COREY THE LAW" Is GOVERNOR
GLENN'S ULTIMATUM.

Elsewhere we print an interview"
with Governor Glenn on the matter
raised. in the State and Federal courts
In North Carolina last week. growing
out Of the refusal Of the Southern rail-
way and the Atlantic a Line rail-
way to obey The rate law.
The Governor says plainly and re-
solutely that it is his determination
to see that the laws of North Carolina
are enforced. He deprecates any
conflict between State and Federal
authorities, but he points out hat II
is all due to the refusal Of these two
rich corporations Of North Carolina
to obey the law obey the law,
SAYS the Governor, and if that is done
he tells the lawless railways he VIII
stop all prosecutions and advise that
no writs for penalties be pressed.
Nobody in North Carolina wants to
compel the railroad-even those now
engaged in anarchy-to pay large
sums in penalties, or for even the
higher up officials to be imprison-
ed. All that is desired is that these

the poor. His sentence of IS impos-
ed upon Mr.. Thos. Green and $780,

the spirit of the judicial administra-
ton and effectually answers the alb
surd statement that the State is per

spirit OF nothing but a high resolve
to compel obedience.ro the law. There
is nothing vindictive in the charge

the action and statement of the Gov

but obedience to the laws the Cover
nor states that he will be satisfied
with nothing less. That is the course
that will be approved by all the peo-
pie of North Carolina. They rejoice
in Judge Longs brave action. They
will hold UP the hand of Governor
Glenn in saying that this law, deied
by powerful interests, is fairly en-
