The Washington Star, referring to
this case, says:
Justice is stern and swift with
those who trife with the law and
tamper with the goods of others-in
small lots. Sometimes there are de-
lays, to be sure, as when a man with
a large roll kills another man, and
fights his case from court to court,
and works off half a dozen years
with appeals, or is implicated in the
trifing offense of wrecking an insur-
ance company and surrounds himself
whit capable attorneys, determined to
preserve his rights against the i'm
petuosity Of public clamor. But

ANOTHER FLASH IN THE PAN.

ANOTHER FLASH IN THE PAN.
It is reported that the announce
ment of the Presidents resolution
or decision, or whatever he may call
it, not to prosecute Hartman, has
materially relieved the pressure on
the market In Wall Street. Now, we
doubt whether this relief is more than
temporary, and such as it is, it is
more than likely that it is the result
of carefully prepared manipulation.
1t is difficult to perceive how this
proclamation of immunity to a great
criminal who has been circumstan-
TALLY charged with having misappro-
priated to his own -embezzeled
under the forms of law-huge sums
derived from the sale of corporate
stocks and bonds instead Of applying
these funds to the purposes for which
they were sold; and who, first and
last, after careful and exhaustive ex-
animation by the Interstate Corpor-
alton Commission, has been ascer-
tanned to have deliberately violated
practically every law, common and
statutory, that exists for the protec-
tion Of the public, and the safeguard
ing of the property rights and inter
ests of the stockholders and inves-
tors.
1t would be curious way RAre-
store confidence in banks, for in
stance, to demonstrate that presi-
dents, or "powers behind the throne" 4"
with the morals Of burglars, could
secure control of their boards of di-
rectOrs and deliberately loot the
banks without fear of prosecution or
punishment.
So far from restoring confidence,
this decision of the President not to
permit the prosecution Of Hartman
will cause widespread and profound
disappointment, not to say indigna-
tion.
Has it been determined to let the
real offenders-the individuals who
misuse and abuse the powers of the
corporations they happen to control
go free, and visit vengeance for
the misdeeds of these men upon the
the helpless stockholders by imposing
heavy fines upon the corporations
Just last Friday the Western Tran
sit company entered (by its officers,
of course) plea Of guilty to an in
dictment charging payment Of rebates
(by the officers, not the stockholders) i,
and was fined $4,000, which was
promptly paid out of the funds of
the stockholders, not the officers. The
officers were in no wise punished.

tiee to continue indefinitely "by
command Of the king"7 Will the

"D1sCRED1T1NG" MR.. BRYAN.

"The New York World has been
working overtime lately trying to dis
credit Mr.. Bryan" snarls the Elmira
Gazette. Was there ever baser In
gratitude for years of conscientious
endeavor to persuade Mr.. Bryan to
stop discrediting himself?
We remember Mr.. Bryan as far
back as the Wilson bill, when he was
ambitious to sacrifice beautiful and
promising young life upon the altar
Of free trade. We remember him in
the convention of 1896, when he
hurled defiance at the money devil
and the gold standard. Young, hand
some, earnest and magnetic, with a
voice like a pipe-organ and the stage
presence of consummate actor, not
even Patrick Henry could play more
skilfully upon the emotions of an
audience.
Mr.. Bryan wove dismal economies
into poetry. He riveted wings Of
song to the price of wheat. He lisped
in numbers, and the numbers were 16
and l. The cross of thorns and
crown of gold scanned like the prayer
of Chryses to Apollo.
It was then that the World under
took his political and economic edu-
cation. Eventually we tore him away
from free silver, only to see him fall
a victim to Government ownership
of railroads. No sooner had we be-
gun to ALLEVIATE his affections from
the Government-ownership idol than
he commenced burning incense to the
strange gods of the initiative and
referendum.
We shall wean him from them
eventually, but he will have something
else. There is usually one child IN
every family that catches all the in
fectious diseases known to the com
munity. He goes from whooping-
cough to measles, from measles to
mumps and from mumps to scarlet
fever. He will even develop spo-
radio case when there is none in the
neighborhood.
That is what Mr.. Bryan has been
doing for nigh unto dozen years.
And the World, which always sends
for the family physician, calls up the
Board Of Health, has the house quar-
antined and helps nurse the sufferer,
finds itself accused of trying to eds
credit" patient who has been the
object Of some Of its tenderest minis
trations.-N. Y. World.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-06-27
TELEGRAPH RATES IN AUSTRIA
Liza AND AMERICA.

