The Waldo county commissioners have de-
cided adversely on the appeal OF the Penob-
scot Bay Electric company from the decision
of the selectmen of Searsport refusing them
right of way through that town to Belfast.
Their decision reads: "That the appeal is de-
MED for the reason that the county commls-
sioners are not convinced that the Penobscot
Bay Electric company has any rights in the
town of Searsport under its present charter"

Hepburn Act Is Upheld.


1t has been many a day since a
decision Of the supreme court of the
United States has been received with
so much interest as was manifested
in the decision of that court in what
are known as the commodities
clause" cases, affecting the anthracite
coal carrying railroads. ~
Analysed. Justice Whites decision
is that congress did not transcend it's
constitutional authority in the enact
ment of tie commodities provision,
but on tAe other hand it was held that
the govern Hant's construction of the
provision had been entirely too com
preheas:vc. As construed by the court,
the sole object of the clause is to pre-
vent carriers from being associated
in interest with the commodities trans
ported at the time of transportation,
hence that the law only prohibits the
TRANSPORTATION of articles when they
have been produced by a railway COM
NAM which has not in good faith
par. cd with them. when the company
owns or controls, the commodity TO be
transported. and when the company
has an interest direct or indirect in
the co1lmo@ity in a legal sense. 1t
was eeDeci9lly held, however, that the
prohisiticn does not apply to the own
ership of stock in a producing COM
pany. bat that carrier may own stock
in such a company and at the same
time transport the product of that
company.

eary Whether Prepared or Not.
Former President Theodore ROose-
welt in the current issue of The Out
'ooN, warns Japan that America
VIII have TO take the matter into
It's own hands if the mikado does not
prevent the coming hither in any ap-
preciable numbers of Japanese OF the
laboring and small trading classes.
He says it is the duty of America
to wait to see whether Japan sue
ceeds in enforcing this policy, "wheth-
9r we do or do not believe that it will
be successful" But he adds
If the Japanese government proves
Unable to carry its policy through,
hen undoubtedly this government. by
treaty or by legislation. must protect
itself and secure the desired result on
its own initiative But in such a case
it would be dOIbly incumbent upon us
to take the action in the way that
would provoke the least possible fric-
ton and cause the least possible hard
feeling"
Then Colonel Roosevelt warmly
urged a get-ready policy. He wrote:
1--WE have the right to say, for in
stance, what immigrants shall come to
our own shores; but we are powerless
to enforce this right against any ma
tion that chooses to disregard our
wishes. unless we continue to build up
and maintain a first class fighting
navy
"The professional peace advocate
who wishes US to stop building up our
navy is, in reality, seeking to put us
in a position where we would be absO-
lutely at the mercy of any other nation
that happened to wish to disregard our
desires to control the immigration
that comes to our shores, to protec'
our own citizens abroad, or to take
any stand whatever either for our own
international honor or in the interest
Of international righteousness"
He adds that those well-meaning
but fatuous advocates of peace who
would try tc prevent the upbuilding Of
our navy Uh erly misread the temper Of
their countTymen."
America would fight, he says, wheth-
er prepared or not. and "all the peace
advocates could do would be to pre-
vent this country being successful in
the war"
