COURTS INADEQUATE.
Alone They Cannot Effectively Control
the Corporations.

Washington. April s--The crea ton CO
a federal administrative Office to SUI
pervise interstate industrial corpora
tions is strongly urged by Herbert
Knox Smith, commissioner of corpora
lions in his annual report. Mr.. Smith
maintains that it is impossible to en-
force effectively any real system of re-
straint upon business through the
courts alone because of the vast COM
pIexity of corporate interests and the
constantly changing business condi-
lions.
AS convincing object lesson on the
need of such an administrative sys-
tenn the commissioner of corporations
points to the disintegrated Standard
Oil and American Tobacco companies.
The purpose of these dissolutions was
broad reform in economic conditions.
And yet Mr. Smith freely declares.
1.-The country has no effective means Of
ascertaining how far the desired reform
will really be carried out. No one can
foresee the future of these new units
in the two great industries. 1t will be
purely an economic and financial pro-
cess. No judicial machinery is adapted
to handle this novel problem

1t must have been a sunny day in
Snow Camp, North Carolina, which
marked the advent of Joseph M.
Dixon to this world for, in spite of
the cold sounding nam of the little
town in which he was born, he is one
of the sunniest and pleasantest men
in Washington. Now at the age
of forty-hve he has attained, en-
tirely through his own efforts. an
enviable reputation as a leader.
In early manhood he 1ourneyed
from his North Carolina home and
took up the study of law in the then
sparsely settled state Of Montana,
locating in Missoula. He grew up
with the country, and soon after
gaining his majority, engaged in the
political fights of his state. From
the state house of representatives he
was sent % Congress and then was
chosen senator.
When Coz. Roosevelt threw his hat
into the ring. his first trouble was to
find the right man to defend 1t and
keep 1t there. That is where the
Montana senator jumped into the ma
tons Hmeligbt, for he was the man
selected to run RoOsevelt's cam
paign.

SHOWING Them UP,
LaE'oIIette Issues a Statement Concern
ing the Flop to Roosevelt.

Lincoln, Neb., April S.-Immediately fol-
lowing Senator LaFollette's departure
from Lincoln Monday morning, for the
third day of his campaign tour in Ne
braska, a statement prepared by the SEN
ator Sunday night was given out by his
secretary, John Hannah, making public
facts in regard to the ''f1opping'' of Gift
ford Pinchot, Medill Mccormick, Governor
Johnson of California, and others from
LaFollette to Roosevelt.
The statement is in the form of a tele-
gram to Rudolph Spreckles of California,
the millionaire reformer, who is leading
LaFollette's fight in that state. 1t is in
tended to meet stories circulated there by
Roosevelt men to discredit the Badger
senator's candidacy for presidnt.
The statement was called forth by a
telegram from Spreckles conveying the
information that Governor Johnson was
using q purported telegram in which
Pinchot is said to seek to faSten the re-
sponsibinty for his change on Walter s.
Houser, LaFollette's campaign manager,
asserting that Houser had consented to
the withdrawal of support from the Wis
consin man to Roosevelt

GRAIN RATES STAND.
The 1. c. c. Declines to Disturb the
Existing Tariff.

Washington, April S.-The Interstate
commerce commission today declined to
disturb the existing through freight rates
on grain in the middle west. The petition
of the Sioux City Terminal Elevator com
pany against the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway and other rail carriers,
was rejected except to certain local
rates. The commission held that as to
the great bulk of its grain tonnage Sioux
City labored under no substantial disad-
vantage.
The existing local rates on grain from
the states of South Dakota, Nebraska,
Minnesota and Iowa to Sioux City were
held to be unrea Sonab1e and the railroads
were given time in which to readjust
them.

in connection with this office is that in

The courthouse has been the scene OF
many famous trials. for 1t was here that
the murderers of Presidents Lincoln and
Garfield were tried. John H. Surratt was
held for many days at the courthouse for
aiding in the murder of Lincoln, and wit
nesses were brought from the several
foreign countries through which he had
been tracked to the courthouse. The
case of Washington man who shot his
wife and her brother in this city present

shots from their homes were held as

witnesses. though they were allowed to
remain at home providing they were al
ways within phone call. The hour finally
came when they were needed on the stand
and none Of them could be found at
home. Eventually it was reported that
one of them had gone to tea at the
house of a congressman's wife. and there
the authorities went. Almost every one
of the ladies' was found at the tea party.
and with very little ceremony they had
to drop their teacups and make their
way to the courthouse
Prior to the erection of the courthouse
the courts had been more or less incon-
veniently accommodated at the Capitol, and
the question of a city hall arose. BY the
lottery privilege the work of erecting the
hall was begun. and August 22. 1870. the
corner stone was laid by the Masons
with a great deal of ceremony. The lot
terry scheme did not prove a great success
financially, for the firm managing this
business was sued in the courts. Conse-
quently the work was retarded. and IL
may be said that it was never entirely
finished. In 1S49 the government appro-
priated $4,000 to reimburse the corpora
ton one-half the cost of the building.
In 1873 Congress appropriated $75.OW
for the city's interest in the building, and
thus it passed into the hands Of the fed
eral government.
