great deal more harm than good particu-
larry as 1t is not true. The Democrats
stood by the President from the start,
and it is notorious that but for the ac-
tivity of the Democrats the war never
would have been fought. There We're just
as many Democrats in the ranks that
stormed the fortifcations around Santi-
ago as Republicans, if not more; and it
IS a safe bet that fully two-thirds of
Col Roosevelt's own Rough Riders were
recruits from the Democratic party.
The President especially does not relish
being bracketed with Col. Roosevelt in
such way that Roosevelts defeat will
mean a direct rebulSe of the Washington
Administration 1t is understood that the

protocol, and the facts of which are
not as secret as Mr.. Edmunds, Arch
bishop Ireland, and others might wish.
The President, in this connection, has
been placed in a deplorable position,
not TO call it anything worse. He has
an opportunity to clear himself of the
suspicious that naturally attach to his
course. If it be true that he has au-
thorized his party trombones to sound
to the masses, the tune that he will

would lend one hundred thousand dol
lars to Senator Quay. the deposit to re-
main undisturbed until the loan should
be repaid. The question of the illegality
of this arrangement depends on the
laws of the State defining the authority
Of the treasurer over such funds. In
some States, the treasurer is allowed
a large measure of discretion as to de-
posits, being held personally RESPONSE
BILE for any loss from the failure OF the
bank in which he deposits State money.
In recent years. however, the tendency
has been toward a restriction of his
power, scme other officials or the legis-
lature itself deciding where the money
shall be kept.
OF the immortality of the proceeding
there can be no question. The State
treasurer is paid a salary commensur-
ate with his responsibility, and there
fore has no more right to personal
benefit from the deposit of State funds
more than any other citizen. He has no
right to favor a particular bank by
deposit of the public money in return
for personal favors. 1t may be that the
laws of Pennsylvania are as specific as
they should be and place such safe
guards about the funds as to make
their use by Senator Quay as security
for a loan a criminal offense.
Senator Quay is not lonely in this
matter. There have been many unsay
ory scandals in a number of States be-
cause public officials are not able to
resist the great temptation to speculate
with public money. Nor is this the
first time he has been charged with
having profited by his influence over
the treasury. The former charges We're
never brought to trial, but they were

(Fr0m the Chicago Ilmes-HeraId.)
Never but once have we been on the point of
war with France-in fact did have a round or
two on the ocean-but wise counsel prevailed on
both sides and war was averted. This was in the
presidency of old John Adams. just a hundred
years ago. Since that day the two nations have
been friends, and in the struggles of the French
people for freedom and selfgovernment they have
ever had the deepest and sncerest sympathy OF
the American people.
