Vale Free Passes.

1t seems that the railroads have
adopted a plan for ending the "free
pass" nuisance without waiting for
legislation. Hitherto it is said TO have
been . custom for the railroad com.
panies to supply passes not only to
State, but sometimes to county and
other municipal officers, and even TO
committeeman and candidates engaged
in campaign work. An Oregonian cor
respondent says that the campaign
officers OF both State committees have
been required to pay fare, this year,
and at the respective State headquar-
tiers means are being taken for pro-
viding a fund that has hitherto been
rendered unnecessary by the gener.
osity of corporations.
The correspondent says that Chair
man Morrison, OF the Republican
State Committee, spent several days
in making out list of Republican
speakers and politicians for whom
passes were desired. He received an
immediate response from the railroad
managers that, under no circumstances
would passes be issued.
There has been, however, an excep-
ton made of the Republican Congress
sional candidates, Humphrey, Cush-
man and Jones, and the reason as
scribed by the correspondent il, that
the railroad people regard them as
sure of election. He says, likewise,
that when the company's attorney was
asked regarding this concession, he
said: "Well. give Humphreys pass
and put him on record with those
other fellows" and tho quotation is
considerably modified in its manner OF
expression, as it here appears in print.
Those other fellows" were Cushman
and Jones, who fought the railroads
in the State Convention.
It requires wonderful exhibition OF
gall for party that has entered upon
o seemingly earnest crusade against
any corporation to ask favors of any
sort from the same people they are
subjecting to discipline. It may be,
however, that the Republicans will
pay a. little heed to their commission
plank ~ they have to their free pass
resolution which has always been in
the platform to catch votes. It looks
as If this time railroads discover in
Gov. McBride's utterances an iutona-
ton which means trouble for the lob.
byists in the next Legislature.
Corporations are but human, and il
would require superhumsn endurance
not to kick, under the circumstances.

That Settles It.

Henry Cabot Lodge lately declared
in o speech before the Essex Club. in
Boston, that the removal of tariff on
trust-made goods would be most de-
structive to competitors OF the trusts,
and least so to the trusts themselves"
That might be true if there were any
competitors that the trusts do not con-
troll, or may not control for the mere
exertion to do so. That it is not .
true statement OF the proposition is A.
plain a. that two and two make four,
or that water cannot be made to run
uphill, or any other automatic demon
stration. 1t does not seem, however,
that Mr.. Lodge should prostitute his
genius in an effort to aid partisan ends
by subver.ing the plainest rules of rea.
son.
If there had been power in the
hands of the President" he says, to
send q commission to the coal regions
and hear all that is to be said on both
sides, there would have teen no strike
or lockout" This is, OF course, the
opinion of Mr.. Lodge, adapted to fit
party necessity. But as his former
premise, that tariff duty which en-.
abies capital to entrench itself behind
impregnable walls. is so weak, what
confidence can be placed in a sugges-
ton, or supposition, which does not
even have premise to support it?
The fact is that Mr.. Lodge has en-
tered upon specific contract to carry
Mr.. Roosevelt to victory on a hypo-
thetical state OF conditions which de.
pend solely on his own individuality
for acceptance.

The Yaqui Indians of Mexico
have finally heen vanquished. For
many years this treacherous tribe,
numbering some two or three
thousand, have had almost full
sway throughout the greater por-
ton of the state of Sonora in the
extreme northwest of Mexico. o.
casional attempts have been made
by Mexican soldiers to drive them
out capture or annihilate them,
but the topography of the vast
areas of country inhabited by them
seems so we'll adapted to their
protection that, beyond killing a
few from time to time, the soldiers
have never met with any marked
degree of success until the deter
mined pursuit and battles Of last
June and July.
In this war several hundred were
killed, some were permitted to lay
down their arms and go to work
and about one thousand have been
deported by the Mexican authori-
ties to the state of Yucatan, which
is nearly two thousand miles south
east from Sonora. There were few
farmers among them and in fact
considerable number Of Yaqui In
dams owned beautiful and valuable
Aaeiendas along the Yaqui river,
but whenever there has been an
uprising among the wandering
members of the tribe these farmers
have assisted or joined their breth-
rem.
Sonora is rich in silver and other
minerals, as we'll asin agriculture,
but except near Guaymas and
Hermosillo, there has never been
much development in that state
owing, chiefly, to the treacherous

The Central Howard Association of Chicago is
steadily charging it's sphere of usefulness and it is
pleasure to note is universally accorded the credit
it deserves. True charity and friendship helps men
to help themselves, and to assist ex-prisoners to
their own living is the principal object of the
Howard Association.
The report for the first quarter of 1902 shows
that SO prisoners applied to the Association for aid
in finding employment after their release. OF this
number work was found for Sc men, of whom So
hold permanent positions and are doing we'll. Those
who apply to the Association usually men with
out friends who could help them to find work. and
are those who, unless aided by some such organiza-
tion, stand good chance Of being forced by cir
cumstanoes into criminal ways, however much they
may wish to live honestly That the great majority
of such ex-prisoners make good citizens when they
are given fighting chance has been proved con-
clusively The Central Howard Association is doing
splendid work and should receive every encourage
ment from public spirited men and women.

ST. LOUIS women's club has done an extraord-
nary thing. That is nothing, (somebody will say all
womens clubs do extraordinary things. So they do.
Most extraordinary But this particular club in this
particular instance has seen fit to actually counte-
and condone suicide by passing resolutions to
the effect that under certain conditions is permits
sible if not laudable.
Anything that could be said at this late date in
condemnation of self-destruction would be trite.
Christianity forbids it, common sense condemns it;
the spirit of the age frowns upon it. It is uni
versally regarded being beyond the pale of nor
mality and reason that insurance companies admit
that any person taking his life must necessarily
be insane and where such an one has carried life
insurance the company at settles with his ben
efciaries In other words it is taken for granted
that to attempt to take ones own life is b,1a ace
evidence of insanity.
The action of the ladies of the Clothes Club of
st. Louis is meretricous in the extreme. There are
highly strung, poorly balanced persons to whom the
suicide of another acts almost hypnotic sugges-
ton to take their own lives In many cases the
principal restraint upon them is public opinion and
to willfully tear down this support of sanity is an
ofense against the entire community. The Clothes
Club had better disband and try homework for
awhile.
