RESIGNATION OF LUTz.
IT CREATED MUCH SURPRISE IN
 MONTGOMERY.
He Had Served Western Railroad IT Years and is Highly Esteemed. News of the Rail-
 roadR

The announcement in yesterdays Ad- yertiser of the resignation of R. E. Lutz as traffic manager of the Western Raii- road. came as a great surprise. not oniy to the Montgomery friends of MT. Lutz'
 but to the employees in the general of- fices of that company on rallapoosa street.
 Tn, office of trafic manager of the Western of Alabama and Atlanta and West Point Railroads, which has been held for a great number of years by MT. J.utz will, after next Friday. January lst be abolished, and the offiee of gen. oral freight agent of the roads will be created. This office will be filled by A.
 R. Smith, a son of H. F. Smith, trahc manager of the Nashville. Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad. and nephew of Pres and Nashville Railroad Company.
 No circulars had been received at the local offices of the Western yesterday,
 and as to the future not much is known. It is thought, however, that Mir. Lutz will remain with the Western in some other capacity and that the ofiices of General Freight Agent Smith will remain in Montgomery. ....f.H MT. Lutz has been with the Western seventeen years. and is held in the high est regard and esteem by the officials of
 that. company. Before going with the
 Western he was with the Louisville and Nashville. MT. Lutz is about fifty years old, and is one of the most prominent | and influential citizens of Montgomery.
 where he and his family are loved by a
 large circle of warm friends.
 As to the appointment of MT. W. N. Cox the only surprise was that it had not come some time ago. Nearly all of the officers at the local offices of the Wkst- ern are acting" and Mir. Cox cama to Montgomery some months ago from the Alabama Great Southern at Birmingham
 and was made acting superintendent. He succeeded F. H. Edwards, who at thst time, was acting superintendent
 and chief train despateher, Mir. Edwards
 then being appointed chief train des- patcher.
 l. It was a rule of President George c. Smith of the Western that when a new
 man was appointed to an office of the company, his position for a certain length
 rule of President Smith has been adhered to by President c. A. Wickersham, and
 while Mir. Cox has been superintendent in
 here. 1t was not until yesterday that the prefix acting was cut out of his title.
 There is absolutely no change in his off, fice. The same office force will remain in Montgomery as usual.
 W. c. Carpenter who holds the office
 of car accountant. still has the word "act-
 ing before his title as does Chief Train Dispatcher J. E. Andrews, who succeed
 ed MT. Edwards. That word acting
 may be taken off of their titles any day.

Anent the senatorial! question, the
Daily Bulletin says: "The interests of
Gfays Harbor are clearly to be better
served by an alignment with Eastern
Washington rather than with Puget
sound" This is an open question, but,
without entering upon its discussion, we
fail to discover-even if it be true-the
slightest reason why Grays Harbor
should support Levi Ankeny for senator.
Levi may have more money than some
other gentlemen OF Eastern Washington,
but his most enthusiastic friends do OF
allege that he leads in the quality of
brains that 60 to make up statesman.
If We regard the United States senate
simply as grab bag, and want men,
Der Who can get us the most money out

would insure every vote from Grays
Harbor for John l.. Wilson, to whose
efforts the first fe leral recognition Of
the Harhor is due.

ON GAMBLING.

In one of his sermons recently deliv.
cred on the subject of gambling the Rev.
Herbert S. Bigelow, Of Gin innati, de.
fined the true objection to gambling.
The usual objection is that gambling is
wrong because its results are determined
by chance. As Mr.. Bigelow truly Gays
this is no objection at all. Chance en-.
ters into most of the transactions of life
Moreover, whether a man shall take
chances or not is question for his own
decision. What is there about gambling
that subjects it properly 20 condemna-
ton by society? MIR. Bigelow answers
that it is the fact that success on one
side in gambling depends upon failure on
the otl,er side. 1t is this that makes
gambling unsocial and therefore wrong
getting without giving, reaping without
sowing, a curing without canning. But
what would become of many shining
lights in our better element if getting
without giving were condemned?

this clatter about Mr.. Ankeny's fitness
and availability is mere rubbish. There
is nothing genuine about it. The graft
ing politicians who have been hired and
are well paid fer whooping it up for him
know this to be true. There is no earth

THE ANKENY CAMPAIGN.

The campaign Of Levi Ankeny has
been in progress many years. At Olym-
pia at the time of the election of MIR.
Foster to the serate it received check
that was gratifying to the state. Mr..
Foster was elected by the union OF ele-
ments that were determined that An
keny should not have the honor. Is he
more worthy of the honor now? How.
ever, Mr.. Ankeny is not depeding in any
measure upon his worth. He knows he
is not fit for the place. He knows that
he never could get following if he were
on his merits to seek a following. The
problems of his career ha ye all been such
as could readily be reduce to dollars
and cents. He does not make an ex-
ception of tile senatorial problem.
Hence arises the condition often men.
toned, that the legislators who support
him subject themselves to an embarrass-
ing danger. If they have not been cor.
rupted they are stupid, and it il go
much easier to believe the former, that
they will at once come under suspicion.
The agents of Mr.. Ankeny have been
active. They have spent money freely.
They have button.holed and flattered
every delegate they could find, and they
have not missed many. In fact, the
Ankeny plan, go far as revealed, seems
to be to buv a seat in the senate. If
this is not the nature OF it, the signs are
misleading. Now, when candidate
BUYS his way in, how are the men who
vote for him to make their r. cords clear?
We confess that the problem is too
much. And if Mr.. Ankeny is not trying
to buy his way, what lie the purpose Of
his agents in spending money so freely?
There is the Ankeny press, too subsi.
died. bought outright, or mieled. This
portion of the press will perhaps be in.
dignant, ana declare that it is pure as
the driven snow. But perhaps the dis.
comfort of getting indignant will be
taken into consideration and will be
made worth while. Most any laborer
is worth OF his hi'e.-Tacoma Ledger.
