 Some things are clear. In the first Is q concrete expression of lawiess- ness. Not all law breakers are riot CTS and highway robbers but all have When man gets his consent to de- liberately break the law. he may not go all the way. but he has started in the direction of the place those men reached last Monday. Before they will men did unless they are convinced that the laws interfering with them and their plans will be enforced.
 Then. this incident shows how ls on the subject of law enforcement The dofngs of that mob may be the means of waking up people In Mont tfimsnt has @ winSed at mo mob Violence till the men in that mob believed their lawiess act would be sustained by pub- lie sentiment, Has not the time come all patriots should unite in making sentiment for the enforcement of law? And has not the time come for the press of the State to eeasef criticising laws and the chief executive and the law-making body of the State and thus whether intentionally or not. dis crediting the laws.
 To do this the preachers may find themselves admonished by men sud- denly become jealous for the honor of the ministry. to preach the Gospel when they go in the pulpit. These guardians of the honor of the pulpit forget that the author of the Gospel preached Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesars" To do their duty some teachers may find 1t necessary to change localities and some judges may find themselves jur- ists without jobs and may have to turn to something else for a voca- ton. But the issue is in all of us who love our country and our fellow men.
 The venerable and learned jurist of Mobile was reported to have said a wise as well as a patriotic thing when in the law and order meeting. he de- clared If public sentiment did not support the law, we must make pub lie sentiment" Can we who love our land afford to shirk in the face of the present peril?

Violence at the Capital

Mobile Register. ,
 and violent contempt for law that has had no counterpart here. It is true Mobile was singled out for the con- demnation of the whole State and pointed at for her supposed excess ot wickedness, and to such an extent as ple believe that the law had no friends here: but, with all their shortcomings the people here paid respect to the machinery of law and those who were accused resorted to none but legal means in defense of what they regarde ed as their rights. We have as a com munity nothing to brag of, 1t Is trues for we have not shown due diligence in the enforcement of the law and have left to strangers the work of seeking the violators of certain laws; but we can. at least, congratulate Mobile that guage, was publicly resorted to by any of our citizens. The foreign agents were ''kidded," says one who Is famil- far with tlse Droceedlngs here. and were given cigars. In Montgomery said agents were fearfully beaten and the were stolen from them. The assault seems to have been premeditated and for the special purpose of doing away with the evidence. When the package containing the bottles to be used iA giving evidence was taken and carried off, the assadlants of the detectives quickly disappeared. It was an out rageous performance, anyway 1t can be viewed, and particularly to be con- demned as taking place in the law making. and law enforcing center of Montgomery will redeem hersolf. She cannot afford to set so bad an exanlpAA to the rest of the State.

THE GEORGIA RAILROAD ARBrTER,

ononuAA keha1hNohD AHhDhA A<A~f1
 In the selection of Hon. Hilary A. Her bert as arbiter for the Georgia Railroad in the contention with the firemen of that road, General Manager Thomas K. Scott has displayed great good judg- ment and wisdom. It requires a great sense of justice. and knowledge of conditions in the country at large to qualify a man to sit as arbiter in a case in which so much is at stake as in this particular one. To say noth- ing of the racial feature. which it un- fortunately and unnecessarily has been made to assume. the future labor con- ditions, in the Southern States particu- iarly. are involved. A decision can be reached by which far greater trouble than has ever yet been encountered will be met with in the labor field of the South. To guard against an entire change of policy as to employment of negro labor ought to be the desire of the arbiters, but of course what policy will be adopted remains to be seen.
 Mir. Scott has certainly chosen as the arbiter for the interests he repre- sents a man who Is peculiarly qualified to give counsel and reach just conclu- sions. He is a Southern man to his hearts core sharing in all the senti- ments of the Southern people. and knowing as we'll as any man who lives the delicate relations which a single misstep can change into a condition of labor chaos and confusion. He has no corporation connections and is free from all influences which such a connection might create. He is an able lawyer, and conscientious man with all the requirements of an impartial judge. His public service and record speak for him far more than any mere friendly commendation.
 MT. Hardwick, the arbiter chos- en by the firemen, is a young man of ability and at present a representative in Congress from Georgia. He and Col Herbert have the selection of third man in their hands and if they cannot agree then the chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Commissioner of Labor will have to make the selection. It Is a great and grave question the arbiters have to consider and one in which the whole country is vitally l interested.

cHITTEsa WOOD.

