II Comes fr M Oyat-r Rav and Applies
TO the New York World.
Sept. l. according - newspaper dis
patch Of that date. Secretary Loeb gave
out n typewriter statement denying a
story printed in the New York World
to the effect to J. Pierpont Morgan has
recently held conferences with Mr..
Roosevelt concerning the campaign. 1t
is as follows:
The story in the World about the Visit Of
Mr. Morgan Ia the President "a Oyster Pay
is lie from beginning to cEd. N'ither
Mr Morgan nor the New York rpr.'s"Nta-
tive Of Mr.. Morgan has seen the President
or communicated with him directly or iuGi-
rectly at Oyster Bay or anywhere r!sc As
far as the President or anyone around him
knows, Mr.. Morgan has been rowlere near
Oyster Bay In yacht or Otherwise
One paper comments upon the unusual
use of the word lie in statements gwen
ont 10y the President. There are i..ues
when only one word in the EAslsa IAN
guage will serve, and President R9ose-
welt is an authority on Engl.sA. There
is only one word to fifty ami accurately
characterize certain statements-such
statements as that of The World which
the President was contradicting.
A lie. according to Webster, is "a
criminal falsehood; A FALSEHOOD
UTTERED FOR PURPOSES or DE-
CEPTION: AN INTENTIONAL VIO-
LATION OF TRUTH"
The Century Dictionary thus defines
the word;
"Lie-1. A FALSE STATEMENT
MADE WITH THE PURPOSE OF
DECEIVING. an intentional u.;srth;
falsehood the utterance by speech or
act of that which is false WITH IN
TENT TO MISLEAD OR DEiUDE.
-. THAT WHICH is INTENDED OR
SERVES TO DECEIVE OR MIS-
LEAD: ANYTHING DESIGNED OR
ADAPTED TO PRODUCE FALSE
CONCLUSIONS OR ENPECTA-
TIONS."
There can be no doubt that the Presi-
dent used exactly the right word.
Ii would be like carrying Goals 10 New
castle to explain to our friends the Dem
ocrats the meaning and inner cussedness
OF the word lie" Past grand masters
in the art. they need no definitions or
fine drawn distinctions. But Republi-
cans and independents are not so well
up in this branch OF human activity, and
so it is well, perhaps. TO call their atten-
tion to the latest proper and desirable
use of the small English monosyllable
which is just now under discussion.

NOT FIT TO BE PRESIDENT.
An "Evening Post" Opinion of Judge
Parker.

New York Evening Post, July l, 1909
We presume that Judge Parker's greet
inrs in Georgia as "our next President
will not rufle his judicial calm. Like
the rest Of us. he has seen too many next
Presidents a year before election.
They usually swarm like grasshOppers
in July before the nominating conven-
ton. But the Judge will be subjected
in his Georgia address to a pretty sharp
test of his fitness for President, next
time or ever. Win he have the courage
TO speak a direct and wholesome word
10 the people Of the South on the question
which is rapidly becoming the leading ma
tiOnal issue?
We mean, Of course, the whole matter
of abridged suffrage, denied citizenship.
refusal Of equal treatment before the
law. and the recrudescence Of slavery, as
affecting our NEGRO population. The
southern papers are full Of it, and de-
manding that the South be ''let alone"
in its challenge of human rights and dis
regard Of the constitution. Edward NJ.
Shepard told the people of New Orleans
that the South ought to be left to 80 its
own way. But can a man named as
"our next President" agree TO such a
local notification Of national laws? If
he can. he is not fit to be President next
year or any year.

UNLIKE DEMOCRATS
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS OF
REPUBLICANS NEVER SHADY.
sale of Philippine Bonds to Western
Hank, the Highe,t Bidder - Demo-
cratic Deal with the Belmont
Syndicate RiddIed.

