SVINNESANT FISH ON THE
 ISSUE.
ISSUE

Newspaper readers will readily call to mind the fereeness of the conflict which but few months ago ragged between certain high iinanciers and railway magnates for the mastery of the Illinois Central railroad system which had it's cul- imitation in the defeat of Stuyves- mt Fish. who had been for wears tho president of that corporation, for reelection.
 Only a short while since Mr. Fish was invited to attend ban quet at the city of Orange up in the state of New Jersey, which state is now hailed as the mother of the trusts. her charter act being so libcrallv framed as to admit Of the incorporation of almost any sort of combination among persons for the transaction of almost any business under the sun.
 He accepted the invitation, at tended the banquet, and delivered an address that contained many good points. Mir. Fish is himself a very rich man, but that fact had no influence whatever on his speechifying, as will be seen by a perusal of this brief except from the address as delivered by him. and which was throughout an explosion of his long pent up wrath on the heads of his late associates, who had banded together and given him the cordial grand bounce:
 The contest is no longer be- tween those who have and those who have not, but between those on the one hand who have moderately, sufficiently and even abundantly and on the other those who, through the use of trust funds and the power incident thereto, seek by questionable practices to have ex- cessiyely. This is the issue which ia daily brought into every home In America. Like taxation without rep resentation, It involves moral and ethical questions, and strikes at the pocket book. which has been called the sure road to the Anglo-SaXnn' 's heart It will not down Great and repeated efforts have been made to quiet and hush the clamol which is rising on this subject Such efforts may succeed for a time, but not in the end It is not for me to say, in the words of Pat rick Henry, Gentlemen may cry peace, peace, but there is nc peace,' nor yet, Shall we lie su. pinely on our backs until the enemy

Special Correspondence of Graphic.

Special spondence of Graphic,
 Little Rock, Ark. Jan 15.--The elec- ton of john Ike Moore as president 6l the senate is regarded as a signal victory for the anti-Davis forces and is taken as an indication that the up per branch of the legislative body will be controlled absolutely by the anti Davis men during the coming session. With the inauguration Of Judge John s Little as governor a new element is injected into state politics and it $ regarded as probable that there will be a certain re-alignment of forces. The lines have been drawn closely be- tween the Davis and anti-Davis fac tions for several years, but this may be changed to some extent by the en- try of Governor Little upon the scene. The result is problematical at present as the exact relationship between Da- wis and Little seems to be a little un- certain. It has been generally accept ] ed as a fact that Davis and Little were | working together but now that Little has safely reached the governors chair there is considerable uncertainty as to the future of this alliance. This uncertainty was injected into the race for the presidency of the senate. Moore is recognized as a pronounced anti-Davis man. Senator Milan was 1 known as openly to be Davis man. Senator Otis T. Wingo was supposed to have the support of Governor Little and there is a story to the effect that the support which WingO expected to secure from that source failed to ma terialize. This, it is said, was largely responsible for his withdrawal from the race on Saturday night. WingO has been an uncertain quantity, inas- much as he has not figured extensive ly in state politics in the past, but he made hard fight and showed strength at one time that was a source of con- siderable worry to his competitors.
 The race for the speakership of the house was so complicated at all times that here has been little chance to fig ure the dope on the outcome. The old fight between Davis and anti-Davis factions did not enter into this fight to any extent on account of the large number of candidates and the fight was waged more on personalities and individual platforms than on factional lines.

The St. Paul Dispatch (Rep), is inclined to find in Gov James A. Johnson of Minnesota the logical Democratic candidate for the presi- dency in 1908, and gives some of it's reasons for this attitude, as fol- lows The personal qualities which made Johnson governor second time by the biggest majority ever given a governor in Minnesota are absolutely essential in the next Democratic presidential nominee
 His personal magnetism would sup ply the first necessary factor, while his policy of passivity would fur nish the second. Having stood for nothing definite during the admin istrations, his nomination would not necessitate apc'ogy for things past Having never been an over- ardent Democrat he would not give

Pools on Races.

The reform element at Hot Springs is said to be preparing a bomb to be thrown into the ranks Of the citizens who favor more liberal application of the laws governing gambling at the famous resort. It is said that an at tempt will be made to rush through the legislature bill which will eff fectiyely put an end to the plans for holding a 60-day race meeting which is scheduled to open at OaklaWn park at Hot Springs February 1. Represent tatives of the Citizens improvement Union which is behind the movement have been ill the city for several days. The exact nature of the bill to be in troduced has not been made public, but. it is expected that it will seek to prohibit the selling of pools on races in Arkansas. This, it is believed, would make impossible the holdings of successful race meeting. Bills to make gambling a fel9ny and to put an end to drumming will also form part of the legislation that Hot Springs will ask.

FUEL FAMINE
THREATENED
Supply at Spokane is Becoming
Short

Spokane, Wn., Jan. 16-As a result
Of the serious storms along the Cana.
dian Pacific and Great Northern rail
roads the coal situation again assumes
a serious aspect. Not only is the
supply for commercial and domestic
purposes running extremely low, but
the railroads are all hard pushed to
get coal enough with which to operate
their freight trains and the movement
of freight yesterday was extremely
slow.
The supply received from the mines
at Fernie, B. c., received over the
Great Northern, has been greatly di-
minished and in fact. is not enough
to keep the Great Northern properly
supplied TO enable it TO handle its
traffic, let alone supplying any coal
for commercial use.
Conditions along the Canadian Pa.
cif1c are such that the supply of coal

the Spokane international has been
practically cut of and so far as is
known, no coal has been received
from the Canadian Pacific during the
past three days.
Information received from Phoenix.
b c., yesterday was TO the effect that
the Canadian Pacific road is unable TO
secure coal enough to operate its own
locomotives and is confiscating large
amounts Of coal consigned TO other
roads and to dealers, not only IN
Canada but in this section.
An occasional car Of coal Is being
received from the Wyoming mines
and the clearing of the Great Northern
blockade yesterday is supposed to have
released to 10 cars OF coal consigned
to Spokane dealers from Montana. 1t
was stated at the Great Northern offices
yesterday that whatever coal had been
tied up by the storm would be given
