Corporation Commission TO have the
national safety appliance Law put In

In this State. The Supreme Court

state commerce business or not, to be
equipped with safety appliances.
The people OF our State are to be
congratulated that there Is a Federal
safety appliance law, and that there
is National Interstate Commerce
Commission, and that there is a Fed
eral Supreme Court. Otherwise, We
would be without the benefits OF the
safety appliance law.
Our State Is equally to be congrat-
ulated upon the fact that there Is a
Federal antitrust law and Republi-
can Federal administration to enforce
1t. Were this not so. there would not
be any prosecutions against apy

THE RECENT ELECTION.

There have been no changes In the
election returns OF November 7th as
reported In our news columns last
week. except we believe IL has been
finally conceded that New Mexico has
elected a Republican Legislature
which will send two Republicans to
the United States Senate.
The fact that the Republicans cap
tured New York State by An over
whelming majority makes 1t practl-
cally certain that New York will give
a large majority for the Republican
candidate for President next year.
The result In Maryland has caused
much rejoicing among the Republic
cans as we'll as among some Demo-
Gratis. Not only did the Republicans
defeat the Democratic candidate for
Governor, Arthur Pue German, who
represented the worst element in the
Democratic party, but they also elect
ed the States attorney in Baltimore,
the sheriff of Baltimore County, and
a few other important oihces. The
Legislature OF that State Is Demo
cratic, but the Governor has the We
to power and can prevent any ruin
GUS legislation as the Democrats
haven't sufficient majority to pass
any bill over the Governors veto.
The Republican Governor-elect
will have many important positions
to fill throughout the State, and IL he
Is careful in selecting his men he
can add great credit to his admins
tration. There are 5000 places at
the disposal of the Governor, and
they cover a broad field. The most
important are the Police Board, the
Liquor License Board, the Board of
Police Examiners, the Supervisors of
Elections for Baltimore city and the
counties, the county school boards,
the State Board of Education, the
State Roads Commission, the State
Board Of Health, Automobile Com
missioners, Fire Marshal, Fish Com
missioners, police magistrates for
Baltimore city, civil magistrates for
the city and counties, the Penitenti-
airy Board, House of Correction Board
and all the boards which manage
State institutions. The Governor

MISSOURI HAS A GOVERNOR AND
AN ATTORNEY GENERAL.

On last Tuesday. the Supreme
Court OF the State OF Missouri issued
a writ OF custer against the Harves-
ter Trust, and besides assessed fine
OF ffty thousand dollars against that
monopoly for violating the antitrust
law of the State. This shows that
the State OF Missouri not only has an
antitrust Law with teeth, but that 1t
also has a Governor and an Attorney
General.
The Missouri antitrust law and the
Texas antitrust law were the two
laws that were specially pointed out
and praised by Governor Kitchin in
his campaign for Governor. and he
promised the people. IL elected, that
he would have such an antitrust law
adopted In North Carolina, and that
every trust would be vigorously pros
ecuted.
In this connection. it is also no
ticeable that when the u. S. Govern
ment had prosecuted the American
Tobacco Trust and had succeeded in
having it declared a trust in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law, that
the Acknowledgement of Missouri did
not leave his duties in Missouri and
rush to the scene of action and butt
in and declare for publication that
he was there to see to it that the
Government of the United States did
it's honest duty in dissolving the To-
bacco Trust. Missouri has an Attor-
ney-General who seems to know
where his place is, and what his duty
is, and also seems to know how to
perform it. The Governor of Mis-
souri, is Republican and is doing his
duty in that State, as President Taft
is doing his duty in Washington.

AN INTERESTING STATEMENT
FROM PRESIDENT FINLEY.

Mr.. Finley, the President of tn,
Southern Railway, gave out a few
lays ago an interview in Washing
on which contained some very inter
,sting statements and suggestions. I
s as follows:
'The banks of the Southeast
ern States compare very favor
ably as to soundness and abil-
ity Of management with those
OF any other part Of the coun-
try. This was demonstrated in
the panic OF 1907 and the subse-
duent business depression.
"In the South, as In the
West, a much larger supply of
currency Is needed during the
crop-moving period than at any
other time In the year. The eff
feet Of the present banking sys-
tenn is that, during this crop
moving season and as a result of
this larger demand for. cash, in
terest rates tend to advance and
credit is curtailed, notwith-
standing the fact that the farm
.ers Of the South are bringing
to market hundreds Of millions
ssof dollars worth of cotton and
other products. ON the basis of
which credit should expand
rather than contract.
- Speaking generally. there

ditions tending to, create panics.
hut should also be so framed
40 to meet peculiar sectional re-
Quirements. ~
This does not mean that
legislation should be sectional,
Tor any plan that will enable the
banks OF the South, or OF any
other locality, to meet their sea-
sonal demands for cash and to
expand their credit within safe
limits will be beneficial to the
entire country.
'It is, I believe, to the inter-
est OF the entire country, as
we'll as of the South, that the
banking resources of each To-
cality should be made available
for commercial transactions in
that locality, as far as this can

Gratitude To Jurors

1t was a remarkable scene that was
enacted in the court room Tuesday
afternoon when the verdict In the Boil
ton case was returned finding the de-
fendant not guilty.
Judge Wickham had accompanied
Judge Levering to Waterford In the
early part of the afternoon for an au-
tomobile ride, 1t not being anticipated
that there would be verdict ready
before his return at from 4:3O to $500
o'clock.
At 3:15 o'clock the bell in the Jury
room rang, and Court Bailiff Purcell
answered the summons The state
ment given to him was that verdict
had been reached. There was moth
ing to do, however, but to patiently
wait until the return of Judge Wick
ham.
At $3.50 o'clock Judge Waight went
to the court house aud learning that
Judge Wickham had gone to Water
ford, he got busy with the telephone
to get word to Judge Wickham and
try to intercept him. The informa-
ton obtained was that the automobile
party had left Batemantown on their
return, and it was arranged to stop
them when they reached Frederick
town and inform Judge Wickham that
the verdict was ready. This was done,
and Immediately Judge Levering "cut
loose" his touring car, and made the
run from Fredericktown to Mt. Ver-
non in IL minutes.
Upon the arrival of Judge Wickham
the court room door was unlocked and
1t rapidly filled with people eager 10
hear the verdict, the crowd present
being almost as large as was present
during the arguments of the case.
A wait of few minutes was made
for the coming of Hon. Frank " Ow-

Thereupon Mr.. Howard G. Gates,

conveyed it to Clerk Bermont.
"The clerk will read the verdict"
directed Judge Wickham.
