That certainly is q strange story which
the New York Times tslls OF the inter-
ference of II. II. Rogers, acting on behalf
OF the STANDARD OIL company In the ne
got'stions for the sale Of the Danish
Wsas Indies to the Uhitsd States. Briefly
itss.sd the story is that MIR. Rogers repre-
scented that the sals could not be con.
summated II the Standard Oh company
opposed 1t, inasmuoh as the company
controlled the votes OF twenty six mem
ters Of the. Senate. enough to defeat the
ratification of a treaty. and then sought
to get the Danish agent to give him or
HIS company a commission of $i01, 900 t o
negotiate sale. The worst part of the
statement is the assumption that TWEEN
ty-six senators are praotis ally owned By
the Standard OIL Trust, and that they
are ready TO vote as that concern dictates.
The probability Is that there is no truth
In this assumption, and that MIR. Rogers
was trying to put mp "big bluff. But
1t constitutes SO serious an aspersion
upon the highest legislative branch of
the government that it ought not to be
SLOWED to pass without an Investigation
II Mr.. Rogers made the statement he
ought to be compelled either to back It
up or withdraw It. II the treaty ratify-
ing power OF this government Is un der
the oontrcl of a private syndicate to
such an extent that any treaty can be
defeated which 1t does not approve, the
people cannot learn the fact too soop.
If...on the other hand, as We believe was
the case, Mir. Rogers was making y claim
that was unfounded, then he has rut his

of election will be very good. Doubtless
he is right, but there are n great many

inspire his followers with much enthu-

his vote of four years ago. In all proba-
biiity he will not do that That IL to

then will not vote for him this year. A

Let farmers count the cattle and
hogs on their farms and figure up
how much more they are worth today
than in democratic times and then
ask what they "a hope to gain by
reverting back to the old conditions.
If this is not enough just make a
similar computation with the other

One of the most energetic field
workers for the success of the Petit
grew Legislative ticket in Day coun-
ty is a fellow who was arrested and
later run out OF the county by the
ladies of Lily and vicinity for run
ming, contrary to law, a wet goods
emporium, commonly known as a
blind pig. Another worker with a
jail bar sinister on his escu.heon is
daily pursuing his lying pathway
through the county advocating the
election of Bryan and Stevenson and
retailing the falsehoods furnished by
his %superiors. This is the class of
disciples sent out by the opposition
to spread the gospel of Organism.
Why, such men wouldn't know the
truth if they met it in the road. But
they are getting good Pettigrew
money for their dirty work and as
long as their employers believe they
are earning it, suppose it is alright,
but it is no wonder the country bows
are getting disguised.
