IS of nutlonal etllciency. If we are to halt and weaken our transportation systems by state Hues, by the perma nent Imposition of burdens by unwise regulation, we will make national etll ciency impossible." Statee' Righte Would Not Suffer. Mr. Thom cited ninny Instances In which shippers in one state were In juriously affected by selfish -regulations Imposed on the railroads by neighboring Btntcs. He pointed out that federal regulation would be no In vasion of the rights of the states but would tie the means of preserving the rights which they acquired when they entered the Union, one of which was the light to the free movement of their products across state liouudHrles. What the Railroad! Advocate. Tho principles which the railroads believe should be incorsrated In any Just system of regulation were sum marized by Mr. Thorn as follows: 1. The entire power and duty of reg. illation should be In the hands of the national government, except as to mat ters so essentially local ami Incidental that they cannot be used to Interfere with the elllclency of the service or t.ie Just rights of the curriers. 2. As one of the means of accom plishing this, a system of compulsory federal Incorporation should be adopt ed. Into which should he broimht all railroad corisiratlons engaged In Inter state or foreign commerce. 3. The Interstate Commerce Cotninls. slon under existing laws lias too much to do and Is charged with coulllcting functions, including the Investigation. prosecution and decision of cases. The latter duties should be placed In the hands of s new body which might be ailed the Federal Railroad Commis sion. Regional Commissions should be established lu different parts of the country- to assist the Interstnle Commerce Commission by handling lo cal cases. 4. The power of the Commission should bo extended lo ennble It to pre scribe minimum rales and not merely maximum rales as at present. This would Increase their power to prevent unjust discriminations. Justice to Publio and Reads. B. It should be made the duty of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in Hie exorcise of Us isuvers to 11 x rea sonable rates, to so adjust these rates that they shall la Just at unco to the public and to tho carriers. To this end the Commission, In determining rutes. should consider the necessity of main taining ellicieut transportation and ex tensions of facilities, the relation of expenses to rates and tho rights of shippers stockholders and creditors of the roads. d. The Interstate Commerce Comuils. slon should be Invested with Hie kv er to tlx the rates for carrying malls. 7. The federal government should have exclusive power lo supervise the Issue of slocks and bonds by railroad carriers engiiecd In luteislato Rtid for eign commerce. The law should recognize tlu es sential difference between things which restrain trade In the ease of onliuary mercstilile coiiivrna ami these which restrain trade In Ine rase of common carriers. Tho tpieslion of comisUllion la not the only fair criterion. P. The law should expressly provide for the meeting and agreement of traf lle or other olllcers of railroad In re sjsh'I of rates or practices. This should, however, Isa sa feguarded by requiring the agreements to Ite tiled with the Interstnle Commerce Commis sion and lo be subject to lie disapprov ed by It. "My legal proiwslllon," Mr. Tboni suld. Is that the Constitution as It now Is kIccs full authority lo Congress to regulate (be Itcdriimciilnlltlcg of In t leistaie conuuen e In all their part. If the power of regulation Is to reach tho public re.ulrcinents. It must Is co extensive with (he Instrumentalities of commerce."

THE YOUTH'S COMPANION, St. Paul St., Boston, Mass. Now subscriptions received at this office. tpetent, neTenheless th defendant Is la no position w viuim iui uv materially prejudiced by it. R. M. Morian was the first witness called by the state. On direct examination he testified about baying seen Edna receive a letter from the stage driver on the afternoon of the 8th, and up on cross examination counsel for the defendant asked this question: "Now, then, you say Edna received a letter the day before from Roy Farnain; how do you know the let ter was from Roy Farnam?" The witness answered: "Charley Hobbs said he got It out of the Farnam mail box, and it was addressed to Edna; as far as my positively knowing that Roy Farnam wrote the letter that Charley Hobbs gave her, I don't know, all I know is that she got the letter. She told the girls it was from Roy; she could not go home with the Barton girls because Roy was coming that evening." The an swer was responsive to the question, and no objection was at any time made to any part of the answer. The testimony was elicited by the de fendant himself and it was a part of the record when Mabel Barton testified afterwards. Moreover, de fendant himself Invoked the same rule when offering a letter that had been written by Edna Morgan. The answer of Mabel Barton was sub stantially tho same and not materi ally different from the testimony given by R. M. Morgan; even if the court had taken the answer of Mabel Barton from the jury, it is never theless fair to assume that the testi mony of R. M. Morgan would have remained In the record for tho rea son that it was elicited by the de fendant himself and was not object ed to at any time during the trial; and therefore the defendant could not have been prejudiced as now contended by him. It is true that the failure to object to the evidence of R. M. Morgan may not operate as a waiver of any right to object to like evidence on the part of Mabel Barton if such evidence was incom petent; but, the Indisputable fact still stands out In bold relief that go long as the testimony of R. M. Morgan remained In the record any failure to eliminate tne answer of Mabel Barton could not injure the defendant to the extent claimed by him. .

Moreover, the shot heard by Mrs. Dewey and the three pieces of lead found by Harry Wilson fur nished some evidence at least tend ing to show that the defendant did not stop with an abortion. While tho evidence is circumstantial, still It is stronger both in quantity and quality than the record made in State v. Williams, 46 Or.. 287, 80 Pac, 655, and the transcript of tes timony presented here Is In no re spect less convincing, but in many particulars is more forceful than the enso made by the prosecution In Slate v.

The court, how ever, overruled a motion to strike, on the theory that it was competent for t he state t o prove that Edna Morgan had planned to meet the de fendant and tho testimony was of fered by tho slate for that purpose.
