The Supreme Court of the United State said: "These acts (that is, the Pacific Railroad Acts) pro that these two railroads (Central Pacific Railroad Company and Union Pacific Railroad Company)" should be opecated as one continuous line, and that neither should discriminate in favor e(, or, agaiajt i . , ,T, the other ed ... "The Central Pacific, with its eastern connection at Ogden, forms one great system of. trafilcprta. tion between the ea.t and the west, and the Southern Pacific with ijs roads anlconnectoas an ftoajn, boat lines, forms another great transcontinental system for transportation from coast to coast . . ." . There is RCArcelv a eitv. town or village that has not among its population one or more persons, mentally below Dtcr. but given absolute liberty in the community. Oh, he is harmless," is the ordinary way of referring to this kind of person, but the question to be considered is, tow lontf will he continue to be harmless? i Time and again these creatures, for years supposed to be harmless, have committed the most atrocious of crimes, cludinf jaurder, attacks upon women, etc. They are apprehended, perhaps pronounced Insane and held in some institu tion for a time and then liberated ; or sent to a penal institution to serve a term for the crime, then set free again to be come a constant menace to the communities where they are : "... These two great systems are normally competitive for the carrying trade is some parts from the east and middle west to the coast, and for the traffic moving to and from central and northern Caltraffic, which lands on the coast destined across the ifornia, including a great volume of ocean-borcontinent to the Atlantic seaboard and intermediate western and eastern points, or is destined from the latter points to foreign ports Tia San Francisco or other Pacific coast points," n J "The proof is ample that the policy of jthe Southern Pacific system has been to favor transportation on its lines by securing for itself, whenever practicable, the carriage of freight which would normally more eastward or westward over the shorter line of the Central Pacific Railroad and its connections, for ita own much, longer and wholly owned southern ronte. This course was limited by an arbitrary rule during the time the Union Pacific dominated the Southern Pacific from the stock purchase In 1901 until the 'unmerger' in 1913, as a result of the decision of this court in the Union Pacific case.

A smaH provocation, an imagined insult, any imaginary grievance, may transform them into criminals far worse, because more recklesdy brutal than those criminals who have full possession of their mental faculties. . ; Obviously; the proper thing to do is to place these persona where they can do no harm, and until this is done, the countrlrequenUy will be shocked by neinous ana aDnormai crimes, and there iTnobne In thrrfcinity of these morons who is really safe from their attacks.
