II a Railway Makes a Low Rate Upon
Traffic Within a state, It Must Ao.

Washington. March 24.--The inter-

opinion made public today established
the reaching principle that n rail-
road must So adjust Its rates that JUS
tice shall be done between communi-
ties regardless of state lines.
II railroad makes Il low rate upon
traffic wholly within state, even
when forced to do so by a state COM
mission, Ii must accord the same rate
to interstate traffic moving under
substantially similar conditions. The
principle was laid down by vote of
four to three. The minority held that
the powers of congress were usurped
by the majority opinion and that the
remedy for such n situation should be
applied through additional legislation
The case virtually precipitated u
conflict between federal and state au-
thorities over the control of interstate
traffic. The opinion of the majority
as delivered by Commissioner Lane Is

The information that the republican state
committee at Helena yesterday had delib-
erately refused to allow the republicans OF
Montana who will have the voting power in
November, the opportunity to express their
choice by means Of primary as to their
preference in regard to the republican can
didate for president, occasions no surprise
1t had been given out in New York on Fri
day exactly what the committee meeting at
Helena would do the next day, no person
in Montana is in any way mised as to the
controlling forces behind the Helena meet
ing. | had been aware for several days
that the agents Of the Amalgamated Copper
company had been actively engaged
throughout the state in making the neces-
sary arrangements to bring about the de-
sired results at the meeting. From every
state where primaries are being forced
comes the story Of violent opposition from
political and corporate bosses and caucus
and convention manipulators. Every in
dustry in the United States that seeks spe-
cial favors at the hands of the executive and
from legislative bodies, both state and ma
tonal, is viciously determined to prevent
Roosevelt's nomination. He is the one man
in the list of presidential candidates who has
any show of nomination, that they fear and
hate. The republican voters are over
whelmingly for him. The situation in Mon
tana is exactly the same as in every other
northern and western state. Every demo-
cratic daily paper in Montana and every
republican paper that is controlled by the
Amagamated Copper company is moving
heaven and earth, both. in its news and its
editorial columns, to maliciousy misrepre-
sent Roosevelt, and has joined in COM
mon cause to defeat the will of the repub-
lican voters.
No sane man who knows the feeling of
the republicans of Montana had any doubt
that with a full free expression Of the
voters, Roosevelt would be the overwhelm-
ing choice. Every man knows that either
Taft or Roosevelt will be the republican
nominee for president. Every man ac-
quainted with political conditions through
out the nation knows that there is life and
death struggle now going on to determine
whether or not the republican party shall
continue to follow the inspirations and ira
ditions of its glorious history from Lincoln
to Roosevelt, or whether it shall become
Bourbonized and made the agent of the spe-
cial interests and the money power OF Wall
street. Theodore Roosevelt represents the
hope and inspiration of the masses of the
party
That is the one issue now confronting
Montana republicans as it confronts the
republican party in every other state in the
i Union. Forewarned is forearmed. The

action of the state committee at Helena yes
terday has challenged the attention of the
rank and file of the republican party in
Montana to the true character of the situa-
ton that confronts them. The action OF a
handful of hand-picked men at the state
committee meeting, temporarily in control
Of the state machine will be resented by the
mass of the republican voters OF the state.
The battle will be waged until the people
Of Montana shall have thrown off forever
the present control Of the political machines
Of both parties in Montana.
The action at Helena yesterday gives
notice to every republican in every precinct
in the state, Of the deliberate and premedi-
tated efforts that will be made by the agents
of the Amalgamated Copper company TO
prevent the republican state convention
from sending an instructed Roosevelt dele
cation TO Chicago.
There can be no doubt as to the final OUT
come in the state or nation. Aside from
the fundamental moral aspect OF the situa-
ton and the larger national policies in
volved, the republicans in the different
counties who now hope or expect to be can
didates on the county and state tickets GER
tainly want, as our nominee for president,
man whose nomination will bring victory
not only to the national but to the state and
county tickets in November
In the North Dakota primaries last week,
Mr.. Taft received less than three votes out
of every hundred cast by the republican
voters of that state in the presidential pref
erence primary.
Surely this should make every republican
in Montana who is anxious for the con-
tinued success of the republican party in
state and nation, stop, look and listen. :
Every northern and western state where
primaries have so far been held, as in Okla
homa, Missouri, Indiana and North Dakota,
the delegates elected have either been IN
structed for Roosevelt or have, as in North
Dakota, agreed to vote for Roosevelt on the
second ballot
The issue in Montana is clearly defined.
Shall the special interests which know no
party allegiance, acting in our own state
through the Amalgamated Copper company
and its allies, control the republican as well
as the democratic party, or shall the repub-
lican party be controlled by the people
themselves? There can be no compromise
in the situation which confronts u.s. 1t is
a struggle between two diametrically op.
posed and conflicting ideals and interests
There is and can be no middle ground. The
action of the majority Of the state commit
tee at Helena has forced the issue. Let
him that hath no stomach for the
fight depart"

MOVEMENT ARRIVES FRIDAY

Harry N. Holmes, visiting represent
alive for the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, will arrive in Homo
lulu on the Korea tomorrow morn
ing and begin at once setting up the

will be smaller ones during the week
of his stay until he leaves for the
Orient on the .Shfnyo Maru Oct 25..
Mr.. Holmes is a young man Of
about 35 and has had very successful
experience in different forms of re-
ligious work for men. The fact that
he has been chosen as the advance
agent for such an important move
ment as the Smith-RobinS worldwide
tour is sufficient guarantee that he is
a man of ability and leadership. Mr..
Holmes has been doing special work
among the students of the state of

will speak at large meeting in the
Davies Memorial Chapel.
1t should be remembered that this
campaign is largely a laymen's move
ment. 1t is the awakening of interest
in work at home corresponding to the
interest in foreign work expressed in
the laymen's missionary movement.

Writes from Washington Of
Matters Interesting to
Hawai-

We'll, it's all over, and it certainly

September %, from Washington, D..

International Congress of Hygiene
and Demography.
DR.. Pratt, president Of the Terri
torial Board of Health, shows, in his
communication, that Hawaii's part in
the gathering of hygienic experts from
all parts Of the world has been an &C
tive one, the exhibits of leprous le-
sions and experiments in that line Of
medical work attracting the attention
of all, while at the same time he and
his associate representatives from
this Territory, DR.. George w. Mccoy
and Dr. Hubert Wood, of Waialua.
have gained some highly valuable in
formation that should aid them mate
rally in solving health problems at

The Congress closed September %,
to his old home at Bedford, Penn,
where he will continue his visit some
time, reaching San Francisco in time
to catch the Honolulan, which sails
for Honolulu October 30. DR.. Pratt
went to New York, where he investi-
gated some health matters, thence to
Othaca, to visit his son a few days.
His plan is to start westward stop

InfantiIe Paralysis Discussed.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the Congress, DR.. Pratt
writes, was the discussion of infan-
tile paralysis, following the reading
OF papers on the subject by such men
as DR.. Meter of Paris, Or. Francis
Harbitt of Norway, Dr. Simon Flex-
nor of the Rockefeller Institute of Me-
dieal Research and Prof. Alfred Pet
tersson, of Stockholm. Sweden.
IN the discussion following" says
DIR. Pratt, "a very important state
ment was made by DR.. Rosenau, of
Harvard University, that in laboratory
experiments conducted by himself he
had succeeded in developing or trans
hitting the disease in. monkey by
means of flies. The flies having been
placed in cage with monkey which
had previously been given the dis
ease, were transferred to another
cage containing a healthy monkey,
and the healthy one developed infan-
tile paralysis. He had succeeded IN
this test in six instances.
