SOCIAL AND OTHER LOBBYING.
(Chicago Record Herald.)

(ChicagO Record Herald.)
Members of the too-previous bril-
gade. who were disposed to ridicule
the lobby" investigation, are ac-
qulring further useful knowledge.
They have learned something about
social" lobbying, and now several
senators have testified concerning the
business of manufacturing opinion
and causing the bombardment of leg
islators from a hundred directions by
correspondents who affect fear Of
ruin.
That lobbying of this sort is well
organized and carried on by trusts
and privileged cliques; that thou
sands of threatening letters and tele-
grams are caused to be sent to legis-
lators by persons who have no facts
or arguments of any kind, and that
this faxed public opinion intimloates
the Weakened, especially If their
terms are nearly over and reelection
is devoutly wished for is perfectly
well known to the Independent ana
intelligent observer But 1t seems
that manv senaors and partisan edi-
tors have been too busy to observe
the rise and development of new
forms of lobbying. Their surprise is
most diverting. Some Of them are
innocent enough to see the greatest
danger to "honest legislation" IN
presidential discussion Of legislation
with members Of congress.
Will not Barrie-Sir James. we
should say-give US little farce or
fantasy dealing with these dear old
political boys, who have never grown

gerie of spoils and graft missing the

1t sometimes occurs that following
a train wreck in which passengers are
killed the rail-
The Higher Causes road Of Fl cials
OF Train Wrecks. make the engi-
neer or some
other trainman the goat when the
responsibility really rests more with
the company than with the employe.
A wreck of this character occurred
recently on the New Haven railroad
at Stamford, Conn. The Boston ex-
press, engineer Charles ]. Dougherty
in engine No. 1888, dashed into the
first section and killed six passengers
in the wooden Pullman parlor car,
Skylark. The engineer had been un-
able to stop his train by use of the
brakes or by reversing the engine.
An attempt was made by the railroad
officials to cruelty the engineer by
making him entirely responsible for
the accident.
But the New Haven railroad does
not stand well in public esteem in New
England and from New York to Maine
there was demand for an investiga-
ton, not by railroad interests but by
disinterested parties. Such an investi-
cation was conducted by a party
headed by Inspector Howard of the
Interstate Commerce commission. The
same engine No. 1888 was used and
the train made up exactly as on the
day of the accident. The train was
filled with New York newspaper cor
respondents and others interest d. On
the spot where the wreck occurred
eight separate stops were made to test
the workings of the engine and the
brakes. The test showed the engine
TO be unreliable. On some of the
tests the train went 255 feet further
than it did when Dougherty had his
accident. At other times it would stop
slightly short of that distance. When
the engine was taken to the round
house after the tests it was found
that one Of the rods of the air pump
was broken and therefore the engine
was almost as helpless as IL 1t had no
brakes at all. The investigation also
revealed that two days before the ac-
cident Dougherty had reported the
brakes on No. 1888 as mo good" AL
gineer to escape running down child
had difficulty making an emergency
stop and when the train did not re-
spond as he thought it should had at
tempted to reverse and strained his
back At the time Of the accident two
days later he was too weak to reverse
though he tried to do so.
The report of the experts who made
the tests contained among other
things the statement that one of the
principal reasons for the wreck wal
the stiffness Of the type of engine. The
report also charged that the engineer
lacked knowledge of braking due tC
his brief service as an engineer and Il
lack OF instruction. He had beer
given the engine but short time be
fore to replace another engineer who
had failed TO make an emergency stoI
in the proper distance.
Naturally It was not the fault Of
Engineer Dougherty that he had ar
erratic engine with which to pull the
Boston Express at the speed Of 81

barefaced lie ever
perpetrated to the injury of this coun-

founded on facts. 1t was a Baron

guilty of a colossal and injurious libel
on Umatilla county. A stranger read

fault. The company was also at fault
in trusting a fast passenger train to
an engineer who had not been aie-
quately instructed \ man who pulls
a passenger train should be well

There would be fewer train wrecks,

dent occurred the company officials,

the grill and questioned by experts
who have no bias and seek only to

reasonable theory and it is possible
that the good rainfall this season and
last has been due to the settlement

government project and the Furnish
project If so then the benefits de-
rived in the future should be far
greater than at present Though
there has been much development on
the Umatilla project the greater part
OF the land is still in the raw state
and unwatered. The same is true of
the Furnish project and the other
projects of the west end. What rain

