Railways Win Title.

Title of transcontinental railroads
to some $500, 900. 900 worth of petrol
cum land as against other private
claimants. was upheld by the supreme
court in a test suit brought by Ed.
mund Burke of California against the
Southern Pacific Railroad company.
At the same time Justice Vandeven-
ter, for the court, stated that SEEM
ingly the governments right to attack
the railroads title for fraud or error
had expired in 1900 or 1901. It was
made plain, however, that the rights
of the government were not involved
in the case before the court, and there
was no mention Of the recent suit
brought by the government against
the Southern Pacific to regain the very
lands in question.

SPOKANE WINS IN
SUPREME COURT
INTERMOUNTAIN RATE ORDERS
HAVE BEEN SUSTAINED.
Long and Short Haul Clause
Of Interstate Commerce Law
Found Constitutional.

The interstate commerce eeommis-
sion's socalled intermountain rate or
ders have been sustained as valid by
the supreme court which held. at the
same time, that the long and short
haul clause of the Interstate commerce
law was constitutional. Both had
been attacked ty the tIauscontinenta
railroads.
The defunot commerce court. pass
ing over the constitutional question,
had annulled the orders on the ground
that the com mission had no authority
to issue "blanket" or "zone" orders
and might act only on the reasonable
ness of specific rates. In overturning
that contention and holding that the
commission did have such power. the
supreme coult decided point which
lawyers and close observers of the in
terstate commarce mission's pro
cedure say is of equal Importance to
the intermoutnain rate case itself-if
not greater. -e%'
Opposition to the FIVE per cent in
crease in freight rates icing asked BY
the eastern railroads--and upon which
the interstate commerce commission is
expected to announce its decision at
any day--had been based principally
upon the contention that the commits
sion did not have authority under the
law TO grant such a "Elanket" in
| crease.
What the effect, il any, Of the de-
oision upon the rate case may be, can
only be the subject of oonjecture.
There are those among the we'll in.
| formed in the commissions procedure,
however, who say the decision of the
railroads application has been delayed
,awaiting the supreme courts decision
on that important point. ..
AS to the intarmountain rate orders
themselves. however, their effect Ii
that such western cities west of the
Rocky Mountains as Reno. Spokane
and Phoenix. will not be forced to pay
upon their freight from the east, the
regular rate through to the Pacific
coast and then also another rate from
the Pacific back to their stations, be-
cause the railroads are competing with
water borne traffic around Cape Horn
or through the Panama canal.
They will, however, pay certain i'll
oreases over the normal rates from
certain zones. Thus the railroads may
charge no more than the regular rate
on shipments originating in the terri
tory west of a vertical line drawn
through st. Paul. They may. how
ever, charge an increase Of seven per
cent on those originating between st.
Paul and Chicago. not more than 10
per cent on those between Chicago and
Pittsburg, and not more than 25 per
cent ON those between Pittsburg and
the Atlantic seaboard. Those increas-
es the commission prescribed as rea-
sonaEle because of the condition OF
the water competition. gl, . ..a
AS a result of the decision all cues
tion is removed as to the right of the
commission, not only to pass on the
.reasona bleness of lower rate for q
haul to a more distant city than to O
nearer one in the same direction, but
to fix how much the differences may
be removed.

grant TO the nation the peace which
the world cannot give.
Forty hours devotion wax opened at

by a procession of the school children,

city in their share in the observation
Of Peace Sunday. Hardly an empty
seat was 20 be found in any Of he
churches at the services during the
day. At St Patrick's church three
services were held. at 1880 and 1890
in the morning, and at 1880 in the
evening At St JOseph's peace ser
vices were observed at 1880 and again
at 1870.
At the 1880 services holy communion
was received by the pensioners at
both churches. At St. Patrick's, the
St. Vincent de Paul society and the
Holy Rosary cOnfraternity approach
ed in a body, several hundred going
forward and Offering the communion
in the cause OF peace. All masses
were offered up in the cause of peace.
In the sermons by both Father De
GroOte Of st. Patrick's and Father
Carroll OF St. JOseph's. high tribute
was paid 20 Pres. Wilson for his eff
forts toward bringing about world
peace. His proclamation for day
OF prayer was pointed out by both
priests as one OF the most splendid
examples Of faith in God and in the
efficacy Of prayer. and OF charity for
that portion Of the world now at war.
11le GF1IiCe Oh GedSc-
Father De GrOOte gave his sermon
on peace at the evening services, TAX
ing as his subject The Prince OF
Peace" His text were the opening
words Of the Lords prayer, Our
Father who art in heaven, thy will be
done on earth as in heaven" This
is the Fathers prayer he said, and
a prayer that every christian should
offer up each day. Men and nations
4 =. g. IL.
their God and fOrsake humanity and
the spirit of peace IS dead" He took
occasion to point TO several Of the
countries now at war for their efforts
in the past TO drive christianity from
their borders and the results. He
concluded with a beautiful portrayal
of Christ as the Prince of Peace and
with the solemn prayer that all Cath
Ole churches join with the rest of the
world in a prayer for peace.
Coincident with the day of prayer
was the Feast Of the Holy Rosary
celebrated at both churches. Relative
to this Father Carroll of st. Joseph's
church said: 1.-The Feast of the Holy
Rosary commentaries a double vic
tory in he history Of the christian
world. First in the 18th century when
the Blessed Virgin taught to st. Dom
inic the devotion of the rosary and
brought about the cessation Of the
Albegensian heresy. Second in the
10th century when Don of Austria
won his great victory over the Turks
at the battle Of LepantO and drove
them back from Europe" Father
De Groote likewise pointed to these
two episodes.
Lust For Conquest.
Relative to arbitration Father Car
roll said that "Only when national
opinion is strong enough and suffi-
GENTLY enhanced with principles OF
christianity as taught by Christ will
the worlds disputes be settled by ar
filtration. Universal disarmament has
been advocated but until people rec
ognize the sanity Of peace and until
they put away all warlike spirit and
