Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1911-06-30

Col. John Fl. Carroll, the Burlington
Railroad lawyer, was in Washington
last winter, and, needing the services
of man to travel with him in his
private car, hired a good-looking and
well recommended young fellow from
Virginia whom he happened to meet.
The mans name was Gilbert, and
he never had been on railroad train
except to come up from his Virginia
home to Washington. He Travelled
with the colonel back and forth be-
tween Washington and New YORK,
New York and Chicsgo, and Chicago
and ST. Louis, and rode a good deal on
the observation end of the car. All
the roads the car went over were two
track or four-track roads.
Not long ago the colonel had his car
rswitched off on side-track road in
Ohio during the night. When Col. Car
roll awoke in the morning and went
out to the observation end of the car
he found Gilbert contemplating the
single track with much interest.
"Colonel,v he said, "thls here rail-
road seems to run only one way, How
are we gelnl to git back?"

little silence, "one thing that must
do at once, and that is to destroy

Court Out Of Favor.
STEPPED IN CRIME.
Arch Villain Of Age Tells Of His
Thousands of "Misdeeds."

One Of the strangest and at the same
time most interesting special articles our
Sunday Magazine has ever published Is
"Our Biggest Villain" written by the big
gest VILLAIN of all, NJ. J. Jordan, whom
some of our readers may know. Listen
to his opening:
What would you say Of a man who
owned with pride to- criminal record in
GLIDING some 80 cases of arson, ESQ
murders, 1.O25 cases of KIDNAPPING. 1900
thefts, ECO successful attempts to blow up
buildings with dynamite, a few thousand
cases of bigamy and the sinking OF two
or three hundred ships. to say nothing of
five or six thousand lesser crimes, such
as Strangling children. breaking up happy
homes, wrecking banks, driving women
into the streets and betraying friends
whose meals he had eaten and in whose
homes he had been a welcomed visitor?"
And yet" says Mr.. Jordan. ''villainy
as / have practiced it is really delight
time. replete in humanness and full Of
the things that make life worth living. ;"
What sort of monster must a man be to
express such sentiments? But, still, any
body who could commit such horrid Sc
ries of crimes, and boast OF them. would
be apt to express just such sentiments.
Of course, the explanation must be and
is that it Is all a fake. for no man could
be such a creature. The explanation Is
simple one-Mr. Jordan is not a real vii
lain, but stage villain-really. one of
the kindest and most helpful of men,
All the same. this Villains tale Is a
wonderful one. We don't believe such a
story was ever told before It really Is a
thriller, particularly when .he author tells
of experiences he has had when members
of his audience have taken him In very
truth for what he pretended to be. and
have attempted to Illustrate some of his
nefarious plans. It will appear in our
next Sunday Magazine.

Schools of journalism.

From the Springfield Union.
One Of the regrettaible things about
Joseph Pulitzer's death is that he did
not live to witness a test of his plan
for great school Of journalism, the
actual Initiation Of which will take
place. 1t is said. at the Univer-
sity Of Columbia in the near future.
The school will start with a fund Of
81 100000 and will receive another mil
lion at the end of three years, II II ap-
pears that the school is doing satisfac-
tory work. It has been almost twenty
years since the plan. Of a school OF
journalism was first proposed to tho
head Of Columbia by Mr.. Pulitzer. and
eight years have elapsed since the Of

accepted and the main features Of tho
project mapped out. including the Sc

reason, it is explained why the school
was not put in operation long ago il
the inability to find a satisfactory per-
son to become the head Of It.
Meanwhile the idea Of a college prep
aration for newspaper work has taken
root in several institutions, and courses
in journalism have been established.
The plan is being tried by some Of tho
