I hereby certify that one j. T.

fered q money consideration by
D, L. King of Hardy, candidate

ties of Lawrence, Sharp and

"Herald" out editorially in favor
of Mr.. King. Crawford had sta
ted to King that he was on a
trade to buy out the present own
er. He asked me if | would write
an editorial in favor Of King pro-
vided he (Crawford) could not
raise the money to pay the price
I had placed on the plant, assur-
ing me that | could get the
"dough' if | would do so. | re-
piled that | would not, under any
circumstances, take personal
sides in the campaign.
For this and other Irregularities
Mr.. Crawford has been discharged
from my employ and | most
heartily condemn the attempt to
buy the support of this paper
through its employees or any other
way. 1t may be practiced on
some papers but no amount of
money can buy the editorial sup
port of the Randolph Herald. If
a man is in the right he will re-
ceive its support without money
and without price.

Female Suffrage in America.
(From Harper's weekly.)


Four States have given to women I'M
limited political freedom, these States
being Colorado. Utah, Wyoming, and
Idahs. The women OF all these States,
except Idaho have already had the priv
iIege of voting in a Presidential cleo
ton. The women of Idaho voted in the
State election of 1888. but this year will
be their first chance to vote for a Presi-
DENTAL ticket There is considerable
difference of opinion among those who
have kept close watch upon this feature
of American political life as to the
value of the female vote to public insti-
tutions and as to the real appreciation
In which 1t IS held by those who exercise
it.
In the Presidential election of 1896
large proportion of the women of Colo
RADIO. Utah, and Wyoming went to the
polls and cast a ballot. A much smaller
number exercised this right in 1885, and
there is decided apathy among the
women of these States as to the outcome
of the election this year; in fact, this
apathy is so marked that 1t is not be-
lieved over so per cent of the women
will vote at ALL II the question OF
female suffrage was resubmitted 10
vote of the people of those states In
which it now prevails, it would prob
ably carry by considerable majority
again. but this would be due to the fact
that the women themselves would nave
r vote in this resubmission, which they
did not have when the question was
originally passed upon.

HAD ENOUGH OF COUNTRY.
A City Mans Experience During the
Little Outing.
fnom the netroit F1ee Press

Eyes, I'm back,' snapped Grumpy
Went away for months vacation and
got enough of it In week. Allowed my
self to be fimfammed by an old jay in
the country who advertised all the com
forts of home at reasonable rates. My
wife thought 1t would do the children a
world of good to get a taste of the coun-
try so we left our comfortable home with
the idea of spending four weeks comnlun-
ing with nature.
1.-THE old farmer with whom we stayed
seemed to be good-natured and took TO
the children, teaching them how to weed
osion3, feed the chickens. and pump
water for the stock. He offered to teach
me how to hoe cabbage. but l decl ned
with thanks. When | think of it now l
see that the old man was not as big a
fool as he looked. and that he succeeded
in getting his city boarders to do about
two thirds of the work on the farm.
"One day the children were hunting
eggs, and it awoke the memory of my
youth when did the same thing myself,
and Joined them just to show them that
/ had not forgotten how.
''Tll show you where they are,'
shouted, as l climbed into the hay NOW;
Just keep your eyes on your dad and get
few pointers!'
81 never thought could get so excited
over SO small a thing as hunting eggs.
1--we found one / shouted moment
later.
Gust then my foot slipped and l slid
down the hay head first into hay chute
and brought up moment later in one OF
the managers below with a Jar that threat
ened to break every bone lis my body.
while I lay there wondering whether
l was dead or alive the old farmer rushed
up and, with a voice that thrilled with
emotion, he gasped:
Did We break the egg?"

Circulation Statement
The Antics of Mr.. Honr.

Exactly why Senator Hoar should
amaze his Republican friends every lime
he opens his mouth or yields his pen
Gil in support of the Presidential can
didate he has been denouncing for
eighteen months as a Caesar and q
tyrant, is something that we do not
understand. But it is q fact that the
old gentleman cannot make state
ment reiterating his intention not to
vote for Mr.. Bryan without causing
wave of Republican admiration and
thankfulness that sweeps across the
continent from Lemuel Eli Quigg in
New York to Senator Perkins in Cali
fornia.
Yet. on the latest occasion, the joy
over one sinner that repenteth is. OF
ought to be, much modified by the
cruelty of the ancient political veteran
who. in the current number of the
North American Review" finds more
TO praise that TO criticise in Mr.. Bryan
and the Democratic platform, and shows
plainly enough that he would be out for
both were Il not that he cannot afford
TO ignore the trusts who furnish The
legislative votes upon which he must
depend for his seat in the Senate, and
who also are able to render his life In
Washington and Massachusetts, pleasant
for a gentleman of his cultivated tastes
and requirements.
Otherwise. why should anyone drop
dead with wonder because Senator Hoar,
who has been a bitter partisan Repub-
lican in public life for thirty-ave years,
consents to vote for the ticket Of his
party? One might as we'll go into hys-
terics on hearing that Senator Morgan,
of Alabama, would support Mr.. Bryan. or
that Senator Vest was safe not to cast
a ballot for Mckinley and Roosevelt.
People with sense knew in advance
what these gentlemen would do. and
what Seator Hoar must do, in view OF
his trust affiliations and control I'm
perialism, militarism. and the destruc-
tion of the Constitution appeal TO men
like Hoar only in an academic way.
He is good deal OF a doct-inaire.
But the other thing-the maintenance OF
trust domination over the Government,
is practical business. And Senator Hear
is a practical business man of the Hanna
type.

