WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE performs a
public service in September Mcclure 8
in telling clearly and intelligently the in
spring story of how President Roosevelt
uncovered the fraud in the postal de-
partment. Mr.. White not only gives the
facts concerning this great administra-
tive sensation, but he interprets their
significance and analyses both the ten
denotes which made these frauds posi-
BILE and the newer trend which exposed
them. For nearly thirty years, Mr..
White claims, the corruption of public
officials has been growing steadily worse
under the fostering care of the party
system. He who exposed public officers
in their semi-legalized looting has been
viewed an enemy of his party. But re-
Gently there has been visible growth Of
moral perception in matters political
among the people, and this force may
act for the people. In the access of a
real moral intelligence about their poll
tics, in the fixing of the trait of civic
honesty the people of the United States
are discovering an important function Of
government To bring about such con-
dition means more for America than the
VI IdTIuS VI Lu0 eSGdUllSI
ment of any kind of currency, argues Mr.,
White. THE real interest in American
politics is in the moral uplft in the ad-
ministration of the existing laws given
to the country by President Roosevelt.
The most important manifestion of this
is found in the way he cleaned up the
corruption he found in the postoffice de-
partment. That story is one which the
people have not in as exact detail as
they should have it to realize what man
ner of man they are dealing with in the
White House.

The democratic party in convention at
Oshkosh are having trou bles of their
own. 1t seems as widely split upon the
declaration of platform principles as the
republicans, and bitter contest is i'm
minent. The com bination of socialism
and populism preached by La Toilette
has taken deeper root in democratic
ranks than they knew Of. The gospel of
discomfort has mighty strong hold on
the masses near election time.

'He looked so young and innocent"
said the lawyer who was telling the
story, according to the New York
Press, that 1 couldn't bring myself to
believe he was guilty. While 1 was
in court he was arraigned on a charge
of picking pockets. He was without
friends and was not represented by a
lawyer. Something in his appearance
attracted me, and 1 volunteered to de-
fend him. The evidence against him was
very strong, but l fought the case
to the bitter end and succeeded in
clearing him.
THE next day I received a visit from
my client, who assured me, with tears
in his eyes, that he never could re-
pay me for what 1 had done. Then,
very much to my surprise, he put his
hind in his pocket and asked how much
he owed me.
Surprising that he was green and
had an idea that my bill would be for
a dollar or so, 1 thought I would
stagger him, so / put it at 500. But
he pulled a large roll of bills out of
his pocket counted out the amount
and handed it over. 1t was my turn
to gasp. Then he shook hands, thank
ed me again, and left me star
ing at the money he had placed be-
fore me.
"When I recovered from my trance
I started to put the $100 away with
5000 that a deacon of a church had
paid me just before for winning a line
fence suit for him. The 5000 was gone!
Yes, sir, that ungTateful young
whelp had touched me, and then
had the nerve to pay his bill from
nv roll {"

"sUCH A BEAUTIFUL HOST"
From the Baltimore Sun.

New York, Sept. ia burglar who
stole onlv such luXuries as cham
payne, porterhouse steak and chicken,
with which he gave dinners to the
young women in his neighborhbod,
pleaded guilty in the Butler Street Po-
lice Court, Brooklyn, to-day to seven
charges of robbery.
The prisoner, whose name is Herman
Rich Miller, is about % years old and
has luXurously furnished apartments
IN Sixth avenue, South Brooklyn. A
score of pretty girls, belonging to
prominent South Brooklyn families,
were in the court when he was ar
raigned.
The principal complainant against
the young man was a hotel proprietor
who says that since July Is Miller had
stolen $1,000 worth of champagne from
him. Another complainant wasa butcher
who alleged that the young de-
PENDANT stole from his shops a. side of
beef, twelve chickens and four hams.
Miller who did not seem in the least
discomposed, stood before the magis-
trate, his hands thrust in his trousers
pockets, and admitted all the charges
brought against him.
It's just my penchant," he said. 81
think l was born a burglar. As a
child, when my parents refused me
anything, I simply took it,
His confession made the young wom-
en- who had come to court to see him
indicated and to sympathize with him
fairly gasp. When he admitted the
dainties they had eaten at his apart
ment had been stolen they turned one
to another and remarked: Isn't it a
pity? Who would have thought it?
He was such a beautiful host"

