The bill that will pass the senate will

OF POLITICAL IMPORT.

THE Santo Domingo treaty which
promised to involve us with foreign ma.
tions, has been laid on the shelf in the
senate. The Democrats Gid it with their
little caucus.
More than half the Republican
congressman are fearing defeat at the
next election and many declare they
will not be candidates. They feel that
the voters are determined on a new
deal and a reform congress. Democrats
are selecting their best men in the con-
gressional districts as candidates and
organizing for a sweeping victory.
THE administration is making a
bluff at the sugar trust, but the way

and beef will never be reasonable un-
I'll the trusts are divorced from the
railroads and the protection the tariff
gives them is removed.

prohibitive tariff on agricultural prod

lot or title of the tariff tax law, don't

The Republican organs fear ruin
for the poor railroads in consequence
Of Ohio's two-cent fare law. These

went to the table where the meat was
laid out ready to feed them, and cut a
hole in each piece of meat and put in
n double handful of horseradish. and
Just then the feeder came along n
began to throw the meat in the cages.
Gee, but those carniyorous n
mails are bad enough, even II you
give them nice boiled sirloin steak, and
they fight enough over it, at any time,
but when they began to chew and tear
the meat. and get horseradish hot from
the griddle, they didn't do a thing.
The audience thought the animals
would kill everybody. The big lion
got his meat down, but it didn't set
well, and he turned a somersault,
and snarled, and pulled the bars OF the

sHIP-sussIpY UP AGAIN.
Republicans Trying to Pay Old
Debts to the Steamship
Trust.

The Washington Star is authority
for the statement that: President
Roosevelt told Representatives Hum
phrey, of Washington, and Minor. OF
Wisconsin, that he regarded the ship
subsidy bill as the most important
question before the country at the
present time, next to the railroad rate
bill and the construction of the Panama
CANAL How the president arrives at
the conclusion that a subsidy, to be
mostly paid to the steamship trust. Is
| one of the most important pieces OF
legislation can only be surmised, for
he did not give any reason, good or
bad. But most of the Republican SEN
ators who voted for the bill are said to
have done so to repay d debt the Re-
publican party owes the steamship trust
magnates for campaign funds advanced
when the party needed the money to
defeat the Democrats, who on principle
are opposed to all subsidies to corpora
tions, trusts or individuals. The Re-
publican leaders were pledged when
this large yellow dog" fund was adj
vanced that, in return, the leaders
would pass the ship subsidy bill. Sen
ator Hanna, who made the bargain,
tried to carry out the terms, but so OPP
posed were the people to subsidies that
the bill was laid away in cold storage
to await a more propitious opportunity.
Can it be possible that President Roose-
velt feels bound to help to carry out the
corrupt bargain made by Hanna, as a
partisan necessity? 1t is hardly to be
credited. Five Republican senator's
voted against the bill when it passed the
senate a week or two ago, and amongst
, them were Senators La Toilette and
Spooner. All the senators who are
, known or supposed to favor the cor
porations and those with tainted repu-
> tations voted for the bill, and it is dis
!, h%eartening to find President Roosevelt
in such company. The Democratic
e members of the house of representatives
y are opposing the bill, but secretly hop
ing their political opponents will make
the mistake of passing it, as they thinli
such action will go a long ways towards
defeating for reelection those who vot;
for it. AS the proposed law would be q
: g~rievous imposition Of millions annual
ly upon the taxpayers for the beneff
of a few be~neficiaries, it is rotten il
principle and a dangerous precedent.
