PHILADEWHIA, Jan. 2n.-The 2-cent railroad far law now in force In Pennsyl vania, was today declared unconstitutional by the state supreme court, which handed down an opinion affirming the decision of the common pleas court of Philadelphia, rendered last September. The vote of the court was 4 to S, the dissenting opinion being handed down by Justice Mestrexat. ' Th railroad contended" that the law was nuconstltutlonal In' that It waa unreason able and confiscatory, and , the court In a decision sustained the company's conten tion. "The corporation Is entitled to make a fair' profit on every branch of its business subject to the limitation that its corprate duties must be performed even though at a toss. What Is a fair profit Is a highly complicated and difficult" question. The, court below availed themselves of all the best evidence that was offered or shown to be attainable, considered It ' with ex emplary patience and care, and their con clusion that the enforcement of the act of 1907 against the complainant would do In justice to the corporators Is beyond Just criticism."

TO the Editor of The Bee: Here Is a letter in the Kansas City Star which I would like to see you print for the bonofit if old line democrats like myself. It Is signed by John Murtey of Verona, Neb., add reads as follows: "Can you tell us Nebraska democrats why Missouri democrats still want Bryan? Missouri . democrats know liat he used Bland an a decoy In tho Chi cago convention In 1S96 to bring the nomination to himself. They now know that his charges against Judge- Parker before th . St. Louis convention were false and that he again Used a Missouri democratSenator Cookrell as a decoy again to bring the nomination to him self. Ills object in denouncing Judge Parker, Sullivan and Qulnn Of Illinois and others was to demoralize the con vention and control more than one-third of the delegates and in hope that In aheer desperation It would make him the candidate at St. Louis. He failed, and now Missouri democrats want to re ward him for th way he has demor alised the party. , "I have been a member of tho county central committee here for about 'twelve years and whew we want to push a lo cal democratic candidate we never men. lion that he Is a Bryan man. All the republicans of Nebraska, and at least one-fourth of the democrats of Nebraska never have been Bryan men. Why do Missouri democrats want to humiliate the party by bringing on a- more crushing defeat than wc have ever had? The insurance and trust investigation have proved that Judge Pa:er was right and honest and Bryan wrong, enau we, as democrats, reward the wrong and punish those that were right? The plain fact is Bryan's abuse of Judge Parker when he hired halls In Omaha, Chicago and New York and lits claim that Judge Parker was tha candidate of the trunts 'caused the democratic party to lose a half million votes at the polls and caused Missouri -to go into the re publican column, where it win stay if Taft is nominated by the republicans and Bryan by the democrats.

Kelly of th Independent Sioux City Tribune, .an old dyed-ln-th. wool gold democrat whp supported Parker In 1904, has expressed my sentiments about Bryan as much as I hate to have them go on record. Mr. Kelly, said to me recently 'Ther is no hope for Bryan. He Is Im possible.
