In answer to the question whether

publicans in the next national cleo
lion, Senator Jonothan Bourne, Jr.,
said:
Yes. The Beverly letter Of Sept.

will and should defeat Mr.. Taft for
reelection. The Beverly letter con-
fess that President Taft attempted to
use Federal patronage to reward
members of Congress VINO voted as he
desired on legislation and to with
hold patronage from some members
of Congress who voted contrary to
his views and in accordance with
their own convictions.
Thus was established a precedent
of rewards and premiums for SUBJ
servience and mental dishonesty and
punishment for independent thought
and honest action. With such an ex-

STATE MANY THINGS
RAsCALIyY CAUGHT Up WITH BY
THE DEMOCRATS.
Some Of the Queer Things Found in
Pa State Prison at Dannenora, Pa,

The Democratic overhauling Of, the
Clinton state prison at Dannemora,
Pa, has resulted in a "clean up
with many remarkable and pictures
que features. Following the scandals
resulting from the discovery that a
combination of Republican polite
ians had been looting the state in
coal contracts for several years, an
Investigation Of the prison itself was
begun two months ago by Col Scott,
the new superintendent of Pennsyl-
cania prisons, and Ills assistants.
Col. Scott learned that the prison
had not been Systematically searched
for several years. So he undertook
the task of probing the big institu-
ton. An inventory taken by the. in
vestigators showed these interesting
articles:
One dope" pot for cooking
opium.
Thirty-four knives, dirks and stit-
letos, three dynamite cartridges.
Eighteen razors, two soldering
pans used for counterfeiting spurious
! half dollars.
Eleven "jimmies," crowbars, %
decks of cards.
One sweat" board such as are
used in gambling houses.
Two faro layouts, five saws, nine
files, three hammers, II pictures five
Of which had been painted by pris-
oners.
Two spades one checkerboard,
four sets Of loaded dice.
Eight blackjacks, "a cups and
saucers.
Eight blackjacks, "a cups and sar-
GERS.
Sveen revolvers, two face masks.
such as are used by burglars; 101
books.
Not one of these articles was per-
mitted in the cells under the rules
of tie prison.
Most of the forbidden articles had
been smuggled into the prison right
under the careless eyes Of the Re-
publican henchman, who were ap-
pointed to Office for political services
rather than for any special fitness
for the work called for by their posi-
tions.
Col. Scott made another interest
ing discovery in looking over the
prison It was that articles were not
only bieing smuggled into the pris-
on out out of it. There is in eonnee<-
ticn with the prison manufactur-
| ing department where clothing and
other articles Of wearing apparel,
towels, linen and blankets are turn
cd out. The investigators discovered
that owing to the carelessness of the
Republican officials thousands of dol
lars Of goods belonging to the state
had been smuggled out of prison and
traded off to the natives for cigar
ettes, whiskey, opium, morphine, CO.
caine and courterfeiting material.

In Virginia the growth in popu-
lation for the entire state during the
last decade was 11.2 per cent, but
that of the Southern Railway sta
tons was no less than 42.2 per cent;
in North Carolina the growth for
the entire state was 16.5 per cent,

COS per cent; in South Carolina 49,

# one looks at the traffic and train
statistics, a record of achievement is
found fully as striking as the growth
in traffic and income. For example,
We find that in 1911 the number Of
miles run by the freight trains was
almost precisely the same as in 1904,
seven years before-the comparison
being 16,99e,63S miles in 1911 and
16,955,900 miles in 1904. Yet, with
the mileage practically unchanged
Sill ,331,177 tons Of freight Gn-
Guiding company materially were car
ried in the latest year as against on
Iy 3,SI2,S64,9SS ton-miles in the
earlier year. In other words 1300.-
600 ton-miles more of freight were
moved in 1911 with no addition to
the miles run. This means that in
the seven years the average train
load has been raised from 224 tons
to 900 tons.
