KNOX ON ROOSEVELT.

Ia his speech at Yale law school on
juno "a, Senator Knox fell into line
with the democrats Oh the question OF
state rights. Several Of bic propositions
are worth reproducing az tending to
sho the DRIFT Of public sentiment away
from the Roosevelt policies back to the
constitution and to the ~time.houored
Pnoiples OF strict construction on
which the democratic party was founded
by Jefferson and Madison. For in.

congress OF the Uoitcd States has no
general legislative powers, but only
such specific powers as are granted to il
by the constit utioD. is tot an old. fash

officer Butler and the Brakeman.

Yesterday afternoon a long fruit train
pulled III and blocked three crossings
west Of the freight house for ove: fifteen
minutes. Finally Deputy Constable
Butler went to the head brakeman and
asked hum why they were blocking the
crossings so long. The brakeman re
piled: 1T Is none OF your I'D bust
ness To this Officer Butler replied:
we will see. Let's go and see the con-
ductor.' The two started for the ticket
office where the conductor was, but before
gong very far the brakeman weakened
and promised to cut the train il the ofiic
er would let him go. He was taken at
hIs word and kept his promise.
This is the :.rst instance OF the kind
We remember of since we have been a
resident OF Elko, but We hope it won't
be the last. AS q general thing the
traInmen have done as they pleased
about blocking the crossings and the
officers have done but very little il any

has started out right and the ISDEpES.
DENT hopes he will keep it up until the
trainmen have learned to respect the
right Of the people to the uninterrupted
use OF The ii rect cross ngs.
II the officers will arrest all me q
who winfully block the streets, they
will soon obey the rules of the railroad

A MAN NAMED RARREI |

Atlanta Georgian: Theodore II. Price
III 4 New York newspaper says that "a
man named Barrett down iii Georgia
makes a fresh appeal to his constituency
TO holl their cotton for fifteen cents a
pound"
If Theodore Price was as well posted
upon cotton and the men who make 1t
as he ought to be. he would know that
the man named Barrett is the presi-
dent of sixteen hundred thousand farm
crs in this Republic, of whom seven hun
dre1 thousand live i'll the South and
make the cotton crop of the world.
If any man has a right to speak upon
this question it is "the man named Bar
rett i'll Georgia.
And Theodore Price may be assured
that when 'the man named Barrett
speaks, his words carry more weight III
an hour than Theodore Prices views
would convey in a week. he man
named Barrett" is the able ana beloved
president of the Farmers Union. They
trust him implicitly and they believe IN
him to the uttermost. He has never be-
trayed them nor mis1ed them, and you
may be sure that his fresh appeal to his
constituency will be followed to the tull
| limit of the capacity of the Southern
| farmer to hold his cotton until he can
get for it what he knows it to be worth.
Mr.. Barrett and his people may or
may not be able to secure fifteen cents
| for this years cotton crop, but Theodore
| Price and other financiers who deal with
this great commodity may as well real
| ize now what they will learn hereafter,
| that there will be a strong and intelligent
effort to secure this price for staple
whose supply this year is comparatively
limited, and whose demand has never
been surpassed by the call for it, during
the coming year.
And meanwhile, although we would be
| the last to counsel the farmer to any OBJ
stinacy or to any unreasonable pride Of
opinion in the matter, we sincerely trust
that our Southern farmer will wait for
better reasons than any which now exist
for the surrender Ct price which rs has
the right to name f3r the great 9rod:'ct
