morning intended to lower the legal
interest rate from 10 to8 per cent.
1t is the opinion of good many of
the new employees of both branches of
the legislature tint the halls and cor
ridors of the state house are more
Duzzling than thesflabyrinths Of Rome.

many of these employees, most of them
young womenss however, stop in their
tracks with a realization that they are
lost" They know not which way to
turn to find even the rooms they use
for offices. But soon man, OF Knight
~ mein, happens along. Will you
show me the way to such and such a
rcom?" is the bashful request from
the stranded one. Will. he show her?
Well. he'll not only do that but escort
her all the way with pleasure, and an
other romance is started under most
suspicious circumstances.
Horton CasweIr bids fair to become
the pet of the senate. He is Topeka
lad, and though ten years old is de-
cidedly small for his age But he is
as bright as he is small and about as
agreea BILE and willing a little CHAP as
one can find anywhere
In the opinion of many it is quite
bad enough for the senators to turn
the senate chamber into smoke
house" while the body is in session. In
the opinion of more, the limit of en-
DURANGO is reached when employees,
principally janitors, are permitted to
smoke pipes in the chamber. There
are plenty of cloak rooms and Iobbies
around where they could thus regale
themselves.

ROOSEVELT AND HARTMAN.

A Denver paper recently carLooned
Roosevelt and Hartman as two giant
athletes wrestling for the mastery The
illustration was pat Hartman is a
great railroad magnate controlling the
Central. Union, Kansas and Southern
Pacific railways Roosevelt IS presi-
dent Of the United States by the grace,
support, financial and political Of Har-
rinan and others Of his position and
power in the nation
These men are like in many lines
Of comparison: They are self-asser-
tive, .fmperiOUs, impetuOus and haT-
ing both the knowledge and the lust
Of power in their respective positions.
As to the question OF veracity in the
matter Of contributions for republican
political campaigns, it is standoh-
When il is remembered that New
York insurance companies cOntribut-
ed $15O,OOO OF the peoples trust
funds; that Hartman claims that
himself and four others contributed
S25O.OOO to be used in a single state
New York-and that J. PierpOnt Nor
gan and Cornelius Bliss were active
in raising large sums Of money; that
COrteIyOu, an ex-department officer,
was national secretary; that he was
promoted later to a cabinet Office,
presumably for reward for such serv-
ices; that it is alleged that S1S,OOO,OOO
were raised for a single presidential
campaign, Harriman's averment
would appear decidedly probable
Roosevelt could not be ignorant Of
the sources Of these ''sinnews Of war"
He. himself, steered political cam
paigns, and is still engaged in steer
ing them. Last fall he did a thing
70 Z T-na IN
sending Secretary Of State Root into
New York state, as his "mouthpiece," 4"
to denounce the democratic candidate
for governOr-Hearst- to elect
the republican candidate-Hughes
This thing would not have been toll
Grated fifty eyars ago in the United
States. And he even "butted in in
the recent municipal campaign in the
great city OF Chicago, and, according
TO press report, had published Roots
New York speech in Chicago dailies-
Now he Is also debating who shall be
his successor -Taft-and the cam
paign is already on in Ohio
In this Harriman-ROOsevelt embrOg-
liO, Roosevelt, in his letter to Con-
gresham Sherman Of New York, says
Hartman is an undesirable citizen,"
and mentions Debs and Haywood in
the same category. To the thought
full and fair-minded, there comes a
bad intellectual chill at the thought Of
the president Of the United States de
parting so far from the prOprieties as
to utter or write words that may be
seiously prejudicial to an Ameican CT
tfzen who is on trial for his life. Pre-
judice and even malice are plainly
manifested in such a reference. Ev-
cry man is presumed to be innocent
until proven guilty
President Lincoln, the great eman-
cipatOr and martyr, in one Of his
speeches, coined a memorable phrase:
with malice toward none, and char
ity for all" What a contrast in the
animus Of a Lincoln and a Roosevelt!

BIG STRIKE IS AVERTED
TRAINafEN AND RAILROADS CONE
10 AGREEMENT.
President Sent Peace ENJOYS Who
Succeeded in Getting the Two
Differing Parties Together.

Chicago, April I'm the settlement
Of the railroad strike dispute today
President ROOseveIt's peace ENJOYS
achieved a victory for the principle
Of consultation in labor controversies
Of that magnitude
All danger Of a tie-up Of the rail-
roads OF the west now is averted
through an agreement made in the
afternoon between the railroad man
ayers and their train service en-
plOyes. The pact was arranged by
Chairman Knapp Of the interstate
commerce commission and Commits
siOner Neiu OF the governments de-
partment Of labor. It viii be formal
" ratified tomorrow.
By the terms Of the settlement the
trainmen will secure an advance in
wages Of about 10 per cent, or 2 per
cent less than was demanded. The
employees waived their nine-hOur day
request, which was never previously
considered as a factor in the negotia-
tiOns by either side
In round figures, the railroad en-
plOyes viii profit by the generosity Of
the companies during the coming
year to the amount OF five and one
half million dollars. The number Of
men who viii gain by the advanced
wage scales is close to $4,000.
As an argument for mediation
through government action the result
generally is regarded as bearing an
important significance. Both sides to
the controversy last night expressed
themselves as highly pleased over the
solution accomplished by the federal
agents They spoke without restric-
ton in praise Of the federal concilia-

When ..O1d Hutch, Lost.

