Bailey and Standard Oil.

Two eminent democrats pay their devoirs
to Senator Bailey today because OF the as
closures made In the Grute-Pierce suit at
St. Louis, wherein 1t was related that Sena-
or Bailey had rendered valuable service to
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company (said to be
one Of the Standard Oil group. in helping
that company secure license to do bust
ness in Texas after its original license had
been revoked for violation Of the antitrust
law.
The first national democratic leader who
joyously calls attention to the testimony in
the st. Louis suit is Roger c. Sullivan. He
finds it good chance to hit two birds with
one stone-the two birds being Senator
Bailey and Mr.. Bryan, the democratic Presi-
dent-expectant. Mr.. Sullivan says:
This. looks bad for Senator Bailey II the
statements of Mr.. Pierce are true. Mr.
Bryan has been harping all the time about
the trusts and corporations, and one OF the
things he has against me is that am
mixed up with gas corporation. That is
true, but can say that every cent have in
1t earned. never sought any aid from
the Standard Oil Company. 1 will make
this an issue IL Bryan insists on trying to
read me out of the party. Joe Bailey may
be big man in the party, but he can't get
away with that If Bryan insists on assailing
me-"
The New York American today hugs this
st. Louis testimony to its bosom. and rap
turously discourses on it in an editorial
leader two columns wide and nearly one
column long. 1t begins this way:
Joseph Bailey-Senator Joseph Bailey
Of Texas-has been caught with the goods
on him again 1t may be recalled by those
who interest themselves in the careers of
statesmen who, while pretending to repre-
sent the people, serve the predatory corpo-
rations, that In June last Mr.. Bailey arose
IN the United States Senate, and with his
stainless hands upon his honest heart re-
PEELED with manly indignation the charges
made against him in the Cosmopolitan Mag
azine by Mr. David Graham Phillips"
The editorial continues in the same happy
vein.

try? Or can it be that she is actually re-
duced to the conditions that appear on the

Bacon Differs With BRYAN.

Senator Bacon follows Senator Daniel N
an emphatic protest against Mr. Bryan's
new policy. In an interview he says:
II do not understand that Mr. Bryan
favors government ownership unless the
effort at government control shall prove to
be a failure. 1 do not understand that he
desires that 1t shall be made an issue in the
next campaign. 1 do not believe conditions
will arise which will make the democratic
party favor 1t. 1t has been suggested that It
will be sufficient to vote the proposition down
in the next national democratic convention IL
1t Is attempted to insert a government-own-
ership plank in the platform. AS the mat
ter ter has been preached, this; In my opinion.
should declare aflrmatively that it favors,
as heretofore. complete control and regua-
ton of railroads. and is opposed to che
proposition of their ownership by the gov
eminent.
Mr.. Bacon seems to have read Mr..
Bryan hurriedly. The peerless leader Is
convinced Already that government control
as expressed in the rate regulation law will
fail. For that reason he is urging govern
ment ownership. He wants to prepare his
party and the country for what he con-
siders inevitable. He himself is irrevocab,y
committed, and Is repeating at every
point the sentiments with which he chilled
many of his friends at the Madison Square
.
ship ball has opened, and Mr.. Bryan is the
leading floor manager.
Democrats would do well. however to need
what the Georgia senator Suggests a to the
action necessary. Simply ~ vote down in
convention a resolution declaring for gov
eminent ownership of railroads would be btls
a negative performance. What is required
is a positive performance. The convention
should go on record expressly as opposed to
government ownership. and thus pledge the
party against it. Would Mr.. Bryan accept
presidential nomination at the hands of
such a convention? Try him, and see.
Such a test of the Nebraskan's backbone
came within an ace of being ordered in
1900. Richard Croker saved the day for his
friend. David B. HiA after failing at Lin
coin to induce Mr.. Bryan to give up silver
for the campaign, went to Kansas City re-
solved to put the convention on record. He
desired a place on the platform committee
in order to direct the movement. Ihr Croker
saw the play. and, as has always been be-
lieyed. at the request of Mr.. Bryan kept
Mr.. Hill of that committee. The assign
ment went to Augustus Van Wyck. a coior-
less New Yorker without influence, AS it
was. however. the silver plank OF the Chi
cage platform was reaffirmed in committee
oJ HdJoIIlJ VI oiiiJ ohe' anu Ina. Soee
was cast by the delegate from Hawaii. :.
Had the Kansas City convention at Nc.
Hills instance rejected the silver plank of
the Chicago platform would Mr.. Bryan
have accepted denomination? It seems
unlikely. but it is not certain. He has cart
loads of sand, and at that time his was the
only name under consideration. Had he re-
fused, an extraordinary situation would
have developed. To whom in its distress
would the democracy have turned.

