questions and point out that the
President had deliberately cut out
some parts of the letters he had
written TO Hartman or vice versa,
and that Hartman had evidently
told allthe truth and that Roosevelt
had not, the latter side-stepped
quicker than wink. Me sent for
a whole bunch of newspaper cor
respondents here and told them a
huge cock-and-bull story about a
five million dollar conspiracy TO de-
feat him and his policies and had it
sent broadcast over the country.
OF course, that stopped all talk
about the Hartman correspond
ence aud everybody went to talking
about the great alleged conspiracy
10 defeat the great Il AM" and it
was intended 10 have just exactly
that effect As L have frequently
remarked previously, Mr.. Roose-
welt is good politician and knows
how and when to get to the public
with something he wants the public
to talk about. He did exactly the
same thing a year ago last winter.
When he got into that tangle with
Tillman, Bailey and Chandler con-
cerning the railroad rate bill and
came out of it with some of his tail
feathers plucked, he Immediately
switched the talk to the beef barons
and the meat packers of the country
by showing up the report of his
special commissioners. who said
that the packing houses were filthy
and needed reforming whole lot,
and hence the cry for the cleaning
bill passed by the Congress. The
packers may have needed the legis-
lation given to-them, all right, but
the hue and cry about it stopped
all talk about the Tillman- Bailey
Chandler controversy, and that's
what Roosevelt wanted and got.
This conspiracy business has had
the same effect op the Hartman
controversy and yet no evidence of
any conspiracy has been presented
to the dear public. No names have
been called and every man who has
been suggested as belonging to it,
either has denied it openly and
withoutcontradiction or has proved
an abb. The truth probably is that
no such conspiracy exists only in
the imagination Of the fccund brain
of the President. who knows that
the captains of finance of the
country have no reason to
love him, for his crazy pol
itics have caused values in this
country to shrink over one billion
dollars since 1901. How can such
a thing occur without the common
people, whom he processes to love
so much, losing money as well as

From Washington

The thing that lies nearest the
democratic heart just now, from a
national standpoint, is the coming
election, next August, in the new
State of Oklahoma.
Unless the President turns down
the new state constitution recently
made by convention largely dem
ocrtic in membership, and which
he will not do, there will be an
election down there in August for
whole State ticket, judicial
ticket, legislative ticket, which leg
islatnre elects two United States
Senators. and five members of the
lower house of the Congress. The
domOcrats are anxious to make a
clean sweep of the entire board,
but they have fight oIllheir hands
and they most work to win the
victory 1t should be the desire of
every democrat in the country to
see the new State come into the
Union as democratic State and it
should be his pleasure as well, to
help toward that end. l will tell
him how he can help.
Chairman Griggs. - she Demo
cratic Congressional Committee,
here, has issued call for one dollar
subscriptions 10 send to the State
Chairman of the new State of Okla
homa, to assist our brethren down
there. Let every democrat who
reads this send in his dollar to
Chas. A. Edwards, Secretary,
Democratic Congressional Com
mittee, Washington, ID. CO. He
will receive receipt for the same
which he can transmit to his chill
dren as an heirloom TO show how
he helped to make Oklahoma dem
ocratic. and he may be proud of it.
a dollar is not much to .you who
reads this, but the aggregation of
dollars will help the boys down
there who are fighting the battle of
their lives with the whole of she
republican administration against
them.
Send in your dollars.
All politic.l conversations in the
national capital, these days. are
confined chiefly to the muddlc in
republican party anent the Taft
boom and the Presidents attitude
thereto, a third term for Teddy
and the row he has kicked up over
the Hartman matter and the accu-
sation against the imprisoned
miners out in Utah.
The correspondence between
Roosevelt and Hartman was the
sensation of a day or two here, but

DEAR COURIER:

DEAR COURIER:
If were to make a reply to YOUR
Answer" as Ienthy in proportion.
and then you follow in the same
ratio. you would have to enlarge
your paper and run the risk Of in
furiating your readers.
Thank you for admitting that
you were in error when you at
tackled the BattIetOwn School Board
for what the County Board did.
As to the qualified $500 bid for
the Old Academy Lot, the Commit
tee undertood it was Lizzie Jack
sons bid.

