Indian Territory and Oklahoma aud
for New Mexico and Arizona. Cannon
feels that this matter cannot safely

The Kansas City Star commenting
upon President McOall's testimony as
to giving the money of policy holders
to the republican campaign commit
tee, says: ut would be legitimate,
for example, for a corporation to lend
its influence aud to give its money to
defeat a heresy like the free silver
doctrine, If it was convinced that the
success Of such a doctrine would be
detrimental to its business; and 1t
had a right to give money as 1t
pleased" In other words 1t is con.
sistent with the moral standards Of
the Star for corporations to make
such contributions out Of trust funds
when the contributions are to the
republican party, but very wrong
when they are made to the democratic
party.
