THE PASSING OF HAYWOOD

William d. Haywood, who spoke
in Fort Worth Tuesday night, adj
vised the Farmers Union to enter
politics, denounced the supreme
courts of the country, advised every
body to defy court injunctions and
uttered several somewhat pronoun-
ced views.
Particularly appropriate at this
time and of value in judging the
weight of Haywood and what he
stands for, is brief article in the
Telluride (Colo.) Journal, publish
ed about the time Mr.. Haywood
started on his present lecture tour.
1t is entitled THE Passing of Hay
wood and Is as follows:
With the departure of William D.
Haywood for the east, the once pow
erful official of the federation, pass
es out Of the life of the Western
Federation of Miners. Like the fall
of Babylon, the strength of the for
mer secretary-treasurer has crumb-
led In the old days of the federation
those wild, radical days of strife
and strike Bill Haywood was a fac
tor to be reckoned with in the coun-
ellis of the federation.
But saner and more conserva-
tive rule now sways the destinies of
the miners-and the picturesque
features, vivid and startling enough
to be the topic of magazines and the
press of the world for years, have
gone In future the Western FEEDER
alton will drop to the ranks of 9TH
er labor organizations, still strong.
it is true, but lending its strength
toward improved conditions and
higher wages, always gained through
deliberations and consultations with
mine owners, and tempered by the
polite commands of federation con-
servatism.
And it may be that Charles Moy-
/ err, president, sees the handwriting
oh AhC wall. ~ may Iit tltit hio tltdl
vision can forecast the future Be
this as it will, Charley Meyer is the
bright, shining light of the present
convention of miners. His mind anC
| brain are steering the federation
ship into calm and untroubled wat
ers, away from radicaiism, away
| from socialism and away from the
pitfalls of former years which have
cost the miners hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars and much needless
shedding of blood.
| And in the future the Haywoods,
| the Orchards, the st. Johns and
| those other firery agitators will be
| banished and in their place will rise
a conservative, peaceful element
that will bring surcease from trou-
! bles and make the Western Fedora
ton of Miners an organization to be
dealt with on higher plane by
mine owners and Colorado citizens

A Bedouin's Idea Of Locomotive.

1t is interesting to know that the
railroad between Jaffa and Jerusalem
was made possible by locomotives
from Philadelphia. They were orig

a road in Central America which I'M
fortunately could not pay for them
when they were ready for deliver.
They happened to be just right for the
Jaffa-Jerusalem line and were at once
purchased and shipped.

What 10 Education7

Herbert Spencer tells us In one short.
pregnant sentence that the function Of
education is to prepare us for com
plete living.
A true chord is touched by Sydney
Smith when he urges the Importance of
happiness as an aid to education. He
says. If you make children happy
now. you make them happy twenty
years hence by the memory Of 1t"
Equally wise are the words Of Sir
ure as well as power. 1t should lead
us all to try with Milton to behold the
bright countenance of truth in the still
air of study"

THE INDIVIDUAL AND HIS
RIGHTS.

In the August number of The
North American Review, Mr.. w. d.
Howells makes what he calls Some
Unpalatable Suggestions. These
suggestions concern mainly the
manner in which the state deals with
those who are convicted of crime.
The criminal is incarcerated and his
family, If he has one, is left without
support Mr.. Howells declares that
in appropriating the fruit of the con-
vict's enforced labor, instead of ap-
plying it to the support of his family
or giving 1t to himself when he re-
gains his freedom, the state itself be
comes a thief. AS to the wretched
man who after long delay is acquit-
ted OF the crime charged against
him by the state, Mr.. Howells says:
What reparation does the state
make him for his time, of which it
has wasted years, and for the agony
which 1t has inflicted upon an inno-
cent man? Does it compute his
wrong in money, and offer to re-
compense him for his loss and pain ?
Does it formally claim the sovereign
right, the sacred privilege, of paying
his counsel, the men who have saw
ed him from its error, and kept
from it's annals the strain of his
guiltless death? Does it declare,
with forms of peculiar solemnity in
tribunal. that ne has been deeply
wronged and that now he must be
righted in the esteem of all Just
men? Nothing of the kind. 1t simply
lets him go, under the cloud that it
does nothing else to lift from him,
and leaves him to pay the whole
cost of his fight for life. Sometimes
there is popular applause at the ac-
quittal of an accused man, and
then an officer commands silence in
the court. But ought there to be 81
lence in the court? Would not the
courts dignity be more respected by
joyful noise, which should echo
through all the land, proclaiming
the escape of the state from the
commission of a disgraceful blum
der? AS yet the courts think not;
but the circumstances may yet eff
feet even the sort of citizen we have
been imagining as grotesque. Such
citizen may say, to be sure, that
we are not different from the rest of
the civilized world in these features
of our criminal procedure, and he
can justly hold that nowhere is an
accused person Unidentified for his
losses through the laundering OF
the state. He can say, and probably
will continue to say, that 1t is