EFFORT TO STOP HAZING.
Forty Students Expelled for Refusal
to Accept Faculty Pledge.

CHICAGO. October 2.-Forty Lake Forest
College students refused last night to sign

indulge in hazing and by the declaration
of President Richard D. Harlan they will
be expelled from the college today. Sixty
students. after mass meeting, decided to
accept the manifesto of the professors.
President Harlan in chapel last Friday
delivered an ultimatum to the students
forbidding hazing. In order that the rule
might be observed more generally he asked
the. students to sign pledge. This they
refused fatty.
President Harlan declared he would give
the students until last night to sign the
agreement If they had not attached their
names by 10 pm. they were to consider
themselves expelled. A mass meeting was
called accordingly and the matter was dis
cussed pro and con. The forty students
refusing to sign the faculty pledge bound
themselves into a collegiate union after
mass meeting and declared they would
fight the faculty to finish. They say they
will cause a strike" and bring out the
sixty signers to their side through SYM

EXPECTS TO RETURN SOON.
Secretary Taft Evidently Does Not
Expect Trouble in Cuba.

That Secretary Taft does not anticipate
any further trouble in the maintenance Of
the provisional government Of Cuba is in
dicated by the fact that he sent a cable
message last night to Mr. Fred c. Carpen-
ter, his private secretary, who is now on
duty at the War Department, saying that
he Secretary Taft does not expect to re-
main in Havana more than two weeks
longer There was nothing in the telegram
to indicate who would relieve him of the
responsibilities Of the governorship of Cuba.
but 1t Is expected that an announcement on
that point will be made within short time.
Another cable message was received at
the War Department from Secretary Taft,
which was addressed to Mrs. Taft. suggest
ing that II she could possibly do SO that
she make short visit to Havana before
his departure for the United States. Mrs.
Taft was with the Secretary at Murray
Bay on the st. Lawrence river when he
was summoned to Oyster Bay and then or
dered to Cuba. Mrs. Taft is now on her
way from Canada to New York, and an
effort will be made to communicate the
Secretary's wishes en- route. It will be an
easy matter for her to 60 to Havana by
way OF Tampa and remain week before
the date hxed for the Secretary's depart
ure for the United States. Mrs Taft is
an accomplished Spanish scholar and would
be perfectly at home In the Cuban capital.

BRYAN AND WILLIAMS.
Speaking Tour for the Two Demo
cratic Leaders Being ARRANGED.

The democratic congressional committee
is now engaged in arranging a speaking
tour for Mr.. William Jennings Bryan and
Mr.. John Sharp Williams, the minority
leader in the House of Representatives
No definite schedule has yet been COM
pleted for either of these DISTINGUISHED
democrats, but it is expected they will both
soon be on the stump.
Mr.. Williams will probably make his an
pearance north Of Mason and Dixon's line
about the 18th Of this month and will
then be prepared to continue his speaking
tour until November 6. Representative
Talbert of the second Maryland district
wants Mr.. Williams to make some speeches
for him and he will probably be assigned
to that duty. He will speak a couple of
days in North Carolina and will also prob
ably go to Pennsylvania to speak in some
of the doubtful districts in that state His
other assignments have not yet been made
but they will soon be arranged.
Mr.. Bryan WILL 1t is expected, make some
speeches In Kentucky where the democrats
have their fighting blood up to high
pitch in several districts that are regarded
as doubtful. He will probably make sever
al speeches in Kentucky. ~~-.~
The assignments that the committee will
make for Mr.. Bryan are looked to with
much interest. especially in view of his gov
eminent ownership talk, which is not re-
garded as good medicine in many locali-
ties. 7~~----rr--v--- -~---

BOGUS POLICE RA1DED GAME.
Two Scotch Arrivals Charge Robbery
in Old. Poker Scheme.

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. October by
means Of a bogus police raid on a poker
game. Alexander and William McWhirter,
two recent arrivals from Scotland, claim to
have been robbed Of $4,000 in this city on
September 8. En- route to Los Angeles the
brothers stopped here and were inveigled
into card game by affable strangers. A
raid was made by two pretended policemen,
one OF whom took, 1t Is alleged. 5000 OF the
$100eO McWhirter had when he sat in the
game. The other Officer attempted to es-
cape from the MeWhirters, but they forced
him to the police station. -
The, stranger conferred with the chief Of
police. George Sheets. and came back with
81 ,000, which was restored to the Scots.
The latter proceeded to Los Angeles,
where they secured counsel and returned to
Salt Lake to prosecute a search for their
money. Chief Sheets says that the man
who brought McWhirter to the station was
not an officer and he did not look into the
trouble at the time because he thought the
trouble was merely some difference Of opin-
ion over business.
