THROW IN THE JOLLY
Territorial Pioneers Bid Wlther-
spoon Farewell


w. E. Witherspoon, the new city
passenger representative of the Min
neapolis & st. Louis, takes hold of his
position in this city today Yesterday
he was busy receiving congratulations
at Minneapolis, where he is now sta
toned. Among those who called on
him was a committee from the Terri
torial Pioneers association.
The committee gathered in the office
and chatted pleasantly with the rail-
road official Finally little girl came
signaled for Mr.. Witherspoon to come
to her. He hastily arose and followed
her.
When the door closed behind the
pair one of the pioneers whispered to
another: That's Bills granddaughter.
Fine girl, hey?"
"BilPs older than he looks" ventured
another. 81 remember when I was
quite boy he was playing in the same
company with Mrs. Gilbert, and she is
ninety-two years old now
AT this point in the conversation Mr..
Witherspoon came back and the rem
iniscences ceased.
After the veterans had gone h e
G o b man asked Mr.. Witherspoon If
the child was his granddaughter, and
he laughed nervously and replied that
she was not.
The new official of the ST Louis is
almost as we'll known in st. Paul as he
is in Minneapolis. He has been in the
railroad business all his life and has
risen to his present position by reason
of his own efforts.
He is noted as a wit of the new
school and has gained some reputation
as a contributor to magazines on tech

THE SHAME OF WISCONSIN,

The Indictment that Lincoln Steffens
has brought against the stalwarts of
Wisconsin is sharp and true. The
mere fact that Senator Spooner char
acterizes the article by Steffens in Nc
Cures as "a pack of lies" does not
help the situation. 1t, may be that the
arraignment by Steffens will not help
the La Toilette cause, but it should
serve to remind the people of the Bad
ger state of the conditions which they
have permitted to exist in their gov
eminent for many years.
Steffens says that Spooner is the
beneficiary of the grossest political cor
ruption. He insinuates rather plainly
that the senator is the representative
of certain great interests in the United
States senate There is that in the
record of Spooner which gives color to
the statement. Senator Spooner is a
brilliant man and resourceful poll
tician. It has not been proved against
him that he bought his way into the
United States senate, but there is
plenty of evidence that he permitted
the patronage Of those who. made it
their business to buy legislative votes
in support of men whose friendly offices
might be depended on Sin the senate.
Philetus Sawyer was perhaps the first
: of the Wisconsin senators to reduce
politics to a commercial basis. He was
rich and ambitious for more riches.
He made no difficulty about admitting
the claim of the corrupt legislator that
he was entitled to pay for his vote
when that vote was to be applied to
the advancement of man who ex-
pected to make money out of his posi-
ton as senator. His campaigns We're
cold commercial propositions, spooner
was his protege. The latter most as
saredly benefited by the knowledge,
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-10-01

power and wealth Of Sawyer in his
earlier years. La Toilette was pro-
'tege of Sawyer. 1t was the willy PHI
ietus who first recognized the strength
of young La Toilette. The elder poll
tician procured for La Toilette his first
nomination and election to congress.
When the young congressman kicked
over the traces he astonished Sawyer
beyond expression. Since that time La
Toilette has been without the pale of
orthodox Republicanism in Wisconsin,
but as politician he has for years
survived by the system of spoiis and
corruption which Sawyer and the eld-
ers had countenanced.
The exposures that were made I'M
der the Peck regime resulted in hum
dreds of thousands of dollars that had
been distracted from the state treas
ury being returned to it. In very des-
peration the old gang had TO go deep
in their pockets and get Republicans
back into power in the state. Both
Spooner and La Toilette profited by
the need of the spoi1smen. Both went
into office-Spooner because he was
close to the men who held the purse
strings, La Toilette because he was
useful. Until his political salvation
was at stake La Toilette tolerated the
domination of Spooner. Quarles and
the other representatives of the old
idea in party politics. When he re-
VOTED it was to save himself from
threatened extinction.
Steffens has given to the world a
story that needed no exploitation in
Wisconsin. Its publication at large
may have the effect of arousing the
people of the state but it will not Grip
pie the stalwarts. The dollar does not
shrink because it was dishonesty made,
and the strength of the stalwarts is in
their bank accounts. La Toilette will
probably be defeated, and he ought to
be defeated; because by the very adj
missions of Steffens he uses the same
system of patronage and fayoritism for
which he berates his opponents, to build
UP and maintain his own machine. But
the exposures that have been made in
the present campaign will put the Re-
publican party in Wisconsin out of Of
| flee and back in the situation it occu-
pied when Philetus Sawyer first in
quired how much a head legislators
were worth.

