" larch) 24. Gov ernor Glenn believes the decision of the Supreme Court in the North Caro lina and ; Minnesota rate cases i is a great blow at state rights. He stands by Justice .Harlan and : his dissenting opinion whom he says made a telling arraignment of the centralized gov ernment Idea ' r "It," said the governor. "Justice H Harlan, was a younger man and a Democrat in politics, his strength po sition in this matter of state rights would have resulted n hs nomnation for the presidency by the Democratic national convention." - AAA' When asked what tie thought of the Supreme Court opinion In the cases from Minnesota and North . Carolina. Governor Glenn replied that it would be presumptious in him to criticize the option of our highest court, especially since: he thad not had tme to carefully read the decision. He said from what he had sen in the papers and from criticism ;of the opinion he was firmly cmfldent that the dissention opinion, of Justce Harlan was more n accord wth the; opinions- of the; court previ ously rendered in vthp ease of ; Fitts against McGee et als, and that .the, present opinion virtually overruled all these cases and made the . elevent ar ticle of. the, constitution pf no effect. . He further ' stated, that, sol far, as .the North Carolina; case, was concerned Jt was not. exactly similar to the Mlnne- so treated tor In the Minnesota .aU .nil tha flflM mrA rMn tt1 wlr I w -w " 1 heavier and therefore more oppressive and more inseparable, ' while in the .North Carloina case the fine to be Im posed was dimply the common law fine which 'was In the discretion of a court which wax presumed t act justly and from th 7 criminal clause as to have been declared unconstitutional without in any way effecting the constitutlon-ality-of tl;e entire act. - Again in the Minnesota case the judg below virtual ly held the rate ; fixed ' confiscatory Judge Pritehard did not so hold, but f referred the matter to the master" to hear evidence as to whether it was connscaiory or reasonaoie. xne uov emor further. . said that his present opinion of .the decision "Though it might be changed by a careful reading of the entire opinion, was 'that -here-after any railroad by appealing to a Federal district ; or circuit judge can set at naught the will of the people of r a state, as expressed by the laws Of its ' legislature without any regard what ever be the opinion of the courts of the state; That such a decision Is a verjr far-reaching'- step towards de stroying state rights and putting the . enforcement of state laws In the hands of Federal Judges. That if the Federal , court can. th us take charge-of regula tion of railroad rates, then he could see no reason why they could nqt like wise say that th laws Enacted for reg jJatlng the whiskey traffic, or con trolling child abor or other state mat ters were not also unconstitutional on account of the fines and penalties Imposed or on , acount of working ! a ? confiscation of property or ' too severely effecting property . rights.' ! : Thl decision like the acts of the national executive department, la tending to "create a stronger national and a weaker State government. Asked what effect this dissention would have on the present condition of affairs In North ' Carolina, Governor Glenn re plied: "None. The act of 1907 had been repealed by the. special ses sion of ltOS, and therefore the de cision does not effect the present law which: In many respects is different from that of -107." The present law, he said, had" been agreed to by all the railroads - In the State, except one, and therefore., it would be in bad taste for the railroads to ever at tempt to evade it, notwithstanding the , decision, and he had ho idea . they would. He was then asked what he Would do in case the railroads de cline to recognize the present law. He replied: v "I , will enforce the law Just as I did before unless -stopped by the courts. Prior, to 1907, I fa rored 2 1-2 cents rate as the proper rate for passenger fare on the rail ' roads. t. The legislature, . however, Bxed It at 2 1-4 cents. The railroads , refused to obey the law, and though the rate was lower than I favored, , I 1 , would have enforced it regardless of tosts or I difficulties. The railroads then agreed to obey the law, and the trouble ended. The suits proceeded nd evidence was taken. Afterwards the - railroads ; submitted to me a proposition which seemed Just and fair; both to the people and the rall- t roads, and rwlth two small changes I -agreed to call an extra session of the tgislatur9-: and ask it to ratify the Sgreemeifl:!niis-"--the legislature did. One . of the reason why . i agreed . to call - the Legislature together to