WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence.

Washington, ID. g., Sept. 26.
The Republicans are getting into a
worse and worse mess through the
further exposures by the New York
World of the corruption fund fur
nished by Hartman, Depew and
the Wall Street interests for the
Roosevelt campaign in 1904. The
large sums flinched from the widow
and orphans funds of the Life In
surance policy holders, which treas
urer Bliss of the Republican Nat
ional Committee collected and
Chairman Cortelyou expended, can
not be explained away. In fact all
that Judge Parker claimed before
the election, which President Roose-
welt denied, is gradually proving to
be true and no attempt at restitu-
tion has been made, except that
Mr.. Perkins of the Morgan bank
ing company paid back to the New
York Life the $4,000 that he had
ordered paid to the Republican
campaign fund, but the Republican
managers have never restored a dol
lar. Senator Depew now says no
such contributions will be made
again and that the Republican poll
ticians "are not notable for a
high regard for their promises" "
presumably made in return for the
corruption funds. What the Repub-
lican managers promise has not vet
been disclosed. Whether it was
immunity for Hartman and other
rebate law breakers, or whether
the bankers were promised the use
OF all the surplus money in the
treasury, can only be surmised by
the fact that both these interests
have received such favors from the
Administration, yet still from what
senator Depew says other promises
made by the politicians have not
Deen regarded. Those who voted
against Judge Parker, because thew
believed President Roosevelt ratb-
er than Parker, certainly owe him
the amende honorable.
The report in the Philadelphia
Record. that friends of Mr.. Bryan
IN that city had received letters
from him saying he will probably
not be candidate for president.
because he believed he could NOT
receive the united vote of the Demo-
cracY has not yet been denied,
mad must, therefore, be taken as
founded in fact. Thousands of
Democrats will regret this decision
OF Mr.. Bryan, for there is very
general feeling that the Republican

on the South acting suspiciously.
1t is plain that Mr.. Roosevelt is
determined, to be in position, with
his great feet Of distract public
attention from the discussion OF
domestic topics. II is not known
here that this is his true intention.
1f he does no more than this, we
will all thank God. He is like q

however, and is just as liable as not

poses, but never until this year of

IMPORTANCE OF CENTRALIZING.

bodies cannot be OvcrcStlInated
Their power for effective work is
farreaching. Their existence is
absolutely necessary to the com
pictc success Of the labor move
ment.
The educational influence cx-
crtcd over the minds of the dele
gates to an active central Organi-
cation, is of iucalculablc benefit to
these delegates, to the Individual
members of the various labor
unions aud to the local and nation
al bodies. Through the general
discussion Of the needs and de.
mandS of labor that plays an i'm
portant part in the proceedings of
thc2r llodicS these :cry live issues
of the movement are impressed
upon the minds of the members at
large, and they are thus fortified
in their arguments for the better
mcnt of the conditions Of til: work
ing classes.
There should bc no apathy
shown on the part of the members
at large, and they are thus fortified
in their argument for the better
mcnt of the condition OF the work
ing classes.
There should bc apathy shown
on tho part of the members Of the
locals toward these central unions.
All local unions should be thor
oughly alive to the Importance Of
these bodies, and should not only
affiliate with them, voluntarily, or
through compulsion, but should
select their best material to repre-
sent chem there, and also exact
regular attendance ut all Of it's
sessions from it's accredited dele
rates.
= should be borne in mind that
our International unions and the
parent body, the American Fcdcr-
alton of Labor, are dependent up
on these central bodies to execute
the policy Of the general labor
movement. This fact should make
it clear to all the absolute necessity
Of IL live central body in every
community. Let it be remember
ed that the practical assistance
they can give the labor movement
in executing the plans devised for
the protection and promotion of
the interests and rights of the
workers is incalculablc. They are
not only the local municipal coun-
ellis of industry dealing with socio-
logical problems, but they are also
the concrete power to enforce and
execute within the jurisdiction of
their existence the Judgment Of the
highest court in the realms of
American labor, the American
Federation Of Labor.
The interchange of ideas and the
general discussion of questions
rtircGng the interests Of labor
prove 4 valuable aid to the student
OF economies. and its educational
benefits along THIS line arc not to

The growth of central labor
bodies in this country has been
