vnne tne federal courts in ruosi 01
the southern states have been prompt
In Issuing injunctions restraining the
enforcement of state laws regulating
railway rates, pending a final hearing
of the cases in the higher courts, Judge
Speer of the federal court In Georgia
has denied the application to enjoin
the operation of the state law as asked
by the railways. The refusal Is based
on the fart that although the railway
had months In which to litigate the
matter It waited until the last day
before asking for relief. Judge Speer
stated that he could not grant an In
junction, under such circumstances, but
would fix a hearing for a future date
and that, in the meantime, the railroad
must obey the state law.
The decision of the Georgia federal
court Is significant, as It comes at a
time when the war between Governor
Comer of Alabama and the railroads
of that state has reached a critical
stage. The railroads of Alabama have
issued a pamphlet, in which their case
Is reviewed at length, and much of
which Is devoted to personal and po
litical assaults upon the governor. The
entire document looks more like a
campaign circular than a petition or
showing to a court of Justice. Out of
the discussion of the Georgia and Ala
bama cases has come a new element
too, frequently overlooked In the settle
ment of railroad matters In the courts.
The stockholders of railroads In both
Georgia and Alabama have united In
a statement to the effect that they do
not approve the action of the railway
managers. These stockholders con
tend that the managers. Instead of
being progressive, are always Intoler
ant of change and spend too much of
their time in predicting disaster from
state legislation, although their rail
roads have prospered constantly.
Tne Speer decision has served to
Etrengthen the hands of the stock
holders and may result in convincing
the railroad managers of the south
that the interests entrusted to their
care are not to be promoted by fighting
every regulative law Irrespective of Its
merits.

CHARACTXR1S TIC.
It Is characteristic for the demo
cratic World-Herald to trim Us sails
cn the republican candidate for su
preme Judge before even the vote of
the primary has been canvassed. Dur
ing the preliminary campaign Judge
Reese had nil its sympathy and encour
agement. As viewed through its eye
glasses, he was the first choice of re
publicans who were really enlisted In
the cause of reform and was being op
posed only by railroad lawyers and
corporation retainers doing the bid
ding of old ring bosses. The railroad
machine was pictured as straining
every resource to prevent the nomina
tion of Judge Reese.
Bucketsfull of crocodile tears were
shed for poor Judge Reese and every
rope of sympathy was thrown out to
the Reese followers by the democratic,
organ to make it easy for them to
climb into the basket of the demo
cratic balloon in case Judge Reese
should be defeated for nomination.
Had Judge Sedgwick won, the World
Herald would' Immediately have told
every republican who voted for Reese
that to stay with the republican ticket
would mean to turn the party back to
the railroads and that their only con
sistent course would be to fall in line
behind the democratic standard
bearer. But now that Judge Reese has
proved victorious In the primary, the
sympathy game has been promptly de
clared off. According to the World
Herald, Reese Is now nothing but a
fake reformer. It Is now sure that
the railroads were not really against
him or he would not have come out
money. Those Cincinnati traveling
men must have it figured out that
Bryan is to continue on the road mak
ing Chautauqua circuits for an indefi
nite period.
Colonel Bryan has not struck a very
happy phrase In calling Secretary Taft
"The Great Postponer." Colonel
Bryan started out for government
ownership of railroads, but then an
nounced that he was willing to post
pone It until after he should be given
a chance to prove that government
regulation Is a failure.
Some timid souls are imagining that

