Although murders are committed
repeatedly in this State, the electric
death chair at Raleigh bids fair to
become rusty for lack of an occupant.
The law and public sentiment seem
to be with the murderer, while the
victim, whose soul has been ushered
nito eternity and his kith and kin are
seemingly forgotten.-Winston-Sa-

Senator Swanson.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Claude A. Swanson will make his
mark in the Senate at Washington.
He has ability OF no mean order,
large and varied experience in public
affairs, ambition to match the work
of the great men who have preceded
him in the seats of the mighty, the
confidence of his State, which he has
served with dignity and fidelity, and
the good wishes of all it's people for
the fullest measure OF success in the
high place to which he has beed ap-
pointed by the Governor of Virginia.
His career has been remarkable. He
has made himself what he is by his
own industry and determination.
The farmers boy of Pittsylvania,
struggling TO the light, has by the
eloquence OF his voice, the sincerity
Of his purposes and high services to
his people achieved the distinction
now worthily bestowed upon him.
Member Of Congress for twelve years,
Governor OF Virginia for four years
he will now take his seat in the high
est legislative body in the world fully
equipped for the services expected of
him.
Swanson's greatest and best work
was done when he was Governor Of
the State. These things were accom-
plished under his administration and
by his persistent, intelligent, never
firing work. High schools OF the
State increased from "A to $50; new
school houses built at a cost of 81
600, 900; agricultural and normal
training schools established in each
of the Congressional districts; State
department OF dairy and food inspec-
tion established; Increased appropria-
tions for the development OF the fruit
industry; State Board of Health
created; State Highway Department
established; State Geological Survey
created; colony for epileptics pro-
| vided for; State Board of Charities
and correction established; increased
pensions for Confederate veterans
urged and secured; jamestown Ex-
position promoted, and many other
things of practical value to the Com
monwealth advocated and accom-
plished through his constructive
| work.
This is a record Of which the new
Senator may well feel proud, and it is
because of what he has achieved by
abundant labors that the people OF
the State expect good work from
him at Washington. He will succeed
one OF the foremost men of the South,
and, following his example in all that
touches the life and character OF this
part OF the country, he will prove
himself worthy of his Office.

Riverside County

VALLEJO, July 2S.-Joseph c. Brown
and Carl Dunoar Bishop. who confessed
robbing the China-Japan fast mail
train near Benicia last April, yesterday
admitted another crime to Sheriff j. ].
Mcdonald. At the time of making a
clean breast OF the holdup the men ad-
mitted that they had robbed a cyclery
in Riverside, where they had secured

of being a bic to clear up the robbery.
which had baff7ed the southern officers
for months.
When accused of the robbery both
of the prisoners at first denied any
knowledge of the crime, but later ad-
vised Sheriff Mcdonald that he could
inform the southern sheriff that there
was no necessity of pursuing his search
for thieves any further.
The intention of the authorities of
this county to turn the pair of bandits
over to the government for prosecution
because the maximum penalty for train

abandoned, and information will be
filed against the men just as soon as
District Attorney Raines returns from

COOPERATIVE COMPANY
MAY ENTER ICE FIELD
PorterviIIe Citizens Plan to
Fight High Prices
Especial Dispoich TO The Call

LOPCClCt 1ISpOiCH ~ nc Suttl
PORTERVILLE, July $50 many
of the citizens have been complaining
about the price of the ice supplied by
the Union ice company that the matter
was taken up at the meeting of the
Merchants association Monday evening.
II was proposed TO start an independent
company, but some of the members OBJ
jected on the ground that as soon as
the new company commenced opera
tions the Union company would cut the
price and undersell the smaller con-
cern.
To overcome this difficulty it was
proposed to form a cooperative COM
pany, and if the Union ice company
lowered the price to such a figure that
the new company could not sell at a
profit it could suspend operations until
the Union ice company came TO terms.
Hanford was cited as an example of
what could be done if the matter was
properly handled. For the first two
years the Union ice company tried to
freeze out the local company in that
city, but ii was unable TO do So and
finally came to an agreement with the
smaller company.
