ohio Republicaus in n Hole.


Two spasms of political virtue have
publican organ of Ohio. May be 1t is
not virtue that has influenced the
Journal, but merely the reading and
Interpretation of the hand writing on
the wall and the attempt to evade the
inevitable. This Republican organ
only week or two ago boldly attack
ed Senator Dick for declaring the
tariff was the paramount issue of the
Ohio campaign. Now the Journal edi-
torially attacks Senator Foraker for
the declaration in his Bellefontaine
speech against President Rooseyelt's
railroad rate legislation program
"There are two sides to that question:
says the Journal. land we feel safe
in saying that tive-siXths Of the Re-
publicans of Ohio are on the other
side" The Journal then invites Sena-
tor Foraker to the difficult task Of
winning the voters to the railroad side
of the question.
The Republican voters of Ohio who
stand with President Roosevelt are
forced logically to vote the Democra-
tic ticket, for victory of the Re
publicans would be a defeat for Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Senator Foraker took
pains to explain that the Republican
platform did not endorse the Presi-
dents program for railroad rate legis-
lation, because it was Democratic
measure, having been brought forward
years ago and adopted in Democratic
platforms.
Senator Foraker has put his party
in political hole and 1t is not unlike
ly he may thus find his political grave
already dug by his own efforts.

HISTORIC LONG ISLAND CHURCH

st. Georges Episcopal Church at
Hampstead, L. l., for the remodelins
OF which plans are being arranged, is
one of the historic edifices of the coun-
try. In April. 1904, the two hundredth
anniversary of its passing into the con-
troll of the Episcopalians was cele-
brated. The present church is the
fourth that has stood on the site. 1t
possesses royal charter presented by
Queen Anne, and also communion set
given by the same ruler in 1905, to-
gether with n Bible, prayer book, n
book of homilies, and silver chalices
and patens. The interior OF st. Georges
is considered to be unusually quaint.
The roof is supported by twelve huge
pillars of solid oak that extend into the
basement. 1t boasts clock that has
kept time for nearly 100 years.

The Democratic members Of Con-
gress should insist that an investiga-
ton of the campaign funds of both
parties shall be ordered and find out
just what amounts We're paid and by
whom, during the last three national
campaigns. Treasurer Bliss, of the
Republican national committee, could
tale unfold that would harrow up
the already distressed souls of the Re-
publican leaders. Such an exposure
would arouse the voters to demand
that such donations for corruption Of
the electorate of the close States and
Congressional districts should be pun
ishable by fine and Imprisonment and
loss of the office by the candidate for
whom the money is expended.

This Pump Works I,se,r

device which will save the auto
mobilist much annoyance and trouble
is the automatic tire pump recently in
troduced by Western firm. This
pump is so fashioned that it NAV be
fastened to any artillery wheel and
the Initiating operation is performed by
the turning of the wheel, so that the
tire may be inflated while the car is In
motion. The apparatus consists of a
plunger pump that is fastened to one
of the spokes, with rubber tube con-
meeting with the tire valve The pump
is operated by means of an eccentric
arrangement which surrounds the
wheel hub, and one member of the de-
vice is held against rotation by n cord
which may be fastened to the mud
guard or some other fixed portion of
the car above the wheel.
The apparatus is equipped with a
cutout appliance by which it is thrown
out of action after pressure of 40
pounds Is reached, and the pump is
said to be capable of maintaining the
pressure at that point in the face of a
leak of any ordinary proportions. so
that 1t is possible to make a run home
or for help in the event of puncture
without the necessity of stopping to
make n temporary repair. With the
use of this device the tire may be
maintained at uniform point with
out attention. For initiating the rear
wheels the device may be applied, and
the rear part of the vehicle being jack
ed up, the tires may be filled by start
ing the engine.-New York Herald.

