around the track, while Mr.. Taylor lay pros
trate. He was picked up and it was found that
his left ear had been badly cut and torn.

back to the stand. With temporary bandage

Guilty of SWindling.

One Latson Balliett, Of Iowa, has
pleaded guilty to a charge of swind-
ling. Il is only justice to Balliett to
say that at last he has made state
ment that the public can believe. He
has for several years been a promo
ter Of mines, his method consisting
OF promoting money from the pockets
Of the credulous to his own. He was
fond Of appearing in print, and bought
a newspaper plant so as to get there
regularly. He also hired pages of
higI class advertising. wherein he was
pictured as a young mining prince.
There were touching biographies set
ting forth his worth, and photographs
giving TO the world knowledge Of his
manly beauty. The interiors of his
various luxurious offices and the seal
skins Of his stenographers became IA
miliar. The truth seems 10 have been
that Balliett had a yalueless mine.
and that he was too wise to put any
OF the money he garnered into a fu-
tile attempt TO create a value.
Diyested Of his artificial setting, the
man shows as a very plain and rather
clumsy rascal. Doubtless he will be
given time for reflection and repent
ance, and meanwhile subscribers can
whistle for their money. AS an indi-
r,fJssa1 thc fatIo.sr A. not - ore..s.1 l..
terest. but as a type. contrasted with
other types, he affords a mental di-
version. Balliett took a hole in the
ground. and with the pretense that it
was capable of producing dividends,
sold it to any who would buy. How
different the method of the shrewd
operator. The latter uses stock rep
resentative of wind and water, no
whit more productive or capable OF
production than Ballietts spurious
mine. Indeed. the moral advantage is
with Balliett, for at least he had a
hole in the ground, and might have
hoped il contained mineral. The
character of the pseudo stock is
known 20 the peddlers OF it. and they
know the impossibility that investors
can achieve anything but loss. Yet
they sell the stuff, swindle their
trusting patrons. and now. far from
pleading guilty, have a place among
financial captains Balliett was sadly

is calling upon his troops to sacrifice
themselves for the glory of the Car.
In their hunger and distress these
troops may reflect that the Car never
did much for them, and yet they stay
at their posts to be butchered ike
sheep in the shambles.
With all their fierceness, and pic
turesque valor, both the japanese ana
Russians have manifested many traits
better than those which find express
sion in slaughtering and being slaugh-
tered. Every time they rise for the
nonce to a humane plane, they evoke
from spectators all over the civilized
world regret that splendid qualities
should be going to waste, magnificent
energy be turned awry, and courage
facing courage in a quest of mutual
destruction.

Campaign Funds Afterwards.

During the campaign there was
much said as to the size and sources
of the respective campaign funds.
One of the Democratic papers was
particularly virulent in the assertion
that the Republicans were, by black
mail. extOrting money from the
trusts. This paper was not the
World" nor the Times" of New
York. either. Both of these journals,
albeit they used methods that did not
excite warm approval, were fighting
for a principle in which they believed.
The especially vicious attack came
from a paper that was fighting, not
consistently nor frankly, but by
spasms. The accusations it hurled
were indicative OF the prevalence of
one of these spasms.
To charge the Roosevelt forces with
levying upon the trusts, Of course i'm
piled that the Parker forces, pure,
spOtless. and unassailable, Mortified
at the exhibition of such wickedness,
would not have taken a dollar that
could not be accepted in the spirit a
missionary accepts. Since the cam
paign there has been a change. The
paper in question now declares that
the Democrats had contributions from
the trusts, and that the Republicans
refused at least one contribution lest
to take it might seem TO create an OBJ
legation 10 be paid later.
The average citizen, doing nothing
in the way OF public duty beyond vot-
ing and paying taxes, would like to
know the truth about this matter.
But he might as well give up the no
ton. He never will know. There
could not be a verify set forth by af-
idavit that would not. by affidavit
equally solemn, be denounced as fic-
ton. So the average citizen may
keep right on guessing.
