Here's a Book

The MaSrate or The People" by Mar
tin johnson, for sale by C. N. Caspar
Company, 454 Easter Water street, Mil
waukee, Wis
Martin johnson in The Mssnate or
The People, writes in lucid style Of
the necessity and resultant efficiency
OF the public Ownership OF railways
For many years a railroad man. and so
thoroughly imbued with the differing
phases of ms subject, the author covers
the question ih most satisfactory
manner. The average business man
will find the reading of this book easy
work. for there is a scarcity of statistics,
hut the virile statements of the author
leaves no doubt that there are many
neat rows of figures and detailed cali
cuiations hiding shyly in the back
ground for the editication and enlight-
enInent of the Skeptic.
Since the opening wedge for public
ownership Of railways has been entered
with the proposed change for the Gov
ernment ownership Of telephone and
telegraph services, il seeIns Eardly
necessary or dignitied to indulge in the
sarcastic hyperbole to which this
author has resorted. His, however, Is
the accepted style of the socialtstic
knight errantry who will no DOUBT
eventually accomplish great good In
America.

oecomingly she behaves. Who could
tell that yesterday she was but a cat ?
surely her nature is changed

she let loose a mouse into the room.
No sooner did the bride see this than
she Jumped up from her seat and tried
TO pounce upon the mouse. 'Ah, you

JUSTICE ANDERSON'S DECISION.

Mr.. Justice Anderson, in the Supreme Court of the
District, has dismissed the proceeding which looked to
ousting Commissioner Newman from his office on the
ground that he does not represent compliance with the
residence requirement of the law.
The court holds first that the petitioner Mr. Frz-
ze citizen and taxpayer merely, cannot sustain
such an action This means of course that the court
takes the position which has been urged by Mr.. New
man S lawyers, who from the beginning declared that
only some person having interest in the possession
of the office could sustain such an action Some
person with claim to it that being vitiated by
the appointment of Mr. Newman might get standing
in court but person unable to present the color
of such claim. This view has been taken by long
array of authorities in like cases
Second, Justice Anderson gets to the real meat
and merits when he finds that the President in making
the appointment and the Senate in confirming it
exercised due discretion, and from their decision of
the question of qualification there is no appeal
1t is known that the President before making the
appointment had the question of eligibility investi-
gated by the Department of Justice, and informed
that Mr. Newman was eligible. After that the SEN
ate District Committee exercised in its turn like
diligence in deciding that it in agreement with
the President the question of qualification The
Senate received and considered the committee S
report and it, too in the exercise of due dill
gence held that the appointee qualified and
confirmed him.
On that record, Mr.. Justice Anderson fails to dis
cover any good reason why custer suit should be
entertained
The Times inclines to congratulate itself on this
complete vindcaton of its frequently expressed view
of the law and merits. 1t would be neglect of that
uniform courtesy and consideration which are our
amable won't, to omit word of commiseration for
our esteemed contemporary, the Star whose rumina
tions this have been marked by manifestations
of an intellectual diaporesis painful as the con-
cusons of its legal lucubrations have been inexact

between the Washington Railway and the City ant
Suburban. if one nickel is better than two three
or four nickels among the formerly separate line
that make up tine Washington Railway system; if ont
nickel is better than two or three four among
the formerly separate lines that make up the Capita
Traction sysem-then why wouldn't one nickel b
better than two as between the Washington Ralwa
and the Capital Traction systems?
If it is good thing for both the Washington Rail
way Company and the City and Suburban to maxi
each feeder to the other, even at the expense o
forfeiting the right to collect than nickel
then why would it not be good thing for the grea
Washington Railway system and the great Capita
Traction system to make each feeder to the other:
If it was good thing for the Washington Rail
way system to consolidate number Of sep
previously commanded several fares: if it gooc
thing for the Capital Traction Company to do exactly
the same-then why is it not good thing to carry
that process one step farther and bring these two
systems to complete unity in mutual support and
service?
sion is really proposing to do eminent service to
these two companies. 1t actually proposes to provide
them with the tremendous privilege of consolidating
without charging them single cent for that privilege
In the former consultations the privilege very
expensive, witness the great increases in capital
zation that necessary in order bring about
In this case an order of the Public Utilities Commits
sion is going to do the trick without putting either
company, or any holding concern for them, to the
painful necessity of issuing another dollar of capi-
talizaton.
The railway companies ought to Withdraw their
opposition to the proposed order, give it their hearty
Endorsement, and tender to the Public Utilities Com
mission vote of thanks.
Just step farther. 1t is within very recent
memory that a great holding corporation organ
lied with the avowed object of consolidating the two
great street companies of this town. In doing
that it would forfeit the privilege of collecting two
nckes, and would assume the obligation to give free
transfers. That was, indeed, held out to the public
as the chief benefit the public would get from the
consolidation
street interests to furnish the people with free
transfers in that way, why not in the way the Public
Utilities Commission proposes?
The consolidation could not have been accom-
plished without large increase in capitalization; and
capitalization in the last analysis debt-prom-
ses to pay. But here is a consolidation ready to
hand achieved by the magic merit of simple order
Of the Public Utilities Commission without the cost
Of cent for lawyers fees, promoters profits, orI
increased issuance of promises to pay-that is, capt.
talizaton. Certainly it is opportunity that the
railroad companies cannot afford TO overlook Their
own record as consolidaors, their experience in
making more money out of the single nickel than
they could make out of two three or four nckels,
proves that it is good thing.

JUDGE CLAYbERG
ENDS LECTURES
DEAN EMERITUS OF LAW SCHOOL
GIVES LAST TALK OF SERIES
AT VARSITY.

Judge John B. Clayberg. dean emeri-
tus of the Montana state law school,
finished the series of lectures on min
ing law that he has beer giving to the
law students at the university last
night and will leave at once for his
home in San Francisco.
The lecture series began on April G
and two-hour lectures have been given
daily since then. Requests have been
made for a talk on the Drum-Lum-
mon lode case and this was his subject
last night. A number of attorneys Of
the city attended as we'll as most Of
the law students and several from the
engineering and geology departments
of the university.
Judge Clayberg is very enthusiastic
over the progress made by the law
school. IF the people of Montana
knew the kind of law school we have
here, they would certainly not send
their sons to eastern colleges" he said.
Our school is especially valuable for
the practical work it offers. ! know
of only two other law schools in the
country mat give work IN practice
court, and at these there are so many
students that each one seldom gets
to try more than one case a year.
Here at Montana, however, practice
court work is given from the first year,
cases are tried every week, and when
the student graduates he doesn't feel
lost when he enters a court room with
his first case"
The need of a new law building is
strongly impressed on Judge Clayberg.
The present quarters on the fourth
floor Of University hall are very re-
stricted and any make-shift for ex-
pansion will retard the growth of the
school which can really only come with
a new separate building and a larger
library.
