PAYING FOR 1T.

The report comes from Iowa that
the railroad literary bureaus are Of
fering to pay cash to get editorial mat
ter defending the railroads into the
newspapers of Iowa. The Des Moines
Register and Leader and the Mount
Pleasant News have made long state
ments that the Dro-railroad bureau has
sent written offers to pay for the in
sertion of such editorial matter
1t is charged that a Des Moines law
yer is doing this work in the interest
of the railroads. A Chicago paper in
referring to this matter says:
1.-The Des Moines lawyers work is
said to have been supplemented by
that of an employe of the railway pub
hcity bureau in Chicago. who claimed
to be a member of the Chicago Press
club. It is also declared that railroad
agents from the east have called on
editors and tried to make contracts
with them to SECURE the publication of
railroad arguments. After referring to
the esta ablishment of railroad bureaus
in Chicago, Washington and st. Louis,
an Iowa paper says:
These bureaus were not so bold in
their operations in Iowa as the ones
which have recently been trying to do
business with Iowa newspaper publish
ers. They did not offer to pay to have
their literature inserted in the news
papers as editorial matter representing
the convictions of the editor
This report from Iowa may explain
why Kansas newspapers are now so
strenuously defending the railroads
and publishing all the editorial matter
possible against President RooseveIts
idea of railroad rate regulation.

HOW no Do n

The suggestion of John @. Royce that
a separate convention be held to nom
mate candidate for United States sen
ator has its good points. It would
probably come nearer reaching the act
ual win Of the people than any other
method, and that is what is wanted.
The only thing that can be urged
against such a plan would be its ex-
pense, but it would probably really. cost
less than to have the caucusing and
wire-pulling over the election Of q sen
ator take uD three weeks Of a Iegisla-
tive session.
BY holding a separate convention the
trades that would be almost certain to
be made in the regular state convention
would be eliminated. If a United States
senator were to be nominated by the
regular convention, along with the gov
ernor and other state officers, it would
overshadow everything else, and ali
sorts of trades would be made. These
trades are made now in every. conven-
ton where several propositions are to
be considered. It is impossible to elm
mate them.
But by nominating the candidate for
senator in a separate convention. by
delegates solely on the senatorial issue,
the will of the people would be secured
without giving the politicians a chance
TO manipulate a state ticket to their
special liking by means of trades.

SOME FINANCE.

1t seems to be very easy to get rich
if you have sufficient trustee funds in
your possession to use to speculate
with, or if you, as trustee. buy things
from yourself as a private individual
at big profit to yourself.
This is what some of the Equitable
fnanciers did. For instance, in May
1901. Senator Depew. James ". Alex
ander. James H. Hyde, George H.
Squire. and others of the Equitable
group" went into a syndicate to float
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy secU
ties. They put the Equitable in for
100000 and took $4,000 600 ans NJ
themselves. The Equitable treasury
supplied all the money required. but
got only s7,729 of the actual profits Of
$4,000.
In another instance the hnanciers
borrowed" s21s,1OO from the Equit-
able. without interest, of course, to
float deal of which they took $780,
900 and gave the society $100. 600. The
society, of which they We're trustees
furnished all the capital to finance the
deal. The company received $2,386 as
its share of the profits, and the indi-
viduals five times as much, although
they did not put a dollar of capital
into the deal.
This is about on a par with that
Kansas state official who bought some
bonds of his home town bearing five
per cent interest, and nine days after
he became trustee of the fund for
the school children of the state, he un-
loaded these bonds on to that fund,
clipping off enough coupons to net
him over $4,000 on a $4,000 deal in
addition to the interest he received in
the meantime.
The Equitable officials, at whom
the country is now storming, are not a
bit worse than is this Kansas state Off
cial, who used the trust funds of the
school children of Kansas to his own
personal gain.

How to Sell Goods in Germany.

The German regulations connected
with the foreign travelling salesman
who may desire to ply his trade within
the kaiser's realm are particularly
stringent. All foreign statesmen must
procure licenses. If the article
handled should include fruit, eggs,
poultry, beesWax, or honey, the sales
man will be refused license if he has
ever been under police surveillance, or
If he has ever been known as
habitual drunkard or vagrant, though
what selling beeswax has to do with
vagrancy or drinking, more than any
other article of commerce, is not ap-
parent. It viii be well for any sales
man considering a trip through Ger
many to look I'D the regulations at
any German consulate before starting.
He may be spared expense and posi-
bic humiliation by so doing.
case in point was the experience
of a salesman for a typewriter manu-
factory who went across to work
Belgium, and at the last moment
thought he would make g short trip
through the northern part of Ger
many. He carried with him d COM
pound prepared by himself which con-
tained beeswax as one of the in
gradients, and which he desired to in
troduce as d lubricating article for
typewriters and other delicate mechau-
isms.
When he presented his passport, at
the first custom house across the
frontier, an official began to question
him. He was first asked if his only
line was that of typewriters, and,
when he replied that he had d lubri-
eating compound to sell, the official
demanded to know its ingredients.
When beeswax was mentioned new
line of interrogations was started.
'EIave you ever been under police
surveillance? ?" asked the official,
crisply.
No replied the American. But
what"
Have you ever served a sentence Of
three months or more for any Grim
inal act or misdemeanor2" he was in
terrupted.
At this the salesman became angry.
Are you trying to insult me?" he
cried. What do you mean by asking
such idiotic questions? -? I never stole
anything in my life, and even if 1 did
I never stole beesWaX. I bought that
wax and paid for it. If you require an
autobiograp phical sketch of my life,
I'll have one printed and mailed to
you; and, even if it is necessary to
make a fool of yourself, you can't
make one of me. don't have to sell
my compound in your country. There
are other places. Back home in Gods
country they don't make a man tell
what his great grandmother died of
before he is allowed to sell corn
plasters.'
The official was unmoved He made
an entry upon a piece of paper, and
continued:
Have you one or more children. not
properly cared for, or who, if between
six and fourteen years of age
He did not finish the question. There
was no need. The American had fed,
