Following tho decision in favor of
tho guaranteed deposits law the su
preme court upheld other statutes
involving states rights. A Wash
ington dispatch says: "A stamp tax
on sale for future delivery of stocks,
grain, provisions or other commodi
ties may be imposed by a state with
out violating the federal constitu
tion, according to a decision of tho
supremo court of tho United States
in passing the Missouri stamp act of
1907. The law provided that it
should bo unlawful for any corpora
tion or persoruto keep a place where
in was permitted the buying or sel
ling of stocks, grains, provisions or
other commodities for future deliv
ery without at the time of the sale
a memorandum being made of the
transaction and a 26 cent stamp
placed thereon. The law provided
that the fund aTising from the sale
of tho stamps should be put into the
hands of the state auditor as a good
roads fund. Upholding the power
of a state to pass upon tho question
of how much dirt is likely to be
found in a carload of grain, the su
preme court of the United States
sustained a' Missouri statute abolish
ing a rule of tho board of trade of
Kansas City, Mo., for the reduction
of one hundred pounds from the
weight of each carload of grain
bought by its members as estimated
dirt. Although the statute was in
general terms it was acknowledged
in the presentation of the case to
the supreme court that the act was
aimed to prevent the operation of
a Yule of the board of trade at Kan
sas City, Mo., which required its
members to deduct one hundred
pounds from the weight of a car
load of grain as an estimate of the
dirt and other foreign substance con
tained therein. The supreme court
of Missouri held that the law was
constitutional. This court affirmed
the Missouri decision.
President Taft decided that Com
mander W. S. Sims, tho United
States naval officer, who, at a recent
dinner given in London by the may
or of that city declared that if Great
Britain ever were seriously threat
ened, she could depend on "every
man, every dollar, every drop of
blood," in this country, should be
publicly reprimanded. "His offense
has been so conspicuous," said the
president in his letter to Secretary
of the Navy Meyer, directing the
reprimand, "that the action of the
department in reproving it should
bo equally so."
CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE
President Taft, by his- nomination
of Justice White of the supreme
court of the United States to the
chief justiceship of that tribunal, re
gardless of the claim of partisan
politics, or the dictates of ralifHnna
prejudice, has done the nation a sig
nal service. Every one acknowl
edges that Judge White has no su
perior In his knowledge of tho law,
and that in tho more difficult office
of judge he stands pre-eminent. His
father and grandfather were distin
guished jurists and, like himself,
were loyal, practical Catholics. Ho
is thus tho second Catholic who will
have filled tho exalted office of Chief
justice, a position, in the estimation
of some, higher than that of the
presidency itself. Boston Sacred

has been open and. honorable. The
senate's immediate confirmation of
his appointment was a wellrdeserved
compliment." And when we cite cer
tain opinions of his It is with no in
tent to impugn his motives, in any
case, buf merely to picture the nar
row, ultra-technical bent of mind
that too often upon tho bench blocks
national progress and defeats sub
stantial justice through undue rever
ence for tho dry bones of mummified
precedents and technicalities. It
was Justice White who wrote tho
dissenting opinion in the Northern
Securities case, which, had it pre
vailed, would have left tho federal
government powerless to deal with

effecting combinations in restraint
