THE BIRTHDAY OF WASH
INGTON.

The flight of time has brought us
once more to celebrate reverently the
birthday of George Washington.
Today the story of the cherry tree
and the hatchet again is being told TO
impressionistic youth; the men who
make the laws of the great nation that
Washington made possible arc listening
TO the reading of his memorable Fare
well Address. while in every avenue Of
trade and finance some tribute is being
paid to the man of whom it has been
said-"no nObler figure ever stood in
the front of a nations history"
II is meet that these things should
be. It is well that in the fullness Of
succeeding years there should come the
deeper realization of what a wonderful
heritage George Washington left his
country.
In the centuries to come, when the
fame OF other patriots shall have dim
med, the memory of Washington will
burn as brightly as ever. He holds a
niche all his own in the history of the
greatest nation on earth His name IS
uttered wherever civilization holds
sway. No foreign tourist ever visited
the Capital of the United States but
that he thought first Of Mt. Vernon
and the tomb of Washington It ex-
emplifes the respect that other nations
have for the memory of the founder of
our own.
Soldier. patriss, statesman, President,
there is much about him to remember.
If this nation mas sung in latter years
the praises of Lincoln, who saved the
nation, more than the praises of Wash
ington, the man who brought it into
being, it has been because Of the mar
tyrdom Of the former. The two names
are inseparabIei they viii live when
succeeding leaders are gone and have
been almost forgotten.
That Is why a holiday has been pro.
claimed at the seat Of Government to-
day. and that is why members of the
House and Senate will sit soIemnlv by
and hear read TO them the farewell
words that electrified and saddened the
followers OF George Washington more
than a hundred years ago.

IMPORTANT RULING IN KAN
SAS RAILROAD CASE.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has handed down an important
decision in a case in which it upholds
the judgment of the supreme court of
Kansas in issuing an order to compel
the Missouri Pacific Railway Company
to operate a passenger train from Madl-
son, Kan, to the Kansas-MissoUri State
line. The constitutionality of the law
creating the railroad commission OF
Kansas is upheld The contention Of
the railroad company was that Se
operation of the train in question was
a loss to the road, and that, therefore
it was cOnfscation Of property TO COM
pei it to operate It
But the Supreme Court took a
broader view of the matter. 1t held
that even if this particular train was
operated at loss 10 the road, the ques-
ton of confscation rested on the earn
iugs of the entire system and not on
the question of whether this single
train was losing money. 1t held, fur
Their. that the railroad was under obi
cations to rIn the train as long as II
retained its charter, thus recognizing
the fact that the railroad company owes
an important duty to the public
While the Supreme Court in this Kan
sas case did not enunciate doctrine en-
tirely new 10 itself, the disposition il
is showing to maintain that the rail
road owes a duty to the public that
cannot be overlooked or forgotten vii
give great satisfaction 70 those who be
lieve in Government regulation Of rates
IF there is ever to be effective regula
ton Of rates by the Government, i
must not be possible for a railroad com
psny to nullify an order of the Inter
state Commerce Commission lowering I
given rate, simply because that rate
singled out from the whole fabric o
rates, can be shown to be too low to b
compensatory. It would look much a
