MAKES THREAT TO TALK
Says He Has Saved S., 1000, 900
Worth of Realty by
Opposing Technicalities
MAKES THREAT TO TALK

This is what one gets" remarked
Attorney Reuben H. Lloyd yesterday
afternoon as he left Judge Cooks
courtroom, after doing ones duty
faithfully and conscientiously. We
have saved the Fair heirs about
$5,000.000 in real estate through sue
cessfully fighting technicalities and
this is all the thanks we get
The argument on the order to show
cause why the order made on Tues
day. April 25. should not be revoked
came up before Judge Cook. The
point in dispute was whether the pay
ment of s150.000 in equal shares to
Knight & Heggerty and Lloyd & Wood
covered all their services rendered
"or to be rendered.
Attorney Lloyd argued that the fu-
ture was not included in the allow
ance. There were still pending the.
Rooney suit for $4,000 against the
administrator; the suit of Sanford
Bennett for $4,000 and the suit of
$1041 with interest of James Fair.
The heirs had been asked to relieve
the attorneys of these suits, Lloyd
said, but had declined and they were
entitled to the usual fees for their SER
vices.
Attorney C. j. Heggerty followed on
the same lines and both explained
Tuesday week.
y TOBIN OBJECTS.
Attorney Joseph S. Tobin. the pres
ent representative of Mrs. Oelrichs
and Mrs. Vanderbilt, said that to him
there was no more unpleasant or dis
tasteful duty than to object to an al
lowance to other counsel.
I'VE are not asking for an allow
ance," interjected Lloyd.
r =,
his say and he did not want to be in
terrupted. He asserted that the fees
allowed counsel were more than dou-
bic those allowed in any other probate
case in the Superior Court. He. con-
tended that the allowance made to
counsel was to cover everything and
he would, he said, be able to show
that an agreement had been made be-
tween the distributes and counsel
whereby, on the promise of the former
not to set aside or impugn the allow
ance of $150,000 counsel would give
them a full discharge for their SER
vices. He asked Lloyd to take the
stand.
After one or two preliminary ques-
tions, Tobin asked if on April 2, 1904,
Lloyd asked the court for an allow
ance.
Lloyd declined to answer the ques-
ton. as it was irrevelant to the pres
ent issue and Tobin appealed to the
Judge for a ruling, claiming that he
was entitled to show that the $780,
900 was for future as well as for past
services.

Are these men who have squandered
the funds of the life insurance compa-
MES on riotous living and contribu-
tons for partisan purposes to the Re
publican campaign committee to go
unpunished? The corporations they
control have no souls and cannot be
reached, but the managers have bodies
and must be retired from their carnival
Of corruption if the law can reach
them. They must make place for Il
more honest, decent and equitable
management Of the savings of the peo-
pie. Corporations of all kinds are the
prolific source Of corruption in politics,
and their control Of congress, legisla-
lures and city councils is the reason
corrupt men work their way into those
bodies for the sake Of being corrupted.
Others who are honest when elected
often become debauched by the design
ing Legislative agents" who have vast
sums to eXpend for politics, and. as
proved in the case Of the life insurance
companies, the money Of widows and
orphans is expended for those nefarious
purposes.

German Retaliation,

AS the crop of corn is a large one
and there will therefore be considerable
for export, it is not very encouraging
to the farmers to know that March 1
next the German tariff Oh corn will be
increased from II per cent to PIP per
cent. That duty is virtually prohibit
tive, and the price of corn here may be
expected to decline somewhat in con-
sequence. Those farmers who vote to
stand pat by electing Republican con-
gressmen will soon discover that for
eign retaliation against our protective
tariff hits the farmers first and hard
est, for u surplus of agricultural
products must be sold abroad in COM
petition with other countries who also
raise a surplus to sell. Beef, pork,
wheat and rye meet with the same fate
at the hands of the new German tariff,
so the farmers are hard hit all around.
Our tariff protects the trusts, and the
farmers and others have to pay high
trust prices for what they buy. but 1t
cuts off the foreign markets for what
they have to sell. Germany virtually
says, IF you will not buy of us we
won't buy of you" And the worst of
1t is other countries are about to follow
Germany's example.

Officials

The Washington newspapers an
nounce that Director Wolcott of the
geological survey returned to his desk
after an absence Of five months" This
sort of directing at long range may be
all right for a scientific institution like
the geological survey, but it is hardly
a surprise to find that in the long alb
II of the cat the mice have played,
and n Of the numerous Republican
scandals is the result. AS Director
Wolcott is so fond Of being in the
field inspecting the work of his SUBJ
ordinates instead Of keeping in touch
with his Office, he should be superseded
by some one else as director and be
given the job Of Inspector. These head
Republican officials can always find
an excuse for Il iunket at government
expense during the summer time and
then join in the society festivities dur
Ing the Washington winter season.

PRACTICAL POLITICS.
President R~oosevelt's Pointed Re-
marks In This Connection.

