NO ATTEMPT At concEALMENr

Senator Bailey says he never at
tempted to conceal the fact that
he borrowed money from Fl. CLAY
Pierce. He asserts that he de-
clined an offer of $50, 600 a year to
become Mr.. Pieree's personal at
torney. He says: "IhaEe borrowed
hundreds of thousands of dollars
from Mr.. Pierce, and / told the
people time and again when the
Tennessee bankruptcy cases were
being talked about that I not only
had that transaction. but many
others, with Mr.. Pierce. I once
went TO him TO borrow SI56. 600. /
knew Of some securities I could
buy by which I could make a few
thousand dollars. Mr.. Pierce told
me that he did not have that
amount at hand, but he went to
bank and went my security. I
paid the money back and | made
several thousand dollars on the
deal. There is no reason WHY q
United States Senator should not
practice law or borrow money OF
buy and sell securities-but he
should be very careful who his
friends are, whom he bOrrows from
and the character of securities in
which he deals.

The strau. peeisIor,I.

There Is considerable dissatisfaction
among the organized workIngmen Of
the country. especially in the southern
states, over the first important decision
rendered by Secretary Stratus, the new
head of the department OF commerce
and labor He has decided that any
state desiring so to do may send agents
to foreign countries to solicit work
ingmen to come 10 the United States
and may assist them by paying their
passage over. This decision is prae-
tically a declaration from the secre-
tary Of commerce and labor that the
United States Is not bound by the Al.
lison contract labor law, which was
passed in 1885.

years administration, The Times does
not believe that he can be accused Of
entertaining any but honest motives. 1t
seems to us that his entire course has
been guided by strict adherence to in.
tegrity in office, He has made mis-.
takes no doubt, and perhaps Mr.. Bar
clay would be among the first to admit
them at this time But ii he has made
errors they have been errors not of viii.
full perversion but Of judgment, and no
man is capable of divining the correct
course to pursue at all times. Now and
then Mayor Barclays opinions and ac-
tions may not have conceded with the
opinion of some Of his fellow citizens,
and it may be that on occasions the
mayor would have been in a hopeless
minority had the matters been referred
to the people. But notwithstanding that
fact, We believe that he acted with the
best intentions and was guided solely by
his concern for tho good Of the com
munity. In laying down his. Office to.
day he can retire with the consciousness
that the past three years have been
meant for the best interests of Barre.
He certainly has the respect of vast
majority Of the people Of the city for
trying to do what was right at all times,
and The Times bespeaKs for him the
good will which is his due.

With a commendable never -say.die
spirit, the Concord Monitor, published in
the city where the New Hampshire legis.
lators are now making the laws, refuses
to give mp the fight against free passes,
In Yesterdays issue it reports:
1--WE have yet to be convinced that the
Republican members Of the Legislature
are indifferent to the pledges made by
their party at the last state convention.
The issues in the last campaign were
made by the Republicans, and, If their
promises are not redeemed by this legis-
lature, these same issues win become
acute in the next campaign. The crux
Of the Republican platform is its pledges
in regard to free passes. These were
plain and explicit. The party could not
avoid them if it would; it should not
if it could. The problem Of prohibiting
free passes is hedged about with some
difficulties; but it is plainly for the m
terest of both the railroad and the Re,
publican party that this question be
dealt with effectively by the sitting leg
islature."

President Roosevelt has adopted
the idea of Senator Lafoliette. lie
is now advocating extending the
power Of the interstate commerce
commission und imposing Mpon il 4he
responsibility Of placing valuation
upon every railroad which enters
into the commerce between the
state, The .president has been
won over b. the inability of the
comm ission TO properly fix the rates
without knowing the value Of the
various roads. There is no doubt
but that the power to fix valuations
of railroads would greatly aid the
commission in its work of fixing
the rates but President Roosevelt is
treading dangerously near to govern
ment ownership of railways. An
other step and he will be alongside
of Bryan.
