so fortunate as to amass considerable
wealth have done so by strict obed-
ience TO the law and by an exhibi-
ton OF all the virtues which go 70

POSTED NOTICES

Registrars who will sit on October -
and 10 to qualify first voters and those
who failed TO register. in order that
they vote at the license election. have
posted notices Of where the registration
boards will sit. Under the law these
notices must be posted ten days prior
to tho registration.
While there is regulation prohibit
ing the placarding Of telegraph and
telephone poles most Of the registrars
have posted their notices on the poles.
It Is believed no action will be taken
regarding this. however, as the posters
are looked upon as official announce

property when following course so
shortsighted as to be really an assault
upon property. They have shown eN-
trene unwisdonn in their violent OPP
position to the assumption OF COM
plete control over the railroads by the
Federal Government. The American
people will not tolerate the happy
oo-lucky system Of no control over
the great Interstate railroads, .witn
the insolent and manifold abuses which
have so generally accompanied it..
The control must exist somewhere;
and unless it is by thoroughgoing and
radical law placed uDOn the statute
books of the Nation. it will be eXel-
cised in ever-increasing measure by
the several States. The same con-
siderations which made the founders
of the Constitution deem il impera-
tive that the Nation should have COM
plete control of interstate commerce
applv with peculiar force to the con-
troll Of interstate railroads at the pres
ent day: and the arguments of Madi-
son Of Virginia. Pincimey Of South
Carolina. and Hamilton and Jay of
New York. in their essence apply now
as they applied one hundred and
twenty years ago.
The national convention which franz
ed the Constitution. and in which al
most all the most eminent of the hrsi
generation af American statesmen sat
embodied the theory Of the instrument
in a resolution to the effect that the
National Government should have
power in cases where the separate
States were incompetent to act with
fun efficiency. and where the harmony
of the United States would be inter
rlpted by the exercise Of such indi-
vidual legislation. The interstate rail-
road situation is exactly a case II
point. There will. of course. be loca
matters affecting railroads which car
best be dealt with by local authority
but as national commercial agents th'
/ big interstate railroad ought to p'
I completely subject to national author
/ ity. Only thus can we secure theh
/ complete subjection TO. and control by
! a single sovereign, representing th'
/ whole people, and capable both %
protecting the public and Of seeinl
that the railroads neither inhict no
! endure injustice.
Personally I firmly believe that ther
should be national legislation to con
troll an industrial corporations doinl
an interstate business, including tn
control of the output Of their securi
ties. but as to these the necessity TO
! Federal control is less urgent and IN
.me5late than is the case with the rail
roads.
