pleted in Important Case.

Argument was completed, Monday
night. in Judge Murfin's court in the
case of Detroit & Mackinac railroad

Churchill Lumber Co. and the Island
Lumber Co., Of Alpena, and the Mich
igan railroad commission. The case

pers of logs In the northern part OF
the state, and In all other states
where numbering operations are con-
Quoted on a large scale.
The case brings up the question OF
the right of the railroad commission
to abrogate a rate and make one OF
its own liking. The plaintiff derives
q great deal Of its business In car
rying logs, and much Of this business
Is done over branch lines built joint
~ by the railroad company and the
lumbermen. A rate Of 1915 for hard
wood and $3.50 for hemlock was es-
tablished, but after the lumber be-
came scarce the lumbermen objected
TO the rate and asked for a fiat rate
OF $275. The railroads refused and
offered rate OF So. The lumbermen

and that body made an entirely new
rate. The railroad claims that roads
built as these were on private prop
erty for the convenience of shippers,
are not common carriers, and that,
therefore, the commission has no
authority over them. Attorney James
Mcnamara, who represented the
plaintiff, claimed that the law is full
OF Inconsistencies, in that il gave the
commission the power OF both prose-
cutor and judge. He argued that the
commission had not the power to
make a rate and then act in judicial
authority.
Mr.. Mcnamara believes the matter
OF such Importance that he will call
the attention of the legislature to the
law, and recommend an amendment
Judge Murfn will not be ready
with his decision for several weeks
as II involves "a great deal OF study,
but no matter what his decision the
case will probably be carried to the
highest court in the country, and the
decision will affect lumbermen in
every state In the union.

This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort, and overcome a

miseries as Belching of Gas, Eructa-

and other Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long TO find
relief from Indigestion and Dyspep'

the common, everyday cures adver-
fised that they have about made up
their minds that they have something
else wrong, or believe theirs is a case

This, no doubt, is a serious mistake.
Your real trouble is, what you eat does
not digest; instead. II ferments and

Trnst onestion First.

1t is stated in Washington that
President Taft's third annual mes
sage, which goes to Congress Tues
day, will be devoted to the trust
question" The message contains
from 5000 to 5000 words, and
with the exception Of a few refer
ences in a general way to other re-
lated subjects, will deal with the
question of industrial combinations
alone. Although details Of the
message have not been made pub
lie, It is understood that federal in
corporation, as outlined by Mr. Taft
two years ago, VIM be suggested
again as a method for solution of
the problem. The president has in
dictated his aversion to amendment
of the Sherman Antitrust act and
from his talks with callers the in
ference was drawn that there Is no
suggestion OF such amendment in
the message
in sending an annual message to
Congress devoted to one subject
alone, the president will establish
precedent. 1t is usual for the chief
executive to point out the need OF
all sorts of Legislation and to give
in brief form the history of the past
year SO far as the government is
concerned. This will be done away
with in the present message and
later On Mr.. Taft will send special
messages to Congress dealing with
important subjects. The president
expects to discuss the tarin in a
separate message to be written after
December IL. The Tarih Board, 1t
is stated, will not be able to make
its report on the wool and cotton
schedules until then and the mes
sage will not be undertaken until
that report is ready.
Conservation. including the de-
velopment OF Alaska, viii be dealt
with either in a separate message
or in one that takes in many sub
iects exclusive of the trusts and the
tariff. In addition to these sug-
gestions to Congress. Mr.. Taft hopes
to send in reports ~ mo pos'T
commission, the railway securities
commission, the economy and et-
ficIency commission and possibly
others before the usual holiday ad-
journment.

tribute TO Clarksburg and certainly

advertising It so well through the
columns OF one Of the nations cap

appeared In the Post:

better chance to get the real po-
lftical situation in a state than one
who has lived there all his Hfe," re-
marked w. G. Hazen, former chief
OF the secret service, at the New

turned from a trip to West Vir-

when he spoke.

was a pretty wide split in the party
IN the last election. and the result
was the election Of Democratic con-
Eressmen. Normally. West virginia

In the party was the cause OF its

''Now the Republicans are using
every EFFORT TO get the factions to-
Fether, and In every part OF the

line. II this happens. it looks as II
the state will go back into the Re-
publican column. The Democrats
have taken advantage OF their VIC
tory and. perfected their organiza-
4ion, and NO matter whether the
Republicans harmonic or not they
win mako a stiR night to repeat their
victory OF 1910. My judgment
from . superficial observation. is
that the Republicans are going to
settle their differences and elect a
governor and give plurality for
Taft next year.

astonishing rate" added Mr.. Hazen.

enacted by Congress March 3, 1911.
TO become effective January 1, 1872
The code provides that after the
latter date there shall be only the
district courts, the nine circuit
courts OF appeal and the supreme
court. The existence of the circuit
court since 1891, when the circuit
courts OF appeal we're created, has
been regarded as expensive and. su-
perhuous.
The twenty-nine circuit judges
will not lose their places as they
will continue 10 sit In the circuit
courts OF appeals and help out In
the district courts. All the clerks
of the circuit courts will have their
positions abolished. At the same
time restrictions will be placed up
on the amount that district court
clerks may draw as salary. Under
a special law the clerk of the dis
trict courts In eastern Kentucky
was entitled to $500 and fees for
each place In which either court
sat. AS each court sat In five diff
ferent places, he was entitled to
S35, 900 a year II the fees amounted
to that much. Other clerks we're
unusually favored by special legis-
1ation. Hereafter 1t Will be impos-
sibIe for a clerk to receive more
than $500.
The passing away of the circuit
courts is but one OF the reforms OF
the new code. After January /.
the chief justice OF the United States
will receive $4,000 perannum and
each associated justice S14.5oo.

DEMOCRACY SILLY
SAYS DEAN INGE
Ard His Utterance Starts a
Widespread Controversy
in ENGLAND.

LONDON, Dec 2.-"Democracy Is
perhaps the sillIest OF all fetishes
seriously worshipped among u.s.
This utterance OF Dr.. Inge, Dean CT
st. PauI's before an audience of
women at Sion College, has started a
widespread controversy in the pull
pit and press OF England. The state
ment was made during the first OF q
series of lectures on 1.-The Co-Opera-
ton of the Church With the Spirit OF
the Age"
DR.. Inge, after referring to the
great achievements Of the nineteenth
century. said that that great epoch
was now over, and civilization was
sitting pensiveIy in the midst of her
accommodations like the figure OF Mel
ancholia. The speaker declared that
the era OF scientific discoveries was
happily not closed, but in all other
fields signs of exhaustion were very
apparent.
.aFor the man in the street." said
the speaker, "the tottering OF the
great Industrial fabric Of the nine
teenth century dominated all other
issues. A population Of forty-eight
millions had been massed on two
small islands, while Englandmen
were making England the workshop

that the natural advantages which
had made Great Britain master of the
commercial world had either passed
or were passing and that America
had now become the natural center OF

MOTHER

Women who bear children and re-
