Leslie NJ. Shaw. secretary Of the treas
ury. in lecture before the Harvard union
Monday night, declared that this country
needs 900 more miles Of railroad to
carry its freight and that we are Just
beginning to do things" President ]. ].
Hin Of the Great Northern railroad is in
accord with Secretary Shaw in a long
open letter to Gov. johnson Of Minnesota
in which he expresses his views on various
phases OF the railroad situation. Mr..
Hiu says the railroads everywhere in this
country are taxed beyond their power
and the people are therefore face to face
with the greatest business problem that
has ever threatened the nation-a prob
lem with financial, mechanical and phys
ical questions. In the past ten years the
railroad traffic Of the country has increas-
ed 10 per cent while the mileage has
increased but 81 per cent. the number OF
locomotives 80 per cent. and the number
Of cars 45 per cent Mr.. Hill believes that
$5 500 600 900 SHOULD be spent-s1 100, 600
600 a year for five years-before the COM
merce Of the country can be moved prop
erly. This sum is twice the amount
OF the bonded debt OF the country at the
close of the civil war, twice the entire
currency circulation Of the country, and
nearly double the amount OF deposits in
all the savings banks Of the country. one
great trouble comes from the lack OF ter
minal facilities Mr. Hin is Of the opin-
ion that "a 15-foot canal or channel from
81 Louis to New Orleans would go fur
ther to relieve the entire middle west and
south than any other work that could be
undertaken. Mr. Hill finds a connection
between present conditions and the agi-
tation for government ownership of rail-
roads when he says: 1t is not by accident
that railroad building has declined TO its
lowest within a generation. at the very
time when all other forms Of activity have
been growing most rapidly The inves
tor declines to put his money into enter
prises under ban OF -unpopularity and
even threatened by individuals and polit
ical parties with confiscation or transfer
to the state. This feeling must be re-
moved and greater confidence be mu-
tually established if any considerable por-
tion OF the vast sum necessary is to be
available for the work"

An independent Governor.

Charles + Hughes, within two weeks
after coming to the executive chair in
New York state. has demonstrated that
independence and courage. He has not
only ignored the Republican state mach
inc but has dealt it blows in his appoint
meuts To the leading state offices He
announces that appointments will be made
for reason OF fitness only. The position
Of superintendent Of elections was held
by Lewis NJ. Swasey, the lieutenant and
personal representative of Timothy L.
Woodruff, the Republican state chairman.
Hughes deliberately refused 10 reappont
Swasey and named in his place William
Leary. who managed Herbert Parsons s
last Congressional campaign, and is a
personal friend Of President Roosevelt
George w. Aldridge the Republican boss
in Rochester, had a candidate for public
works. but his wishes were ignored and
his personal foe, ex-senator F. C.
stevens. secured the appointment In
addition the governor has recommended
the abolition of the Office which Aldridge
now holds. Mr. Stevens was kept out
CO the Senate last year by the Aldridge-
Wadsworth- Higgins combination. Stevens
was responsible more than any other man
for the defeat of Representative Wads-
WORTH one of the ld-timers in Congress
and father of the speaker of the New
York assembly. The younger Wads-
worth and Gov. Hughes are acting in
entire harmony, however, in the work
at Albany. Gov. Hughes has dumb
founded the political FOUNDERS, but his
course will only strengthen his hold on
the public. Mr. Hughes has made a
remarkable beginning and if he makes
good throughout his entire term he will
become formidable candidate for the
presidency.

Popcorn Willie" and peanut Charlie" in
United states Senate.

The rant about the lack of opportunity
| in the United States is answered again
| in the careers of two members of the
national House of Representatives who
have recently been promoted to the
United States Senate through election by
the legislatures Of their respective states.
William Alden Smith will succeed Russell
\. Alger of Michigan and Charles Curtis
will FIJI the place formerly held by
Joseph r. Burton of Kansas. whose love
Of money lodged him in Jail. Smith and
Curtis have been dubbed Popcorn
Willie" and Peanut Charlie" from the
vocations of their boyhood days. Curtis
was such "a successful vender Of popcorn
on the streets of Grand Rapids that he
made S75 a month at the age of y years,
but he was ambitious and looking ahead
was glad to take the position Of page in
the Michigan legislature when the op-
portunity was offered He studied law
at odd moments. won friends, made a
living honestly and was eventually ad-
mitted to the bar. He was successful in
his profession and won political prefer
ment at an early age. He is now AZ and
has served y years in the lower branch
of Congress. Curtis, the Senator-elect
from Kansas. is part Indian" His
mother was a mixture Of Kaw Indian and
French blood and his father an army
officer. At an age when many chill
dren are beginning school work Cur
It's was riding a raw-boned wild outlaw
Of a horse on the race track. He then
graduated into the ownership Of a peanut
stand. He succeeded in gaining high
school education and then worked for a
time hack driver BY study and in
cessant work he gained admission to the
bar at the age OF p. He will be a years
old before the end Of this month and his

Dr.. Tucker on Local Sanitation.

