dian Tribal governments and France in 1909 subverted its fnsurgent civil servants. Now let me ask all of you what sort of treatment will the Ann erican people in 1910, 1912 or 1915 be forced to deal out to the rebellious American Federation of Lnbor."
 The report of the committee on in ter-State commerce assumed almost the form of a railroad epic-denounc- ing the legislative regulation of com 1ron carriers, the $29,000,OOO fine inn posed upon the Standard Oil Company by Judge Landis as a mere outburst of acute diabolical frenzy" and wind ing up with a complimentary chapter referring to the justice of the inter- State Commerce Commission in ad- mihistering the Hepburn bill. The re- port says:
 "It seems worth while at this point, to call the attention of Congress to the figures by which railroad officials claim to have proved they are carrying loss. If there is any truth in this claim and it cannot, we think, be made up out of whole cloth-this loss can be met only in oneway: by high freight if shippers are taxed in order that the Postoffice department may show a smaller deficit in operation"
 The report further demands nodi- so far as it applies to railroad com- panies and refers to the Construction of such a formidable array of battle ships as merely a mad excitement of military spirit-our only danger being the dream of an over heated fancy and we find our National perplexities more moral than economical"
 The report urges the construction of the lakes to the gulf canal, an interior still waterway between Massachusetts and the Carolinas and a ship channel from Lake Erie to the Hudson and thence to the ocean by way of Lake Ontario and the Mohawk.
 Finally the committee deplores the destruction of forests and estimates that the present rate of numbering will directly deplete our supply and indirectly destroy many waterways within eight years.

TIT MERCER REPUBLICAN.

The Mercer Republican IS greatly
perturbed because its good friend
Doc Fudge has been refused license
to sell liquor in Bluefield and it
seems determined to cast all the
blame on the Evening Leader. Well,
we did oppose it to the best OF our
ability, and we gave our reasons for
IT, Our reasons for opposing Fudge
had nothing 20 do with the question
whether Blueiield should be wet or
dry. The liquor question was not
in issue in the last two city cam
pa gns and the Leader had no occa-
sion to take stand for one side or
the other. Mayor Slower and Mr.
election. 1t was, however. a ques-
ton in the last county election and
the Leader supported the dry candi-
date and the Republican supported
the wet one. The Leader had other
reasons for supporting Mr. French
besides his position on the liquor
question, chief OF which was the
record Mr.. Thorn had made as a
member or the court We believed
that the election OF Mr. French was
for the best interest OF Mercer county
and we advised his election without
regard to the license question. TIE
TACT remains. however, that we sup
ported the dry candidate and the Re
publican supported the wet one. All
this, however. has nothing TO do with
the question OF granting renewal
OF license TO Fudge. Neither has the
fact that Kelley x Meyer operate "A

Kelley & Meyer to say that they