President R%oosevelt's denunciation Of
the Republican leaders in Pennsylva-
MIA, Ohio, New York and, in fact, all
the states should open the eyes Of the
Republican voters and lead to a polft-
zeal revolution. He evidently alluded
to the tainted money from life insur-
ance and other corporations received
and expended to corrupt the voters by
Mr.. Cortelyou, the chairman Of the na-
tional Republican committee, and MI.
Babcock Of the congressional commit
tee, when he said:
I'VE should treat with a peculiarly
contemptuous adherence the man who
debauches either our business life OF
our political life. There are men who
use the phrase practical politics as
merely a ~euphemism for dirty politics.
and it is such men who have brought
the word politician into discredit.
There I other men who use the noX-
ious phrase business is business as an
excuse and justification for every kind
of mean and crooked work, and these
men make honest Americans hang
their heads because Of some of the
things they do.
1T is the duty of every honest pa
triot to rebuke in emphatic fashion the
politician who does not understand
that the only kind of practical poll
tics which a nation can with safety
tolerate is that kind which we know
as clean politics."

UnreDresentel Renuhlicnns.

When the clerk of the house of rep
resentatives calls the roll when con-
gress meets there will be no response
from the two Republican members
from Oregon. One has been convicted
of conspiring to plumber Uncle Sam,
and the other is awaiting 4 new trial
for the same offense. When the sec
rotary Of the senate calls the roll of
that body but n senator from Oregon
will respond from the same cause. The
Republican voters Of Oregon must feel
cheap with senator convicted and
their representatives in the lower
house in similar plight.
Republican voters in other states are
lacking representation from similar
causes, and q close scrutiny of the
votes and actions Of others will lead
honest voters to decide to retire nan
OF their senators and representatives to
private life. If such an inquisition is
industriously followed there will not
be a Republican quorum in either
house or senate after the next election.
Turn the rascals out!

Our Sacred Tariff,

To earn a place on the ways and
means committee of the next house of
representatives Hon. Henry Sherman
Boutell, who represents a Republican
district of Chicago, declares upon re-
turning from a six months trip to Eu-
rope, 1--WE are not called upon to touch
our tariff in order to meet any exigen-
cy of foreign trade" Speaker Cannon
will hardly be able to turn down such
an uncompromising stand patter. He
should be made chairman Of the COM
mittee and every trust should deem it
a pleasure and a duty to subscribe to
his campaign fund. What cares he aft
er rolling in luxury on an ocean grey
hound, which maybe the steamship
trust, with an eye to windward for a
subsidy, gave free passage for, how
much high trust prices plumber his
constituents! He is mot called upon to
touch our tariff" though hundreds of
his constituents are skimping in food
and clothes to make both ends meet.

ANOTHER BOND ISSUE,
A Deal Republicans and
Wall Street

1t is now proposed by the Republican
leaders to issue $60,O00,0OO of bonds to
replenish the deficit in the treasury be-
cause receipts do not cover cXpendi-
lures. The secretary Of the treasury
now has power under the Panama ca
nal act to issue bonds for building the
canal, but the law does not specify
that such bonds can be used as security
for national bank currency, and that
would reduce the price that the bankers
would be willing to pay for them. With
reasonable economy and ordinary pru-
dence in making appropriations by con-
gress, the receipts of the government
will be ample to meet the expenses
and leave sufficient surplus to pay the
running expenses Of building the canal.
The annual bill should not exceed 500
100000 a year, for not more than 90
900 to $4,000 laborers can be worked to
advantage, and the payroll for them
will not exceed $15,O 1000, supposing
their pay is So a day.
But to expect a Republican congress
to be prudent and economical would be
to expect Il drove of hogs to keep their
SHOUTS out OF the feed trough. No con-
gress controlled by the Republicans
ever has been economical-in fact, a
glance at the annual appropriations
shows ~unbounded extravaganza, and
the exposure of the waste in all de-
partments from the investigation now
under way shows an appalling condi-
ton of affairs.
To issue these bonds o~stensibly to
pay for the building of the canal, but
really to V up Republican extrava-
gance and allow a continuation of Law
ish expenditures, is a crime in time of
profound peace. Of course the Wall
street bankers are insistent that bonds
must be issued, because they hold $751;
042,OO9.54 Of government money, upon
which they are paying no interest, and,
if no bonds are issued, some of these
millions will have to be returned to
the treasury. If bonds are issued, the
bankers can use the money the admin
istration has so kindly loaned them to
buy the bonds and still keep the MONEY
deposited. It's a soft snap for the
bankers, but the taxpayers will have to
bear the burden.

Tainted Money and Restitution,

II the life insurance companies. the
trusts and protected monopolies had
not contributed their millions to the
Republican campaign funds of 1896,
1900 and 1904 it is almost certain that
the result, at least in 1896, would have
been q Democratic victory, and as
that would have changed the whole
tide of political affairs it is unneces-
sary to surmise upon the effect Of
those vast contributions in other years.
Honest folks are often %defrauded, and
there is seldom restitution made by
the thief, but punishment usually fol-
lows. But now we have proof Of cor
ruption and that the Republican party
has been the receiver of money stolen
from widows and orphans; there is no
restitution o. any desire to right the
wrong. At least President Roosevelt
should insist for the sake of his own
fair fame that the tainted money from
the life insurance companies should
be returned to it's rightful owners
The Democratic party can afford to be
defrauded. 1t was defrauded in 1876,
but %retribution followed, for no resti-
tuition was made, and history will re-
peat itself.

