They are not all sensible by any means. ESpe-

these. for example.

THE RATE DECISIONS.

Under the caption. 1.-TWO Great
Conclusions" the New York World
sums up the results of the recent SUI
preme court decisions in rate cases as
follows:
1.-The far reaching scope of the re-
cent Minnesota decision was shown
Yesterday when the supreme court of
the United States applied the prin-
ciples therein laid down to railroad
rate cases appealed from various other
states. AS in that instance, its de-
cision now is not altogether one-sided,
but on the main point Of rate regula-
ton it favors the states. In reaching
this judgment several inferior federal
judges are reversed, notably McPher-
son of Iowa, by whose injunction the
Missouri law of 1907 was held up.
I'm the absence of further legisla-
ton by congress. whose power over
intrastate commerce when com
mingled with interstate commerce. is
again declared, every railroad COM
pany feeling itself oppressed by local
legislation is once more practically in
vited to make it's complaint on the
score of confiscation to the federal
courts. BY this ruling the supreme
court opens to itself a vast field of
labor, but it guarantees to the owners
of railroads rights which they are
likely in the long run to consider
fundamental.
"Out of the Juror for rate regula-
ton which developed several years
ago in the west and south and which
created great alarm in some circles,
we have at length reached two judi
cial conclusions of prime Importance
One is that no state may compel rail-
roads to do business on an unremu-
lucrative basis. The other is that the
power of congress over interstate COM
merce is so complete that it may be
exerted at pleasure over commerce
within the state when it is held to be
indistinguishable.
'The Immediate advantage is there
fore on the side Of the states, but the
ultimate triumph rests Enthusiastically
with the basic rights of property and
the sovereignty of the nation"

DUE THE KAISER.

Not one of all the orators who prais-
| ed the German Emperor in celebrating
his quarter century on the imperial
| throne gave him more honor than he
deserved for IS part in keeping the
peace of Europe. The War Lord" of
many a dismal prophecy of carnage, he
has so managed the affairs of the great
country over which he reigns that Ger
many has had no serious conflict any
where in the world and no armed col
lision with any civilized state.
This fact alone is enough to prove
the Kaiser's wisdom IN the vital tests
of craftsmanship. Germany is a. coun-
try with constitutional government
and the powers of the emperor are linn
tied, but it has often been found that
with the sovereign rested the choice
between peace and war. The executive
head of the empire might easily have
brought on more than one terrible con-
fiict, and with excellent prospects of
German victory.
For the kaiser has held In his hands
the mightiest war engine in the world
The German army is conceded to be
the most formidable now on the earth.
In recent years the German navy
has been very strong, though nothing
like the army in its relative position.
When a man has in his possession the
most powerful force ever organized the
temptation to use it is often hard to
resist, under circumstances which pro-
woke anger and resentment. The great
power of Germany has made the peace
record of the Emperor William II, the
mora remarka BILE and prafSeWorthy
Now he declares himself hopeful of
twenty-five years more of peace and
the world believes he means what he
says. It no longer suspects the kaiser
of seeking war.

AS OTHERS SEE US.

The eyes of the east if not of the world
are ever on Kansas. The state has
come to lie recognized as a leader in
thought. in legislation, in productive
ness. Her crops change the prices in

| taken as models by other states. When

f; as follows:
Where are We to get the farm hands?
Where are We to get the money?
Where are We to get the cars? The far
mers. the banks. and the railroads of
Kansas are throwing up their hands in
token of distress now that the I'M
looked-for spell of ripening weather
has precipitated an embarrassment of
riches upon their heads. The chorus
ing of this lay of the wheat belt-'Ev-
erything to do and nothing to do it
with"-is a matter of annual occur
renee, but this year the familiar key
note of harvest time has greater car
rying power than last year or for sew
eral years.
The near east and the far east have
been waiting for the word, with ear
to the ground. The fullness of cadence
excites no feeling of alarm, however
The louder the wall the greater it's po-
tency for gladness. The world is wise
to the true significance of the cry
from Kansas. Experience tells that,
somehow or other Kansas will assem-
BILE the willing hands, tie necessary
cash, and the Indispensable cars. The
east is sending out funds in small
packages, which will return. bringing
with them train loads of commodities
of a more dependable value than the
certified evidences of wealth that are
being liquidated at prices far below
their face value.

FROM OTHER PENS
RUMoRs FROM MEXICO.

RUMORS FROM MEXICO.
Ihe various juntas are exceptionally
busy now in the manufacture of Mexican
news. Confirmation is lacking of the re-
ported fall of Zacatecas and of various
rebel victories elsewhere. As a matter of
TACT the rebels in the north are engaged
in guerrilla warfare, living on the coun-
try, lacking military organization gain
ing few real victories, and unable to fol-
low up those they gain. They can tear up
railroad tracks and burn bridges and they
have placed such an embargo on trade IN
the republic that some years of hard la
Dor will be required when peace is re-
stored to put affairs sound footing.
But there is no other Mexican in power
today with the personal force and ex-
ecution of Gen. Huerta, and, as he now
has money and credit, he should be able
to place more troops in the field, north
and south of the federal district, to sup
press the various rebellions.
The fact that he now has this advant-
age accounts for the increase in tho
rumors of rebel activity. The only hope
for Mexico at present lies in Huerta All
American residents know this. All Ameri-
cans who have business investments in
Mexico are hoping that he will succeed;
If he fails the state of unrest which has
lasted now for nearly three years will be
prolonged indefinitely-New York Times.
