’ FEDERAL COURTS AM) THE PEO- <
I*LE.
When even lawyers of high stand
ing differ as to whether or not Judge
Pritchard has exceeded his judicial
powers in his course in the Southern
Railway caseit is gross presumption on
the part of the layman to express an
opinion.
Nevertheless it is apparent to the
layman who goes over many news
papers, Democratic and Republican,
representing oil sections of the coun
try, that there is an ill-concealed
feeling in every quarter that the Fed
eral courts are all too eager to sus
tain the great corporations of the
country in their defiance of State
enactments.
It is quite probable that the re
cently enacted laws of North Caro
lina may be unfair to the railroads,
that the rate of 2*4 cents establish
ed by them, may be unprofitable. How
much better it would have been
though, if Judge Pritchard had fol
lowed the -example of the Federal
judge out west who arranged for the
law to go into practical effect, for
ninety days in order that it might
be elearly ascertained whether it
would be destructive of the earning
. capacity of the roads. He refused
to accept the railroads’ declaration-in
advance that such would lie the case.
If three months experience show's
that it is then he will be prepared
to act with the facts before him to
justify whatever course he. pursues.
If Judge Pritchard had followed
this example the unpleasant specta
cle now' before the country would
' have been avoided, and much popular
; ill feeling against Federal courts
would have been spared. It would
be a distinct loss to those courts,
' and to the nation at large, if a de
-5 cided blow was struck at the public
esteem in which they are, and should
be held. The sentiment that is be
■ iug cultivated, that too many of the
» Federal judges are only too willing
t to assist the corporations in rendering
null the State laws passed for their
regulation, must sooner or later re
-3 act on the federal courts and great
t ly diminish their usefulness and in
■ (luence. If the great mass of the
people become Impressed with such
an idea it Is inevitable that sooner
3 or later Congress will clip the wings
-of the Federal judiciary to as great
■ an extent as possible.
For many years the Federal courts
have been growing in popular good
8 will. It Is certainly to be regretted
■ that such incidents as that in North
t Carolina at this time should stir up
a tempest of feeling against them,
not only in that State, 'not only in
1 the South, but even, in a more limit
" ed degree, in other sections.
1 The railroads should he protected
in every right they have, their pro
perties should be protected from
3 spoliation, but it si far better to
* pursue the policy of the Western
p judge than the policy of Judge Prit
chard.
Time will doubtless demonstrate
8 that this is the fact.

TUBY-ABO IT IS COMITY, TOO. >
(Philadelphia Record.) •
There is a plausibility about Judge i
Pritchard's opinion in the North Car- 4
olina Rate cases .but it fails to carry
conviction. Granting that cumula
tive fines for some thousands of tick
ets sold dally at the forbidden rate ‘
would bankrupt the railroads, and
that the arrest of the ticket sellers
as fast as substitutes could be found
for those arrested for previous viola
tious of the law would result iu
blocking the operation of the roads,
these dire consequences could be f
avoided without bringing on a con
flict of jurisdiction. Suppose, in
stead of defying the law of the State
and asking a Federal Court to save
it from the consequences of such pro
scribed action, the Southern Rai-i
way, as did many other railroads of
North Carolina, had obeyed the law?
if there had been no violation the
penal clauses of the law would not
have become a menace; there would
have been no fines threatening bank
ruptcy and no arrests to threaten a
discontinuance of operation.
A penal law is not unconstitution
al because its punitive’ provisions are
severe enough to deter violation; and
that the body of the North Carolina
Rate law, exclusive of the penal
1 clause, is unconstitutional lias not
yet‘been determined. Indeed, Judge
Pritchard has no better basis for an
opinion df this point than the ex
parte statement of the complaining
' railroads. Judge McPherson in Mis
; souri did not think a prejudgmeut of
t the probable effect of a similar law
. in that State sufficient to justify him
in granting an injunction against the
local Courts and prosecuting officers;
I instead of doing so, he advised the
■ complainants who come to him for
■ equitable relief to give the statute a
, trial, so that, if the legal rate be
• ruinous and, therefore, confiscatory
' and unconstitutional, the facts might
■ be established by indubitable evi
■ dence.
