HISTORY OF
SANTA FE
CASE TOLD

Washington, Dec iS.-Some important
history concerning the action of the gov
ernment against the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Re Railway company was
made public yesterday by authority OF
President Roosevelt.
IL was I'm the form OF two letters under
date OF the 18th and 18th inst, respective
ly, the one being written by Attorney
General Moody and the other by the presi-
dent. The letters quote court decisions
and contain considerable information con-
cerning the action OF the president and
the attorney general in the Santa Fe
case. particularly with reference to the
work of the special counsel. Messrs. Har-
mon OF Cincinnati and Judson OF ST.
Louis, who were employed by the gov
ernment to inquire into the facts OF the
case and who subsequently withdrew
from IL because their recommendations as
TO the prosecution of the Santa Fe offi-
Gals were not adopted.
The history OF the Santa Fe case Is re-
viewed In the letter by Mr.. Moody and
the attorney generals position Is ap-
proved by the president In the second
"You direct me-" the attorney general
reports, Ito furnish you with concise
history OF the case against the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railway company,
In which that company was charged with
portation OF coal for the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company. statement OF the
bearing OF the recent decision OF Judge
Phillips Of the circuit court OF the United
States for the western district or Mis-
souri upon the case and especially upon
the action which you have heretofore
taken respecting It,"
The attorney general recites the inves-
tigation and report of the Interstate COM
merce commission. which report suggest
ed that the roads practice was In viola
tion OF a restraining order issued against
the railway company in March. 1902, upon
Q bill In equity brought by the United
States.
The attorney general reported TO the
president that proceedings under the re-
s.raining order could not be maintained
'l1nder ordinary conditions" the letter
continues, 1.-The advice which l gave you
probably would have been regarded by
you as conclusive against the undertake
Ing OF any action based upon the restrain
ing order.
"But the circumstances were extraordi-
nary and very great public interest In the
case existed, aroused by the fact that
Mr.. Morton. n member OF your cabinet
had been vice president OF the railway
company charged with the management
OF the traffic during a part OF the time
in which the practices complained OF con-
tnued.
"I therefore suggested the employment
OF special counsel or eminence and you
directed their employment"

THE ENTERPRISE BANK

THE Enterprise Bank affair prom
4 ises TO prove one OF the greatest
scandals Of this generation and seems
10 involve the rehypothecation Of Sc
curitles. II is charged that certain
stocks pledged for loans have been used
again and are now held by other banks.
The government is aroused by the
disclosures. and the appeal Of Cover
nor Pennypacker to the President is
likely to bear fruit in searching in
vestigation that will bring to light the
real facts
II reveals no new phase OF the Penn
sylvania system. 1t is merely repe-
tition of the old story. The public
moneys OF Pennsylvania are used for
political purposes. Immense sums are
deposited with favorite banks with lit
tie regard to their soundness and on
the understanding that certain loans
are to be made to favorlte members OF
the gang.
When Quay was alive he controlled
the disposition OF the State funds. and
the failure OF the Peoples Bank OF
Philadelphia and the suicide Of Cash
ier Hopkins seems to have been the
result.
Now IL is charged that the Enter
prise Bank failure is from the same
eause, only another Senator appears
to have been at the bottom OF H. Quay
pleaded the salute Of limitations. and
Pennsylvania is to build a great mon-
luemnt to him. In this instance il is
to be hoped that the statute has not
begun to run. Another monument may

coon IDEA

THE Every Evening. commenting on
4 the news item to the effect that
the leaders OF the two political parties
Of Elmira, New York, have signed an
agreement not to spend a dollar for
corrupt purposes IN the approaching
election, urges that the same agree
ment be made in Delaware next year.
It is good suggestion, and we cam
not see how any honest man could op-
pose IT, OF course such an agreement
would not mean the absolute eliml-
nation OF bribery, for you cannot pledge
every member OF the party; but the
greatest amount contributed almost in
varabiy passes through the hands OF
the committee. and that could be cut
on.
Yes; why not try it, for we should
have the assurance OF a vast improve

that they have made suhicient
answer when they say: "Oh. you can't
get along without buying certain
number Of votes" but as long as we
assent to that. debauchery win con-

Here is a question that we put
plainly Shall the honest Republicans
and honest Democrats be submerged
by the dishonest element in both
parties2 For II all the decent men OF
both parties we're to determine that the
elimination OF bribery is OF more i'm
portance than the election Of any par
ticular ticket, that would practically
put an end to election corruption.
1t has been suggested that in the
next campaign a league be formed
composed Of all who are opposed TO
asr1bery, regardless Of their politics. and
that the duty of the members be 20
