Stat officials are frequently requir ed, to produce in Federal courts on writ of habeaa corpua persons In their custody, and who allege that they are neid in violation of the law or consti tution of the United States; and no State official haa ever thought of re sisting such process, or even object ing to the propriety thereof.

No rights have been taken from the States which 'they did not voluntarily-cede by entering the Union. Philadelphia Record. Although the Minnesota and the North Carolina railway decisions by the Supreme Court of the United Statea Involved primarily the ques tion of Federal Jurisdiction, the con-- elusions reached by the court have a much more comprehensive Import in their relation to tbe future of rail way control as well aa to the general railway outlook.

An the State laws reviewed in the decision were the product of a State rights revival, so the decision Itself is a strong reassertlon of the suprem acy of the Federal power. Nothing Mr. Koogevelt has done, or may here- so mightily to the centralisation of Federal power over rhe transporta tlon lines of the country as this opin Ion of the Supreme Court.- which means, in effect, that every enactment or a state for the regulation of rail roada within Ha own boundaries may ie enjoined by a Federal Judge and brought, to -Washington, for review. Pending the determination of-the case, every officer of the State charg ed wltat he e n f oreemen t of the law may be enjoined from th perform ance of his duties, and. aa was done In Minnesota, the chief, law. officer of the Commonwealth may be sum marily punished for going Into the State courts to compel the enforce ment of State law. It was to prevent this very thing, arid to secure obe dience to law, that some of the States felt Impelled to enact statutes pre scribing severe cumulate, penalties for the infraction of law, . That waa done as a last resort: anw how that a - m m . a ii ii 1 iiafcTT ?Mfr?r n't-r-1-" a- nm eupreme vom naa . nenare against ine cumulative penalty as a practical denial of .the equal protec tion of the laws, -the States mlght-as well submit to statutory Federal reg ulation of all . transportation Ilnea, whether within or without State boundaries, aa to be compelled to ac cept the expanded Jurisdiction of the Federal court in the field of State regulation. The States are reduced well-nigh to helplessness,' so far as the railroads are concerned, by the logical consequences of Justice Peck- ham's decision, .Washington Herald. It says that the constitution em powers the Federal courts to assume Jurisdiction In any case In wfilch complaint la. made that a State seeks to Infringe, on ersonal or property rights wttfiTHit due process of law." The Federal courta can suspend Stat laws, enjoin State officials and nullify any State proceeding whatever which deprive any complainant of a full and fair hearing in an equity court or. tend to abridge hi recog nlsed personal and property rlghta. Th Federal tribunals, In short, are open to the fullest extent to any one who feels that the State-is dealing with him harshly or unfairly, and Federal Justice stands ever ready to repair vthe defects and shortcomings of State Justice. This view complete ly1 traverse the old theory, of th State's more or less complete sover eignty in legal administration-. Tet there la .no getting away from the logic of the altuation. The fourteenth amendment a now universally con strued by th Federal courts, contains the moat rsdtcelly federalists grant In the . whole constitution. If the Federal courta en . ipaet any State legislation when It deprives 4 ciUsen. iffiliir UWI of personal and property! ; rJghfs "without . due proefc. of lawl - , g.iJd can themselves defile what ajue pro cess of law" means, their verdjtcts are the only onea which will hold Un cm. cial caees affecting ea property-,lh--teresta.
