Friends of Johnson and Knox Looking Washington Special to Brooklyn
 A suspicion is getting pretty we'll grounded in the minds of Washing ton politicians that at least two Pres: idential booms are being maintained with more regard to 1912 than 1908. They are the Johnson hDblIesn RsmoGhpa5lo hs6m boom
 Especially Is the Johnson boom be- lieyed 10 be directed toward the con- vention of 1912 rather than toward the Denver gathering. The Minnesota GOV. ernor Is only 47 years of age; He will ocrafs next hegin to talk about pick ing their national standard bearer :. Johnson has been in politics only about four years, so the period that must elapse between now and 1912 can be very progtably spent by nlm Tn stuoy of big national questions.
 "The managers of Governor Johnson are playing a shrewd political game in pushing their man for the nomina- ton" said a well known Democratic Senator today. They must have real ized when they started In to boom stood little or no chance of beating Bryan. The latter was practically cer- tain to win.

 The Knox boom Is coming to De re. garded in much the same lighL Ine Pennsylvanian is sticking to the Re- publican race with more pertinacity than any of the other favorite sons. At the same time he realizes az tuiiy as anyone that he does not stand a ghost of show of landing tne prae, up the sponge. and get aboard the Taft band wagon?
 Knox has hopes for. 1912, He Is now just 55 years old. and will be. short or 50 when the next Presidential cam Pasn Is opened There is ,bs no time nantTs liFs know inc Knox record. That Is the reason that the Knox ,s boom nannsrv nsr ssss sss been flooded with literature telling what Knox has done for organized la Dor. how he aided In formulating the Roosevelt policies. how he fought the trusts, how he put the Northern secur- ities case through the Supreme Court. and how. President Roosevelt has twice announced semi-publicly that he would be satisfied with the nomination ana election of Knox as President.
 The Pennsylvania managers figure that with the defeat of Taft by Bryan this year there would be fine oppor- tunity for Knox four years hence. Even if Taft is elected In November they argue, there Is no certainty that he would be renominated In 1912. At any rate. they believe that the present can. an. didaey of Mir. Knox offers a splendid opportunity to do some advertising, and they are making the most of 1t.

Just turn of the head as she clam bered over the hog, and the Merry widow caught him under the chin with it's saw-edge and gave him a savage swipe.

Republicans in Congress are in a hole on the tariff matter. If they ad- vocate genuine revision and reforma- ton they fear 1t will weaken their chances and drive from them the sup port of those favored interests whose adh erence-and money-is necessary to success. If they refuse to consider re- vision at all 1t may lose them support from the people who are the greatest sufferers under the present iniquitous system, so it seems that there is danger ahead for the party in either case.

Railroad Capital and Real Value.

Railroad Capital and Real Values
 Tn yirfuaily aII of the platforms of the Socialist Party conventions and in speeches at many Democratic conven- tions reference Is regularly made to the ''watered capital of American raii- stock and has a plausible sound' put what basis has 1t in truth?
 One of the highest British authori. ties recently said that the Pennsyl. vanta Railroad could not be replaced for less than double its entire capital ization. Measured by all European standards of capitalizing railroads the lines of the United States are models
 If the amounts of stocks and bonds placed upon each mile of American road were as great as the existing amount in England, the capitalization here It would have to be doubled to equal that of France and increased 50 per cent to match that of Germany.
 The total capitalization of American railroads is under $l40oo' 'oOO,O00. Tneir market value exceeds that amount while their value based upon earnings of 1907 and computed by the usual method or economists would reach about eighteen billions to railroad properties are paid for by the issue of capital. In the United States very large part of such ini- proven ents are paid TOT out or pronts earned but kept from the stockholders.
 The Pennsylvania furnishes an ex- ample of this policy. In ten years It has taken upwards of $1S0,00O,o00 out of earnings, improved the road and thus converted that sum into property for which there Is no capitol charge.
 American railroads are not water logged with bogus capital. Thirty years ago the Western lines may have issued stock as a bonus to those who furnished money to build them, but they have long since grown up to their capitalization and passed it

