One reason why there is so much
feeling against the rich is the fact
that those who have wealth too often
disregard the rights of the people in
the pursuit of their pleasures or in
accomplishing their purposes. An in
stance in point is that of the automo-
bile races to-day in Nassau county, N.
Y, for the cup offered by William K.
Vanderbilt. Jr.
The course is a distance of about
thirty miles over the county roads,
and runs around several villages. The
Automobiles obtained from the super
visors of the county permission to use
the roads that comprise the course.
The roads are to be closed to the gen
eral public from ) p. IN. until 3 p. m.
The permission was granted to the au-
tomobilists without consulting with the
people interested in the matter, the
only consideration being that the roads
should be sprinkled with crude petro-
leum.
A few days ago 200 truckmen filed
protest with the supervisors against
turning the roads over to the automo-
bilists during the large part of a day.
They said their business would be
greatly interfered with. Besides, they
pointed out that there We're compare
lively few of the automobilists and
that about all Of them were non-resi-
dents. They suggested as the auto
mobilists were all millionaires, they
should buy land somewhere and build
themselves a track for racing purposes.
The hearing of the protest took place
last Tuesday. 1t turned out that the
supervisors were in entire sympathy
with the Automobiles. 1t is true, of
course, that the automobilists had Sc
cured a few people of the county, by
one means and another. to come for
ward and testify that the county would
be benefited by the races, that buyers
of real estate would be attracted to
that section and that the people would
enjoy the sport. Nevertheless, the fact
remained that the great majority of
the substantial people of the county,
particularly the farmers that were US
ing the roads every hour in the day,
were against permitting the roads to
be closed for any such purpose.
Their protest was brushed aside and
the millionaire non-residents had their
way. Would it be surprising if a feel
ing of bitterness should grow up in
the hearts of the farmers and villagers
of Nassau county against those who
possess great wealth, and that they
should seek to elect men to their Legis-
lature and to Congress who would
make laws oppressive to those who
have wealth? There is no excuse
whatever for the action of the Nassau
county supervisors. Why should the
people of nearly an entire county have
their affairs brought to a standstill, as
1t were, for a day, in order that a
few nonresident millionaires should
have an opportunity to race their au-
tomobiles? 1t is this disregard of the
rights of the plain people by the pos
SCISSORS of wealth that widens the gap
between the rich and the poor, and
brings into existence organizations
whose object is to make war on wealth.

Andrew Carnegie has a fund of stor-
les about his canny countrymen. and he
delights to tell them to a congenial
company now and then, says the New
York Times. This is one he brought
home with him after his last trip
abroad:
"Of course, we will call the hero
Sandy" said Mr.. Carnegie. There
couldn't be a Scotch story without a
Sandy. Well, Sandy was asked by
some friends to step up to the bar and
have drink. He poured out for
himself liberal dose of the national
beverage, and then, placing his hands
around the glass, drained it to the
last drop before the others had even
a chance to pour out their drinks.
" Why, Sandy, said the fellow who
had invited him, you didn't need to
be in such a rush. What was your
hurry?'
.Aeh, mon.' said Sandy, still smack
ing his lips, I saw wan o them things

THE PRESIDENTS POOR MEMORY

The President, it seems, is so anx-
ious to go on the stump and reply to
Judge Parkers letter of acceptance
that it is almost impossible for the
leaders of his party to restrain him.
They know he would say things that
would hurt his cause; in other words,
they have no confidence in his judg-
ment or discretion.
1t is different in the case of Judge
Parker. The leaders of his party have
been urging him for weeks to take
the stump in his own behalf. They
know that he would say what would
be of the greatest benefit to him. They
have no fear that he would say any,
thing that would damage his cause.
What a difference between the two
men. as viewed from the standpoint of
their respective party managers!
And the Roosevelt leaders have cause
to keep their candidate off the stump.
He would he kept explaining all the
deeper he would get in the mire of
contradictions. For instance, in his
letter of acceptance. he said: Never
has the administration of the govern
ment been on a cleaner or higher level.
Never has the public work of the ns-
ton been done more honestly or eff
GENTLY" If we look at his message to
Congress in December, 1908, we find
the following: while there may have
been as much official corruption in for
mer years, there has been more de-
veloped and brought to light in the i'm
mediate past than in the preceding
century"
No doubt Mr.. Roosevelt thought
what he said in his message was a
good thing to say at that time, and
doubtless it was true of Republican
rule, but. that being the case. how
could he consistently publish the fore
going extract from his letter Of accept
ance? Did he think that what he said
in his message a year and a half be-
fore would be forgotten. or did he for
get what he had sent to Congress in
December. 1903?

