state Judges George Gray and George M. Dallas filed opinions dis missing the suits and Judge Joseph Burlington dissented but did not file an opinion The commodities clause prohibits railroad companies from transporting in interstate commerce an article or commodity manufac- tured, mined or produced by them or under their authority. The case was argued in June. United States Attor- ney General Bonaparte delivering the principal argument for the govern ment The effect of the commodities clause, If constitutional, would be to confine the mining of anthracite coal by the railroads for use in Pennsylva- mia only, or to compel the railroads to sell all the mining property in which they are interested, either ii- rectly or indirectly.
 The decision of the court did not come as a great surprise It is almost certain that the case will be appeal ed directly to the United States su- preme court.
 The principal opinion was written by Judge Gray who, as president of the anthracite strike commission has an intimate knowledge of the mining of hard coal and of the many ramih- cations in the ownership of the coal mines. Judge Dallas said in his opin- ion that the commodities clause was enacted mot actually for the regula- ton of interstate commerce. but real ly to coerce the conformity of inter state business with policy approved by congress,
 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 ques- tion, the unreasonabeness and conse- quent invalidity of this so-called "com- modities clause" is apparent. It invades I the rights of the state by striking down the liberty hitherto innocently enjoyed by it's citizens under the laws and usages of the commonwealth, I engage Tn inter-stat commerce to the fullest extent as to all harmless arti- cles, whether owned or not owned by the carrier, and deprives of their prop erty those defendants contrary to- the letter and spirit of the fifth amend. ment to the constitution If the en. actment in question be warranted by the commerce clause of the constit,l. tion 1t Is hard to see what bounds may be set to the expenditure of that DOW. CT, 1t will indeed be an open dooi through which the forces of a central ization hitherto unknown may enter a will to overthrow of that just balanc, between federal and state power fol which the maker of the constitution SC wisely provided as an essential to tn, preservation of our dual form of gov ernment
 we confine ourselves to the con crete facts presented by the pleading
 in these cases and intimate no opiniot either way as to cases where propert, has been acquired by the carriers sub sequent to the passage of the act.

COmparisOn.

Senator Foraker has been turned
out, kicked out with obloqy, from
the ssspciation with Candidate Taft to
which he recently consented only after
earnest solicitation by Taft's mana
gers, says the Boston Globe.
The cause of this unsrateful and
vociierous expulsion was the revela-
ton of the fact, which Foraker adj
mits. that he once took $4,000 from
the Standard Oil company to buy d
newspaper and returned the money
promptly when he found the news
paper was not for sale
Such a delicate sense of honor is
surprising. When Mr. Cortelyou was
running Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign he
found there was need Of money to buy
the vote of the state of New York in
tue last days before election. He got
the money-"swads'' of it-from Har-
riman and from Perkins and others
of the New York Life Insurance peo-
pie. When Judge Parker exposed
this corruption President Roosevelt de.
MED it in an indignant proclamation
from the White house. 1t subsequently
appeared that the money was given
as alleged and for the purposes al
legged.
What is the difference between this
situation and that which is exploited
today?
Simply this: Cortelyou. who did not
return the money. was made secretary
of the treasury by the president III
whose interest the money was spent
And Foraker, who did return the
money when he found he could not
use it in the way intended is driven
into the wilderness, a scapegoat.

Wasted ROYAL Effort.

The king of Wurttemberg while out
motoring in the country with the
Grand Duke Adolphus of Mecklenburg
saw coming toward him cart drawn
by a white horse in which were seated
a sturdy old peasant and his wife
As the motor car approached the white
horse became very FESTIVE, pranced,
reared and finally fell down on the
roadway. The king and the grand
duke Immediately ordered the chauf-
feur to stop and. getting down from
the car, went to the assistance OF the
fallen animal. Meanwhile the two
old peasants sat stolidly in the cart
and made not the slightest effort to
raise the horse. The grand duke seiZ-
ed the creatures head, and the king
proceeded to loosen the traces. After
a good deal of trouble the horse was
got upon its legs again and .rehar-
messed. and then the grand duke adj
dressed the old man in the cart.

Its all right now. my good man.

Always Il Welcome for Bryan.

was the welcome he received unusual
for him here Whether he has come

The maze was located 4 few rods
from the hotel, its compact walls of
evergreen rising ten feet high. The lit
tie opening which revealed a narrow
curving path possessed the undeniable
charm of mystery. But Lettice. recall
ing tales she had heard of tourists wan

agined that Il maze would cover acres"
Inwardly she felt lconvinced of her
ability to walk triumphantly TO the
center and out again. She looked ut the
clock. 1t was three-quarters of an hour
before the coaching party was to start.
Bigger things than the conquest of a
maze had been accomplished in that
time
Lettice stepped through the opening
into the narrow path with its high,
green walls. promising herself that she
would turn back before there was any
likelihood of losing her way. And al
most on the moment she forgot that
possibility The path was very narrow,
so narrow that the most amicable pair
could not have walked abreast. The
dense foliage of the evergreen was for
all practical purposes impenetrable as
granite Overhead was the blue Cali

lions OF blossoms.

Lettuce. The big outside world was 70

winding paths, not knowing where
