Justice Hughes.

Justice Hughes sustained his now IA
nous opinion in the Minnesota rate case
yesterday when he handed down a
score or more of decisions affecting ac-
ton of rate-makers in Oregon, Mis-
souri,, West Virginia, and elsewhere,
holding that rates were not conhscatory,
save in the case of three or four small
lines-St Louis and Hannibal, Kansas
City, Clinton and Springfield, and Chi
cago Great Western, where the rates
were adjudged conhscatory.
In the case of these latter roads the
railroad commissioners of Missouri are
given permission to apply to court for
stay of advancing rates whenever it
shall appear that they are sufficient to
yield reasonable compensation.
In the other cases it was held that
the railroads had not furnished any evil
dence to show that the rates. were not
compromising.
In the Oregon case, the Southern Pa
cifc and Union Pacific claimed that the
rates imposed conhicted with inter
state commerce. Both cases were de-
cided against the railroads. AS in the
Minnesota case the lower courts are
completely reversed, save in the three
cases cited and in the claim of the
Union Pacific, the lower court making
the ruling that has just been confirmed
by the Supreme Court.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
Company questioned the 2-cent-a-mile
rate ordered by the State of West Vir-
ginia, but found no comfort in Justice
Hughes opinion.
By these decisions, the rights of the
States are made paramount, fixed and
unalterable save by the will of Con-
gress. AS the 4oo-odd Representatives
and ninety Senators represent the States,
it is not at all likely that Congress will
undertake to abridge the rights of the
States.
Members of the legal fraternity who
were present in court Monday a week
ago and yesterday marvel at the
amount of work Mr.. Justice Hughes
has put upon these cases, the thorough
ness of his conclusions, and the fact
that he was supported by a united
court is a striking testimonial, especial
ly where lower courts were very gen.
orally reversed
The Supreme Court adjourned until
fall yesterday afternoon, and Justice
Hughes in common with the rest of
the bench will enjoy a well-earned rest
after a most busy and important winter
and spring session.

The Revolver.
Why a revolver ?

Why a revolver!
This question again comes to the
front through the sad but fearfully
careless action OF Washington wom-
an on Sunday when she playfully point
ed a revolver at a young man. He is
dead. She didn't know it was loaded.
That's the whole story.
This act was not done by a child,
but by an adult in the full possession
OF her senses-a woman who now is suf-
fering the torments of the damned be-
cause OF her thoughtlessness. But the
young man, the friend, is dead.
There is but one remedy.
Just such acts as the above have be-
come common since the introduction of
the revolver. Children have shot each
other. Even babes have been guilty
Grief and woe have invaded the homes
OF all connected with such sad occur
rences. Merchants have been restrict
ed in the sale of these death-dealing
weapons. Laws have been passed pro-
hibiting their sale except under GER
tain restrictions. All are failures.
The gunner" OF New York have al
ways found it easy to get all the re-
volvers they wanted. Any desperate
or good citizen can do the same. Laws
and city ordinances are of no avail.
The one remedy is for the United
States to prohibit their manufacture or
at least take entire control of their
sale, but just why any should be sold
The Herald cannot see except to those
who are engaged in enforcing the law.
Their sale should be absolutely pro-
hibited and the thoughtless and foolish
be protected against themselves.

TUESDAY, JUNE II, 1913.
Tariff COLLINS.

In these latter days when the sprites
and COLLINS of industry are lowering
about Capitol Hill, it must be crafty
ing to the Democratic Senators to feel
that the executive power of the govern
ment has assumed the duty of pro-
tecting them from the influences of the
neither world. We have come to an
age when to disagree with the party in
control is TO put one in the class of
crooks; when to exercise ones consti-
tutional right to petition is construed as
an act against the public good.
The Senate, doubtful of its own free
dom from the elfsh evils lurking in its
halls and corridors, is now investigat-
ing itself and those legislators who
own property that may be effected by
tariff changes are mentally put down
as worth watching. The country is
being given the news about the So
called lobbyists, not merely TO inform
the nation, but to maintain party reg
ularity.
A Senator is no longer supposed TO
vote according to the direction of his
reason, but according TO the vote of
the party caucus and it is anathema
to refuse to follow your leader. Be
ware, Mr.. Senator! If you vote wrong,
the sentiment aroused by the investi-
CATION will impugn your motive. The
forces of darkness are working against
you and the lobbyist will git you if
you don't watch out"

