When the European doctor spoke of E. H. Harrlman as a starved man he probably did not mean that the pa tient had not eaten enough, bit father that he had not assimilated enough. Certain types of men easily permit un wise nerve, habits to suspend diges tion, , It may be over-excitement or Over-congestion of the brain centers, work prolonged beyond reasonable limit, effort at the wrong time, stag nant air or ill-selected food. Mr. Harrlman belongs to the easily starved class. He works under ten sion. Neurologtsts say that the most fatiguing nerve work consists of rap Idly transferring concentrated atten tion from one subject to another. Ex actly that is the Harrlman habit. His secretary says that his quickness in dealing with figures la as phenomenal as his ability to keep a great many things In his head at once. - Of course, no man can have more than one thing In his head at. the same Instant, but a capable man can acquire a habit of extremely rapid oscillation that seems like Instantaneousness. No doubt Harrlman has that ability even be yond the limit of average clever men. New York evidently does not like J the look of the Harrlman case. It Is a trouble of the sort from wbleh men often quickly recuperate. It is also of the sort which kills quickly or leads to a hopeless breakdown. New York business men are probably not In possession of any direct Information from the Harrlman physicians, but there are' a hundred neurologists who know the published symptoms. i In fact, every physician has a general knowledge of auto-toxins produced by the causes obvious in. the Harrlman instance. New York is apprehensive and thinks that it knows something more than the public knows. ; Yet fl. H. Harrlman is Just the.. man to emerge in working health. It is a case of legitimate public interest. Army and Havy. ' Economies in department expendi tures at Washington erfl accredit to the administration. Secretary Nagel has performed' a particularly useful act in arranging to reduce the ex penses of the census, a field in which carelessness in spending money and expensive favoritism in personnel have heretofore been considered necessary parts of the undertaking. President Taft's reported intention to reduce the size of the army will not strike the country as so obviously de sirable. Nor wAl the readiness he dis played before about cutting down, na val appropriations. Any practical economies are right enough, but sav ings which lower the efficiency or suf ficiency of the ships do not, comport with a great nation. We have never in our existence a a nation been fully prepared for a war. Yet with the war customs of China we talk with the highly charged belligerence of ' th kaiser. Mr. Tart is a prudent statesman, not. oei to be affected by the irre sponsible sentimentality of one class nor the provocative thoughtlessness 61 another. He may see his way now through the difficulties of Increasing demands of government and a deficit caused by temporarily short reve nues. But he la not likely to risk a weakened army and navy on the sup position that no hostilities are within the range or probability. The military resources or the coun try, especially from a police and coast guard standpoint, have been strength ened by better organisation of the militia, but that, so far. Is rather a hope than a reliance. Trained regu lars are and must continue for some time to be the dependeac of a mili tary power. :.' I '.; y : Beg-ulation, and lax Power: Judge Parker's paper on the. cor poration tax finds Its antidote In the address of the president of the Amer ican Bar association. Even before the association's annual meeting the com mon sense or the nation had perceived Judge ' Parker's weak points. : One need not be a great lawyer to reach the thought that If the people ;wlth one accord choose ' radically ' to alter their ways of doing business they will alter th laws to protect the rights of th different parties In current busi ness affairs. It Is well to treat the constitution with respect, even with a reverence beyond the Implication of. Its spirit and letter, bat the schoolboy knows that when Washington died neither his followers nor his critics had an inkling of a railroad or dreamed of a tim when the breakfast on th Po tomac would b furnished forth with fruit from California, bacon from Iowa, fresh chops from. Chicago and new-laid egga from Texas. They were not meditating on trafflo by means of which they would buy shoes made in Boston, from leather tanned in Phil adelphia, from hides salted in Chi cago,' from cattle grown In Idaho. There was no notion that cities in the midst of the Louisiana purchase would grow or decay according to a 10-cent difference of rates ordered at a conference in New York. School teachers In New Jersey were not ex pected to spend their vacations at ex positions la 8attle. ir the people insist on making In terstate commerce out or nearly every kind of transaction except the small est retail purchase, the people must have an extension or state laws to pro vide a Jurisdiction. It Is not a party question except In artificial dialectics. When the time came for an Interstate commerce law, and the . time came long before action was taken, the de mand was led more emphatically by the democrat. Judge Reagan, thaa by the republican, 8enator Cullom. Judge Parker hold It almost trea son because Mr. Roosevelt and