law. Yet the attorney general says in a published statement that there is no possibility of convicting MT
 Rockefeller or any of the higher off, cials of the Standard for their in
 numerable crimes. The evidence that the corporation violated the law is all there and there may be some con- yictions. But is anyone going to be infatuated enough to say that it was some $10 week shipping clerk who violated the law and that the head of the corporation knew nothing about it and was not morally responsible? Officials may say this, but they will not think it. There is only one other explanation, and that is that John D. Rockefeller and H. H. Rogers are beyond the reach of the law as it is now administered. They can violate the law with impunity and if anyone is to be convicted it must be some cheap subordinate in the company who will go to jail at the behest of his masters for a few thousand a year and think himself well paid. It is rather bad outlook for popu- lar institutions, but perhaps it is the best that We can look for 50 long as the present party is in power. Maybe we ought to be thankful that the prosecution has been brought at all.

country place of Mir. Freer, is situated on the Saugerties road, two miles north of Kingston. The entrance to the estate is short distance from the north yard of the West Shore rail road, where nearly all freight and pas senger trains stop for coal and water
 When Mir. Freer saw a north-bound freight train about to pull out of the station he decided that 1t would be much easier to ride on 1t as far as the coaling station in the north yard than to walk home or wait until his horses could be sent to town. So. without attracting attention, he boarded the freight, and took up a good, secure position on the bumpers between cars.
 As the freight, with Mir. Freer aboard, moved up the north yard, the solitary passenger commented to him. self upon how much better the coun- try looked at close range than from the interior of passenger coach. Then. as the train approached the wa ter tanks and coal elevators. he pre- pared to alight.
 Instead of slowing down the train seemed to be increasing its speed, and when it reached the usual stopping place it was travelling 30 miles an hour. It bumped>over the Saugerties road crossing, less than 200 feet from the entrance to Maple Lane Farm, with sufficient force to bump off even an experienced hobo, but Mir. Freer is athletic and he chung tenaciously to the cars.
 It was fast freight that Mir. Freer had boarded, and the engine had taken on coal and water before starting. At the end of two hours the train slowed down and finally stopped at Ravena. wiping dust and cinders from his eyes MT. Freer, hardly recognizable through his coat of dirt, climbed down, looking more like a hobo than a millionaire.
 Passenger trains on the West Shore railroad do not run as frequently as they might run, and Mir. Freer faced a wait of three hours. While he was debating how to meet a dinner en- gagement a south-bound freight came into sight. This time 1t was fiat cars. loaded with steel rails, but Mr. Freer jumped it" and headed for home.
 The same Providence that provided the freight for the millionaire way farer neglected to provide that 1t should make the usual stop for coal and water. and without a halt the weary wanderer was set down in Kingston. almost at the spot where he had boarded the northbound train earlier in the day. Another ball game vas being played inside the grounds, but Mir. Freer did not attend.
 MT. Freeris disappearance had ere ated intense excitement among his family and friends. and they were greatly relieved when he showed them that he vas safe and u1haTmed.

If Senator Lodge has violated the
 law or if he has winked at any vio- lation of the law, he is not too big or too aristocratic to be brought before a grand jury and asked to tell what he knows. District Attorney Moran is perhaps one of the very few big prosecutors who is not afraid to reach out, even after the aristocratic fellows. It is to be hoped he will keep it up and not fall down like the dis trict attorney of New York, who, we are told, pulls the bullets out of his gun when he goes for his game. Some men are abused for doing their duty while others are lauded when they fail to do what they are paid for and expected to do. Jerome seems to be one of the latter, if we are to believe editors, orators and others. It is this sneering at officials who are trying to do their duty which makes such men as Lodge, Rockefeller and Carnegie think they own the earth, and that they should not be ques- tioned about it.

FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1906.

The Rev c. H. Beard, pastor of one of Bridgeport's churches, has the courage of his convictions at least and returns once more to his attack on Connecticut's senators, Bulkeley and Brandegee. He accuses the form CT of about everything low and tricky in the game of politics, and seems bit afraid that the junior senator is following in the footsteps of Bulkeley. The reverend gentleman wants to purify the politics of the state and he thinks a good place to begin is in the caucuses which nomi- nate the men who go to the state legislature, and who every six years elect United States senators.

Although the attorney general an- nounces that he is about to institute criminal proceedings against the Standard Oil company, he is careful to announce in the same breath that he has no hope of eonvicting John D. Rockefeller. H. H. Rogers. John D. Archbold or any of the other big fish of the combine. This is a most re- markable statement. It is not so re- markable in some ways. for one has gotten to think in this country that IL is impossible to convict a trust magnate of a. crime no matter how he may have been guilty. But here are the facts. says a Washington vri- ter. The bureau of corporations of which Jimmy" Garfield is the well meaning head. worked long and hard turning up evidence against the Standard It vss shown in the report on the oil carrying traffic of the Unit ed States that the Standard Oil com pany had forced the railroads to give it an advantage ranging from 5 to 20 cents on carrying loo pounds of oil for pzltry distances like zsS to 500 miles.
