Death of Frank Thomas

past in charge of the paint de
partment for the Santa Fe, died
at the company hospital III Los
Angeles last Sunday morning the
Immediate cause being a hem
morhage of the brain Mr. Tho
mas suffered a severe attack OF
pneumonia about a year ago
and never fully recovered from
the effects of his illness.
Born in Forest, Ont, Canada,
on August 4, 1913, MI Thomas
received his early education at
that place later taking up the
study OF dentistry which probes
sion he practiced for many years.
A number Of years ago Mr.. Tho
mas left Canada and located in
New York, afterwards moving
to St. Louis, following the trade
of painter.
In 1886 Mr.. Thomas took up
his residence at Albuquerque
where he had taken employment
with the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad company. From Albu-
querque he was transferred, In
1895. to W1nslow for the same
company and when the Santa
Fe took over the A. & P. Mr..
Thomas was one of the many
EMPLOYEES who continued to
work for the new corporation,
residing here continually for the
past thirteen years.
Mr.. Thomas was a prominent
member OF the Masonic Frater-
nifty, having first became afhllat-
ed with that order IN St. Louis.
He was a member of the Com
mandery and the Shrine at Albu
querque, as we'll as a member Of
Temple Chapter, No. s, r A. NJ,
of Winslow, holding the office OF
High Priest of the Chapter at the

GUFFEY IS FOR BRYAN.

James NJ. Guffey and State Treas
urer Berry had lengthy confer
ence recently on politics, and as a
result there was burying of the
hatchet regarding Bryan, for whom
it is understood, there will be SOL
id Pennsylvania delegation to Den
yer. Guffey has consented to with
draw his bitter opposition to the
Nebraskan and will go along as an
evidence that everything is peace
full.
William J. Brennan, personal
representative of Gu6ey, asked for
a conference with Alderman John
A, Martin, who has been carrying
on most aggressive Bryan cam
paign in Guffey's own district, and
the conference was held later in the
day. 1t is understood that Martin
was informed that Guffey's opposi-
tion to the Bryan boom had been
withdrawn and that peace was now
desired above all things.
AS matters appeared before this
conference, Brennan, who was a
candidate for national delegate
against Martin, was booked for de-
feat.

THE PENNSY.

The Philadelphia ReeOrd said
editorially recently: The gross
earnings of all lines directly oper-
ated by the Pennsylvania railroad
i'll 1907 were SI64,SI2,S25. Before
the Civil War there was no year
when the ordinary revenue of the
United States government reached
half that sum. Even in 1868 the
revenues of the government, apart
from proceeds of loans, was only
twothirds the gross earnings of the
Pennsylvania lines last year. There
is another comparison that shows
the vastness OF this railroad system.
In 1870 twenty-eight runk-line
systems of railroads in the United
States had gross earnings only SIo,-
900, 900 greater than those OF the
Pennsylvania, and their operating
expenses were IS, 900, 900 less than
those of the Pennsylvania railroad
last year. For several years the
company has been spending enor-
nous sums Of money on extensions,
terminals and improvements. While
these are part of the plant, and
their cost might not improperly
have been raised entirely from
capital, the company has pursued
the more prudent course of paying
moderate dividends and using much
of its income in increasing the
value of the property. For eX-
ample, for construction, equipment
and real estate on the main line be-
tween New York and Pittsburg,
the company last year expended
little less than $50, 900, ,ooc, of which
less than half was charged to capi-
tai, and more than quarter each
to income and the extraordinary eX-
penditure fund. Of the expendi-
lures on the New York tunnel ex-
tension nearly $40, 900, 900 has been
charged to capital and $50, 900, 900
to income and the profit and loss
account. The number of tons of
freight moved on the five grand
divisions east of Pittsburg and Erie
last year over the year before and
the number of passengers moved
increased S.45 per cent. showed an
increase of thirty per cent. There
was decrease in the gross and net
earnings per ton mile and de-
crease of nearly one-third in the
net earnings per passenger than
mile, part of which is attributed
to the Two-cent Fare law.

BOOST THE BOOSTER.

