II Senator Cockrell accepts the DO
sition rendered him on the Interstate
Commerce Commission, that body will
have a member whose one idea in pub
lie life has been to protect the inter-
ests OF the people and of the United
States. No man has spent more time
in the senate watching schemes and
striking out bad egislation-matters
in which he or his constituents per-
sonally had no interest-than Senator
Cockrell.

parts of the world. Immense new de-
velopments are being made in the
United States and the indications are
that the vast bodies of ore discovered
will keep the gold output on the in
crease for some years to come. How
ever, this sort of news no longer de
presses Mr.. Bryan and MS silver wOr
shippers as it once did. He is himself
getting more and more of the yellow
