Gr,claI DeadheadIsm and the Law.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: read
your article on "Ofacal Deadhcadism In the
View of Federal Law, in this mornings issue.
with a great deal OF interest.
For some time have been looking for you
to touch mp this branch Of violation OF the
ALPHABETICALLY in view Of the numerous
declarations of the President that the law
governing interstate trafflc must and shall
he enforced and that giving Of rebates and
discrimination in favor OF corporations.
combines and individuals must and shall be
stopped or else these combines in restraint
of commerce shall be severely punished. If
not wiped off the face Of the earth.
The courts have been appealed to and In
functions issued forbidding any violation
of the Interstate law. and yet the President.
who poses as the great enforcer OF these
laws. and some OF the Judges issuing the
restraining orders, violate them knowingly
every time they ride on free transportation;
and that is, as a rule every time they travel
The last trip the President took through
the Central and Western States. the railroad
officials were requested by his itinerary agent
TO move his train and party frees and by
special schedule; and assume that the cars.
Pullman and private. were also ID. II.
All these faVorS were asked and granted
in direct violation Of the laws, and without
even an acknowledgment OF the favor.
On the contrary. these very railroad presi-
dents and officials representatives OF 40
called trusts and combines were held up
by the President in some OF his speeches on
this trip as the people who were throttlng
trade and commerce. whom 1t would be his
duty and pleasure to bring TO q full realza-
ton Of and respect for the law. &c. or all
those who entertained him on this trip, the
only ones he thought worthy OF public rec
ognition were the labor leaders and gitators
of the Western mining region.
] am glad the people are taking coGnizance
OF this particular violation Of the Interstate
law, at this time 1t is well to have the mat
ter ventilated and the attention OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission called to IL,
before the President and the immense body
of Government officials and political workers
and organizers start out on the work Of the
next Presidential campaign.
If railroad officials cannot make special
rates or grant favors for the purpose OF de-
v"lopng and encoura ginE legitimate trade
and commerce. without danger of fine and
punishment. why should they be forced 10
violate these same laws because the Pres-
dent wants TO do some cheap travelling for
campaign purposes?

that I've the Populists of Iowa, in con-
vention assembled, do hereby give our
unqualified Endorsement to that first great
declaration of principles promulgated by
our party. the Omaha platform, and to
each subsequent national platform" Upon
this platform complete ticket was nom
mated. headed by "Old Calamity WELLER
of Chickasaw county for Governor At the
election Old Calamity polled some 800 votes
in a total of nearly 100000.
Such was the achievement Of the Populist
party in Iowa two years ago, 1t was GER
family not Such as to encourage its mem
bers in the belief that they were seriously
regarded in the Hawkeye State. On Thurs
day, however again at Des Moines, "the
Populist party of Iowa" undaunted by its
defeat of two years ago, convened for the
nomination of State ticket. Delegates
TO the number Of eight assembled, and
again nominated, with a unanimity not
difficult to obtain in so small gathering,

Moreover, do we not know that one of the
principal reasons for sidetrackng the bill
for that session was the objection OF in

reported selection? We have always be-
lieved that ii was Senator Platt and his
friends who killed the bill for that session
because they believed the President was
to appoint Mr.. Littauer to the new port

that it was Senator Platt and his friends
who advised the President to appoint George
B. Cortelyou to the place in recognition of
what was then known rs the Mckinley
sentiment With the Presidents assur-
ances that he would appoint Mr.. Corteyou
and not Mr. Littauer, was not the bill passed
last winter, and was not Mr.. Cortelyou
appointed? Mr. Littauer and his friends
believe that Platt and Platt's friends
knocked Mr.. Littauer out Of this new place
In the Cabinet, and we don't owe Mr.. Platt
anything thank you. Let Mr.. Littauer
fight Mr. Platt to the bitter end for all we
care, but there won't be any open rupture
between the Governor and Mr.. Littauer."

of Nebraska fusionists:
III the moucybags OF the East control the
Democratic convention and nominate man like

regret every vote I ever cast for MIR BRYAN"
Mr.. BRYAN's aversion to Eastern
moneybags needs no stimulation. There

looks with kinder eye, Tonight, for
instance, he is going to make speech
in laudation of great Western money
bags" and monopolist. the Hon. TOM

to afford political campaigns on his own

falls on his neck
Mr. BRYAN has no objection to money
bags, if some of their contents are con-
tributed to his side of the game.

MIR. LITTAUERS LETTER.


Republican friends OF Representative
Lucius N. Littauer of the Twenty-second
Congress district acknowledge with some-
thing like chagrin that he wrote the letter
TO President Roosevelt admonishing the
President not to trust Governor Odell or
Senator Platt They protest, though, in
extenuation. that Mr.. Littauer wrote the
letter at a time when he was greatly an
noyed, worried. and even exasperated
by the failure Of the Governor TO say
kind word for him to the President over
the developments of the glove and gaunt-
let contract scandal. 1t is true that the
Governor at the time was in the Far West,
but the newspapers of the United States
supporters Of the Administration and other
wise, were printing columns OF the scandal,
and Mr.. Littauer, to use his own words,
"was daily losing flesh" over the exposures.
In view Of the intimate relations that have
existed for nearly ten years between the
Governor and Mr. Littauer, Mr.. Lttauer's
friends insist that he had right to expect
that the Governor would either telegraph
or write few words to the President in
Mr. Littauers behalf 1t is further in
sisted that Mr.. Littauer's relations to the
President as well as to the Governor en-
titled him to consideration in these cata-
clysmal days. Had not Mr. Lttauer
accepted the contract without bonds) to
keep the Governor informed OF all the
President said in Washington concerning
New York State Republican politics, and
also had not Mr.. Littauer accepteda similar
contract to keep the President informed
Of ba WV Of ha nj
and in New York city concerning the
Presidents administration and the Presi-
dents chances for next Year,
when Mr.. Littauer advised the Presi-
dent not to trust Odell,' continued Mr..
Littauer's friends, did not Mr. Littauer
tell the truth? Have the utterances of
Gov. Odell in Albany and New York city
within the last year and half not given
warrant TO Mr. Littauer for his advice to
the PRESIDENT"
will the Governor resent or take offence
at Mr.. Littauer's letter to the President"
.No," replied Mr. Littauer's friends.
"Why not?'
when the smash in Wall Street was at
its worst In July and early in August, the
Governor was far from the scene, while
Mr.. Littauer was Johnny on the spot
He stood by as the sailormen say; but
when 0dell returned to New York the Gov
ernor contributed an interview to a New
York city newspaper"
The interview was hunted up. 1t began
this way:

American Shoes in Cuba.

The footwear of the great mass of the
Cuban people is either the alpargata, a
rope-soled, canvas-topped affair i'm

wearing them, it is probable that these
will continue for many years to be the
popular footwear of large number of
the Cuban people The sapateros. or
shocmakers, are found in many localities
engaged in producing. by hand, the shoes
for the local market.
