WHAT'S THIs7

Tho following pecial from Wash
ington TO the New York Herald is
extremely interesting Is the admin
istration really in earnest in its oppo-
sit on to railroad rebates CT has Il
been merely prtting 10 a bluff? TO
borrow ali expression from Judge
Parkc' mercy throwing dust in tho
eyes of the people? The Bulletin has
believed in President Roosevelt's sin
cerity on this question, but the strong
est faith Is sometimes shaken-at
least, sorely tried. 1t is greatly TO
be h ped that there is nothing In the
article quoted below, but If it is true,
the standing Of Judge Harmon as
lawyer-he being a former attorney
general of the United States-places
the administration in an unfavorable
light.
Says the special referred to:
1t develops that the recent visit of
former Judges Harmon and Judson,
special attorneys for the government
in the Santa Fe case, resulted in a
stormy session with Attorney General
Moody, and only the latter's plea ano
the absence Of the president prevent
ed the abrupt retirement Of the two
counsel from the case.
1T is known that there have been
frequent consultations by the two at
torneys, and that in some way they
received the impression that the AT
ministration did not really intend an
energetic prosecution. Things finally
came tor the pass that Messrs. Han.
mon and Judson formally drafted "a
course OF action which was drastic
n the extreme.
The formulated program was pre-
eltod % that official. II stated that
as the Santa Fo officials had nagran;.
! ~ continued the system OF rebates
after they had been enjoned in court
no ursc remained except for the
government a. once To institute pro
ccedings in contempt. arrest the re-
spcnsiblo heads OF the company and
( prosecute them to the fullest extent.
Mr.. Moody argued for less drastic
measures bur was informed that
Messrs Harmon and Judson had pre-
scented their program # recummei..
dalions as an ultimatum. and if the
a1ministrat on did not intend To pros
ccute thoroughly they would AT once
retire from the case The attorney
general urged that the attorneys hold
their ultimaium in allegiance until
I the return of President Roosevelt
II; m his vacation. and after much
( pleading Mcssrs. Harmon and Judson
reluctantly consented and left for
their homes"

SOME STRAIGHT TALK.

Rev, Sam Jones is dealing some
hard blows down at Memphis which
may be read with profit in Cairo. es-
pee ally the following paragraph:
I sat in the pastors study this
morning, he declared. and listened
to the story OF a sweet faced woman
with two beautiful and innocent little
children by her side. She said her
husband had lost all on the races ana
that her trunks we're then in the de

fathers home Her story touched

FORTHE GUIDANCE OF VOTERS

The Bulletin submits herewith,
for the guidance of voters, an
collective ticket embracing the best
candidates for the Offices to be
filled at the city election this
month. In the selection of this
ticket there is no consideration of
part sanahip, class or creed. The
men recommended TO the electors
are those who, either by fitness or
experience, or both, The Bulletin
believes to be better qualified than
their respective opponents to fill
the positions TO which they aspire.
In an instance where an impartial
merit rule works equally to the
advantage of more than one candi-
date for the same office no recon-
mendatien is made.
