Corden continued: "Thieves, grafters and criminals of all kinds rule Chicago." He denounced the "hypocrisy" of the church and criticized Rockefel ler and Carnegie for the "stifling of criticism by large gifts to colleges and libraries," and added: "We are at the mercy of as con scienceless a gang of pirates as ever scuttled a ship, and unless we do something to stem the tide we soon shall be on the brink of a revolution. it we stop the stealing that is done by the rich from the American peo ple, we shall have no need of endow ments for our colleges for we shall De able to pay our own bills." The reverend user of these lurid words speaks the truth in his last paragraph, as given above, whatever may be said of his views on the sub ject of the relation of Chicago to the lower regions. The forces he inveighs against are precisely those that de feated Bryan in 1896 and 1900. One may ask what Is the use of re curring to these past occurrences. The reason Is to be found In the necessity for learning to avoid mistakes by the guidance of experience. For example, students of politics cannot fall to be Impressed with the fact that those leaders who cry now most insistently for adoption by the Democracy of the tariff as an issue, are the very oues who favored "incidental protection" when the country was ripe for adopt ing a tariff for revenue only, and aided Mr. Cleveland in "sidetracking" that paramount demand of his party In 1903. By Informing our new voters, we minimize the chances of their re electelng these hypocrites to repre sentatives places in the public or party service. AN ADROIT ATTACK ON BRYAN. Some of our Democratic contempor aries are publishing a Washington letter, which is evidently inspired by the "safe and sane" faction of the party. "Mr. Bryan's last statement as tq his attitude toward government con trol of railroads was a very popular one," says this letter. As a matter of fact, those who read Mr. Bryan's Madison Square Garden speech and his several utterances on the subject since, are .aware that he has not va ried his attitude in the slightest di tree. In order to excuse their own misrepresentations, his detractors de clare that he has changed. t Says this lngenlus correspondent, who ignores the fundamental differ ence between Bryan's decentralizing proposition and Roosevelt's centraliz ing practice In relation to the rail roads: It is taken as almost an assured fact in political circles here that Wil liam J. Bryan will De tne next Demo cratic nominee for the Presidency. Of course, Washington between ses sions is not the best place in the world to gain political Impressions, aside from the party In power. But that seems to be the way opinion Is now pointing. Mr. Bryan's last state ment as to his attitude toward gov- ernment control of railroads was a very popular one, largely because It put him closely in line witn rresi dent Roosevelt, who Is looked upon as the greatest exponent of corpora tion curbing. So, If Mr. Bryan is the nominee, the lines of distinction be- UUU11UOT, WW v, twen the parties so far as their at Htuda towards corDoratlons is con' cerned, will be very slight indeed. There is another story going me rounds so remarkable that it can be- i given under the caption, important if true." It is that the attitude of the Administration toward Mr. Bryan has changed mightily, and that he is looked upon hy the AaminiBirauou as the next best thing to a Roosevelt Republican, for It must be understood that Republicans these days are chief ly divided Into Roosevelt and anti- Roosevelt tactions, me rumor su that Mr. Bryan Is being held in re serve as the last card, and that if the sboice of the President for nomina tion is beaten and a oonfessed corpor ation, man Is nominated, mat me in nf the President will be thrown toward Mr. Bryan, not obtrusively, but at the same time enecuveiy, as no wlil.be considered the lesser of the two evils. 8TATI8TIC8 OF RAILROAD ACCI- - i DEN I a. ' ' Under the heading "Like a Battle Report," a Washington corresponaeni refers as follows to the Interstate Commerce Commission' "accident bul letln for October, November ana ue cember, 1906: " ' v Thirtnir this Period the total numoer of collisions and derailments was 5, m of which 501 affected passenger trains.

