San Francisco, Oct. 5. The Unit
ed States circuit court of appeals
here today dismissed the appeal of
the Hill and Harriman railroad lines
from, the Injunction restraining the
companies from enforcing the In
creased lumber rate in the northern
California, Oregon and Montana dis
tricts.
The increased rate, which was to
take effect November 1908 would
have meant, according to the lum
bermen, a destruction, to their busi
ness. This Is a big victory for the
northern lumber companies against
the railroad. .
The case was begun in the federal
court at Portland, Oregon, and the
lumbermen secured an injunction,
the first of the kind ever granted
since the interstate commerce act
went into effect, restraining the rail
roads from the proposed advance in
rates. r
From , this decision of the trial
court the railroads appealed, raising
arguments, which if sustained, would
have stripped the.. Interstate com
merce commission of some of its
most vital powers. The decision ren
dered today by the United States
court of appeals fully sustains the
commission In its order restraining
the proposed advance in rates and Is
regarded as a most signal victory,
not only for the lumbermen of the
Pacific northwest,, but for shippers
all over the United States.
The decision practically estab
lishes the power of the interstate
commerce commission to investigate
and restrain unwarranted increases
in rates by the railroads.

can be considered as having special sig

which he told the jurors that if they
believed that the preceding grand jury
had made a thorough- investigation in
any particular department they need not
examine further Into it. On the other

that more light should be thrown on
any department, they are at liberty to

No more drinks for women In saloons
or small restaurants. Chief of Police
GrlUmacher has been officially notified
of the passage of the ordinance forbid
ding women in salpons and prohibiting
the saleof liquor to women in restau
rants that have a floor space of less
than 400 square feet. Also no Intoxicat
ing liquors must be served in . restau
rants unless meals are served.
Officers were sent out this morning to
notify the places affected by the order,
Chief of Police Gritxmacher. however,
wrll not put the lid on today. He said
this morning that he would not begin to
enforce the ordinance right away. He
would wait until all the saloon and res-
taurant keepers should be notified of the
new order or things.
That there is going to be a good deal
of trouble over the enforcement of the
ordinance appears more than probable.
The law does not define what shall con
stitute a meal. So there is bound to be
a difference of opinion between the res
taurant keepers and the police. sut as
lonar as the crackers and cheese hold
out the former can claim that meals are'
served. If the customers refuse to eat
the "meal, so much the better for the
restaurant keeper. And the ham sand
wich can be dusted off every morning
and set out to do another day s work.
The man whose restaurant is only 19
by 20 feet is up against it temporarily,
at -least. , He iMd no show at all. If
he, serves a gis of . beor with a rib
steak, he is violating the law and sub
ject to dire penalties. But the fellow
who has an extra foot on the side of his
place, so that the length multiplied by
the breadth give a result of 400 -souare

who has only 389 square feet of floor
space it's all off with him. Fried eggs
and coffee and sinkers ror him, and his

The Democrats have their donkey and
the Republicans their elephant, but now
a third animal is about to be added to
tha political menagerie as the trade
mark of the Prohibition party.
Thomas Nast, who originated the
donkey and the elephant, was the
father of the American cartoon, and
strongly partisan. The donkey was
originated in ridicule at the time. , Dur
ing the succeeding years, however, the
emblem has been , taken up and now
la. the -ftocepted trademark and J e highly
honored ' as . such' by . friends of the
party. It Is' safe, however, for Presi
dential Nominee Chafln of the Prohibi
tion party to select a logical emblem
for the Prohibition party, and he -se
lected wisely.
Some years ago there was a saying
among the wayward college youths
which ran as follows:
"The camel can go ten days without
drinking, but who - wants to be . a
camel?"
Whether Chafln realised the humor of
the situation or not, the fact remains
that the camel has, to a certain extent.
already become emblematic of the Pro
hibition party. 1
In selecting an emblem the camel was
strongly in favor for another reason,
namely his patience. Like the Prohibi
tionists, he is a good "waiter" and Is
always ready to share the burdens of
others. Still another interesting fea
ture in which he might be compared
to the Prohibition party this year es
pecially is, to quote the slang phrase of
the street, that he has -got a hump on
nimseir." .
These are flays of strenuous advertis
ing, not only in business, cut in politics.
Never before have Political candidates
so1 systematically' advertised themselves
and- their policies as in this campaign.
It is a recognized fact that one of the
nret essentials or good advertising is
some definite .trademark or emblem
which wherv"seen will always remind
one of the advertisement Animals have
been especially popular as trademarks
and political parties are only following
a line of good advertising when they
combine to use their respective em
blems. No doubt the "ships of the desert"
would throw out their chests in pride
could they realize the honor conferred
upon them ry the prohibition party.