EXPECT ARREST OF ASSASSIN.
Detective Trails Suspect in Henry
Murder Case.

pctectiyc icdlIS suspect III LiciifS
Murder Case. y
Two months have passed since Hen
ny was plunged into Intense excite
ment and indignation because of the
murder of F.. M. Brown, a highly re-
spected citizen. As several days had
passed before the murdered man was
found it was believed that all rae
of the murder and robbery had been
lost. The coroner's inquest brought
out but few, if any facts or circum-
stances which might lead to the arrest
of any suspected parties. But after
the unera was held II attended by
many of the leading citizens of the
community the Investigation began to
take place. The result was that Will
lam Baxter, superintendent of the
Baxter detert.Fc agency, of Minncapo-
lis, has r.aa ca the ground for the
past few weeks making a personal in
vestigation.
TIC the average mind the murder
was one of the darkest and most das-
tardly eve committed in South Da-
kcta, and there was apparently no
hope Of running down h guilty par
ty, who murdered for boarded treas

no withholds from it is
known that he has very important
evidence and is weaving a network of
circumstances around the suspected
party.
1t is in a roundabout way, it is
known, that Detective Baxter has dis
covered and photographed running
footprints leading from the ABR of
the murdered man and has also pho
tographed footprints of the suspected
party which correspond; there is pos
tive proof that Brown was first shot
and then strangled; there is evidence
proving where the suspected party
purchased a 32-caliber gun and am
munition; there is evidence placing
the crime absolutely within a certain
hour; there is evidence showing h a
certain time at a certain place, and
failed to keep the appointment; the
detective now has money in his pos
session which was known to have
been in the hands of Brown: he also
has evidence which shows that Brown
marked his money, and how; he also
has some of the marke money which
has been passed by the suspected
party.
The above. there is reason to be-
lieve, is only a little OF the network
of testimony which is shaping itself
around the supposed guilty man and
will make it impossible for him to es-
cape.

Special Rates to Merchants Meetings
Withdrawn.
The spring and fall merchants
meetings. which have for some years
past been the means of bringing thou
sands OF business men from smaller
cities to Chicago and st. Louis, will
be omitted this year. The executive
committee Of the Western Passenger
association has refused to grant the
desired fare and a half rate in spite
OF the pleas of representatives of the
Chicago commercial and the st. Louis
merchants associations.
The reason given for the refusal Is
that the 2-cent fare laws of Illinois.
Missouri and other western states have
SO reduced passenger earnings that 1t
Is no longer feasible to grant special
rates. Last spring, when the railroads
regularly charged 3 cents per mile, a
rate OF fare and one-ffth was garnted,
and 9.454 retailers from Chicago's
trade territory came to that city. Last
autumn no reductions In fare were
granted and only 500 retailers came
into the meeting.
The falling off at st. Louis was less,
as the Southwestern Passenger asso-
citation has continued to grant the re-
duced rates.

Night riders, 100 strong, swooped
down on Russellville. Logan county,
KY, early Friday morning and, after
overpowering three policemen, dyna-

other establishments and then rode
away. Three men were wounded.
The telephone girls and police were
held prisoners for nearly three hours.
The property loss is about $4,000.
Chief Of Police Bruce, as soon as
he heard the noise, fastened to the
fire tower, where he attempted to
sound an alarm, but was overpowered
by -four masked night riders.
Two merchants, J.. r. Mclean and
J Henry Moseley, did not hurry in
to their homes as fast as the night
riders desired and were shot. The
most seriously injured was DIR. G. M.

at Forest house, who was wounded
about the head and face by a charge
Of buckshot.

Except for the shots at those who APP

shooting, the chief business of the mob
seeming to be the destruction Of the
tobacco houses.
