SENATE BILL 10! 1H.

The aegslatSre of 1908 passk Id a law
making,,it q felony to steal brass trim
mings and fixtures from a locomotive
journal, or waste from the journal
boxes.
The law was passed to prevent junk
dealers from hiring boys to steal these
fixings, the loss of which might en-
danger the lives of the travelling pub
lie. .-st ...
. Senator, Kittredge was in Washing
ton at the time, and knew nothing
whatever about. the passage Of the
bifi."sHe is Eccused. however, of havs
ing s'caused,it to lbe passed., aga one
of Mr.. Crawfordis yellow journal
editors talks lovingly of the poor
wretches who are thus heavily penal
lied for stealing things Of little value
in themselves but of great value as
a necessary ,part.ef the proper opera

The senate passed this bill by a
unanimous vote. Senator Dillon. who
voted for the bill, was the man who
put Gamble i'm nomination in the Sioux
Falls convention, 'and who moved the
adoption.of the Crawford resolutions
at Huron. 7. w. Lane, Of Gam VAL
ley, writing to the Argus-Leader, says
that the first man spoke, to after
the senate adjourned the day the bill
passed the senate was C0E L. CPAW-
FORD, who said to me that he was

was a good measures Any peanut

reutkmbered that ..fhe reform legisla-

That he would, have Vetoed any

1T sometimes happens in the heat of.
a political caMpaign that, there ssis
slight difference as TO facts and fig.

perhaps. it should not be wondered
at that. there is a difference of some
thing like 5000 per cent between the
radical and conservative estimate of
the endorsement of Governor Craw-
ford by the Scandinavian Republicssn
League of this state. :
According to the claims OF the
Crawford men, $4,000 Scandinavian
voters of the state of South Dakota
were REPRESENTED in person or by.
proxy. in the, recent meeting in Sioux
Falls, which ensiorsed Governor Craw-
ford, -while the Contrary claim ais that
there were Just five. including. r. o..

1t is likely that the four Sioux

in the operating room of Dr. Kiave-
ness' Office gave. their tacit approval
to the resolutions. Nov. all that is me-
cessary rs to get the approval Of TIE

Later an effort was made by Mr..
Crawford to have Chief McEniry re-
moved, and instead of that sMr. Craw-
ford got back a curt letter saying that
the chief was one of the best men in
the service, and almost iruplediately
thereafter, McEniry was PROMOTED.
The people of South Dakota owe lit
to themselves to learn all of the facts
about this case. They can get those
facts out of the Confessional Record
of March Is, 1907. and every voter
should get copy of that record and

PHoENIX, ARIZONA, MAY 1S, 1908,
THE GOOD WORK OF THE BUSH
 NESS MEN. s,.s


 The business men of Phoenix are very much elated as they have good reason to be over the conference with the representatives, of the ' trsfffc- de- partments of the through lines whose concessions will save to the merchants and consumers of the valley hundreds of thousands of dollars in the course of the year. Beside the sweeping reductions (which have been made on rates of farm pro- duce to other parts of the territory as well as to Colorado and eastern points concessions were promised on com- modity rates from the east which place the merchants of Phoenix on level ground with the merchants of other towns of the territory.
 This is a great accomplishment whose beneficial results will be felt by all and perhaps not the least of the beneficial results so far attained is the establishment of a better understand ing with the railroad men out of which will almost certainly come still better terms to Salt river valley buyers and shippers.
 All that has been done has been ac- complished without friction The sue cess attained is s-IargeN due to the. con- servative, though earnest spirit of the business men who have had charge of. the negotiations The concessions which have been granted: courirEnE. time when all other things seem to be coming PhoeniXward should clarify the prospect of the. h6st pessirnL5tic= resi- dent of the valley II there are any pes simists left here.

WHERE PROSECUTORS FAIL.

It is one thing to make sensational charges and another to prove them. Even the procuring of indictments is easy but there is the hurdle of convic- tion to be passed, of which Frank Heney, the most. spectacular of prose- cutors is aware.--9f. the hundreds of indictments resulting from the graft bribery investigation, mot one has one has even sent him in that direction and keep him going. The dismissal of the indictments -hss, been almost as wholesale as their finding. There has been a ruthless ewinnowing out of those supposed to be the less guilty or the less important in the hope that they might be made instruments against the more guilty or the more important. Yet nothing has come of it and there is little promise of results from the most gigantic efforts of the prosecu- tion in what was undoubtedly most fertile field for prosecution. -r
 The failure of the prosecution, for there appears little doubt that it is doomed to failure, may be attributed in part to a sentiment. of resentment. which is growing up-a eaiiasf -she~pro- fessional prosecutor, reaction from the sentiment-sF4feh 'set in a'fsa years ago against every man accused of graft.
 The methods of the prosecutors are largely to blame for. the reaction which is leading back to and still farther back and beyond the old maxim that it is better that ten guilty men should escape@than that one innocent man should be punished The prose cutors were at fault in assuming that none were innocent but that all ac- cused persons were to be used as step ping stones to their own heights of fame as prosecutors.
 The effect of the reaction will in evitably be that many guilty will es- cape with all the innocent

SICK SENATOR MAY PRESERVE
 TIE

Albany, May 12.-With the election of an. additional senator pledged to vote for hem the fate of the anita gambling bills appears on the surafce at least to hang almost entirely upon the condition of Senator Foeiker, of Brooklyn. who is ill after an operation for appendicitis. Without Foelker's vote and in the absence of any other change the new senator's vote will only preserve the tie of 25 to 25 and the bill will still fail of passage.
 Politicians generally express sur prise at the result, and almost without exception concede that it is a marked personal victory for Goveronr Hughes.
