CARRYING UP THE CASE

The Fiume question is reported settled. Yes, we've heard some
thing like that in regard to the marriage question, the divorce ques
tion, and the prohibition question, too. WieJiita Eagle.

President Wilson paid no more heed to Mr. Bryan's recent ad-l it absolutely impossible to pay the indemnity demanded by the Allies
-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
It was indicated at the rate hearing before the interstate com
merce agent in Reno, wherein the question of intrastate rulings is
involved, that should the examiner, or the commission, turn down
the contention of the Nevada commission, that it has a right to reg
ulate the rates charged by carriers within the state, that the question
will be taken to the supreme court of the United States. This is as
it should be.
If the constitutional provisions granted this state along with
other states in the Union is to be dominated and usurped by an ap
pointive commission, then it is time to learn this fact. If state con
stitutional rights as granted by the adopted and approved constitu
tion are mere scraps of paper this fact should be made public knowl
edge at'onoe.
The Nevada commission has not attempted anything outside the.
province of the constitution granted this state. If that important
d" 'r'-nt is of no import, and the rulings of its commission on public
cs i;;al and without effect, then the constitutional provisions
vice than if Mr. Bryan was still in the cabinet. Chicago Daily News
The shipping board, it is testified, paid a bill for $623,000 twice.
Yet the board is criticised for its lack of thoroughness. New York
Evening Post.
The man who looks for a long period of business depression is
quite as foolish as the one who thought war-profits could last for
ever. Baltimore American.
The great heart of America can not escape the obligation to pro
vide Europe with coal not while Europe offers four times what it
is worth. Richmond News-Leader.
We are buoyed up by the statement that the profiteers, some

There has been a concerted movement on the part of the great
carriers and other interstate utilities to take state powers and rights
from the individual commissions and settle them in the hands of an
appointed commission. The moneyed powers, through organization,
have nearly accomplished such a program, while the individual states
have through lack of public spirit and organization allowed such a
condition to materialize.
The people realize that the great common carriers have their
rights and have not disputed them. Money interest must be earned
on investment made, but when the carriers or any other corporations
endeavor to upset the provisions of statehood it is time to call a halt.
The trouble has been that the public has believed that state com
missions are mere expenses, matters of political preferences and posi
tions. The people have not given thought to what corporate inter
ests will do without a cheek in their way. The corporations are no
different than the individual ; they will both take all they can get and
reach for more. It is to stop the reach, and trim the grab, that the
public service commissions have to deal with.
Nevada has been subject to the highest freight rates in the
Union. The obnoxious back-haul charge is still a tax and burden on
, the people. It has been eliminated to a certain extent through the
action of the public service commission, yet there is enough of this
great larceny still practiced to keep this state in the background and
hinder any great development. It has been a tight for the past forty
years and the tithe paid to the railroads in back-haul alone would
have built principalities in every valley in this state. The back-haul
freight, if applied to reclamation alone would have reservoired every
stream from border to border, and the revenues to the rail systems
would today more than offset this back-haul exaction.
While it is hoped that the interstate commission will see the
reasonableness of the charges made , by the Nevada public service
' commission, and concur in their findings, yet, the people have little
to fix their hope and expectations on, as the treatment in the past
has been so shameful that little faith is likely to follow. The ap
pointive federal commission may have the hardihood to rule against
the great corporations, but the doubt remains.
The decision of the Nevada commission to go to the top with the
. question should meet the approval of a commonwealth which has
paid more than its bounty to the corporations that would exact more
from the people.

The movement for nation-wide enforcement of a Sabbatarian
Sunday, with a twentieth amendment in the offing, has suddenly as
sumed sensational proportions. It is, and is everywhere recognized
as being, the legitimate offspring of the eighteenth amendment.
There is every reason to expect that it will be backed by much the
same forces and promoted by much the same methods.
Just now the most interesting question in the case is the question
of what the leading newspapers of the country are going to do about
it. Their record in the case of the eighteenth amendment is one that
cannot be thought of without a feeling of humiliation. We do not
refer to the case of ardent advocates of the prohibition amendment
if indeed there were such advocates among our leading newspapers.
What we have in mind is the attitude of most of them. In the face
of a proposed change in our institutions that violated the most funda
mental principles of sound government in general, and which in par
ticular destroyed the control of our states over the regulation of the
daily lives of their citizens, nearly all the papers that ought to have
been leaders of public, opinion adopted an attitude either of feeble
advocacy, feeble neutrality or feeble opposition.
The New York World was the one conspicuous exception, so far
as tt-o i.-now. The World maintained from first to last a stout and
ma: '; oprition ; had other papers of like influence done the same
the result might have been very different. The first reaction of the
newspapers to this present agitation is perhaps satisfactory enough ;
the question is whether, if the thing gathers formidable momentum,
they will make a stout fight, or, as in the case of the eighteenth
amendment, be content to sail with the wind. Weekly Review.

RECOGNITION OF WORTH
The naming of President Wilson' as the recipient of the Nobel
prize, the greatest public honor given living men, will undoubtedly
be a thorne in the side of those who have belittled his efforts. This
great prize of recognition was given the American president for his
efforts in bringing about a world's peace. It was not given on ac
count of academic relations nor offered through the fact that he was
America's president.
While the award comes from abroad, where his great work
stood the acid test, the American solons, not statesmen, have belittled
his every effort for the furtherance of peace or prosperity. It was
not through lack of knowledge of worth on their part, but through
absolute political jealousy. It was feared that the limelight of fame
might reflect past them that has incited the resentment of the petty
obstructionists.
One generally has to go away from home to find appreciation
and the fact is strongly borne out in the action of the placement of
the Nobel prize on President Wilson.
While the jaundiced politicians were working overtime to be
little the efforts of President Wilson, the world's thinkers met and
honored him, the third in America to receive such signal recognition.
A large per cent of the American people will appreciate this
honor, but the thorne will rankle still in the side of many of those
whose partisanship has blinded their sense of fairness.
