Clarence S. Funk, General Man
ager of the International Harvester
Company, Wednesday before the state
senate bribery investigating commit
tee, at Springfield, Illinois, exploded
the biggest sensation of the Lorimer
bribery case. He testified that Ed
ward Hines, of Chicago, millionaire
lumberman, asked him as manager
of the Harvester company to contrib
ute $10,000 to reimburse certain men
who had put up a $100,000 "slush
fund" to elect William Lorimer to
the United States Senate. Now what
do you think of that?
A Wise Policy .
Officials of the Southern Railway
announce when a wreck or ac
cident occurs on any of their lines
complete and accurate information
will be furnished the newspapers
without question and without quab
ble. The Augusta Chronicle thinks
"the decision is a wise ?,ne, and the
road will lnd, as others following
that policy have found, that nt will
benefit in the end.
"Much of the prejudices against
railroads which has been capitalized
by a certain type of politician is due
to the old-time mistaken policy ol!
exclusiveness and lack of confidence
towards the ?public on the part of the
corporations.' A railroad is a quasi
public institution! The public is in
terested, and has a right to know,
about any important occurrence con
nected therewith.
"Until a few years ago, every rail
road In the country maintained a :rul?
of secrecy with regard to matters of
public inteest that would have
shamed trie officers of the Czar of
Russia. When ?wrecks occurred, those
with all available correct information
gave corect imitations of the calami
ty when the newsgatherers went
around. The result was that a re
porter assigned to a wreck always; got
a "story" from somewhere or some
how, but it was usually inaccurate,
exaggerated and nine times out ot
ten unduly harmful tc the fallroad.
But the newsgetter was not to blame;
for in many instances wrecks oc
curred at inaccessible points or es
sential details could be obtained only
from the management of the road.
"But the policy announced by the
Southern is only one step in a direc
tion that many should be taken by
the managers of railroad properties.
They ohould take their patrons into
their confidence, and be perfectly
frank with them regarding rates,
schedules and all other matters re
lating to service. They should have
nothing to conceal, and therefore
should hide nothing. Let the public
understand about the operations of
a railroad, and in a majority of cases
It wrill be convinced thf.t it is operated
honestly. Knowing this, the ear of
the voter will not be attuned to the
screachy voice appealing to anti-rail
road prejudices^-prejudices which
con be overcome as to the body of the
people by candor and open dealing."
Keep Good Towns Down.
The Augusta Chronicle says hun
dreds of good towns l ave been kept
in the village classification and de
nied their proper growth by factional
strife and personal animosities. Ab
an example of what *i means by the
above the Chronicle says they are
now trying to pass a bond Issue in
Colquitt, Miller county. We know
nothing of the proposition. It may
be good or it may be bad, but the
issue seems to have been forgotten in
the factional bitterness engendered
by its discussion. Ar. exponent up
holding the bond issua writes a col
umn long card to the local paper,
from which we extract the following:
Right here I dispute ever being
an associate of yours during any ?
period of my life. No connections
whatever with you except imagi
nary objects from your muiclple
vision.
I find you still suffering from
illusions.
Take the safe remedy from your
old family physician. Stop your
^nocking, kicking and -
8 hing; close your childish prat
tles; get with the progressives.
Again, being an orator of re
nown, many of us remember with
great pleasure your maiden ora
tion delivering med&ls to the mer
ited at the close of the late Miss
Alice McCann School, (hie).
It is reasonable lo assume that the
above is In reply to srmething equal-;
ly as personal and foreign to the;
question at issue. No matter how
badly the bond issue may be needed,
it would be better to forego it entire
ly than to precipitate debates of such
type between leading citizens. Sucb
senseless pow-wowlng holds many a
good town down, and lets better tem
pered and less deserving rivals * es
cape with the bone ol: progress.
Stranger Than Fiction.
The Nashville Advocate says were
the story of Samuel Burdette woven
into a novel, it would be pronounced
fiction of the most crude type. It is
the truth, nevertheless; and there are
many who rejoice chat vindication
has come, even thourh it be 30 years
late, and that suspicion has been
lifted from a worthy man that he
may stand spotless before his fellow
men In his declining days. Thirty
years ago Samuel Eurdette, a regis
try clerk in the posroffice at Peoria.
111., put a package of registered let
ters containing $3,b 00 into t. mail
sack and billed it to its destination.
When the sack was opened the pack
age was missing, and suspicion fell
upon Burdette. Owing to the con
fidence reposed in him by his super
iors, Burdette was not prosecuted,
but was retained in his position foi
two years longer, when he entered
the ministry and was sent to Asia as
a missionary. For several years past
he has been pastor of a church in
Springfield, Mass., loved and honored,
but occasionally reminded of the
missing registered package, a few
weks ago a veteran mall sack found
its way into the government repair
shop in San Francisco, and. under
neath the lining in the bottom was
found the package, where it had been
hidden from sight for 30 years. Im
probable as the story is, its truth
has ben vouched for by the postal au
thorities.

Lame Dock Pond.
There seems to be a lot of pub
lic money wasted in putting defeat
ed congressmen on commissions for
which there is little use, and for
which, if they are of use, very few
of the appointees have needful quail
fications. It Is getting so that for
almost every conceivable thing there
is a commission, and apparently they
are created mainl} for above named
purpose. If a co. gressman on the
dominant side, or any side, is defeat
ed for renomlnation or re-election it
is always open to him to follow his
previous calling or take up some vo
cation. That, certainly, would be
more manly than to be cared for by
the government at the expense of th*
public. The Democratic House should
look into this lame duck buslue33 and
cut off the supplies on which they
feed. This lame flnrk pond grows
bigger and bigger and it is about
time to abolish it.
