The Trolley in Interstate Service.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States has annulled an order of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
which directed reduction of 5 cents
in the fare from Omaha, Nebr., to
Council Bluffs, Iowa, on the opposite
side of the Missouri River.
The authority to regulate such cases,
therefore, must be presumed to reside
in one or both of the States between
which the trolley lines run; else there
would be zone where the public serv-
ice corporations would be free to do
as they pleased, subject TO the single
restraint, the fear OF destroying traffic
by putting more on it than it will bear.
The present condition is consistent
with the long-standing rule of the
court. that such essentially local
agencies of traffic as wagon bridges
and ferries should be subject to local
and not Federal regulation, even when
they cross streams forming State
boundaries. But in a recent case the
Supreme Court overruled the New
Jersey Errors AMI Appeals Court when
the latter tribunal had decided that the
Hudson County Freeholders were en-
powered to prescribe rates of fare on
a ferry from Weehawken to New
York. This ferry. however. was op-
Grated as an adjunct to a railroad for
the purpose of carrying the latter's
passengers to New York, the terminal
to which the passengers had paid
transportation.
If the ferry had been merely a con-
Meeting link between the two cities, or
between trolley lines on opposite sides
of the river, the decision most likely |
would have been different. II was diff
ferent. at any rate, in the Omaha
Council Bluffs case; and the only rea-
sonable inference is that the street pas

Coal and Navigation.

1t is self-evident that while Amerl-
can transportation has been marvelously
developed the improvement OF our
navigablc waterways has Jagged. The
benefits OF water transportation, both
because of the low cost and the effect
upon railroad rates, are too well known
to require mention.
The vast cost OF dredging channels
has been the chief deterrent to rem
dering navigable our long, winding and
shallow rivers. Engineering has de-
vised the slack water" method of i'm
provement which consists of a series
OF dams converting a stream into
succession of pools deep enough TO &C
commodatc large boats and barges.
Dredging is reduced to a minimum,
but the process remains expensive.
The TAFT administration encouraged
the idea that the much-needed river
improvements might be brought within
reach if the Federal government were
authorized by Congress to develop and
sell or lease the potential water power
in many navigablc rivers. the proceeds

the United States against a water

$4,000 in compensation for the water
power. OF which i claimed to have

A PLEA FOR RACIAL cO-OPERA.
TON,

ttSNs
There Is much preaching these days
on racial segregation and separation,
all of which is unnecessary and I'M
natural. Instead of the races getting
further and further apart they should
be getting closer and closer together.
In quiet moments when racial friction
Is not under discussion and when some
specific legislation is not being agitat.
ed to keep the races apart, the cooler
heads,-the Christly men Of both
races-should carefully mediate and
pray for way to bring these people
closer together for mutual respect
and mutual cooperation.
Both races are here by divine de-
cree. Both races have points of
strength and innate rights to life,
liberty and the pursuits af happiness.
Each race may be of mutual help to
the other. The stronger may grow
the stronger by helping all weak; the
weak may grow the loftier in an at.
mosphere Of generosity, magnanimity,
created by the strong in its effort to
help the weak. We can and should
come closer together in the common
interests Of the whole society, at the
same time with due regard for the
social disposition of each other. He
who seeks to widen the gulf between
the races is an enemy of both, pro-
longs the struggle, and increases the
difficulty of the problem. We are all
men, that is assured. That we all
have rights that each must respect.
cannot be denied. That we are tn be
here under the same flag, with com.
mon interests and common history.
Tor centuries to come seems to he
tore-ordained. There should be com.
nonsense, grace, patriotism and
Christly spirit enough to make race
friction less and race cooperation an
everyday product, found in all parts
and under all circumstances.
Race friction is an injury to both
