Politics.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

There is general sentiment among
Americans that politics is degrading.
This is singular. For we are a democ-
racy, and perfect democracy only ex-
lists when every man-and woman-and

DECISIONS ON RATES
| SUSTAINED BY COURT
Orders of |. C. C. in Shreve-
port-Texas Cases Upheld
by Commerce Tribunal.

The Commerce Court today upheld the
interstate commerce comm ssion's orders
in the Shreveport-Te rate cases, and
in many respects sustained principles
which the railroads are asking the SUI
preme Court to adopt in the forty-five
state rate cases now awaiting decision.
The Commerce Court entirely upheld
the powers of Congress and the inter-
determinations caused by a state rail-
road commission enforcing intrastate
rates lower than interstate rates which
have been held to be reasonable
Because of the similarity of the Shreve-
port case to the state rate cases, Attor-
ney General McReyolds last Monday filed
brief in Intervention in the state rate
cases with the Supreme Court. as a
friend of the court" Attorneys for the
state of Minnesota today filed their re-
ply, but expressed the opinion that the
Shreveport decision would not affect their
cases, because the state of Minnesota, as
distinguished from Texas, is seeking to
sustain the right of a state to establish
a system of intrastate rates. presume bly,
reasonable in themselves and having no
reference to interstate commerce.
Thomas ID. O'Brien of counsel Tor the
state of Montana in the brief filed today
outlined reasons FOR distinguishing the
Shreveport case from the state rate
cases. Among them were these:
"One was instituted to prevent inten-
tional and actual interference with the
business of citizens of Louisiana by the
hostile action of Texas; the other to es-
tab!ish that a state system of rates for
.ntrastate business much higher per ton
mile, upon the average than interstate
rates upon the same road, Is an unlawful
interference with such Interstate rates.
The Shreveport case was brought to
obtain reductions in individual high rates,
the Minnesota cases to invalidate the
state regulation of railroad rates to the
end that railway revenues might be
thereby increased"
Ihe former case attempted to put an
end To the neutrs-.zat ton OF the natural
advantages Of Shreveport by excessive
outgoing rates; the latter to destroy the
states right to regulate its Internal COM
MERGE"

DELAY SURPRISES Upton
English Yachtsman Cannot
Understand Farley Over
Cup Challenge.

LONDON. April a5.-Sir Thomas Upton
who has been anXiously awaiting the re-
ply of the New York Yacht Club to his
challenge for the Americas cup. is some
what surprised that its consideration b!
the committee of the American club has
been put off for two weeks. He said he
was to refer a challenge to the committee
of the club, but on the last occasion the
committee gathered on the same day as
the club meeting was held and the re-
ply was sent that night.
In regard to the report cabled from
New York that the New York Yacht Club
would ask for some further particulars,
Sir Thomas Upton said he could not UNI
derstand what further details were de-
sired, as the challenge was drawn on the
lines of previous ones which the New
York Yacht Club had accepted.
BOSTON, April 25.-Cnless restrictions
as to type are thrown around the Ameri-
cas- cup races of 1914 Boston expects to
be represented in the American trial
races by a I5-fOOt ScOw. Eastern de-
sgners have produced some very fast
boats of this type during the past few
years. and 1t was stated that to increase
the size of such yacht would be a mat
ter only Of the scientific adjustment OF
weights, braces and the selection OF the
right material, while the estimated ex-
pense would be less than $lcO.000 The
Reliance cost $25O.OJ0
Such yacht might fall far short OF
the present ideal as to looks. said de-
signer today. but she would be almighty
fast and the present attitude of the New
York Yacht Club calls for the speediest
boat that can be turned out.
Yachtsmen here hope that the trial
races next year will be thrown. open to
all yacht clubs in the country

SQUARE DEAL PROMISED

Secretary RedfieId Declares
Rules of Navigation Must

While Secretary of Commerce Redfeld,
In letter to correspondent declares

that the little fellow to get this must

been possible to comply with the regula-
tons. and have seen many occasions of

get and will get a square deal, but this
leaves unsettled the question what a
