NOTICE,

vile, w. Va, will take notice that
Shannon L. McCurdy, on the 30th day
of June, 1900, filed his petition in the
Clerks Office of the Court of Common
Pleas of Washington county, Ohio, be-
ing case No. 9551, against the Keystone
Oil and Gas Company, Of Chicago, H.,
and the defendant, The Tyler County
Bank, of Sistersville, w. Va, alleging

THE ICE TRUST,

In the New York Democratic state
convention, at it's first session, dele
gate offered a resolution demanding
that the attorney general "a Republic
an oficiaD proceed without delay
against the merciless combination
known as the Ice trust and take such
legal measures as will give relief to
the suffering people," but the resolu-
tion was ruled out of order. That pre-
siding officers knew his business to a
nicely. He understood for certainty
that there was no room in any New
York Democratic convention for any
thing against the Tammany ice trust.
But how did such delegate get in?

BOSS CROKER
ON
POLITICAL ORGANIZATION.

Organization in politics is just as es-
sential to the moral welfare of the
community as organization in religion.
If there were no political organization
there would be no government. Anar-
chy would ensue. In an autocratic
country, where the people have no
rights and no voice in the government,
there is no need of political organiza-
ton, but where there is anything ap-
preaching popular government there
must of necessity be parties, and If
there are parties there must be funda-
mental organization Theorists and a
certain class of newspapers are perpet-
ually crying out against the "organiza-
ton" and leaders" The practical
man and the truly thoughtful citizen
takes no part in this clamor He
knows that the Organization" is the
true representative of the people, good
or bad, as they choose to make it. And
right here let me say, there can be no
bad Organization" for any length of
time Let it be shown that the 'or-
ganization," whether it be Democratic,
Republican, Populistic, or what you
will, is corrupt, and it will be over
thrown so quickly and completely that
the most rabid organization man must
be satisfied. The people are never mis-
led for any length of time. And, on
the other hand, they are not to be
fooled into a condemnation of organi-
zation by the absurd clamor of theo-
rists, nor yet by the chicanery of the
people on the other side.
/ know of no better illustration of
this than we have had in New York
Tammany Hall has been the subject of
investigation and attack from doz-
en- quarters. All sorts of efforts were
made to prove that there was corrup-
ton. There was great throwing of
dust, but the eyes of the people re-
mained wide open. They could see
nothing of the bugaboo raised by the
men and the publications who are
against the organization" on general
principles, who want to tear down, but
have nothing better that they can
build up. Well, then, in the face of all
this clamor, the great body of the peo-
Pile remained cool and critical.
When election time came, the time
when the question went before the
jury of voters, the Tammany ticket
was elected by an overwhelming ma
jority. Now, that would have been
impossible. as absolutely impossible as
fight to the moon, if the organiZa-
tion had been corrupt. No politician
on earth no set of politicians can in
fluence the great body of people on
vital issue. When such issues rise, the
people do their own thinking, and they
do their own voting all the time.
bad organization is certain of death
and annihilation. How many organi-
cations that were not truly represen-.
tative have come and gone in New
York. Those things regulate them
selves just as certainly as the tide reg
ulates the rise and fall of the buoys
that mark the shoal places in our har-
bOrs.

ALTGELO PROMISED
A Seat on the Supreme Bench II Bryan
Is Elecred.

Is Elec'ed.
John p. Altgeld, who, as governor
of Illinois, made his record as an an
archist sympathizer, will be the first
man that Bryan, if president, will put
upon the United States supreme bench.
This statement comes right from the
inner circles of Mr.. Bryan's confiden-
tial friends. 1t is known and has been
talked about at Democratic national
headquarters"
The first publication OF this fact is
made by one of the oldest, best known
and most responsible Washington cor
respondents, Walter B. Stevens of the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. He wired
it from Chicago, where he was in
touch with the Democratic national
committee. Certainly this statement
will not be regarded as absurd by
those who know Governor Altgeld' 5
intellectual strength and the high re.
gard in which Mr.. Bryan holds him,
the opinion of the Democratic candi-
date for president being said to be
that "Altgeld is the best qualified man
in that party today for the highest
court in the country"
Would not Altgeld be an excellent
man, considering his antecedents and
his prominence in framing the Demo
cratic platform attacks upon our judi
cial system, to be placed where he
would have the supreme say as to the
conatitutionality of all of our laws,
no matter how delicate or important!

EDMUNDS' POINT.
Declares Our Title to the Philippines I.
Perfect.

Perfect.
Former Senator Edmunds has been
bright and shining light to the an
ti-imperialists. so-calleI, because of
his rank among the great constitu-
tional lawyers of the country. He
sadly disappointed them, however.
when he declared that the Philip
pines belong to the United tSates by
all the rules of international law" He
expressed his personal preference for
some other plan of dealing with the
problem than the administration
adopted. Nevertheless he believes
that We should retain an interest" in
the Philippines. and says:
''As for throwing them over, as the
Democratic platform purposes, | am
opposed to any such proposition. If
we should do that | firmly believe
that within at most three years the
Islands would be in possession Of
England, Germany or Spain, and [
should not like to see that. With
Cuba it would be different, for the
island is near to us, and in case of any
trouble we could easily assert our
selves"
That last sentence shows how clear
ly Judge Edmunds sees the distinc-
ton in treatmenS required in the cases
of Cuba and the Philippines.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1900-09-20

AS mere matter of detail, the great
underlying prlciple, the necessity for
organization, is not disturbed nor af-
fected by the coming or going of any
particular body, no mater what is its
name. Nor is the priciple of true pop
ular representation affected. On tle
contrary, the passing away of politi-
cal party merely proves this priciple,
for it is only when it ceases to be rep-
resentative that an organization dies.
And as for the leader, he can not live
an hour after he ceases to be truly rep
resentative, after he ceases to act for
the whole body of the people repre-
sented by the organization Such
power as he Yields is entirely depend
ent upon his representative qualities
If man is elected or appointed to an
advisory political Office, his tenure Is
absolute, his status is fixed. He can
not be disturbed, no matter what he
does, as long as he obeys the law and
performs the duties of his office But
the polical leader, or boss" if you
will holds by an intangible power. He
must represent his people or they put
him out at once Let him cease to be
acceptable to his organization and he
ceases to live politically. Gladstone
was a boss" Beaconsfield was
boss" AS they represented the de-
sires of their people they remained in
power. When they no longer repre-
sented public sentiment, they went out
of power. So it is with US here. Our
leaders amount to something just as
long as the represent the peoples wish
es. When they don't, the people kill
them off.
This being so, the political organiza-
ton and the political leader represent
in the most concentrated form the
great body of people. What would be-
come of our political freedom if we did
away with party organization? How
would we maintain our popular gov
ernment? What machinery could we
substitute for our present organiza-
ton? They are the foundation of our
entire system.
The thing for good citizens to do is
not to clamor against organizations,
but to become part of them. The
scheme is thoroughly equitable, and,
under our primary laws, the machin-
cry Of the organization may be con-
trolled absolutely by the people. Ev-
cry good citizen ought to be a politi-
clan. Without the politician, affairs
would soon develop into a woful con-
ditiOn. Chaos would result if all the
politicians would drop out all of sud
den. Nothing more serious could pos
sibly happen. Just imagine, if you
can, the result. The organization
starts the whole machinery of the
franchise. Blot out the organization
and there would be no primaries, no
no nominations, no cleo
tions. The Utopian condition dreamed
of when the people are to make their
and hold their elections
direct, without the organization, is
about as remote as anything we'll can
be.
