McClure's magazine for October
contains a sensational article from the
pen of Lincoln Stetfens, regarding the
political affairs of our state, To say
that the article referred to give pre-
JUDGED view of the situation, is put
ting it mildly. The writer seems to
have written directly under the dlcta-
ton of Governor La Toilette, and does
great injustice to such national fig
ures as Postmaster General Pavne,
John g. Spooner and others. Steffens
makes charges that the Senatorship OF
Spooner was bought by Stephenson
and others, but he does not say word
how many thousand Stephenson has
spent for La Toilette, nor how much
was wasted by Stephenson in trying to
secure the Senatorship for himself.
The article is certainly misleading and
is Objectionable to those who are in
clined to be fair in reviewing the fac
tional fight in Wisconsin.

had wreaked it's will upon national
legislation and left heritage of dis
aster and Industrial misfortune to the
entire country that the people began
to consider the Importance of the con-
gressional elections. They realized
that while the process Of building up
prosperity under legislation was long
and slow, it was mighty easy to tear
down good times with bad legislation.
They were then experiencing a oe-

House of Representatives for the Fifty
fourth congress. We have had a Re
publican House ever since, and if the
good Lord is as merciful to us this
year as for the past ten years, we will
have another Republican House this
fall.
The questions at issue are the same
now as they have been in the past; it
is question of protection or free
trade; of perfecting the financial sys-
tenn or weakening it; of continuing the
good work in the Philippines or
''scuttling." There are numerous sub
sidiary issues, but these are principle
ones, and the people have spoken at
the polls on all of them. There is no
new or strange doctrine.
The whole question is one of good

Fights His Own Battles.

No bargaining with the trusts; no
understanding or arrangement about
campaign subscriptions"
This is the edict that has gone forth
at Republican national Headquarters,
and the ukase comes from no other
than President Roosevelt himself. 1t
is needless to say the injunction will
be obeyed. The matter came up 10
this way. Certain wealthy men of
New York, Republicans, and presum-
ably interested in the success of the
national ticket, were invited to sub
scribe as individuals to the campaign
fund. They chose to discuss the pro-
pOsal, not as individuals, but as repre-
sentatives Of industrial trusts in which
they are heavily interested. They
wanted to know what was to to be the
policy of the Roosevelt administration
toward their corporations, W hat were
they to expect? What could Chair
man Courtelyou and Treasurer Bliss
say to them in the way of assurancep
They were not disposed to be exacting
or unreasonable, but it was only nat
know.
When the matter was referred to
President Roosevelt, as it was during
the last few days, the answer came
promptly enough. There could be no
such assurances. There could not
even be a discussion of the question.
No understanding" could be arrived
at; no arrangement could be made.
This decision was not only rendered
promptly, but is was handed down in
vigorous and emphatic language-lan-
guage which | should like TO quote,
but cannot under pledge not to.
This is the second time Mr.. Roose-
welt has refused to decker with the
trust people. Last winter, before the
death of Senator Hanna, and when it
was thought by some people that there
was no doubt about the Presidents
nomination for a second term. GER
tain rich men of this city sent an en-
inent Republican to Washington to in
quire what assurances could be had of
the policy of the President toward the
trusts after March 4, Then, as now.
the response was quick and emphatic.
Moreover, on that occasion The facts
were obtained in some way by YOUR
correspondent, and publication of the
story Of the futile attempt to place
President Roosevelt Sin the LEADING
strings'' to "handle him. cseated quite
sensation.
1t was supposed generally that
would be the last effort Of the sort.
But no. Taking advantage of the
well-known fact that the Republican
campaign managers are hard up fer
cash, these trust operators thought it
possible to drive bargain. They
have failed again. Walter Wellman

