PITY IT'S IT'S TRUE.

One of the leading journals of the
country says: The highest finan-
cial rewards of politics are no long
er Offices, but contracts, franchises
and special privileges" j"
Another great Journal says:
The cheap rewards of political
place count for little now in politi-
cal manoeuvres. The boss is no
longer the man who distributes
patronage. The real boss is the
railroad man, the traction man, the
insurance man, the man who is will
ing to contribute enormous sums to
the campaign fund, if only his own
interests be left safe or his ne W
projects be aided"
''Protection', which means
favoritism is the price paid by the
officials, high and low, ii return
for contributions, The corpora
tions pay tribute to the party in
power; and the party in power
gives the corporations the privi-
lege of plundering the people with
impunity. "Protection", in the
form of high tariffs, franchises,
false certificates like those given to
the beef trust, and immunity from
punishment for crimes, is the pol
icy now.

A REPUBLICAN, PREDICTION

That erudite and trust controlled
republican purveyor of news, the
New York Sun, in late issue says;
The Sun Graves permission to
present its humble service to the
supreme powers at Oyster Bay, to
Messers. Platt and Depew, to the
new and austere hierarchy of Odell
and associates, to one Frank Way
land Higgins, the putative COVER
nor of the state of New York, and
to all the soberminded and self
respecting republicans to whose
confidence it can appeal and with
all Difference and respect submits:
The next governor of the state
of New York will be democrat.
The next governor of the state
of New York will be the next presi-
dent of the United States"
Yet after all the Sun may be mis-
taken and the next governor Of
New York may not be the next
president of the United States.
But its prediction shows the demo-
cratic trend of public opinion and
that even republicans see the prob
able downfall of the party of trusts,
protection, graft and scandals.

EFFECTOF PASSAGE OF THE
FREE ALCOHOL BILL.

The passage of the free alcohol
bill will have the effect of vastly
stimulating the production of po-
tatoes and sugar beets," said DR..
Jean Robert Moechel. expert
chemist. DR.. Moechel is one of
the leading chemists of the coun-
try, and has studied the question of
alcohol production for many years.
He was one of the leaders in the
agitation for free alcohol which be-
gan twenty years ago, and he is
greatly pleased that the efforts of
the scientific bodies and others
have at last succeeded,
There is danger, however"
said DR.. Moechel. that the public
will get wrong ideas of the imme-
diate effects Of the passage OF the
bill and of the ease cheapness of
the production of alcohol. The
people of this country are preclp-
itate and they are in such tre men
dous hurry. Many careless and
misleading statements have been
made, sometimes by those who
should know better. There are
scores of substances from which
alcohol may be made, but it is non
sense to say that from all these sub
stances it can be made in CONNER
cial quantities or at commercial
price.
II think l suggested among the
first the manufacture of alcohol
from garbage, but | am in great
doubt as to the feasibility of MAX
ing alcohol from this substance in
discriminatory in paying quantities
or adequate strength. Certain
kinds of garbage. that which is
rich in starch, might be utilized
but to say that the vast mass of
sewage and garbage of a great city
can be turned into alcohol at ten
or fifteen cents gallon is non
sense.

Girls VS. Boys.

Last Sunday morning at the
Presbytesian Church there we're
20 women and girls, 10 men and
boys, with but 2 boys between the
ages Of 8 and 81 years. This is
about the proportion seen at other
churches, and about the same as
found in graduating classes in the
schools.
Why is it boys do not take
advantage of the privileges they
have as girls do2 ia many banks
and business houses responsible
positions are filled by young wom-
en- because they seem to be better
qualified than the young men.
This is something for young men

ia all-this time to restrain the
abuses. I" Taft knew this to- be
utterly false. He knew, for in
stance, that the Tillman-G Gillespie
resolution under which the Stand
ard Oil and the railroads are now
being investigated was of demo-
cratic origin. He knew that the
Tillman bill to prohibit corpora
tions from contributing to party
corruption funds,-a bill which
passed the Senate, but was opposed
by Root, Roosevelt, and Taft so
that it failed in the House-was of
democratic origin, He knew that
the democrats in congress have
introduced numberless measures
designed to curb the trusts by
abolishing the tariff duties on trust
made goods. He knew that nearly
every democratic state had
established a railroad commission
to prevent extortions and dis
ordinations by the railroad COM
panies. In fine, Taft knew that he
was evading the truth and gloried
in what he was doing. Let him
read what Roosevelt has written
about liars, and he will probably
think less of himself unless Roose-
velt has told him not to believe
such things.

NEARLY HALF A BILLION
EXCESS.

The republican party promised
to be economical in the administra-
ton of public affairs. Senator
Culberson of Texas shows that this
pledge, like other republican party
pledges, has been violated. The
showing made by Senatoa Culber-
son is amazing, Take a look at his
figures:
The total expenditures for 1903,
1904, 1905, and 1906-four years
of Roosevelt administration we're
50, 933, ,0O4, 400. Deducting the
Panama canal expenditures, it
amounts to $2,666, ,421, 800.
The expenditures for the years
1898, 1899, 1900, and 1901 four
years of the Mckinley administra-
ton S2,430, ,316, ,399,
Exclusive of all expenses in the
Panama canal for the four years of
Rooseyelt's administration, the
expenditures exceeded those of the
four years of Mckinley administ-
ration although he conducted the
Spanish war-by the extraor-
dinary sum of S434, ,104, ,699,
