GREED ovERREAoHEs ITSELF.

What one would suppose to be the
duty of a law-maker at Washington
would be to construct a statute that
would be fairly acceptable to the
whole people. But instead each Sena-
,tor and Representative seems to be
pulling for special interests and trying
to take care Of his State and district.
The theory appears to be that If man
doesn't try to secure favorable legis-
lation to his district that he will be
distrusted and relegated to private
life. 1t seems to be narrow view of
the case and We doubt its correctness.
What most people want their repre-
eentatives to be and to do Is to be big
enough for the places they occupy and
to do properly the work assigned them
and when they do that majority of
the people will be satisfied. The
people want their representatives to
be statesmen not horse-traders. There
are plenty Of the latter here at home.
Again our people want their represen-
tatives to keep up with the procession
and not spout ancient and antiquated
doctrines which long since became OBJ
solete. The great question is largely
how to deal with giant monopoiles and
not with infant industries. The dis
position OF Congresmen to dicker and
trade and serve the interests OF mono
poles, neglectlng the rights and
needs OF the masses, has a tendency
to discredit the whole scheme of pro-
Election in the common mind and make
free traders OF people. The Ohio
State Journal makes the following in
teresting and significant comment on
this tendency:
THE tariff discussion has multiplied
the number OF free traders In the
lcountry. Tens of thousands of men
II
who were brought up protectionists
land who have always argued and voted
for high perfection as a matter of
course, are angry and disgusted. Such
greed has been displayed by the lobby
OF the interests in Washington, such
faithlessness to party pledges has
been shown by the representatives of
the interests in Congress, that a free
trade propaganda launched now would
gain many unexpected adherents. II
Is not so much that there has been a
widespread change of view on great
Peconomic question as that the gross
abuses OF the protective system have
been brought home to the popular
mind by the exhibition OF grasping
selfishness which has been holding
the boards at the national capital in
the three months now closing. Partly
in spirit OF revenge and partly from
sheer despair OF ever securing a rea-
sonably square deal while things go
on as they are. consumers everywhere
are heard to condemn the very prlnci-
Iple OF protection. Thus does shame
less greed overreach itself"

HEROINE OF THE DISASTER.

The heroine OF the late terrible
railway disaster, on the Wabash train
running east from Kansas City, Satur-
day night, was Mrs. DR.. Lohbeck of st.
Louis. She escaped injury and imme-
diaately gave attention to those who
had been caught IN the wreck. The
women passengers aided her in pre-
pairing bandages and she pound up the
wounds of 81 persons in less than
thirty minutes. The daughter Of
Henry e. Ecker, the express messen-
ger who was killed, is travelling in
Europe and it was decided by the
family not to inform her until her re-
turn.
The following description OF DR..
Lohbecks experience and obserya-
tion shows how appalling those cata-
strophes are:
The night was pitch dark, and we
were in total darkness for a long
time. The confusion was great.
THE Missouri River was on one side
and marshy and inundated ground on
the other. This made 1t almost i'm
llpossible TO rescue the imprisoned pas
sengers One OF the most surprising
things to me was how eight men in
the mail car escaped. The car was
split lengthwisc. and submerged in
tho water. After time some one
lighted a lot OF weeds. which were
growing near by, and the burning of
these madc for time lurid glare, by
the light Of which the rescuers car
ried tho injured into two cars which
remained out OF the water
Before the three doctors and other
attendants arrived / spent my time
tearing up sheets, petticoats. shirts
and everything that would serve for
bandages. We gave whiskey and other
remedies we happened to have and
and used all the blankets to keep the
persons who had become wet from
wing chilla
"One woman In the front coach had
her scalp literally torn from her head
while man with a wooden leg had
the leg driven almost through his
body. Some OF the sights were sicken
ling and the walls OF those imprisoned
were heartrending. One man was
frantic because his baby which he was
carrying at the time OF the wreck,
was thrown out of his arms and could
not be found. Men cried like babies,
while the women seemed the more
tranquil. l hope God will spare me
from any such experience again.
Fire did not break out, which help
ed matters greatly. After hours of
patient waiting, the two remaining
cars were attached to an engine al =
taken back to Kansas City.
Mrs. LOhbeck said one woman had
the crown of an immense hat which
she had just bought shaved on, while
another's purse was neatly sliced in
two.