Rudolph Spreckels of San Francisco,
tells of young San Franciscan who
had answered a usurer's advertisement,
says the New York Telegram. The ad-
vertisement was an offer to lend mon
ey without any other security than the
borrowers salary. The young man
visited the usurer and arranged the de-
tails for a loan of $500. 1t took week
or more to settle these details, and
then the young man called for his
money.
I'VE are ready for you, sir, at last"
the usurer said, politely. You want
$500. Here it is. We charge you per
cent. a month and you want the money
for year. Thus there is just this
5000 coming to you"
The young San Franciscan laughed
bitterly.
IF 1 wanted it for two years." he
said, "there'd be something coming to
you, wouldn't there?"
He needed the loan, but he was man
enough never theless, to spurn these
terms and deDarted

order that there should be no mistake.

a good little boy, aren't you?'

Again the boy was wise enough to
hold his peace, but he looked as if he
thought the job was a pretty big

FEATURES OF THE CAMPAIGN.

The chief features of the presidential
campaign as they are seen in New
York, are, say some observers who
have just returned from that city
lack of interest and the difficulty in
getting campaign funds. The people
do not seem to be interested in politi-
cal questions. and the rich men and
the corporations are contributing but
sparingly to the treasures of the two
parties.
1t is easy to see why there is lack
of interest. There is no great issue
requiring immediate settlement The
tariff is of course a great issue, but it
is older than the parties. The Phil
ippine question is comparatively new,
but it presents nothing that seems to
threaten immediate danger to our in
terests or our institutions. The money
question is settled, practically, so
that no apprehension is felt in regard
to it. In fact, there is no question
that is appealing strongly to the peo-
pie, and hence, they are not paying
much attention to politics. In the no.
tells, restaurants public conveyances
and other public places men are not
engaged in discussing the issues of
the campaign. They are. as a rule,
discussing business matters, or, if their
talk is of political character, the
subject of IL is candidates. The hope
is entertained by the leaders that in
terest will increase as the campaign
progresses. Unless it does the chances
are that a small vote will be cast. OF
course there win be more or less in
teyest in locai issues, but, as yet. even
these are not commanding much at
tention.
The story that some of the Repub-
liean correspondents publish, namely,
that the Democrats have collected
more money than the Republicans. can
hardly be true. The Republicans have
all Of the great industrial interests,
the corporations and the trusts. to
draw upon. while the Democrats have
to depend wholly upon the few rich
men in their ranks. The statement is
made doubtless to create the impress
sion that the Republican party isn't in
close touch with the trusts, but II that
Is the case IL will not accomplish its
purpose.

From the Philadelphia Record.


Indianapolis. Sept. 17.-Because he
could not forgive trolley employees aft
er a car had cut off three of his toes,
Bruno, a splendid st. Bernard dog be-
longing to Mayor Charles A. Book
walter, had to be chloroformed. His
hostility to street car conductors and
motormen was his only fault, but that
pc-Sse of his character caused so many
threats of damage suits that Mayor
BOokwalter decided that he could not
afford to keep him.
Several years ago while in the street
in front of his masters house the dog
was struck by a street car. His foot
was caught under the wheel and he
came out of the accident minus three
toes. This was the beginning of his
antipathy to street car men, and it
grew upon him till no employee was
safe if Bruno saw him off his car.
Mayor BOokWaIter lives on North IL
linois street. Near his residence is a
place where the conductors and mo-
tormen change cars, and as many of
them reach the point before their cars
arrive, there are always several in the
street. Up to a few months ago
Bruno contented himself with attack
ing his supposed enemies when they
passed the Mayors house off their
cars. But recently he began to lie
around the relieving station and before
his presence was suspected he would
have one of the men by the leg.
Complaints were made, and the
Mayor sent the dog to his farm, but
Bruno wouldn't stay. No mOtormen
nor conductors came that way, and
he was lonesome. So he came back,
and when sent away a second time,
again returned. He was always found
waiting around for an opportunity to
get street ear man by the leg. So
Bruno was sent on a journey from
which he will never return.
He was great dog" said Mr..
BookWalter, but he was made for an
eighty-acre field. and not for town
lot. 1 am satisfied that his only mo-
tive for attacking street car men was
to get even for the loss of those toes.
He felt the deformity keenly, and was
never the same dog after he was in
jured. Amy child could play with him,
and l never knew him to attack a
stranger but the sight of a street car
conductor or motorman seemed to
awaken in him a spirit of revenge
which was never manifested under any
other circumstances"
