CAMPAIGN BLOOD MONEY

Sometimes it takes a long time fol
the wheel to turn; then again it re-
wolves sooner than one would expect
In respect to the iniquities of the Re-
publican campaign funds in the las
presidential canvass the turn wasn'1
have liked, by a good deal. And now
we are to have the spectacle of the
responsible heads of the organization
that elected Roosevelt. especially the
cat-like and SNUG Cortelyou and the
! eminently respectable Bliss, on the
stand telling where they got it."
OF course, where they got it every
one already knows; it is no secret
The big corporations put up"-es-
pecially did the big insurance COM
panies put up" Every one knew this
at the time; Judge Alton B. Parker
openly and boldly proclaimed it, only
to get the retort discourteous from the
square" Roosevelt himself But this
didn't alter the facts strenuous as
were the denials, the evidence was
plain at the time and events have
merely confirmed what was then as
serted.
And now the responsible heads-Cor-
telyou, Bliss ct al.-are to be compelled
to tell to a committee and make legal
in the records the story Judge Parker
proclaimed in 1904, which they denied
at the time. They will, if the courts
succeed in unlocking their lips, inform
the publiqSjust how much of the trust
funds for widows and orphans the Re-
publicans squeezed from the insurance
companies that Roosevelt might be
president. that Cortelyou might be
postmaster general and that Bliss and
the corporate interests he represents
might continue to enjoy the good
things" which under Republican au-
spices they possess. And a nasty tale
it will be, too.
But don't for an instant suppose
that this revelation will be made vol
unfairly. 1t will be fought to the last
moment. Nor will the aforesaid COM
mittee put it back"-not much! The
Republican national committee isn't in
the habit of returning blood money. 1t
isn't organized for that purpose. The
funds given it illegally were doubtless
as illegally expended; they are gone
and none there is to replenish the de-
pleted exchequer.
However. there will be two elements
of satisfaction if the investigation is
properly carried out. The proof of who
lied in 1904 and the disclosure of the
hypocritical rottenness of that famous
square deal" canvass, with its conse-
quent reign of trusts and theft and
combinations and bribery and graft
and civic nastiness generally. And
maybe the holy Mr.. Cortelyou and the
SNUG Mr.. Bliss will then be put in
their proper class along with Platt and
DePhew and a few more of their ilk.
