The Oriental Lectures.

Up to this writing, Paonia peo-
pie have listened to two of the
three lectures being given by Rev.
J. X. Hester. upon the Holy Land.
The first two evenings the speaker
found a we'll filed house awaiting
him. the second evening furnish
ing little better audience than
the first. MIR. Hester is an enter
taining talker. and thoroughly
understands his subject. He
speaks from personal observation,
and as he is a close observer and
gifted with a retentlve memory.
he is able to carry the hearer with
him among the scenes in that
store house of antiquity, the Holy
Land. 1t has been great privi-
lege to many people to hear these
lectures and we imagine that the
audience tonight will test the
capacity of the hall. At all the
meetings Miss Mable Ault has
given one selection, the first
night reciting "the Confession of
a Venetian Maiden on the Eve of
her Execution" the second even
ing giving rendition of the
Chariot Race by Ben Hur." Both
selections were well received by
the audience.

THE MoYER-HAYWOOD INCIDENT.

President Roosevet's rejoinder to the friends
OF Moyer and Haywood who charged him with
predetermining the guilt Of these two labor
leaders in a case now on trial in the courts OF
Idaho is entirely frank and convincing. Inc
charge is met and refuted and the oITence I'M
puted to the President is firmly fastened on MS
critics Mr.. Roosevelt characterized Meyer and
Haywood as undesirable citizens" He formed
the opinion that they were undesirable" before
they were indicted for completely in the murder
of Ex-Governor Steunenberg, and he retains that
opinion irrespective Of their guilt or innocence
of the particular offence on which the courts
are about 10 try them. The President had no
intention OF passing Judgment on the Steunen-
berg case the facts in which have not yet been
submitted 10 jury. He did not indicate IN any
way whether he thought Meyer and Haywood
innocent or guilty, and his opinion Of their
worth as citizens could not be changed by any
verdict convicting or acquitting them OF par
ticipation in plot to remove a man who had
made himself especially obnoxious to the labor
organization which they directed
Because a man hopes to free himself from
some specific charge OF misdoing be cannot claim
complete immunity from criticism until that
particular examination is terminated. Presi-
dent Roosevelt classified Meyer and Haywood
as undesirable citizens" because Of their sim
lister record as fOmenters Of and apOlOgists for
violence as a means Of settling controversies be
tween capital and labor. II is open 10 their
defenders to canonize them as heroes and
patriots on the face of that record, and such
canOniZatiOn would not be resented as an at
tempt to p1edetermine their guilt or Innocence
of the Steunenberg charges. But when these
defenders organize with the watchword death
"can not will not and shall not claim our
brothers" they clearly put themselves out OF
court as scrupulous champions Of the sanctity
and inviOlability of judicial processes.
President ROOsevelts letter rings true and
VIII have the approval Of the vast majority of
Americans, 10 whom plain speaking is welcome
and by whom fearlessness in maintaining the
right to criticise evil deeds and evil tendencies
Is still regarded q cardinal public virtue
The American people have a vast respect for a
man who is not deferred from passing censure,
If he thinks censure is deserved, by the threat
ened condemnation of powerful interests which
he runs the risk of offending.

1 mari, in architectural and decorative profits.
The chief furnisher's margin OF commission on

in many cases the generous returns from theiE
own capital which daring "get-rich-quicx' con-
Germs have the habit Of guaranteeing to cred

politics will terminate. 1t may be that Pennsyl-
vania viii recover some Of the millions Of
which she has been mulcted by private rapacity
and official negligence. One thing is certain, and
that is that the Board of Public Grounds and
Buildings is Chargeable with wilful laundering
or gross incapacity. A former State Treasurer
Frank G. Harris a member Of the board from
1902 to 1904, admitted on the witness stand last
week that he had only the haziest ideas about
the furnishing project and had not taken the
LrOuDI0 inquire uOW uluCu was DclAAB opCAI OA

conduct he said: "I had no idea the people were

ing to accept Mr.. Harriss disclaimer of cOrrup-
ton. just it has never shown any disposition
to believe that Ex-Governor Pennypacker was
aware of the frauds praCtised or cOnnived at
them. But officials cannot wash their hands"
SO easily. They were elected to perform certain
duties and apparently neglected to perform them.
When Mr.. Berry. the present State Treasurer.
came into office the whole furnishing bubble
was pricked. Any other wide awake observer on
the board could have pricked 1t earlier. The
scandal cannot be whlstled away by the officials
who were set to guard the State Treasury and
did not guard II. The disclosures Of the last two
months will put lasting stain on Governor
Pennypackers administration.

THE KALUArLON oF RALLROAnS

The fancy OF some mi-poltical economists
especially In the Northwestern states, has been
so far captured by the idea OF a valuation Of
railroads as to require n word OF warming
Such valuation is being discussed as Il thing
desirable or necessary per SC. II, however, rail-
roads are TO be valued by the state or national
government. # must be for some purpose. All
the states have long valued railroad and other
property for taxation. The courts especially
the Supreme Court OF the United States. have
discussed the valuation Of railroads as one Of
the tests Of the reasonableness Of state Iegis-
lation limiting rates. 1t IS now seriously pro-
posed, reversing that process. to have the state
and even the national government value rail
road property as a basis for fixing railroad
rates.
Nothing Of the kind has. we believe, ever been
attempted, even In those countries where the
state-mainly for military reasons-has acquired
the railroads, and the project is beset with In
Vulnerable difficulties. 1t would require little
short Of omniscience TO weigh all the elements
Of value which make up the vastly complicated
mechanism Of a modern railway. And even
though the task could be performed TO the sat
isfacton Of those who undertook it, it would
then, we think be found, so far as rates are
concerned, 10 be futile.
AS matter OF fact, all railroads are already
valued in the prices OF the securities which rep
resent them' and the danger Of any attempt to
effect reValuatiOn by the states and stiu more
by the national government ostensIblv under-
taken for the purpose Of fixing rates, is that It
would inevitably be regarded as an attempt to
AFFECT the value and prices OF those securities.
Recent testimony before the Interstate Com.
merce Commission brought out the open demand
that certain issue Of railroad bonds should be
invalidated by legislation, and this tendency is
clearly suggested in the report. just made Of a
committee Of the Minnesota Legislature which
has been valuing the railroads Of that state and
which recommends 'that commission of three
De empowered to investigate generally into the
capitalization OF the railroads of Minnesota
"and the relation the stocks and bonds bear tn
the value thereof, and the enactment of such
appropriate legislation as the conditions dis
CLOSED demand" This means, If it means any,
thing. that the State OF Minnesota thinks it may
adjust the value Of stocks and bonds Of a rail-
way to the value which 1t may put upon that
railway and this, If not rank socialism. ia as
serious menace to property as has ever been
made in this country.