The race question Is presented In a
new form by the riots at Belllngham,
Washington, In which nearly 1,000
Hindu workmen have been driven from
the lumber camps and forced to return
to Canada, to secure protection from
the British authorities. The Belllng
ham incident seems to have been fully
as 'disgracoful as the assaults upon
the Japanese by the "unwhlpped mob"
of San Francisco.
Details of the causes leading up to
the rule of the mob are wanting, but
It Is evident-that the law was defied
and little effort made by the civil au
thorities to protect, the victims from
the fury of mob passion and prejudice.
It remains to be explained how, the
Hindus were admitted to positions in
the sawmills of the Belllngham dis
trict It must be accepted, in the ab
sence of information to the contrary,
that they complied with the rules and
regulations of the Immigration bu
reaus, In which case they were entitled
to the same protection that is pledged
to American citizens.
The difficulty at Belllngham, as in
San Francisco, New York, in the south
and wherever the law is overturned
by the mob, seems to have been that
men did not stop to investigate the
question of blame. Whites side with
white and black with black without
investigation. The men do not ask
what is right, but simply back their
own race, preferring to help with their
own race In crime rather than to make
an effort to suppress crime.
The remedy for the situation in
Washington, as In the south and
wherever mob rule obtains, Is punish
ment for the guilty.
has a bad record, which alone Is re
sponsible for his defeat the last time
he ran. It is convinced that those re
publicans who voted for Judge Reese
at the primary were misguided and
those who voted for Judge Sedgwick
should refuse to accept the verdict.
It follows that to please the World
Herald every republican should get
ready to vote the democratic ticket.

Naval circles are all agog over the
announcement that the president has
decided completely to reorganize the
official staff of the battleships that
will make the trip to the Pacific this
winter, by relegating most of the pres
ent commanders to shore duty and fill
ing their places with younger officers.
Eighteen vessels are to participate In
the impending demonstration and it is
stated that only four of these are to
be commanded by their present cap
tains, while the other fourteen are
committed to younger men.
Much discussion of the plan and
more or less protest on the part of
the friends of the older officers may
i be expected, but the decision will
doubtless have a beneficial effect upon
the service. It will serve no purpose
to argue that Admiral Dewey was over
60 years of age when he won that
victory In Manila Bay and that Schley
and Sampson were well advanced lo
years at the time of the Santiago fight.
The fact remains that the chief source
of complaint among officers of the
navy Is that promotions come too
slowly and that the best years of a
Junior officer are spent In subordinate
commands. It Is contended that the
services of the older men are In de
mand In official capacity in the depart
ment at Washington and at the navy
yards where their experience Is an as
set of great value, while he men who
are In their physical prime are better
fitted to endure the stress of active
campaigning.
The proposed plan Is not necessarily
a reflection upon the older men, but
Is designed to give. the younger cap
tains an opportunity to gain experi
ence valuable to the country In future
years and future campaigns. Under
the present system, the naval officer
does not normally reach command until
within a very few years of compulsory

For many years, since Secretary Bout

treasury to transfer federal money to

this money has found. Its. way Into tho
hands of the speculators. Apparently
there was no way to prevent this, but
Secretary Cortelyou has undertaken to
solve the problen by disassociating the
federal treasury with the needs of
Wall street.
Under the Cortelyou plnn, the fed
eral money, of which there 13 a vast
accumulation In the treasury, is being
released In weekly installments, not to
Wall street, but to national deposi
tories In the region where the funds
aro needed for crop moving. He plans
to place about 30,000,000 In the

recognizing the fact that from the

flowing into the1 treasury from the cus

positing this with eastern banks, as

The tribute paid in Europe annually by
American tourists Is sufficient to keep the
wolf from the doors of hotelkeepera. shop
keepers, and the large and small fry lean
ing on the purses of globe trotters. F.stl
mates of this year's distribution of Ameri
can coin abroad puts the sum at 975,000,000,
enough to knock a larga hole In America's
balance of trade. It Is definitely known
that 150,000 Americans crossed the ocean.
Fstlmatlng the average expense of each at
$500 produces the total of $75.0,000. This
Is a very simple, though not an exact way
of figuring the total expenses of Americans
abroad. Doubtless a great many travelers
of moderate means spend less than $500.
Where ona lteepa below that sum two will
exceed It, and others rcunt the cost by
thousands Instead of hundreds. A large
percentage of rich Americans spend monsy
lavishly. They have created new and
more costly standards of hotels In Eu
ropean cities, and next to royalty are the
most liberal patrons of , jewelry, picture
and clothing shops. In London alone ona
writer calculates that Americans this year
have spent $7,500,000. At one of the largest
hotels which has housed 6.600 Americans
since March, the average bill has been $30.
There are at least five hotels which can
give similar figures, and Resuming that the
average American spends besides $125 In
London, which Is not an extravagant esti
mate, the writer reaches his total as the
result of his Investigations. Even the beg
gars, who line the road to the crest of
Mount Vesuvius, report a season of greater

