EXCESS FARES CASE
WON BY THE STATE

The alleged "confscation" of rail
road property by the Missouri maxi
mum freight rate and 2-cent passen-
ger fare laws cannot be invoked by the
carriers in defending suits brought
against them by passengers or ship
pers to recover the overcharges col
lected while the State rates were sus-
pended by Federal injunction.
This is the effect Of the decision an
nounced at Washington, D. c., last
Monday, says the st. Louis Republic,
by the United States Supreme Court
in the suit which was brought by At
torney General John 7. Barker against
the Burlington railroad for the re-
covery Of 81 400 excess fares by State
officials while travelling on official bus
mess.
Ends Missouri Rate Fight
Lee B. Ewing, Assistant Attorney
General, said last night that the. Bur-
lington, which Baker sued direct in
the United States Supreme Court, had
pleaded in defense that the State rates
were confscatory and also that the
suit was barred by the statute Of linn
itations. The State filed motion to
strike out these defenses, the .argu-
ments were heard May 4 and the de-
cision sustained Barker's motion.
Barker held that the question of con-
fiscation had been settled in the Su-
preme Courts original opinion.
"The action of the Supreme Court
means that the railroads have no de-
Tense in the 'overcharge' cases." de-
clared Ewing. "All that remains to
be done is to ascertain the amount of
the overcharges due to any particular
claimant. 1t means also that the long
drawn-out fight over the rate question
in Missouri is settled and that the
railroads finally are beaten"
The Attorney General was assisted
in preparing his brief by Ewing and
Assistant Attorney General w. I.
Rutherford.
Following the enactment of the
maximum freight rate and 2-cent pas
senger fare laws in Missouri, an in
junction to prevent their enforcement
was granted in 1907 by the United
States District Court at Kansas City.
This Injunction remained in force UNI
til 1914, when decision of the United
States Supreme Court upheld the
State rates.

railroads for all the overcharges coll

1t wouldn't have been Republican
platform if it hadn't inserted a plank
in favor of protective tariff. That's
about the only thing that party ever
did stand for, and it managed to hold
the orgaiii;;g.;c.tt::otn together for long
time by its cohesive power Of plumber,
but it is too hoary and fossilized now
to arouse any enthusiasm. You can't
put pep into a mummy, but still it
has to be in the platform to pacify
the party's reactionaries. But when
it comes to a broad, universal, con-
structive policy in the interests of the
people, the Republican party is as
barren as a waste of sand. Sec ref
erence-Republican platform.

One looks in vain in the Republican
platform for what they would have
done if they had been in President
Wilson's place, or what they purpose
doing if the American people were
so stupid as to turn the reins of gov

YOUR KIDNEYS.

Durango Residents Must Learn The
Importance of Keeping Them Well.
Perfect health means that every or
gan of the body is performing its
functions properly.
Perfect health cannot be enjoyed
if the kidneys are weak and disor-
dered.
Thousands testify that Doan's Kid
ney pills have a reviving action on
weak kidneys.
What this remedy has done in so
many cases of this kind is the best
proof of its merit.
Read the following. It's testimony
gratefully given by a resident of this
locality:
William Reid, f.. Colorado ave-. Tel

lieves the pains in the back"

REV. RAE REFUTES
REPORTS OF LEAVING

Practically every seat in the audi
forum was occupied at the morning
service and at vespers Sunday in the
First Presbyterian church when the
first anniversary of the Rev. J. J. Rae's
pastorate was observed with appro
pirate ceremonies.
The pastor in his annual sermon to
the congregation at the morning SER
vice in speaking generally of the last
years work, discounted any belief that
he was to leave the pastorate until
the expiration of reasonable time.
He expressed his appreciation of the
support which has been given him by
the congregation.
Special music was rendered during
the services and communion was OBJ
served before the close of the morn
ing service. Last night under the
auspices of the Young Peoples Sunday
night club, the Rev. Mr.. Rae gave a
talk on Canada, illustrated with stere-
opticon views.
