HAPPY, THOUGH RICH.
BY DUNCAN n. SMITH

It is easy 10 be happy
II the rent is overdue
When you own the blooming building
And the rents TO come to you.
While the other fellow hustles,
Sweating blood and growing thin.
You can climb into your auto.
Very likely. for a spin.
1t is easy to be happy
When your wife desires a dress
II your fortune. though uncertain,
Has seven figures, more or less.
You. can yawn and read your paper
And with great complacence say,
s'Sure; get twenty when you're gettinf
Or dozen anyway"
IT is easy to be happy
II some simple friend you know
Who viii stake you for a dollar
When your coin is running low,
Who will come and force 1t on you
And forget about the loan.
Who will make you use his money
Just as though it were your own.
Yes, this thing of being happy
Is as simple as a play.
II you only have the money,
You can seldom lose the way.
Oh. they say, you cannot buy 1t,
But II that is really true
You can get an imitation
That Will very nicely do!

Hearst's Opinion of the Charge Made
by Leader Murphy,

tic welcome to Hearst There was q
big crowd waiting at the station when
the Hearst train arrived, which packed
TO suffOcation the Opera House. where
he spoke. As the procession of car
riages passed from the station to the
hall the streets were lined with cheer
ing people. Hearst was greeted with
continued cheering, while hundreds OF
flags in the hands of the audience fiut-
tered in greeting. The most striking
part of the address was Hearst's de-
mand for more equal distribution of
wealth. With the Ogdensburg meet

country"
Hearst was shown the Associated
Press dispatch setting forth Charles F.

sentatives of the independence League
had demanded money for the with
drawal of the League candidates, and
said: Il imagine Murphy's vague
charge is a campaign roorback. If he
has any reasons to sustain such a
charge it is his duty, as of all Ameri-
can citizens, to administer the most
singing rehuke possible at the polls

He Declares 1t Is the Negro Question
Crisis at Hand.

Chicago. Oct. 19.-Announcement Of
a carefully planned campaign to Sc
cure the repeal of the fifteenth amend
ment of the constitution of the United
States, that which gives the negro
equality with the white nan as cit
izen, was made by Governor James K.

geons' convention. Governor Varda-
man, who is seeking election to the
United States senate. declared that II

house of congress he would make his
fight on the floor of that body, be-
lieving that he had the support Of the
entire south
lie insisted that crisis in the rela-
ton Of the races in the southern states
was at hand and the problem of white
supremacy or black domination should
be settled at once He declared that
education and civil equality only
made the negro More criminal and an
imal, and that by abrogating the fif-
teenth amendment he would be put
where he belonged. Nobody denied a
difference between white and Chinese
or Indians, and there was just as wide
a difference between the white and the
black.
How soon do you expect this erisis?''
1T is nearly due, said Governor Var
daman. THE matter of white suprem-
acy or black domination in the south is
at fever heat and the sooner the north
and the west realizes this the better it
will be for the nation"

Tammany Leader Charges the
Independence League with
Extorting Money.
He IS SUMMONED TO MAKE GOOD
Says the League Demanded Cash to
Withdraw Candidates.
Hearst Managers Positively Deny the
Allegation, While Murphy Ex-
Onerates Hearst-Oth-
er Politics.

New York, Oct. 19.-The most start
ling development in the present politi-
cal campaign in this state came when
Charles F. Murphy. leader of Tam
many Hall, publicly charged that mon
ey had been demanded by representa-
tfves Of the Independence League in
consideration of the withdrawal of
their candidates in certain districts,
and the subsequent serving upon Muir
ply of a subpoena to appear before
the grand jury in John Doe" pro-
ceedings and testify as TO his charges
The subpoena was issued by District
Attorney Jerome after a conference
with Judge Otto A Rosalsky, of the
! court of general sessions, who Muir
ply intimated had given up money for
the Endorsement of the League
Denial Made by the League.
In his statement Murphy charged
that certain independence League man
ayers had demanded money for the
withdrawal OF their candidates in con-
greSsional, senatorial and assembly dis
tricts where a third ticket had been
put in the field. He added, however,
that William r. Hearst. the Independ-
ence League and Democratic candidate
for governor, knew absolutely nothing
of what was going on In this connec-
ton. The Independence League head
quarters made a positive denial of
Murphy's charges. adding that if any
one connected with the organization
had attempted to hold up" candidates
they would be glad to know of it.
Murphy Makes His Meaning Clear.
Murphy charged that 1.-THE managers
of the Independence League at the
Gilsey House are holding up candi-
detes for cash" do you mean that
the individual candidates Of the indie
pendence League are holding up Tam
many Hall candidates for money, or
is it being done by the managers of
the Independence League at the Gil
sey House," Murphy was asked. 81
mean the managers. They have a lot
Of them up there, but | don't know
who they are. I mean the managers"
reiterated Murphy.
Thinks Some One Got Money.
Murphy said that the nominations
made by Tammany Hall in this city
would be insisted upon regardless of
any action taken by the independence
League. There is a disposition on
the part of the Hearst managers not
to withdraw the name of Judge Rosal-
Sky. What do you think of it," Muir
ply was asked. Il think that some
one got some of his money" the Tam
many leader replied. Judge Rosalsky
was nominated for the court of gener-
al sessions by the Republicans, and
his candidacy was Endorsed by the In
dependence League.

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AZ
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, July 2S.-Neyer, probably,
since the production of coal in the
central west reached sufficient proper
tons to be of great commercial i'm
portance, has the market for these
western Goals been in worse condition
than it is at the present time. Not
but what the market has been equally
dull in the past, or prices as low. But
each year since the boom of 1903 has
seen the opening of new mines and
the expansion of the older operations,
till the producing capacity in Illinois
and Indiana has been enormously in
creased, with no commensurate
growth of consumption. Under such
circumstances light market is so far
below the requirements of even Tue
most restricted basis of production
that steadiness at once becomes i'm
possible because of the struggle which
at once begins for possession of what
little business is available. The con-
teest, instead of being for a share Of
profits, often becomes almost fight
for life, For this reason the phrase
Business light, but prices firm" fire.
quently used Of the more eastern BIZ
luminous products, is seldom appli-
cable to western Goals.

WAS HE A MURDERER?
Sensational Runners Afoat Concern
ing Recent Suicide.

Some ugly stories are current con-
corning the man, Tim Burke, who kill
eed himself at Rose Hill Friday morn
ing by stabbing. The rumor is afloat
that Burke has killed his companion,
known as Shorty" 1t is known that
Burke and his companion started for
Oskaloosa Thursday. Burke returned
in a short time and seemed strangely
agitated about something. He is said
to have admitted Thursday evening
that he had made way with Shorty,
and if he hadn't he was in a bad fix
wherever he was"
The coroner heard these stories and
thought enough of them to make in.
vestigation of some of the rumors.
The fact remains that Shorty" has
disappeared, nor can he be found or
located anywhere. Searching parties
were out Saturdy and Sunday securing
the woods near Rose Hill, but nothing
could be located. The people of the
vicinity are looking for additional de,
velopments of the case.
A telegram to Coroner Chas. Foeh'
linger from the chief of police of West
field, Mass, states that they have To-
Gated the father and he instructs that
the body be inferred in oskaloosa.
