Both New York and Philadelphia
banking concerns are behind the
road.
The Oklahoma counties that Will
receive new mileage as result OF
the line are Comanche, Stephens,
Carter and Murray. AS these coun-
ties are very heavy agricultural
producers and are lacking in east
and west railroad facilities, it is
believed that they will develop a
heavy tonnage. Aside from the ton
mage developed in the Immediately
contiguous territory, the Ardmore,
Duncan t. lAwton railway will af-
ford the only connecting transporta-
ton link In south Oklahoma be-
tween the network Of roads that ira
verse the eastern Oklahoma mineral
section and those that permeat the
western agricultural belt. 1t is re-
zarded as certain that the road "ill
develop a through tonnage between
the two sections that will even
eclipse in importance the local ton
mage from it's immediate territory.
It will afford the shortest haul on
coal TO the southwestern Oklahoma
counties. Altogether the Ardmore,
Duncan & Iawton line Is regarded as
one OF the most important stretches
Of new road now under contempla-
ton in the state.

Warming to Dillingham;

The second occurrence we consider
nothing less than insult to Ameri-
can decency. 1t came on the floor of
the senate. The LorimeT case was
up, and in view of the interminable
delays, the question was asked when
a report might be expected. With
a sneer and a laugh, Senator Dill
bingham, chairman of the commit
tee on privileges and elections, re-
piled that he could not wish his col
leagues anything better than that
they may live until we get through"
There could be no more insOlent
announcement, by plain inference,
that the Tories in control of the in
vestigating committee intend to ig-
more senatorial honor and public
disgust and persist in delays until
the term of the tainted Chicago boss
expires.
The above is taken from an edi-
torial in the Philadelphia North
American, which discusses the action
of the senate in generating Sena-
tor Stephenson and it's action in the
cases of Senators Lorimer and Du
Pont. We can hardly admit that
Senator Dillingham; made the above
remark as a sneer or a defiance to
those who want more speedy action
in the case of Senator Lorimer.
We believe he made the remark to
indicate the large amount of evil
dence the committee must consider
in order to do full justice in the
case. However Senator Dillingham;
and others should realize that the
public is entitled to az speedy action
as possible and that a just decision
should be rendered. The United
States Senate has certainly disgrace
ed itself in generating the methods
of Stephenson and tolerating as
long as it has the methods of Lori
mer. The country can never respect
body that shuts it's eyes to such
political corruption as was practiced
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1912-03-20

in these cases,
We agree heartily with the follow
ing statement by the North Ameri-
can:
Scarcely less insolent in def
-ance of all political morality and
right public sentiment, is the
action of the majority of the COM
mittee which has reported upon the
purchase of his senate seat by Step
henson, of Wisconsin. Stephenson
admitted that he spent $1O7,793 in
the primary election The testi-
mony of. fragrant bribery was SO
clear that the committee majority
was compelled to report that:
Such expenditures were in viola
ton of the fundamental principles
underlying our system of govern
hent, which contemplated the selec-
ton of candidates by the electors
and not the selection of electors by
the candidate.
ct was proved that voters were
extravagant sums for entertainment
were paid and that records and pap
ers conce. ming the campaign were
shifted from one place to another,
some of them having been destroyed
at was set forth in the testimony
that Stephenson's managers paid
money to different candidates for the
legislature, three of whom were ell
ected, and that if the votes of those
members had not been cast for Step
henson he would not have been elect
ed. 1t was proved that Stephenson
hired a large number of men to go
about the state and disburse money
in counties, townships and wards to
different individuals to induce them
to work for Stephenson at the cleo
ton. And the accusation by Senator
Bristow that not only was this done
with Stephenson's knowledge, but
that he actually participated in the
distribution of these funds, has not
been controverted.
'Yet the Tory majority of the SEN
ate committee reported that the
briber whose expenditures were in
violation of the fundamental princi-
pies underlying our system of gov
eminent is unsustained and a fit and
estimable senatorial companion"

tor of the CaIedonian:

Editor of the CaIedonian:
l have just been reading your
editorial endorsing Pres. Taft cop
led into yesterdays Rutland Her
aid. I think your paper and the
Mortified News deserve much credit
for standing by the farmers when
President Taft was doing his best
to force the farmer to sell his pro-
duce in a free trade market and
buy his labor and supplies in a pro-
tected market. That meant unfair
conditions for the farmer and we
resented it like blow in the face.
Especially was it to your credit
when you knew the passage of the
meant money in your pocket
under the free printing paper
clause and by the way I wish the
newspaper trust would let up
enoughs to let us know just to let us
enough to let US know just
how the measure is af-
do not suppose one half the people
realize that the papers could hardly
do less than support the president in
view of what he has done for them.
But why should any farmer sup
port Pres. Taft? You say reciproc-
ity is dead issue. Well, hardly,
as long as it is on our statute books
and we are still on our knees beg
ging Canada to grant it when she
gets ready.
Again the farmers are supposed to
have one representative in the cab
met. Is it not an insult to the far
mers against which they have pro-
tested in vain, to keep the presi-
dent of a brewery association in
that position? Does it not look as if
Pres. Taft was more anxious to keep
in the good graces of the liquor in
terests than of the famerrs? / firm
ly believe that he only climbed down
off the fence on DIR Wiley's side after
he had heard from the people.
You speak of the presidents 10y
atty to his friends. I wonder if a
very evident strain of obstincy in
his make up would not explain that.
Probably by this time you have
classed me as an ardent sup
porter of Roosevelt. Not so. 1t is
not that we farmers like Teddy
more, but Taft less"
agree with many of your critic
isms of Roosevelt, especially I do
not like to see him a candidate after
he had said he should not run again.
But 1 believe there was proof that
President Taft did not get letter of
his dated just right back in the Bal
linger controversy.
Anyhow I do not see how any self
respecting farmer can ever vote for
President Taft's, and here's hoping
he will not.
Respectfully,
L. H. SHELDON.

What makes a Savings Bank Safe!

The man or woman who thinks of
making a deposit of his or her lit
tie savings, oftentimes his or her all,
naturally does some hard thinking
with reference to the matter of safe
ty. There are great many finan-
cial institutions which parade at the
head of their announcements a long
list of distinguished names, names
which are an ornament, and names
of men whose association with any
Savings Bank ought to make a bank
worthy of confidence.
Depositors should not be deceived
by these names. The names Of Cen
eral So-and-So and Hon. So-and-So
and Col. So-and-So do not add to the
safety of the bank, if they belong to
that class of directors who are not
direct.
In this connection the Hyde Park
Savings Bank has a word to say. 1t
is a matter of common knowledge
that the managers of this bank have
given to it's investments such care
full consideration and scrutiny that
in it's more than tWenty-three years
of existence it has never lost dollar
by a poor note-a record perhaps
unparalleled in the history of banks.
Not only do it's managers scrutinize
with painstaking care every detail
connected with it's investments, but
the results show that those invest
ments are made conservatively and
with a determination that safety
rather than high rates of interest
shall be the guiding principle of the
Bank.
Parties thinking of making de-
posits are invited to address the
President, Carroll S. Page, or the
Treasurer, Frank M. Culver, Hyde
Park, asking for statement of its
assets and liabilities.
Deposits made either by registered
mail, check, postal money order, or
express money order, are absolutely
safe, as in twenty-three years ex-
perience not a dollar has ever been
lost by depositor sending money to
this bank by mail.
