why should not Doctor Mead ask
the Grand Army men to support him? ?
What's the objection? Why should
not the Grand Army men support Doc
tor Mead?"-St. Johnsbury Republl-
can.
Well, If you actually want to know
why, you would better ask the Grand
Army men themselves first. Then, If
you do not get the answer you expect
ed, you may get something like this.
That the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie is not a political organization.
That 1t is expected to take no part
In politics as an organization.
That the mere fact that a candidate
for a public Office is a member Of
some fraternal order imposes no obi
cation on the part Of the members
OF that order to support him in his
ambition.
That thousands upon thousands OF
men all through the land are members
of the Grand Army of the Republic
but are not eligible to be governor Of
their state and nobody knows Il bet.
ter than their fraternal comrades.
That II is un-American TO forward
political candidates. through the in
strumentality Of oathbound fraternal
societies. Adams Messenger.

THE CASE OF HEIKE

While it is seldom wise to forecast
a verdict the status of the trial of the
sugar trust employees and Secretary
Treasurer Charles r. Heike, who are
charged with conspiracy to defraud
the government through underweigh-
ing the product imported into the
country subject to duty, would seem
to indicate that the government Is
at last getting warm" on the trial OF
a man higher up" The letters of
Heike. which have been introduced as
evidence by the prosecution, show a
much closer connection between the
head Office of the trust and the crook
ed scales on the docks than has yet
been adduced.
A conviction in the case of Heike,
and from the present outlook it seems
hardly probable that he can escape,
would have a greater corrective in
nuence, which should be the princi-
pal object of all prosecution under the
law. than any verdict that has been
secured by the government along
similar lines. A verdict Of guilty in
the case OF Heike would go far toward
correcting the impression that the
American Sugar Refneries company
Is so powerful as to be beyond the
reach of the law Of the land Oliver
Splitter, the convicted superintendent
who was pardoned from the federal
penitentiary In order that he might
testify against Heike. has admitted
that he invented the spring with
which the scales were operated to
cheat the government and that he
committed perjury when on trial be
cause he thought nothing could hap
pen to the sugar trust"
The abuses in the operations Of
many large corporations during re-
cent years have lead many people to
take the same view The cases Of
Splitter and OF the three employees
who pleaded guilty yesterday will go
far toward correcting a false impress
sion that has had an extensively bane-
full influence. The conviction OF a
guilty official in the person of a man
as close to the trust as Heike would
go much farther Presenting that
Heike is guilty such a conviction will
be difficult to secure owing to the re-
sources available for the preclusion
OF evidence and there is little danger
Of verdict that will be unjust

Bingham, Feb. 27.-In a head-on col
lisiOn this afternoon on the trestle' lead
ing from the Mascot tunnel of the Ohio
mines at Lark, between an empty train
of passenger cars and empty ore cars
Motorman Thomas Huddleston, Of the
passenger train, was so severely injured
that his right leg had to be amputated
just below the knee, while his brake
man, George Ummock, sustained severe
bruises about his head, and may be suf-
fering from internal injuries
The cause of the collision is a mys-
terry to the prOprietOrs Of the Ohio prop
critics. As near as they could learn,
last night the trains We're running on
regular time and should have passed
each other below the mouth of the tun-
mel and just beyond the trestle. The
passenger train had reached the tunnel
and was about to proceed into il when
the empty freight train dashed out and
colllded with the motor of the passen-
ger cars, just as they had reached the
middle of the trestle. MOtOrman Hud-
dleston and Brakeman Ummock were
both hurled in the air, and dropped at
the foot of the trestle, a distance Of
twelve feet.
Doctors F. z. Straup and J. H. Ray
attended the wounded man, performing
the amputatiOn of Huddleston's leg. The
passenger ana freight cars We're heaped
i'm mass of debris at the foot of the
tTestle.
