cratic principles. It is regrettably
true that in the past Democratic con-
gressmen from Louisiana voted
against their party in favor of the
Dlngley bill and the Payne-Aldrich
Dill, Republican measures, and that
no protests were made on that
account from the Democrats Of the
state. This action, we are pursuaded,
was tolerated because the votes of
those congressman could not have
brought success to the Democratic
party at that time But no such
condition now obtains. The Under
wood bill hangs in the balance in
the senate, and victory or defeat
awaits it by a small margin Will
the senators from Louisiana bring de-
feat On their party by. their votes
against the bill? We trust not.
When the vote on the final passage
OF the bill is taken, we, as Demo
Gratis, have a right to demand, and
We do demand that the senators
fram Louisiana vote with the other
Democrats OF the senate in favor of
the bill.
We heartily endorse the action of

quired standard. Ordinances permit
ting the seizure and destruction of all
milk found to be impure or below

unsanitary premises have been up

were not allowed to show that the
milk was, nevertheless, perfectly
wholesome; the fact that the law
prohibits the sale of such milk is
final. 1t is matter properly within
the regulation of the law-making
power. The municipality may also
require that all cows be subjected to
tuberculin and other tests, and that
no milk be sold within the town
limits except from tested COWS.
Even though the dealer be licensed
and his milk come from properly fed

may yet be barred because it is not

SUPRE NE COURT
RATE DECISION
IS IMPORTANT
Holds in Minnesota Case State May
Fix Reasonable Interstate Rates
On Interstate Railroads Until
Congress Regulates Such
Rates.
State of Minnesota Is Enjoined From
Enforcing Maximum Freight Rate
and Two-cent Passenger Fare

WASHINGTON D. c. June 9.-The
power of states to fix reasonable in
trastate rates on interstate railroads,
until such a time as Congress chose
to regulate these rates, was upheld
today by the Supreme court of the
United States in the Minnesota freight
and passenger rate case. At the
same time the court laid down far
reaching principles governing the val
uation of railroad property for rate
making purposes, and, according to
these, held the state of Minnesota
would confiscate the property of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis Railroad
company by the maximum freight and
two-cent passenger fare law. 1t en-
joined the state from enforcing these
laws as to this road for the present

cific and Great Northern, however, it

nesota, which had enjoined their en-
forcement as both confiScatory and a
burden on interstate commerce.
Decision important One.
The decision is regarded as one of
the most important ever announced
by the court and has been under con-
sideration for fourteen months. Rail-
road commissions from eight states
and governors of. all of these states
filed briefs in support of the state in
the case, recognizing THAT the prin-
ciples involved affected all.
Rate cases from Missouri, Arkansas,
Oregon, Kentucky and West Virginia
were not decided today but the points
announced in the Minnesota case are
regarded as governing them general
ly. These will pobably be disposed
of tomorrow.
Criticism Of the apportionment Of
value between interstate and intra-
state business on a gross revenue
basis and the apportionment of eX-
penseS by regarding intrastate bust
ness as two and a half times as ex-
pensive as interstate, is considered
here as favorable to the state of
Missouri in it's fight to uphold the
two-cent passenger fare enacted by it.
Other Decisions Today.
The states of Oregon and Kentucky
are regarded as almost certain to win
their cases, involving the validity of
state freight rates. The decision
was announced by Justice Hughes.
Justice Hughes considered the attack
on state rates in two parts, one that
they placed an unlawful burden on
interstate commerce, and the other
that they are so low as to confiscate
the properly of the railroads.
In considering the Interstate COM
merce phase they took for granted
the state had the power to regulate
rates between points within the state
of Minnesota on roads not crossing
the state lines and SO far from the

POPULAR TALKS ON LAW.
MILK AND MUNICIPALITIES.

BY Walter K. Towers, A. B., ]. D., Of
the Michigan Bar.
The regulation of the milk supply
is matter that is of vital interest TO
all of us. To the babies the differ
ence between good milk and bad milk
is the difference between life and
death. To a great many of us milk
and cream mean either nourishment
or disease according as it is pure or
impure. Typhoid epidemics have
been frequently traced to an impure
milk supply and tuberculous cows
spread dreaded plague to those who
consume the milk.
The law has given the weight of
its authority to the regulation of milk
by municipal ordinances and state
legislative enactments. These laws
have for their purpose not only the
safeguarding of the milk supply
against disease but also the separa-
ton of all relations between the pro-
duct of the COW and the far-famed
milkman's pump. Watered milk has
frequently drawn down the lightnings
of the law as well as furnished inspir-
alton for the professional jokesmith.
1t was the subject of the following
diatribe, of which a ST. Louis Judge
recently relieved himself in the case
'of the city against a purveyor of di-
luted milk
Milk" said the wearer of the err
mine, IAN object of profound and vigi-
liant concern to the modern lawmaker,
has always been part and parcel of
the daily life, the adages and folklore
of mankind. For example: We are
told not to cry over split milk-that
is not to fret over real loss that
can't be helped. The Russian has
an adage, That which is taken in with
the milk only goes out with the
Soul-that is, early impressions
last till death. The Swede has one
denoting hospitality, viz, When there
is milk in the can for one, there is
milk in the can for two. In the
phrase, The milk of human kind
ness, is expressed the very heart
virtue. The bard of bardS does not
hesitate to connect milk and philoso-
ply, deeming that neither loses dig
nifty by the juXtaposition, he speaks
of 'Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy
All such amiable metaphors, saws,
SMILES, associated ideas and folklore
eschew the belittling idea of water in
milk Contra the milk held in
instance to the contrary (seemingly
the inadvertence of daring and err
ratio genius), viz:
oh, Mirth and Innocencei Oh, milk
and water,
Ye happy mixtures of more happy
days
Indeed, the universal, primal and
spontaneous mental conception we
have of milk, in the first instance, is
that it is unwatered. Take one case