Time's kaleidoscopic changes are Illus

Sweden, who was entertained In part by
descendatts of the kin of old Teter Stuyva
Bant, who destroyed the transient connec
tion of Sweden with the colonial history of
the United States by driving the Swedish
colonists out of the country In the middle
of the seventeenth century.
The young man who will be enter

Beekman, Fish and Livingston, who were
of the family of Peter Stuyvesant, the
testy but vigorous Putch governor of New
Amsterdam 250 years ago.
There was a time when the Swedes were
making an heroic effort to colonlre perma
nently In America. Just 270 years ago the
Swedish West India company sent out a
colony of Swedes and Finns, who arrived
early tho next year, and, purchasing all
the lands from Cape Henlopen to the falls
near Trenton, erected a fort at the mouth
of Christina creek.
They named the country New Sweden, or.
In their own tongue. Nja Svertge. Subso
quently they settled mostly within the
present limits of Pennsylvania. The Dutch
claimed the country by right of discovery
and settlement, and they prepared for the
expulsion of the Intruders.
The struggle did not last long, the
Swedish forts were reduced and all the
colonists who refused allegiance to Holland
were sent to Europe.
Sweden at that period was one of tit
greatest nations of Europe. Its powerful
monarch, Gustavua Adolphus, was dead.

succeeded him. had made her court famous
by Inviting to It the greatest scholars and

Charles X, who made Europe ring with

Charles XI, who came after him, proved
himself an administrative genius, and ha
was succeeded by the most brilliant, though
not the greatest figure. In Swedish history.
Charles XII, who, If he had concluded
peace at the height of his success, could
have been for many years by far the
mightiest potentate In northern Europe.
It was during this period also that Rus
sia emerged as a united and growing state,
and that Prussia began to display some of
those qualities which ultimately made It
aupreme In Germany, while the house of
Brunswick occupied the throne of Great
Britain, Sweden's glory declined colncl
dently with the ascension of these powers.
It la Interesting to note that the acquisi

dreams of Charles XII, was realised by
the ancestor of our royal visitor, Prince
William, the French Marshal Bernadotte,

STILL A IIOY.
Frank H. Flanner In The Reader.
"Still a boy" we heard one say
To another, half In Jest.
Then fun wrinkles Joined In play
With a laugh of merry seal;
And the Jolly frame of nlm
BhooH with bursts of sheerest Joy
As he anrwered back with vim,
"Well, I'm glad I'm still a boy!"
Still a boy aye, true enough
Glad, yet gentle; pure and kind;
Molded sure of manly stuff
Kind of boy It's hard to find.
Kind of boy it's good to see
Man-boy, wholesome; simple; true
Kind of boy you'd like to be
If the choice were left to you.
Still a boy how many now
Have forgot the solemn eye
Have forgot the wrinkled bcow
Is the boy's that once came by?
Call him back It Is his due;
Ijet him come with youth and Joy
Back Into the heart of you.
Laughingly, and still a boy.
Still a boy ah, well-a-day,
Uoy are sea ice enough at best.
With the rippling roundelay
Lei the )oy still be your ffuest;
Let him cleave unto your heart
In boy confidence and hold
Still a boy the man apart, ,
Long, long after he la old.