All the presumptions are to he ta
“ ken in favor of the constitutionality
i of a statute duly enacted; not until
' its conflict with the fundamental law
i is positively and clearly established
: should the judicial power declare it
annulled. The writ of injunction was
s not intend for a dragnet, and to
1 restrain the executive, administra
-1 tive and judicial officers of a State
i from the performance of their sworn
J duties because of a mere doubt is
, a procedure that cannot be recon
i ciled with the sense of fairness and
- respect for orderly administrattion.
Comity is due to the States from the
1 Federal Courts as well as vice versa.
! Confusion at these Dinners.
j In his dining room Sir Joshua Rey
i nolds constantly entertained all the
best known men of his time, including
Dr. Johnson, Goldsmith, Garrick,
Burke, Sterne, Hogarth, Wilkes, Allan
* Ramsay and a score of others, who
formed the brilliant literary club of
which the great painter was the
founder. There doubtless, in the
. familiar lines of the author of “Ue
t taliation,”
, When they talked of their Raphaels, Cor
reggios and stuff,
f He shifted hts trumpet and only took
snuff.
. At these dinner parties, according to
t Malone, though the wine and the
dishes were of the best, there seemed
to be a tacit agreement that mind
should predominate over body. The
table, wo are told, though set only for
seven or eight, often hud to aecommo
-1 date double that number There was
i usually a deficiency of knives, forks
and glasses, and the guests had to
bawl for more supplies, while the host
calmly left every one to shift for him
self, though he lost not a word, if lie
could help it, of the conversation.—

The doer of room 14, primary de
partment, opened very slowly, very
contritely, and a small, anxious,
freckled face peeked in. Miss Orvis
turned from the blackboard at a smoth
ered giggle from the children and saw
the freckled face.
‘‘Come in, Hardy.” The curving line
of her pretty, sympathetic mouth
straightened with sudden determina
tion. It was the fourth time that week
that Hardy Andrews had come in
late, and even the children were
ginning to look upon it as a joke.
Discipline must be enforced, even
when the delinquent is only seven and
a half. Miss Orvis left the blackboard
with “I see a bird” half finished and
stepped forward to meet Hardy.
He was smiling comfortably in his
half shy, half roguish way and flirting
openly with Marguerite Maguire in the
front seat.
* ‘‘Hardy, you are late again.”
“Yesfjum," said Hardy happily.
“It’s the fourth time this week, Har
dy. Have you any excuse?”
“No’m.” Hardy rubbed one shoe
over the toe of the other and tried
to Jam his stockinet cap into his side
trousers pocket.
“Why didn't your mother write one
for you ?” ,
It was so still iu the large, sunny
schoolroom you could hear the clock
tick high up ou the wall and the buzz
ing of the fiies over near the open win
dow where the rows of geraniums
stood, hut slowly the color lpouuted
in Hardy’s little, thin, freckled face,
and after a minute he looked up at
Miss Orvis, his big blue eyes filled
with a half apologetic bewilderment.
“I never had any mother.” The si
lence was worse than ever. Miss Orvis
caught her breath and looked at the
rest of the children to see what hor
rible effect the announcement had
made on them, but they were only in
terested and joyous over the diversion.
Hardy caught the look and hastened
to cover his mistake.
“But I got~a father, Miss Orvis, all
right. I’m Reddy Lane’s kid, and Red
dy’s a watchman over on the bridge at
night, and lie don’t get home till most
10 o’clock in tile morning, and that’s
why I’m late, ’cause I like to have
breakfast with him.”
Miss Orvis hesitated, but the blue
eyes pleadedwell their cause, and she
smiled as she laid one hand on Reddy
Lane’s kid’s head.
