.LETFERSFR THEPEoPLE
Nominate Candidate Who Can Win With
FFeEcsl for Vice President.
To the Editor of The Globe.

To the Editor of The Globe
AS a radical national Democrat Hearst
stands nearer to my political opinion than
Parker. But the question in this election
is not to nominate candidate who is
more or less a radical but to nominate
candidate who is able to get the vote Of
the national majority and and break the
money-serying, imperialistic tendencies Of
the so-called Republican government, and
that Is Parker. But we should not ape
the Republicans who show their imperial
lSt1c tendencies and bind their delegates
beforehand to one man. That is entirely
against the Democratic principle. We may
trust cur delegates to act wisely without
halter. Such a proceeding breeds dis
harmony, as the bitter fight of the Re-
publican factions in Illinois and Wisconsin
proves. We should take advantage of
this diSharmony and nominate candidate
for vice president who is able to carry
one or the other of these states back to
the Democrats. Before the Democratic
factions in Illinois got into that same fool
1sh fight as the Republicans over there
some Chicago. Democrat proposed Mar
shall Field as vice presidential candidate
on the Democratic ticket. And l believe
that Field, with the large business con-
nections which he has over the North
west would draw so many votes to the
Democratic party that Illinois and Wis
conS1n would turn that way. He would be
a man to beat any running mate Roose-
welt tries to pick UP in Illinois.

ONE MANS TRAGEDY.

Ten years ago w. A. Paulsen, of Chi
cago, a banker, rich and respected
married young and beautiful woman
The other day the wife sued for sep
aration, declaring in her bill that her
husband has not smiled for years
Paulsen says, "She complains Justly
that she has not seen me smile for
many years. 1 could not simulate hap
piness with the penitentiary staring
me in the face" There is infinite pa
thos in the admission and lesson in
the story of Paulsen, the man who does
not smile.
He wrecked a bank. Not satisfied
with extraordinary facilities for adding
to his riches. Paulson violated the law
and wrecked the bank of which he was
the head. incidentally he ruined hun
dreds of people. He was found guilty
on a technical charge, the trial judge
declaring, however, that there was no
evidence of moral turpItude He was
never known to smile from the day he
was sentenced, though he was released
on parole and has constantly striven to
secure a pardon. He has kept his I'M
smiling face turned to the world and
fought for some sort of rehabilitation
in the eyes of his neighbors, and all in
vain. Now comes the wreck of his
own family as the elimination of the
woes he brought on himself and in
Vulnerable others by his overreaching
avarice.
The awful doom to which this man
consigned himself by the criminal act
that was his undoing might never have
been fully appreciated by the world
but for the simple statement "he has
not smiled for years" He says it would
have been better If he had killed him
self when the shame first came upon
him. But he did not He went on
watching mems -averted faces with
never smile on his face or in his
heart. The prison and obscurfty might

A TRIFLE BETWEEN FRIENDS.

1t was Democrat and a Tammany
man, we believe who gave birth to
that immortal saying, What is little
matter like the constitution between
friends?" We refer to it, now, a Re
publican and standpatter. President
Roosevelt is reported to be disturbed
in his plan of making Secretary Cor
telyou chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee by provision of the
law. He does not wish Secretary
Cortelyou to lose his job permanently,
and the secretary is very much of the
same opinion himself. The scheme
was to relieve him of his cabinet du-
ties, to appoint subordinate tempo
rarily to his place and then to return
Mr.. Cortelyou to his comfortable seat
as soon as the campaign is over, pro-
vided Mr.. Roosevelt is reelected.
The objection to this is the discov-
cry that law exists prohibiting the
president from designating a tempo
rary head of an executive department
for more than thirty days We cannot
understand how President Roosevelt
finds the slightest obstacle to his
wishes in this prohibition No law has
ever yet sufficed to curb his desires or
to bind his action Neither the law
of nations nor the law of the land has
been sacred in his sight. He stole the
territory of a friendly power. By a
stroke of the pen he added tens of
millions to our annual expense bill,
and added it for campaign purposes,
without the sanction of congress or
any other legislative warrant. Why
should such man Yaver because no
law supports his desire to advance a
favorite?
Has he not done the same thing al
ready underreven less pardonabIe cir
cumstances? Did he not keep. on APP
pointing Gen. Wood time after time
until he damned the nomination
through the senate? Did he not as
sumo, in defiance of both law and fact,
| that there was recess between the
time when the speakers gavel fell to
adjourn congress and when it fell to
call it again to order, although the two
acts were really simultaneous? Did
he not insult precedent and violate
the spirit Of the law to oblige the SEN
| ate to confirm his pet, under penalty
| of keeping from their rightful honors
a long list of gallant officers who had
really served their country well? How
a man who has done these things not
only deliberately, but persistently and
delightedly, can find any difficulty in
the little problem about Secretary Cor
telyou we cannot imagine.
We fancy the trouble is in the mind
Of the correspondent, rather than that
Of the president. He would show
all his teeth in derision were any one
to suggest to him that the law stands
in the way Of any of his desires, and
more particularly that it could prevent
him from using power and place to re-
ward his friends and incidentally to
benefit himself.

