WASHINGTON, Feb. H.--In more than
fifty decisions the supreme court OF the
United States today passed on the findings
of the lower federal courts and state tri-
bunals in more than half the states in the
union Many state laws were declared un-
constitutional, more upheld and the laws
of the United States given a final interpre-
tation.
The Importance of state railroad laws de-
cided exceeded any other line Of cases.
The state of Minnesota won complete
victory over the Great Northern Railway
company and the Chicago Great Western
company, which had resisted the states
attempt to levy per cent gross earn
ings tax on them.
The state Of South Carolina likewise won
a victory over railroads when the court
adopted the view of the supreme court Of
South Carolina that the law requiring rail-
roads to pay penalty Of $50 for failure
to adjust within ninety days claims for
losses applied only to intrastate traffic.
Must Furnish Service.
The state Of Kansas came out victorious
in it's fight with the Missouri Pacific Rail
road company for the installation Of sepa-
rate passenger trains on branch road
from Madison, Kan, to the Kansas Mis-
souri, state line. 1t was in this case that
the court announced the doctrine that
will reach every state that even If this
passenger train was operated at loss,
the railroad was under a duty to perform
such service as long as it retained its char
ter
The state of Alabama had its statute
levylng an annual franchise tax on foreign
corporations declared Unconstitutional
Railroads brought the, case to the supreme
court. The state of Georgia lost In most

soul from pier No. "a to sail out into

Godspeed for Mark Twain was nearer
the popular heart than any living
author.
Everyone read Mark Twain's books.
Two generations have read Innocents
Abroad and Roughing It, Tom Sawyer
and Huckleberry Fin with equally
pure delight and have gone back TO
read them over and over again. Other
books by Mr.. Clemens have met al
ways with instant popular favor; but
of late years the personality of the
man has overshadowed the popularity
of the author. Mark Twain has been
more popular than his books. He has
been taken into every stratum Of
of American life as a friend Of the
family We have watched his goings
in and comings out, smiled in his hap
piaess and felt his sorrows-which
have been many. Perhaps no man in
the United States, unless perhaps,The-
odore Roosevelt. has been more in the
public mind and sympathies than Mark
Twain. His very oddities endearei

WILSON OFF HIS BASE.

In recent address at Princeton
alumni banquet in New York, Wood
row Wilson, president Of Princeton
recent Lincoln celebration I asked my
self if Lincoln would have been as
seryiceable TO the people of this coun-
try had he been college man, and 1
was obliged to say to myself that he
would not The process to which the
college man is subjected does not rem
der him serviceable to the country as
a whole
This is one OF number Of startling
sayings in the same speech. Mr.. Will
son led up TO this sweeping assertion
by declaring that the churches-at
leas, the protestant churches, he said
are serving the classes and not the
masses. and that the same is true of
the colleges I'VE look" he said, for
the support of the wealthy, and neglect
our opportunities TO serve the people
1t is for this reason the state university
- HeIu IA poPu4ei app ONoi, "-i-1S l1iS
privately supported institution to
which we belong is coming to suffer a
corresponding loss of esteem
1t is by considering the general pessi-
mistic character of the address that an
estimate is TO be PUT upon the declara-
ton that a college education, coupled
with the things that go with it, does
not improve the man as servant OF
mis- country. Mr.. Wilson seemed to
be in the way of looking at the dark
side Of things. Maybe at another time
he would be less discoura ging.
Issue IS not TO be taken with Presi-
dent Wilson as to Lincoln. Lincoln
seems to have been perfectly adapted
to his task. That means. Of course.
that had he been different from what
he was, that difference being due to
college training or what not, his adap-
liability to his task would have been
impaired.
But one swallow doesn't make a
supper, if the smile be not 100 cheap.
The logic of the Wilson declaration is
that, taking the institutions Of higher
learning as they are, we would be bet
ter without them and without their
product With all due respect to the
head Of Princeton, we don't believe it.
If in no other way than as leaven to
the mass, the man of college train
ing serves his country the better for
citizenship as a whole, on the course
of human affairs and civilization, is
salutary. Surely, on sober reflection,
this can't be matter Of doubt in the
mind Of man like Wilson, to say
nothing of being sweepingly denied

THE PASSING LEADERS.