But somehow all the morning she
caught herself musing on Ihe child
who had no mother, ft was a tragedy,
of course—some stormy, tear swept
page of life from the great city’s un
derworld and only this bit of wreckage
left to tell tlie story. Tears welled to
her own lashes once or twice as she
Watched Hardy’s small, eager face, so
trusting and foolishly happy when he
had nothing in the whole world to be
happy for except the mere fact that he
was alive.
As the. lines were forming at noon
she touched Hardy on the shoulder and
told him to wait a minute at her desk,
and the little fellow obeyed, watching
the rest of the boys proudly from his
post on teacher’s chair. And when all
was still in the great building Miss
Orvis came back and took him on her
lap.
“Your papa’s a watchman, you say,
dear, over on the bridge?” she began,
but Hardy interposed hastily.
“Oh, no, not my father—that’s Red
dy. I never had any father. I’m a
foundling kid, Reddy says, and his
mother rented me, and then she died,
%nd Reddy adopted me-his own self, so
now I’m his kid.”
“Oh, I see.” Miss Orvis leaned back
in her chair and gazed at the cheerful
little face. “And you and Reddy live
ou Cherry street?"
“Yessum. We got a room with the
Battersons, a whole room of our own,
just for Reddy and me. And the Bat
tersons have only got one room left for
their own selves, and there’s six of
’em.”
"You don’t- say so.” Miss Orvis
caught the lonesome little figure close
in her arms. “Is—is Reddy good to
you?”
“You bet he is,” came the smothered
gasp from her shoulder. “He never
hits me, and he takes me out on the
big bridge with him nights und lets
me see the lights on the river and the
boats and the trains and everything.
He’s fine to me. When I said you
scolded me 'cause I was late, lie said
it was a '— shame.”
There was a sudden noise at the door
behind them, n queer hasty noise, half
n cough, half a choked explosion of
laughter, and Miss Orvis stood up
quickly.
“Hello, Red! This is teacher.”
It was the ouly introduction they
ever had, those two, and neither ever
forgot the moment. Flushing to the
curls of her soft dark hair, Pauline
Orvis saw before her Reddy Lane of
Cherry street. He was tall and broad
shouldered, this watchman on the big
bridge, blue eyed, with keen, unswerv
ing gaze, strong jawed, with a mouth
close lipped and short fair hair that
curled crisply back from his young,
resolute face. In his navy blue sweat
er he looked like a college boy, but
the hands that held his cap were the
hands of the toiler.
“I just run around after the kid
there,” he explained, lowering his voice
as if he were In a sanctuary. “He’s
always home as soon as the rest, and
I’m worried when he don’t show up.

Cot:on Avenue, Americas, Ga,
They don’t leave enough of a little
chap like that to shovel up after a
street car fender rolls him under, and
I get fussy when he don’t hustle In.
I didn’t know you’d kept him. What’s
the row?”
“Why, nothlug, nothing at all,” Miss
Orvis said hurriedly. Just why she
should be excited or confused over a
caller from Cherry street she could
not have fold' herself, but the steady,
anxious, admiring gaze of Reddy's blue
eyes was disturbing lier customary
tranquillity and dignity. “I was only
having a quiet little .chat with Hardy.
I wondered why he was late so often.”
“It’s my fault,” protested Reddy has
tily. “Yon see, ma’am. I'm iip nil
night on the bridge, and I don’t get
home till about 0, and the kid here
likes to eat with me. The Battersons
never give him anything, and it's up
to me to see that he gets his feed
And I don't want him to go to school
hungry.”
“No, Indeed,” said Miss Orvis" em
phatically. Then she hesitated. Har
dy had rambled over to the colored
charts and was busy. She lowered her
voice as she asked, “Hasn't he any
one at all—l mean any one of ids own
people?”