Trust, is sending out circular aimed
to counteract the public indignation
aroused by the recent arbitrary in
crease in telegraph rates.
The natural suggestion enforced by
these increases is that if the Govern
ment owned the telegraph lines in the
United States, as governments own
the telegraph lines elsewhere in the
world, we should not be garroted and
robbed every time we send a tele-
gram.
The telegraph pirate responds with
a comparison between the government
telegraph system of Australia and
the corporation-owned system of
America. The Australian system cost
to construct $3.50 a mile. At this
rate the capitalization of the Wes-
tern Union would be 1926, 100000,
whereas it is but $126,OO0,000. Hence
the Western Union is not overcapi-
talized; hence also the American peO-
pie are not robbed to pay interest
charges of fcticious capital. Further
more We are to conclude that govern
ment telegraphs are more expensive
than privately owned ones.
There is assuredly some kink in
the corporation mind that prevents it
from being honest about anything.
The circular carefully obscures the
fact that the great total cost OF tel
egraph construction in Australia was
due to the building of the line across
the vasts interior desert, a wholly
uninhabited region, without food or
water, more than 1000 miles long;
the greatest, most difficult and costh-
est piece of overland telegraph con-
struction in the world The cost OF
telegraph construction in the rest OF
Australia was at the rate of about
one-half of the Western Union wa
tered capitalization, on which the
public pays the dividends.
The same circular contains SINH
larly dishonest comparison Of rates.
You can send telegraph message
from one end of Australia to the
other, or say 1000 miles, sixteen
words for twenty-four cents, the ad-
dress and signature being counted.
The circular then gives the following
specimen of an American telegram:
New York, Oct. %, 1906.
Hon. John H. Brown,
1886 Four and One-half street,
Southwest,
Washington, D. G.
Will arrive six thirty train, Penn
sylvania; meet me with carriage.
(Signed) MRS. JOHN H. BROWN.
1t says that this message could be
sent in America for twenty-five cents,
while in Australia, since the address
and signature contain twenty words
and the whole telegram thirty words,
the charge would be ffty-two cents.
In the first place, you could not
send this message in America for
twenty-five cents. The charge from
New York to Washington Is thirty
cents.

precedent be established In the Sante
Fe case be adhered to?
In that case, it will be remembered,
Mr.. Morton paid rbates and admitted
it. His road was heavily fined, while
Mr.. Morton was not only shielded
from prosecution by an act of ar
bitrary power exercised by the Prese-
idenb but he was actually translated
q to a seatsipa the Cabinet.
This was SHINING on tick and suf
fering by attorney with vengeance.
1t seems that Mr.. Morton had rem
dered some sort of service to the
President that in his ewes not only
cancelled all of his statutory sins,
and justified the arbitrary exercise,
for his protection, Of dispensing
power by the President, but entitled
him to public .honors.
Have the services heretofore rem
dered by Mr.. Hartman (that $4,000
contribution to the campaign fund,
among other things), and lively an
ticipation of similar services in the
future, had anything to do with the
sudden discovery that he cannot be
successfully prosecuted for his mis-
deeds in connection with the rail
ways?
There is an interesting constitu-
tioral question that suggests itself
in connection with the Presidents 3
course in regard to these prosecutions. =
There lis not doubt that the
President not only has the power,
but it is his duty, to order the De-
partment of Justice to proceed with
the prosecution In a proper case
where there has been unnecessary or
negligent delay This is simply a
part Of the general duty imposed upon
him by the Constitution to see to the
due administration and execution of
the laws of the United States.
But we know of no provision of
law, constitutional or statutory, that
vests the President, with the dispens-
ing or suspending power in criminal
cases, or that empowers him to stay
or to prohibit prosecution under the
law.
He has undoubted right to par
don a criminal after he is convicted,
but he has no right to pardon him
before conviction, and he has, there
fore, no right to stay or to prohibit
his prosecution. The guilt or inno-
cence of the accused is a matter for
the judiciary and the Department OF
Justice to determine in accordance
with law, and without reference to
partisan or personal services render
ed the President or anyone else.
By what warrant of law does the
President order these proposed Grim
inal prosecutions to be stopped or
abandoned?
Does the President propose to take
into his own hands and to exercise
personally all the functions of Gov
ernment-legislative, judicial, and
executive ?-Richmond Evening Jour
nal.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-01-02
Walter Whiteside,

The author of We Are King has written a most powerful drama for Mir. Walker Whiteside's annual tour this season. The new play in which MT. Whiteside will be seen at the Elks' theater Friday night is en- titled The Magic Melody"
 It is a story of love, music, artistic impulses and grain of sordid con- mercialism. MT. Whitesde has been fitted with the most congenial role he has played for years. AS Helmar, a young German violinist of genius, he runs the entire gamut of feeling. There are sparkling passages of wit in which his rich comedy gifts are given every lcope; there are tender love passages where the romantic ardor of his acting is seen to the best advantage and there are dramatic climaxes where the full plentitude of his powers reached the apex of acting.
