Throogh a sub-committee the Sen-kte- Judiciary commlttei will lnveatl gata tha authority by which President Rooeevelt permitted ha absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com pany by the Cnlted Ktatea Steel Cor poration in apparent violation of tha Sherman anti-truat law. Thia is the proper and constitutional procedure. The I'resident certainly took a great deal upon himself in the matter. Ills own statement niakea, out a very poor wise for the expediency of the rftep e.en as a temporary antl-papic meas ure and none at all for its legality. From a Southern alandpolnt the merger licensed by him Is beyond question unfortunate. Alabama steel and iron lm c lost their identity with the interests of Alabama and South at larpe and have been con demned to follow auch lines of de ' eloprnent as the interests of a trust entred Wst'Where may dictate. Al i.a.iy Pittshtir' has been made the basing point oti prices (freight rates taken into account) for Birmingham thus virtually removing Alabama furnaces, so far as Southern industry in general is concerned, to th njoun tains of western Pennsylvania. We trust that tha committee will go to j the iott( m of the matter, both as to i Its leijal and Its practiial aspects. The investigating .-.uh-committee. of which Senator Overman is a member. Is able and conscientious. And It should be kept In mind that oen If a well deserved rebuke from the committee leaves President Roosevelt and his Attorney General unmoved th effect upon President Taft and his Attorney (lenerul of the facts brought out may be quite different. 1 N VKSTH; ATI N(; Til K SlyF.I THS. It will feel queer to the Secret serv ice, the greatest Investigating agency in this country, to I,! Investigated it self.

The country wishes io leurn much about the secret police that It does not know and mcuientailv to lenrn Just how far the President let his personal hostility toward Sen ator Tillman Influence aim in direct ing espionage against the J-enator. Ne. esaary though a service of this na ture Is, abuses arising from It should be wal" bed for and avoided with pe culiar vigilance. Perhaps It should be placed under divided control, Con gress, becoming responsible for any espionage upon Us own members. The Investigation should throw light upon these points. Let the In vest igtt ln committee be prompt, thorough and, as nearly as possible, Impartial.

Aaalon In .Matter That Is of Vital Importance to Public HealUu To the Editor of The Observer: Please allow me through your col umns to endorse the movement of the petitioners to Mayor T. 8. Franklin, and the public authorities, ln regard to a better drainago. of Sugar creek, in and .near the City of ; Chajrlotte. And also a petition of the citfzena of the southern portion of the city, em bracing Dtlworth and Atherton, re cently presented to the grand Jury, on the same subject. Knowing that the drdlnege conditions in tne aforesaid seitioi.s were bad, and all the time bediming worse and more extended, and thinking many of opr citizen were Seflertng Ill-health therefrom, I have so fnr as I could, endeavored direct the attention rf the public to the fait ns I saw It, first by rais ing a committee, memorializing a (ormT board of aldermen of the City of Charlotte on the Bubjeot, and, secondly, by privately endeavoring to emphuslze the fact that some of the sickness in Cnurlotte was attributable to a lin k i f prcper drainage, and much more might be expected if the unsanitary conditions of the low lands upon ..ur creeks and branches were not remedied. 1 find no fault with uny one that I did not succeed In my efforts to bring about a change; but I do not. however, regret that I have persistently pursued the sub ject, for 1 am convinced that there are many now arriving at a proper consideration of this drainage ques tion, that a betterment may soon be expected. I wish to be understood as endowing any sensible and prac tical plan of surface draining of the creeks on either side of. our progres sive city, an. I the branches in and m"r. tin- city There Is plenty of natuia! fall in the grade to do so, and ll we do our duty, there is no reason for sickness in Charlqtte, from a lack of drainage. This question of drainage involving that of health Is more Important to our city at this time than making more bltulithlc pav ing or any other .issue now In evi dence. In this matter and ail others I wish to do my duty as a citizen, and for the accomplishment of so great betterment I would aid by cheerful ly . ancellng a bond I hold against the city of Charlotte Tor damages accruing from the building of au elevated sewer, pay my share of taxes, and assessments, and aid in every nay possible.

Pell, Lis. B., of the Winston-Salem, N. C., Bar." It Is claimed by those in position to know that no annotations of the pub lic statute of any of the Southern States are comparable to this work in fulness and practical usefulness, and the mechanical get-up Is especial ly admirable and will add materially to the fine reputation already enjoyed by Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogswell for doing work of this class. The publication is in two volumes of about l.sOO pages each, and there is not a line of padding. Jt is stated that between 40,000 and 60,000 ref erences were examined Into In making the annotations and over 30,000 cases are cited. -North Carolina lawyers who have made examination of the advance sheets seem to be well pleased. Chief Justice Clark writes that it "is a ne cessity to every lawyer in the State," and that 'It Is cheap at any price," as does also Associate Justice Hoke. I'nlted Ptates District Attorney Hoi ton, of the western district, writes that it is "the most thorough and complete digest of our decisions on the statute law ever offered to the public, and Is worth ten times Its cost." The Hon. A. H. Eller, Democratic State chairman and a lawyer of ability, says: "As a labor and tlme-uavlng work it has no equal." while Messrs. Watson, Buxton & Watson, and Man ley & Ifcndren, the two leading law firms of Winston-Salem, declare It "Invaluable to every practicing law yer."
