LAW IS

 (continued from Page One) held in the case of the employers lia- bility act that that regulation was valid. That was no decision that the government has the power to regu- late wages.
 That is what we contend for" re- joined MT. Davis.
 That's the logic I can't follow" re- peated the chief justice.
 The solicitor general argued then that 1T congress can. regulate the re- turn of master and servant, of rail roads and employees, it can also regu- late wages.
 That is the most vital of aH." he continued. If underpaid and discon- tented, safety of commerce in charge of employees is affected. Also. wages have a direct relation to rates. invest ment and expense of service"
 Are Wages Subject to ResuIation7
 Your proposition goes farther than that" the chief jstice interposed, cit ing as an example freight shipped by a grocer. Do you intend that wages of all persons making these goods are subject to regulation?"
 No; we don't go that far" said Mir Davis, and pointed out that congress has the power to reduce railroad rates to prevent extortion.
 Has congress the power to pre- scribe what railroads shall pay for various things - locomotives, land, etc?" asked Justice sMcReynolds.
 sI am not SO sure that congress hasn't that power" Mir. Davis replied. "All authority is dependent upon it's reasonable and not arbitrary use"
 Justice Day suggested that con greSs' power i limited by constitution al prohibition against confiscation., To Regulate Stock and Bond Issues.

Da- wis continued and to say what price railroads shall pay for credit is being advanced in and outside of congress-" He added that under the deciion in the Debs case congress has the au- thority to prevent railroad strikes and obstruction of interstate com merce. He denied that penalties pro- vided by the Adamson laws are cx- cessive and upheld as reasonable the interurban electric roads
 The contention that the law is un- workable, MT. Davis said, was "a manifest after thought induced by the necessities of this case" To the charge that the law is experimental, he said public clamor would have fol- lowed had congress attempted to fix an arbitrary eight hour day scale in perpetuity without possibility of change under future changed condi- tionS.
 Tt may be congress did not please the railroads, the employees or the public" he concluded, "but the body that made the law should amend it and the judiciary must not usurp that Junction."

-----------ss.---------- MISS ROMANOFF, DANGER

From the Washington Star.
 When history comes to deal with the Russian revolution it will find a series of incidents compacted within very short space of time that has no parallel i.. the records of human activity. At present the world knows only little of what has happened in that vast land. The details of even the great overturn of last March are not now all understood outside of Russia, and probably not un- dcrstood even in some parts of Russia itself As for the counter revolution, If it may be so-called, of the radicals, it remains now a mystery and as an in- complete episode cannot be studied as a whole. But some strange results are coming from the overthrow of autocraoy. One of them is just reported. the es- cape from Siberia of Tatiana Romanoff, second daughter of the former Czar who Is coming to America to give public per formances in this country in aid of the Russian relief fund An imperial prin- cess on the public stage! Surely this is one of the strangest spectacles of this strange, mad time.

The police department is not nearly so busy now as 1t was a. few years ago, for with the Roscoe machines, the open saloons and the segregated district running full tilt, it used to be quite a lively burg" said Cap tain Hawkins, who has been on the force for over 24 years.
 When the city decreed that the Roscoe or Jitney' gambling machines must go, there were quite a few that tried to operate them against the law. I remember going into place on First avenue where one was being oper- ated against the law and the proprie- tor of the place approached me and asked if I would not consent to leave the machine unmolested and said that if I would he would share proceeds with me. When I saw that he was really in earnest I placed him in q home for bad men and saw that he was given the limit in the form of 8 fine"

 A friend of the writer gets more than
 double wear out of his rubber over
 shoes by half-soling them with rub the so1es of his overshoes become thin,
 but are still watertight, he takes a
 torn and otherwise useless inner tube
 and cuts half-sole from 1t. This half-sole is then cemented to the rub Der shoe-after both sole and shoe have been cleaned thoroughly and roughened with sandpaper-using ordi- nary rubber cement and clamping or holding both tightly together so that a secure union is obtained. The same kind of cement is used as for repairing g bicycle tires and if used according to the directions that accompany it, a satisfactory job will result. An at ! tached sole of this kind will often
 give longer wear than the original. If the heels also are worn, then can be repaired in the same manner. If you cannot procure an old rubber inner tube, most any kind of pliable sheet rubber will do providing it is of the proper thickness. Half-soles for arc- tics have been made from a piece of large size rubber hose. split and strengthened, and have given excellent service. The rubber used for this pur- pose must not be hardened from age. If it is not possible to procure an old piece of rubber, an extra half-sole or heel can be purchased from 8 rubber dealer.

Why Germany Is
 Ready for Peace

1NHERE is no excuse for any Amer J ican citizen of ordinary intelli- gence not being able to understand why Germany's desire for peace is one of policy and nothing more.
 There are no humane motives be- hind Germany's peace offers. There is no altruism in the makeup of a Prussian war lord. Humanity means nothing to him, and anyone who is so blind as to put any confidence in the pious protestations of the German government is worse than fool.
 Take a look at the war map. That middle European empire, the dream of Teutonic statesmen and military leaders, is a reality. If Germany were permitted to quit now, with the spells of war still in her possession, her am- bition for the present would be satis- fled. Her ultimate aim is the over throw of Great Britain and France, and America, when her domination of Europe has been firmly established. With the exception of short sector on the Arabian littoral of the Red Sea, the Teutonic empire and it's sub- sidiaries now extends from the Baltic sea to the Gulf of Alden.

value to her to draw troops of the en- tente from the western front unless their withdrawal resulted in a weaken ing on that front. Has it? The answer is being given at Cambrai and in Elan ders.
 Germany Is fighting this war primarily to crush France and England. That is her national purpose, over and over again expressed with 'Gott Strafing'' trimmings. France and England are not weakened by the German drive at Italy. In disclosing the reasonable work under way in portions of her armies and in bringing the patriotism of her people to the fore this drive, however costly, has been valuable to Italy. Out of 1t all Germany gets nothing except a stronger grip on the throat of Austria Hungary. To such temporary benefit as may come to her from that she is well come.
