with the ST. Paul & Tacoma Lumber
company, of which Senator Foster is
an officer.
Mr.. Bib has taken to the stump, and
IS pouring redhot shot into TIE, rarr-
road camp. He has collected an amaz-
ing amount Of Data on the commits
sion question. The burden of his argu-
ment IS that if James j. Hills policy of
railroad consolidation is carried out
without check or hindrance it will in
ure the commercial interests. not alone
of Tacoma, but of the whole Pacific
coast. Moreover, Mr.. Bibb is making
strong appeal to the civic virtue and
manhood of the voters of his district
to down the corrupt and corrupting
railroad ring. He presided at Judge
Turner's meeting in Tacoma Thursday
evening.
Bibb is up against a hard fight: his
district is overwhelmingly republican,
and the chances unQ ,ionably favor
Mr. Bronson. But one can not help ad-
mire the fight he Is putting up Strong

Intelligent mind the railroad problem
would soon be a thing of the past.
They Mss Ed Hamilton.
Ed Hamilton has gone to his rest
and the railroad people miss him.
When he died the brains of their orga-
nizatiOn in Pierce county vanished. He
was not only a shrewd and capable
campaign manager, but he understood
just how far the railroads dare go in
the direction of provoking the wrath
of the voters. Ben GrOsscup doesn't: he
is a regular bull in a china shop. Had
Hamilton been at Grosscup's elbow
during the state convention Grosscup
would not have invited the anger of
Pierce county's electorate. We would
be writing a different story Of Pierce
county now.
But Hamilton is no more: the Or
ganizaton which he built up for the
railroads in Pierce county is shattered,
and on November it will be repudi-
ated and demolished by the independ-
ent voters of the county. Turner will
carry the county as certain as election

ager. said: Rose is a wonderful shot
putter but he would have to learn a
good deal about the game before he
could go many rounds with Jeffries 1t
is not alone great physique and
strength that makes a great fighter.
Take our friend Placke for instance
who fell such an easy victim to Nc
Coy. 1t would be the same case with
Rose"
Brooklyn Jimmie Carroll remarked:
The fact that Rose is a human mon
ster and an athlete does not lead me to
believe that he would have much of
Il chance with Jeffries. It takes differ
ent muscles to manipulate shots than it
does to deliver blows of force. The
question is how good Jefries would be
in four years. He would have to do
considerable fighting in the meantime
to keep his weight down. l am willing
to bet that the first man Rose meets in
the professional ranks will defeat him."
Of Course, Jeff Might Go Back.
Charley White said: "Jeffries will
be the champion as long as he likes. 1t
is not likely that he will be in the
fighting business in four years from
now. There never was a man like Rose
who could jump in the ring and whip
man like Jeffries. Rose may be a
strong young fellow. with plenty OF
ambition. but it's the waIlop that
counts and the man that knows how
to manipulate it with the greatest eff
feet is the winner. 1t takes long years
of experience to do the trick right
George Considine said: "Of course,