Because the atatute under which these accident .UUsUcs are gathered spec ifle that neither in whole nor In part shall they be used for evidence In suits for dam lltl commission makes it a rule tn nmitthe tiamee) the railroad on reader, therefore, cannot tell to what road tbe published facts apply, ' A Startling Showing. The total number of casualties to passengers and employes while on du ty during the ' quarter was 20,044, which Is an increase of 1,094 over the preceding quarter. The damage to ftni P?'"6 WM H M 8faln8t 81 re" ported killed in the preceding quarter. The period covered by this report was marked by a series of unusually fatal wrecks. That at Terra Cotta caused Congress to order an investi gation not only of Its circumstances, but also an investigation' of various automatic safety devices tor railroad operation. This investigation will be gin soon after July 1, when the appro priation made for the purpose be comes available. There 1b a startling significance In tbe compilation of causes of 40 noteworthy train acci dents. In 21 of them the cause was traced directly to carelessness, error of Judgment or professional negli gence on the part of railway employes. In a surprisingly large number of cases the men responsible for these lapses were either new to their du ties or had been . worked for a con tinued period until they were presum ably too exhausted to perform their work with efficiency. In one case an operator who had been on duty 24 hours fell asleep and fail ed to deliver a meeting order. Under the Hours of Service bill passed by the last Congress such a condition of affairs could not prevail without the railway being punished for it "Ballooning Safer." Under the heading "Ballooning Safer," "Popular Mechanics" has this to say on the general subject of the danger of life in travel on American Railways: Is the work of the aeronaut safer than that of the trainman on Ameri can railroads? Is there less chance of being killed in steering the airship than taking a train over a division? It would almost seem that such was the fact, judging by the recent report of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. The startling statement is made that the ratio of both killed and In jured to the total number of passen gers carried is twice as large as ten years ago. In other words, it is only half as safe to travel on steam roads now as a decade since. What it means to be an employe In the operating department of a steam railroad will be understood, in the following terrible showing: In 1905 one employe was killed out of every 411 employed. In 1905 one employe was Injured out of every 21 employed. In the above figures employes in every department are counted Includ ing the thousands "engaged In the safe occupations of clerks, telegraph ope rators, depot men, etc. When the score is counted among the men ac tually operating trains that is, en glnemen, firemen, conductors and oth er trainmen the rate of fatalities is astounding. In 1905 one trainman was killed out of ovory 133 employed. In 1905 on trainman was Injured out of every 9 employed. With the Increased use of heavy and vestibuled cars, Improved air brakes, steam heat in the place of stoves, gas and electric lights, gates and fences In depots, block signals, double tracks, electric headlights, and other safety devices, one would sup pose that, however dangerous might be the position of the trainmen, the passenger had been very material ly safeguarded. A statement that It was twice as safe to travel on the pas senger trains ten years ago as to-day would find few hearers who would be lieve It; and yet such is the fact, ac cording to the best government au thority. In proof of this assertion note these figures: In 1905, one passenger was killed to each 1,375,856 carried. In 1895, one passenger killed to each 2,685,832 carried. In 1905, one passenger injured to each' 70,655 carried. In 1895, one passenger injured to each 213,631 carried. The ratio of fatalltlqs to passengers carried more than doubled, and of passengers Injured more than trebled. When computed on the basis of pas senger miles traveled we find: in 1905. one Dassenger killed for each 44,320,676 passenger miles. In 1895, one passenger killed for each 71,696,473 passenger miles. When stated in another form the showing is apparently a very good one, for during the year 1905 there were carried as passengers 738,834,667 persons or about eight times the pop ulation of the United States, and of this vast army only 537 were killed. But while this by itself would seem tn ha n commendable record. It is to De a commeuaauie nu, overshadowed by other statement! , showing an Increase in ten years of 100 per cent Killed ana suu per ceui. injured. Nor is 1905 an exceptional year, for It show more deaths and accident than 1904. Is the percentage of death and dan ger going to continue to increase with the Inevitable increase in the number of passengers? The American peopie travel more each year and will con tinue to do so a the country become richer and more densely populated., , More New from the New.

