preme Court reversed and remandej
the decision of the United State
circuit court in the commodities claus
cases, but did not give directions as
the character of DEGREES which shat
be entered. The only directions wcr
to enforce and apply the statute a
it is now construed.
The following is a summary of tn
opinion in the commodities cases:
First-The claim of the governmcn
that the provision contained in the
Hepburn act, approved June 20, 1906
commonly called the commoditie
clause, prohibits a railway compan
from moving commodities in interstat
commerce because the company has
manufactured, mined or produced
> them, or owned them in whole or in
part, or has had an interest, direct o
indirect in them, wholly irrespectiv
of the relation or connection of tEt
carrier with the commodities at the
time of transportation, is decided io
De untenable.
1t is also decided that the provision
of the commodities clause relating -
interest, direct or indirect, does net
embrace an interest which a carrie
may have in producing corporation
as the result of the ownership by tn
carrier of stock in such corporation,
which the carrier may own in such
corporation, provided the corporation
has been organized in good faith.
J. Second. Rejecting the constructiO
placed by the government upon tho
commodities clause, it is decided tina
the clause when all its provisions are
tremendously construed has solely FIR
its object to prevent carriers engage
in interstate commerce from being
associated in interest at the time Of
transportation with the commoditie
Transported and therefore the commO
dities clause only prohibits railro9d
companies engaged in interstate com
merce from transporting such com
merce commodities under the follow
ing circumstances and conditions:
"A-When the commodity has been
manufactured, mined or produced by d
railway company or under its author
ity and at the time of transportation
the railway company has not in good
faith before the act of transportation
passed with its interest in such com
modify.
"B-When the railway company
owns a commodity to be transported
in whole or in part.
"C-When the railway company aC

in such corporation. Such ownershi

BEST for RiacuIfa

A prominent teacher in one of the
Domestic Science schools in Mississippi
writes that she is using Cottolene in her
lessons with excellent results. She says:
For biscuits Cottolene is all that
could be desired. The biscuits are light
and naky with none of that disagreeable
odor often found in foods sh Ortened
with lard. Cottolere is also an excel
lent medium for frying croquettes and
doughnuts It gives them a clean, crisp.
brown crust"
Other noted experts, such as Mrs.
Rorer and Marion Harland, have given
similar testimony to the merits of Cot
tolene. 1t is a cooking fat made from
the finest vegetable oils; it gives better
results than lard, and it is much more
wholesome and economical as well.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most COM
mon of all ills, and it is certainly
gratifying to sufferers to know that
Chamberlain's Liniment will afford re-
lief, and make rest and sleep possible.
In many cases the relief from pain,
which is at first temporary, has be-
come permanent, while in old people
subject to chronic rheumatism, often
brought on BY dampness or changes in
the weather. permanent cure cannot
be expected; the relief from pain
which this liniment affords is alone
worth many times it's cost. 25 and

Barrel Chased The Child.

If a man with three drinks of
whisky under, his belt cannot
walk with firewater be blamed
for rolling from the curb into the
gutter?
If the barrel in its mad career
chases and runs over a child, can
the owner of the barrel and the
whisky be held liable for injuries
to the child on the ground that
he was negligent?
In one case at least Judge w.
G. Cady in municipal court, says
NO" An account was brought
by Margaret Flanagan, who is
some ten years old, by her moth
er, as guardian, against Oswald
Weinreb, the owner of the bar
rel.
1t was claimed that the barrel
was left in such a position that
when the little girl passed it took
after her.
Mr.. Weinreb, who appeared by
Attorneys Ferguson & Hennesey,
denied that the rampage o f
the barrel was his fault. He al
so denied having given authority
to have any one place the barrel
in the street. The decision by
Judge Cady is for Mr.. Weinreb,
who is given costs. -Syr acuse

Gov. Beckham got pretty close
to Gov. Wilson when he told him
through the columns of the State
Journal that instead of giving
Kentucky black eye by lectur-
ing in the east on night riders
and my soldiers" he should talk
fair gerrymandering to the east
erners. 1t is a notorious fact
that in every Republican state
the gerrymander against the
Democrats is much worse than it
is against the Republicans in
Kentucky, yet Gov. Wilson has
appointed a commission to sug-
gest some method of redistricting
this state on fair basis" But
the Governor is such a partisan
himself that we do not believe he
would be pleased with any
change unless it gave the Re-
publicans a majority of the Con-
gressmen, the Legislature, "a ma
jority of the Circuit Judges and
