Albion and Columbia.

"Albion, the Gem of the Ocean," was
written and composed by Jesse Ham
mond, an English government dock Of
fcial, about 1920 and was heard above
all others in the theaters, music halls
and on London streets. 1t is apparent
that "gem of the ocean" fits an island
more aptly than our large tract OF con-
tinent, and "borne by the red and the
blue" 0he red of the British army and
blue of the navy is more logical than
the meaningless line 'borne by the red,
white and blue" The lines of the Eng
lish songs are almost word for word
Identical with our version, "The Red,
White and Blue Exchange.

ACTION CREATES SENSATION

Executives In Session at Washington
Believe Recommendation Of Legis-

tent--Johnson's Successor Would
Have Federal Courts Barred From
Interfering With Commonwealths
IN Enforcement OF etatc Laws.
Washington, Jan. 20. - Governor
E6erhart, successor to John A. John.
son as executive OF the state Of Min.
uesota, created something of sen.
nation ct the third conference OF
the state executives when he brc ught
before the assembled governors res.
eluuon calling on congress to enact
certain legislation. The excitement
was OF the subdued sort. and there
was little debate at the time over the
resolution, but some of the governors
afterward expressed the idea that the
proposition TO submit tentative legis-
tatlon or suggestions for legislation
20 congress was most radical.
The resolution is aimed to prevent
federal courts from taking oognizance
of cases against common carrier
when the statutes provide a method
by which the orders OF a state com.
mission can be reviewed In the courts
0f the state and when the state
courts have authority to stay the op.
Grafton Of the order pending such
proceedings In review"
~The statutes of the United
States" continues the resolution,
SHOULD expressly provide that the
federal courts shall exercise no juris.
dictiOn whatever, until the final de.
termination OF the proceedings by the
highest court OF the state. IL the
state court has no authority to stay
the operation of the order pending
proceedings in review, then the fed.
eral court to that extent should exer.
else jurisdiction.
, Source Of Irritation.
Interference between the federal
courts with orders OF state railroad
commissions has been in the past
source OF irritation; not SO much be.
cause OF any objection to the exercise
OF federal authority as by reason of
the manner In which that authority
has been exerted. In our opinion the
friction heretofore existing would
largely be obviated II railways and
holders OF their securities were
obliged fully to exhaust the remedies
provided by the states before resort.

che apparent intimation OF the su.
preme court OF the United States"
Governor Eberhart's resolution
came at the end of rather mevent.

Bouri, Governor Fort OF New Jersey
and James Bryce. ambassador from
Great Britain to the United States,
had spoken on various topics. The
Minnesota executive, after reading
his resolution, moved for it's adop

gested that II was OF such Importance
ahat great deliberation was necessary.

SOLD TWO HOGS, GOT NO
CASH, BUT PAID $2.85.
Differences Between Wholesale and
Retail Price of Meat Shown in
a Jersey Transaction.

Salem, n. j., Feb. 3-A farmer
brought two hogs toa local butcher
yesterday and offered them for sale.
A price was quickly agreed on, and
the farmer said he would sell, but
wanted the hams and shoulders. To
this the butcher was willing and after
the weight had been taken the desired
parts of the hogs were cut off and
handed to the farmer, who asked for
the balance coming to him. After fig
uring a moment the butcher replied,
''You owe me $2.S5." And the far
mer had to pay it.
The butcher had bought the hogs at
wholesale price and charged the far
mer retail rates for the parts he re-
served.
In effect the farmer had made the
butcher a present of two hogs, and
had then paid him $2.S5 for certain
parts of them.