Mf. Taft have entertained a design to strengthen federal control of corpora tion at th expense of state Jurisdic tions, confessedly weak, conflicting and Inept. Mr. Lehmann's position la that corporations tend to eliminate competition and will dominate at will every industry unless regulated under federal law. Laying aside the history and precedents of corporation law, the popular theory agrees with the popu lar practice of moving across state line whenever there is any reason, whether It Is adding to a business or taking a son-in-law into the family. Nobody wishes to wipe out state lines or weaken useful local regulation, but when the plain people themselves mix their business in the state they will Insist that the status be recognised and. the activities regulated under the law. Far-Beaching. The ruling of the United States cir cuit court In favor of the railroads In. the Missouri river through rate cases, practically denying the Interstate Commercf commission power to regu late such through rates, would be far reaching if it were the last word. The questions in controversy, however, are so Important and the interests' in volved so great that the issue will not be considered closed, but will surely go up to the supreme court for final adjudication. As Omaha Jobbing houses are parties to the suit our peo ple will follow the proceedings with the hope Jhat they will eventually work out so as to give Missouri river shipping points the through rates to which they are entitled and remove the discrimination by which the Mis sissippi river points have so far had the advantage. Notwithstanding the adverse de cision of the circuit court, the position of the Missouri river shippers is by no means devoid of encouragement.' Th tentative order of the Interstate Commerce commission in response to their appeal put the railroads on the defensive, aad even now In the de cision Just handed down the court is divided, one of the three Judges enter ing a vigorous dissent. The dissent ing opinion holds that granting the In junction asked for by the railroads would so limit the powers or the Inter state Commerce commission as to pre vent the effective exercise of the rate regulating authority conferred on It by congress, and that if the commis sion be denied power to enforce the reduction of through rates as proposed it woe id be relegated into a position of a merely supervisory body without any right which the railroads would be bound to respect Through railroad rates In this coun try have been gradually built p on the system of basing points - deter mined by geographical conditions, and water and other competition. These conditions are changing, and the order sought from the Interstate Commerce commission was in recognition of these changed conditions. As the country Is built up the railroads will have to accommodate themselves to the loglo of events and the readjust ment of rates will have to come. If not In one way, then in another. H he is a candidate on the square, why should any democrat nominated for supreme Judge be ashamed to' have his name appear of record in any case in which he is retained Just because the suit seeks to nullify a law enacted by the late democratic legislature? It goea without saying that if he did not consider his client's case meritori ous no honorable lawyer would accept a retainer in it. Jn the difference of opinion between the Interstate Commerce commission and the circuit court we go to the cu- preme court and do it all over again. J sometimes the necessary duty of re forming the corporations, seems te In volve a lot of needless trouble. But here's to the president and the ex president " Chicago counts lta population at 2,500,000, and Governor Glenn shouts that the sins of Chicago are crying aloud to the heavens. North Carolina has about 1,800,000 population .and its sins are about the average. Gov ernor Glenn might stay on the lid at home. He would at least hear of a killing or two on the French Broad. Referring to one of those psychic editorials in the World-Herald, the New York Times declares: This Is mqjistrous (In writing, but rubbish. No wonder the World-Herald takes two columns of double-shotted sky scraping on the editorial page for re buttal. Secretary Wilson predicts that pure food will be .provided everywhere in a short time. And. to think that, th founders of the country ate germs by the spoonful and never had a label on the whisky for the morning toiRly. It's hard to realise how they did it and survived. Can you see the baggagemen paying railroad fare for the privilege of shak ing trunk checks in the faces of pas sengers before they arrive at their des tination T If the mountain can't go to Mahomet, Mahomet will have to go to the mountain. The nonpartisan democrats ask a rehearing on the decision of the su preme court declaring th so-called nonpartisan Judiciary act unconstitu tional, and set up several nonpartisan technicalities in support of their mo tion.. The ruling of th United State circuit court against the claims of the Missouri river as a basing point suggests that certain people will do well to Interest themselves ' a little more In the waterways movement And now the validity of the law en acted by our lata democratic legisla ture to make more places for demo cratic ple-bltera by creating a new State Board of Health appointed by the governor is to be contested.

