The Song OF the Newspaper Men

How dear to my heart arc the old
railroad passes,
As fond recollection presents them
to view;
The passes that lifted me over the
masses,
The "trips'' and the Ground trips'
and the Fannuals," too:
The B. 4 o. pass and the Union
Pacific,
The passes I've had on the ID. Il

The Santa Fe pass, that with

me;
Oh beautiful passes, Oh, dear rail
road passes,
Which noble officials once issued
to me!
Those small strips Of gpapeEyI al,
ways will treasure,
Although no conductor may honor
them now;
All, once they were sources of eX-
J quisite pleasure,
And still they send happy thrills
81 through me, somehow.
1--we ridden on passes from ocean
to ocean,
live travelled in Pullman and par
/ lor cars free;
Alas, why did Hepburn conceive
the wild notion
tor taking my dear railroad passes
from me;
Oh, beautiful passes, OH glorious
passes,
The passes that brought so mucI
comfort to me,
They tell me It's useless to hops
for a minute
That ways may be found for evad
ing the law;
There's not the least sign for

! drown, and may not cen clutcl
at straw!
Behold me a victim of sad con
temptation,
| A future all dismal and passless
see,
The joys. that accompany fle
transportation
They've ruthlessly taken foreve
from me!
Farewell to the passes, the dea
railroad passes,
THAT never again may bring glad

gram appeared in the newspapers of Sunday last:
 AKRON, Ohio, June 7.-Senator J. B. Foraker's state headquarters located here, remained open exactly three weeks. They were closed today by his colleague, Sengs or Charles F. Dick Dicks action indicates the total sur render upon the part of the state organization, controlled by them for years, and the abandonment of Fora ker's fight against Secretary Taft Dick is out of the city.
 When Dick returned from Washing ton he brought many clerks and large i quantity of office equipment with him, announcing that he would spend the summer at home. Headquarters for | Foraker were opened and the scenes enacted then were repeated today when all equipment was packed mp prepara- l tory to shipment to Washington. The clerks will return to the national capital with the equipment.
 Dick and Foraker either have aban- doned an active campaign to preserve their organization or they have decided to conduct "gum shoe" campaign. Meanwhile the Taft headquarters in | Columbus has big corps of clerks and stenographers working at top speed. | Literature is being sent to all parts of the country in an effort to arouse inter- est in behalf of the war secretary's presidential campaign.
 So that winds up the attempt to make presidential nominee of Senator Foraker. The republicans of his own state will not have it. While visiting Ohio last winter the writer learned the fact very clearly. Senator Foraker's sub servience to corporation interests was the main cause of the distrust engendered in the hearts of his own people. And uot the least of his sins in that line was his atti- tude upon the statehood propos! ton for Arizona and New Mexico. The people of Ohio will never stand for two states out here.
 And the gratitude" that Ari- zonans were implored to show for the "hre alarm senator" will have no opportunity for naturalization. No one but the editors of two or three corporation owned democratic newspapers in Arizona ever thought there would be an opportunity

FIEND OR WHAT?

It is but charity to express or enter tain belief that Harry Orchard, the state's chief witness i'll the Haywood murder trial, is insane It is hard for one to believe that any being suppos- edlv possessed of human understanding, brain and heart could become so hardened, so steeped in crime, so utterly devoid of all moral sense as this man appeared to be while being questioned in the witness stand.
 This more than tiend, for such he is, if not insane, cooly and with the ap- pearance of feeling something akin to pride ill his ghastly narrative, told a story of cold blooded, deliberate, whole sale murder that is almost beyond the comprehension of man. And while re- citing this most horrible and blood curdling of tales, Orchard is described in the press dispatches as being perfectly self possessed, apparently the least affected person in the crowded room.
 Gan this man be human? And if so, is 1t possible for him to be possessed of normal mind when he so brazenly admits to having descended to depths of depravitv and crime but seldom reached in the history of the world?-Arizona Gazette.
 The moral of the story told by Orchard Is that the boasted civil lzatlon of the twentieth century has not changed the hearts of men :; and that the crimes of the Borgias and other celebrated criminals of history may be repeated whenever there Is an incentive; which in- centive appears to have been sup piled in this instance by the labor troubles in Colorado and Idaho.
 That the leaders in the Western Federation of Miners are implicated in the deeply laid crimes perpe- srated by the self-confessed criminal remains to be proved. The state will have to corroborate without cavl the confession of Orchard and the defence may disprove his testi- raony. It s too early yet to pass upon those questions. The defence seem disposed to set up a theory that Orchard has been q tool of organized capital employed tc create public sentiment against the Western Federation of Miners, and incidentally to break the power ol trades unionism all over the civil. izel world. And it is believed that will be the defence. If that i; proved there will be no change 1T the terrible condition of affairs. TC establish that defence will be tC shift simply the responsibility fol wholesale subornation of murder aud other heinous crimes from the shoulders of Mover, Haywood and Pettibone to those of concealed influence somewhere upon the other
