.POWDERLY'S CONCLUSIONS.
He Draws Some Conclusions From
Lemons Case.
GOVERN MENTs OWNERSHIP


NEw YoRK, April 5The Worlds
Scranton lPa-l special says: Grand
Master Workman Powderly was inter-
viewed in regard to the decision In the
case of Engineer Lennon at Toledo.
'srhe decision" said MIR. Powderly.
shows, as have said before, that the
principle Of government ownership Of
railroads Is being recognized BY the
courts While the decision is apparent
II against the men. Il emphasizes our
position that the government has the
right TO supervise the railroads Now,
IL is a poor rule that won't work both
ways
THE interstate commerce law was
passed for the purpose Of controlling
the railroads, but up to date orailroad
has paid any attention to the law. An.
archy OF the worst kind has prevailed.
BY that mean total disregard Of the
law, and that's what the corporations
charge against the anarchists The
courts hold themselves in readiness to
obey the will Of the corporations when
a charge Is made against the workmcn,
| but no effort Is made TO carry out the
mandates Of the law when the provok-
ers Of strilSes, the corporations, violate
| the law.
This is Columbian year. and we have
| invited the representatives Of the
worlds monarchies to visit as, in order
that we might show them how free
people govern themselves They will
90 home with a better idea Of how cas-
| lily people may be governed by few,
while resting under the impression that
they are governing themselves. Since
| the interstate commerce law went into
effect, but one freight agent has been
fined for violation Of its provisions
In speaking Of the effect Of the de-
| cision upon the brotherhood Of Loco
motive Engineers. Mr.. Powderly said:
| II believe that the result viii be that
there will be a change of front and
eventually federation OF all railroad
employees An organization Of railroad
men will then be effected which will
seek not only to protect themselves,
but the country. The members will
take a land in electing judges and
other officials, as at present the
| Judges have it in their power
to oyerrule the will Of the peo-
| pie as expressed by their representa-
tiyes in the legislature. The legisla-
/ lures know better than the Judges the
wishes Of the people, for they come di-
rectly from the people. Many Of the
| judges are not in sympathy with the
common people. We can not afford to
quietly sit down and allow the opinion
of one man to oyerrule the will Of
5000, 900, if expressed by their repre-
sentatives in the state Legislature II
judges are permitted to override laws
made by the people the conditions win
become such that we can not last long
as free people. Such an idea would
be preposterous. /"

An ONCE Hunter Wants 70 Pay the Preai-
dent for Time Lost.
WASHINGTON, April B. Some Office
seekers are more ingenious than others,
while some injure their future pros
poets by indiscretion. A letter was re-
ceived at the white house from an APP
plicant for q small post office. The
writer of the letter evidently wanted
an appointment badly. He was a
modest, but evidently unsophisticated
place hunter, for in addition to offering
q profuse apology for bothering the
president with such q trifiing matter,
he incloscd $40 note,
lii explanation, he said that he knew
that the presidents time was occupied
with other more important matters,
and II he stopped 10 consider the sub
ject in question, he would probably de-
prive the country Of his services during
the period so occupied. The $40, ii was
explained, was to tlefray the expenses
for any time lost by the president in
the transaction. Private Secretary Thur
Der. to whom the letter was referred,
was at first disposed to be indignant
that a bribe should be offered the
president OF the United States He
finally concluded that the applicant
was perfectly sincere, but inexperi-
enced He therefore returned the ap-
plicatlon and the money 70 the sender
