Washington. Dec 1.-The supreme
court in decision handed down to-
day sustained the Illinois "Child La
Dor law" prohibiting the employment
of persons under sixteen.
The court also sustained the inter-
state commerce commission order es-
tablishing compulsory uniform system
Of railroad accounting and in another
decision denied the right of publish
ers to maintain arbitrary sales prices
on copyrighted books.
The court affirmed fine on the
Delaware, Lackawana & Western in
the federal court at Buffalo for viola
tion of the commodities clause" which
stipulates that road shall not hmi-
die commodity which is its own
property and then exact further profit
by selling.
The court also decided that proceeds
from the sale of mine ores is taxable
income" and approved the advalorem
tax leyying system Of Llano county,
Texas.
In anothed decision today Ken
tucky's maximum freight rate law was
practically approved. The supreme
court reaffirmed the states right to
create railway commission with the
power to fixe intrastate rates, accord
ing to the Minnesota rate decision.
The Kentucky rate case was the
last Of the forty-five so-called rail-
road rate cases. before the court, for
ty-four Of which were decided last
Jure against the railroads, beginning
with the famous Minnesota case. JUS
tice Hughes framed the decisions in
the former cases which arose from
Minnesota, Arkansas, Missouri, Ore
gon and West Virginia. In all the
right of state railway commissions to
regulate intrastate rates, although
they incidentally affected interstate
rates, until congress acted otherwise
and was maintained by the court. Au.
thority Of state railway commissions
to regulate their intrastate rates was
squarely raised in the Kentucky case
Of today. The Kentucky federal courts
upheld the states right" doctrine in
the trial below The state railroad
commission of Kentucky was created
under the ~McChord act" state law
passed in 1900 as drawn by Interstate
Commerce Commissioner McChord. It
gave the state commission power to
fix reasonable rates and enforce res
titntion Of overeharges" upon strictly
intrastate traffic.
The test case decided today was
brought by the Louisville & Nashville
railroad, which flatly denied the con.
stitutionality of the McChord act as
an Interference with interstate com
merce and federal rate jurisdiction. On
August 81, 1910, the railroad sued to
enjoin enforcement of an order of the
Kentucky commission reducing rates
on liquor between Louisville. Coving-
ton and Newport KY, and sixteen
Kentucky cities. The rates We're de-
clared to be confiscators. The rail
road also particularly alleged uncou-
stitutional the clause of the McChord
act denying appeal of the railroads
from any order OF the state commits
sion to any other tribunal

FLOOD TIDE
INTEREST In
REVIVAL SUN.


the Christian church yesterday. From
the Bible school at 9:45. with its ss2
centers Of pent up enthusiasm TO the
great evening service at 7:15 there
was an increasing interest like the
rising of a great tide.
The number present at the Bible
school was a surprise to many. DR..
Corbin's great adult class had over
100 present, an increase of nearly 100
per cent. The threatening weather
prevented the attainment Of the COW
eted 500 goal. but it viii undoubtedly
be passed next Sunday, as the classes
are already hard at work.
At the morning service Mr.. Mullins
sang "The Holy City" and the evan
gelist preached on the "Plaee and Pow
er of Jesus in the Worlds History" It
was a mastery effort. With his pc
culiarly persuasive power, he showed
how the life of Jesus had justified the
judgment of the worlds master minds
in proclaiming him the greatest per
scnality in all history. The achieve
ments of Alexander the great when
compared with the chronicle of the
Christ are but as the stars to the sun
When the sun is seen the stars are
forgotten
AT D. m. the evangelist delivered
his sermon lecture on "The Bible-Is It
a True Book?" He and the singer re-
peated the song My Mothers Bible"
In this lecture, which Rev. G. Lyle
Smith considers to be his best, he
traces the Bible back through an un-
broken chain of historic records, to
the very days of the apostles. It is a
convincing argument for the authen-
ticity of the Bible.
At 6 o'clock the people began to
gather for the evening service, and by
o'clock the house was comfortably
filled.
The choruses. assisted by the high
school orchestra, gave a splendid musi-
cal program. The program rendered
was similar to, but better than the one
week ago. The ladies' octette was
especially fine. Miss Rose Murray S
work in trssning the octette speaks for
Itself in the highest terms OF commeD-
dation.
In the sermon which followed the
evangelist told OF his personal expert
ence in becoming a christian. Many
of his relatives were members Of diff
ferent religious denominations. Il
didn't want to offend grandmother by
uniting with mothers church" said the
speaker, "and, OF course, / could not
hurt mothers feelings by going to any
other denomination. So | decided |

that day to this have been trying to

dienee to Him. If you are willing tc
do this come tonight" Several con-
fessions were taken at the morning
service and one in the evening.

have made the confession. The meet
