Railroad Stockholders Rights.

How long will the stockholders of
railroad companies, not members OF
the charmed order of "high finan-
Gers submit to the footing of prop
ties in which they are interested? OF
all the rottenness and corruption thus
far disclosed in corporation manage
ment in this country nothing has been
found to approach in villainy what is
now being published by the interstate
commerce commission of the man.
agement of various railroad corpora
tons. Constant, brazen and defiant
disregard of the duties of trustees to
stockholders is the crooked and
shameless record. That others be-
sides these pirates have any rights
never seems to occur to them. Jug
Cling with accounts ,tampering with
funds not their own, violation of the
statutes and federal laws is their
daily and favorite occupation, and the
purchase from themselves, for cor
porations which they control, of i'm
mensely inflated securities at still
more inflated prices is their profitable
and criminal pastime. AS to what the
people who have chosen them as their
trustees are entitled to never even
remotely suggests itself to them
Like the crooked faro dealer, the
right card for them always comes out
of the box. 1t seems to us that the
remedy lies in the hands of the stock.
holders themselves. Only few in
number among the stockholders are
in the conspiracy to rob the various
corporations. Meetings of those in
terested ought to be promptly called,
demanding the resignation of the re-
creant officers, and if such pressure
will not bring the desired relief the
courts ought to be appealed to to re-
move for malfeasance in Office all
such faithless trustees.
OF course, not all railroad corper-
atoms are dishonesty managed
Many are under the control of clean
and honest men. The injustice must,
therefore, not be committed of m
discriminatory condemning all rail-
road managers and directors. The
honest ones are as much. or even
more, interested in exposing and pun
ishing the guilty ones as other men,
bers of the community. But no time
should be lost in putting the brand
of infamy on all those who deserve it.

LOOTS MILLIONS.
Hartman Makes $2S, 724, 900 in Al
ton Deal.

When the interstate commerce
commission finished its inquiry into
the affairs of the Union Pacific rail-
road system there stood revealed the
enormous financial power in the rail-
road work of E. H. Hartman, his
autocratic domination over many
great corporations and the most
amazing jugglery of millions that the
country has ever known.
Starting in 1898 with the Union Pa
cihc, then only emerging from bank
ruptcy, he has piled up issues of Sc
curities to hundreds of millions,
but standing out clearly and con-
cretely above all other operations in
high finance is the astounding loot

road 1t has not been possible even
with the probe of the commission to
find the full extent of this plumber.

atoms has secured in profits from

Senator Beverage finally lost his

on the agricultural appropriation bill

the senate, but the senate conferees,

Confined in Insane Asylum.

After he had been released from an
insane hospital where he had been
held for four months under his own
protest that he was not insane, Geo.

drafted bill to. regulate the holding
of sanity inquests and the measure
was passed by the Senate Monday
night by a vote of SO to o.
Ballard, after he had been released
from the hospital, felt keenly the hu-
initiation of his position and the
measure which he drafted and which
was passed in the Senate is to give
the person who is said TO be insane
a chance to have his day in court"
The measure was introduced by Sem
ator Kittinger. 1t provides that be-
fore sanity inquest is held the per-
son concerned and whose condition Is
to be investigated must be notified so
that if he desires he may employ an
attorney to appear before the sanity

Legislative carelessness in drafting
bills was responsible for another veto
By Governor Hanly-the fourth for
that cause recorded during the ses-
sion. The Governor found that the
title of the mortgage exemption"
law was defective and he returned il
to the House without his approval.
He pointed out the fact that the title
of the bill, as it reached him, bore
very little relation to the contents
of the measure. The Supreme Cour.
would have very quickly declared it
unconstitutional for that reason, he
stated.
The House will proceed to correct
the title and rush the bill through to
passage and then send it to the SEN
ate, where there is little or no oppo-
sition to it The Governor is willing
to sign it if the title is correct 1t
increases the amount of The mortgage
exemption on real estate from s7oo
to $1,000.

Trustees Hold Meeting.

The township trustees were in town
Monday for their regular monthly
melting and for the purpose of re-
ceiving from the auditor the blanks
to be used in making the voters EMU

The trustees are required by law to
make a settlement once a year with
the auditor for whatever surplus they
may have above = certain amount in
the dog fund This settlement was
made Monday.
The enumeration which the trus-
tees will make is that of ali the vot-

This enumeration is made once in six
years and according to law must be
taken between the first of January
and the first of July. Later in the
spring the enumeration of all the
school children will be taken.

The Money in the Country.

Ten years ago very large percen-
tage of the people of this country
held to the belief that our money
system did not provide money
enough for the country's needs, and
their remedy for the scarcity was the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Jais remedy was not adopted, but
what is the situation today? There
has been very large per capita in
crease, and the worlds supply and
annual output of gold is SO large that
it gives promise even of raising the
question Of whether or not the supply
may not become so abundant as to
cause a change in prices.

To Work Sapphire Mines.

Preparations are being made to

approximate 100000 cubic yards.

What Becomes of Bills.

The question naturally arises.
What becomes of all the bills ir the
legislature?" The committees of the
house and senate kill large number
Practically every legislator has intro
duced measures "by request" He has
a constituent who has an idea that
such and such a matter needs legis-
lative attention and who goes ahead
and draws up a bill on the subject
He brings or sends it to his rcpresen
tative or senator and the latter intro
duces it, whether it has any merit or
not. The committee to which il is
assigned gets together around big
table some evening and perhaps the
bill is read, more often the cha;c.nan
tells what it is. Then with an amount
of sympathy equal to that carried by
the bronze statutes out in the state
house yard the members between
puffs at their cigars decide that the
bill is mo good and should be indef-
nitely postponed When the report is
made the next day the body, as e
general thing concurs and the bill
that perhaps meant so much to the
constituent is dead
Several hundred measures every
session "die in the committee" Such
demise means that the committee
to which was referred the bill does
not even think enough of it 70 report
on it. The session closes with the
measure still in the hands of the com
mittee.
The house and senate kill off a
good many bills on, first reading
and still greater number on second
reading and a still greater number
when they are up for passage. Those
that survive one branch and get over
to the other have only gone one-third
of the way A bill passed by the
house must run the gauntlet of the
senate and if it gets through there it
still must face the governor Cover
nor Hanly has put an end to about
dozen so far and this is expected to
be his busy week" in that line

Congressman Holidays Opinion.