BSedberSonaro ': A 'contrast. ;:,' ' ' . Harper's Weekly, for this Veek, con tains a remarkable cartoon. Upon top of a pile of bags of gold labeled respectively, "From Harriman," "Prom Sugar Trust," "From Standard Oil," "From Life Ins. Policy Holders." "From 'Wicked' Trusts," "From Rah- roads,", "From Protected TrustsA etc sits Roosevelt, the Rough Rider, Just elected President, triumphant. Di vided by a spear; upon whose shaft 1 inscribed the legend, "Knows No BrotherMs the same pile of gold bags; but they are crushing Roose velt, who writhe beneath their weight Under the first pile 1 the inscription "Patriotism;" under the other, "Con spiracy " The Intention, of course, 1 to hold up1 to scorn the two moods of the President who accented the money of the wicked Corporations In order that he might pay tribute to "Patriot lam" by becoming President; and, then, "knowing no brother" in his ex alted station, cries out "Conspiracy" against the very agents who ekd him, when these resent his betrayal of them. That is the "deadly parallel" which Harper's has so tellingly Invoked against the "versatile" President. But there Is another contrast, which Harper' seems to have been not al truistic enough to be conscious of, that the cartoon calls up. It Is the contrast between the mood of Harper's and of the great Republican party and its "Democratic" allies which fol lowed It in applauding the "patriotic" contributions of 1900 and 1904 that de feated the people in those years, on the one hand, and the mood of Har per's and its allies now now that the creature Roosevelt seems to have turned upon his creators. In harmony with these remarkable reversals of position, is the new-found advocacy of State Rights by those who paved the way to the centralization of to-day. Their professions of virtue are just about as valuable as those of the Randall "Democrats" of 1892, who supported Mr. Cleveland . that year with full assurance, as the result dis closed, that he would prevent the adoption of the paramount demand (tariff for revenue only) of the plat form which elected him, by the scan dalous use of his power in another he- half. A GENUINE LIAR. The public mind has been so much confused by the President's indiscrim inate application of the word "liar" that it is refreshing to know that a liar of the genuine sort still exists at least, he did until he died the other day. Of this sad event the Atlanta Journal says: The Champion Liar Dead. Leo Taxil, the champion liar of his time, has just died in Paris. It was Taxil who invented "Diana Vaughan," the supposed prophetess of black masonry, and hoaxed all Eu rope with it It will go down In the list with great hoaxes with George Psaimanazar and his Formosan hoax and the forgeries of Chatterton. Leo Taxil was not his real name. In fact there was nothing real about this champion "faker" of the age. He was uannei Antoine joyaua-ragea, and was born In Marseilles. Educated by the Jesuits, he very early developed faults which resulted in his going to a house oi correction He came to Paris filled, he said, with hatred of the Jesuits, and started an anti-clerical bookshop. Having be come a Free Mason, he was expel! ed from the order and then turned clerical. He made a public retraction with great pomp, and so Imposed on the clergy that they held a Bpeclal thanksgiving service at Montmartre. He began exposing with his custom ary violence his old allies, the Free masons and Free Thinkers, and in the course of his campaign alleged that the "black mass'" was still being cele brated by the Satanlsts among the French Free Mason. The clerical nurtv snatched at this with joy as means of discrediting their opponents, and Leo Taxil's books were translated into every European language. h invented the celebrated Diana Vnnehan. who was a high priestess of the Luclferlan sect and went so far as to supply her portrait to the Amer ican newspapers.

A Billy tory--whlch ha been print ed In nearly all the North Carolina pa pers except the Observer ha been going the rounds of the press to the effect that Snator Overman was Pres ident Roosevelt's choice for leadership of the Democratic minority In the Sen ate! - ; " We called it a silly tory, but we should have said a malignant story accepted only by the silly and evident ly intended to Injure one of the very best men North Carolina has had in public life. ' Our attention is called to this mat ter by the followllng, which Is taken from the last of Mr. Pence's Washing ton letters; Overman as Minority Leader. Some days ago the Baltimore Sun published a story under a Washington date line to the effect that Senator Overman Is favored for Democratic leadership in the Senate by the Pres ident Just how the 8un came Into possession of this exclusive informa tion Is a mystery to tbe laO corre- siKmdenfrjffjin Washington, who are till In W dark on the subject, albeit many of them are ' familiar .u with White House doings. The accuracy of the Sun's statement has been doubt ed since Its first publication. More than that It has never been seriously credited. There are ample reasons for this Incredulous frame of mind the part of the people familiar with public matter in Washington, Why should the President be tn favor of settling minority leadership in the Senate under any circumstances? But If the Executive should be disposed to run the Democrats of tbe Senate why should he favor a North Carolina5en- ator over Bacon, of Georgia. Daniel, kjtyVlrglnla, Rayner, of Maryland and been suggested for this honor? Bailey, the only other Senator suggested, would hardly meet with the Presi dent's approval, but Mr. Roosevelt would hardly open his mouih one way or another The Democratic Senators who stand In at the White House are those who vote with the President for his pet policies. No member of the Senate has a clearer record In this respect than Senator Overman. He is one of the few Democrats in the Senate who has opposed by his vote every treaty presented to the Senate for ratifica tion. He was criticized by some of his friends for opposing the ratifica tion of the Cuban treaty, wiich Hip President so strenuously favored. He stood squarely with the President in his fight on the rate bill, as did all good Democrats., but at every, other time he has been at variance with the Executive on public questions. There are other Democrats mentioned for the Democratic leadership in tbe Senate, who have stood by the President in the consideration of treaty matters, who would probably be more apt; to re ceive White House approbation., Overman Not an epu-ant- Senator Overman has not been and Is not a candidate for the minority leadership. Senator