OBSERVE MEMORIAL DAY

The arrangements made for the pub
lie observance of Memorial Day in st.
Paul are quite in keeping with the
traditions of the Republic. There will
be little of the pomp of woe in the
demonstration. The Christening touch
of time has smoothed away the
bitter memories that were once reviv-
ed by the recurring anniversary and it
is fitting that simple but, impressive
ceremonial should mark the expression
of griefs that are hallowed.
There will be a general cessation
of business in the city and opportunity
will not be wanting for those who de-
sire to lend their presence to the exer-
cises. While the tenderer interest of

EASY FRAUD.

EA0r nHO0s
There may be some hope of a real
cure Of gullibility by the fleeing Of
the gullible when the farmer turns
confidence man because even he finds
the bunco game so easy. A New York
farmer living off in the country heard
some reports of the ease with which
swindlers had used the mails to boom
fake concerns, and of the big volume
of cash with which they were OVER
whelmed. He thought he might as
well try it himself He got a list Of
addresses for cash and then simply Of
fered to the addresses stock that
would give them profit of SO per cent
1t did not make any difference
whether there We're any such stocks
On the list or not, and Of course if
there were he did not own them. All
that was necessary was to send out
the proposition. He found himself in
stantly besieged by answers to his ad-
vertisements, and only the interview
ton of the authorities checked the flow
of his prosperity. Probably after a
short term of confinement he will
emerge with fixed ideas of how to get
rich quick and a better conception OF
how to evade the law.
On the same day big pool room at
Hot Springs, Ark, suspended business.
Shortly before, the wires by which it's
reports were received were tempered
with and false announcements Of the
results of races were sent in. 1t set
tied with its customers on the basis of
the news received. They took the
cash and vanished. A little later,
when correct reports came, it had
to settle with the other side, and it's
losses are estimated at some $15, 1000.
It's managers declare that they cannot
take any more such chances. They
are never secure against repetition
of the swindle, and even the immense
profits in the business will not meet
the risk
The infinite resources Of the swim
der are here displayed, and the in
finite heiplessness of his victims. Even
the swindler is himself readily swim
died. AS for the public at large, it is
simply a subterranean reservoir wait
ing to be tapped in order that it may
gush with wealth for the first plausi-
bic conner. We doubt If there is any
cure for this inveterate notion that
dollars, like berries, are to be had for
the picking but to let the greedy
fingers feel the thorns. AS long as
people will believe that strangers are
pining to give up fortunes into their
keeping, as long as they will imagine
that, while capital in the hands of the
shrewdest and most experienced men
is struggling for an opportunity to
earn 4 per cent year. somebody is
generously ready to pay them from 20
to 500 per cent month, they are hope
less.
What can be done with such people
except to strip them of the resources
which they know neither how to keep
nor how to use? AS far as the preya-
lence of fraudulent designs upon the
general public is concerned, We have
rarely fallen upon a lower average of
morals than today prevails. Perhaps
the very condition may be the pro-
moter of an enlarged moral sense.