HANGSIEN STILL NECESSARY.

The only hanging IN Louisiana that
ever had dress rehearsal occurred
at Hahnville, in st. Charles parish,
when Leonardo Gebbia was hanged
for the part that he played in the
kidnapping mad murder OF the eight
year-old son of Peter Lamana
On Sunday July Sheriff o. NJ.
Johnson took Gebbia from his cell to
the scaffold in the jail yard, fitted
the moose around the victims neck,
put on the black cap and placed the
man over the trap just to show how
the hanging would be conducted and
to convince the murderer that it
would not hurt much. 1t was a strange
way OF celebrating the 4th of July
and must have made Gebbia, who was
an Italian desperate. indulge In some
queer reflections on American ideas
OF patriotism and humanity, not al
together free from touch OF grim
humor. Another account says Sheriff
Johnson had given three "rehearsals,"
sacks filled with sand taking the
place of Gebbia. The two accounts are
not Inconsistent. The sheriff may
have used the sacks twice and the
third time favored Mr.. Gebbia with an
invitation to take part in the pre-
iiminary ceremony.
But, surprising as II may be, Gebbia
was neither fortified nor reconciled to
his fate by his rehearsal. He had to
be literally carried to the trap door.
II would appear that when a man has
to be hanged he will take to it with
better grace If he has never had any
practice. However, Gebbia dropped ten
feet and seems to have had an easy
death. Peter Lamana, the father of
the murdered child, who tried so hard
20 induce the governor of Louisiana
to allow him to hang the murderer.
begged TO be permitted to see the ex-
ecution. but was refused admission to
the court yard.
Gebbia made a confession and left

and another to his sister, Nicolina,
who is serving life time sentence for

made a great sensation
in New Orleans End throughout the
South generally. Gebbia was convicted
with his sister and three others for
the kidnapping and murder OF the La
mana boy. The sister would have
been sentenced to death 1t is said, II
the sentiment against hanging a wo-
man had not proved too strong. She
and the others convicted were senten-
ced TO prison for life. Two other per.
sons implicated in the crime escaped.
Now that the law has been vindlcat-
ed so far as Leonardo Gebbia Is con-
cerned. interest centers In what
Sheriff Johnson had TO say after the
execution. II am an artist In my line.
said the sheriff. "and believe in doing

men and women. and never yet have

as necessary In teh present state of So
ciety as United States supreme court

OF course. Sheriff Johnson only
means that those who are In no dan

gard him with aversion. Men who are

brought up from Yuma on Sunday morning to assist in the building of the prison.
 The concrete work for the prison is now in the hands of Greville & Stew enson. The heavy work is all done, and they expect to finish the walls in about fifty days. The commissary building and the radial buildings are all coming along very rapidly. There are five more carpenters at work to prepare the wooden structures for the concrete. The steel for the cells is at the Florence depot. All materials for prison use are being hauled across the Gila as rapidly as possible, but owing to a great amount of quicksand, the hauling is more tedious as smaller loads have to be taken.

