j. L. Tribble for Associate Justice.

We publish to-day strong endorse
ments from Anderson, the home of MIR.
Tribble, to the General Assembly re-
commanding him rs n suitable person
to succeed Justice McIver on tho su-
preme bench. These endorsements
are all the more worthy of considera
ton because of the fact that they come
from Mr.. Tribble's home where he has
spent all of his professional life. In
fact, Mr.. Tribble was born in Anderson
County, near Honea Path. Not only
has his record an honorable one, but he
is proven himself to 20 man of de-
cided ability.
A year or two ago gentleman who
had lived in Anderson for some years
was speaking to us of MIR. Tribble and
no laid special emphasis on the fact
that he wns a Christian. This we re-
gard as one of the highest recommen-
datlOns for positions of trustand honor.
What more can be said OF II man when
it is said that he is competent, high
toned and IL Christian gentleman.
We have known j. l.. rribble for
more than thirty years and we have
unboundcd confidence in him. So
strong is our confidence that we are
sure that ho would not aspire to any
position which he was not competent
to fill. We hope that he will be elected
to succeed Judge McIver.-Greenwoo

Tie Special Committee Still at Work.

TIE investigation being made by the
special committee appointed by the
City Council on petition of citizens who
had grievances to present against the
Blue Ridge Railroad, continues to re-
celve sworn statements from time to
time, and 1t seems quite likely that q
case will be made out against the road
sufficiently strong to justify the COM
mittee in demanding redress, even
facts before q jury.
There have been twenty-fiv or more
sworn statements made before this spe-
cial committee. The statements go to
show that the bulk of the passenger
and freight traffic is over the Blue
Ridge Road; that there is great ineffi-
cheney both as to passenger accOmmO-
dations and freight facilities. Aside
from a want OF proper provision of pas
senger coaches and total lack of com
fort on such as are provided, and at
tention and information passengers are
entitled to, tickets and checks to and
from Anderson are provided only on
the Blue Ridge Road, at and between
Walhalla and Bolton. In other words,
persons coming from q distance to An
dersOn can buy tickets and check bag
gage to Seneca anc Be.tcS only, If their
route be over the Southern, and the
same is true as to passengers from An
dcrson to distant points over the
Southern.
IN the matter of freights, delays are
.con ,tantly caused by waiting for rates
hey ".'i points on the Blue Ridge. The
South, rn having no agent at this point
necessitates communication first will
the officials of the Blue Ridge and
through them with the officials Of the
Southern. This results in delay and
leaves Anderson without redress, the
Blue Ridge officials justly claiming

AFTER MIR. SlrOO7.

If the Hon. Reed Smoot, United States
Senator from Utah, isn't trembling in
his boots or shaking in his shoes ii
isn't because he hasn't reason to be.
The women are after him, the same de-
termined women who led the movement
which drove Representative Roberts
out of the House at Washington. They
are going to drive Mr.. Smoot out of the
Senate if they can, and they think they
can. Their formidable corporate name
is the nterdenominational Council of
Women for Christian and Patriotic Ser
vice, and their president, one of the
most energetic of puhlic-spirited women,
is the wife of former Congressman
James OK New York. Among the off,
GERS are Mrs. R. S. Macarthur, Mrs
Charles H. Parkhurst, Mrs. Alfred E.
Myers and Miss. Helen Gould.
Senator Smoot will have some sup
port which Representative Roberts
didn't have, and he seems to be other
wise in little different position than
that of Representative Roberts. But he
is going to have lively trouble, and ii
will not be at all surprising if he is
ultimately retired to his beloved Utah

a CAB 4 CAB WOW IN NEW YORK

Occasionally a New Havener goes to
New York, and occasionally he hires a
cab there. Also occasionally he pays
more than he ought to. Hereafter he
needn't be swindled unless he is 'eas-
Ter" than he ought to be. There has
long been regulation in New York by
which the ordinary cabman is obliged
to keep the legal schedule of fares post
ed in his vehicle, and is prohibited from
charging more. But the regulation has
practically been of no effect because the
livery stable keepers have secured a
special license for cabs to be sent from
stables and to stand in front of hotels
land clubs. These cabs have been held
to be exempt from the restrictions as to
flare which bind the regular cabman.
Their drivers could make a bargain
with the fare, and if no bargain was
made they could; and did, charge what
ever sum they happened to fancy the
passenger would pay. The opinion of
the Corporation Counsel is that~the le-
gal rates of fare apply to all these vehi-
cles alike. and that all must carry post
led up conspieuously the legal schedule.
The special cab is done away with. A
cab is a cab now, and the man who
calls one has legal protection from
|swindling wherever he gets the vehicle.
Good. This opinion was brought out
by young man who wouldn't be swim
died and made test case. Courageous
and useful young man. He should have
a vote of thanks from those who will
benefit by his action.

THE VETERANA.

The indications are that though the
decorations have been rained on the
Spanish War Veterans who will march
to-day win not be. 1t is to be hoped
that the indications tell truly. and that
the Veterans will march in the sunlight
of the sun as well as in the sunlight of
popular approval. They are thrice well
come to New Haven. and as many
times more as anybody can think or
say. We hope they will enjoy their
stay here. New Haven is a great city
Cog reunions and conventions. and is
prepared to look and do her best for the
present reunion and convention. The
veterans will no doubt be pleased and
impressed by her beauties and glories.
but we hope they will not think that
the ''old veteran" trees which they will
see are intended as a special and spec
tally graceful tribute to Veterans. They
are just evidences of neglect which,
fortunately, doesn't get into New Ha-
ven hospitality.

Heaped on the field, the players jab, and

They break each others arms and legs, and

And here and there is one who gets his