DR. fuckers Professional club paper
on Sanitation" printed in fun in this
paper. is of strictly local application. as
well as a model of concise direct state
ment and the members of the club have
done well in asking that the Brattleboro
community be given the benefit Of it's
publication along with the very pertinent
supplementary suggestions made by DR..
Miller. The paper is so plain in its
terms and condensed in form that it does
not require summarizing or elucidation,
and there Is no reason why any man or
woman who feels any interest whatever
in the primary principles of individual
and community health should not read
it and understand it. Adequate water
supply, proper sewerage, and the suppress
sion of the dust nuisance are the
leading essentials. We note with especial
interest DR.. fuckers statement that
medical science now recognizes it as an
established fact that what we commonly
call colds" are neither more nor less
than germ disease contracted in an
atmosphere laden with filthy dust, or
with the unspeakable exhalations from
diseased lungs in a crowded and unven-
tilated room, be it at home, or in a
church. or in a public hall.

Taxing Bank Deposits.
LRandolph Herald.l

Ii does seem certain that taxing in
tereSt- bearing deposits in national banks
will very largely increase the revenues.
The state treasury assuredly will be
benefited by whatever flows in from this
source, for 1t has hitherto received nothing
in that direction. The expectation is that
savings deposits in national banks will
henceforth contribute in the same proper
tion to the state treasury that the de-
posits in savings and trust institutions
do, and the total revenue will bear such
a comparison to the revenue from these
latter as the deposits of the one do to
those of the other. Savings deposits in
national banks are quite large. by the
way.
There is no real reason to fear that
taxing national bank deposits will lead
to their withdrawal indeed, the present
attitude of the banks is the commendable
one of coming forward with a square
proposition to pay the tax, with no COM
pensating reduction in interest returns.
If any national bank, now or hereafter,
should find itself unable to do this, prob
ably it would lose in deposits, which
would be transferred-not outside the
state-but to other banks within the state
able and willing to pay the tax, so that
the state treasury would lose nothing,
our laws are now so favorable toward the
taxing of money that we invite, rather
than repel, 1t from other states.

Message from President on Discharge Of
Negro Soldiers.

The President sent another message 10
the Senate Monday on the Brownsville
shooting and the subsequent discharge of
the negro troops of the 25th Infantry, who
We're accused of the crime Accompany
ing the message was the report of Secre-
tary Taft on the investigation made by
Assistant Atty. Gen. Purdy and Major
Blocksom, with maps of the town and
fort, empty shells found after the shoot
ing and steel -jacketed bullets taken from
the woodwork of houses into which they
had been fired. From the testimony con-
tanned in the report and the various eX-
hibits the President draws the conclusion
that he made no mistake in dismissing
the troops, although he withdraws his
order barring the dismissed men from all
civil employment under the government.
But he says that the guilt of the soldiers
is established absolutely and that there
is no doubt whatever of his constitutional
authority in acting as he did.
The communication from Secretary Taft
gives the stories of witnesses who. swOre
that they saw negro soldiers shoot from
the fort, climb the garrison wall and shoot
into houses from the street The message
was debated for several hours in the
Senate and was finally ordered printed.

DENTAL BOARD INVESTIGATION

The hearing before Governor Kib- hey on the investigation of charges preferred against the dental board O. the territory by Dr. Wilson, and which charges it k understood were directed more particularly against pr. William c. Lentz. president of the board, oc
 cupied the greater part of the day in the executive chambers yesterday. No conclusion was announced last night and it is likely the hearing will be re- sumed this morning. The prosecution was represented by Judge F.. J. Ed wards of Globe and it is also under stood that pr. Gonzales of Bisbee Is quite active in pursuing the charges. The board was not represented by at torneys. though there were numerous dentists present from different parts of the territory. drawn by favoritism for one side or the other in the controversy or by the interest they might be cx- pected to exhibit in a matter so direct ly concerning their profession. The substance of the charges Is that the board has sought to prevent by unfair and unprofessional means. the admis- sion of new practitioners within the territory. thereby lesseuing the natur- al competition in practice.
