A CASE OF

In the supreme court recent decision regarding the right of the
legislature to repeal an initiated law, the court states in effect that
Mr: Richards did not avail himself of the Opportunity to refer the
Legislative act Of repeal.
The inference is drawn that had he taken advantage of the right
OF referendum the legislative act Of repeal would have been held in
allegiance pending a vote of the people.
Whether the court forgot about it, or merely overlooked it for
the time, the fact remains that every court that had passed upon the
question at all had upheld the legislative power to determine the
existence of an emergency. Even the supreme court itself had de-
Iclared, IN substance, the legislature to be the sole judge with refer
|cnce to the existence OF a emergency.
This being the case, it was folly, the height Of folly, for Mr.
richards or any other man to attempt to invoke the referendum with
regard to the emergency.
The supreme court, in its views concerning the emergency, has
virtually reversed itself, and to that extent it has forestalled at
power to repeal or amend an initiated law.
The question naturally arises whether the court may not reverse
itself again upon this or some other point. The courts implied
criticism of Mr.. Richards for his failure to attempt to invoke the
referendum is, in fact, a criticism Of the court itself.
Lawyers contend that unless courts stick to precedent nobody
knows what to expect, and consequently court practice and court
procedure become a sort Of haphazard guess, with nothing to serve
as a guide.
Acting upon the principle involved, Mr.. Richards considered it
useless to invoke the referendum upon a question already determined
by the supreme court. The question now arises whether, if at some
time he should resort to the referendum to hold up a legs-
laltve repeal of an initiated law, the court might not again reverse
itself.
There's an old axiom somewhere midst the dim and misty
archives which, IN substances, says that not until a court has passed
upon a point unanimously three times can it be considered as firmly
We wonder, then, how long before the question Of emergency,
or the legislative right to use it excepting as specified by the con
sttutlon, will be settled for all timey

ROBERT M. LA TOILETTE.

1t is announced that Senator Robert M. LaFolette will again
be a candidate for the presidency, subject to the republican decision
The Saturday News has long admired the Wisconsin statesman.
He is a man with a big heart d great mind, a man OF wonderful
force of character.
But we fear that Robert NJ. LaFollette has got about as near the
presidency as he will ever get Temperamentally he was never cut
out for the presidency.
He belongs in the ranks Of the fighters, the pushers, the beavers,
the heardsmashers, the heart-breakers p0hticaHy sReakngAr the
hewers of wood and the bearers of water.
He is a constructive statesman, it is true, but at the same time
he sometimes pulls down in a single hour what has taken him half
la life time to build up.
In the campaign Of 1912, we have understood, aud have been
half inclined to accept the statement IS well founded, Mr.. Roosevelt
had pledged his support to the LaFollette candidacy, but when it
hoped for it the Roosevelt following rallied around the man.
from Oyster Bay.
THE Chicago convention had the senator committed himself to the
Roosevelt candidacy earlier in the campaign. But, instead, he in
sttuted a vtuperative fight against the former president and vr-
|tually allied himself with the interests commanded by Barnes and
Penrose.
As We have already intimated, we think the senator's heart has
always been right, but his personally ambitious head oyerpowered
tied the sIaFoIette candidacy for the presidency IS q factor to be
seriously reckoned with.
The Saturday Night, published at Detroid, Mich. the home
lof Henry Ford, pays Mr.. Ford 9 high compliment In a tWo-eolumn
article. ssAnd it il, We believe declares the paper, sa fair esi-
Of the man to say that he is 9 mcdaniel genius Of 9 sweet and

I'VE do not know, but we are inclined to think that will be about the
general public estimate Of the man after he shall have been gathered

lstarted 5oMt. to shut off the European war single-handed and almost
alone. And vet Mr. Ford might accidentally accomplish something

RedGeld May Quit;
at Odds With Wilson

Washington, Oct. 29.-The possibil-
ity of Secretary of Commerce Redfield
resigning from the Cabinet was widely
discussed here to-day as the result of
the irritation felt in high official cir
cles at statements which have been
made by Mr.. Redfield as to measures
which might be adopted to prevent the
dumping of European goods at low
prices in the American markets at the
end of the war.
Following a conference with the
President yesterday Secretary Redfield
announced that he would recommend
to Congress the enactment of u law
making the dumping of foreign made
goods at below the market price pun
ishable as a violation of the antitrust
laws. Mr. Redfield in a statement at
tributed to him outlined the legislation
which he had in mind, even to the
extent of phrasing it in two sections,
and the impression seemed. to be con-
veyed that his views represented the
conclusion of the Wilson Administra-
ton on the matter.
The Presidents close friends gave
evidence of surprise when they read
Mr.. Redfields statement to-day. Steps
were Immediately taken to ascertain
liz the President had authorized any
such utterance and an emphatic de-
NAL was made that the Secretary of
Commerce had spoken any opinions
but his own.

45O-ROOM HOTEL
IN FOURTH ST.?
Rumored Dickering For Site
Swept by Fire Several
Weeks Ago

That a big 450-room hotel will be
built at Fourth and Chestnut streets
on the block swept by the fire in the
Central Garage several weeks ago, is
the rumor to-day in well informed
realty and hotel circles.
1t was said that Fred B. Aldinger,
proprietor of the Plaza Hotel in Market
street at the entrance to the Penn
sylvania Railroad station, is at the head
of the interests dickering for the
Fourth and Chestnut street site. which
is largely owned by the Doehne estate.
Mr. Aldinger when seen this morning
denied that active negotiations were
on for the site, but admitted that hotel
men throughout the city have been dis
cussing the advisability of building
"Harrisburg's Million Dollar Hotter at
this point because of its proximity to
the shopping and theatrical district and
it's nearness to the railroad station.
81 believe there is great oppor-
tunity for a new hotel at Fourth and
Chestnut Streets" said Mr. Aldinger,
but it is not true that I am dickering
for the site. The city needs new
hotel and needs ii badly and l would be
among the first to head a subscription
list for stock for the right kind of a
hotel, / can assure you.

Shipless Exports Tie Up
Railroads; Many Cars Held

New York, Oct. 29.-"More ships."
Is the cry of railroad men and export
ers' who view with increasing dismay
the spectacle OF long miles of stalled
freight cars loaded with goods for
abroad at the terminals of the eastern
trunk lines This congestion has
grown with each day, as shippers
dump more and more of their goods
on the roads without any immediate
chance of having them loaded on
vessels. The lack of ships and the
inadequate facilities for handling the
great increase in export freight-due.
railroad men say, to the economy
which the roads have had to exercise
because of adverse legislation-are
given as two of the chief reasons for
the turning of miles of cars, that might
nc usefully used elsewhere, into stor-
age warehouses on wheels.