The ~UbiuuitOus Shaw.

President Roosevelt has decided that
members Of the cabinet can only speak
In their w states at the fall election
except Secretary Shaw, and here is the
funny feature of the administration
hippodrome. The cabinet members are
not to interfere in the state fights, but
Shaw, the clown of the circus, can get
off his jokes anywhere and everywhere
that people will hear him. Is Secretary
Shaw considered so harmless that he
is allowed to roam at will, or so hurt
full to the antiadministration faction
that his stand pat tariff talk and
known pro-railroad proclivities are ex-
pected to defeat them? From appear
the Republican machine il Ohio
Is so weighed down with Coxism and
bossism that not ven the frothing of
Shaw can hurt it more thar It has al

QUESTION WON'T DOWN.,
A New Demand OIL Republican LeEis-
latOrs For Tariff Rcvfsion,

The chamber Of commerce of New
York, through Gustav III. Schwab,
chairman Of the committee on foreign
commerce, has sent out Il letter to SINH
lar organizations throughout the coun-
try calling for concerted action to OBJ
lain tariff legislation from congress-.
Schwab and the other exporters of the
country should know that the Republic
an leaders, including President Roose-
welt, have determined to stand pat.
This determination has been arrived at
because it would split the G. O. =.
wide open to NEEDLE With the tariff.
and that party will more than ever
need the contributions Of the tariff
beneticiaries now the life insurance
these Republicann statesmen declare
that prosperity is SO prevalent that we
should let we'll enough alone. All in
good time, when hard times pinch us
again and something must be done to
relieve the stranded business of the
country, they will consider the revision
Of the tariff. but to touch it now would
invite disaster-to "the party
1t should be unnecessary to remind
SchWab and his friends that the tariff
was purposely made highly protective
so that other countries would find it
Improbable to trade with us, and, hav-
ing discovered this, these other coun-
tries have raised a like barrier to pre-
vent our trading with them. The times
are therefore unpropitious for reform,
but if these revisionists will have pa
thence and wait until the farmers and
workingmen discover that their prod
ucts are declining in price because Of
the surplus we produce is not being so
freely purchased by u former GUS
toners those voters will wake up to
their loss and blame it on the stand
patters.
If all revisionists will join next year
in electing a Democratic congress they
will obtain tariff legislation, and that
is the only way the tariff will be re-
vised unless it is revised higher.

PRATTLING STATESMEN.
They Are Ordered to Refrain From
Bahhling IN Future.

The gag put III the mouths of the
members OF The cabinet by President
Roosevelt was no doubt rendered lee
essary by the prattling Of Secretaries
Shaw, Metcalf and Wilson and per-
haps another. 1t could hardly have
been aimed at Secretaries Taft, Root,
Cortelyou and Moody, for they are all
policies Of the president and discreet in
what information they impart to the
newspapers. The extraordinary state
ment in the communication to the
members of the cabinet was this:
ut is to be hoped that in observance
Of this request, which places each mem
Der of the cabinet under the solemn
moral obligation not to discuss pro-
ceedingS of the meetings of the cabinet.
no one will III a moment of weakness
or of good nature give to a special cor
respondent whom he may especially
like or for whom he feels sorry a state
ment of anything that has happened
in cabinet meetings. Such a curse
would make it necessary to go back
to the old practice of giving out a re-
sumo of what has been done by the
cabinet, which is undesirable. Mem
bers Of the cabinet will also please re-
frain from discussing policies, either of
their own or those of the administra-
ton"
Who the leaky members of the cabi-
net are is not stated, but the fact that
members are under obligations to cor
tain newspaper correspondents whom
they respectfully like" or fear or for
whom they feel sorry in a moment Of
Weakness shows that at least one
member Of the cabinet is not fit for
his position. The further request Of
the president that his official household
refrain from discussing policies, either
of their own or those of the admins
t%ration, is certainly an extraordinary
request and should at once bring the
resignation of those who have been
guilty of these indiscretions.
The result Of this gag rule will be
that correspondents will have to guess
at what is discussed at cabinet meet
lngS n the news given u on the at
titude of the administration on Vene-
zuela, Santo Domingo, Panama, rail-
road legislation, tariff and reciprocity,
ship subsidy and other issues of public
interest will in future be lurid, contra
dictory and unreliable.
A daily court journal, with a discreet
censor, published at the government
printing office will be the next step in
the Hamiltonian tendency Of our siren
uous yet prattling statesmen.
The good old Democratic plan of tax
ing the people into the confidence of
their public servants and allowing pub
lie opinion to govern their actions is
like old fashioned honesty discarded
for the modern Republican theory that
this is a government by the few for the
benefit of special interests, and the
many must grin and pay taxes.
