While travelling in France he was
among the victims of a terrible rail

morgue was placed the body of an.
other victim, a handsome woman,
whose satchel contained some of his
visiting cards.
The authorities, suspecting nothing
irregular. cabled TO the family In
America to inform them of the two
deaths. The widow cabled back
merely ordering them to send his
body home for burial. A second
Cabio was accordingly sent from
France to say that a lady had been
travelling with him, that one of his
cards was found upon her, and that
her bag contained letters signed with
his name. A description OF the lady

at Brennan, who uttered piercing

Brennan was dead. although they
made no attempt to investigate.
They returned to town To ypend the

found round trip ticket from Bos-
ton to Los Angeles. good for nine
months, and one-way ticket from
Kansas City to San Diego. He had
evidently got off the train at Kan

ticket.
The suspicious of the train crew
were aroused by his actions on the
train and he was closely watched. He
got off the train at Las Animas and
it required the united efforts Of
three men'to get him back on again.
When he reached La Junta he tried
to purchase a return ticket to Bos-

In the spring of 1856 Mr.. Higbee
went to Salt Lake City at the time
of the Mormon outbreak. The COM
mand WIS 3. 900 strong. but on the
arrival Of the soldiers the Mormons
abandoned the city and strongholds
and there was no fighting. Only
about thirty persons could be found.
When the soldiers went to Salt Lake
City they passed over the ground
where Denver now stands.
In 1850 Mr.. Higbee settled on
Purgatoire creek, with three others,
where Trinidad is now situated. and
remained until 1866, ranching and
cattle raising. He then removed to
Nine Mile bottom, where he lived
until his death. He was probably
the oldest resident of Bent and Otero
counties, and Higbee postofice and
Higbee precinct were named for
him.

lnSuring the Clerks.

The statement given publicity yes
terday by George w. Leadley, out
lining the new proposals for insur-
ing the civil service employees in
Washington, is plainly the result of
careful outworking, along scientific
actuarial lines, of an idea which has
much to commend it. Practically il
proposes that the Government shall
go into the insurance business; but
why notP Other governments un-
dertake vastly more onerous busi-
ness responsibilities. And moreover,
the best thought of today runs
strongly toward the idea of a COM
munity assumption of responsibility
for the derelicts of society. The
Development of employers liability
in Great Britain and of insurance of
working people in Germany are
manifestations of the same thing;
they recognize that society having
benefited by the effort of the best
years, must somehow assure provi-
sion for the less productive ones.
This proposal Of Government trus-
teeship and management of an in
surance fund to be provided by the
clerks themselves is not at all start
| ling. Certainly the Government
might well do as much for its peo-
pie as the Pennsylvania and Burling-
ton railroads do. The cry of pater-
nalism is always raised; but the
most inevitably paternalistic thing
in the world is the factory system
of production. That system is here
and is certain to stay 1t brings
immense advantages to society as n
whole, and some serious disadyan-
tages both to the community and
to the individuals who work under
it. Reaping the benefits, the com
munity cannot ignore the duty il
owes to compensate for the disad-
vantages.
There is one large advantage
about this proposal of an insurance
system. 1t aims TO place every
worker in position Of independence
of every other. 1t is not commun-
istie- II does not ask the younger
clerks Of today TO care for the su,
perannuated ones. It promises to
make appeal 70 Congress and also
TO the majority of employees. And
any system that shall make this an
peal, and make it so strongly that
Congress may be induced to adopt
il, will be a large accomplishment
After it is once adopted. there viii
be little chance of its abandonment
There may be required a good deal
of development, adjustment, and re.
organization as experience demon,

Senator PettuS.

