To Protect State Rights.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The right
of a sovereign state to regulate busi.
ness, including railroads within its
borders, was the burden of q brief
which Governors Harmon of Ohio,
Hadley of Missouri, and Aldrich of
Nebraska, we're permitted to file in the
supreme court today as friends of the
court.
The plea of the governors, all Of
whom have been active in railroad
legislation and litigation, was in the
appeal from United States Circuit
Judge Sanborn's decision in the Min
nesots railroad rate case involving
the right of a state to regulate COM
merce within its borders.
The three governors were empowered
to act as q committee on state rights
at the conference of governors at
Spring Lake, New York, last Septem-
| Der, and were then authorized to in
tervene in the Minnesota rate crse.

Not a Popgun War.

The late General Gordon of the con-
federate army was a young man when
the civil war began. He organized a
company in Kentucky and came down
with his men by easy stages through
Virginia. Everywhere he grew more
enthusiastic in his denunciation of the
Yankees. Finally, at Petersburg, Va,
he made a brilliant speech and declar-
ed amid tremendous enthusiasm:
"Why, fellow citizens, we can lick
the Yankees with popguns."
Years afterward, when the country
was at peace and General Gordon had
settled in Virginia, he was running for
congress.
He arrived at Petersburg to make a
speech, and while in the middle of it a
grizzled confederate veteran rose.
"Say, general, vast you here at the
beginning of the wah?" he said.
81 was," said Gordon.
"Didn't you-all say we could lick the
Yankees with popguns?"
81 did," replied Gordon.

RoosevELT's "RADlcALIsM.'

Colonel Roosevelt's speech at Car
negie hall is destined to be widely
read and re-read In the course OF the
next few months. He has made many
interesting and several stirring
speeches. but few of them have de-
served study. This speech deserves
close study. 1t sounds as 1t 1t had
been more deeply considered than
most OF the things he says or writes,
and certainly it is more solid In
structure and more exact In langu.
age.
Is Colonel Roosevelt Q radical?
The men who call him q radical, and
who hope the word will kill him, are
fond of drawing pictures of this coun.
try, which they represent as q place
where the people rule, where there is
no alliance between wealth and the
political machine, where laws are
neither enacted or prevented by means
of this corrupt alliance, where nomi.
nations are not dictated by small
groups Of men.
II such a picture Is an exact like
ness, Colonel Roosevelt ia not q radi.
cal, since what he is fighting for Is to
make the United States q country
where the people do rule in fact as
we'll in theory. But If the picture. far
from being q likeness, is q rather gro.
tesque lie; if minority alliances be.
tween wealth and professional poll
ticians do rule, except In times Of
extreme excitement, then Colonel
Roosevelt is q radical indeed, for the
side he Is now fighting on aims not to
keep a genuine popular rule q thing
which is possible only whenever the
people are sufficiently excited, but to
make 1t the familiar habit of our po-
litical life.-New York Globe.

The Largest Range Steer.

A news item from Chicago says that
upon the arrival at the union stock
yards last week of the largest range
fattened steer ever received there, an.
other of the many laurels long worn
by King Corn, without q successful
rival, has been snatched away by the
humble sugar beet. Recently 10 in.
vestigation conducted in Iowa showed
that the net profit to the farmer from
the growing of beets was far In EXCESS
OF the yield secured from the same
land in corn. Now it appears that
the tops and pulp of the tubers are
far superior to the great western sta
pie as a food for livestock, for the
giant steer that tipped the stocky ards
scales at a higher figure than any
previously recorded there for an ami
NAL coming direct from the range was
fattened on the b~y-products of sugar
beets.
His weight was over $500 pounds
and he came from Montana, from the
near vicinity Of one Of the beet sugar
factories recently established In that
state. The tops of the beets and the
pulp after the sugar had been extract

POLITICAL LOVEFEASTS.

In the matter of vigorous defense of
what they consider to be their rights,
members OF the republican party in
some of the southern states have their
northern political brethren beaten to
q fragile. Steam roller tactics meet
with the most strenuous resistance.
An illustra alton of what sometimes
happens in this connection appears in
q dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
from Jackson, Miss, which tells this
story of the republican state conven-
ton in that city:
Mississippi's q~uadrennisl reunion
of the government job holders was
held here today. This assembly
named 16 who live by federal aid as
delegates to the Chicago national con-
vention.
At the same time and in the same
hall another state republican conven-
ton was held. 1t selected 20 delegates
for Roosevelt. The chairman of this
crowd was driven from the platform
with a revolver pressing his breast.
The weapon was in the hands of a
postmaster, and n Of his friends re-
peatedly urged him to shoot.
The chairman took up his position
10 front of the platform and for more
than two hours bedlam reigned. From
three to ten big negroes with fog horn
voices cried and yelled continuously
for more than two hours.
Whenever the Taft convention at
tempted to do anything the Roosevelt
convention did the same thing more
boisterously. The entire police force
was called, in addition to several dep
uty sheriffs and United States deputy
marshals present.
On three separate occasions the Taft
| convention threatened to have their
riv ais elected bodily. The Roosevelt,
delegates finished their work first and
concluded with singing, "Well Meet
You in the Sweet Bye and Bye"
Local residents said the affair was
tame. They cited the last state repub'
lican convention four years ago, when
several shots we're fired and several
blacks so frightened that they left the
town for a while. AT that all except
the fedora Office holders were barred
from the hall.

The Family Vegetable Garden.

REGULATE EXPRESS RATES,
Bill Proposes increased Powers To
Interstate Commission.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Tbe house
interstate and foreign commerce CON-
mittee reported favorably today q bill
to amend the law giving the interstate
commerce commission authority over
express companies.
Provision would be made for rate
zones, the charges varying according
to the distance that the package was
carried from the point of origin.
A close working arrangement also
would be provided between the express
companies and the rural free delivery
system of the p%ostofice department.
The bill would govern the t~ranspor.
tation Of packages not exceeding II
pounds Ia weight and with q valu alton
of $50 or less. No allowance would
be made for the expense of transfer
from one express company to another.
The rates would be fixed as follows:
Between any two points 10 the United
States more than 1000 miles apart IL
cents per pound; not more than 1000
miles apart 10 cents: not more than
1900 miles apart I cents: not more
than 800 miles apart 5 cents, not more
than 900 miles apart 4 cents, and be-
tween points not more than $50 miles
apart 2 cents per pound. 1t ia pro.
vided, however, that no express COM
pany shall be compelled to accept for
transportation any packages at q
charge of less than 10 cents.
Failure of any express company to
carry out the provisions of law would
be punished by q fine in each Ease Of
500 and attorneys fees, together with
such damage as the person aggrieved
might collect in court.

GLACIER PARK PLAYGROUND.

When the bill creating Glacier park
was drawn up and introduced by the
late Senator Carter, 1t was declared
that the object was to create a play
ground for the people of America. 1t
is not all probable that Senator Carter
had 10 mind such a conception Of q

for pay. No competition for your
Uncle Samuel. If some one else
should wish to establish o line of
stages and take over passengers for q
quarter he couldn't do it. The price
is fixed at a half, and while the stage
mar cannot charge more, no one else
will be allowed to charge less. If you
don't wish to pay the half you can
walk, unless q later regulation pre-
scribes a fee for walking also. Not
that the half dollar is too much under
present circumstances, or that any one
objects to it, for it is the price that
has prevailed there since the road was
cut out through the woods, but the
principle back of it all rather grinds.

who were operating boats on the lake
made application to be allowed to
continue operating. They were