Congressman Holiday, of the
Fifth district, is strongly opposed to
the ship subsidy steal, and all efforts
to whip him into line in its support
came to naught In the course of a
vigorous speech in opposition to the
measure he declared it to be funda
mentally wrong from beginning to
end. If the government is to build
ships the government ought to own
them,he said. 1t is wrong, he de-
clared to take government money and
give it to an individual He ridi-
culed the notion that the bill has
been made any better by eliminating
the cargo subsidy feature. IF ship
subsidy is good thing we can't have
too much of it and if it is bad thing
we want none of it" he asserted
Eve are told the old flag we love will
be driven from the ocean unless we

flag four years and / want to tell you

the chief benehciaries under this bill

Roosevelt Ousted Stevens.

Chief Engineer Stevens, in charge
of the actual construction work on
the Panama canal, was, in effect, dis
missed by the president, and did not
resign. This is the construction
placed on the action of the president
by senators who have seen the cor
respondence, and who know of all the
collateral facts. Administration Off
GERS take the view that the chief en-
gineer attempted to bluff the pres
ident, and that he realized this and
accepted Stevens resignation in call
ing the bluff.
From a source close to the presi-
dent it is learned that when it was
first proposed to build the isthmian
canal by contract Chief Engineer
Stevens was favorable to the sugges-
ton He saw that it possessed many
advantages. He expressed himself in
this connection both to the president
and to the secretary of war. Later,
when the advertising was done for
the contract and there was much
press discussion of the real canal
builders" which the contract system
was to develop. Mr.. Stevens had a
change of mind and heart. He did
not, however, indicate this change
officially to the authorities here.
Later, when the bids fos the con-
tract were awarded, he saw that VIM.
]. Oliver had an excellent prospect
of securing the canal contract. He
addressed a lengthy letter to the
president, in the course of which he
said that he would never be able to
get along with Oliver if the contract
was awarded to him and his associ-
ates. He took most positive stand
in the letter, and in the mind of the
president and his advisers served no
tice to the chief executive that if the
contract went to Oliver he would
give up his place on the canal work.
In effect he left an open alternative
to the president of choosing between
himself and Oliver. The president
read the letter over repeatedly and
read it no less than four times with
his advisers. 1t was the unanimous
opinion of all of them that Stevens
had been insubordinate and dictator
ial, if not disrespectful. In the Ian
guage of one of the presidents cab
met advisors, he had hung bluff"
on the president which the president
decided to call" The president did
this by cabling to Stevens that his
resignation would be accepted at once
and his successor appointed

The Closing Week.

The last week of the legislative
session confronts the usual larg
number of measures awaiting their
fate. That most of them will fail of
passage goes without saying and it i
equally true that the failure of mos
of them will be in line with the pub
lie welfare. Perhaps the Legislature
does as much good in stopping bad
legislation as it does in passing goo
bills.
AT all events the greatest peril of .
legislatures closing hours is the pas.
sage of oernicious and ill-digested
measures under the spur of excite
ment and haste 1t is then that meas
ures that are weak in public esteem
and strong only in the determined
and resourceful advocacy given them
by private interests are apt to be
rushed through with insufficient con
sidcration. 1t is then that vote
traded for on earlier measures are
expected TO be delivered. The DANCE
of the closing week is not too little
legislation, but too much.
A few things of pressing import
ance remain to be attended to; anf
for them there is ample time. On
the great platform issues discussion
has been searching and exhaustive
No member need err through igno

The Work Goes On.

The resignation of Mr. Stevens as
chief engineer at Panama suggests
the point that men may come and
men may go, but the work goes on.
We have had a succession of heads
and a succession of designations.
Each and every one of those chosen
has gone forth full OF hope and each
and every one has returned when the
opportunity offered. 1t is evident that
neither Wallace, Shonts nor Stevens
was the man for the job. In addition
ever since the project was first con-
sidered by the government there has
been continuous undercurrent of
opposition, with story after story of
Incompetence and Encouragement
The very mention of the isthmus
arouses recollections of charges and
countercharges. Our humorists re-
gard the canal as legitimate target.
Should someone find three times as
much fault as was ever found before,
we would pretend to believe at least
half of it. Now, what effect is all
this having on the canal? None.
No great project was ever accom-
plished without delays. disappoint-
ments and difficulties, while chorus
of knockers" stood by and found in
finite pleasure in condemning every
step, every leader and every method.
When Noah began to build the ark
they went up to watch him work and
told him how silly he was. There's
no use of the thing in the first place."
they said, and if you build it like
that it won't float anyway" AS a
matter of fact there was use of it,
and it did float.
When Moses and Aaron resolved
to lead the children of Israel out of
Egypt, the nation wandered in the
desert 40 years because of its croak-
ers. I'VE are doing the thing all
wrongP they complained; besides, it
isn't possible" But Moses and Aaron
persisted, and after them Joshua per-
sisted, and the tribes finally came to
their promised land.
Whenever great man and an able
man has been needed for the accom-
plishment of great work he has
been found, and the right man to
make a success of the great canal
will yet be discovered The hour al
ways produces the man.-South Bend
