Some Republican Financiering.

A subscriber asks the COn,naoner to
explain the "City National Bank deal"
so often mentioned of late in connec-
tion with Secretary Cages retirement
from the cabinet. The story is short
one, but extremely interesting, and
serves TO show the hold that the great
financial institutions have upon the
Republican party. A few years ago
the government sold the New York
customs house property to the City
National Bank of that city for 50, $685.
900, Secretary Gage, by virtue of his
position, having charge OF the trans
action. No money changed hands.
The bank merely handed the repre-
sentatives of the treasury department
a certificate OF deposit for 81, 900.
The bank retained the money aud
loaned it out at the usual rate OF in
terest. The certificate Of deposit be-
ing made out for $50, 900 less than the
purchase price. the government re-
tanned the title to the property. But
the bank took possession. AS the

The Great Moral Issue.

The treaty transferring the Danish
West Indies to the United States for
$4,000,OO0 has been signed and re-
quires only confirmation by the Senate
and the consent of the Danish Parla-
ment to complete the transaction.
There are three islands, St. Thomas,
ST. John and St. Croix, all containing
less than $4,000 people. St. Thomas
has fine harbor which will serve ad-
mirably 80 coaling station for the
navy. Except as naval stations these
islands are OF little value.
But the requirement of these islands
is one more step on the expansion
pathway. We have taken another
people by purchase and without their
consent.
How shall we take care of our re-
sponsibiities to these new peoples
who have come under our fagp That
is the great issue-the great moral
issue-before the American people.
Shall we give them the full benefits
OF the rights and liberties enjoyed by
the American people, holding out to
them the hand of fellowship and the
hope of citizenship or of independence
Shall we treat them as subjects to be
preyed upon and appraised at will?
Shall justice and enlightenment, or
greed and despotsm rule our con-
ductp
The practical answer to this ques-
ton is in the government of the pos
sessions and in the legislation con-
corning them; it involves their future
welfare and more; it involves the well
fare of the American people.
We must hold to the principles of
liberty and justice for all, or all lose
them.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Col. Organs Say.

ln the Crawford County Democrat
of recent date appeared a column and
a half editorial, supposed to have been
written or dictated by Frank Farris,
from which we clip the following:
We have noticed in the recent issues
of the Salem Monitor that Col. Organ,
the editor of that paper, who is a can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for State Senator, has again, as he did
three years ago, opened up its columns
of that paper to fill it with his articles
OF abuse and villitication of Senator
Frank II. Farris; who is a candidate
for denomination in opposition to Col.
Organ.
The Monitor is not abusing Farris.
1t has not published line or word
of villfication of Senator Farris. 1t
has printed only small part OF his
official record. His record is against
him. He was the plant tool of the
corporation lobby at Jefferson City.
He voted and worked against House
bill 224, which provided for reduc-
tion of freight rates on all railroads in
this State about IS per cent He made
the motion in the Senate which in
definitely postponed consideration Of
that bill in the Senate at the last ses-
sion. The motion made by Senator
Farris, and the names of the 16 lobby
Senators who voted for that motion,
can be found on page 703 of the SEN
ate Journal of 1901. OF the 16 lobby
Senators who voted for the Farris mo-
tion to kill that bill were Democrats
and were Republicans. The IA SEN
ators who voted against that motion
and in favor of the bill were all Demo-
Gratis.
Senator Farris also opposed and
helped to defeat constitutional amend
ment providing for the Initiative and
Referendum, or Direct Legislation by
the people. Direct Legislation was in
dorsed by the National Democratic
Convention at Kansas City, July 4th,
1900, and was made part of the Demo
cratic platform then and there adopted.
| If that amendment had been submitted
to, and adopted by, the people it would
have enabled the people to force freight
reduction legislation ia spite of lobby
controlled senate.
Is Senator Farris afraid to trust the
people to vote on that, or any other
question in their own interest? 1t
seems so.
Why doesn't Senator Earris explain
his record? He may possibly be able
to convince his constituents that be
voted in their interest on all questions
coming before the Senate. His friends
cannot cover his sins of omission and
commission by calling them "mis-
takes He knew at all times and on
all questions what he was doing. The
esteemed Crawford County Democrat
should ask him TO explain. .-Salenl

government held the title the bank
escaped city, county and state taxes.
And the government not being ready
to vacate the premises, rented them
from the bank, paying rental of
$130,000 year. Now note the facts
carefully: The bank, by not holding
the title, escapes paying $4,000
year in taxes. By giving certificate

The Old Home Paper.

Letters from home are very welcome,
but one doesn't get as much news IN a
hundred letters as he does in one issue
of the home paper And letters are
so uncertain. You sometimes have to
wait six months for a reply TO your
last one. But if you are subscriber
to the old home paper it comes to you
regularly every week, rain or shine.
You may be little in arrears, but the
e1itor sends the paper along with the
hope that some day you will settle up
matters. TO the man who can not
visit home every year or two, the
perusal OF his home paper is always as
good as trip to boyhood scenes. He
reads where the freckle-faced girl, who
sat behind him at school, was married
to a city chap who holds lucrative
position with street car company,
probably a motorman; he is informed
that the boy who was known as the
bully of the school was arrested for
wife -desertiou and is incarcerated in
the county bastile; he learns from his
county paper that the girl he gave all
his apples to at school is the mother of
a fine bouncing baby boy, and tears
come to his eyes when he reads the
death OF good old mother Brown,
friend and adviser in those days OF
long ago. Yes, the home paper does
more for him than some friends Ed.
