RIPLEY'S VIEW OF DECISION
Long Step Toward Government Owner
ship of Railroads.

Chicago, June 12.-E. p. Ripley,
president of the Santa Fe, speaking
of the decision of the United States
supreme court in the Minnesota rate
case, said:
1T is surely long step toward gov.
ernment ownership. 1t takes all the
power out of the hands of the rail-
roads and no one can tell at the present
Just what the result will be. I believe
most emphatically that congress
should further limit the ratemaking
power of the states by increasing the
federal power Of control.
While l favor placing this increased
federal power in the hands of the in
terstate commerce commission / am
opposed to the commissions being
centered at Washington"

POST FOR DR.. VAN DYKE
Poet-CIergyman May Be United States
Minister to The Netherlands.

Washington, June l2.-Rev. DR.
Henry Van Dyke, who is professor of
English literature at Princeton univer.
sity, will be the new American minis
ter to The Netherlands at The Hague,
as President Wilson has offered the
post to him and it is believed that h.
will accept. 1t is understood that the
Dutch government is pleased with the
selection of DR.. Van Dyke.
The announcement disposes of the
rumor that Charles w. McAlpin. sec.
retary at Princeton university, has
been chosen, but there is a feeling
here that President Wilson has such a
strong admiration for Mr.. McAlpin
that he will find another diplomatic
berth for him.

RATE FIGHT MAY
NOT Be ENDED
Possibility That Roads Will
Ask for Rehearirg.
MORE CASES ARE PENDING

Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul and
the Chicago and Northwestern Have
Right to Proceed With Litigation
Now Before Circuit Court.
st. Paul, June 12-The possibility OF
an application for a rehearing by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
roads and the possibility that the st.
Paul road and the Northwestern line
may ask for a trial OF their rate cases,
which are pending in the circuit court,
still remain before the victory of the
state in the railroad cases is CON-
plete.
T. ID. O'Brien, counsel for the state
in the cases, said that while technical
ly the roads could delay the dismissal
of the injunction suits the decision of
the supreme court was so plain he did
not see what the roads would gain by
fighting the cases further.
IS far as the 500 Line is concerned
there was a stipulation between its
attorneys and attorneys for the state
that it would abide by the decision in
the Northern Pacific case, so this line
iii put in the rates unless the
Northern Pacific gets a rehearing. A.
II. Bright, general counsel for the
road, said he thought this stipulation
settled the matter as far as the 500
Line is concerned. Furthermore, the
500 Line meets the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific in so many com
peting points that it could not success
fully maintain higher rates than those
two roads.
Against Commodity Rates.
Railroad men generally said the op-
position was not so much to the 2-cent
fare as to the commodity rates. A 2
cent fare will mean an increase OF
business which may actually increase
revenues. or at least make the net loss
Insignificant. A cut in freight rates
on the other hand, brings very little
If any new business and makes a big
cut in revenues.
The action of the ST. Paul and
Northwestern lines, of course, will
govern the action of the weaker roads.
The Minneapolis and st. Louis road is,
by the courts decision, permitted TO
charge higher rates, but competition
will compel it to make low rates to
get business. The Chicago Great
Western, the states attorneys admit,
might make as good a case as the st.
Louis road, but competition will gov
ern this roads action also. The Rock
Island is not classed as a weak road,
although its Minnesota business is not
large. This road also has SO many
competing points that 1t will have to
be governed by what the other roads
do. The Burlington and other roads
named in the suits have comparatively
little mileage in the state.
What the roads will do will not be
known until the decision of the su.
preme court is transmitted to the cir
cult court in st. Paul for dismissal,
which may take ten days, after which
the roads affected have thirty days In
which to ask for a rehearing.

AT Camp Perry.

From a letter from Cape. Erie Scales
who, with Wm. Dent, is at Camp Perry,
Ohio, the following interesting facts
about the camp and Mississippi's part
in the rifle shooting there are gathered:
There are nineteen Mississippians on
the rifle teams. In 1911 our state stood
9Th in class c and 34th in the United
States. This year it is hoped our boys
will get into Glass B. but they are at a
great disadvantage in shooting against
teams from states that spend Agreat
deal OF money on the nationaf hard
and SUPP ly any quantity of ammunition
Tor life practice. There are at Camp
Perry now forty-nine teams from this
county and ten from foreign counties.

FIRST QUALIFICATION FOR
SUCCESSFUL CAREER.

OF course everyone has a desire
to succeed in life, says an ex-
change. But every one does not
have the same idea about what
constitutes success. Ii q man
manages to make money the aver
age person considers him success,
full, and if he has started out in
life with the sole idea of getting
money and does it, he has in a Ger
tain sense been successful. Sue
cess is to accomplish what one sets
out to do. However, the man
who succeeds IN doing what he at
tcmpts is not always one who has
lived a really successful life in the
highest sense. He who has been
of the most benefit to humanity is
the one to whom success should be
credited in the greatest degree.
The first essential in a successful
career is indicated in the following
conversation, and when you make
a real man, there will be little
trouble with the outcome then:
"What do you intend to make
of your boys when they grow up?o
inquired one mother of another,
the second being the mother of
three little fellows on whose prop.
err training she was spending much
time and effort.
"Iour qucstson,' she replied,
"remindS me of a story that used
to be told years ago about Presi-
dent James a. Garfield, and the
answer to your question lies in the
same story. When he was a little
fellow a man who knew him asked
him what he intended to make of
himself when he grew up. The
answer that the future president
made was an omen of his Steadfast
life. He said, 81 shall make a
man of myself, first of all. If | do
not succeed in that | can succeed
in nothing
There, continued the mother,
sis the answer to your question of
what intend to make of my boys.
If can make real men of them |
shall not have to worry about
what they will make of themselves:
they will take care of that. | can
only lnStill into their minds the
underlying principles and depend
on them for the rest. But after
all, it is like everything else. If
the foundation be solid, the super
structure is hcnnA To BIC s~l,al