enact new law was my fear lest I he fiifpreme Court should decide agHlnpt the State. V thought the . state ought to win and I still (think " -A. so. l did" not believe after reading the evidence that the 2 1-2 cent rate was confiscatory. and since the - rail-,-roads made their last quarterly ...re ports I know it was not, but I dread ed" lest a court that believed ; in ' cen tralization of power would affirm thc ruling of Judge Pritehard, so made the compromise that binds 'both state andv railroads If they act honorably tor , the ' present at least" . t When asked if he thought the de cision $ would , have ah political ef fect, the Governor, declared: "Yes, a most decided " effect Minnesota1 is a Republican state, North Carolina a Democratic state . In this decision Is an attempt to deal a" death blow : to state rights , The Republicans approve the decision Democrat? and r those who believe in state rights disapprove It Therefore it is a djrect appeal to the people on the vital issue of state rights ad they will line up as they approve, or oppose centralization or approve or oppose, state rights No man ought to be -allowed In congress until the people of his district know how he stands If the eleventh ar ticle of the constitution . is meaning less br overruled by article 14 of tr constitution, we should know it. It Is time to decide If inferior federal courts shall ' control state - laws and administer state affairs or whether a state is still supreme to , control Its own- affairs. - Let the- issue come. I will go to the people of North r Caro lina for state right and state control." As to Senatorshlp. - Governor Glenn and" Senator Over man were chatting together In the most friendly way, at, the governor's hotels 'tonight when encountered by this correspondent. The governor was asked during the day if he intended to become a ..candi date for the Senate to succeed Senator Overman. He said; ' . ."I have come' up. here to rest and to get away from ; politics, but Jl will say that . my position ;with regard to your fluery. is not different from what it has been all the time. I have never said . I would be. a candidate." E.;:I Travis, of 'Halifax, is here. ' Pew j Words j to The North Carolina : -0.:- -H Case. The Supreme Court devoted only a few words to the North Carolina case. Taking the ground that the writ of habeas corpus was properly issued - by Judge Pritehard, Justice E. Peckham, after; reviewing" the facts, stated the questions raised in this case was suf ficiently discussed in the' Minnesota case and for that reason require no further, attention. ' '. i, justice Harlan wrote only one dis- sentlng-opinion which he said was ap plicable alike .to : the -Minnesota'.' and the North Carolina cases.- . ' . One of Best Essays. : ' , y .

' Fighting Disease. There was a meeting this evening of the directors of the Anti-Tuberculosis Society, this meeting being held In the office ofi Dr. J. M.

Joined In this petiton. - The request sj that the , city provide rooms and assist in the purchase of medleine kher the patients are ' not able to provide1 this for. themselves, and the doctors of the city will give their services free of charge. Another matter tak:n up was in regard to the employment of a reg ular nurse, who will have charge of cases of this kind at all tim.es. There will have to be a fund provided and the city will be asked to help in this matter also. I Many Cases Contlnw. j In the Superior Court many of the important cases have been continued for the term.. "It is now thought; thav none of the cases of Mrs. Octa D. Thomas, who is suing six rnercantile firms for S5.000 each, will be tried. Certainly not more than onicof these cases will be sent to the jury. If one case Is tried, it is now. the idea that this shall be In the nature of a test case, end that all other of the cases will stand or 'fall by" the decision of this case. Today the case of Mrs. Sar ah J." Film ton against the city of pur haw, who asked for damages In the sum of $500 on account of the closing of a drain pipe that resulted In the flooding of tier home, consumed the time of the court. There are other small cases to come,-and then the court will take up either the case of Mrs. Thomas against the Trakas Co., In which she asks for damages in the sum of $5,000, or the case of T. H. Booth, of East Durham, against the Carrington Lumber Co., he asking for damages In the sume of S10.Q00, this for personal Injuries he received while at work In the plant of the company. The calling of either of these suits will be all that will be taken up ' by jthe court that Is any case of Importance. There will be several small cases tried and then "cleaning up day."