The Small Farmers Suffering

The report of the commissioner who
has had charge of taking the State
census In Iowa makes the extraordi-
nary statement that authorities agree
that the loss in population is due to
the enlargement of farms. being al
most wholly in the rural districts"
AS the decrease of population has
been 3O,4S1 almost wholly" of the
farm population there must be either
concentration going on by the well
to do farmers buying out the poorer
ones. or the abandonment of farms by
those who have not been able to make
a living thereon.
Perhaps Secretary Shaw can explain
this loss of population, but those who
have tried to do so agree. that trust
high prices and railroad unreasonable
rates are the controlling cause. The
poorer farmers, of course, are the
first to suffer. And yet Secretary Shaw
Is advising the farmers in his speeches
to .:stand pat on the tariff and rail
road rate issue and is to leave the
cabinet next February because he dis.
agrees with President Roosevelt on
the legislation needed to protect the
farmers of Iowa and other States from
the plunderlng trusts and railroad cor.
porations.
The Democrats have foretold that
conditions, such as prevail in Iowa.
would be eventually prevalent every
where if protection to trusts and cor.
poratlons is continued and now, in
spite of good crops and fair prices FOL
farm products, the official record
proves their contention.

camnuixn contrihution.,


The Republicans have discovered
another matter to stand pat" upon,
or rather someone else has discovered
1t, much to their CONSERVATION. The
claim of the Democrats that millions
We're contributed by the corporations
and trusts, to buy enough voters in
the doubtful States, to keep ''the
party in power has partially come to
light. but Il good deal more Is yet to
be uncovered. President Roosevelt
has been persuaded by the Republican
leaders to stand pat" and give up
his idea of restitution of the large
amounts contributed by the life insur-
ance companies to his campaign fund.
But it is stated that to ease his con-
science, for the loss sustained by the
widows and orphans for his benefit,
he is determined to recommend legis-
lation that will, through publicity,
prevent such contributions In future.
1t is safe to say that the Republican
majority in Congress will stand pat"
on such legislation, or at least pass
no bill that will really prevent their
graft on the corporations.

Trust Prosecutions.

The protests of the people that the
Department of Justice bestir itself in
prosecuting the beef trust has borne
small amount of fruit. One of the
firm of packers has been fined $685.
600 for conspiracy in accepting re-
bates from railroads. This is a step
in the right direction, but it does not
help decrease the high price of beef
to the consumers, in fact it may lead
to another advance, so that the Of
tenders can get their money back.
This prosecution has nothing to do
with the case against the beef trust,
which is still dragging along.
But how about the railroad man
ayers who paid the rebates, are they
to go free? Their offense is more
heinous than that of the firm of beef
packers who have been fined, for
there is an express statute against re-
bates and there could have been no
conspiracy unless the railroad man
ayers We're party to 1t.

Not a Stone untnrned

Those who visited New York while
its subway was in process of construc-
ton will appreciate this story, told in
the New York Herald:
A friend of the street commissioner
of New York, while passing through
the city for the first time In his life.
lost a watch which lie valued highly.
Not being familiar with Manhattan,
the man wrote to the commissioner of
his loss, and asked him to do his best
to find the missing article. The COM
missioner answered that he would do
all in his power to recover the watch,
and that he would not leave stone
unturned in the search.
A short while after this the man
happened to be in New York again
and business took him in the direction
of Park avenue. At glance he took
in the piles of stone, dirt and other
material from the torn-up street. Rush
ing to the nearest telegraph office. he
sent the following message to the com.
missioner:
do not bother any longer. Watch
not worth it."

Republican View of imitation.


