FORAKER SLIDES DOWN.
Continued From Page One.

Senator Foraker, in taking the
floor, said llc was not aware there
were to be amy speeches on the reso-
luton and he desired to close the
debate. BY his resolution simply an
investigation OF the facts was to be
made. The scope of his resolution
was net such as to bring into the
investigation the question of the
president IS power. However, he
said, he was not particular about
language. He was more concerned
about securing an opportunity for
the men charged with the crime to
be heard.
A peculiar seiisitivenesS had de-
veloped regarding the scope of the
inquiry, he said. To show this Mr.,
Foraker called attention to the pre-.
lim:mary resolution calling on the
president for the facts. No Cnc had
taken exceptions and he quoted Mr.
- sooner's remarks at the time
favoring their adoption. He calle]
attention to this simply to show
that then so senator had any OBJ.
lection to calling for "the facts
connected. wit.>xhe discharge of
these soldiers. In his present re.
solution he had used precisely the
same language.
Mr.. Foraker disclaimed that he
had attacked the president. Or
the contrary, he said, he had de-
Tended him. He had said Inc bclicv
ed the president had been imposed
upcn in the evidence ,lpcn whicl
he had based his action
There was, he maintained, n,
place as yet provided where thcs,
men could establish their innocence
He had NJ doubt 100, maybe 125
OF the men would satisfy the com
mittcc that they had no part in The
shootings. This would place thos,
men where the president could cx
tend the help hc had promised b,
restoring these men.
After his long service Mr.. For
aker said he did not like the hint
which had been thrown out that hi
motives were other than to pro
m;te the public good.
To meet all objections whicl
might possibly be raised Mr.. For
aker said he had prepared anothe
resolution, which he offered as
substitute for the one he ha,
pending. This resolution. he said
was not carnble of being interpret
ed by anybody as limitng in an,
manner the power it conferred upol
the committee to make a thorough
uvestigat i)n Of all the facts con
nee ed with the affray.

unforeseen contingencies. The en-
forcement Of the law is put Into the
hands of the interstate commerce
commission and a fine Of from 500 to
$1,000 for each and every offcnse is

This gives statutory form to a
regulation which the railway en-
ployes, through their organizations,
have asked for. which some railroad
have incorporated In their
regulations and which the general
public is bound to regard with sat-
sfaction. Men who have not had
the rest that nature demands cannot
safely be placed in charge of rail
road signals, switches, brakes and
locomotives. II Is unfair to them
and IL Is menace to the lives OF
passengers and to the property of the
companies and their patrons AS a
purely company regulation, the six
ltecn-hour rule has been subject to
too many exceptions, and the virtue
of the law lies in making the rule
obligatory under penalty, with re-
spect to all companies engaged in
interstate traffic. 1t Is clear that
this law should be worded so as to
accomplish the universally desired
result without working any hard.

To the Editor of The Republican. Sir:
 The enemy has surrendered. A-:- zonians are to be congratulated. New Mexico Is to become a state. Arizona is free. thank God. And thanks 10 5he loyal citizens of this territory who have made and won the victory. We owe much to F. NJ. Murphy, ex-Iiov- ernor Murphy. Judge Pinney. Dwight B. Heard and the committees, for the splendid and successful fight made in th'. ,.alls of coagi css. We owe much 10 Senator Foraker and Mark Smith Tor the splendid fight they put up in behalf of Arizona. Now We can go on and rest content under our own vine and fig tree, and feel happy in the thC ught that Arizona will in due time become a state. Loyal men and wo- men hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder will feel just pride in assist ing to build up and make a great and prosperous state. Let us never for get the debt of gratitude We owe to those who aided most in the trying hours. Let us now go to work and select an untrammeled and uninstruct- Cd delegation to the next national con- vention, so that Arizona can take af- vantage of the situation and do that V hich is thought best for her interes' $.

practical tests may be followed, it would appear to be essential that the navy should return from the Pacific by what is known as the Northwest Passage.
 Why not let the president have his way just once? Possibly he would be content for a while to quit tampering with the business machinery of the country in which case the improve ment in conditions would make it pos sible to build another navy in year or two. if We should be so unfortunate. as to lose the one We now have, and still be better off than is likely to be the case If there Is no let up to the manifest opposition to legitimate bus mess interests so prevalent at the present time. Of course I realize. it will be claimed by some that the pres ident is only taking hand in business matters to the extent of punishing lawbreakers, and that innocent and honest business men have nothing to fear. etc, implying that all who op- pose My Policies are in sympathy with wrongdoing, or at least willing to allow it to pass unchallenged. Six months ago such claims would have been more readily accepted than they are today.

There was never a more utter fail ure than that of the governments case against Senator Borah in connection with the Idaho land frauds. Not the slightest connection was established between the defendant and the alleged frauds but it was abundantly proved that government officials were guilty of subornation of perjury, and that some one in the interest of the pros ecution was guilty of forgery in the alteration of the date of check which was offered in evidence. There was behind the action against the sena- tor. political hatred, a purpose to blacken the memory of his dead friend, Governor Steunenberg. and the ambition of government officials to secure the conviction of a prominent citizen. The court apparently did what il could to aid the government. but it was all undone in an instant by a fair and level headed jury. Senator Borah now, in consequence, occupies a higher place in the estimation of his fellow citizens than he did before.
