tary forces Of the nation, the governors
of states will be deprived OF no rights,
privileges or prerogatives by the oper-
alton of the new law. The law as 1t
stands has been approved by nearly
every National Guard officer Of prom
inence in the country. Colonel Edward
r. Britton, the chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the Interstate Ma
tional Guard association, worked dill
gently for it's passage, and 1t is due
largely to the efforts of the officers Of
the guard, who were the best able 70
see the defects of the present system,
that this measure for it's betterment
has become a law.
The new law raises the National
Guard to military dignity and Congress-
may be congratulated and Secretary
Root thanked for the realization of a
scheme which ought to have been car
ried out as soon as the Civil War
closed There may be some little fric-
ton in the reorganization of regiments
to conform to the regular establish
mcnt, but the vast benefits of the plan
will make all interested in the militia
forget anything of that kind.

The recent terrible railroad disasters
ir New York and New Jersey have re-
legislatures of both States providing for
q third man in the cab of all locomotive
engines. 1t is possible that this might

it is not often that divided responsible

not often that a railroad accident is
the fault of the man in the cab, as
those particular New York and New

Judge w. b. Hepburn of Idaho, the
Republican who will succeed Senator
Heitfeld, Democrat in the United
States Senate, is one of the big men of
his state and he is certain to prove, in
one sense at least, one of the big men
of Washington. He is a. giant in height
and weighs $50 pounds, SO the truthful
papers from the West declare. 1t is
not likely that the pugnacious Tillman
will be in a hurry to seize him by the
throat. Senator Heitfeld, by the way,
is not a very small sized man as he
stands 6 feet and inches and weighs
2S0 pounds, but he says he is only a
piginy beside his successor.