RAPID TRANSIT FOR MAIL

There is one form of communication
over considerable distances that has
made surprisingly small progress as
compared with the improvements man
ifested in other directions. While the
electric railway has grown from GU
riosity to a universal utility, and while.
the management of companies con-
cerned in electric transit can scarcely
keep pace with mechanical invention
and Improvement, the pneumatic tube
still remains an almost unused BUSH
ness adjunct, except in the largest of
our cities. The announcement that
the construction of such tube be-
tween Chicago and Milwaukee is
planned marks a step which we should
have expected to see taken long ago.
The pneumatic tube as means of
transmitting packages over consid-
cradle distance has so many advan-
tages over other methods that one can
not but wonder at it's slow progress
toward general adoption. The plant is
costly to construct, but once in place
the expense Of operation is only trifie.
Space and time are conquered more
completely than by any other device. A
few seconds suffice for plunging the
rolling ball that carries packages
through the tube a distance of many
miles upon it's way The only outlay is
that for maintaining a comparatively
trifing plant for the application of
pneumatic power. There is no road
bed, no rolling stock except the bali
that runs through the tube, and there
are no employees except the few needed
to manipulate the mechanism at the
different stations. The pneumatic tube
certainly has big future of its own.
The value of compressed air. as
motive power is slowly forcing itself
to the front. The difficulties of apply
ing and controlling it without adding
enormously to the weight of vehicle
will probably for long time prevent
its application to motor cars. It has
been used, however, to great advantage
in the propulsion of street cars abroad,
and successful experiments were made
with it in New York city. But the
pneumatic tube is different. Being OPP
Grated from a stationary plant, these
objections are removed. We wonder
for one thing that no company has
been organized heretofore to conduct a
business by pneumatic tube between
st. Paul and Minneapolis. 1t would
supersede an enormous amount of work
now done by telegraph and telephone.
by express and by freight carriage. 1t
would make instantaneous communica-
ton between the two cities and would
be benefit to them both. The proba-
| bilities are that it would pay hand
somely. The project is worthy the Sc
rious consideration OF capital.

erously used in everyday discussion,
seldom finds man to whom it can be
deservedly applied We use it frankly
in the case of Senator Hoar, who was
found worthy to wear the title. He
was good man, patriotic American
and a statesman, owning the same
lofty lineage as the great men of New
England who contributed in an earlier
age So much to shape the ideas and the
destinies of the republic. All Ameri-
cans. regardless of party Or race or
creed or political policy, will join in
tribute of reverent praise and gratitude
and feel a common sorrow above the

DAVIDSON is HEARD
Primate Addresses theBrother.
hood of St. Andrew

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 30.-The
feature of today's proceedings of the
annual conference of the Brotherhood of
Sd Andrew was the presence of the arch
bishop of Canterbury DR.. Davidson. He
attended the conference of the junior
members of the brotherhood. Only dele
gates to the convention were admitted.
Following the conference the archbishop
addressed the members of the brother
hood. He said:
Your kindness has emphasized to me
lish and American branches of the church
and the almost oneness of our kindred
nations. l am glad that the misunder-
standing of a hundred odd years ago IS
driven happily and blessedly, and, please
God, permanently away from our hearts
and from our minds But, speaking now
related countries, Gods care of our
church in the past years and centuries is
a memory and a knowledge as dear to
you as it is dear to us.
force there is in your country until this
afternoon when / faced the thousands of
boys who compose the junior department
of your brotherhood. If all these youth
be inculcated with the principles for
which your brotherhood stands what
must it mean to America and next to
England and all the civilized world TWEEN
ty or thirty years hence? Half a century
ago the common answer to the question
as to what was the first duty of a Chris
tan would invariably have been the saw
ing of his own soul. Now, in the wider
range of view which virtually all men
possess, it is generally recognized that
no man should think of himself; that is,
each IS not only responsible for the say
ing of his own soul but for helping the
common life with which he has daily
to do.
DR.. Davidson concluded by commend
ing the brotherhood for its religious and
humanitarian work.
A report increasing the number of
members of the general council from 80
to so was adopted. The report recon-
mended that the newly elected members
of the grand council be empowered to in
crease the membership to fifty as neces-
sity may require. This recommendation
was also adopted. Among the forty-one
members of the general council elected to-
day are Hector Baxter, of Minneapolis,
and G. E. Hammond, of Milwaukee.