The address of Secretary Shaw be-
fore the Ohio Bankers Association Mt
Cleveland. contained some extraordi-
nary statements. if he is correctly re-
ported by the Associated Press. After
stating that our monetary system Is
not perfect, because it is non-elastc,
Mr. Shaw said, there will be no fur
Their currency legislation until we shall
have experienced a panic" and I'VE
came nearer Il panic September 80,
19O2, than most people appreciate. We
do not need and must not have intla-
ton. The average amount of money
is, in my judgment. abundant. The
difficulty lies in the fact that the
volume remains stationary oh! we
must not have imitation. Why Secre-
tary Shaw must know that imitation
is going on every hour and minute.
The treasury circulation statement
for August 1, 1905. shows an infla-
ton of the total money in circulation
of $5S.312.IS9 from the same date in
1904, of which So4,047,011 was an in
fiation of national bank notes alone.
This imitation was intensified during
July of this year. which is included
In the total already given, for during
that month the increase in the circu-
lation of national bank notes was S.
251,5S9 or ut the rate of over one
hundred millions year.
How is that for imitation? Yet
Secretary Shaw says: ''the difficulty
lies in the fact that the volume of
money remains stationary" The Sec
rotary of the Treasury also seems to
have overlooked the enormous gold in
flation that is in progress of over
seventy millions of dollars per annum
aNi steadily increasing.
On top of al this imitation the Sec
rotary of the Treasury would give
the national banks the right to issue
an amount of currency equal to so
per cent of their bonds deposited in
the treasury by paying per cent,
upon which the treasury has already
issued to the banks full face value.
That, according to Shaw, is not in
over its annual debauch of dear
money, Ito move the crops''-that is
to move the crop of undigested securi-
ties
President Roosevelt should call
down Mr.. Shaw, or he will make the
financial end of his administration
a laughing stock to the world. let
alone to our own people. With the
tariff fostered trusts holding up prices
and imitation helping to initiate the cost
of living. those Republican policies are
making the lot of those with limited
incomes hard one to bear.

Frenzied Finance and Elections.

President McCall's liberality with
other peoples money is no new trait
of frenzied finance. Over $500, 900 ap-
pears to have been used by the New
York Life Insurance Company to cor
rupt State legislatures besides $780,
600 subscribed for the purchase of
votes by the Republican National
Committee. Restitution of this latter
amount by the committee to the
widows and orphans of the insured
appears as far off as before the scan
dial was discovered, though it is stat
ed Mr. Cortelyou, the chairman, has
balance of 100000 in the hands
of the treasurer. which could not be
used to advantage in the late cam
paign. The Democratic committee did
not have as much contributed alto
gether as the balance still held by the
Republicans. The Republicans could
have elected ''yaller dog" with the
money they had to debauch the doubt
full States.

BUYING OF FURNITURE.


The Importance of Not Getting More
Than Is Actually Needed.
The buying of furniture is one of the
most difficult things in the equipment
of home, and 1t is singular fact
that many stores which are loaded
with furniture to the roof offer little
serious aid in this most important
task, says American Homes and Gar
dens. The furniture man has. of
course, to suit many tastes and meet
many requirements; his wares are apt
to be most various and diverse. They
consist, without exception, of goods
of two great classes, good furniture
and bad furniture. These he displays
with-so much art that the good is thor
oughly mixed with the bad In his
heart of heart he doubtless knows that
the bad furniture is not worthy to
sell; but he probably regards n bad
chair sold rs a piece of good business
and he calmly leaves the selection to
his customer. If the buyer cannot dis
tinguish between good furniture and
bad 1t is none of his business. He is
there to sell goods. He very likely
would not understand what was meant
by the immortality of selling bad
chair or an evil-looking table.
1t Is obvious that the great rule in
furniture buying is excellence-excel-
lence of materials. excellence of form.
excellence of style. excellence In util-
ity. The word, in fact, sums up in one
way or another about all the require
ments that can be demanded of mod
ern furniture. There are, of course,
various degrees of excellence in furni-
ture. for a single piece may he made
of good materials and well made to
boot and yet be thoroughly ill-adapted
to modern needs and quite useless as n
household convenience.
Another helpful rule in furniture
buying is not to buy too much. With
persons of average means this advice
may seem supertluous, for even a mod
crate amount of new furniture costs
a considerable gum. But the happy
housewife, Intent on making her home
attractive, is very apt to buy more
than she needs and to buy Rlaces which
