4 NEEDED RAILROAD.

The Rockford Argus expresses its surprise at so little apparent interest in the proposition to build a railroad from Montgomery to Rockford. It points out the advantages of such road. and The Ashland Standard joins in the argument but can see no reason for stopping at Rockford. 'orhere is no more inviting location for a road. it says ."than the one proposed. if 1t is extended to Ashland and thence to Anniston"
 Cnr contemporaries are both correct on the general proposition. Any one being interested in the vast stretch of. almost unexplored country that. such a road would traverse It is a country rich in agricultural. mineral and tim ber resources. and much of it Is prac- tically cut of from the outside world by lack of transportation facilities. It is not only good agricultural section throughout it's entire extent, but there is much mineral wealth on portions of the route and the timber is both plentiful and valuable. They need a railroad and ought to have it, and that road would mean much to Montgomery. It would bring millions of dollars worth of business to this city that Is now carried elsewhere. The road ought to be built.

IN A srEw.

Republican leaders In Pennsylvania have not been in a happy state of mind for some months. and all on account of the scandals connected with the work on the new Capitol building. When it first began to be talked around that some millions of dollars had literally been stolen by the ring having the building and furnishing of the Capitol in charge the party leaders and ring sters made the welkin ring with the multitude and vehemence of their de- nials that there was anything wrong in the matter. They evidently thought they could refute all charges and si- lence ali accusations by the multitude of their assertions of innocence.
 All this might have worked if the gang could have kept matters in their own hands, but when State Treasurer Berry came into ofice he was not long in lifting the lid and getting a peep under the surface. The deeper he went the worse it got, and pretty soon the gangsters found that denials would no longer go. It became plain to them. as we'll as to others. that a most shame less system of grating and stealing had been going on and that deniais were no longer adequate to satisfy the people. Then they agreed to legis- lative investigating committee hoping by that means-having a majority of their party on the committee--to do good job of hiding and whitewashing so as to satisfy the country and save the rascals from just exposure and punishment. That also failed to work, for the investigation has gone much further than they intended and escape for the guilty parties seems improb- able.
 Now, as last resort. the leaders are asserting that these exposures are made by the Democrats for party cap ital. but that will not save them. It Is a triumph for the Democrats or course. to expose the rascality of the Republican machine but there is some- thing far more important than paru- sanship or mere political advantage. While 1t will. strengthen the Demo cratic party of that state to expose one of the greatest scandals of the time 1t may induce the Republicans themselves to get to work to rid their party of a gang of political spoilers who have in more than one instance shown themselves little better than ordinary thieves. The cry of partisan shin against the Democrats will not protect the gang.

George F. Baer.

George F. Baer, president of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway, was born September 26, 1S42, in Somerset county. Pennsylvania. He received hls schooling principally at Franklin and Marshall College. At the age of thirteen he entered the office of coun- try newspaper In his home county and with his brother became owner of the paper in 1861. While his brother went to the war he conducted the paper and at the same time studied law. In the fall of 1862 he raised a company of volunteers and with 1t joined the Ar my of the Potomac at the second bat tie of Bull Run He took part in all the engagements up to and including Charlottesville. At the close of the war he resumed his legal studies and in 1864 was admitted to the bar Four years later he removed to Reading and before long had established 8 large le- gal practice. For a number of years he was the counsel of the Reading Rail road and also the coBfidential legal adviser in Pennsylvania of J Pierpont Morgan. He took a prominent part in the reorganization of the Reading Rail- road in 1893, and for the past six years has been president of tn com pany. He Is also interested in other railroads and in a number of valuable coal and iron properties.

If the President can be persuaded by his party managers not to issue the proclamation by which Oklahoma can come into the Union as State, he can put the people to a great deal of trou- bIe and delay. They have spoken in favor of the constitution that was adopted by the convention and have elected State oficials. legislatures and congressman. Everything required has been done, and all that is needed is the Presidential proclamation. In July, 1878. the then Territory of Colorado voted on Statehood matters and Pres ident Grant issued his proclamation, saying that "the fundamental condi- tions imposed by Congress on the State of Colorado to entitIe that State to ad- mission have been ratified and accept ed." Washington, Montana, and the two Daxotas held their elections on october 1, 1889, and all were admitted by November Ii by President Harrison. Utah ratified it's Constitution and elect ed its members of Congress November 5. 1895, and was admitted by President Cleveland January 4, following. It would be great hardship and wrong upon the people of Oklahoma for Pres- ident Roosevelt not to follow the course pursued by other Presidents in cases similar to this.

least i've thousand white votes Each one of them should be interested in the city government. Each one should feel Interested in electing men whom he believes best qualified for the of flee to which he aspires, but what do we see7 At an election where a full vote should be cast we find from two- fifths to one-haIf of the voters will not trouble themselves to go to the polls. one-half or three-hfths of the good citizens either do not care who Is elected or will not put themselves to the little inconvenience of going to the voting places.
 This is not good citizenship. and it is not good politics. Of machine poli- ties we have more than enough. and if that kind could become a dead let- ter it would be better for the people and for the country. But of good poll itics there is a sad insuficiency. and 1t is a great pity. We would like to see the time when each individual cit- izen would feel that upon him rests portion of the duties and responsi- biiities of government. We want each man who can qualify himself to vote to feel that if bad men are elected or bad laws enacted he is partly to blame for it, because he staid away from the polls. In short, we want more good politics.

snenh,nr PubIIc Money.

Birmingham Ledger
 The Ledger on Thursday published the increased expenditures of the State. It is even larger than The Led- ger predicted before the Legislature met It then told the members of the Legislature that an assault would be made on them to create judges. The assault was greater and more success frI than we dreamed of. There was riot of extravaganza that Alabama has not seen since the time when she was not repre- esented in her own Legislature. The design seems to have been 10 spend the surplus and all the State has and then to mortgage its future.
 Alabama is not a poor State and un- der previous administrations there was always present an effort to save margin of the States money. Neither saving. safety nor sanity. was regard ed this time The fact that some of the money was well spent does not nh- igate the evil of scattering the States money so recklessiy.
 The taxes of the State are being in creased heavily. They must be to meet the fixed charges put upon the State by this administration. There Is dan ger that all taxes will be increased. There is a call for another session of the Legislature and there Is no tell ing what 1t will do, in the way af ap-
 study of the increased exrendi- lures already made and fastened upon the State is disquieting to business great surplus and spent 1t like a boy coming into a great fortune, who not only spends all he has, but mortgages his future

 A "citizen committee" Is made up of the men who sit around an excava- ton for a new building. whittling pine sticks. spit tobacco juice on the fresh dirt and watch the other fellows work. It's right to show interest in new buildings, in town development and progress. but there's a better way. You can do more good for yourself and the community by belonging to a general progressive committee" This Is the kind of a committee that puts up new buildings. brings new business into town to occupy them. paints the old houses, keeps the sidewalks in good repair. beautifies the front yards cleans up the back yards and otherwise makes the town a better town to live in.