An unidentified white man, about
forty-hve years old, i've feet ten
inches tall, was found unconscious at
Ninth and D Streets Northwest yester-
day afternoon. He died several hours
later at Emergency Hospital

for Harry Mainhart." The coat bore
the label of L. H. Laurisden, tailor. of

The Logical Point.

When all the evidence and arguments
are iii, the delegates to the convention
OF the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen probably will
find that Washington is the best place
for the permanent headquarters of
their order. 1t is not an exaggeration
to say that, to all practical :ntents and
purposes, this city is as easily accessi-
bic to the country at large as any
other city whose size and Importance
are in keeping with the dignity of a
great fraternity of labor.
But Washington has other advan-
tages far more valuable to the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen than Washington's accessible
Try. As the Capital of the United
States, it holds functions of govern
ment with which labor, especially Ia
Dor employed by the railroads, is COM
ing into ever closer touch. The ex-
ecutive. branch of the government, with
its department and commissions devot-
ed to labor; the Congress, before which
there is always pending legislation of
vast import to labor; the judiciary,
whose construction of legislation is not
less important-all these have their
headquarters here. The Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men would do well to be at the heart
of things, to know at first hand af-
fairs in which they have so vital an
interest.
With such a thought, It is hardly
necessary to combine the advantages

VICTORY
FOR FORMER TEACHER
Mary E. Male Wins Over School
Board in Appeal to the
Supreme Court
PRECEDENT IS ESTABLISHED

A victory won by Mary E. Male, for
merly a teacher in the District public
schools, over the Board of Education, in
a decision handed down by the United
States Supreme Court yesterday, has
stirred numerous other former teachers
who declare that they were ousted from
the positions without a fair trial.
1t was stated last night these teach
ers, who have been awaiting the issue
in the legislation instituted by Mrs
Male, will seek, IL Mrs. Male wins an
victory. pay for all the time
during which they have been out Of
their positions through what they al
lege was an improper act of the board.
Among these teachers are Anna J.
Cooper, John l. Love. ]. B. Clark, and
Joseph r. King, who lost their posi-
tons in the public schools in 1906;
Father Joseph. who lost his position
in 1908, and W. Bruce Evans and Joseph
II. B. Evans, who lost their places in
1872
Mrs. Males victory yesterday. how
ever, Is generally regarded as technical
only, SO far as an ultimate decision on
the merits of her case are concerned.
The United States Supreme Court re-
versed the District Supreme Court and
the District Court of Appeals in their
judgment in the proceedings brought by
the former teacher to compel the Board
Of Education to reinstate her.
Lower Courts Erred.
The decision OF the highest tribunal.
while IL does not reinstate the plaintiff.
holds that the courts below erred in
sustaining a demurrer to the first count
OF Mrs. Males declaration against the
board.
The case is reversed without prejudice
to the Board OF Education. and any an
swer it may care TO make in lieu of its
former demurrer.
Mary f. Male brought suit against
the board several years ago. charging
that the board had maliciously libeled
her and unjustiy dismissed her from the
schools without opportunity for trial.
Her declaration consisted of two counts:
First, that the board had conspired
without probable cause TO remove her
from her position and to maliciously in
jure her reputation. and that it had filed
false statements in District Court in an
swer to her answer.
The second count alleged that she had
been a teacher for thirty years; that
she had been dismissed without a hear
ing; that the board sought TO prevent
her from obtaining redress, and that II
had endeavored to make the public be-
lieve its charges regarding her ability
as a teacher as well as her character.
The District Supreme Court upheld
demurrer of the board to the first count
when the woman complained. The board
made plea in answer to the second count,
and when the school-teacher demurred
to this plea she was overruled.
The defendants named by Mrs. Male
are members of the Board OF Education
as composed when she was displaced.
