A new era in railroading is predict

for the Association of Railway execu-

for the future with the economic
tragedy of the punitive and restric-

Basson (whom even the Judge called
'Peery" in his summing up in defer
ence to his family at the height of his
career was a young. man, not much
more than thirty, and reputed to be
the fastest walker in Capetown. He
was educated at one Of the best
schools at the Cape, from which he
was finally expelled for tormenting
animals. He was an insurance agent
and rent collector. Many-some say
forty, twenty would be much nearer
the mark-of the people whom he in
sured died suddenly.
Like William Palmer. his own broth
er was among the number.
If he killed them all he was unri-
vailed In the annals of crime for the
multitude Of his methods. In lonely
walks. by pools in the windy sands of
the Flats, In broad daylight, at night,
in the crops at Stellenbosch, in the
sick bed, by sudden falls from high
cliffs, in drowning in the sea-these
people ended their lives.
No one ever knew what he did with
the money. He was supposed to have
smoked opium with Cinnamon In Rose
street under Signal hall. The most
likely theory was that he was a miser.
and hid and cherished his gold alone.

MR.. HARRELD'S VOTE

1t is regrettable that so few Muskogeeans
were sufficiently interested in the candidacy
of j. W. Harreld, Congressman Scott Ferris
opponent in the contest for United States
senator, to attend Mr.. Harreld's open air
meeting on the Hotel Sewers plaza Tuesday
night. Mr.. Harreld has been assailed more,
perhaps, for his vote to keep Victor Berger
in the United States senate than any other
thing that he has done and in his address
Tuesday evening he gave his explanation for
that vote.
The Phoenix is willing to accept Mr..
Harreld at his word, to admit that his vote
was cast exactly as he Declares indeed it is
his own statement that should convict him
and overwhelmingly defeat him for the honor
to which he aspires
Mr.. Harreld-if we Judge from his Mus
kogee address, the type of statesman who
cinches his argument with the cry of "liar."
He is of that kind who believes he can
stifle criticism with threats of damage suits
for SANDER and libel. His discourse Tuesday
bristled with such phraseology calculated to
still the voices of his opponents for all time.
Mr.. Harreld declared that he did not vote
to seat Victor Berger in the congress of the
United States. He did not. Only Mr.. Ber-
gers disloyal constituents have that power.
1t was not vested in Mr.. Harreld or any other
congressman. But Mr.. Harreld did vote to
keep Victor Berger in his seat in congress-
he voted may" upon a roll call that ousted
him. Just what the candidate means when
he says his vote is ''in no wise an indication
of how l might have voted on a clear-cut
proposition to- throw Berger out of congress
it is difficult to understand.
The resolution which only he and five
other congressman opposed "was designed"-
we quote Mr.. Harreld-"to deny Berger a
seat in congress-"
Mr.. Harreld would have the people be-
lieve he is being assaed because he voted
against ousting socialist But the citizens
