secure beyond peradventure the large floating vote builded up by years of effort to corrupt the electorate bv means of money contributed by those who were willing to buy favors from those willing to sell them.
 This, then, is the source of the flood of corporation evils that have come upon us and for 1t our unfaith- ful public stewards are most to blame had they been true to their re- spective trusts the injuries from which we suffer could not have come to us.
 In no instance that we have vet heard of did the corporation press it's money on the politician or the party organization. In all instances it was requested and in many of them under such circumstances as to constitute the request demand. The foremost duty of the hour, then, is to shut off forever this corrupting flood,
 It cannot be accomplished by fines, which if imposed will be paid out of the corporation treasury, It can be done if the punishment for viola ton of law be the Imprisonment of the corporation officials. Such a sta ute congress has not passed, nor will 1t unless the people demand it.

tained speed of 25 knots the Lusitania is propelled by turbine engines of TO- 900 indicated horse power driving four shafts, each of which carries one. three-bladed propeller of manganese bronze. The outermost shafts are each connected with a high h-pressure tur- bine, the inner shafts being rotated by tie low pressure turbines.
 The passenger accommodations throughout is unsurpassed. First class passengers can choose between dining la carte in a charming white and gold empire salon or table d'hote in an elegant dining room faced with mahogany.
 Everything has been designed to look as little like a ship as possible. The fire places are quite open. The win dows are shaped and curtained as in a private house, The elevators are con- veniently located in the center of the ship, alongside the stairways. The combined music room and lounge is extremely beautiful Finished in satin wood, with attractively designed ta- bles, chairs and settees, the ladies may now join their escorts for after dinner coffee.

It is neces- sary, of course, that there should be means of communication between one water-tight compartment and those contiguous, and on the 'Lusitania," as on board the "Caronia" and Car mania" these communicating doors at or below the water line are of a special type, and can be closed auto- matically from the navigating bridge, and that in a few seconds. In all, the "Lusitania" has 175 water-tight com partments, so that it is claimed for her that she is as unsuitable as a ship can be.

 COMPANION FOR BAIL Automobilist Arrested in New York a Regular Ches-

 Exceeded Limit.
CAPTURED FOR SPEEDING

New York, Sept. 13.-Prosaic po- licemen in the West One Hundred and Fifty second street station thought they had been waited back to the days of ancient chivalry this morning when Dwight c. Warner of 2sS7 Broadway was brought in for speeding his au- tomobile at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. Warner is manager of an electrical concern. He frankly ad- mitted that he was exceeding the speed limit. One of his two women companions offered to put up her ring as bail for him. but he refused to ac- cept the sacrifice.
 What have you to say to that?" asked Lieutenant Becker, when pa trolman made the charge.
 Tt is true.'' said Warner T was going at twenty-five miles an hour. thought the policemen were all in. \ knew they changed platoons at 12I o'clock. I wanted to give my guests little spurt of speed. I thought it would do them good. I had no soon- CT let out speed than this gentleman" turning with a bow to the patrol man who had arrested him" caught me dead in the act. I have been run ming my car for five years and have never been arrested. Automohilists say that driver has not been initiat- ed until he has been taken in for speeding. I guess I am initiated now. I Anyway, I have no hard feelings against the officer who arrested me? He did his duty"
 Too astonished to speak at this out burst of confession, Becker did not re- ply for a moment, Then he asked; What about ball? Have you $1OO?'
 Warner confessed, after search through his pockets, that he hadn't that amount. One of his companions stepped forward and drew diamond ring from her finger. "This will do, | won't it?" she inquired.

 The difficulty was finally settled by Warmers leaving his automobile as bail He refused to give the names of his companions.

WELFARE OF THE WEST INDIES,
Influence of the United States Re-
 sponsible for Prosperity.

Influence of the United States Re-
 sponsible for Prosperity.
 Though tho American flag is floating over but a single one of the nearly two score islands that make up the West Indies, the fact that the econom- ic welfare of almost every one of them Is in direct proportion to It's intercourse with the United States is strong in- dlcation that the destiny of the group as a whole is most intimately linked with our own. Porto Rico, our only ter ritory is head and shoulders above all the other islands in the matter of pros- perity, while Cuba where American in fluence is paramount, stands an easys second. Jamaica, which up to the time of the earthquake stood we'll to the front among the English islands, owed it's position almost entirely to the mon- oy poured in there by American tour ists, to the millions paid by American consumers of Jamaican bananas, and to the relief given the Jamaican labor market by the employment of many thousands of the islands surplus work CTS on an American canal, Likewise, in the Lesser Antilles, Barbadoes and Trinidad whose trade with the United States is about equal to that which they carry on with England, and both of which have considerable investments of American capital, easily lead their sister islands in wealth and prosperity On the other hand, the French islands Of Cfuadeloupe and Martinique, which hava scant intercourse with America, are in about the same condition as the colonies of that power in the remoter corners of the world-absolute stagna- tion. One may be justified therefore, in assuming that the influence of the United States in the West Indies will never be less than it is at tpresent, and reasonably safe in believing that 1t will increase even more rapidly in the fu- ture than it has in the past.-American Review of Reviews.

LEADERS APPEAR RAPIDLY IN AMERICAN AFFAIRS
Career of Governor Hughes H. lustrates Their Devel-
 opment.

