Railroad Men in the CAMPAIGN.

Cedar Rapids Republican: A pop
ular political writer recently made an
interesting letter out of what some
one told him was slight tendency to
Bryan among railroad men There
are no doubt plenty of railroad men
who will vote for Mr.. Bryan, as there
will be plenty of other men who will
vote for him. But there is no ten
dency in that direction.
What can Mr.. Bryan do for railroad
men? Even if he could be elected,
he would stand alone The congress
is sure to be controlled by Republi-
cans. The senate is assuredly Repub.
lican during the next four years. Mr..
Bryan could do great deal of talk
ing, but he could do nothing else.
The railroad men have suffered
some in the immediate past, at the
hands of agitators Railroads have
not been as prosperous as they used
to be. There have been curtailments
in many directions and the brunt of
such curtailments has been borne by
the men who work for wages They
are the men who have been laid or,
or compelled to work on reduced
hours. The railroad men have had
quite enough OF this. They are going
to vote for themselves and for their
own interests, rather than for the pol
ticians who damn railroads as corpor-
ations while cajoling the railroad en-
ployes for votes The railroad men
are hardly going to vote for the men
who profess to be against the rail-
roads. They have had CROUCH OF that
kind of demagogism.

Roxbury.

To the Editor of The Bee: In your issue of April 3, l saw long article headed Roxbury. The Ward Case. Be- ing somewhat acquainted with the town and MT Ward, read and reread it with a great deal of interest and especially one short paragraph, which l wish you would reprint with my explana- tion of said paragraph. The paragraph reads as follows:
 The following are samples of embez- clement charged against him. In this case it was charged that MT Ward had collected taxes for 1904 on the proper ty of certain woman and had not paid such taxes to the town treasurer; as a matter of fact this woman had never paid her tax for 1904.
 Now, Mir Editor, and the reading pub lie, let me explain the matter as l un- derstand it from her two agents and her son. This woman's son paid her 1904 tax in 1906 and received receipt for the same which he showed to three residents of Roxbury and requested them to cast the interests on the above 1904 tax; for he thought the collector had not figured it correctly; he also showed it to his two brothers and sis ter. Now it seems to the writer that this evidence should be sufficient in the minds of fair minded public to convince them that this tax was paid.
 Now for the reason why this tax was paid the second time. This woman's son paid her tax on the sev- enth day of the week, or in other words on Gods holy Sabbath day, better known as Sunday, and either lost the receipt or mislaid it en reaching home for it cannot be found. The son has consulted the very best counsel the state affords and they all agree that if the woman in question would take the case to Court of Equity they would guarantee she would win out. But life is too short and money to scarce to travel the labyrinth of a half dozen courts before you reach one that will give you justice and equity. I wish to cast no reflections on Roxbury's highly esteemed and cultured tax collector, far be it from me to do so.
 IA Lover of Justice to All Men also Women.
 Note. If the above facts have been laid before that clear-headed and in- corruptible lawyer, Hon D. T. Warner, states attorney, every one must re- spect the decision arrived at, for his high character. ability and probity are beyond question. This will conclude the discussion as far as The Bee is con- cerned as the facts on both sides have been stated Editor.

Having recovered his senses, so to
speak. Dicky took a rapid look around
before dropping on his face. There
was no descent on the water side. but
there was such a thing as crawling
along the rampant to the point where
it turned toward the courtyard. He
understood the topography of the cas-
tie enough to know that at some point
between him and the courtyard the
rampant made a rapid descent.
He crawled off, therefore, keeping
well in the shadow of the castle wall,
until he came to the corner where the
rampant turned at right angles and led
straight TO the courtyard. Once around

directly on the courtyard. Dicky was
near enough to hear the tramp of the
sentries as they marched up and down,
but he was perfectly concealed by the
darkness. In spite of his critical posi-
ton Dicky had meant to look in at the
prison window and see what his com
rades were doing al he passed but he
miscounted the openings, and when he
peered stealthily in at one he found
himself looking down into the guard
room of the Tripolitans.
1t was then nearly o'clock in the
morning and the night sky had clouded
over promising storm and rain. Then,
if ever, was Dicky's chance to reach
the ground unobserved. He crept to
the edge of the rampant and looked
down, but it was twenty feet to the
ground
Dicky reflected that if he should find
himself on the ground with a broken
leg or arm he would be worse off than

and then the hopelessness of reaching

Dicky knew; but being accustomed to
sliding down quickly, he believed that
he could get considerably nearer the
ground before the frail rope gave way
AS soon as the strips were tied to-
gether andAwisted he fastened it to a
bar of the window at the corner, and
watching until the sentry's back was
turned he slid down. The rope, con-
ceaIed by the darkness, proved stronger
than he thought and did not give way
until he was near enough to the ground
to escape with good shaking up.
He found himself in a corner Of the
courtyard. and directly in front of him
were a number ,of water butts. The
nearest one had loose cover on top.
and Dicky, softly lifting the cover,
found to his delight that there was
only few inches of water inside He
was about to crawl in, under cover of

was turned, when it occurred to him