GUESTS GATHER, BUT THE
HOST HAS DISAPPEARED

Louisville, Ky.-Friends gathered
at the feast in honor OF the fiftleth
birthday of Andrew Schoen, an up
holsterer, who lives at 1919 Twenty
fourth street, were compelled to dis
pense with festivities through the alb
sence OF their host, whose sudden
disappearance has spread a pail over
the entire neighborhood.
1t was Schoen's fiftieth birthday,
and in honor OF the happy event 1t
had been arranged that large num-
Der OF friends should gather at his
home In the evening. Early in the
morning he told his wife that he
would take a car ride and walk in
Cherokee park for fresh air.
Since then he has not been seen,

.BEATED HONORS ARE COMING To
ONE HEROIC AMERICAN SOLDIER

IA miles down and IS miles up the
river.
As DeSoto and his followers were
the first white men to discover the
Mississippi river, 81 were they the
first to select a temporary resting
place on the banks of the Ohio at
Fort Massac. Hence, it was first oc-
cupied by white men in 1912.
George Rogers Clark carried the
American flag with him during his
conquest of the Northwest. AS he
landed at Fort Massac June "a, 1878,
it is not only possible but quite prob
able that at Fort Massac the Stars
and Stripes were first unfurled in
Illinois by Clark and his men.
In 1887 Spain endeavored to in
trigue for the seizure of Fort Massac.
The price to be paid was 100000
Luckily, the plot failed.
In 1874, when General Wayne sent
Major Thomas Doyle to serve as a
garrison the fort was occupied for the
first time by military forces Of the
United States. Fort Massac, thus re-
built and garrisoned, became a post
Of considerable importance, and so
remained until after Burr's conspir-
acy.
Aaron Burr arrived there in June,
1905, spending four days with Gem
eral Wilkinson. He sought to aid
the Spanish, who were advancing up
on wilkinson. Burr's colleague in
this enterprise was Blennerhasset.
whose wife spent a day and night at
Fort Massac. Wilkinson reported
Burr's traitorous act to President
jefferson and aided in arresting the
guilty.
During the war Of 1912 Fort Mas
sac was well equipped and was not
really abandoned until 1914.

BLOWING OF WHISTLES AWAk.
ENEo SLEEPING ONES AT
MIDNIGHT LAST NIGHT. e..

The New Year was ushered in
with a vim. The old was pushed out
with a sigh.
AS the whistles shrieked and the
gongs sounded at ~ O'Clock last
night. another year, the 1907th, in
the calendar of time passed into OBJ
livion, taking with it the hopes. the
Joys and the ambitions of the mil.
lions OF the earth.
Following quickly on the footsteps
of the departing year, the New
Year, bringing with 1t hope of the
future and all that has been expec.
ted and aspired too in the old, was
ushered in.
II was gladstone time in Ard.

watching parties saw the old year
depart and the new come in. Games
were played unt.l the time came %

when all arose to drink toast to
the infant-190S.
The year which has Just passed
has in all probability brought the
richest blessings to the state OF Ok
lahoma of any that has ever yet
passed over her head. II has given
to a new country the right to gov
ern herself, and all the privileges
that go Herewith.
To the city of Ardmore the fates
have been unusually kind the past
year. 1t has seen the struggling
town blossom and bloom into city

has seen development In every line
of industry.
The year just departing has beer

and so We toast its opportunities.