Boost the booster" That is
the official slogan of a little town
out in Missouri that has double the
population now that it had at the
census of 1900. These people had
been quarreling among themselves
for years and standing still. If one
OF their number was getting OH in
the world, all the rest were jealous,
and at once began to put a sprag in
his wheel, and to re,ard his pro-
gress. The merchants there would
not patronize each other. They
would send their money seven hun
dred and eighty-four miles away,
before they would carry it across
the street and pay it to a brother
merchant for goods that he sold and
they didn't. They were glad to get
the farmers trade, but they didn't
want to bother to handle the stuff
that the farmer had to sell. They
growled, they howled, and they all
tried to play sharp games with each
other. Finally some one proposed
a Boost the Booster" club. The
idea took, and almost everybody
joined that club. To-day their main
street is paved with asphalt, in
place of the mud of eight years ago.
They have number of nice, new
brick and cement block buildings.
The town is prosperous and BOOM
ing, and everybody is boosting the
boosters. There are other towns
than this one in Missouri where
This could be put into practice with
very good results. -DnShore ReOieaO.

THE STATE NEEDS HIM.

1t is reported that all effort is be-
ing made in Columbia county to de-
feat Representative VIM. T. Greasy
for denomination. This would be
a state wide misfortune were it to
succeed. Mr.. Greasy is one of the
really strong men of the Pennsylva-
MIA legislature. His record is ex-
ceptionally meritorious and he has
rendered the people of the whole
state most valuable service in fight
ing and in many cases defeating
legislation of the mos: shameless
character proposed i'll the interest
of political bandits and their corpo.
ration principles.
Mr.. Greasy has been in the house
for several years and he has come
to know the ropes as no new man
could hope to learn them without
at least an equal length of service
and an equal grasp of the funda-
mentals of good government. The
Columbia farmer is man of sterling
integrity, of courage and of deep
and abiding conviction. There is
no better Democrat in the state
than this big man who commands
the respect as he has compelled the
wholesome fear of the corrupt gang
which has SO long ruled at Harris
burg and which is now trying to
keep number of its pets and re-
tainers out of the penitentiary. To
lose his strength and his sagacity,
and his keen and ardent devotion
to the common good from the house
in order to make room for some one
who is looking for honors would be
little short of calamity,
Of course Mr.. Chrisman, the
gentleman who is said to be trying
to unhorse Mr.. Greasy, is clearly
within his right. He is a Demo
crat and he may with propriety as
pire to serve his party. But has
he right in pursuing his ambitions
to pull down or even to attempt to
pull down one who has stood SO
bravely under such great stress and
for so long for all that is best in
Democracy and for everything that
has been for the advancement of
good government Ordinarily it
makes little difference who comes
and who goes in the legislature.
The practice of rotation in Office
perhaps is an unimportant detail as
it affects the average case. But
when it strikes at such figure as
that which Farmer Greasy has
made in the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture it becomes pernicious; it is
more honored in the breach than in
the observance.
1t is to be hoped therefore that
in the interest of the Demo-
cratic party of the state as we'll as
in the interest of Pennsylvania,
whose faithful servant Mr.. Greasy
has been, Mr.. Chrisman will defer
his ambition to serve the people of
Columbia at Harrisburg. We do
not imagine that Mr.. Chrisman
would claim for himself that he is
better equipped than Mr.. Greasy
for the work which so needs to be
done. He can hardly ask the Dem
ocrats of the state to look upon him
as better Democrat or as one
more loyal to the best traditions oi
the great party of the plain people
Mr.. Greasy is known far beyond
the borders of this commonwealth

as a man of progressive ideas. He
is known as a Democrat of the

who brings to his task not only the
advantages of large experience,

WILL LOSE VOTES BY MOVING.

All of the candidates for office
who are defeated at the general
primary election, which will be
held Saturday, April II, will be
able to have a good excuse to re-
lieve the sting of defeat and basis
upon which to explain if conditions
would have been different, how
they would have been elected.
AS everyone knows, the big day
of early spring is the first of April,
moving day, when general change
of residences annually occurs. As
the primaries follow just 10 days
later every voter who changes his
residence will not be able to vote.
This may make tig change in the
votes for different Offices.
