afternoon.

The news that the United States su-
preme court had decided the Minnesota
case in favor of the state was received
with much qualification by state officials
this afternoon.
Governor O'Neal was one of the first to
hear that the case had been decided in
favor of the state of Minnesota, and he
expressed himself as much pleased with
the courts decision.
The governor declared, however, that
he had no desires to be quoted on the
subject but Indicated that he believed
that the courts decision would have
tendency to strengthen this states case
against the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad company.
Opinion Shared
This opinion was also shared by At
torney General Robert C. Brickell. who
was much pleased with the supreme
courts ruling.
When asked for a statement with ref
erence to the courts decision, the at
torney general said: This decision
necessarily increases the efficiency of
the state railroad commissions, and if
the decision is as indicated. it will for
ever set rest the right of the state to
control intrastate business.
1t will be of great benefit to this state
in the difficulties it is now having with
the various railroads.
While none of the members of the
state railroad commission was seen, it
is known that they have anticipated that
the supreme court would decide the case
In favor of the state, taking the posi-
tion that the court has heretofore ruled
in favor of the right of the state to
regulate intrastate business. and that tri-
bunal would probably adhere to that
opinion in the present instance
Strengthens Alabama Case
Officials are inclined to believe that
the courts decision will go far towards
strengthening the state of Alabama's s
case against the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad company many of them ex-
pressing the positive conviction that the
Louisville and Nashville will probably
lose In its fight to secure a temporary
injunction against the order of the COM
mission directing that a passenger rate
of 21a cents per mile be established on
it's lines in Alabama.
Argument on the question of granting
the railroad an injunction was heard
before three federal judges in Atlanta
last week, two days and one-half having
been consumed in the argument The
hearing was before Judge Don Pardee.
of Atlanta, and Judge David Chelby OF
Huntsville, circuit judges, and District
Judge William I Grubb of Birmingham.
The state was represented at the hearing
by Attorney General Brickell and Judge
s.. d. Weakley and Fl. c. Selheimer of
Birmingham, special attorneys.
Following the argument in the case,
the federal judges declared they would
take the matter under advisement, and
announce their decision later.
Whether not the supreme courts
ruling will have any effect upon the de-
cision of the federal judges on the qiles-
ton of granting the railroad company
an injunction can only be surmised, but
it is practically certain that the states
case has been considerably strengthened
by the decision of the highest court In
the land, and many are predicting vic
tory for the state, and the setting at
rest of all future questions relative to
the right of the state to control intra-
state business.

A TRIBUTE TO DADDY.

According to W. j. Bryan ;
Commoner when Miss Genevicvc
Clark, daughter of Speaker
Champ Clark, was about to sail on
a pleasure trip to Europe, she was
asked by a representative of the
New York American: What is
your ideal of a man" Miss Clark
replied, "My father" And when
asked Why she answered:
It's because he is 50 intensely
human because he has such sure
vision; because he knows people
so well and is kind. Nobody in
the world has kinder heart com
bined with a better understanding
of men than my daddy. He has
always been my pal and all !
know has been made real thru
him. His judgment of men IS
amazingly accurate and his sym
patty is big and broad. -
That was a pretty tribute. Prob
ably there are many daughters
who find their ideal in their faith
er, and it is well for society tina;
some of the loving opinions find a
place in the public prints 1t is
safe to say that among all the
high tributes to his fine qualities,
Speaker Clark will treasure none
as he does the one paid him by his
brilliant daughter.
