ABOUrATrORNEY,' FEES

From time to time, and Often-times,
during the past ten months, the Demo
cratic machine journalism has attemp.
ted to "raise an issue" or make politi-
cal capital out of the statement that
the present State administration was
lavishly squandering the public money
by employing extra legal counsel and
paying big fees therefore. The criti-
cism, or rather the yelping and yawp-
ing,indulged in has not been inspired so
account Of the purpose for which they
were paid. This Democratic machine
journalism can everlastingly raise
platform howl about monopoly, rail-
road combines, encroachment of Fed
eral judiciary etc. ETC., but when an
administration has the courage to Op-
emily attack and boldly fight these pub
lie menaces and evils, then this same
Democratic machine journalism can
raise q bigger howl against that same
administration than they ever tried to
raise against those same monopolies
railroad combines, Federal judiciary
etc. etc. Doesn't this prove that Dem
ocratic machine journalism to be
frothy fraud and a haggiing hypocrltei
It is worthy of note that this Demo
cratic machine journalism tries tt

the present administration. Did yO
ever hear of any complaint of "extra'

istration?
Yet, look at the figures presente

show this Dem machine journalism
be a frothy fraud and haggling hyp

The thing that is paralyzing and
stupefying the Democratic machine
is the fact that the living, burning,
and all important question of tinan-
cial reform IS going to be the issue In
the coming campaign. Any issue that
has virility or honesty in it is as fatal
to the Democratic machine as bee
martin is to a June bug.

And now the esteemed Monroe
Journal seems to be enjoying an at

compliments are offered on so much OF

gratulations on the budding compre-

And so the Democratic machine was
for long while in favor of dropping
all other issues but that of getting con-
troll of the state; but it so happens
that little drop of an issue by that
machine doesn't hurt the issue at all
That machine dropped all issue ex-
cept that of office and plunder and
spoliation long time ago.

The Spanish government has dis
avowed the sentiment expressed in the
DeLome letter, but when Senior De-
LONE reaches Spain it is understood
he will be given a great ovation. This
kind of disavowal, in international
parlance, is called diplomacy. in every.
day intercourse between individuals it
has another name.

City people who read, almost exclu-
sively, the Democratic machine morn
ing papers, are the most wofully mis-
informed and misguided people on
earth. They have formed habit Of
believing about everything these morn
ing journals say, and it is really pitiful
to see how far behind they are as to a
knowledge of the general sentiment in
the State. In politics and economics
they are always as much as two years
behind the country people.

Miss Frances Willard, the great
Woman's Christian Temperance Un-
ion leader has passed away. The work
of this noble woman is too we'll known
to the civilized world to need comment.
She was a tireless worker and had
splendid ability to organize and ad-
minister. While the organization OF
which she was the head. will no doubt
suffer keenly her loss, we trust hel
desth will in no way impair the work
in which she labored SO effectively.

And some time ago the Democratic
machine journalism was singing song
of "straight fght''-"redeeminR the

sung a NEW song and now the State

the esteem felt for them by their con.

bonds in gold, there were only twenty.
four senators willing to go on record
as voting for the Lodge substitute,
which specifically stated that all bonds
should be paid in gold or its equivalent,
while thirty.twO voted against the
Teller resolution Can anybody blame
the constituents If the six senators who
voted against the Teller resolution aud
either declined to vote or voted against
the Lodge substitute for calling them
