Silver CITY,

Silver City is one of the prosperous
mining camps In the Rocky Noun
tains, One reason for this condition
is that the best people on earth live

They turned and rent him. His friends
and admirers grew cold and turned
away from him. His name was blot
ted from the pages of history. And
the most frightful stories were told
about him. But by peculiar circum-
stance his life was saved. 1t seemed
that there was custom In the prison
In which he was incarcerated to mark
by cross the doors Of the cells OF
those who were to be led out to exc
cution, and at the time set for his
death his door being open, he was
passed by, and eventually was re-
stored to liberty.
Regaining his liberty, and learning
the manner in which his Age of Rea-
son" was being received, he wrote a
second part, treating the matter at
length and copiousy quoting from
Scripture. While the latter half IL
more solid than the former, it lie
coarser and lacks much OF the grace
and dignity Of the FIRST part OF the
work. There is In 1t little of the
grandeur and sublimity which was a
part of the first work. And the sec
ond work drove from him what few
friends he had left.
In brief, this 10 . plain, simple story
Of Tom Paine and his writings. He
has been and IL the victim of preju-
dice, And he has been cruelty wrong
ed. He lived more than q century be-
fore his times. Modernism In the
Catholic church has left him in the
rear beyond hailing distance. Were
he living today he would rank among
the orthodox. But Tom Paine was
fastened to our mind the other day
by seeing his name mentioned In .
school history, and later in q popu-
lar edition of the lives of eminent
Americans. Tom Paine 10 coming into
his own And the time 10 ct hand
when his name and deeds shall adorn
those pages Of history to which the
eminent qualities of his mind and
heart entities him.
Tom Paine was a reverent believer
in God, who too dearly loved liberty
and truth: preacher by profession,
. patriot by inclination, and q lover
of freedom and humanity by dispo-
sltion. His motto was, We pass
through this world but once: let us
do all the good We can by the way.

INVESTIGATOR ARRESTED.
Aid Of New York's Attorney Gen
eral in Custody.

NEW YORK March 5-Nathan
A. Vidaver, who was appointed a
special deputy attorney general to
prosecute the Kissena Park investigation
before the Queens county grand jury and
and who is now getting a special retainer
from Attorney General Jackson in Mr..
Jackson's action to dissolve the charter
of the New York City Railway Company
was arrested yesterday on a charge of at
tempting to extort $500 from William R.
Montgomery, who was president of the
Hamilton Bank and who is under indfct-
ment for making overdrafts on the bank.
Vidaver is an active dearstite, having
been put forward as a candidate for the
supreme court in the Murphy Hearst
fusion in 1905 and being nominated last
year for the court of general sessions
on the Independence League Republican
ticket. He says that he accepted the
money from Montgomery as retainer
and that it had nothing to do with his con-
nection with the attorney-generars Office.
Attorney General Jackson says he is conf
dent that Mr.. Vidaver would do no wrong.
Mr.. Vidaver was arrested at l o'clock
yesterday afternoon in the Aston House
after he had luncheon with MONTGOMERY
who passed $500 In marked bills to him.
The plant was made with the knoWl-
edge of the district attorneys Office and
one Of District Attorney Jerome's detec-
tives arrested Vidaver.. He was arraigned
before Magistrate Herman in the Center
street police court and after he had made
hot speech denouncing his arrest and
the district attorney he was held in 5000
bail for hearing this morning. Lawyer
Moses H. Grossman of House. Grossman
& Vorhaus put up the necessary cash
for Vidaver's release and Vidaver left
the court after he had kicked his heels
there for about two hours.
