What Ia even more interesting in the
opinion of some Of the shrewdest OF
the students Of present conditions is
that there are no signs Of Any abate-
ment- The old theory that years OF de-
preston are bound to follow years of
prosperity is temporarily abandoned
when the whole world is calling for
the products which the American man
ufactories are trying to supply. There
seems to be Just reason for pride on
the part OF the people Of a country
when a single manufacturing center
pays out to Its laborers a million dol
lars a day on this average throughout
the working year. The only ones who
have occasion for unhappiness are the
prophets Of discomfort. Such a report

Some years ago the writer attended

USE OF sLoTTINe PAPER.
Method Of Cleaning Machinery In
German Shops.

The use Of plotting paper for clean.
ing machinery is a comparatively new
idea-an Idea that has been tried
successfully In German workshops.
Tow, wooden refuse sponge cloths
and jute waste are the materials usu-
ally employed for the cleaning Of
machines and parts Of engines that
are soiled BY dirt and lubricating
substances.
The better varieties Of cotton waste
are very good for securing purposes.
but the cheaper grades Ire charged
with dust, and In using them a sponge
cloth, specially manufactured for the
purpose. has to be resorted to.
In employing plotting paper for
securing purposes the use Of cotton
waste lis decreased, and the sponge
cloths are entirely dispensed with.
On an average Q German workman re-
ceives under the former system $50
grams of cotton waste. one new
sponge cloth. and m o two reno
waited ones each week. Now he is
supplied with $50 grams of cotton
waste. and about eight or ten sheets
Of plotting paper, at q cost Of two
and . half cents. or one-third the cost
Of the cotton waste.
The paper IL not only cheaper. but
1t does not soil the machinery with
fbers and dust, as do the wooded
refuse and the sponge cloths. 1t is
also less combustible than other clean.
ing materials. and, If it should be
caught in the, machinery while en-
gines In motion are being cleaned, IT
tears easily. and the workmen run
no risk of having their hands drawn
into the machinery.

A MILLION A DAY.

No n doubts the prosperity Of the
United States at the present time. 1t
is indicated at every turn. The farm
ers rejoice In great crops. The rail-
roads are unable to furnish enough
cars to transport the offered freight.
The cities are occupied with the cree
ton Of big buildings and tn eplanning
Of public improvements. The deposits
In the savings banks are increasing at
q rapid rate. Prosperity is everywhere.
Now and then a specific illustration
is given to strengthen the general
impression. Such a hint comes from
Pittsburg. where q report issued by
the chamber Of commerce tells OF the
prosperity Of that district One para
graph reads that the wage earners
there receive annually the enormous
amount Of $3.50, 000. 900, a fact made
more Ineligible and far more striking
when 1t Ia indicated that this repre-
sents more than $1,000, 900 a day for
every working day in the year. Tc

THE wAMsuTrER ROUTE.

Denver and Omaha papers are de
termined to build a line for the Union
Pacific west from Denver. NO matter
how It may strain and fwrack their
brains. Not satisfied with the route by
the way of Greeley. Fort Collins and
Laramie. . which they have mapped a
good many times. they have turned
their attention to one from Greeley by
tho way of Fort! Collins. North park
and Wamsutter. This route, they al
lege. will ave something like $50
miles between Denver and Salt Lake.
II Is not q new idea. at least hat por-
ton of the route east of North park
has been frequently discussed and upon
one occasion 1t has been surveyed
probably more than one The Burling'
ton made n survey west from Fort Col
Inns and found the grade too heavy.
The mountains between that city and
North park are an insurmountable bar.
rier to modern railroads. Grades above
one per cent are not being sought at
the present time. 1t will be recalled
that Engineer Ensign of the Burlington
made q survey west from a point NC.
Tie Siding some months ago and that
aoportion of the right Of way in Wyo.
ming was hied In the Cheyenne land
once. That survey followed closely the
Colorado.Wyoming line until Utah was
reached, but 1t had to be abandoned be.
cause of heavy grades. From Creole,
to Wamsutter the Union Pacific would
meet with the same obstacles.
Some years ago the people Of Fort
Collins. Jealous of Laramie's monopoly
of the North park trade. induced the
Colorado legislature to expend $4,000
in what they called a state road from
Fort Collins to the park. 1t crossed
the Medicine Bow range at a point
about where the railroad would be com.
PEELED to go provided 1t took either Of
the Poudre passes, and 1t Is closed to
business about six months In the year.
The road Is not only precipitous, but
reaches the line Of almost perpetual
snow. No railroad can climb up there
AID hope to do business in the winter
season. It would be subject to block
AIDES. snowslides and grades in excess
OF two per cent. Its operation would
be SO expensive that 1t would be unde'
sirable for any transcontinental trafac,
The Moifatt line is such a line. 1t is
probable that 1t will be found exceed
ingly expensive to operate and, 1t is al
most certain that it will be closed to
business q great deal during the winter
months, The scenic. lines that pierce
the clouds are all right for light sum
mer excursion, trains, but when I
comes to doing business, low attitudes
and less than one per cent grades art
desirable.

