A Taunt That Told.

An Illinois woman of my recogniz-
ance will have a lot to answer for
when she goes up to the white throne
and stands before st. Peter pleading
for box seat. Not long ago, this
woman attended study club where
ladies are wont to gather at stated in
tervals. The program was long and
tedious and as the last lady. to speak
arose, the president, in a sweet and
pleasing manner, explained that the
time was short and requested that the
speaker talk rapidly and plainly,
whereat the IllinOisan referred to in
the opening sentence turned to her
next neighbor and in a voice which
could be heard all about her, said:
What's the use of urging her? She
always talks as loudly and as fast as
she can, anyhow"

49,

The failure of the North Dakota
democrats to indorse Governor john
son and the enthusiastic Endorsement
of Bryan indicates that eastern DEM
ocrats, who have been placing the
Dakotas in the johnson column, have
been mislead as to the real sentiment
of the democracy in North Dakota.
1t is also worthy of not that Cover
nor Johnson is being set down by
the more ardent Bryan men as the
candidate of the Interests. A rec
ent magazine sketch of the Minneso-
ia governor tended to convey this
impression, and the Bryan democrats
in Minnesota are not backward about
sowing this seed of prejudice against
johnson. ALI of the convention pre-
dictions that have had for their pur-
pose demonstration of the POSSIBLE
ity of beating Bryan in convention
with Johnson have numbered Min
'nesota and the Dakotas as to be in
the johnson ealumn. Somebody has
been giving the prophets information
that was off color. At the conven-
ton Attorney Bangs of Grand Forks
was one of the few who made an
address in favor of Johnson. The
unterrified wanted none of him as
a candidate. He was declared by
some of the democrats to be the can.
didate of the New York World-the
inference being that his support
came from contaminated sources
We pointed out few days ago thai
the man who opposed Bryan for tht
democratic nornination would be Sc
down as unsupported by iniquitou
combinations, corporations and indiv
iduals. The temper of the demo
cracy today is, as it has been for tn
past ten or twelve years, for Brya'
and Bryan will have to be finally dis
posed of before any other candidat
gets look in at the presidentia
race.

The recent rate decision of the SUI
preme Court leaves the effect of
much of the state legislation that
has been passed during the past few
years affecting railroads, in doubt.
A good deal of this legislation was
passed with determination that
there should be no appeal to federal
courts and penalties were affixed to
discourage such appeals. 1t was
sought to make the will of the legis-
1ature the last resort. To this the
supreme court of the United States
says that no laws SO passed and
framed will stand the test of con-
stitutionality. There has been for a
long time a serious question as to
the relative rights of state and fed
eral courts in rate legislation mat
tiers. With railroads operating
through dozen states, each of
which may pass legislation varying
considerably, it will be seen that
there is need of some definite declar-