The Democratic Handicap in Congress,

The Democratic Handicap in Congress.
There are about fifty congressional
districts now represented by Repub-
licans in congress that must be fought
for and won in this election, or the
present Republican majority in the
House of Representatives will disap-
pear and Democratic majority again
take control of that great body where
all revenue legislation must originate
under the power granted by the con-
stitution. The election Of a Demo-
cratic congress would mean the dom
nation of the Solid South and Tan
many. for the Democrats from the
Solid South and the Tanmany districts
of New York would control the Demo-
cratic majority,
Congressman John Sharp Williams,
Of Mississippi, would be speaker and
Mr., Williams, according to his own
biography in the congressional direct
Dry, represents 1,433 voters. That
was the total number of votes cast in
Mr.. Williams district in 1902. The
state of Mississippi elected eight Dem
ocratic members Of the house with a
total vote Of IL ,058, or less than one
half the number of votes in the dist
riot of Joseph G.. Cannon, the present
speaker of that body. The total vote
of Mr.. Cannon's district was 49,
SCI or N ore than twenty-seven times
as great as the vote of Mr. Williams.
According to the official vote Speaker
Cannon represents ten times as many
Democrats as does as does Mr. Will
ans, for there were Is, 254 Democratic
votes cast in his district two years ago,
or only 1900 less than the total vote
Of the sovereign state of Mississippi.
And yet the state of Mississippi has
eight votes in congress to the one cast
by Mr.. Cannon and those eight Missis-
sippi members will be in the next
house with only the form of an cleo
ton in that state where more than
one-half the mon of voting age have
been dis franchised.
The state of Louisiana has seven
members of congress representing &c.
265 voters or only two thirds the
number in Mr.. Cannon's district, and
the 10 Democratic members from
both Mississippi and Louisiana rep
resent combined vote of 1888, or
250 less than the total vote of Con-
gressman Grosvenor's district in Ohio.
The state of Arkansas has seven
Democratic members Of congress with
total vote of SO, GIG Or nearly 1000
less than the total vote of Congress-
man Hemenway district and nearly
10000 less than the total vote Of Con-
gresham Overstreet's district in the
same state. Messrs. Overstreet and
Hemenway represent 5000 more Yot-
ers in congress than do the % Demo-
cratic members from Arkansas, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana, and yet these
two Indiana Republicans can cast but
two votes on any great measure which
the three Southern states stand ready
to cast % votes against them.
We might make other comparisons,
such, for instance, as the districts Of

with a total vote of 81, 199, and that of

A Good Move.

'Rah for the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway. 1t has advanced,
at one leap, fifty years to the lead, by
putting on observation cars which
have compartments for women.
Ordinarily a woman is pretty much
of an intruder in an observation car
when she has the nerve to fight hel
way through the tobacco smoke and
timidly pick out seat which isn't
occupied by the feet of some imperial
male being.
There is no doubt about it, the most
effective answer to the man who claims
America to be pasadise for chivalry
would be to dress him up as woman
and make him spend two days in an
American railway coach. The custom
of providing 10 10 compartments fol
men to smoke in and x closets fol
women to dress in, three at time
is a regular airbrake on the progress
of civilization.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Pau
Railway ought to be given a medal

Not Appreeiated .

On Wednesday night of last week
the Ladies Monday Musical club gave
a concert at the Grand. The club was
assisted by. the Symphony orchestra
and the Young Peoples chorus be-
sides a number of gentlemen who
assisted in the concerted work.
The work by the club members was
exceptionally good. The instrumental
and vocal numbers were all fine. The
young people added great pleasure to
the evenings entertainment with
their Southern melodies, which were
given in costume. The Chorus num-
bers were the best heard in this city
for long time. The orchestra gave
three numbers which were we'll re-
ceived.
There is but one drawback in enter
tainments of this kinda lack of
patronage. There is vast amount
of work connected in the rehearsals
and getting ready to produce concert.
Everybody seems willing to help
and manifest great pleasure that a
concert is to be given, but usually
in counting up the receipts after the
performance their manifestations
don't materilize to the good of the
promoters, and after all the worry
and work there is not enough pro-
ceeds to pay for the trouble.
Sank Centre has some very fine
talent and it does seem that a little
more interest ought to be given to the
good work of the Ladies Musical club.
1t is this lack of interest that dis
heartens its members to do anything
in public, and eventually these
organizations cease to exist.
1t is only once a year that the club
give a concert. How many times
during the year are they called upon
to do charity work? Should they re-
fuse it would be something awful.
Yet when they give their yearly
concert it is not half appreciated.
