Cf.v.r Trick Of Tramp.

A queer comedy Of cheating Is now
causing much amusement in Paris.
A laborer named Bedasne, living at
KNOXVILLE, In the Eure ct Loir, went
to Melun with two pounds In his
pocket. Having spent this In liquor,
he conceived the idea Of getting on
to Paris for nothing.
Finding an empty third-class COM
partment, he fastened a flannel belt
round his neck, stuffed a handkerchief
into his mouth, pitched his empty
purse onto the opposite seat and, ly-
ing down, first had a sleep and then,
when Paris was reached, refused to
give any sign Of life till the alarmed
station staff poured q cordial into his
mouth.
Then he was taken to a hospital,
where he told a story Of being at
tackled by three men, but police ques-
tons becoming too difficult, he at
last related his s~tratagem, and was
hailed from his sick bed to prison
London Globe.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1907-04-20
Corruption In Ship-Subsidy.

That the passage of the ship-sub-
sidy bill through the house of repre-
sentatives, by the yery close vote, was
due to corrupt influences was shown
by the statement of Mr.. Birdsall Of
Iowa, a Republican, that Mr.. Hinshaw
of Nebraska had been sent $500 by
Field S. Pendleton, the chief lobbyist
of the s~hip-subsidy promoters, to aid
his reelection to congress n Mr..
Hinshaw refused to receive the bride.
Then there Is the evidence that Alex.
r. Smith of Cleveland paid Arthur
B. Story $4,000 and large sums of
money to other people to have print
ed bogus letters %purporting to be from
labor organizations for the purpose OF
deceiving the house of representatives
by making members believe that
many labor unions were favorable to
the subsidy bill. This dishonesty was
exposed by President Gompers and
the evidence is contained in a speech
delivered by Congressman Shackle-
ford of Missouri on February 27, 1907,
which will be found In the Congress
sional Record of February % on pages
4263-66. Such are some of the meth
DDS of the ~ship-subsidy looters that
have come to light and it is but fair
to assume that much greater corrup-
ton is still concealed.

State Riqhts or Capitalization.

The Hamiltonian theory that all
good government can but proceed
from centralized power at Washing.
ton has been thoroughly imbibed by
President Roosevelt. In his last mes.
sage to congress he said: 1T cannot
be too often repeated that experience
has ~conclusively shown the impossi-
bility of securing by the action of
nearly half a hundred different state
legislatures anything but ineffective
chaos in the way of dealing with the
great corporations which do not oper-
ate exclusively within the limits Of
any one state" Yet the fact that IA
states have brought the railroads to
time by fixing either two-cent or 24a-
cent passenger rates. entirely demol-
fishes the presidents Hamiltonian the
DRY that he is the only reformer that
docs things" aided by an unwilling
Republican majority Of congress.
No one can show one cent saved
from corporation plundering through
any action of the president or n
gress; but there is the fact that the
legislature of Ohio reduced passenger
rates one-third, to two cents a mile,
and that rate appears to give satisfac-
ton to the people and the railroads
submit to it, so it must'be reasonable.
Other states have made similar re.
auctions and either by direct law, or
through their railroad commissions,
have reduced freight rates also. II
that Is ineffective chaos in the way
of dealing with the great corpora
tions,' the people no doubt wish the
president and congress would do
something in the same chaotic way.
The further fact that the railroad
presidents are united in urging that
the president recommend congress to
take control of the interstate railroad
traffic and thus prevent the reforms
the states are enacting, is another evil
dence of the advantage of the reserv.
ed rights of the states and their much
more effective and quicker way of OBJ
tanning relief from corporation injus-
tice than the corporation-controlled
national government.
The Democratic doctrine of home
rule has thus again proven it's greater
mower to relieve the people from in,
Justice than the combined and cen
tralized power of a Republican prest.
dent and a Republican congress. After
all it is not woI DIS but deeds that count
