Indoor baseball, which Is today one

fun when one OF the other members,
George w. Hencock, suddenly exclaim-
ed, "Say fellows, what's the matter
with all of us getting in on this? Let's
have a game OF ball"
"A diamond was laid on the floor and
IL lively game OF scrub" took place.
THE broom handle was broken off and
used as bat and the old boxing glove

better success at Fairview than any
Of the older teams from Fairmont. The
Flaming school last night won from
the Fairview public school five in a
close game. The Fleming school team
will go to Morgantown soon to meet
the team that the Miller school boys
defeated recently. If the Fleming team
can win from the Morgantown boys
they will be nearly equal with the Mil

FEDERAL RAILWAY RULE

John Davis of the legal firm of Da-
Wis, johnson & Golden of Dallas, Tex
as, in a letter to Hon. John H. Kirby
of Houston, discussed the conflict of
State and National authority in trans
portation. Mr.. Davis says:
"'Equal rights to all and special
privileges to none,' is the epitome of
the Democracy to which l subscribe.
/ believe that you are as sincere as |
am in your devotion to the preserva-
ton of the right of the several States
to govern and control their local af-
fairs, as may seem best to each of
them. There are many rights and
powers which must be left to the con-
troll of the several States, if we are
to perpetuate the life of this Repub-
lie. However, it necessarily follows
that problems of national concern
must be solved by the National Gov
eminent, under one authority, rather
than by numerous conflicting author
tiles. And it seems to me that one of
the primary internal or domestic prob
lens is the regulation of commerce, or
to be more specific, the regulation of
the transportation facilities handling
the commerce, among the several
States.
"It is generally conceded, and be-
lieve correctly, that the National Con-
rgess, by and through proper instru-
mentalities, may supervise and con-
troll all transportation concerns hand
ling interstate traffic, to the exclusion
of the several States. The fact that
such power and authority may have
remained dormant for many decades
at least in part, is no good and suffi-
Gent reason why the Congress may
not now exercise these rights. We
have grown, conditions have changed
and if this power exists in Congress
why not invoke it, if it be necessary
to bring order out of chaos, and to thu
end that the several communities
throughout the United States may re
ceive their dues, but no more? Be
cause of the numerous conflicts of au
thority in matters of rates, it is claim
ed that some communities and somt
States force the transportation com
panies to perform services for al
amount less than the real cost Of sucl
service, and that it necessarily fol
lows the transportation companies
must compel their communities o
States, through which they operate
to contribute more than a fair shar,
to the maintenance of such companies
That such conditions exist is a mat
ter of common knowledge. And in thu
i very nature of things such conditions