 Madison County.


 Madison County.
 Decatur, Ala, June 9, 1909. Editor Advertiser:
 was somewhat surprised to see in a recent issue of your paper an ar ticle about the discovery of Chittem wood in this State.
 In the eastern and northeastern part of Madison county. and in parts of Jackson. there Is a great deal of this wood. but it Is all small, crooked gnarled and knotty, a stick seven fee. long and nearly straight, eight inches across the small end being the finest piece of it I ever saw.
 On the mountains around what is locally known as Killingworth Cove. i've miles from Gurley. great quan- titles of it may be had for the cut ting and hauling. and If 1t could be used in two to four foot lengths great quantities of saleable stun could be gotten.
 The people around there use 1t very extensively for fence posts. but that Is the only use I ever knew 1t to be put to. We tried several years ago to work up a sale on 1t. but were un- successful, though why, I am unable to understand, as 1t Is the hardest wood, takes the finest polish, and has the prettiest grain I ever saw, and would be exceptionally fine for inlay ing. veneering and trimming of fine work. and. in the ground 1t far out lasts red cedar. Yours truly,

ELECTRIC POWER CONCERN.
The Richfield Electric Light & Power
company has been In existence since
July. 1904. and during that time scarce
ly an enterprise in the state has been
through such a struggle for existence.
Tom Brown came TO Richfield In that
year and Installed a steam plant and
gave the people OF this central Utah
metropolis its first electric lights. The
plant consisted of a steam engine and
boiler and three single phase gem
orators of 600 lights each. For nearly
three years this plant continued In
operation with a meager patronage
which barely paid the operating OK
penses.
In the fall of 1906 negotiations for tho
installation of a small hydro electro
plant at Glenwood was started by Mr..
Brown. In order to accomplish this
an incorporation was necessary. The

The Vision Lincoln Saw Several Times
In His Sleep.
Napoleon believed devoutly in dreams
as warnings or even as forecasts of
what was to come. and even he who
most prides himself upon his freedom
from superstition knows of or has ex-
perienced at least one dream that can
not be explained as a mere result OF
overfeeding.
When we contemplate dreams and
their ramifications science can help US
but little in their explanation. Wilkie
Collins showed this to be SO In one of
his most ingenious novels, "Armadale
Warning dreams or premonltlons may
be the result OF natural laws which we
do not understand
Lincoln was not counted supersti-
tious because he had some confidence
In the prophetic character of one
dream at least, for 1t visited his sleep
ON several OCCASIONS and he spoke of
1t seriously to members of his family
and to his closest friends. In telling
of this vision he said he seemed to be
in "a singular, indescrbable vessel, but
always the same. moving with great
rapidity toward a dark and indefinite
shore"
The dream preceded several marked
incidents during his occupancy OF the
presidential chair. notably before tho
battles of Antietam, Fredericksburg
and Gettysburg.

his cabinet that he had dreamed this

FIVE BANKS.
Ogden has five banking Institutions
whose splendid condition is n credit to
the city. The annual statements Of
these banks show that conditions are
better than ever before. The increase
of business of most of these lnstitu-
tions, as shown by their statements, Is
remarkable, There are more depositors
this year than ever In the history of
the city and the wealth per capita Is
high.
Ogden's wholesale houses are among
the largest west of Omaha, and the
merchandise of all varieties distributed
from this point runs into millions of
dollars every year. The warehouse and
wholesale district of the city is grow
ing rapidly and the class of buildings
here Is as substantial as any to be
found In the country. The unexcelled
railroad facilities of Ogden. mako il

quantities of merchandise.

There is strong growing sentiment
in Ogden regarding the unity of her
citizens The better class of business
and professional men are beginning to
feel that much harm has been dono