Rayner, of Mary land, has suggested the North Caro linian as an ideal man for party lead ership, and there have been other sug gestions on the part or. senate Dem ocrats that the honor should be ac corded to the Junior Tar Heel Senator, Last winter this correspondent repeat ed to Senator Overman some of the things that had been said of him in this connection, and he quickly dis missed the subject. Senator Overman is undoubtedly one of the most popular men in the Senate. He has exhibited diplomacy of a high order and his tactfulness as brought him to the front. He demonstrated ability as a constructive statesman when he framed the five day court review amendment, which was one of the two suggested by Dem ocrats that was finally Incorporated In the rate bill. In the event that the Senate Democrats fall to agree upon the Texas Senator when they caucus for minority leadership, Sena tor Overman will be strongly backed for the honor, but present indications are that Senator Culberson, of Texas, will be selected. Senator Overman could never be chosen as the minor ity leader by reason of Presidential favoritism, and if the honor should happen to come his way it would be attributed to the record he has made as a Democrat since bis appearance in the Senate. Mentioned For Vice President As indicative of the high standing ot Senator Overman in the Senate I was shown to-day an article from the Portland, Oregon, Post-Intelllgencer, containing an interview with Senator Plies. The Oregon Senator was quoted to the extent of a column on national politics in Washington and when ask ed as to his opinion regarding the Democratic Pf esidenttalnomlnee BalaT 'I have no idea who the Democrats will nominate unless It be Bryan. I notice that Senator Bailey, of Texas, has announced himself as in favor of hi colleague. Senator Culberson, If be wants the nomination. Senator Culberson is an able man. He would make an Ideal man from the Demo cratic standpoint If the South is to put forth a candidate, she would honor her self oy nominating cjulberson. He said he had heard Senator Over man, of North Carolina, mentioned as probable candidate for vice Presi dent on the Democratic ticket it that party selected a Northern man to lead it Senator Overman, aald Mr. flies, Is an able -and fearless man and a commanding figure in the Senate, but the Senator believes he would prefer to remain In the Senate, where he can do the State the most good. I know ot no man who is more popu lar In the Senate."

Washington, D. C, April 30. Secretary Taft has gone to Ohio to personally take up the fight against the machine wing of the Republican organization. He 1 up against a hard formation, and the situation has been complicated by the fact that the Pres ident has aroused the animosity ot the labor union element by his remarks during the Harriman controversy In lumping Harriman and Eugene Debs and Moyer and Haywood, the accused murderers of Governor Steunenberg, of Idaho, in the same category as "un desirable citizens." The labor element hold that as Moyer and Haywood are abo.,t to be brought to trial for mur der, the President's remarks will have the effect of prejudicing justice aga'.ust the accused. Therefore labor unions in various quarters have en tered strenuous protests and are pre paring to inject themselves Into the fight in Ohio and to take an active part in the general campaign as anti- Roosevelt bodies, more with a desire to gratify a personal desire fof ven geance than for the principle Involved. Word has been received at the State Department of the signing at Amapala of a treaty of peace between Nicara gua and Salvador. This marks the end of the present Central American war, and the treaty provides for a general peace conference ot the Cen tral American republics In the near future that it is thought will insure the continuance of peace in that re gion for years to come. The Presi dent has received a congratulatory telegram from President Zelaya, of Nicaragua, thanking him for the part he had personally taken In bringing about a cessation of hostilities. The peace pact containing the provision for a general peace conference is the same in effect as that signed on the Marblehead about a year ago, but which was naver put into effect, owing to the strained relations between the Central American countries at the time. Now that the pressure has been relieved by a fight the air is clearer and it Is thought that the con ference will be held with some chance of success. Patent Commissioner Frederick I Allen has resigned from the important post he has held under the Interior De partment for the past six years, and will follow the example of some of his predecessors In office and return to the practice of law. Commissioner Al len has not had an altogether tran quil time In his long administration. The office under his care fell dread fully Into arrears of work, and there were any criticisms of his administra tion. A gaod many influences were at work to oust him from his job, but it took a good deaf ol time and much effor to pry him loose from such good official salary. His successor has not yet been named, but quite probab ly It will be Assistant Commissioner Moore. What is needed in the office above all things now, is prompt and effective business administration to clear up the long list of arrears with which the office has been struggling for some years past and ior which Commissioner Allen's Incompetent- ministration le at fault. A new record was established in the Dead Letter Office this month in the return 6f undelivered letters to their writers. This has always been a rious problem, and till a few months ago it looked as though the Dead Let ter Office had become so congested that it never would be able to catch up and return letters with reasonable promptitude. The work bas been sys tematized under the administration of Assistant 1 Ootmaster General P. V. De- Graw. He held from the time he first took office that there was no reason why dead letter' mail should not go back to its writers immediately. He set the force In the office to cleaning up the arrears and two months ago succeeded in returning 14,488 letters. This record has been badly beaten this month, when 20,308 letters were returned, leaving arrears of only w 000 to be dealt with. This Is a cheer ful contrast to the situation a few months ago when there were over 200, 000 letters in the division waiting vainly for return. DeGraw Is himself an old newspa per man and was formerly manager of the United Press in Washington. He is an expert telegraph operator and has the distinction of operating daily the shortest telegraph line in the world.

