Toll Bridge Evil

NN/IIH all their push, Californi-
w ans have not been able to
free themselves from the toll bridge
pest.
They have built thousands upon
thousands Of miles of perfectly good
roads only to have some private
concern take possession of inter-
Vening rivers and creeks. There are
said to be more than $25,00O,O0O
worth of privately owned toll bridges
in the state and there would be
three times as many in prospect if
Governor Young had not put his
foot down.
Governor Young has undertaken
to stop the nuisance not only by
putting up the bars against future
applicants, but by providing a sys-
tenn of financing whereby the pub
tic can recapture the toll bridges
now In existence without issuing
bonds against the general revenue
Of the state.
We need more Governors of that
kind, and more of the same spirit
at Washington. Of all the methods
by which private interests are per-
Initted to horn in and take advan-
tage Of public necessity and public
work, the toll bridge is the least
| excuSable.
A tool bridge would not be worth
a cent without q road at each end.

WYE are glad every time we read
w that somebody has added to
the endowment Of some little college
for it is the best college for the
young student, away from home for
the first time, and in many respects
it is the best college for any boy
inasmuch as it means more intimate

What the ultimate benefit is to

Who Lied?

On another page of this newspaper IS print
ed today a most remarkable letter.
1t comes from the wife of Rev E. S. Shu-
maker the dry leader who is now a number,
milking COWS at the penal farm, cloaked with
the mantel Of silence and secluded by prison
rules.
She protests against the statement that her
husband ever tried to influence the supreme
court through political personages-and her
witness is Senator Arthur r. Robinson.
The matter has been before the supreme
court
1t will be recalled that when Arthur L. Gil
lion was attorney general he brought to the
attention Of the supreme court letters ex-
changed between Shumaker and Senator
James E. Watson and asked that Shumaker, the
defendant, be given an additional sentence be-
cause of the differences in correspondence with
Watson that he had attempted to influence that
court
In defense of her husband Mrs. Shumaker
recites the sworn evidence Of Senator Robinson,
denying that ever by letter or spoken word,
had he attempted to interfere with the SEN
tence.
Against this is the written statement of
Senator Watson.
In his letters he said that he had first heard
Of a Jail sentence in the Shumaker case when
Robinson came to his office in Washington and
asked him to do what he could to ''keep Shu-
maker out of jail
Either Robinson or Watson lied.
No other conclusion is possible. For ii Rob
inson told the truth when he says that either
directly or indirectly he never attempted to
Interfere Watson lied when he said that Rob
inson came to him and solicited his aid.
IF Watson told the truth, then Robinson not
only lied but perjured himself when he sWore
TO the quoted statement that he had not tried
to interfere.
The supreme court listened to the plea OF
Gilliom and heard oral evidence of Clyde Walb,
now a convict, and others, and read, presuma-
blv. the iocular deposition of Watson taken III
Washington. It found that Shumaker did try
to influence the court, but in view OF the status
of the case, decided not to change the Judg-
ment.
Either the statement Of Robinson is cor
rect or it is false. Likewise Watson told the
truth or he falsifed when he said that ROBIN
son came and asked him to use his influence
upon a case then pending in that court.
Of course, the question may now be purely
academic. 1t is not, apparently, academic tS
the friends Of Shumaker, who may be very
properly interested in knowing just what nap
pened.
The state as a whole might show some H.
terest in the entire matter. 1t may wish 10
know, for future reference, just when one ol
IFS very distinguished senators, both OF Wnom
always profess great interest in prohloltlon'
told the truth about the whole affair
The state; too, will show nothing but sym
na+bv for tile efforts of the wife of the dry
leader to protect his reputation from any I'M
mutation that he had tried to influence the
court, even though that body has decided that
such was the case.

Editor Times-While we praise
Abraham Lincoln, let us not forget
that the history of this great man
can not be written without includ
ing that of Karl Marx, the discov-
erer of what is called MARKHAM So
cialiSm.
During Lincolns troublesome
days, Marx went to England and
aroused the common people of Eng
land against that country recognize
ing the south.
Had this not been done, there
might have been a different story
to tell and we might be celebrating
some other mans birthday.
These two men we're close friends
and thought pretty much alike, No
doubt if Lincoln we're living today,
he would be fighting with the
Socialist. Let us keep our history
straight and give all the heroes of
the past the credit due them.

Editor Times-Mr. Nathan's airy
tossing aside of the subject of anti
yivisection is humorous If taken at
face value. There probably are
women VINO strain at guinea pigs
and swallow babies" but the whole
of vivisection is not concerned with
saving babies at the expense of
guinea pigs. 1t is more often con-
cerned with saving adults from the
penalty of ignorant or willful disre-
gard OF natural laws, at the expense
OF dogs, cats. horses, apes, etc.
The vivisectOrs would have us be-
lieve that the dog whose fate is to
die under the psychologists knife. is
favored signally above those dogs
permitted to live out the natural
span of life allotted by their creator.
There is no accounting for perverse
points of view. Carl Won Vechten
says he knew an employer of child
labor and a fox hunter, both OF
whom complained they diSliked cats
because they were so cruel to mice!
There are instances in which in
senSibility in the animal would
Illustrate success of the experiment.
Also, why imagine that diseases
painful to human beings are any
less painful when inoculated in
dogs? Recently, the press ran col
umns about the experiments of two
French doctors whose sick and pain
crazed apes occasionally escaped
their cages and terrorized the quar-
ter.
Vivisectionists point with pride to

is customary around the late
days of March and the middle
of April, and as soon as the
last game is spilled the aver
ages can be struck and every
body knows who is who for the
season which in many instances
started as early as last Septem-
Der.
Customarily it isn't more than
"a or 48 hours before the prize
money is forthcoming from the
duly elected and properly paid
official, but in the three cases
of which we speak this gesture
is said to not yet have ma
terialized, and the tongues of no
few folks are doing some little
wagging therefore.
AS the better part of a
month has elapsed in every in
stance since these awards should
have been made the cause for
their apprehension is no doubt
we'll founded. The party of the
first part is said to not have
been seen in his accustomed
haunts or elsewhere, for that
matter, and indeed one bowler
has received letter from him
postmarked in a distant city,
but making no monetary ac-
counting whatsoever.
Well tell you the whole town
is talking as a result of this
thing and we would not be
greatly surprised if some serious
step is soon taken to recover
in toto the absent funds, If
indeed they are still intact. 1t
is no small matter to step
away from the city limits with
that which is due and payable
to another; in fact some people
calls it misappropriation of
funds and others say it con-
stitutes malfeasance in office.
We calls it a dirty trick and
if we were one of those prize
winners, which we aren't, we'd
be good and sore.
The total amount involved is
around $1,000 or $1,000, which
is no laughing matter, and you
can take it from us there is