“No, ma’am,” Reddy answered ear
nestly. “My mother got him out of the
foundlings when he was about two
months old. They' lets the kids out up
there, you know, two-fifty a week, and
the old lady thinks maybe it would be
company for her with me away nights.
His father took a tumble off a ferry
boat, and just as she was leaving
Hardy up at the foundlings ills moth
er flopped all to once and died too. So
I took him when my mother died last
winter, and the two of us lias bach
elors’ hall over on Cherry street.”
“It was very kind of you.” Miss
Orvis tried, to say more, but the words
would not come. It was all so brief,
so simple and awful, this little tragedy
of the very poor man.
“I haven’t been sorry I did it.
There’s always enough for him. and
I’d like to give him a chance. lie’s
thoroughbred all right.”
“Perhaps I can help, too,” said Miss
Orvis hesitatingly, half shyly. “I’d
like to ever so much.”
Reddy’s clear, anxious eyes looked
at her longingly. In her trim, girlish
way, with the glamour of another world
about her, a world apart from the
“bridge” and Cherry street, she seemed
to typify all lie wanted his little thor
oughbred to attain.
“I could take him with me over to
tlie settlement,” she went on, “any
evening or afternoon perhaps,” with a
swift uplift of her long lashes at him.
“Perhaps you might like it, too, Mr.
Lane?”
Like it? Reddy walked on tiptoe all
the way downstairs, hi 3 eyes still full
of a wonder like those of a dream
haunted child, and Hardy had to dodge
the trolleys himself at tlie Bowery
crossing.
The next night as Pauline Orvis went
up the steps of the Endeavor settle
ment she found the two already there,
waiting patiently. And as she laid her
hand in the warm, strong grip of
Reddy Lane she felt as though fate
had laid a trap for love, with sym
pathy as snare.
And after that night a queer thing
happened to the teacher in— room 14.
Every morning as she stood at the
head of the stairs, with tlie two lines
of small boys passing her, ail at once
the color would rise in her cheeks as
nardy drew near, for not a single
morning passed that he did not bear
a love offering of fresh violets. He
confided to her tlie very first morning
where they came from.
“Red gets them from an old man on
tlie bridge every morning fresh. He
says they look like you.”
One night toward the end of June
they stood out on the stone balcony of
the settlement house, looking down on
the crowds passing below, along the
highway of push carts. Miss Orvis was
pleading the cause of Hardy.
“Let me take him with me for the
summer,” she begged. “It has done
- him so much good, being with me”—
“Some one else, too,” murmmsed Red
dy, but she went on:
“I am going to the mountains, and
he would be so much company for me.
Besides, it will give you time to study
if—that is, if”—she hesitated and
bent farther away from him over the
broad, low parapet—“if you really in
tend tflkiug the civil engineering
course’’—
“You know what I intend doing,” he
interrupted. “You know just as we!!
as I do what you’ve done for the lltjle
chap and me. Os course *he can go
with you. I suppose I may run up
now and,then just to see how he’s get
ting on.”
“Oh, of course.” Her voice was low
and without invitation.
“And if I pass and get the garrison
appointment tills fall, why, it’s you
that’s to blame.”
“Blame?” The word left her startled
and vaguely frightened.
, “That’s what I said. You’ve taken
and encouraged me the same as you
have the boy and made both of us love
you to death. Oh, you know it’s so
all right. And if I do win out and
make something of myself it’s you
that made me try and feel it was
worth while. Before I was only think
ing of the boy and working for him,
but now”—
“Yes?” He could hardly catch her
, whisper, but his hand suddenly crush
ed over hers as it lay lightly beside
him.
“Now it’s for you and me. Can 1
come if I win the appointment?”
Down in tlie street below some one
was playing ou a harp, while a ring
of children danced and sang the chorus
of a popular song. The words floated
up to the shadowy balcony:
“Life Is so short that when we die
’Tls time enough to say gooilby.”
She turned her face to his.
“Come anyway,” she said.
