CAREER
OF JOHN E. MCDONALD

NEW YORK. July 2-That John z.
Mcdonald. who was killed in the big
accident at Salislury, England. yester-
day. should have met death in a rail-
way accident seemed a strange fate. for.
like many men who have been engaged
in speculation all their lives, he was in
constant fear OF an accident or a sud
den Illness that woul1 take him away.
When the news OF his death became
known around the Hoffman and the
Waldorf. where most of his friends con-
gregate and live, this was the general
comment, and mixed with the express
siOns of regret was almost a horror
stricken surprise tlat his passing should
have come about in this way. He was
about fifty years old
Commanded Notice.
Since the early eighties John f. Nc
Donald had been a figure In the turf
world that stood out and commanded
notice. He was a born and bred New
Yorker and 1t was through the turf that
he made or laid the foundation for his
large fortune, which common report
places in tho neighborhoOd OF several
millions or late years he was active
in politics and was extensively interest
ed in Wall Street specuIations. in nearly
all of which he was highly successful
There Is, in fact, record Of only one
big deal in which he bore the losers
end, and this was the ice stock affair
in which Mcdonald accused ex-Mayor
Van Wyck and John Carroll Of causing
him TO lose $4,000. He later instituted
suit for this amount against the Palmer
estate.

Now that the new tax laws have
met the requirements for which they
were created-raising the revenue
of the state--for what purpose is
only known by Governor Dawson
and other politicians of the state,
and, as the next Legislature, the
candidates for which were named
by Dawson, Eikins, ct al, will of
course be Republican, the laws will
be amended. But not until ,hous-
an6s of dollars of the innocent tax
payers Of the states have been ex-
acted and squandered. The farmers
taxes have been increased this year
instead of decreased, some of them
for $50 to $40 more than they were
last year, and agreat deal more than
they were in 1904. But the nee
essary sum has probably been raised
by the increase in taxation this year
and will probably be lowered again
next year in order TO deceive and
mislead the innocent voter.
Dawson is a shrewd politician
but when that is said "he's all in. "
Notwithstanding the fact that he
took Senator Tillman into his con-
fidence last winter, when the rail-
road rate bill was being made TO
suit the railroads, and other great
corporations in the United State
Senate, and the Governor was max
ing a grandstand play on behalf of
the plain people Of his state, telling
the Senator that he (Tillman) was
nearer right than Senator Elkins,
yet today the Governor is in favor
and will assist in returning Senator
Elkins to the United States Senate
to guard the interests of railroads
and other great corporations of this
country.
Whether the railroads and other
great corporations have contributed
their share of taxation to state and
nation will never be known by the
farmers and laboring men of the
state, who have nothing to conceal
when the assessor comes around.
But the great transaction done.
Enough revenue has been raised
this year by increased taxation to
pay the salaries Of all the little one
horse officers, created by the famous
new tax laws. The new tax laws,
as stated by the senior senator
from West Virginia a short time
ago "need some changes" But 1t
was not intended 10 change them
until they had been enforced one
year-that would raise the required
amount of revenue and then they
could be amended and the dear PEG
pie would be none the wiser, but
somewhat poorer. What other great
move has our great Governor in
store for his subjects

ORGANIZATION NEEDED.
Patriotic Democrats Must Take the
Lead.

AAuiOic democrats must TAKE the
Lead.
The late election may fairly be
called a drawn battle, for while the
Democrats lost ground in some
states, they gained about IS seats
in the House of Representatives,
reducing the Republican majority
from over one hundred to about
fifty. The general trend of the
election showed gains for the
Democrats in the cities due to the
aid Of organized labor and stand
still vote in the country, which re-
quires more information before ac-
counting for it. 1t is hardly
probable that farmers endorsed the
standpat tariff doctrine which plum
ders them and enriches the trusts
and corporations, yet many farmers
were evidently too busy or too well
satisfied to take the trouble to vote.
The more complete organization
and the money of the tariff pro-
tected trusts enabled the RepubIi-
cans to bring out the vote of their
regular supporters, while the lack
OF the necessary money to pay for
team and workers, led to many
Democrats staying away from the
polls. The result of the election
therefore shows that the great need
of the Democrats is more
thorough organization and this
work should at once be undertaken
by the party committees who are in
charge OF the organization. Such
work can be but very partially ac-
complished in the heat Of a cam
paign and to put it off until presl-
dental nomination is made is to
invite another defeat.
There IS no doubt that more than
half the voters Of the United States
are either Democrats, or believe IN
Democratic policies, but if unor.
gained they cannot be brought 10
the polls and counted. Instead of
waiting, however, for the leaders
to move the Democratic workers in
every township and county should
take account Of stock and find out
how many reliable Democrats there
are in their locality and then urge
action by the state committees to
supply the necessary literature and
arguments to win over the doubtful
and independent voter.
There is lots Of work to be done
in the next two years and patriotic
Democrats will have to do il and
thus enthuse those who otherwise
would lag in the reforms that are so
much needed.
