GREENE AND GAYNOR.
Their Release Matter Calling for
British intervention.

Atlanta Journal.
Outrageous as was the release by a Ca
madam judge Of Greene and Gaynor, the
confederates if not the instigators, of
Oberlin NJ. Carter in his gigantic scheme
of defrauding the United States govern
ment of something like 100000, it was not
entirely unexpected.
The Canadian officials had thrown every
possible obstacle in the way Of the United
states Department of Justice from the very
beginning OF its efforts TO bring these fugi-
tives back from their hiding place TO stand
trial at Savannah.
District Attorney Marion Erwin had
shown UP the shameful manner in which
high officials of Canada sheltered Greene
and Gaynor, instead of aiding the effort
to bring them 10 justice, honest
compliance with the terms of our treaty
with Great Britain would have required
them TO do.
Now ii is said that the exposure of the
methods of the Canadian authorities so ir-
ritated Judge Carron, of the Superior Court
of Quebec that he turned loose Greene and
GaynOr out of spite.
This makes the matter worse, and many
who were at first inclined 10 believe that
the Canadian officials were only over
cautious must now be convinced that they
are corrupt
Ii seems Greene and Gaynor secured
enough booty from United States govern
ment contracts TO enable them TO fix the
officials in Canada who had the power
either to hold or release them.
If they had lost their ill-gotten gains, or

The colored inks were APPLIED to different

were purposely blended into one another

OLD-FASHIONED PRESSES
The lever of the hand press in the old
days was usually worked by the devil -
and if the facts were only known, there are
many metropolitan journalists who re-
ceived their kindergarten training, in
holding public opinion. by working the
lever of a hand press in country news

usually served for an ink plate. 1t was a
favorite practical joke around country
newspaper Offices to place this grave stone
on a chair where a candidate, coming in
to see the editor, would be sure TO sit
down. Once the late Governor James D.
Williams had a pair of his immaculate
jeans pants ruined in this way in the office
Of the Muncie News by joke .perpetrated
by Otto Carmichael, now a well-known
Washington correspondent. A picturesque
feature of a country newspaper office in
the old days was the tramp printer. The
average country-town newspaper usually
employed about five men in printing, but
nearly always they could use an extra
man. If an order for job printing came in.
it necessitated taking one of the men of
the regular work. If one of these timer
ants didn't get work he stopped and gos-
slipped awhile, telling the news from diff
ferent papers over the country, which is
always regarded by newspaper men as an
asset, and the local printers always helped

/ days there was fraternaI feeling among
/ printers, which afterward enabled them

unions in the world.

is that old John Bennett, foreman of the
composing room, never verbally discharged
a printer; he did it by walking up to a
compositor's case and turning out his gas

was not wanted in the future He never Of

only reply being, 81 don't like the color of

a story about George d. Prentiss who, on
numberless occasions, came into the COM
posing room late at night, walked up to the
copy-cutter's desk. looked over the copy
and as he was an old printer himself,
would go up to a vacant case and put an
editorial paragraph into type. He would
tell you about some of the duels George d.
Prentiss used to have. In years gone by
the noted editor had many times distin-
guished himself on the so-called field of
honor. His duels with Governor Foote, of
Mississippi, were frequent and one oc-
casion some little boys had gathered in a
distant apple tree to witness the battle.
The adversaries had just taken position.
when Prentiss turned and yelled: Take
care, little boys; Governor Foote is going
to fire at pretty soon and that is a
dangerous position you have chosen" OF
course all the old itinerants had worked on
the New York Tribune in the early days,
and they would tell how Horace Greedy al
ways wrote his copy on the backs of en-
velopes with quill pen and pokeberry ink
and when the tongues of the envelopes
would get torn off and lost, how the print
ers would curse.

despised-rather he should be envied. He

is that the earth has been compressed, on

hole when il is drawn out OF the ground.
But there is somewhat of a difference be-

WASHINGTON, June 10.-senato1
Hnrna had a long conference with the
PRESIDENT to-day. At the conclusion of
the Interview he talked freely regarding
the published intention of Mr.. Burton.
OF Ohio. to withdraw from the race for
Congress- owing toathe fact that he had
not been permitted to name the chairman
of the District Committee.
II don't want to criticise Mr.. Burton
said the Senator, "but don't believe his
charges are we'll founded, nor do want
to make the subject a national matter
The whole thing is absurd.
Senator Hanna also stated that the
Civil Service Commission had examined
into Mr.. Burton's charges that certain
Federal off1ce-holders in Ohio had taken
an active part In politics ard had failed
to find anything in them that constttu-
ted violation OF the Civil Service law
AS result the President had concluded
not to send letters to the Cleveland Off
Gals consuming them for pernicious ac-
ttvitvl in politics.
With some warmth Senator Hanna said :
1.-THE mere fact that man holds public
office does not necessarily mean that he
should resign his rights of citizenship
The Senator secuted the IDEA OF MS
falling out with the President on this
matter and seemed to feel that he had
been put In false light through Mr..
Burton's action.
Senator Hanna is usually exceedingly
reucent when leaving the White House.
but to-day he spoke freely and had ap-
4parenIty no desire to withhold anything
bearing on this matter. He also discussed
Cuban reciprocity and the coal strike
with the President but he had nothing
to say for publication on these subjects.
