TO STARVE OUT INSURGENTS.

1t is said the insurgent Republican Sena-
tors and members are receiving no mercy,
and expecting little, in the distribution of
the spoils Of the Taft administration. On
the contrary two of the insurgents upon
whose adherents the ak of the official gull
lotine is expected to fall with the most fire.
quency are Senators Dolliver of Iowa. and
La Toilette, of Wisconsin. The head of
Delivers long friend, James S. Clark
son, Surveyor of the Port of New York, has
already dropped into the basket, and an
other friend, Maurice D. 0'Donnell. Solicit
tor Of the Treasury, is said to be on the pro-
scription list. AS for the most obnoxious
of the insurgents, La Toilette, his influence,
so far as Government patronage is con-
cerned, is reduced to a nullity. and control
of the spoil is given to his Wisconsin enc
mics of the Stephenson machine
To close observers of the political field
in Washington the evident purpose of the
Administration is to starve out the friends
of the insurgents in Iowa, Wisconsin. Min
nesota, Kansas and other Western States
Whether this method Of reading them out
of the party will have the desired results
is what remains to be seen. Political his
tory is full of examples in which the star
walton plan has only spread the flames of
instruction. For a good-natured Presi-
dent it is an extremely truculent policy.

a few days ago that new king was ruling

king of the old world four centuries ago.
There is too much individualism ramp

man. The plutocrat enjoys the divine rights
of both man and king-right by might.
During the recent panic do you suppose
that the public could have got any benefit
by going to Congress? No. While those
men in Congress are high-minded, they
could not have come to the aid of the

by fraternalism we can down King

sitting as Court of Equity. No. 254O
Equity.
THE OBJECT of this suit is to obtain a
decree quoting title in the plaintiff to GER
tain property situated in Montgomery coun-
ty,, in the State of Maryland, described in
a deed from Philip T. Stabler and wife to
Julia A: Snowden, dated August 8, 1887,
recorded among the land records of said
county in Liber j. A., No. IS, folio 424.
The bill states that the plaintiff con-
tracted for the purchase of said property
with Philip I. Stabler and wife to whom
the purchase price was paid by her in in
stallments prior to August 3, 1887 that,
being in bad health at that time and hav-
ing four minor children, it was agreed be-
tween the plaintiff and her daughter the
defendant Julia A. Lee, then Julia A.
Snowden, that the legal title would be
conveyed to the latter upon the distinct
understanding that said defendant would
convey the same to the plaintiff at any
time upon her request, or, upon her failure
to make such request during the life time
OF the plaintiff, said defendant would hold
the property as a home for the benefit OF
the family of the plaintiff, said defendant
agreeing to take care of said minor chill
dren in case the property should not be
reconveyed; that upon this agreement the
plaintiff caused said property to Be con-
veyed to said defendant by said Stabler
and wife by deed dated and recorded as
aforesaid; that, after regaining her health
the plaintiff requested and Julia A. Lee
conveyed said property to the plaintiff by
deed dated October 4, 1897, which was
recorded among said land records in Liber
7. D., No. 2, at folio 444; but that her
husband, the defendant Charles Lee, re-
fused to join in said deed of conveyance
and by such refusal has caused cloud to
be and remain on the title of the plaintiff
to said property; that the plaintiff has
been in open and undisputed possession of
said property for more than % years that
both defendants are residents of the Dis
trict of Columbia and non-residents of the
State of Maryland.
1t is thereupon this 10th day of Novem-
Der. A. D. 1909, ordered by the Circuit Court

to be inserted in some newspaper pub

MR.. WICRERSHAMS PLAN TO DE
STROY STATES RIGHTS

Some of the suggestions made by Mr.
Wickersham. the Attorney General of the
United States, in speech in Kansas City,
are almost as startling as the famous prop
osition of Mr.. Root. while in Mr.. Roose-
velt's Cabinet. to make changes of the Con-
stitution of the United States by interpre-
tatiOn. That method of change, it is true,
has already been employed in the courts
for century. But Mr.. Roots proposition
was that the Federal Government should
seize and utilize any of the functions of
the State governments which. in the opin-
ion of the President, the States might not
be properly using. That is, if the States
did not govern properly, the United States
which they might leave undone
Mr.. Wickersham's proposition is scarcely
less startling. 1t is that Congress should
enact law providing for the formation
of corporations to engage in trade and
commerce among the States, protecting
them from undue interference by the
States, regulating their issue Of stock and
bonds, protecting them from any taxation
beyond that which is imposed upon other
similar property. and that these corpora
tons should file their reports with the Fed
eral Bureau of Corporations. And then,
the Attorney-General added. as the climax
of this extraordinary proposition, ut might
be found advisable by Congress at some
future time to prohibit trading corporations
organized under State laws from engaging
in interstate commerce"
Carried out to its logical conclusion, this
plan might speedily deprive the govern.
ments of the States of good part of Their
autonomy and sovereignty. 1t would al
once take from them the free exercise o.
their taxing power. There is scarcely a
business corporation in this State which
does not transact business beyond the
State lines. For Congress to come in anG
prohibit this trade would surely be the
exercise of power which the Constitution
was never intended to confer. The Con-
stitution invests Congress with authority
to regulate commerce between the States
But it nowhere confers any power to pro.
hibit. Is it conceivable that Maryland
would have agreed to the ratification o.
the Constitution if it had been claimed
that that instrument put it in the power
of Congress to prohibit citizens of thi:
State. Incorporating themselves under the
laws of the State. from selling goods OF
trading in Virginia? Mr.. Wickersham is
doubtless. fine lawyer, but his PROPOSE
ton does not sound promising. 1t is cen.
tralization run mad. We were advised the
other day that President Taft had added
to the library in his new Office copy Of
the Constitution. 1t is to be hoped. there
fore. and believed. that he does not share
the views of his Acknowledgement Then
indeed. in that case. would the monument
erected in memory of the dead Constitu-
ton by Mr.. Brady in this city be most ap-
propriate.-BaFfo. Sun.
