Are Handed Down.
WBHINGTOX (Feb. 21. In more than
Bn declHlotiB the Supreme Court today de
clared many state laws were unconstitu
tional, upheld more state laws and save
the Federal statutes final Interpretation.
"Minnesota won a special victory over
the Great Northern Railway Company
end over the Chicago Great "Western
Railroads, both of which had resisted the
state's attempt to levy a 4 per cent gross
earning tax.
South Carolina likewise won a victory
over railroads, when the court adopted
the view of the Supreme Court of South
Carolina that the law requiring railroads
to pay a penalty of ?50, for failure to
adjust within 90 days claims for losses
applied only to intra-state traffic.
Kansas came out victorious in its fight
with the Mitsouri Pacific for the installa
tion of separate passenger trains on a
branch road from ladteon, Kan., to the
Kansas-Missouri state line. It was in this
case that the court announced the- doc
trine that even if this passenger train
were operated at a loss, the railroad
was under a duty to perform such serv
ice as long as It retained its charter.
Alabama's statute levying an annual
franchise tax on foreign corporations
was declared unconstitutional. Kail-roads-
brought the case to tha Supreme
Court.
Georgia lost in most of Its conten
tions in the attempt, despite charter
exemptions, to levy property and fran
chise taxes.
On the authority of cases cited, the
Supreme Court reversed the Judgment
of the lower courts In dismissing the
suit brought In the Federal Court by
the "Western Union Telegraph Company
to prevent the enforcement by the Ar
kansas officials of the state Incorpora
tion act of 1907.
POEMS BY HEINRICH HEINE
Two Hitherto Unpublished Transla
tions From the German.
Philadelphia Record.
L Heinrich Heine was born at DukbpI
dorf, Germany, December 13, 1799.
Some of his poems are as pure and per
fect as the finest crystals, and are
undying:, and the immortality of these
will leaven with their Imperishable es
sence the whole mass of his writings.
But Heine was not a poet alone; as a
wit and humorist, his sayin&a and
opinions have a charm unrivaled In the
history of literature.
, The following- two poems will give
Knprlish readers a fair example of
Heine's manner when in his lighter
moods. These translations have never
before appeared In print:

This poem, despite the charm of the
Versification, is wholly cynical, but the
verses which follow, though as light In
tone, are much more tender in senti

"They're trying to "Tammanlze the

howling for direct primaries down here.
Maybe It might Interfere with the busi
ness of auctioneering.
"Now, I'm for direct primaries all
over the state, and what's more, I'll
ay that the up-state Democrats are
behind Governor Hughes In that wish."
There Is the greatest reluctance
among the Connors forces -to discuss

CLERGY LOSES PAY
French Annuities to Cures Are
Terminated.
MANY IN DIRE STRAITS
Present Deficiency May Cause Fail
ure to Maintain Worship In Towns
Where Support Has Come
Chiefly From the State.
PARIS, Feb. 6. (Special.) After the
separation of the churches from the
state It was; provided that, in order to
prevent the suspension of public wor
ship In any parish and In order to miti
gate the severity of the separation for
the clergy, those cures who were over
45 years of age and had seen 20 years'
service should receive a pension for
life equal to half of their actual emolu
ments at the date of the separation.
The younger clergy received an an
nuity for four years, beginning from
the year 1906 with $180, and diminish
ing year by year until it amounted to
only $60 In the year 1909, at the close
of which the annuity expired.
Clergyme:a Iose Income.
At the beginning of the present year
the Roman Catholic Church in France
thus finds a large section of its clergy,
whose income from the state had al
ready been reduced to the vanishing
point, entirely deprived of support from
that quarter. Taking the basis of the
last year's annuity alone, It appears
that the total amount of the Income of
which the Roman Catholic Church is
thus deprived is some $1,600,000. How
is this deficiency being met. or will the
deficiency result In a failure to main
tain public worship or the offices of
the Catholic Church in any part of
France?
Already during the process of dimi
nution of the state annuities, the
church. In order to maintain public
worship and to meet all incidental ex
penses, had organized a system of
voluntary contributions In each parish,
which are known as denier du culte.
Both the church and the state are reti
cent about this organization the
church because it knows that, strictly
speakings the organization Is probably
illegal, and the state because its in
formation, at which It connives, is
necessarily imperfect.
Ijoss Is Winked At,
"When the state at the time of the
separation offered the church the ex
pedient of organizing associations des
cultes, which the church, by the de
cision of the Pope, rejected, it took
care to enact that. If the church did not
elect to secure Its former revenues by
this method, it should not be allowed
to establish any other form of associa
tions which the law did not recognize.
The connivance of the state at the
present arrangement Is facilitated by
the form which the church . has given
to the organization of the denier du
culte. The money is contributed by an
informal parochial association through
the cure to the bishop of the diocese.
Both the local association and the dioce
san committee of management over
which the bishop presides try to evade
the letter of the law affecting such asso
ciations by refraining from constituting
themselves Into a deliberative assembly.
It la well known that the clergy la
France are accustomed to live on very
modest incomes, and that many thou
sands of them would consider themselves
"passing rich on $200 a year." With such
modest pretensions they must neverthe
less have been subjected to great hard
ships in the last few years, which will be
aggravated by the termination of tha
state annuity. Moreover, the liberality of
the faithful, has in many, though by no
means In all parishes, been far from re
markable. CAR WINDOWS SHATTERED

Salvation of Self-Satisfied.
Henry C. Merwln in Atlantic.
A distinguished preacher and author,
himself a Unitarian, remarked recently in
Our Policy in the Sale of
Neah - kah - nie Mountain
Not a word will be allowed in an advertisement that
in any way conveys a false impression. .
No salesman will be permitted to make statements that
are untrue or promises that are unauthorized.
The natural beauty of Neah-kah-nie Mountain is so
overwhelmingly superior to any other on the Oregon Coast
that it would bedifficult for any one to exaggerate it in
advertising or conversation. . .
In the illustrations that will be used in advertising
Neah-kah-nie Mountain, a feature will be observed that
has been somewhat ignored by other companies not a pic
ture will be shown, save those actually taken on the prop-,
erty or taken of it from another point.
Neah-kah-nie is picturesque. Giff ord spent two weeks
on the property, vowing that he could spend three times
as long and still not be able to exhaust the subjects at hand.
Gifford's pictures are on exhibition at our office daily.
Many of them have been enlarged and show a portion of
the Oregon coast that has been overlooked for many years.

and perhaps neither he nor those who
heard it appreciated its full significance.
However, the preacher was probably
thinking not so much of Unitarians as of
a certain kind of person often found in
this neighborhood, and not necessarily
professing any particular form of religion.
We all know the type. When a man in

Such persons are really degenerates of
