SWAPPING OF TRUST sHAcKLEs.

MTHAT a world Of significance is embodied in
Wv small advertisement that THE JOUR
MAI. has been running on this page, headed TO
Republicans This article appeals to lovers Of
the Republican party and Of the country, to con-
tribute one dollar each for the Congressional cam
paign fund. 1t asks those who approve Of the
administration and policy Of President Roosevelt
to send in their dollar for the necessary expenses
Of conducting the coming canvass which will, in
a measure, tell whether the administration has
The seal OF approval OF the millions Of voters in
this vast nation.
What a change it is! Only few years ago
the method Of raising funds by soliciting dollar
contributions would have been despised and
laughed at Men Of wealth then empted their
pockets and demanded special favors and privi-
leges in return for their contributions They
wished to hold mortgage on both political par
ties Mostly they contributed to the Republi-
cans because they knew the Republican policies
were more than likely to win popular approval
The Democrats also eagerly seized all the contri-
buttons of this nature that came their way.
The announcement that the Republicans this
year would not gather money from the trusts and
other exploiters was quickly followed by plan
OF the Democrats to raise their meagre funds by
the same methods. Both parties are to be con-
graduated upon their policies. The last year or
so demonstrated what great scandal turks in the
collection and dispensing Of huge campaign funds.
1t is against these evils that Theodore Roose-
welt firmly set his face His Influence has halted
the levying OF tributes upon the trusts and his
wish has brought the conduct Of the coming CAM
paign close to the hearts of the people
The action of the President has been received
with widespread approval The party at the end
of the next victorious campaign will be absolutely
free from suspicion of sinister influences. No cor
poration or no group of men that regard govern
ment as a means for enhancing their own hnan-
cia fortunes, can take the party by the throat
and extort favors or privileges. The people will
come into their own.
That little article, "To Republicans tells a
mighty tale. 1t snaps the shackes that has bound
politics in this country in recent years to sordid,
selfish debasing pundering commercialism 1t
sounds the bugle Of freedom and its answer from
the people will be as clear and inspiring as a
mountain echo. Let the dollars roll in.

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's S
personality must be a central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work Of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tions Of One Dollar each from Repub-
lioans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help US achieve great victory.

This means that not only the frame

material OF the new cars will be of
steel and non-combustible in every

The new car IS absolutely non-col-

any collision. Its hidden frame is like

heavy steel girders. the principal feat

the length OF the coach. In the past
railroads have found that when trains
collided and the body of one car rose
above the body of the next there was
tendency for the underframe Of the
first car to sweep the superstructure
OF the second car off its underframe.
In the new equipment this Is prevented

No Wood to be Used.
It is the policy of the Pennsylvania
Railroad to eliminate eventually even
the smallest amount of wood or other
burnable material in its cars. In the
experimental car the seats are Of steel
frame. covered with firproof plush. The
foot rests are also of steel. For the
present the arm rests are of wood, but
experiments are now being made with
varius metals in the effort to secure
a non-combustible material which will
not be cold to the touch.
A coupler arrangement of a new
type. stronger than anything ever used
before has been designed to avoid any
possibility of breakage and the re-
sultant parting of trains.
The company has been making elab-
crate tests 10 ascertain the effect OF
the temperature of the atmosphere on

wooden car. II is found that in hot
weather the difference is very slight
and that the steel car shows decided

1900 Steel Cars to Be Built.

The new car weighs 103.550 pounds,
against $4,000 for the standard wooden
coach but it is found that the added
weight very greatly reduces the vibra-
tion and adds to the comfort Of the
passengers No inconsiderable part of
the additional weight is due to the
great burden involved in carrying stor-
age batteries and battery boxes All
the new cars are to be lighted by
electricity. and the Pennsylvania win
