ENFORCE COMMERCE LAW,
Railroad Man Says Roosevelt Should
 Have the Law Obeyed.

Los Angeles. Cal, March 2S.-Paul Nor ton, vice-president of the Santa Fe Com pany. is quoted as saying:
 ''It has been published that President Roosevelt intends to have the Interstate Commerce law enforced in all its details to the end that the act may either be amended or repealed altogether. In this intention the President has the loyal SUD- port of every railroad man of prominence. The law in its present form should be wiped off the statute books, or 50 amend ed that 1t can. be enforced. I am one of those who believe in the Interstate Commerce law, and am convinced that some act of that description of char acter has come to stay. The present law should be trimmed into shape so that the railroads of the country may observe its provisions without loss of business or other penalty"

Governor IeIks and Pike County.

All who prefer law to anarchy will be glad to hear that Governor Jelks is making a thorough investigation of the lynching frolic that occurred at Milliards Crossing in Pike County. No one need doubt that he will do his whole duty when he has all the facts in hand. He is that kind of an ex- ecutive. He has never beeen known to quail in the face of duty, and he never will
 It appears, too, that Sheriff Reeves of Pike County did not have charge of the prisoner when the mob usurped the duties of judge, sheriff and jury, setting at defiance the law and pro. claiming themselves higher than the Executive, the Legislature and the State. And all this for the sake of frolic and blood. It Is stated that Sheriff Reeves is a man that mob would avoid. The prisoner must have been in the hands of a bailiff, for he was on the road to the county jail when the mob seized him. However, the facts will be brought out by Gov ernor Jelks, and the case can be left in his hands with the assurance that whatever action Is needful for the honor of the State and the supremacy of law will be taken.

A Warehouse Trust.

A national warehouse combine is to be organized. It's legal home will be in New York, but its tentacles so to ispeak will be stretched over the United States, and particularly over the South. It proposes to erect as speed fly as possible 200 warehouses in vari- ous parts of the country, every one Of which will stand unscathed in the pres ence of fire. In the South there are to be warehouses for the storage of cotton, sugar and pig iron. The pig iron warehouse need not, it is to be presumed, be particularly fire-proof or even rain-proof, for pig iron is very hardy.
 The promoters of the trust say the intention Is to have the central office in New York in touch with chain of warehouses throughout the country managed in perfect sympathy with the most economical methods-so managed that the central institution can be made instantly responsive to any de- mand for any loans that the custom CTS of these warehouses may make. The promoters add:
 The feeling is that in the South espec- ially, and in certain parts of the West this proposition will be warmly accepted It is true that it may be pointed to as another instance of the vast power which the concentration of great capital makes possible and yet it is said here that if the people of the South and of the West can secure better storage for less money, reasonable insurance, and instantaneous banking facilities at reasonable cost they will not be apt to complain bitterly of the apparent monopolistic features of this proposition, but will in fact regard themselves as sharing in the benefits of the monopoly.
 For instance, the cotton grower of the South Is compelled to pay a rate of in- surance that makes him vince, and d rate of interest upon loans negotiated of which he often complains bitterly, and he has In addition the constant and unhappy experience of seeing his property depre- ciated anywhere from per cent to per cent by what is called technically "coun- try damage" that Is to say, depreciation arising from imperfect storage
 In addition to that, many of the cotton growers are now compelled to bale and ship their produce as soon as the pclSers have gathered it, the estimate being that within two months of the time the crop is gathered, at least 75 per cent of 1t is on the way to market whereas, if 1t were possible to store 1t at reasonable rates, the consequent depression of price that is a characteristic of the cotton market throughout the fall and early winter will pot be inevitable. In other words, the cotton grower, by means of those facil- ities. can carry his cotton until the prices are satisfactory, secure advances upon it at a reasonable rate, so that he will be in effect an indirect party in this prop osition.
 This enterprise includes such men as Stuyvesant Fish, president of the Illinois Central Railroad, and others, and it is to be launched next Monday. It remains to be seen whether the warehousing business of the United States can be concentrated in a few hands, but even this project may be feasible if the benefits are properly shared with customers. The pleasing of customers is the critical point in ,.e

How Politics Pervades the Army

1t does not matter-it is MT. Henry Wat terson.
 1T am myself a free silver man: but the Republicans have stolen our ammuni. tion on that issue and are now coining all the Ellver they can. That doesn't matter. What we want is free silver and if the Republicans give it to us, all well and good. We will not quarrel with them for the credit of it. We free silver men were fighting for the good of the country, pri- marily. Incidentally we thought we were fighting for>the good of the Democratic party but it seems that for the time be- ing we were wrong. At any rate, the Re- publicans defeated us on that one issue. and now they have taken it up in a prac- tical way. It Is all right-let us not quar- rel over 1t.

of this city. Smith was booked to
throw O'Connell three times in half an
hour. He succeeded and had nearly
six minutes to spare. When DWyer
and Comstock began their work it was
confidently expected that Comstock
who is much heavier and stronger
than Dwyer, would win handily. He
captured the first fall in trif1e over
ten minutes. Dwyer then went in and
took three falls in succession, each fall
requiring about twelve minutes work.
By winning the match Dwyer captured
the purse of 5000 and about $3.50 in gate