ANOTHER 'TTlTLLIFIEEt." Fremont Herald (dem.): Th Llneoln News utter the statement that some of th leading democrats In Lincoln hav not been slow to express tlfelr chagrin over th action of John J. Sullivan in accepting employment to make a legal attack upon the new Nebraska law whloh provides for an annual tax upon corporations. If Judge Sullivan has faired himself out' to a bunch of corporation man to tear down th law built up by a democratic legislature, w fear that It la not calculated to Improve his chances of election. - Stanton Pteket: Judge Sullivan la te file a suit to attack the constitutionality of th occupation tax which was provided for In a law enacted last winter. Un der this tax every corporation doing buet neea in Nebraska has to pay th secretary of stat a stated sum annually. So far there ha been collected about $30,000, though at leant 6,600 of th corporation listed with the secretary hav not paid. When tbo bill was pending In th legisla ture it was believed by its adherents that It would raise about 8300.008 annually. It ha been found, however, that at least 1,000 of the corporations which hav their articles on file, hav gone out of business in this stat. Fremont Tribune: Judg J. 3. Sullivan, candidate for Justice of the supreme court on th, democratic ticket, has been em ployed to attack th corporation-tax law naoted at th last session of th legisla ture. Evidently feeling th ; mbarras mnt of . standing as a candidal on his party ticket - while thus undertaking , to nullify about th pnly remaining law of importance placed on th . book of his party, he sought to cover his blushes by Indulgence In a bit of pleasantry. He said "ther are only two law passed by the laat legislature not yet declared un constitutional. These are th corporation tax law and th nine-foot bed-aheet law. I therefor had only two from which to elect to make attack and I ohos th corporation-tax law." In this facetious ref erence th judg brought a keen indict ment agatnat bis party. In It he gav emphasis to th objectionable record of th legislature which. In Its effort to ma nipulate th law so as to leave no spoils In any but democrat hands, bung-led nearly all Its work. Also It will b observed that Judg Sullivan appear In behalf of th corporations.- Whatever gonlu he pos sesses In th law is at their sarric. That they feel kindly toward him 1 evident, and has been for years. It Is probable that In th campaign now on he will be heralded a a Simon-pur progressive and antl-monop, so let us ebaerv aom things In passing Washington Life hori ahetehe of aeUa aad Bvt sods that Mark th Pi og res of Brents at th BTatKmal Capital On of the doubting grub sharks in the government service reports from praotloal tests that rat poisons advertised to do wonderful things to rodent do not sis up to th claims on th label.

In the petition filed to support th selxur of desslcated eggs, the government sets up that th analysis of dried eggs disclosed that they wer "In a filthy, decomposed and putrid condition, and Unfit for human consumption." The government wilt reat Its prosecutions on th ground that any effort to adulter ate violates the pur food law. Reports readying her from Chicago to th affect that a shipment of eggs when opened, dis closed fourteen ohlcks which had been hatched while th eggs war en route, do not shake the officials In ther determina tion to Insist that eggs . must be sold In their shells and In rio other form. - "Ben" F. Daniels, who, It Is announced from Beverly, Is to be succeeded as mar shal of Arlsona, was on of th first rough riders put into office by President Roose velt, and thereby hangs a tale of how strong is the tie that binds "th Colonel" to hhr bid command of cowboys, wealthy society men, football players and gam blers. Soon after Mr. Roosevelt became president "Ben" Daniels called upon him, and after they had swapped yarns about th little affair at San Juan "Ben" emerged "to announce that he had been appointed marshal ef Arizona. He re turned to Phoenix to assume the duties of office, but before' he began some person with a long memory out In Laramie, Wyo., Inquired if this possibly could be the Dan iels who once served a term In Jail there. Investigation proved it was. Well, "th Colonel" was furious, not so much because "Ben" was supposed one upon a time to hav annexed some on else's bronco, but because when he asked "Ben" If he had ever been in hny very serious trouble "Ben" said no. "Ben" did not get the marshalshlp, but a year or two later, when President Roosevelt was trav. eling out West, Major Llewellyn, formerly or the rough riders, told him that "Ben was broken heartedly dealing faro bank In Arlsona. . This touched "th Cojonel's heart, and It was quietly arranged that "Ben': should be warden of th Arlsona penitentiary, to which post ha was duly appointed.