Railroad News
TRANSFER SHOWS
A LARGE DEFICIT
AnnualReport indicates a Loss
of Over Half a Million
Dollars

The annual statement of the Mime
sofa Transfer Railroad company was
filed yesterday with the railroad COM
mission. The statement shows that the
company had gross income last year
of $50,916 from all sources. -
The operating expenses of the COM
pany however, were $509,36S, which
leaves a deficit of $45S,452. The deficit
is further increased by the items Of in
terest on the funded debt of the COM
pany and taxes charged against the
property. These items make a total
of $6S,7SS, and added to the deficit of
earnings, makes a grand total of $527,-
240 for the year.
This amount was paid by the rail-
road companies which own the transfer
company Jointly.
The showing is said to be not bad
one when the amount of valuable
service performed by the road is con-
sidered. The transfer company has few
and meager sources of income and is
we'll thought of as an investment by
its owners in spite of the heavy def
icit.

AMERICANS SUFFER
FROM MAIL ROBBERY
Sacks for the United States Are Plum
dered in France

PARIS, Sept. SO.-A bold robbery
was committed last evening on mail
car, between Paris and Havre, contain
ing American mail One car was en-
tirely given up to mail for the United
States. There were about 100 mail
pouches on this car, which was sealed
and heavily locked. On arriving at
Rouen early this morning it was found
that the American mail car had been
broken open and that the pouches were
in great disorder. Ninety-one bags had
been opened and their contents rifled
of such va1uables as they might have
contained. There is no records of their
contents or of the valuables distracted.
The robbery was reported to the
postal authorities here and inspectors
were detailed to investigate it. Thus
far they have found no clew. Inquiry
of American forwarding and banking
concerns shows that they are not
among the losers.

pRoMoTlNe eAYErY

There IS some JOY IN llVlng IN these
days of the acrobatic politician. No
funnier contribution to contemporaries
Gus gayety has been offered US than
the spectacle presented by the man
ayers of Mr.. Dunn's campaign-and
this is said with due regard for the
star work of the candidate himself.
For Mr.. Dunn has been lodging the
knife of the enemy who walks in the
guise of friend. With no other de-
Tense than his agility and his umbrella
he has been sidestepping Brutus at
every corner; lean and office-hungry
Cassius has fingered behind each lamp
post And he stood by his declaration
that he had rather go to hades with
his friends than to victory with his
enemies" until it began to look as
though he would be chased thither by
his enemies. Then his fool friends I'M
dertooR the guarding of him. They
would be at it still if the candidate
had not threatened to bring suits
against them for libel. When he came
to close quarters with his friends and
saw what he had to deal with he went
after his enemies and took them to his
throbbing and bleeding bosom. They
are nesting there now and some of the
friends are taking the road to hades
alone.
There is Joel Heatwole, who had
Wanted his intention of dying in the
last ditch with the truculent Mr.. Dunn.
He would still be in the last ditch if
Dunn had not moved it out from I'M
der him. And there again is Jim"
Martin, the st. Cloud wonder, who led
the Collins contingent to defeat that
cleft the g. o. p. in twain, occupying
feathered nest in the same ditch with
Dunn, distributing promises of patron
age to the men who fought Dunn in
the preconyention days and dwelling
in the smiles of the senatorial chiefs.
The men who hurried themselves into
places of power at the right hand of
the candidate, have all been desired to
get to cover to the end that the con-
verts may not be scared off. They
know, too, that Mr.. Martin is human
very human it would appear-and who
knows that he will not mistakenly
train some of the big guns he is man
ming on certain lofty personages?
1t is not clear that Mr.. Dunn has
helped his case at all, but he has in
some sort re-established himself as a
good fellow by making the outsider
laugh. His friends outside his official
family will be somewhat concerned
though about the future line of action
of the men who have been thrown over
the breastworlxs for knitting him. They
may conceive the waggish idea that
the snickersnee is a more effective
weapon than the knife and become in
! terested in the active work of chop
ping off his members instead of prod
ding him with stage daggers.
