The opinion Is general however, that
for the purpose of the fall campaign

ton taken by the President Attorney

The remarkable feature Of the above
is the airy manner in which 1t de-
scribes the Presidential trick of de-
ceiying the people by the shallowest
artifices As the True American
pointed out recently President
Roosevelt has done nothing to sepa-
rate himself from the most virulent
Of the trusts and their election ipflu-
ences. He has INDUCED in some plati-
tudes, which have been tempered to
meet the claims Of the trusts; he even
went so far as to fool with the North
western railroad combine, until he
heard Pierpont Morgan growl, and
then dropped It: he has had Attorney
Keneral Knox to busy himself in find
ing out the strongest points Of the
trusts defense and has succeeded in
getting an issue before the courts, of
the determination Of which there are
the gravest doubts-and all the time
he has allowed the beef trust and the
coal trust to get in their work on
these necessaries of life. without a
word of protest.
The Rooseveltian affiliations in the
Senate are with trust representatives

nothing, II was expressly carrying out
the Rooseveltian program. His

THE UNIVERSAL HEART.

Since hoary-headed Time was young;
Since Art and Music found tongue;
Since the first rose, with dew i'm
pearled
This heart has throbbed through all
the world.
1t bleeds for freedom and for love
Dreams of beatitudes above
And yearns with everlasting pain
For those who never come again.
1t thrills TO genius and to worth.
Yet loves the lowliest thing on Earth
Is SCARED with sin, and rent by grief
And stripped of bloom like autumns
leaf.
Coeval with the rolling spheres,
1t holds the burden of the years.
And beats like pulses of the sea
This great heart of Humanity.
The Era

The sheriff proposes that those persons
who attend the hanging OF .he triple
murderer, shall pay S. toward the sup
port of Belongs 6-year-old boy. who will
be made an orphan on October 3ist.
The idea said Sheriff Story. is.
think, entirely original, and was suggests
ed by numerous requests for invitations to
the hanging. which I have already receiy.
cG. Belongs little boy, who is now being
cared for by the boys and girls of an aid

mother. who was shot by Bedding, and
will be lett an orphan dependent entirely