High School for the last month of

Is at low tide you make the Prin-
cipaI's salary SSO.5O per month,
which amount even you must admit
is more than S45>per month. 1t is
true the High Shool Law promul.
gated for 1867 says a SECOND
Grade High School may be run
with an average attendance of 10.
but YOU cannot have an average at
tendance OF ID with an enrolment
OF 10. and the tuition j. charged
for the enrolment and not for the
average attendance. | remember
when the Principal of the Berry
vile High School was paid only
$50 per month out of the public
fund and was allowed To charge
only one dollar per month 70,
pupils in his room and - cents pei
month for pupils in the next room.
You would abolish the tuition
fees and pay the Principal SlOC
per month out of the public fund
and his first assistant $50 per month
(say) out of the same fund. thu,
paying $3.50 per month for ar
average attendance of IL pupils. tc
say nothing of the incidental ex.
penses of running and furnishing
two rooms for said favored 10
And that, too, when the remaining
100 or l75 pupils must be taught
by four (of necessity UNDER paic
teachers.
The Battletown School Boarc
appoints only those who apply
the law requiring a written appli
cation.
As to the 1850 you speak of, the
Board did not know. when In,
teachers were appointed and theii
salaries were fixed, that we would
receive even $500. 1t (thc Board
had heard indirectly that Berry.
vile would get $500. We were
very agreeably surprised to re.
ceive $3.50 long after school hac
opened.
What do you think of man who
will give his time, labor, and brains
Gf he has any, to the services OF
his country for S10a year, without
thanks from some, and has To wear
coat of-mail, and not a human
shin, to ward of the keen shafts OF
others!

need say on this subject, am

Was he also acquainted with

to be an undesirable citizen when
he was guest at the marriage of

know him to be an undesirable
citizen when he was invited to the

dental campaign and New York
politics. Did hc know Mr.. Harri-
man to be an undesirable citizen
whenMr. Hartman was collecting
campaign fundsl II not. then is
not the Presidents Judgment based
solely upon tie accusations which
are being Tried in the courts, and
the truth of hich has not yet been
judicially determined!
The complaint against Mr..
Roosevelt is not made in defense
of Mr.. Moyer, Mr.. Haywood nor
MIR. Hartman, but is in defense of
official property. involving what is
vera close to every good, patriotic
citizen. Mr.. Roosevelt is not less
subject. holding the high office he
does. TO criticism for recklessness
and radicalism, than is the igno-
rant agitator occupying a less re-
sponsible position. He declares
that square deal' means treat
ing all offenders alike. He cannot.
therefore, object TO be criticised
for that recklessneSs of expression
which he criticised in those of
humber position. AS to the cour-
age displayed in his thus repeating,
With greater emphasis, his denun-
clation of men as undesirable citi-
zcnS, it might have required greater
courage for him to have retracted
to the extent of expressing regret
for having made public his private
opinion of men whose characters
are undergoing the test-of judicial
examination. His letter is adroit
rather than courageous, and is cal
culated to obscure the real issue
that of the propriety of his action

seems to disclose either an obtuse-
ness on this point which is extra
ordinary for man In his position

Of life. OF the eleven fugitives not
one has been reeaptured.
4 group of members Of thee new
duoma have undertaken to bring in a
bill providing for secular inspection
of all Russian monasteries and ON
vents.
This is the result OF a whole series
of monastery scandals which would
have made the monks Of Boccaccio
blush. Apart from universal drunk
enness and immortality. there have
been recently numerous Instances Of
robbery and even murder by the
a~scetics of the Orthodox church.
In order to gain means for their
loose lives, a number of monks of the
Trinity monastery near Moscow plum
dered the adjacent villages. and even
stole hens and sheep, which they sold
to the superior. The moment the sig
nal for bedtime came. the monks dom
ned peasant garb, and ralded the viii
lagos. Where they did not steal they
drank and misconducted themselves.
A similar state of affairs exists In
the Alexander-Nevsky monastery in
st. Petersburg. The monks, who
spend the day in prayer. steal out Of
the monastery at evening and spend
the night in outrageous orgies, vio-
lating both the criminal laws and the
moral code.
The monastery council has actually
had to issue an order in regard to
locking Of doors, and to appoint sem
tries to parade the corridors. and pre-
vent the monks leaving their cells.
During the past year there have
been nearly twenty cases of murders
in monasteries. In three cases the
murdered women in their cells.
the other murders were inspired by
jealousy or cupidity. In Sousdal mon
astery a monk arrested for murder
ing a visitor. was found to have ac-
cumulated 1000 roubles by petty
thefts.
The high monastery authorities are
usually no better than the monks and
lay brethren. A year ago in n Of
the east Russian religious houses, the
