UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL
State Railway Commissions
May be Eliminated.
SUPREME COURT DECISION
Interstate Roads Must Comply
With Appliance Act.

Complete control of the railroads OF
the country by the interstate com
merce commission and virtual elimi :
nation Of the state commissions from
such control Is forshadowed in an
opinion handed down by the supreme
court Of the United States.
The court held that hereafter all
locomotives. cars or other equipment
used on any railroad. which is a high.
way Of interstate commerce. must
comply with the federal appliance act.
In its opinion the court held that
compliance with the federal law is
compulsory on all railroads engaged
In the transportation Of persons or
freight from one state to another.
Elaborating upon this, however, 1t
held that the cars or equipment OF
such road; even If engaged 10 trans
portation within the confines of IL
state must be considered as part aud
parcel Of the road and therefore CON-
pletely under the Jurisdiction of the
federal commission.

Italian Cruelties Alleged.

Reports from Tripo!i telling of
barbarities committed by the Italian
troops in their war against the Turks
and Arabs are stirring Europe and
America. The reports, it IS said,
have been confirmed from official
sources and appeals have come to
England to stop the atrocities in the
name of humanity.
1t is declared that the Italians
suffered serious reverse and lost
heavily, the Arabs assisting the
Turks Ia an effort to retake the city,
and in their frenzy the invaders have
sought TO terrorize the natives by
indiscrirninate slaughter of women
and children, several hundred Of the
noncombatants being ruthlessly killed
in their homes. A reign of terror is
said to exist IN Tripoli.
BY order of his government the
Turkish ambassador at Washington,
on Nov. 5, appealed to the United
States to exert itself to put stop to
practices that he declared were in
plain violation of the rules of war
fare.

Cost of Civil War.

Actual hostilities in the war Of
the rebellion commenced upon the

Gov. Hooper of Tennessee.

Over the state Ia general the
temperance laws are successfully en-.
forced, but, Of course, not perfectly.
The consumption Of whiskey has
greatly diminished In Tennessee. aud
the crimes that result from It have
decreased 10 number. All that the
state now needs Is a few local officials
in the cities Of Nashville and M en-
phis who will respect their oaths OF
office. This will surely come. The
temperance people OF the state are
not discouraged, although ttey realize
the inherent difficulty OF enforcing
the laws In the larger cities.

Riddle Of Gravitation.

Nearly $50 years ago one of the great
est intellects connected with science
turned his attention to gravitation. In
that 25O years physical science has
made rapid advances. A boy who has
completed a years work in elementary
physics could entertain Newton In cleo
tr,city we're 1t possible for the great
philosopher to return to earth. After
learning of the great progress In elec-
tricity I can imagine him in his eager
desire for knowledge turning to the
boy and expecting some light on graVi.
tation. Alas. not only the high schooi
boy, but not even the most learned
can give any definite information on
prayitation. The problem Is about
where Newton left it.-Popular Science
Monthly.

Gov. Burke of North Dakota.

At each session OF our legislative
assembly since statehood, and until
the session of 1909, a resolution to re.
submit the prohibition clause OF the
constitution to the people was intro.
duced. The resolution had fewer
adherents at each session, until finally
they became SO few that no resolution
has been offered since the session Of
1867; SO it would appear that prohibi.
tion has become settled policy In
this state.
Many of lis adherents supported
prohibition for moral reasons, aud,
think, quite as many for business
reasons. The farmer says that II a
rainy day came during the busy sea-
son, when we bad saloons, many of
his hired men would 70 to town, be-
come drunk and be worthless for
several days while they were SOLDERING
up; while under prohibition the EN-
ploye cannot get the liquor. or II he
does it is 10 such limited quantities
that 1t does not interfere with the
farm work-hence the farmer Is a
prohibiti0nist.
The merchant claims that under
prohibition there Is more money In
the legitimate channels OF trade, the
collections are better and the people
generally buy more. They are better
fed. better clothed, better schooled
aud are better citizens-hence the
business man becomes prohibition
ist, and prohibition becomes settled
policy 10 the state.

Personally, l have seen SO much Of

much of its tears and heartache, thai

one that must be held and controlled
by strong and effective laws. l bear
no malice toward those engaged in
the business, but hate the traffic.
I hate It's every phase. I hate 1t for
its utter disregard for law, its ruth
less trampling Of the solemn compacts
of state constitutions: for the load IT
straps to laborer's back, for the
palsied hands it gives to toll, for its
wounds to genius, for the tragedies Of

for the prisons IT fllls, for the insanity

are running every time that they
use them at a public place. Mr..
Wallis believes in individual
outfits for every member Of the

family through common comb
and brush just as easily as they
may be spread elsewhere and he is
consequently against the public
article in its entirety.-St Statesman.

ANOTHER DISEASE CARRIER
Inspector Wallis Condemns
Common Brush and Comb.
As BAD As COMMON CUP
People Are Appealed to In Evad-
ing the Danger.

Declaring war on the public
comb and brush, one of the great
menaces to the health of the peo-
pie, James B. Wallis, deputy dairy
food and sanitary Inspector, has
launched a campaign of edu-
cation which he hopes will be as
successful as others that have been
directed against disease spreading
conditions have been. He says
that without doubt there is no
greater danger to the people Of
this state existing than that of the
public comb and brush. He thinks
that all of the efforts that have
been leveled against the conditions
brought about by the public drink
ing cup should be directed against
the comb and brush which, in his
opinion, spreads diseases Of just as
virulent nature and just as rapid
ly as does the cup.
He says that there have been
many cases coming to the attcn-
ton Of the department where
brushes have transferred typhoid
and other diseases. The patient
just recovering FROM his illness had
used the brush and was followed
BY somebody in apparently good
health but who fell victim to the
same disease after the use Of the
deadly carrier. He says that this
condition prevails more generally
in the hotels of the state and in
public bathing places than. in any
other resorts to which the people
generally go.
People just recovering from
diseases frequent the bathing
places of the state as a sort of an
addition to their course of treat
ment, use the combs and brushes
and transfer their trouble to the
person following them in the next
few minutes. He says that a dis
eased scalp is one of the best
known carriers of disease and that
a brush or comb that has been
used by convalescent person be-
comes as good transmitter Of dis
ease as the famous drinking cup.
Mr.. Wallis says that the laws Of
the state do not give his depart
ment authority to begin legal
fight on the combs and brushes OF
the state but that lie hopes that
the good sense of the people will
come to the rescue and, put them
out of business. All that he can
do, he says, is to educate the
people on the danger that they are
constantly running when they use
these things just as the greatest
factor in the battles against the
cup was the aroused public opin-
ion of the states and nation.
He says that there are many
places in Boise where public opin-
ion would get chance to vent
itself on these public nuisances.
He says that some of the hotels
are responsible for this condition
nd that the bathing places of the
city would either have to remove
them or come in for their share ol
the blame. He thinks that every
man, woman and child in Idaho
should get his own outfit immedi-
ately SO that the campaign may be
begun earlier among the people oi
the state. Mr.. Wallis says that he
intends to carry the fight against
the public toilet articles into every
city and hamlet of the state anc
that he believes that the people
will awake to the necessity of indi
vidu ual outfits just as readily a.
they did to the need of separate
drinking cups. He thinks thay
