UNDER CORPORATE DONNA
TION.

A few weeks ago the Turning
ton Progress had something to say
of Ii. ID. Evans, the new chairman
of the County Republican Commit
tee, member ut Large of the State
Republican Committee and of the
Executive Committee thereof, be,
ing politically subscrvicut to the
corporations. |. l.. Page of the
Bonnie Tcrrc Star took the Prog
ress to task and rushed hcadlOng
to the defense of Mr.. Evans. Now
the Progress was right, for Mr.
Evans would never have been hon.
ored with his multiplicity of party
Offices if he had not been n political
subscrver of the corporations. This
is easily susceptible of proof, for is
it not true that a crew of corpora
ton heelers, sent to Pennington in
Il special err by the st, Joseph
Lead Company, dominated the
mass meeting that sent TO the State
Republican convention Mr.. Evans
and the delegation which put him
on the State Committee? Corpor-
atoms never act blindly where their
interests, political and otherwise,
are concerned, and if they had not
known their man and that they
could trust him, Mr.. Evans would
not now be boss of the st. Fran
co.'s county Republican organlza-
ton. 1t is q we'll known fact that
the corporations dominate the Re-
publican party organization in this
county, and it is also true that
corporations in politics are more
responsible than any other cause
for the corruption and boodling in
legislative bodies and municipal as
semblies throughout the whole
country.

DID HE SAY IT.

Judge John A. Sprott says he
has been misrepresented and mis-
quoted in the remark attributed tC
him, that he didn't owe the Dem
ocratic party anything" THF
TIMES never Intentionally misrep-
resents anyone. We were told by
a reliable Democrat that Judge
Sprott had made that remark. He
did not say that he got it second
hand, and we supposed that he
had heard Judge Sprott make the
remark. We were subsequently
informed by Mr.. Chas. R. Pratt,
editor of the Lead Belt News, that
Judge Sprott had made the same
remark to him. 1t now appears
that our informant received his in :
formation from Mr.. Pratt.
Mr.. Pratt has backed up his asser-
ton, that Judge Sprott told him he
didn't owe the Democratic party
anything" by a public announce
ment of the fact in his paper.
Judge Sprott denies that he made
any such remark, that what he did
say to Mr.. Pratt was, that he

This newspaper was not reckoned
among the ardent admirers of District
Attorney Asa BIRD Gardiner. We de-
plored and censured his indlscretions,
personal and official, and at any mo-
ment during his term of Office we
should have acclaimed a successor to
him appointed in conformity with the
provisions of law. Yet when Governor
Roosevelt removed MIR. Gardiner we
were compelled to declare that the ac-
ton he had taken was wanton, law
less and dangerous usurpauon OF
power. The Commissioner appointed
by Governor Roosevelt to hear the
charges against Colonel Gardiner had
reported that they we're not proved,
and that no action should be taken.
Subsequently, without further hearing
and, as this community pretty general
ly believed, without proper cause, the
Governor removed the District Attor-
ney and appointed Mr. Philbin in his
place.

not display a lack of appreciation

therefore he doesn't owe them any

citizen or an ordinary business man
he may be right; but Judge Sprott
has thrice been candidate on the
Democratic ticket in this county,
and as such has received the volun-
tary support OF every Democratic
paper in the county. The public
officer who says he doesn't owe the
papers anything that helped him to
secure office, is equally as ungra,

doesn't owe the voters of his party

WATSON'S WORK.
REPUBLICAN MONEY BACK or

Though Thomas Il. Watson in his
speech accepting the POpulist nominal
tion for President at Cooper Union.

are hurrying this Republic into sor-
did despotism of wealth" the full
speech is being sent broadcast rs Re-

The New York World states that
the Republicans are hoping by this
means to estrangc "thc voters of the
Bryan Democrats from the National
Democratic ticket"
"a Populist campaign in this state"
continues the World, "iG to be made
with a plentiful supply of funds, and
state organization. it is said, 1t Is
openly intimatcd that there are not a
few Republicans who would subscribe
literally to the Populist cause, for the
purpose Of DETECTING Bry an votes from
Parker"
In this connection It is announced
that Thomas +. Watson is to deliver
forty speeches in doubtful states, and
strangely enough, at the precise points
where they might be expected to do
most harm to the Democratic ticket,
Mr.. Watson has been in frequent con
,ultation with number of men hero
about his plans. Some Of these men
were formerly closely identified with

Created.

Both Russia and Germany display
two-headed eagles on their standards,
says the Cornhlll Magazine Yet this
symbol is considered by some heralds
TO be merely the result OF the heraldic
practice Of "dimidiation." This was
simply child's way Of impaling two
coat-of-arms on the same shield by the
primitive method of cutting each in
half an dtaking the dexter half Of one
and the sinister half OF the other and
placing them back to back as 1t were,

suited. as, for instance, when a lion and

OF loss is continued fol the next ten
months the deficit viii amount to

may not amount to more than half
that sum- but whatever it proves to
be shows the wasteful extravaganza
of the present administration.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1904. the Roosevelt administration cx-
pended sl77 100000 more than the last
year OF the Democratic administration
and this was only counting the
amounts in three appropriation bills
out OF seven. namely, the Army Navy
and Civil and Miscellaneous. That
