Prof. Tate, superintendent of rural
school work in South Carolina, is ad-
vocating quite an improvement in the
present method of awarding certificates
to teach in the public schools of the
state. He seems to be possessed Of the
idea that many Of the county boards
of education are too weak to properly
enforce the law and that they give out
first and second grade certificates a
little too promiscuously to persons who
are really not entitled to them. His
idea is to continue the present system
of examining applicants at the various
county seats, under the supervision Of
the county boards and on a basis of
Questions prepared by the state board;
but he wants TO relieve county boards
of the duty and responsibility of eX-
amining papers and awarding certfi-
Gates. Instead of leaving discretion
with the county boards Prof. Tate
would have all papers sent to the state
board.

ly, hut from what had come in and
the big pile of checks still in sight, he
thought he had an aggregate of be-
tween $145,000 and $150,000 collected.
He was of opinion also that tax collec-
tions had been about as close as usual.
The total amount charged against
York county by the state treasurer is
52,402.42, and Of this amount Treasu-
rer Neil has already sent forward to
Treasurer Jennings, $40,453.54. The
probability Is that the remaining &c.,
900 will be available when the checks
and orders now on hand have been
worked up.
An unusually large number of the
heaviest taxpayers came in. in time to
escape the 1 per cent penalty, and
most of the receipts still to be torn from
the books are those Of smaller taxpay-
ers, which means that there Is still a
large amount Of work to be done in the
Office of the treasurer before the total
book is fully accounted for.

Governor Blease wrote Commission
er Watson recently to this effect: my
understanding is that you are COM
missioner Of South Carolina anu not
of the United States and If you leave
the state again without my permission
will declare the office vacant and
put somebody on the job who will hold
it down" Watson replied that he was
not aware of the governors objection
to his leaving the state, and promised
to be good in future. Watsons term
expires in the spring; but there seems
to be no reasonable probability that he
will be his own successor.

While passing through Columbia
the other day. the editor of The En-
quirer gathered that the people who
undertook legal steps against the race
track aroused the opposition Of the
hotels, restaurants, etc. The idea is
that the racers are people who have
to eat and the Importance Of selling
people things to eat is greater than
the moral issue involved in gambling
at the race track. But nothing could
be more natural. Is not Columbia the
town Of square meals?

The rural resident and he who lives

The officers of the city Of Grand

inhabitants or residents of the annexed
tract: to such residents the officers of
the city of Grand Forks are merely
individuals: they are not even fellow
citizens of the same political sub-divis-
ion: such officers are merely persons
living in an adjoining political sub
division. Yet the statute in question
attempts to delegate to the individuals

Forks. h power to organize, fix and
establish the form and character of
the government of the Inhabitants Of
the annexed tracts: such statute vio-
iates the plainest and most fundamen.
tai rights of local self-government.
If the legislature has the power to
delegate this authority to the officers
of the city of Grand Forks, with re-
spcct to the territory adjoining such
city. then the legislature has the power
to delegate such authority to the off,

Moreover, in its necessary converse

hardly be expected TO b" acquiesced

court OF last resort.
Tho ruling, in brief, is ,hat when
a given ton-mNe basis has been es-
tablished on interstate rates the rates
on intra-state traffic must not be put
on higher ton-mile basis. To subject

tons the longer haul should take 4
rate per mile decreasing slightly as
the distance increases. This has BEEN
the general railroad practice. In fire.
quent cases the extremely lower rates
for the longer haul have been the
subject Of strong complaints.
This is the point in which the o
verse Of the proposition affirmed BY
the ruling will have its widest and
most far-reaching effect. Plainly. il
1t Is discrimination 10 give intra-state
commerce a rate base slightly below
thai Of Interstate it is much more of
a discrimination TO give the inter
state traffic a rate base as small as
one.third 10 one-ffth OF the intra-
state. Yet such remarkable differ
ences have been prosecuted and main
tanned. Indeed. in some OF them the
commissions ruling has hardly
shown a fun conception OF the fac,
that the principle in his casa mus,
work both ways.
We agree with the doctrine tina:
rates within the states and rates be-
tween the states must justly be CAL
culated with reference to each other.
kut the constitutional division be-
tween the states is too great TO make
the practical application OF the prin-
cirle in securing harmony between
state and national regulators extreme
j. difficult. Moreover. as courts fail
ed to recognize that low Interstate
rates entitle the traffic within the
states TO proportional moderation a
ruling by he supreme court Will BE-
requisite before the subject can be re-
Rarded al settled.
