nothing to do but go and find out.
"This is the place." said the boy, and
went his way, whistling. Elnora was
three blocks from the high school
building On the same street. She was
before a quaint old house, fresh with
paint and covered with vines.
Inside she could see bare polished
floors, walls freshly papered in low
toned harmonious %colors, straw rugs
and madras curtains. It seemed to be
a ~restful, homelike place to which she
had come, and a second later down an
open stairway came a tall, dark eyed
woman with cheeks family pink and a
crown of fluffy snow white hair.
Elnora stepped inside the door.
"Mother" she cried. You my mother!
I don't believe it! You are perfectly
beautiful, and this house is a little

it? We can't afford it"

4 BRIEF Is FILED
 ON STATE RIGHTS
Three Governors Question
 SanbOrn's Decision
REGULATION OF RATES
Claim Sanborn's Decision in Minne- sota Rate. Case Removes Power of State to Regulate Rates.
 Harmon Drafts Brief

Washington. April 1.-The right of a sovereign state to regulate business. in- cluding railroads, within its borders, was the burden of a brief which Governors Harmon of Ohio, Hadley of Missouri and Aldrich Of Nebraska were 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 Walter San borns decision In the Minnesota railroad rate case. involving the right of state to regulate commerce within its borders
 Acting as Committee
 The three governors were empowered to act as a committee on state rights at the conference of governors at Spring Lake. N. Y, last September, and were then au- thorized to seek to intervene in the Min nesota rate case.
 The controversy in the courts accord- ing to the brief which was drafted by Governor Harmon. and which was immed- lately filed with the clerk of the court. Involved no conflict between the states and the federal authority, but the more extraordinary question of whether rail- road rights supersede and dominate state rights. The decision of Judge Sanborn, the brief contends, took the power of states to regulate railroads from the states and left the railroads free to charge whatever rates they please in their traf- fio within the states. He took the stand that if a state cannot regulate the rail- roads within their borders then there was no power to regulate them at all.
 Vice of the Decision
 We say that If the principle announced is to be upheld" said the brief, "it will undoubtedly be made to apply by showing a similar fact in virtually every state The vice of the decision lies not in an incor- rect statement of conditions in Minnesota and adjoining states, but in it's plain dis regard of the provisions of the federal constitution which establishes the relation between the nation and the state. The operation of these provisions was not made to depend on geography or convent ence or competition. They cannot apply in one state and not in another. accord ing to circumstances as they may be found by the court. because they are vital principles which constitute the very struc- ture of our dual form of government. Commerce is important. but we do not live for trade alone and cannot afford to let our institutions be sacrificed for the sake of It."