Mr. DeGraw uses the telegraph line instead of the teleDhone in directing his two assist ants. He sometimes uses It also for dictation, and will sit at his desk and dictate letters by wire to his clerk the next room.

Correspondence of The Observer. St Petersburg, Fla., April 27, .'07. Mr. Editor: -- It has been ho lack of interest In my native town that has kept me si lent so long. I have been entertain ed while assimilating, getting familiar with new people and conditions. St Petersburg-on-the-bay, twenty miles from Tampa, with its advantages of clime, beauty and health, will be come the California of the South. I have been here since September, teaching In the graded school. Our school is said to be the best in tho State of Florida.and that is saying a good deal, considering the high stand ard of the schools here. It is due to tbe splendid management of the lo cal board of trustees, together with the hearty and enthusiastic support the patrons, that we have a fine manual training school In connection with the graded and high school. The salaries of the teachers, too, is much better than In our own State. The town Is composed of people from every State, although the major ity are Northerners. Social features are good a fine cosmopolitan spir- kindly and tolerant, exists. Every body Is good as air body, and a whole some coniaradirie is the rosult, as al ways among Intelligent up-to-date peo ple. This Is a tourist town. As nearly i can be estimated, some twelve thousand tourists visited here during the course of tbe winter. The native population is something over four thousand, and the harvest they gather from the visitors who flocii here from Maine to Nebraska and even down to the Carollnas, ought to sufficient to keep them happy throughout the year. A spirit of improvement is at work tn the town, and from a long line of acquisitions, the following may be mentioned: Eight churches, two banks, two good newspapers, a public water works s-.stem. owned by the city, an electric light plant, electric railway, Ice factory, three fruit packing houses and numerous other signs of industrial thrift. There are also twenty hotels, some of them large and handsome. The climate is the best in the world, 'v received letters from home telling of snow, sleet and rain. 1 d smile con tentedly, put on a thin waist and walk out in the splendid sunshine. The beautiful drives oi. which you see the odd looking palmettos, feath ery bamboos, orange orcnaras ana quaint darky groups that you d like to snap if you have a kodak, all these things with boating, bathing and fish ing make life pleasant. Oranges and alligators thrive and can De louna in aounaance, uui as most of the latter are confined in tanks the citizens walk'the streets in safety. On every side are seen large orange groves. L,oads or iruil are uany ta ken to the packing houses where they are sorted, boxed and shipped to Northern markets. I wish all ot my friejids could have enjoyed the fruit here as I rave done this winter. I eftw our good friend Dr. John Mac- Rae, in Tampa recently. He looks splendid and says "he is getting rich." The only tourist that fayetteville sends here is Mr. Alex. Carver. He comes every winter. He can tell you that fishing here is a truthful act, no need for exaggeration. You go out here in Tampa Ray, or in the Gulf of Mexico (which is only a few miles distant), and come back laden with all kinds of fish. 1 could write on and on about beau tiful St. Petersburg, but there are oth er spots on the map, so I shall not tire your readers longer, but will say that Fayetteville is quite a big spot In my estimation, and ! hope to see the good people there before very long.
