A. E. Roome, superintendent of tele-
graph of the Southern Pacific, IL Is
understood. will resign shortly. and his
successor has not as yet been decided
upon. Roome. who Is at present in
Arizona, has probably one Of the most
uncomfortable positions in the Flood
building. He Is what may be termed
"a joint ofncial," being an oficer Of
the Western Union and also of the
Southern Pacific, and Is paid by both
corporations.
Roome Is held In high esteem by the
Hartman officials. and 1t Is said that 1t
is owing to this that he has offended
the Western Union people, who have
demanded his resignation on the
ground that he has shown partiality to
the railroad. There is nothing for
Roome to do but to comply. The Har-
riman people have nothing to say in
the matter, though Roome loses his
job. 1T is said. having favored them
in any contention that has arisen be-
tween the telegraph people and the
railroad. 1t is rumored that the posi-
tion has been offered to several men.
who have respectfully declined. as 1t
offers no inducements. with fair
chance of offending either one of the
two powerful corporations. The man
who takes the job has to be acceptable
to both the Hartman people and the
Gould people. and IL, he favors the
Western Union he will be fred by the
Hartman crowd, and IL he leans to-
ward -ae Hartman people he will have
the Goulds demanding his discharge.
Raflroadmen wonder how IL was possi-
BILE for Roome to have held on for so
long.

Comments on Political Matters
by the Press Of the State
NOT A QUESTION OF PARTIES

Wherever the democratic party has
had chance of success It has attracted
the campaign contributions of the great
corporations. In some states they have
supported one party Just as much as
the other. In New York and Pennsyl-
yania and Illinois there has been moth
Ing to choose between the parties on
the one hand or the other as far as
corrupt dealing with great aggrega-
tions OF capital Is concerned. Because
In these states political consciences
have been sluggish. and for historical
reasons one party has been about as
the corporations have been Indifferent
In their support.
This is the reason why any movement
to clean out the political stables must
be done by good men In both parties,
the republicans in theirs and the demo
Gratis In theirs. Both must be purified,
for both have a place in the body
politic. and II one Is corrupt the cor
ruptionists will Immediately seek ref
uge in 1T, to the detriment of the

This broad general lesson may be de-

party can be cleansed through regular
party channels. Men can be selected
as regular republicans who can and will
stand sQuarely and uncompromisingl gly
against railroad or other corporation
domination.
