ha; ; ; i THE STAR—WEDNE Member of United Press THE BATTLE WON What will be recorded in the political history of the state as the most momentous battle ever waged has been won by the people. Right has triumphed over might. The people, aroused, have asserted themselves in f& manner not to be mistaken. They have sounded a warning to the political powers that prey-—a warning which should renew their own faith in the creed of Lincoln that this ggvernment is and wil? be of the people, for the people. HS : For the part that it played in this history making contest The Star is, of course, proud. Seldom does it devolve upon a newspapef to take up a cause weighted with more importance to the genefal welfare. The Star has engaged in numerous contests, aligned always on the people's side, fighting for what it believed to be the right, for what it believed would benefit the many as against the wealthy and powerful few, Often, the battles have been won, Sometimes defeat has come. But of all, the victory of yesterday stands gut alone in magnitude and in importance to The Star and to that great body of people—the ninety-five per cent for whom The Star has ever fought and for whom The Star will continue to fight. : — Express Companies, Now Outburst of Everett True Only a few months ago, for the first time in newspaper history, fn these columns was pointed out the enormous tribute that the ex press companies are levying on business.

As the staft corre. spondent of the Chicago Tribune at Washington says io one of his lecters The question of express rates has arisen practically Within a year.” Our editorial was the first gun of the campaign that has gained such headway as to have already culminated in the action of the Milinois railroad and warehouse commission in ordering reductions of from 10 to 50 per cent in express rates in that state As lately as last November the National Association of Ratlroad Commissioners, meeting at Washington, not only did not discuss the matter, but did not assign it for discussion next, November So rapidly does opinion develop in these insurgent days. The Movement will go on until the express companies balk it by polltt cal activities, or until their returns are cut down to a fair interest upon the capital actually and necessarily used in the business. That is certain.

It Is Very likely that Wm. H. Taft is to be the first president since Washington to name a majority of that court. And we know the sort of men whom Mr. Taft selected for his “official family Verily, that court is not only a matter for anxious consideration | but for public discussion, because judges are Human, and it is human | nature to be swayed by personal feeling, personal experience and personal environment. The old time popular feeling that the U. 8 supreme court fs a sacred institution, with final, unimpeachable jurisdiction over the nation’s destiny, an institution infallibie per se and to be doubted by traitors only, has about played out. The reason is that the court no longer confines itself to definition of the manifest intents of the constitution, but attempts to pass upon laws on the ground of their general expediency. And that “expediency” too often favors the in- terests of the privileged few. When even the highest court goes in for expediency, you may be sure that the majority of the people will do likewise. Question of expediency rightly presupposes public discussion and criticism. Talk about an equal show before courts or In the laws for cor porations and the masses, for the 5 per cent and the 96 per cent, for dollars and men has come to be considered as pretty much rot, and {it does not make for love of the law or for patriotism.