Gen. Booths automobile cam
paign" from Lands End, England, to
Aberdeen, Scotland, took him over l.
500 miles of road. Everywhere he
was received with enthusiasm.
William H. Newman, who started
in business life as a ticket agent on
the Texas and Pacific Railroad will
this month become the head of the
greatest railway system the world has
ever known, the Vanderbilt lines.
August Lutteken. who has been
running a humble fish and oyster bus
mess in East st. Louis. has received
word from a firm of reputable English
lawyers that a Liverpool sea captain,
recently deceased, has left him $685.
900. Eighteen years ago. while round
ing Cape Horn in the British mer-
chairman Westgate, he saved Capt.
Watkins from being swept overheard
in fierce storm. The captain died,
and left the sum named to the man
who preserved his life long years ago.
Probably a world record In the
matter of the performance of mar
riage ceremonies was made a few days
ago by Rev. c. G. Meador, retired
pastor of the Central Baptist Church
in Washington. 1t was the most re-
markable experience of the pastor in
his fifty or more years in the minis
try. The record established is the
marriage of two couples in one day
by the same officiating minister and
resulting in no change in the names
of the brides. The first Of the cou-
pies was Robert F. Lee and Annie
Lee. both of Fredericksburg, Va.
James c. Gordon and Violet c. Gordon,
both of Washington, were the second
couple.

CONTIGUOUS REWARD.

Mr.. Cortelyou, the Republican cam
paign manager, is going to be reward
ed for his campaign work whether the
Republicans win the election or not.
1t is stated in the Washington dis
patches that the President will ap-
point him Postmaster General, and he
will take his place in the Presidents
cabinet about Dec. 1.
Mr.. Cortelyous rise from the posi-
ton of a stenographer in one of the
departments in the short period of
about ten years is remarkable. 1t is
probable, however. that he deserves
the promotion or he wouldn't receive
it.
His appointment as Postmaster Cen
eral will not be his first appearance
in Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet. He was
the Secretary of Commerce and La
Dor. He resigned that place to man
age Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign.
There are those who pretend to be-
lieve that he was put at the head of
that new department of the govern
ment in order that he might prepare
himself for the position he is now fill
ing, but perhaps, any suggestion of
that kind is groundless and unjust to
him. Nevertheless, it must be admit
ted that what he learned as the head
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor must be of the greatest bene-
fit to him as the Republican campaign
manager. He became acquainted with
the affairs of all of the trusts and
great combinations of capital. He
doubtless knows all their weak points
and could name the instances, If any,
in which they have violated the anti
trust law.
And how is this information Of adj
vantage to him? One of his duties
is to collect campaign funds. OF
course. he wouldn't use the informa-
ton that came to him as Secretary of
Commerce and Labor to squeeze dol
lars out of trusts and capitalists, but
trusts and capitalists would respond
more promptly to a request for cam
paign contributions, made by a man
having the most exclusive kind of in
formation about their business affairs,
than TO a request that came from
one who was a stranger to such az
fairs.
Mr.. Cortelyou, therefore. has de-
cided advantage over Mr.. Taggart as
a collector of campaign funds. From
all accounts the Republicans have all
the money for campaign purposes they
need, while the treasure chest of the
Democrats is practically empty. Only
this week as many as fifty OF the
employees at the Democratic headquar-
ters were discharged, for the reason
probably that there was no money with
which to compensate them for their
services.
The contest between Judge Parker
and Mr.. Roosevelt is a very unequal
one. Besides the advantage to which
we have called attention Mr..
Roosevelt has the trusts, the
industrial interests, and. in fact,
all of the combinations OF capt.
tai at~his back. If he should be de-
feated, therefore, It would be because
Of the fear the people have that he
is a dangerous man to have in the
White House.

Mr.. RAYMOND Patterson. OF the
Chicago Tribune staff. has been look
ing over the political field in New
York After going carefully over the
situation he has written his paper that
1t Is "a toss-up whether Roosevelt or
Parker carries New York state, but
the chances favor the Democratic can
didate for Governor. Conditions are a
good deal mixed in this state, but the
drift is towards the Democrats" This
becomes the more significant when II IL
remembered that the Tribune is a Re.
publican paper and would naturally
like TO show conditions in their best
possible light for its party.

Bourke Cochran made an epigram
the other day that is so true and
pointed that it deserves to become a
classic. Democracy is a faith; Re-
publicanism is an appetite" he said.
Men are Democrats from principle, or
Republicans because they want some
thing. Democrats support their party
because they believe the partys poll
cies are best for the people. Republi-
cans support their party because they
hope or expect to make money out of
it. The Democrats idea is patriotism;
the Republicans is pelf.

Is there nothing in heredity. after
all? One would naturally suppose that
a son of Thomas A. Edison would be
born with a knowledge Of batteries,
ohms and volts. and that before
pinafores were outgrown he would be
constructing new and useful cleo
trical appliances worthy of the most
distinguished consideration of the pat
ent office. Yet we have the testimony
OF Mr.. Edison himself to the alleged
fact that son OF his is incapable
OF making any invention or discovery
OF merit" and that the young man
has never shown any ability as an in

the theory OF heredity a black eye.