The fourth installment Of the S3,000,-
600 of Philippine bonds was taken at
lO1.41 by the Western National Bank
of Oklahoma City, whose bid for the
bonds was the highest. The fact that
western bank should Outbid leading insti-
buttons Of Wall street for these bonds
suggests how the West is rapidly gaining
in financial power and Importance. No
western bank would have dared TO bid
for such a large issue of bonds without
being perfectly satisfied that II could hnd
broad market for them amongst local
investors The old financial problem of
the West was to get money from the
East. The present problem Of the West
is to find good channels for the invest
ment Of its own money.
BY a transaction such as this we find
investors in the Southwest become cred
itors Of the Philippine Islands. In other
words. they are lOaning some OF the
fruits Of their own prosperity under Re
publican rule 10 help along the prosperity
Of our nations wards in the Philippines.
The security which United States gov
ernment over the Philippines gives to
| lives and property, trade and industry
makes the credit Of the islands good so
that investors are quite willing to pay
premium for Philippine bonds. If the
| United States government were not SOW
ereign over the Philippines, II Is ques-
ton whether the islands would be able
J TO float bonds even at a discount, hence
many needed Improvements for the ISL
ands could not be carried out Were
the Democratic party to be successful
in the election this fan, the owners Of
Philippine bonds would doubtless see a
quick slump in their market value.

ple an equal chance, and all sections Of

as followed out during the last Cleveland
administration, the government ignored
the small investors, and had 10 use for

For instance. on Feb. is, 1895. the

cate sold to the public for $50, pa,

transaction, Of nearly S3.0O0OO0. The
price at which the bonds were sold 10
the syndicate was equivalent to 1917,

of Course Not.

David B. Hill stated, in one of his
speeches. that Mr.. Roosevelt, on taking
the oath Of office after the death OF
President Mckinley, said that he would
not be a candidate for President in 1904.
President Roosevelt has never made a
promise as to his own personal action
which he did not redeem. The President
is outspoken, fair and square. These
are characteristics of the man. He
makes no promises be does not intend to
keen. and he keeps such as he makes.
The silly story started by Hill had no
foundation in fact, and It is really not
worth the ink and paper that has been
used in denying it. except that it once
more marks the character Of Hill.

Rural free delivery has enabled farm

The general prosperity the country has
enjoyed under Republican administration
during the last seven years has profited
the farmer as much il not more than any
other one class. The farmers know il,
and should and undoubtedly will vote TO
continue conditions as they are and have
been.
Milford chronicle., 1904-09-16

With the immense crops which are now
assured it is essential that prices be
maintained so that farmers may reap the
full reward of their labors. This is as
sured if the Republican party is contin-
ued in power.

FARM WAGES.
Figures az to Rates Paid in England
and the Uuite1 States.

The August Labor Gazette a govern
ment publication issued monthly by the
British Board of Trade. gives an inter
esting account Of the halfyearly agri-
cultural hirings al Whitsuntide 1904. for
the counties Of Cumberland, Westlnore-
land and North Lancashire. which affords
an instructive view of the rates paid
farm hands in England. The official re-
port prepared for the department states
that "the supply of male farm servants
was fairly plentiful owing partly to
slackness of employment in other indus
tries but that wages showed down
ward tendency in the case of men. bat
women were scarce and their wages
were well maintained"
The following were the rates generally
agreed upon for the half year:
Per six months
with board.
Best men ..................S .StJ.VV 10 $-g-'Wp
Second class men.......-... ao.pO 10 la-Vp
Youths and boys ........... 2O0p 10 % ~
Best women ............... 500 10 t1.Vo
Second class women and .,.
girls .......... ......-... 2O.VO 10 VV.vO
These rates have been slightly increas-
ed in the transcription from English
money into dollars and cents at the ratio
and authoritative exhibit of what British
farm hands are receiving by which every
intelligent American farm hand can com
part the wages he receives.
Without knowing the number OF men
employed in each class and at varying
rates therein it is, Of course, impossible
to arrive at an average rate Of compensa-
tion. But with 500 per half year for
the highest and $50 for the lowest Of the
second-class men il is evident that the
yearly average for male farm hands ex-
elusive of youths and boys in Great
Britain cannot be much, if any, above
$50 a year. while the average fer wom-
en- would be somewhere around 500.
We have no similar figures for the
United States, but in a recent bulletin
entitled Wages Of Farm Labor in the
United States" issued by the Depart
meG Of Agriculture. the figures Of the
average monthly wages Of farm laborers
in this country are given. Multiplied by
six. to arrive at the half yearly rate,
they furnish the following:
Average wages Of farm larorers in the
United States.