The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-07-31

Editor The Press: The able edi-
torial in The Press of July 20 con.
corning the Haywood verdict
shows that the editor has a correct
conception of the character of the
evidence upon which the prosecu-
ton relied. The only evidence of
a conspiracy that was presented to
the jury was the uncorroborated
statement of Orchard to the effect
that, in conversation with Hay
wood in the back yard of Mr.. Petit
bones house, in Denver, Haywood
told him to go to Idaho and kill
Mr.. Steunenberg so that he could
then go to Paterson, New Jersey,
from where he could write letters
to persons in Colorado and scare
them.
Upon it's face this statement is
improbable if not preposterous. 1t
reads like quotation from the pro-
auctions of an imagination of the
low order that invents the cheap
detective story. 1t would seem that
anyone with sufficient intelligence
to discern that the cent detective
story Of the book stalls is fiction
and not truth would be able to see
that Orchards statement bears on
its face the stamp of falsehood. 1t
is hard to understand why a jury
should lay itself open to criticism
because it failed to believe this alb
surd statement. But the Boise jury
has been criticised by persons des-
ignated in certain newspapers as
prominent citizens" and it is plain
that these criticisms, with the
above designation of the authors,
are published with the intention of
influencing public opinion. 1t seems
proper therefore to counteract such
influence by pointing out the fallacy
at the bottom of such criticism.
This fallacy consists in the as
sumption of the truth of the propo-
SitiOn that a fact, such as an agree
ment to commit murder, can be
proved by an extraordinary or an
inexplicable illustration of some
other unrelated fact. With this as
sumption in their minds, uncOn-
sciously, the persons who make
these criticisms, finding in the testi-
mony of Orchard things they can
not explain, conclude from the ex-
istence Of an unexplained phenome-
non that Mr.. Haywood is guilty of
having agreed with Orchard to COM
nit murder.
Some say that they cannot under
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-07-31
ATTORNEYS view OF THE HAYWOOD vEFDlC

|, stand what motive Orchard had 10
commit all the crimes that he, con-
fessed to have committed, andl On
account of their inability to lex
plain this phenomenon feel certain
of Mr.. Haywood's guilt. 81
Others affirm that Orchard has
been converted, and since they can
not understand how a person who
has been converted can tell an Iun-
truth, they conclude that Mr.EHay-
wood is guilty. a.
This form of reasoning was re-
Gently stated in a ridiculous form
by the editor of the Spokesman-Re-
view in an editorial in which it was
said that if Orchard had repented
and was converted he was telling
the truth, but that If he was not
converted he might or might not be
telling the truth. (The editor was
bound to get Haywood both going
and eoming.) kr
The inexplicable phenomenon of
the conversion of life long tcfim-
inal when caught redhanded ID the
commission of a horrible crime is
thus taken as conclusive evidence
that Mr.. Haywood agreed with him
to commit a murder. The fact that
Orchard might lie about his con-
version as easily as about any 9TH
err fact, is not taken into consider
alton by persons who follow this
line of reasoning, but having heard
his statement that he has expert
enced religion" they assume with
out further consideration that all
that he chooses to say must be
true and, although what he says be
narrative of the improbable or
even impossible, they are surprised
that an unprejudiced jury should
not believe him. Therefore they
criticise court and jury.
The theory of the prosecution of
Mr.. Haywood and the criticisms
made by the so-called prominent
people" of the jury that tried him
is based upon the fallacious reason
ing indicated by these examples.
The assumption that a fact can be
proved by the citation of some in
applicable phenomenon upon which
assumption this reasoning is based
is a survival in the public mind
from the superstitious age when it
was believed that any fact could be
determined by miracle.
For example. it was provided in
the code governing the proceedings
of the Inquisition that, where a
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-07-31

person was accused Of being q
witch, she should be pierced with
needles, and II the accused WINGED
she was deemed guilty, but; il she
did not vince, she might or might
not be guilty. The fact that some
persons under this ordeal WINGED
and others did not was mex
plicable, and therefore since the
wincing could not be explained, it
was taken as proof of guilt.
So, in these times, we read state
ments Of prominent people" who
are surprised that Mr.. Haywood
was acquitted, and on examining
their statements we find their rea-
sons to be that they are acquainted
with some extraordinary circum-
stance that they cannot explain as,
that a man deserted his wife in
Canada, Or that he committed bur-
glary in Idaho, or that an explosion
occurred in San Francisco
Such persons cannot explain why
man should commit bigamy, bur-
glary, arson and murder, and there
fore since they cannot explain
these extraordinary occurrences
they say that they believe that Mr..
Haywood told Orchard to go to
Idaho and kill Mr.. Steunenberg so
that he could then go to Paterson,
New Jersey, and write letters to
people in Colorado and scare them.
Such irrelevant facts could only
lead to such ludicrous conclusion
in a mind which was already under
the impression that conspiracy to
commit a murder can be proved by
the citation of some fact that is
not explained. To mind free
from this erroneous impression the
criticisms of the jury that &C.
quilted Mr.. Haywood seem to be
altogether uncalled for and
fallacious.
In the degree in which the editor
of The Press is successful in dis
pelling from the public mind this
false assumption that has been in
herited from a superstitious age he
will perform a most important and
valuable public service. George N.
Maddox.