A BIG CONTRACT PLACED.
The u. & o. Orders 5000 Freight
Cars of the Pullman Company.

BALTIMORE. Oct. cit is understood
that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
awarded to the Pullman Company, of Pull
man, Ills, a contract for 5000 freight
cars. OF the new cars, $500 will be box
cars of $4,000 pounds capacity and 500 fiat.
This is the second large order for equip
ment given by the company within a week
The first order was placed last week with
the Pressed Steel Car Company, OF Pitts
burg. 1t was for 5000 cars.
The Pullman order involves an expendi-
ture Of about 81 ,s65,00o, and that of the
Pressed Steel Car Company an expendi-
ture OF about $4,000, 900, or total of ST.
6s5, 900 The company is also in the mar
ket for passenger equipment. and about
10000 tons of steel rails. The expendi-
ture on account of steel rails will amount
to over 81 900, 0C0. 1t is understood that
the company will issue car trusts with
which to pay for the nrw equipment. The
addition of the new cars will give the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad about 10000
freight cars OF different types OF this
number $4,000 will be steel. The company
now has 5000 steel cars in service They
are used principally for the transporta-

Roosevelt on His Travels.

The leaders of the Republican party
seem to be singularly blind to the TACT
that there is a certain improperly in
Governor Roosevelt's absence from AL
bany at this particular time. In fact,
there are so many things about the man
agement of the Republican end of this
campaign which call for explanation ana
excuse that the managers seem to have
concluded that it is vain to attend to them
all. and they appear to be determined TO
shut their eyes and go ahead without re-
gard to the proprieties. Perhaps 1t is
just as well.
For man who declared few short
months ago that he felt it his duty to re-
fuse the nomination for the Vice Presi-
dency on account Of urgent duties con-
nected with the Governorship, Coionei
Roosevelt seems to be taking those duties
quite easily. If his presence were ever
needed at Albany it is certainly needeo
now. and he is cavorting over the West
doing what New York business he has to
do at the end of a telegraph wire. In
fact, he is going over the country SO last
that it troubles the telegraph operators 10
catch him every time he IS wanted. II ne
has paid any attention to the affairs OF the
State which elected him Governor at any
time during the last five months it is not
of record.
The particularly picturesque element in
the situation is that the devoted Rough
Rider Is not doing all this speechmakmg
entirely as a labor of love. He is not siH-
ing up his regular business out of loyalty
to the Republican party. He is election
eering for himself and from the reports
Of his speeches one would be inclined TO
suppose that the ticket was Roosevelt and
Mckinley, for there is considerably more
broncbo than elephant about it. II may
be that the voters in the West viii come
to believe that the First Regiment Of Vol
unteer Cavalry was the only regiment con-
cerned in the Spanish-American war, and
that its lieutenant colonel personally con-
Quoted that war, all by his lone self, with
out the assistance OF Mr.. Mckinley; but
they do have newspapers and the tele-
graph out there, and the chances are that
other ideas have been impaired to them.
They will. however get the distinct i'm
preston that Roosevelt is making siren
uous effort to land himself in the Vice
Presidents chair and that in spite Of all
he said and did in the spring he wants
that chair badly enough to neglect the
work for which he now receives a salary
from the people of New York.

wealth and poverty, high and low sta
tion. and all the other things, which, as
Carlyle would say, are matters more
or less of clothes. The playwright of
modern times is apt to deal with ethical
problems, and this again shows the in
fiuences under which he worked. The
growing interest now felt in the various
types of humanity expresses itself in
the dialect play. But the simplicity and
and heroines is not found anywhere in
the work of the modern playwright, be-
cause the conditions under which he
wrote have vanished and will never re-
turn. 1t is entirely possible that we
may once more have great dramas, but
they will have to express the spirit
of the age. At present the form of art
pre- eminent is the novel and not the
drama. There was the dawning OF a
new drama in "Cyrano de Bergerac."
Rostand. in this play, did something
which the earlier dramatists never did;
he took a ridiculous character and made
him a hero. There is a tendency, visible
IN the literature more IMAM III Tue III anna
of today, to give the centre of the stage
to characters hitherto known only as
upernumeraries-the cripple, the man
who fails, the unsuccessful s-itor, the
man with some physical blemish. The
handsome and young have had the atten-
tion of the public long encuGh--so says
the modern muse-let us give the I'M
heroic a chance. There may be n them
the truly heroic traits often missed by
the successful In short, the new drama
and the new novel are tending toward
the apotheosis of the man who fails.
