ERON OTHER PENS
!. sIGNIFIcANT sENTENcE.

What seems to the Post the most. sig
nif1cent point in President Roosevelt's
letter to Representative Watson, of In
diana, is this brief sentence: If there
were only partisan issues involved in
this contest. I should hesitate to say
anything publicly in reference thereto
the fact that President Roosevelt,
through members of his official family,
has taken an active part in state cleo
lions from 1902 to 1906 both inclusive,
a more prominent part than was taken
by any one of his predecessors, that re-
mark seems to prove that he has doubts
as to the prOpriety Of such interference.
Fairly construed, the presidents words
could we'll be cited as proof that he
holds nOnpartisanship to be the duty
of the federal administration; that. in
asmuch as the administration holds on
for four years, regardless as to how
the people vote in the congressional
elections in the middle Of the term. 1t
is the duty of the administration to give
attention only to the public duties with
which it is charged by the states and
the people, leaving the states and the
people free to choose their local officials
and their representatives and senators
in congress as we'll as their members Of
the electoral college, without any med
ding by the agency which they created
to perform the work delegated to the
central authority. If the president
means that, if he harks back to that
ancient theory, he is unquestionably
right. AS this republic must be gov
erned by party for it is inevita Bile that
there will be conflicting theories as to
some of the great questions, old and new
it is self-evidently true that the states,
which under the constitution do all the
electing, and have all the voters, should
not be meddled with in their elections
by the agency employed by them to per-
form certain specified duties for all the
people and compensated therefor by all
the people. That is the true theory, but
it is extremely old-fashioned. It is so
far in the past that in all probability.
it will never be called back. It has re-
ceded further and further into the I'M
relenting past every day for a long,
long time, and both of the great par
ties have powerfully assisted in its re-

The automobile is largely responsible

BROWNE IN SING sing
Customs Inspector Impris-
Oned by officials Trick.

rsw fOfssS, July 27.-Former Gus
toms Inspector Charles G.. Browne is
in Sing Sing prison much to his sur
prise.
Browne thought he was being
brought back from Canada to stand
trial on a charge of fraud against the
United States government, an extra
ditable offense. And SO he was.
But Marshal William Henkel had a
court order committing Browne to
Sing Sing for his part in the famous
Rosenthal -Cohn Browne smuggling
conspiracy Of 1901. punishment for
which Browne had evaded by fleeing
to Canada, whence. on the charge of
which he was convicted, lie could not
be ~extradited,
When, however, the new charge was
brought against Browne on which he
could be extradited and he started for
New York In charge of a secret serv-
ice agent Marshal Henkel got busy.
Sending a deputy to Ponghkeepsie,
the marshaps man boarded the Mont
real express at GAS in the morning,
took charge of the prisoner and, stop
ping the train at Sing Sing, executed
the mandate of the circuit court com
hitting Browne to that institution for
two years.
Browne put up n fight before he
would leave the train. He appealed to
the train crew and fought and strug-
gled.
Browne would not be convinced. He
grabbed the fixtures in the ear and the
platform ratings, and force had to be
used every inch of the way to the
station platform. In the prison office
Browne protested vociferously, but
Blake's papers We're regular, and nc
attention was paid to him.
Browne skipped his bail of $500 In
the summer of 1904 when he learned
that the circuit court of appeals had
confirmed his conviction.
w. Bonynge. of Black. Olcott, Grubel
& Bonynge, declares that the trick b!
which Browne was put in Sing Sins
was a gross violation of internationa
comfy and an insult to the Canadian
government.

quisitor.
The mile was run in 1880 3-5. After a
short delay at the post Kiamesha went
to the front to a good start, followed
by, Aeronaut and Coy Maid. At the
turn into the back stretch Kiamesha
was leading by about one and a half
lengths from Aeronaut, a head before
Coy Maid. In the stretch Coy Maid
was leading. but Bedouin and Inquisi-
tor, who were outrun in the early
stages, began to close, coming from far
back. <
Coy Maid, however, lasted long
enough to win by a head in a hard
drive. Bedouin was second. half a
length before Inqulsitor. Two favorites
won.

1t now seems tnat the question whether not the
prohibition laws of State are greater than the laws
governing interstate will be decided Says
the Louisville COurier-Journal:
IAN important case has been decided in the United
States District Court in Kansas City in regard to
the power OF State to enforce the local option law
by prohibiting the shipping OF whisky to points
without its borders. 1t has for time been a
practice to crcumvent the law in local option States
or counties by the shipment of such packages Re-
Gently Mississippi enacted law prohibiting the sale
of whisky, which imposes heavy fine for such acts
The American Express Company having refused to
transport packages of whisky to that State, local
dstilling company of Kansas City applied to the
District Court and sued out an injunction against
the company to compel it to make sucn shipments
when offered. Upon hearing, Circuit Judge Nc
Pherson refused to grant it, saying that If he were
to do it would result in $50 express agents being
thrown into prison. AS the matter affects q very
large interest engaged in such commerce, it is re-
garded quite certain that the will be carried
to the Supreme Court"
Americans used to think that the one thing that
was more developed in Europe than in the United
States was the tipping custom, but they not think
so now. Recent revelations about the way business
was carried on by the coal dealers in Pennsylvania
have shown American push and enterprise way ahead
of all other countries in this as we'll as in all other
lines of human endeavor. The papers have been full
of stories of colossal graft, brought out by the self
ordered Investigations of the big railroads. notably
the Pennsylvania. The Boston Herald finds it a
good opportunity to say
Further proof of railroad graft on the Pennsy
vania system indicates that ii President Cassatt is

only were sums turned over to increase the number
of cars supplied to move the products of various
mines, but also presents were made to those who had
supervision of the purchase of fuel coal The public
will not be satisfied unless all such grafters dis.
charged, and If that is not done it will be accepted
as evidence that the high officials of the Pennsyl-
vana are not opposed to their employees having in.

to name for that place the venerable and honorable

"But there will be much less money expended in
1908 than there has been in any of the past five or
six campaigns. No life insurance funds will be
handed over to campaign committees, nor will the
officials OF other corporations pass out the stock
holders money in large sums. The one thing against
which the candidates and their managers will be most
careful to guard will be the giving of cause for
charges of corrupt use of money. And it will not
surprise any one who keeps finger on the pubic
pulse and has an ear to the ground if the campaign
is opened with pledges both sides that full ac-
counting for all receipts and expenditures shall be
rendered to the public as early possible after the
election 1t is to the last degree improbable that the
head of any protected trust or combine will ever
again give testimony to having made contributions
to both sides at the request of both committees"
Those who have read the personal" column the
New York Herald prints on its first page, for the
sheer amusement it afforded, are doubt shocked
to learn that what they have regarded as the harm
less effusions of silly sentmentalists, were printed
TOR vile and sinister purpose. The investigating
habit has taken in the Herald, with the usual result
AN account of this investigation, published in the
New York American, contains the following:

and bribery Such disclosures, coming as they do,
after the insurance investigation, cannot but raise
the question in the public mind, What will be the
next line of business in which rottenness of surprs-
ing character will be exposed?"
President Cassatt admits owning coal stock, but
says he got no graft in the form Of commissions or
otherwise