FRANK JAMES
SPENDING LAST
YEARS At HOME
Former Famous Bandit Traced
Back to Missouri Farm Where
Brother Jesse Is Buried,

DENVER. July 12.-Within the lasI
few months there have come many
stories regarding Frank James, the
one-time bandit Frank James has
died in oregon, California and a few
other States, he has gotten religion
in the East, and he has been active
generally. And the queer part about
it is that he is alive and in good
health. and is spending his last days
on the old James farm a few miles
from Kearney, Mo, where Jesse
James is buried.
Brings Citizens Statement.
This is the information that is
brought TO Denver by L. Wright, a
motion picture proprietor. who re-
Gently made a visit to the farm in
Missouri When he returned ne
brought a statement with him, signed
by various citizens of Kearney, and
which reads as follows:
To Whom 1t May Concern:
This Is to certify that we, the
following citizens of Kearney,
Clay County, Missouri. hereby af-
firm that we are personally aC-

James, brother of Jesse James,
and that he is now enjoying good
health and is living on the old
James homestead about three
miles northeast of this city and
we furthermore state that he is
an honored and respected citizen
Of this community.
Il went back to get Mr. James
opinion regarding law and order" Mr.
Wright said Il am the proprietor OF
a set Of Jesse James pictures and
had received the criticism that they
were not moral. l Contended exactly
the Opposite-that they showed the
bad effects Of a life Of crime. So
went back TO get some expression
from Frank James on it. He told me
this.
James Maintains Innocence.
"Tf anyone thinks he can violate
the law and make a success of 1t, |
consider him insane, and his finish
will be the gallows or the peniten-
tiary'"
Frank James contends that he was
innocent Of all the charges of out
lawry placed against him. He points
to his acquittal as evidence.

My opportunity TO go back to the

past-worked hard before getting my
chance to rise from the chorus. Then
it was pleasant, indeed, to step into

PONY CONTEST /
CANDIDATES To
MEET IN PARK
BOYS and Girls Will Be Enter
tanned by Manager Of Race at
Grant Playground,

Boys and girls in The Georgian and
American pony contest Will enjoy an
informal gathering at Grant Park
Sunday afternoon, at the invitation
Of the contest manager. The ponies
will be on hand, and there viii be
rides and drives for all who care to
enjoy this pleasure.
Parents of the contestants are par
ticularIy invited. The contest man.
ager is anxious to meet them and to
discuss with them ways and means
Of helping the contestants through
the last few days of the race Six
teen more week days only remain
before the contest ends. Six DAYS
only remain during which the bonus
offer is in effect.
Race Keeps Close.
There is no candidate who can
claim yet to be a winner. There is
not enough difference between the
leaders and the tail-enders so that
any one can say who Will get a pony.
This is as it should be. It makes
the contest interesting up to the very
last.
The bonus offer should inspire ev-
cry contestant There are 10000 ex-
ira votes to be awarded for every
club of S35 turned in for subscrip-
tons: 1880 extra votes will be Civ
en- for every club of $25 and 5000
for every club Of SIS.
Assuming that a contestant turned
in six yearly subscriptions; he would
turn in $3.50, and be credited with
21,000 votes. In addition he would
be credited with a $S5 club, and 90
600 extra votes in consequence. In
other words. the voting power under
such circumstances would almost be
doubIed-41.O00 votes for $3.50 in
subscriptions. But the beauty of this
club offer Is that the clubs need not
be made up Of yearly subscriptions.
They can be made up of short term
subscriptions, even one month trial
orders.
Should Use Every Effort.
The contestant who does not
strain every nerve to take advantage
of this chance Is foolish, and is not
doing his full duty to himself, or to
the friends who are aiding him
Sixteen more working days only re-
main. The strain of the contest soon
will be over and the contestants may
take a well-earned rest. Naturally
it will be much more fun to rest and
recreate with the aid of a pony and
cart than to rest, thinking of defeat,
That is why the next two weeks
should be Crammed with effort, and
well directed effort.
Keeping everlastingly at it brings
success" says the contest manager
and he is right.