Greensboro, .1 ; .Iarch 4, There were many "I told yoi : o" citizens heard to express themselves here' to day -: upon 'reading ,of the' Supreme Court's decision L.in the rate case. But there wro also manv who, while rec ognizing the supreme - power of the United States Supreme Court Iii all matters of fhisj kind, expressed the opinion tat it rested with the people themselves !ri the final an lysis whether this latent attack uton the sovereignty of a state shall,, remain the law - or not.--. :'Ov ' i.' "-:::-t'':: --y- In this rlats was found Speaker Jus tice, one of the attornics for lb state, who argued the lease before the : - Su preme . Court. 1 Knowing that In speeches end in Interviews, he had de clared that he regarded this qoestion a pre-eminently one of State's rights and government by the people, and that lt ought: to be decided by the Su preme Court j one way, or the other In order thet the law as Jt Is now writ ten mlghr be settled,' and In order if settled arainst the the State's! rights the people might apply the prore rem- edies to chaore . the law.- this eorres pondent sought Mr. Justice thjs morn- Ing and secured the j oUoing s state ment. ana comment . on the situation, which will proved of great interest as well as valuejat this time, coming as it does from kne. thoroughly conversant with .the wio!e. subject,- and who has never yet failed to s peak out In meet ing when thej necessity for such arose, where the interests gf .th , people' were Involved. . .i.ii--H j'-i': r; m::? Mr. Justice! raid that the gravity and seriousness of this question had never been stated that while- he had not seen the opinion of the Supreme Court of the UnUed: States nor the dissenting opinion of Judge Harlan, that he felt quite sure that the decision was to the effect that the 14th amendment had abrogated and j repealed the 1 1 th amendment to -the constitution of the United States, and thf.t in cases' like this and In all other cases where the state undertook to enforce police regu lations that the state was not immune from suKs In the Federal courts bv foreigners. The! 14th amendment va-3 adopted as shield and protection to the negroes ufter the war, but the ne groes had ceased to nivoke its protec tion, and it had now become the refuge of. foreltn corporations." v'-.y":- : Mr. Justice; said he did not . rail against the Supreme Court of the United States;whlch had proceeded In an orderly w4y to arrive at what it re garded a proper construction of the 14th amendmont. and that while it was regrettable that the Court felt it self Impelled! to reach the conclusion it had in this; case; because, as Judge Harlan says "this Is an era making de cision" Yet? there was nothing to do but - to bow 1st submission - to the de cision of the! Court until the people amended the constitution of the United States. ; M'r i "For years the; tendency of the Fed eral courts has been against state con trol and government by the people. This tendencyhas verified the wisdom and - foresight; of Thomas Jefferson, who predicted that this would be the result, and If jthls Democratic form of government jfalled it . would fall be cause of the aggressions of the Federal judiciary: If j the ; inferior:' Federal judges were all as prudent and wise as some,cf them were, or If they were nof appointed for life,. but elected for a term of years, (they would probably not be so prone to disregard the' rights of the states Jand of the people. - ; If : ths. people of this country per mit the. decision Of the Supreme Court of the United States; which has Just been rendered to; remain the law, then that government -of the . people, ; by the people and for the people, for which our forefathers fought, and : of which Jefferson wrote and -Lincoln spoke, will be much weakened, ; ) "Fortunately there is a higher trib unal and an orderly way to change the law and render-the sovereign states Immune from 'suits by citizens of other states and foreign countries. The purposes ; of, the 11th amend ment to : the constitution of the United States; pught to be carried out by again amending the constitution In language so plain and unmistakable that the states wilt be absolutely im mune from , siiits by" foreigners In any court for any cause. The ' ma'n who deals wth a ' sovereign 1 s'.ato should have no further guarantee than he will be treated fairly than the honor ' and .integrity, of the state. This is all suf ficent. . Any Other principle allows the government of the people to; be thwarted and Interfered with contrary to their-. will upon the , petition of an (individual and at the will of an In rfcrlni. TTiernl! ludre who holds hi of fice by life tenure." "I sincerely hope that the - next Democratic State Convention at Char lotte will put into Its platform a plank declaring. In favor of a plank In the National . Democratic platform which will effectively protect ' the , state -from suits. "v I shall offer a resolution to this effect to . the state convention,' and I have no doubt of how the people will stand upon it. and I have no doubt of what the views of these delegates will be who are not hired representatives of - railroads and trusts. f "It behooves the people at their pri maries 7 and at their county conven tions to see to It that no delegates are sent to represent them In the state con vention who ' prefer to please ralU roads and trusts In this matter to the good of ,the -people.' J?i ;i '- ' "It the next national platform con tains a plank which renders the state Immune from suits than those, people in the western states who are as strong for states' rights as the southern peo ple, will have good reason to vote the Democratic ticket, unless the national Republican convention writes a simi lar plank into .Its platform. If the Republican convention does ; not de clare for an amendment to the consti tution of the United States that will secure to the people of this country local' self-government by rendering the states . Immuno Irom 1 suits, the ques tion of states rights will boebme an Immense issue ' in the next campaign, and the Democr ttlc party will have an immense advantsg.' "Personally," I hep- that both the Republican and Democratic " national conventions will declare for an amend ment to - the constitution ' of; the Uni ted States that will protect the states from suits by foreign citizens, for I am more, interested in toeing, a govern ment by the ' peopb not pass away than I am in seeing a political advan tage secured; to the Democratic party. .