make careful examination, l think he
 will find that the amount of land from the initial monument near the junction
 of the Gila river east to a line running
 north and south through Tempe will amount to about 22.000 acres. To in-
 crease the amount of land to 35,0O0 acres. 1t would be necessary to take in the town of Tempe and practically all
 the land under the Tempe canal, the San Francisco ditch, and all other canals south of Phoenix
 If the object of the board of trade of Phoenix is to annex Tempe to Phoe- nix, we would rather have them build bridge at Tempe and annex us di- rectly than in a roundabout way If line were drawn north and south two miles west of Tempe, there would be south of Phoenix about 17,000 acres and out of this 17.00O. 6600 acres belongs to the Bartlett Heard Cattle company. a corporation, and there per haps is in cultivation of this 6600 acres more than half the land out of the 17.000 On the 17,000 acres of land there are perhaps not over forty or fifty families living and I see by a statement made in The Republican that the merchants of Phoenix have subscribed s5000 so that they may get the immense trade of these families
 Tn Tempe and community we have something like 2000 people and we are real, live people, and we do business with the merchants of Phoenix,-but we are so few we are not considered Instead of using the word merchant I think it would have been better for them to have used the word citizens of Phoenix, for I am sure that not all of the merchants Of Phoenix are more eager to do business with the families across the river than they are with the citizens of Tempe.
 It seems to me that there is more reason to build bridge. since we have to pay for it. immediately for people who can use it and have a need for it than to build a bridge on the supposi- ton that the Bartlett Heard Cattle company and other land owners are going to sub-divide their land at some future time. Yet is is of more value to Mir. Heard and his company to have the bridge built before their land is sub-divided, as it will enhance the value of their land from s10 to $50 per acre. At s10 per acre. 5000 acres of land would be increased in value about s60,000: at s2e. s120,000; at $50. s30O,00e and yet MT. Heard says he is not personally ! interested-so I suppose he has gone into the 'philanthropist' business and intends to devote all his excess energy | for the good of the people.
 Another statement was published | some days ago in The Republican, l quoting the talk made by Chaplain | Scott at the board of trade meeting | The reason I call the attention of the 1 public to this statement is that I do l not think it is fair to Chaplain Scott to 1 be misquoted or to the voters of Mar | icopa county It places him in the l wrong light before the people. The l quotation follows: Though I live in ]

a part of the country that would naturally benefit more by a bridge at Tempe. I am in favor of this bridge at the foot of Center street. This quotation was made to convey the i'm pression that he was not in favor of a bridge at Tempe. As I remember it, and l attended the meeting. this is what Chaplain Scott did say: Though I live in a part of the country which would naturally benefit more by a bridge at Tempe and it has cost me more to pay for clothes that 1 have worn trying to wade out of the river at Tempe than my taxes would be for both bridges, I am in favor of both bridges. one at Tempe and one at Cen ter street. and I shall vote for both bridges I hope The Republican re- porter and all other papers in Phoenix will treat the people of Tempe fairly and quote rightly what is said in re- gard to the bridge matter for I am of the opinion that the papers of Phoenix have almost as many subscribers in Tempe as they have among the fam lilies across the river south of Phoe- nix"

REACTS BASEBALL

 formation About the National Game

Reach's Official American League Guide for 1909, published by the A. J. Reach company. of Philadelphia and edited by Francis c. Richter, of Sporting Life" is out, and is the first in the field, thus making it the hamburger of the base ball season.
 It can be said without any quail fication that, excellent as all of the editions of the Reach Guide have been in recent years, the 1909 Reach Guide is the best hand book of the kind ever issued by this publisher. The special distinction of the 1909 guide is, next to the text, quality of paper used and the number and beauty of the engravings furnished, the worlds championship series being specially well lowered with splendid action pictures The American Lea gue Guide for 1909 is in all respects first class hand book of the Ma tional game and a decided credit to the American league and to the pub fishers. the Reach company. This is the eighth annual issue of the Reach Guide as the official hand book of the American league, and the twenty seventh consecutive year of its pub lication as book of record and reference for the entire base ball world.

OF STATEMENTS
James c. Goodwin of Tempe Calls Attention to Alleged Inaccuracies of Those Who Are Advocating . Bridge On South Center Street.

'T sec" said James c. Goodwin. that Dwight B. Heard took exception to statement made in The Republi can, published in the Tempe depart ment, concerning the road rom the end of the Heard bridge to Mesa City. He stated that the road is a splendid road and one of the best in the coun- try; that he intends in a few days to take committee over the road As far as the road is concerned. 1t is perhaps as good as any dirt road or as good as the old dirt road between Tempe and Phoenix before 1t was graveled but any one living in this community today who ever travelled over the old Tempe road years ago knows the time in the summer when the dust would be so thick you could not see your horse in front of you, and to remedy this condition was the reason thousands of dollars were spent on the road to gravel it and put it in better condition.
 There were some statements made through The Republican and one statement made at the board of trade meeting the other day that I think are hardly correct. It was stated by Mir Fowler and, I think, also by Mir. Heard. that by building the bridge across the river near Phoenix, there would be annexed to Phoenix about 35,o00 acres of land. If MT.
