Craven of Bisbee, issued a proclamation today calling up- on all business houses as far as possi- ble. to close on Monday between noon and four o'clock, D. m., out of respect to F. O. Rouzer and wife, whose funera! will take place at Phoenix on Monday afternoon"

PATERNALIsN OF THE COURT.
PasshOlder obtains Verdict for In
juries In Railroad Accident.

Many people will naturally be surprised
at recent decision OF the appellate court
in awarding damages to a railroad pas
senger who had been injured in acct
dent. The plaintiff was travelling from
Chicago to Erie, Pa, on the Pennsylvania
railroad on a railroad pass, but brought
suit for damages. He was awarded 5000
by the jury. but the court cut it down to
$1,000 and the appellate court affirmed the
judgment.
This looks at first sight hike the height Of
ingratitude and injustice. 1t appears TO
have been the same as IL person invited
friend to dinner and the guest should
afterward sue the host for damages on the
| chicken bone or contracted dyspepsia from
eating the mince pie. 1t was not, however.
necessarily the same.
A great many people travel on railroad
passes who pay a fair price for them. the
only difference being that they do not pay
money. This passenger may have been con-
Quoting some business enterprise In which
the railroad company was interested or it
Is possible that he was an employe Of tine
railroad. Evidently the legal obligations
of the company would he different in such
a case from what they would be where the
pass was a courtesy pure and simple.

THE CANAL AND PRIVATE PROFIT T.
If the Panama canal is constructed
by private contract, there will GER
tainly have to be private profit, and
that profit will have to be proportioned
to the peculiar risks involved in ell
matte and other special conditions, in
Guiding the risk of governmental inter-
ference. But the consideration in
favor of contract is the hope, in spite
of private profit. to make the work
cheaper and more expeditions than il
attempted by the government directly.
The one thing that the public is inter-
ested in is to have the work thus
done and that the private profit, what
which the original complications with
the subsidized Pacific railroads still
causes no small sensitiveness.
The tendency in all great public
works like the Chicago drainage canal
and harbor improvements is to secure
to the public by private contracts the
benefit of the incentive which the
chance of profit imparts. The great
safeguard developed to secure honesty
is the agreement between government
and contractor on actual cost, the per-
centage of profit on that basis being
fixed by competition, as notably Illus
trated in the Chicago drainage work,
is to be employed in the Panama en-
terprise. OF course such a safeguard
is not infallible. but like any fortifca-
ton depends upon it's defenders. Its
very conditions, however. repel dis
honest and irresponsible contractors,
who will have no doubt OF the pur-
pose and ability of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration to enforce the contract
and protect the public interest.
1t Is noteworthy how universal is the
consensus of competent opinions that
the government has hit upon the most
feasible plan of securing the propelling
forces of enterprise with the security
of pubic supervision.

A RArLRoAp AS pROsEcUroR.

Proceedings brought in the United
States court by the Wisconsin Cen
trail against FIVE OF the western
roads having lines in Wisconsin
for violation of the free pass
prohibition in the new national rate
law furnish both novel and a hopeful
sign for the enforcement of this legis-
lation. All the roads involved in this
case had accepted the unanimous opin-
ion OF their attorneys that the grant
grafton agents would be plain viola
ton, not only of the free pass pro-
vision, but also of the prohibition
against determinations, and had
agreed to issue no such passes. Here
tofore, when one road violated a legal
requirement, its competitors, to pre-
vent harm to themselves, have ordi-
naTily committed the same offense in
stead of prosecuting the offender to
compel obedience to the law. and in
this case, in spite of their agreement
first one road and then another be-
gan to issue passes to land immlgra-
tion agents. The Wisconsin Central,
however. is making a show of stand
ing out against the passes and appar-
emily seeking protection against it's
law-breaking competitors by enforce
ment of the penalties at its own suit
OF course IL is possible that this is
simply a piece of friendly litigation by
agreement among the roads to get the
law emasculated by the courts or to
get at least a judicial Interpretation
on which they might rely, but even
thus the situation would indicate d
change of attitude from the customary
law defiance formerly INDUCED by
the railroad representatives.
The maximum penalty for each Of
Tense charged is a $4,000 fine, or two
years imprisonment, or both, and also
the swifter protection by injunction.
Not only is the law ampler and Sc
verer, but there is also now a
vitalizing public sentiment, perme-
ating courts and iuries and prose-
cutting officers. But in no point has
the situation so significantly changed
as in that whereby selfish railroad in
terest may be united to public inter
est for the enforcement of regulatory
railroad law.

the states attorney has just performed the
exciting stunt of turning into the city

lected by his ONCE in two years, in &C
cordance with his election promise.

vow to drive Hearst and his myrmidons

him.. The doughty Texan says that he will

Plat has disposed of his fortune and lie

$50, 900 a year, which he gets as president

annum that he draws for representing the
Empire state in the most dignifed legis-
lative body on earth.
Robert Baker, the former "no-pass' con-
gresham from Brooklyn, is a candidate
for another term. Since his platform
against passes, which caused him to be
set down as a crank, has since been adopted
by the leading railroads, it seems as II
Baker should now be the corporations
conservative and sane candidate.
The woman candidate for congress in
Texas on the socialist ticket Is making such
a vigorous and successful canvass as to
worry both regular parties. The pronoun

ing invoked to stop her progress, as show
ing the impossibility of her being seated
in case of election, but being a woman
canvass, 1t is going merrlly on in spite OF
quotations, constitutions and personal pro-
nouns.
Charles e. Hughes is the only republican
to be nominated for governor of New York

Cornell, Levi p. Morton. Frank S. Black,
Theodore Roosevelt. Benjamin b. Odell. jr..
ana Frank w. Higgins had all occupied
public posts before they were nominated
for governor. Mr. Hughes nomination is
therefore a departure from established pre-
cedent and many republicans say that this
breaking away from the old rule will be
vastly beneficial to the party In the future.

WANTS of POSTAL CLERKS.
LEGISLATION Sought TO Improve n
Dangerous Service.
Chicago Journal


No employees of the government work
harder than the men in the railway mail
service and no others have such dangerous
work. The public has little knowledge of
the nature of the duties performed by these
servants Of the government. If 1t was bet
ter informed there would doubtless be very
general sympathy with the wants of the
postal service.
They work long hours and they ask for a
reduction. They want a pension system
established. the money to be provided out
OF their salaries. They desire legislation
that will make provision for those who are
injured or disabled while In active duty.
When clerks are called away from home on
duty they ask that they shall be given full
pay.
All this is reasonable and should be
granted. 1t has been urged upon the atten-
ton of congress repeatedly, but has re-
ceived very little consideration. Reports
OF the Postoffice department has eulogized
the work of the men in the railway service.
the great importance of which is freely
admitted. Speeches have been made in
congress eloquently setting forth the
claims of this service to more liberal
consideration. But nothing has been done.
The postal clerks will make another
effort TO secure what they justly believe
they are entitled to and they ought to be
given public support, especially that of

incapable of supplying these con-

In short, Mr.. Bryan, in the predica-
ment in which he has placed himself.
either by faulty leadership or by mis-
conception OF his own relation, or by
both, startlingly betrays how far he is
out OF line with serious American con-
viction on this paramount issue. Hav-
ing long ago reached the same con-
clusion as the corporation opponents
of regulation themselves so loudly
professed, yet unlike many of them
who have now been forced to submit,
he insists on declaring regulation a
failure before it is tried, as il only to
keep, himself in the opposition.
