenty years or more prior to that
time the measure had been urged but
was successfully blocked by the rail
ways, which used the same argu-
ments as those of today against rate
regulation, namely: "give the rail
ways time and they will do it them
selves; do not harass them by laws
that discourage
Until compelled by law to do so the
railways never adopted measures OF
the kind. Pleas to be left alone and
they will do these things themselves
are their whole stock of arguments

QUEEN rlYI.

Goodwin's Weekly: In the Geogra-
phic Magazine is an account of the
discovery a little over a year ago
this month, by Theodore M. Davis of
Newport, of Queen Tiyi's tomb, and
mummy in Egypt. Queen Tiyi was not
of noble birth, but gained the throne
through her marvellous beauty, be
coming queen of Amenhoten Ii. She
ruled Egypt when it was at the height
of its power and wealth, some $500
years ago.
Her mummy was in a golden coffin
made in human form and richly stud
ded with jewels and precious stones.
A vulture diadem of gold was placed
around her neck and her body was
wrapped in sheets Of gold The tomb
confined four canopic vases and dishes
and exquisitely engraved furniture
The picture of the head and face
of the mummy shows that she must
have been most beautiful. She no
doubt dreamed in her lifetime that
she would fix a place where her final
sleep never would be disturbed, but
now she will be ON exhibition in the
meuseum I Carlo for modern vulga-
rians to look upon. How long has
been her sleep in the golden robes,
asleep while the centuries have ebbed
and flowed, only to be broughtout at
last for modern men to gaze at
and wonder, if, after all. human ma
ture has changed, and if there is any
new thing under the sun. The ro-
nance and awe that hangs about old
Egypt will evidently be lessened.
She and her Nile will always be in
the concernment of man. As the Nile
flows on for ages and men wondered

senger. Voight was severely injured,
and sued the railroad for damages on
the ground of gross negligence, argu-
ing that the railroad company could
not make a contract evading it's re-

Judge Taft gave Voight a judgment
of $4,000 and costs, holding that the
express company had no right to make
such contracts; that they were oppres-
sive, unreasonable and unjust, and
were against public policy, and further
that the railroad company owed to the
express messenger the same public
duty which it owed to a passenger.

Holland window shades no longer fit
for the windows may be utilized in
several ways. First, they should be
cleaned by soaking from ten to fifteen
minutes in cold water and then boiled
in soap and water in the boiler for FIVE
minutes. They can then be easily
cleaned. They may be used to cover
the ironing board and will be most
durable and satisfactory. They may
also be shaped into aprons by cutting.

Forerunner OF Present humane
Statute.
A striking service to humanity which
William II. Taft rendered in his judic-
ial career is recalled by Eugene l..
Ware, former Commissioner of Pen
sions, in a letter to the Kansas City
Star. Mr.. Ware refers to what was
known as the "Voight case," which was
decided by Judge Taft in 1897. Judge
Taft's decision, although overruled by
the United States Supreme Court, is
really the pioneer of section of the
present employers liability law, which
was passed through the efforts of
President Roosevelt and Republican
Congress, and approved April %, 1908.
Voight was an express messenger
who, to get his job, had to sign an
agreement releasing the express COM
pany from liability in case he was in
iured or killed. The express company
