Republican Machines Collide,

The denomination of Shelby NJ. Cul-
lom for United States senator by the
Republicans shows the power of politi-
cal machines managed by the federal
officials. Yet to beat such a tainted
politician as Dick Yates is not much
of a victory. for the state machine that
Yates created when governor was
tarred with the same brush, only per
haps a dirtier one than that which be-
smeared the Cullom crowd.
The Republicans of Illinois have for
some time been sick Of Cullom, as they
were surely tired of Yates, but the Re
publican candidates that have appeared
against Cullom have been VIGOROUSLY
unfit. The small vote polled at the
primary elections just held shows what
a large proportion of the Republican
voters refused to take part in the con-
test. That lack of interest is ominous
of trouble for the Republican party
when election ~

ROOSEVELT REFORMS.
Republican Reformcrs Are Impotent
Without Democratic Help.

Railroad rate legislation and other
reforms could not have been enacted
without the votes of Democratic con
gressmen unless Republicans had been
united for them in both branches Of
congress. 1t is certain that at least
there would have been no Republican
majority for the rate bill in the senate
if the Democrats had opposed it, When
the railroads and their congressional
friends saw that there were enough
Republicans who would vote with the
Democrats to pass the bill they at one
decided to make the best of Il bad bar
gain and accept conditions they could
not overcome. Their efforts were then
turned to amending the bill so that, if
not rendering it unconstitutional, it
would do the least possible damage to
the corporations. The appeal of Pres
ident Roosevelt to Senators Bailey and
Tillman for aid to pass the. rate bill
before he had been able to make the
deal for the Allison amendment, when
he then threw his allies overheard,
proves that the bill could not have
passed without Democratic votes.
Senator Foraker names a number of
members of congress from Ohio who
opposed President Roosevelt's policies,
and others might be named from near
ly every state who were also known to
be opposed to them until the fact was
shown that enough Republicans would
vote with the Democrats to pass some
Of the measures.
The statehood bill was first passed
through the house, with the Democrats
opposing it. 1t was then a party and
partisan measure, but when the Demo
cratic senators and some Republicans
adopted the Foraker amendment, CIV
ing the people Of Arizona the right to
vote on joint statehood, the Republican
partisans Of the house held up the bill
until Mr.. Williams, the Democratic
leader, filibustered and compelled the
Republican majority to accept the ref
erendum amendment. Mr.. Roosevelt
found himself helpless to prevent this,
because he was not backed by the
Democrats, and has since advised the
Republicans Of Arizona to vote for
joint statehood, threatening them that
unless they succeeded they would not
get admitted for years.
The defeat Of the Santo Domingo
treaty is another instance where Mr..
Roosevelt was defeated because his
policy did not appeal to the Democrats.

SHIP SUBSIDY.
Make Certain You Do Not Vote to
SubaidiZc q Trust.

Before voting for any congressman
ask him how he stands OF ship sub
sidy. If he is a Democratic candidate
he is certain to reply he is opposed to
subsidies of all kinds and especially Il
subsidy to a trust, as the Morgan steam
ship combine is. Ask your Republican
neighbor how the Republican candidate
for congress stands on ship subsidy,
and If he does not know urge him to
question the candidate of his party.
The steel trust charges $4,000 more to
the shipbuilders Of this country for the
steel frames and plates to build a ship
than it does to shipbuilders of other
countries. Congressman Spight. who
was also q member Of the merchant
marine commission, in his speech in
congress, which will be found in the
Congressional Record Of June q, 1906,
page 9601, showed by the testimony
taken before the commission not only
that the trust sold cheaper abroad than
here. but that the trust magnates and
other stand patters are behind the
scheme.
In those states where United States
senators are to be elected the candi-
dates for the legislature should be
pledged to vote for no man for senator
who favors ship subsidy.

Government by Injunction.

preserve individual rights. Now, a
right is an acknowledged claim. Our
constitution acknowledges the claim Of
every man to freedom Of thought and
speech and to trial by jury for any Of
Tense against the law with which he
may BE charged. But government by
injunction is Il denial Of all these rights
or acknowledged claims. For this
reason 1t Is that the Democratic party
opposes government by injunction MS
interpreted, and such government re-
suits in II denial Of justice under the
constitution,

BANK INSPECTION.
Laxity of Federnl and State lnspec-
ton RespOnsIblc For Fnilures.

ton R~esDOnsIblc For Failures.
The failure of the Real Estate Trust
Company of Philadelphia appears to De
the most disastrous of the many bank
and trust companies that have lately
failed. Outside of the banking bust
ness the total trusteeship involves $780,
65l,OS2. 1T Is said the securities are
safe, but nothing is known of the trust
funds. 1t is conceded that $7,OOO,OOO
OF the depositors' money has been
swallowed up in speculation. 1t was
to be expected that the rotten Penrose-
Pe%nnypacker Republican machine,
which controls the execution of the
banking laws, should have reported the
institution in sound condition a few
months ago, but the disaster shows
that any inspection that was made was
either a farce or there was collision
betWeen the officials and the corpora
tons. The national bank inspection
OF national banks shows Il similar laXi-
ty, as the failure of the Walsh banks
at Chicago lately indicated.
There must be a more thorough in
SpectiOn of all banks and trust COM
panies to protect the people who are
depositors from the looters who ap-
pear to nave possession Of many tidu-
ciary institutions, and President Roose-
welt SHOULD see that the young man
he appointed comptroller Of the cur
rency attends to his business instead
Of spending most of his time in the
factional Illinois Republican squab-
bles. Attention to the banks will pay
the people far better than trying to
force fads like phonetic spelling on
them.
Governors Of states must be forced
by public opinion to see that the
state banking institutions be thorough
ly examined and the securities held in
vestigated. The directors of banks and
trust companies must be made respon-
sible for the soundness Of the institu-
lions they direct, instead of, as in most
cases, merely drawing pay for occa-
sional meetings. Honest bank officials
will not object to publicity Of all trans
actions to the directors, and the bank
inspectors are paid to see that the
public is protected. Depositors in
banks know nothing of what is done
with their money, and no foresight of
theirs can make their money safe.
Banks and trust companies are incor-
porated either by the federal or state
government, and the law provides or
should provide for strict inspection to
protect the people from dishonesty and
incompetency.

A Strong Endorsement.

Thos. Dunford who has the agency in
Cavalier county of the Singer sewing

following high endorsement Of the line

is further enhanced by the fact that it

This is to certify that | bought a
Singer sewing machine in the fall of

The Truth About Christmas.
(Bryan,s Commoner.l

It's the easiest thing in the
world to buy Christmas presents
If you have the money. The
real problem comes when you
are confronted by an empty
purse. You want to remember
loved ones, but you are the vic
tim Of a false pride that dictates
that you should make your gifts
of some intrinsic value rather
than the expression of love. This
sort of notion has robbed the
Christmas season of its true
meaning and caused it to degen-
crate into an exchange, a bazaar,
or a display Of ostentatious liber-
ality,
