National Press Comment
on Current Events

Widespread interest in and approval
of the proposal to create a new State
out of portions of Washington, Idaho
and Oregon indicate that the project
has taken substantial root and has a
reasonable prospect of bearing fruit.
Following the creation and expression
of public sentiment will come the meth
cd of procedure to carry out the plan.
In forming the proposed new
State of Lincoln-or whatever name
may be chosen-it will be necessary for
the consent of the Legislatures of
Idaho, Washington and Oregon to be
given before Congress can take formal
action admitting the new State. This
means that a lot of work will have to
be done by those who are promoting
the change, and that Community of
sentiment" must be created in the three
Legislatures to secure their united ac-
ton The scheme presents complica-
tions that can, of course, be overcome,
though 1t may take some time to work
1t out to a successful consummation.-
Spokane Spokesman Review.
It is clear that federal legislation
against the trusts and against discrim-
ination by railroads and other common
carriers is to be supplemented by many
State attacks upon trade injustice. Leg
islatures will vie with Congress in Civ
ing effect to the sentiment of the coun-
try. Governors will rival President
Roosevelt in the vigor If not in the ef-
feet of their appeals for adequate laws
and in their efforts to make the fullest
possible use of existing statutes Even
the strongest and most ably defended
monopolies must yield in the end to
such pressure. There Is no chance of a
winning fight against the power OF the
laws and the courts when the spur of
public sentiment Is as keen and active
as it is now.-Cleveland Leader.
Mr.. Hartman very properly never
votes in the Union Pacific directory
when the question comes up of buying
for the company stocks of other rail-
roads of which he is q large owner
Yet 1t appears from the same records
that the other directors perform no
particular Office save to approve the
schemes and wishes Of Harriman. The
conclusion is, of course, that Hartman
buys stocks from himself at his own
price for the Union Pacific. But note
the great propriety observed in the
performance.-springfeld Republican.

residence on Broadway taking off his
shoes. On nearing MS visitor, he
was found to be a negro and, not

watch the man and he went over to
the home of Mr.. Jonn Neff. and had
him and his son to go with him to

at once responded and took the ne:
gro into custody. The negro was
placed in the station house for the