Now and then the remark is made that notwithstanding the fact that to- day MT. Roosevelt appears to domin- ate the situation in the one party and MT. Bryan in the other, the two presi- dential candidates next year may be men at present unknown in that field of speculation.
 Is such thing possible? Leaders de- lvelop very rapidly in our atmosphere Note the appearance of Charles F. Hughes as the orator at the unveiling of the Mckinley monument at Buffalo Thursday. He is the governor of the most powerful State in the Union, and serving so well in his office he is vide fly regarded as a presidential quantity. His tribute to Mckinley showed the man of thought and character worthy of the place he holds It ranks with the best appraisements that have been offered of one of the worthiest and most attractive men In our history.
 And yet when MT, Mckinley died, only six years ago, MT. Hughes was unknown outeide of a small profession | al and church circle in New York. Mir. Mckinley probably never heard of him. His work at the bar was successful and satisfactory, but had brought him no fame He was not seeking fame. The respect of his fellow lawyers and of his fellow churchmen conpfehended his full ambition.
 Nor was the task out of which his fame grew one that promised fame at the time he set his hand to it. One or two lawyers of distinction had declined it, putting but a small value on it. But MT. Hughes accepted it, and in his hands it soon attracted national atten- tion. There were rooted in it evils of large proportions. and these he exposed in an able and merciless manner. So important were his services, indeed, that money consideration did not cover them at all. The people of the State rewarded him by calling him to the governors chair, by a majority which, in the circumstances was very large.
 All of this was accomplished in a very short time, Who shall put limit therefore on what the next ten months may bring forth in the national field? An important session of congress is approaching, and many public ques- tions will come up for discussion and action. Out of any of them may arise new standard, and out of that situa- tion may spring new leaders. Such thing does not look likely, but it Is not impossible. And the comforting feature of the matter is that whenever such an hour strikes with us we have Hughes at hand. and he always re- sponds.-Washingt Star.

 To secure these plates to each other and the structural framework of the ship. over 100000 rivets have been used, aggregating in weight about 500 tons.

A Suggestion for Trolley Companies.


 (New York Times.
 A naval officer, who was hanging to a strap to keep his footing, as the trolley car lurched violently around the curves, declared to his landsman friend that he would rather walk the quarter deck with his ship rolling in a heavy sea. I'll tell you what ought to be practiced in these cars" he continued. Did you ever see the ram drill on a warship2 At signal the men all fall forward, wherever they happen to be standing, until their bodies are almost horizontal, with just the tips of their fingers and the tips of their toes touching the deck. That is to lessen the shock, you know when the ship Is about to ram or be rammed by another vessel, Well I don't see why that wouldn't work well on these ears. It doesn't seem to do any good for the conductor to call out Hold fastp We do hold as fast as we can all the time, but hanging on like grim death won't keep you from plunging head foremost to the floor or into your neighbours lap, with rather annoying frequency. So, if he would simply give the signal for the ran, drill all of us who were stand ing could obey it, and we could round these curves

Sheriff Now Gets Salary.

AT the last session of the
Legislature a law was enacted
which completely changes matters
in connection with the Office of
sheriff of the various counties in
the state. Under the old law
the sheriff was paid in fees and
he had the privilege of selectin G
deputies and paying such amount
as he might arrange with them.
The new law provides salary
for the sheriff according to popu-
lation of the county and the
supervisors furnish the deputies.
The law reads:
Section 2. The board of
county supervisors shall furnish
the sheriff with such deputies as
they deem necessary and shall
fix the compensation of such
deputies who shall be paid by
warrant drawn on the general
fund"
An emergency clause was at.
tached to the act and it went
into force April 5th, but as the
county supervisors have not
met since that time and selected
and fixed the salaries of deputies,
the new law will not be put into
effect until this is done at meet.

law to the sheriff of Custer county

Mrs. Mckinley Dead.

Mrs. William Mckinley, widow
of the late martyr president, died
at her home in Canton, Ohio, at
loo o'clock Sunday afternoon,
May Goth.
For many years Mrs. Mckinley
had been an invalid. She rallied
from the shock of her husbands
death-but it left its mark, and
when it was known that she had
suffered a stroke of paralysis
little hope was felt that she could
survive.
The end came peacefully
almost imperceptibly. Mrs. Nc
Kinley never knew Of the efforts
made for days to prolong her life,
nor of the solicitions hope
against hope of her sister and
other relatives and friends for
her recovery.
The body of Mrs. Mckinley
will be placed in the vault in
West Lawn cemetery, which
holds also the body of her hus-
band, until the completion of the
national mausoleum on Monu-
ment hill when both caskets will
be transferred to receptacles in
that tomb.
Mrs. McKinley's life of almost
sixty years has been made famil-
lar to the nation by the fact that
more than half of it was aperiod
of invalidism. Through all this,
however, she showed a firm and
unwavering belief in the career
of her husband and by her cheer
ing words, in spite of personal
Affections, encouraged him when
there was darkness at hand.
She believed that his star OF
destiny would never set until he
had become president of this land
and for more than quarter of a
century cherished that belief UNI
til her hopes were realized.
After President Mckinley's
death she expressed a desire to
join him and prayed day by day
that she might die. Later, how
ever, she frequently told friends
she desired to live until the com
pletion of the Mckinley mauso.