Senator Edmund Winston Pettus,
reported stricken suddenly and un-
likely 10 recover. is the oldest mem
Ter of the Congress of the United
States. Born in 1921, he entered
upon his eighty-seventh year a fort
night ago. Next to him comes the
venerable Whyte of Maryland, who
though little younger than Pettus
looks and acts the man of sixty, and
the other day presided over a har-
mony conference of the turbulent
Maryland Democracy. =
1t is a striking thought that years
before gold was discoyered in Cali
fornia, even before the Mexican war,
this nestor of the Upper Chamber
had made place for himself among
the strong men of the Alabama bar
and had entered upon a most prom
Using public career. He served in
the Mexican war and rose to the
rank of brigadier in the Confeder-
ate army. He joined the movement
TO California after the Mexican war,
but returned to his State soon and
never again claimed citizenship else
where In a speech on the Senate
floor last winter he said that he and
his venerable colleague, Morgan, had
lived in the same Alabama village,
Selma, for fifty years.
Morgan and Pettus were the two
grand old men of the Senate. Nor
gan was called to his reward only
few weeks ago, and it has been
realized by the friends of Senator
Pettus for some months that his
/ strength was fast failing.
Morgan and Pettus were repre-
sentatives Of the old school of South
ern craftsmanship. They were trust
ed by their constituents so implicit
ly that when they cast their votes
against the railroad rate legislation
standing against the whole Senate
in doing so, there was no serious
! murmur of opposition despite that
the new Alabama-the Alabama OF
mines and furnaces and mills, anG
great, booming, thriving industrial
cities-with all its interest in behalf
of that legislation. would have beer
sadly disappointed at its defeat
These two veterans at least made
consistent records. They voted, a,
they had argued and worked, against
the measure, and thereby proved
the courage of their convictions.
The group of elder statesmen is
rapidly passing to the great beyond
and with them the older ideals and
methods win surely go. The Sen
ate of the future is plainly TO be
decidedly different from that of the
past. 1t rs becoming more and more

The UndOing of John Sharp.

The Hon. Tom Watson, of GeOr-
gia, is taking up the cudgels in IA
vor of Vardaman and against Will
liams in the Mississippi Senatorial
fight. His argument that Williams
is tool of Wall Street did not give
promise of much eject at first, as
Wall Street seemingly had not found
out about it. But now comes the
JeffersOnian, which is the weekly
organ of Watson, and prints a pic
ture of the log cabin in which. Var
daman was born.
This seems to settle the matter in
favor Of Vardaman. The testimony
seems irrefragable that John Sharp
Williams not only was not born in
log cabin but actually was guilty
of the inexcusable political blunder
of being born in a brick house, two
stories high, with real glass in the
windows and door that swung on
iron hinges bought at the store!
1t is almost unbelievable that this
can be true of man who has so
long and artfully deceived the pee
pul; yet, with all in mind that Wat
son has related of the cormorants
of capital-their devilish cleverness,
their wicked shrewdness. their fend-
ish skill in making black seem white
it may not be impossible. While
/ accepting IL as accurate, however,
one cannot but marvel that Williams
/ should have been guilty of such a
mistake. So far-seeing and skinful
a villain certainly should have known
that here he was leaving, in sight
of all men, the evidence that must
one day be his damnation.
But there is one aspect Of this
matter not yet fully elucidated, TO
which the Hon. Toms attention is
respectfully invited. Is the authen-
ITCHY of the Vardaman log house
established beyond possibility of ca
vii? Latterly il has become too
much the fashion to Perpetrate ille-
gitimate log cabins, made from
memory by the wash-drawing proc
ess, upon a gullible public as an
cestral homes of statesmen, The
painful case of the Fairbanks log
cabin Is so fresh in mind that it
need not be discussed in detail. The
Nardaman log cabin viii be expect
ed to produce affidavits by eye
witnesses, and Mr.. Watson will do
well 10 secure these without delay
There is no telling but the minions
of Williams and Wall Street may
turn out some night, burn that Var
daman cabin, and then triumphantly
announce that il is a fake, a fraud
and figment of fancy.

HAVE THE TIMES MAILED TO YOU.
SUNDAY. JULY %, 1907.
The Crisis at Hand.

1t is probably fortunate that Sun
day intervenes between the arrest
and release of President Finley, at
Asheville, and the next day for
transaction of general business. The
clashing authorities in North Caro-
lima and the railroad men who are
furnishing the bone of contention
may decide TO spend Sunday think
ing it over.
This affair has reached the point
where it demands the best thought
of everybody concerned. The South
eru and Coast Line railways stand
TO lose a great deal more than they
can gain by any policy of continued
opposition to the State authorities
The Legislature of North Carolina
has cards in its sleeve that it will
be certain TO play if it is called into
this game: and Governor Glenn is
pretty certain to send for il.
Neither the railroads nor the Fed
eral authorities occupy such a po-
sitiOn of advantage, at the opening
OF this controversy, as to justify
either of them in a desire 10 press
for the eventuahties which have
been brought into plain sight by the
latest Developments The. crisis is
manifestly at hand, and it is to be
hoped that something will give
before the crash comes.
