And Stephens o. tho Hunt for Some
One to Testify against
tNhlttier.

Aaron Bjork Of the Red Wing police
department was approached by,A. D.
Stephens last Thursday and offered
better position with BIGGER pay if
he would testify against Superinten-
dent Whittier.
Andy Stephens, Governor Eber-
harris right hand man in the prose-
cution Of Supt. Whittier, on his re-
cent visit to Red Wing attempted to
bride Policeman Aaron Bjork to tes-
tify in the Whittier investigation by
promising him better position than
he now has ON the police force, if he
would do so.
With contempt for such methods,
Mr.. Bjork gave the discarded Crook
ston senator to understand at once
and for all time that he was not that
kind of a man-not for sale for posi-.
ton or money-and left Eberhart's
iemissary almost stunned as the off,
Ger fastened to take up his duties on
his beat. !.
II never did anything crooked in all
my life and l am not going to do it
now," said Bjork sharply.
Stephens deliberately set out to
find Officer Bjork at the police sta
ton Thursday evening Of last week
at 6 o'clock. Approaching Mr.. Bjork
the willy Polk county manipulation in
troduced himself to him and asked if
he was satisfied with his job.
Mr.. Bjork said he liked his job
very much and had no fault to find.
Wouldn't you like a better job
that would pay more money than you
are getting now" asked Stephens.
"Well, I don't know" answered
Mr.. Bjork, not knowing what the
|questioner was driving at.
| "WeH, if you will testify in the
Whittier investigation to things that
YOU may know at the training school
you can get such a job with better
Ipay than you are getting" continued
stephens. ....
"Who told you that I knew any
thing against Mr.. Whittierf"' asked
MIR. Bjork. ...
Stephens declined to give the in
formation. .. 4
! "You take me for the wrong man, "
said Mr.. Bjork in conclusion and left
Governor Eberhart's "handmaid''
wondering why he had ever made
such a monumental blunder and APP
preached an honest man. ..=.
Stephens had evidently learned
that Mr.. Bjork lived near the train
} ing school and thought he could be
bribed into giving evidence against
Whittier on being offered a position.
To get the full meaning of this at
tempt on Stephens part, it should be
understood that anybody wanted
as a witness in the investigation
> against Supt. Whittier can be sub
poenaed and placed on the stand to
i testify. If Mr.. Bjork had any. evi-
= dence that the prosecutors of Mr.
Whittier deemed pertinent, all they
had to do was to call him and have
him tell the truth about anything hi
might know. Evidently it was not
l the truth Mr.. Stephens was after be.
, cause that he can get without offer
ing "better jobs and bigger pay"
This incident not only shows the
desperate straits Of the Stephens.
, Eberhart- Women's Federation com.
bination, and the vile methods the,
l are ready to use to accomplish thei1
. end, but it also raises one or two
questions which should be answered
, for the information Of the public.

mittee. AS Mr.. Hull is one of the
most virile of the progressive demo-
Gratis of the younger class, his views
are not without especial significance.
while through the district 1 repre-
sent" added Mr.. Hull, flows the Cum
berland river. which is one OF tne
great feeders of the Ohio river sys-
them and l am never without the
conviction that the CuniberlaLd's $

l can see no hope of a proper recog-
milton of the rivers Importance eX-
cept through its being embraced in
the system proposed and urged by the
National Rivers and Harbors con-
gress. Like many another of our
long inland streams capable of be-
ing converted into great highways of
transportation, the Cumberland
should be treated as intimately re-
lated with a national interstate sys-
tenn of waterways. I would not un-
dertake to urge any measure of i'm
provement for the river that was not
in answer not only to the demands of
commerce, intelligently and convinc-
ingly set forth, but that did not have
the entire approval OF the army engi-
neer officers in charge of the district

REPRESENTATIVES, HULL
ON TRANSPORTATION

Washington, d. C.-(Special-"The
doctrine, in the concrete, of the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress,
as | understand it--for a policy and
not for a project, meaning a broad
and comprehensive system of water
way Improvement embracing the en-
tire country as against a system Of
trading for recognition of local pro-
jects, which for many years prevail
ed in congress-is of sufficient i'm
portance to deserve a conspicuous
place in the national platforms of our
political parties. There is no greater,
more vital problem IN our affairs of
interstate commerce than the cheap
ening of the means of transportation,
and, to my mind, there is no surer.
safer step that could betaken to that
end than by the provision of those
means by congress in adequate annual
appropriations for continuous i'm
provements of all our streams sus-
| ceptible of navigation, along with
proper care for terminal facilities of
navigation in our seaports by the Sc
| curing and maintenance of the right
| depth for ocean going vessels"
This was the observation today of
| Representative Cordell Hull, Of the
| fourth Tennessee district, here serv-
| ing as one of the democratic men,

$50 long, as in the old way which
trading favors of appropriations for
local projects obtained, it was the
most natural thing in the range Of
schemes for some of them to lose
through neglect or miscarriage Of
trades which looked rather to max
ing the congressman concerned, cap
ital with his constituents, than to ac-
complishing something for them that
would stand the test of irne and mee'.
he demands of trade and the require
ments of engineering judgment. The
salvation Of the navigation and of the
traffic of the smaller rivers of the
country is indissolubly bound up in
a broad and comprehensive system Of
waterway improvement which will
neglect no part of the United States.
In that way alone lines the path OF
successful conservation of our won-
derful waterway resources.
There being nothing more vital
to sound government than economy