From Chicago RecOrd-Herald.
"B P. Hutchinson used to say no
burglar ever could get into his house
without waking him." said a Central
station detective the other day; but
il remained for Chief Simon O'DonneIl
to put one over on the famous trader
You know, Mr.. Hutchinson was IA
nous in ChicagO's commercial life
years ago and was known popularly
as Old Hutch He prided himself on
the fact that burglars never had got
ten into his house, and often bOasted
OF the fact to his intimates- One day,
while he was at lunch with Chief
OrDonneu and a number OF other
friends, the company fell to discuss
ing a crime that had been committed
the night before.
I'D like to see anybody get into
my house Mr.. Hutchinson said. Why,
I hear every tick Of the clock all
night
"T'u bet you a dinner for this
crowd said the chief, that I can
produce a man who viii enter your
house and you viii not know Of his
visit till morning.
"Mr Hutchinson accepted the
wager. and it was agreed that he was
TO let the chief have a latch key so
being disturbed by some patrOlman-
Mr. Hutchinson also agreed to leave
some article OF value in the parlor
where II could be found readily. The
chief said the robbery would be com
mitted within the following week
Three days later Mr. Hutchinson
awOke in the morning and discovered
that both sheets OF his bed, which
had been in place when he retired,
were gone. So was a little antique
gold clock ne had left on a mantel. He
hurriedly dressed and hastened after
breakfast to the chiefs Office. O'DOn-
nell saw him coming and. as he en-
tered the Office, greeted him with:
d" Mr.. Hutchinson, have two sheets
and a clock that belong to you. We
viii have the dinner today
The burglary was done by a for
mer criminal who at the time had re-
formed and was in a respectable line
Of business. He did the job at the re-
quest Of the chief How did he get
the under sheet? He rolled Mr..
Hutchinson over, rolled the sheet af-
ter him and then rolled him back"

STATE CAN'T SUE HARTMAN.
An Opinion by Illinois Attorney on
the Alton Deal


the Alton Deal
Springfield. H. april Illinois
cannot proceed against Hartman in
the matter OF his manipulation OF the
Chicago & Alton road. according to
the states attorney general. Mr.. Stead
An opinion In the matter was render
ed today to Governor Deneen-
If the state should revoke the com
pany's charter the loss would fall on
the stockholders, as Hartman already
has disposed Of a large part OF his
holdings. The attorney general con-
cludes, therefore, that the best plan
would be for the company itself to
seek a remedy for the situation, or
even for one or more stockholders to
act Mr.. Stead insists there is not the
least doubt that a civil remedy ex-
lists against the ''financiers who have
wrecked this prosperous railroad com
pany, and, at the expense OF innocent
stockholders and bondholders, have
gathered to themselves a harvest Of
millions OF dollars"
The profits made out Of the Alton
deals by Mr.. Hartman and his assO-
ciates are placed by Mr.. stead at $24,-
64S, 500. "As e result Of this enOr-
nous profit to themselves" he says,
'the railroad companies are thrown
into hopeless bankruptcy
The Indebtedness Of the companies,
as shown by the figures in the opin-
iOns has been increased a total OF $780,
646s21S since they fell into Harriman's
hands. OF this amount only twenty
two and one-haIf million dollars, ac-
COrding to Harriman's own testimony,
says Mr.. stead, was incurred for i'm
prOvementss betterments or extension
Of the roads. More than ffty-seven
million dollars Of this Indebtedness,
concludes the opinion, cor more than
20 per cent Of the entire indebtedness,
created by this syndicate upon the
properties Of these companies, were
not created in furtherance Of any leg
itimate purpose"

Banker Schuster's view certainly is
more sensible and sane than the hy-
sterical clamOr Of interested persons
that the president and the American
people were bringing on a panic by
refusing to let the HarrimanS, Ryans,
ROckefellers, ROgerses and the like
alone to manipulate stocks and de-
luge the market with watered securf-
ties Of properties owned by them.
In Germany" says Mr.. Schuster.
there can be no watering Of stock:
every share Of capital must be issued
for its full value in cash" That has
not been the rule in this country;
there are in American railroads hun
dreds and even thousands Of millions
Of stock capital issued on fat and
without cash equivalent.

adjusted itself and regained its euufIf-
brium after the fareup Of two weeks
ago, following a shrinkage in stocks Of
about two billion dollars After the

ter-letting has done the patient good
and not harm There was, as the best
