The Texas Case Will Throw New Light

Until the Supreme Court passes upon the Texas
Louisiana case it will not he possible to say pre-
ciselv how far II will hold the present interstate
commerce law to have asserted the authority Of the
United States over interstate railroad regulation
that is contrary to the interests Of commerce be
tween states In that case this specific question
will be before the court, it was not in the Mime
sofa case just decided.
In the Minnesota case the court said that there
was mo action Of that body 1.-THE Interstate Com
merce Commission before us for review and fur
ther:
This court has repeatedly held 1t would be destruc-
tive Of the system of regulation defined by the
statute II the court without the preliminary acion
Of the commission, to undertake 10 pass upon
the administrative questions which the statute has
primarily conhded 10 II.
That is TO say all questions Of fact with respect
o discrimination in rates in or affecting Interstate
commerce were placed by law under the jurisdiction
Of the Interstate Commerce Commission. II is for
the commission 10 determine whether interstate
rates discriminate unfairly against interstate com
merce And then II is for the court to determine
whether the law prohibits such discrimination
In the Texas Louisiana case the commission has
held that the Texas rates complained Of are dis
criminatory against interstate commerce. In the
Minnesota case the commission had not acted. II

A VOICE IN GOVERNMENT
Why the Widow with Twenty-one
Servants Should Have a Vote.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In yesterdays Tribune we read OF
a woman of wealth whose household en-
ployed twenty-one servants. Being a
widow, II would appear that she had no
body TO represent her in politics. Whether
she realized it or not, think what she
must have suffered, year after year, with
no voice I'm the government While we do
not know her opinion on the subject, IT Is
evident that II she wanted to vote she
should have been permitted to do so.
What logic can refute that?
For the same reasons, the servants
should be allowed TO vote. The only diff
ference I'm the two cases is thai while the
mistress might have a voice In the gov
eminent" the twenty-one servants would
nave the last word. r. II. THAfER.

first broke into politics in his native
county of Crittenden he had occasion
to try case before rural magistrate.
When the trial was ended the magis-

home to dinner with him. AS they
sat down at the table the old man
said:
collie, 1t pains me nightly to see
you messin' in with politics"
why so?" inquired James.
"Ollie, my son." said the magistrate,
politics amt f1ttin' pursuit for any

phone After short conversation the
clock struck II. In the afternoon OF
the same day, the Iew boarder being
again at the telephone, that whimsical
clock struck about ten minutes after

boarder's clock must be crazy.

The boy is visiting relatives near

a cow, fully a mile away, and he ran
and hid in the haymow, according to a

said his papa, who was reared on a

to the reach of a cows kick, and that
he thought 1t would be safer to hide
while one was In sight 1t was with
