THE WHITE SLAVE LAW.

The supreme court passing judgment the celebrated Caminett case, has approved the Mann white slave traffic act" That is the has pronounced it legal establishing the fact that has to enact such law. With the question whether or not it is good law from the standpoint of public morals the has nothing do opin- ion is evident enough
 The court holds that though the law may have been intended to apply only copmercalized vice. and individual escapades. be taken its face value, and the wording of plainly makes it applicable both classes of oenses. It is admitted that this in depreciation makes the law lend purposes of backmail In that has been its chief effect-the actual abridgement of interstate white traffic" has been negbie. But such defect says the court is for congress itself to remedy
 It's good lesson for the nations lawmakers IL doesn't matter how good their intentions may have been. They put their intentions language that means what it was meant to mean They must learn how write laws accurately And when becomes ev dent that they have made mistake, they have this case they should courage to admit their and amend the law

OUR CARTHAGE BILL.

In a recent address to the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. Secretary Redfeld of the federal commerce department made a surprising statement that our na- tonal carriage bill" is five times great our freight bill
 If that estimate is anywhere near correct are spending from SIP 300 OOOOO to s25 900 100000 year merely for carng things around local hauls. Compared with that all the money collected by all our railroads for all services together is trivial
 Here's the way it works Mr. Redfeld remarked that it "costs take a barrel from the warehouse to the railway in Philadelphia than does transport it from Philadelphia to Chicago"
 The evil is seen at it's worst in the big cities and the bigger city the absurdy disproportionae is the carriage expense A New York merchant says that to deliver of goods from the lower end of Manhattan Island to Brooklyn, just the river than ship the goods to the Philip pine Islands, that it costs much to ship barrel of potatoes from downtown Manhattan to uptown Manhat tan as does ship them from Norfolk, Va, to New York.
 While the nation has been making great fuss about railroad freight rates says MT Redfeld, we've been wasting at the bunglole" Railroad transportation s everything considered of the cheapest things in America. Cart truck transportation is, everything considered, the dearest The railroads making all the money they deserve to make, with existing rates But it is argument for serious consideration of nonrailroad hauling problem If spent in concert ed, nationwide effort to reduce the cost of carng modes around cities half the effort we've spent in keeping freight rates down. might much entire freight bill saving would nearly all go the consuming public. All commodities would cost less.

WAR SUMMARY

In none of the war zones is any fighting of great moment in progress. Even in Rumania the belligerents are virtually at a standstill, there having been only minor engagements on the various sectors. Isolated attacks and counter attacks have taken place in Russia. in the region of Friedrich atadt, 8aranoyitchi, and Kovei. with out either side attaining any imGr- taEt results.
 Operations carried out by raiding parties and reciprocal bombardments continue to feature the fighting on the western front. Artillery activity is still quite spirited at various points in the region of Verdun and in the VOs- ges mountains near Chapelotte.
 A Berlin wireless dispatch says ra- dio distress signals picked up at Rot terdam reported a British transport with 1900 men on board had struck mine in the English Channel and was sinking No confirmation of Nis. has been received.
