of original poems were read, one by
Pres. w. G. Evans, by Mr. j. B. Askins
and others, while Mr.. Lucius Peter

no other effective way to punish the
bosses. Defeating the party ticket to
punish the bosses is like burning down

ant. The people will endure bossism
rather than punish themselves to get
rid of It. The bosses are disposed to
take advantage of the reluctance to
apply the rod, and our country stands
in danger of going into the hands of
the worst class of American public
men. The corrupted delegate primary
drives more and more voters to stay
away from the polls.
Power Of Rossism Increasing.
Examination Of the laws regulating
, primaries in several states that have
I attempted legislation reveals the fact
that the few laws enacted for that
purpose so far have been drawn up
more to protect the managers of polit.
ical machines than TO protect the peo.
pie.
In several states the laws are delib.
! erately drawn to absolutely deprive
the citizen Of all power of choice. He
has as little control over the making
of the ticket he is expected to vote,
as he has over the tides OF the sea
With a constantly increasing number
of elective offices, the power of boss.
ism under corrupt delegate primaries
is rapidly multiplying.
Lockwood Law a Farce.
A growing public sentiment against
machine politics in general, and die.
tation to the party and the people by
the ofiice.looting classes in particu-
lar, has compelled the enactment of
some laws for the regulation Of the
primaries
But any political boss is sharp
enough TO see that reform at the
primaries, that would take away from
him the power to slate delegates and
make up a ticket that will do his bid
ding, would retire him to private life
So he hedges and himself secures his
calling by the adoption of law like
the Lockwood bill in Oregon, that II
apparently constructed to purify the
primary and abolish machine politics
but in reality It blinds the honest in
tentioned citizen with a mask of lega
formality behind which bosslsm car
ries on It's work of corruption in great
er security.

Carroll county Democrats are en-
thusiastic over the prospect of being
able to defeat Pollock for state senator
and they are looking forward to the
coming of Tom Johnson in his auto
noble. The Carroll Chronicle has the
following with reference to the Can
ton convention that nominated De-
weese:
"A number of Carroll county DEM
ocrats had interviews with Mayor
Tom l.. Johnson at Cantont 1t is
true, he said, that l am going into
Carroll county to make a campaign
against Mr.. Pollock. l will speak

me your nominee for state senator,

"Mr. Johnson was assured that the

fully as conscientious and sincere
as they were in Cleveland and had
on several occasions SO voted, and
would no doubt gladly hear him."

New York, Aug. 10. - Policemen in
uniform last Saturday cinvaded the
Schermerhorn building, Wall street,
and made a raid on the banking
corporation of Daniels G Co., taking
seven prisoners and seizing many ac-
count books and letters which throw
light upon, the operations of the con-
cern.
The raid caused flutter Of excite
ment in the financial district as a pa
troll wagon had been backed up to
the Wall street doors and several pref
ty girls who had been employed in the
office upstairs stood about weeping
while their effects were being removed.
Thomas P. Daniels has been in, ac-
tive charge of the corporation to
which he has given his name. He
was not only president, but whenever
complaints were made, it was said he
alone had power to arrange settle
ments.
Daniels record, the police say, was
not such as would commend him to in
vestors. He made failure in Dayton,
Ooio, and left many debts behind him
there. Subsequently he came to New
York and for fifteen months was man.
ager for Henry Brandenburg & Co.,
in the Schermerhorn building. During
the greater portion of that time Mr..
Brandenburg was away. Upon his re-
turn according to statement that he
made he was compelled to dismiss
Daniels, whose methods were objected
to by the firms customers.
Complaints have been made to the
police and to the postoffice authorities
from time to time, but there appeared
to be nothing upon which action could
be taken until Edwin e. Collins, OF
Cedar Rapids, Iowa came to New York
to investigate for himself.

Senator Tillman of South Carolina
has declared that unless the fifteenth
amendment is repealed there will be
race war in the south. He made the
statement to delegation of Boston

greeted with applause by the blue
stockings from New England, the
birthplace of anti-slavery agitation.

The indications are that the cam
paign this fall in Stark county will be
a warm one. Hundreds of Republi-
cans will quietly go after Pollock's
scalp, while the Republican politicians
will set up the plea that it is Mark
Hanna and not Pollock that is being
voted for. The people are getting
tired of being whipped into line by
such subterfuges. The memory of the
curative act, the repeal of the electric
light law, and excessive telephone
bills saddled upon the state, will not
be effaced until good Democrat is
elected to take a seat in the upper
house at Columbus.

Stralaht::From the Shoulder.

President Roosevelt has dealt labor
unions serious blow by the reinstate-
men of VIM. A. Miller as assistant
foreman Of the Government printing
Office. Miller was expelled from the
labor organization of which he was a
member, and the Government Printer
promptly discharged him. Then Roose-
welt reinstated him. This action from
a professed friend Of organized labor is
very peculiar to say the least, and If 1t
had been committed by o. Democratic
president the howl that would have
gone up from labor unions all over tho
land would have shook the atmosphere.
But Republican President did it, and
labor unions are as meek as lambs