The announcement of the intention
of Senators lAldrich and Hale to retire
from public life at the close OF their
present terms in the senate, which
come 10 end March 4 next, has cre-
ated a profound impression turnout the
country. There are a few politicians
who openly rejoice at the passing OF
these strong men from public activities.
1t means to them victory for a FAC
tionaI party conflict which has been
fostered by the undertaking magazines
and newspapers of the country.
But TO the earnest, conscientious
men OF the republican party and to
many others, irrespective OF party, the
retirement of Senators Hale and AL
drich is a matter of deep regret. In
them the nation loses two of its strong
est and most capable citizens.
Those who value public men for
their real ability deeply regret the loss
of Aldrich and Hale. But their pass
ing was inevitable" - Burlington

The passing of Aldrich in national
affairs is like the passing Of the rail-

WHAT is a GREAT woMAN9

Times-Republican: A recent arti-
Gle in the Times-R Republican un-
der the caption "A Great Wom-
an" asks the pertinent question
What is great woman? and gives the
impression that in order to be great
a woman must be mother, and, to
quote the article in question the cen
ter and heart and hope and inspiration
of a happy home rather than she
''harangue the mob from dry goods
box, wear pants and vote" Now as
this is from mans standpoint think
it only fair to give the other side from
a woman's point of view.
In the article referred to, reference
was made to Governor Stubs. Is it
not possible the governor has awaken
ed to the fact that woman very rea-
sonably desires few other rights be-
sides the exclusive one of populatinS
the earth? Any woman or man either.
be they ever so brave, has a natural
dread of torture and death and aside
from the agony and danger incident to
the birth of every child, nine women
out of ten believe. and rightly believe,
that under the present one-sided sys-
tenn Of government and the resulting
social conditions it is sin to bring a
helpless human being into the world. II
the child is boy. what with cigarets,
liquor, lax morals and their attendant
vices and misery. his chances of at
tanning manhood's estate and still re-
tanning some small shreds of health,
decency and usefulness are decidedly
small.
If a girl what guarantee have we
that she will not be caught in the awful
maelstrom of vice that annually hurts
to dishonor and death $4,000 of the
finest flower of our American woman
hood. Or. escaping that, she becomes
the llonored(?) wife of the sort of man
just cited is she any better OFF?
Given the power by means of the bal
lot to protect our children, our homes,
we would not be SO 10th to bring
them into the world The most awful
thought that ever occurs to woman
is: What will become Of my children II
u die? Suppose woman has per
formed her duty" and has several chill
dren and has, SO exhausted her strength
that she must pass over the silent river.
are these children provided for, and
reared and educated by the govern
ment? We know they are not Then
why should a woman endure so much
and risk premature death for the
pleasure and benefit of people who
will not even recognize her title to any
right other than those of producer
of children?
Woman has no country, no flag, no
protection: why should she not refuse
to be mans "inspiration" until ne gives
her these just rights, And may she
not then be a great woman!

and actually submitted to J. w. Blythe
for office he should support. Here was
a great man and a clean man per-
sonally but an integral part of system
which was wrong from the bottom up.
And there was Dave Henderson, a
man of ability, speaker of the house
because he belonged to the system. A
movement started in the states aided
by the magazines and by the news
papers and by the preaching Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt altho led by local lead
ers which demanded that government
by the special interests give way to
government by the people. Henderson
died. Allison died and Blythe died.
Where are the faces that We're so
familiar around state conventions in
Iowa ten years ago? Has the party
failed to give real public service since
then? Recall the reform legislation
in Iowa under Cummins. There has
been a new deal. There is a new kind
Of leadership sent from Iowa to Wash
ington. Aldrich IS going to retire So
is Hale. Cannon will retire or be re-
tired. Is not the movement spreading
thruout the nation? What did Indiana
say when Beveridge asked as to where
it stood What have congressional dis
tricts in Massachusetts and in New
York done to standpat candidates for
congress? What is the almost univer-
sal feeling turnout the nation as to
President Taft's leadership today?
Could he be elected president this fall
on the strength of his endorsement of
the leadership of Aldrich and Hale and
Cannon? Could the republican party
win endorsing Aldrich and Cannon?
Answer these questions honestly for
yourself and you have given the correct
measure Of the greatness Of Mr.. AL
drich as party leader. Z.
