Especial Washington Correspondence OF
The Argus)
To my mind the most important po-
litical event in the United States of
recent date occurred not in Washing
ton. but in New York. 1t happened
when Thomas F. Ryan. who is attempt
ing to control The Democratic party OF
Virginia. testified before the grand
Jury that prior to the 1900 campaign
he, William c.. Whitney, Thomas Do
Ian. Widener and Elkins contributed
100000 to the Republican national
committee.
The treasurer of that committee,
Cornelius n. Bliss. strenuously denies
that he received this contribution. 1t
may be remembered that this same
Bliss denied when Judge Parker was
a candidate for the presidency that the
Republican committee had received on
behalf of Mr.. Roosevelt any funds
from trusts, corporations or life insur-
ance companies When Mr. Roosevelts
dear friend. Governor Hughes, tool;
hold of the Investigation into the life
insurance companies 1t was discovered
that $4,000 had been taken out OF
the pockets of the people who were
paying for insurance and turned over
to the Republican national committee
for the benefit of Theodore Roosevelt
The recollection of Treasurer Bliss at
that time was singularly faulty. II
may be that the mere matter of $500,
600 given to him by five men. two OF
whom were nominally Democrats, may
have escaped his mind as completely
But It is worth while to call attention
to the fact that the story is told by
Thomas F. Ryan, and told under oath
Where the Half Million Came From.
Don't for moment think that Mr.
Ryan or Elkins or Widener or William
C. whitney or Dolan put up the $500,
600 turned over to Bliss to debaucl
the electorate of the nation in 1900

respect upon that campaign as he then
did in ignorance.
And. again. when Judge Parker de-
clared that the campaign committee
which was pressing Mr. Roosevelt's
candidacy in 1904 was accepting con-
tributjons from doubtful sources and
Mr.. Roosevelt himself Indignantly and
somewhat vituperatively denied it. IL
there had been publicity law which
would have shown at that time,
as the insurance Investigation after
ward showed. that Judge Parker was
right and MIR. Roosevelt wrong, would
not it have had some effect upon the
outcome of that election?
The Need Of the Publicity Law.
American people today of more vital
Importance than. this one of publicity
for campaign contributions. These
two incidents show how thoroughly
vital to the integrity of our elections
this publicity has become. 1t happens

Ii is rumored and believed was used
by the Republican national committee
in 1896 and in lesser degree in 1900.
The Democracy is used to making its
campaigns with little funds. What It
| asks now Is that the contributions
made either to the Democratic party
or to the Republican party shall by
law be made public both as to amount
| and as to the names of the donors.
But 1t won't be done by this Repub-
lican congress. Like the tariff and
everything else. 1t is something that
must go over until after election.
The Populist Ticket.
Newspapers of a certain sort that fog
twelve years have done nothing except
denounce Mr.. Bryan as Populist an

Populist party, with every one of ID

races of Europe the distinctive marks
of fairness, blue eyes, yellow hair, a
blonde skin. In Scandinavia some
thousands of years anterior to historic
time, a race was bleached out by the
northern climate, vas tinted in &C
cordance with the winters of the
north, just as vas the polar bear.
Such is the theory of science.
1t is the only truly blond race in
the world. The brunei races Of the
Mediterranean, the Latin stocks as
they are styled, belong to the family
of white men, but they shade into
the darker races of north Africa and
of Arabia. The ~aristocracy Of Spain
was once fair, because they were the
children of the Visigothic conquerors,
who originated probably in Sweden.
This one fair race in the world has
gone forth in successive waves, pre-
historic and historic, from their pen
insular home, and today inhabit Eng
land and Scotland, Normandy, the
Netherlands, north Germany. Their
descendants are the mobiles of France,
of Spain, of Austria and south Ger
many, of Russia north of the Tartar
country. In America they were the
settlers of New England and the
south. They are peopling Australia
and New Zealand today.
Professor Montelius, in his pride OF
race, is supported both by historic
fact and latest scientific theory.

The political campaign closed in
Canton Monday evening when a fair
audience was present in the court
house to hear the speakers. W. @.
Gemmill presided and introduced a
glee club composed Of Messrs. Wendt,
Smith, WOODBURY. and Pattee who
sang Comrade Trips new Taft song
to the tune of Yankee Doodle. The
singers and the song were roundly ap-
plauded.
The first speaker Of the evening
was Judge Forrest, who was followed
by States Attorney Carlson, and he
by Judge Clifford. The speakers dis.
cussed political conditions and politi.
cal history and gave ample proof that
Judge Taft was the right man to sue
coed President Roosevelt, and the
audience seemed to be unanimous in
this opinion. At the conclusion Of
the political discussion, Chairman
Gemmill announced that the meeting
would then and there resolve itseli
into ) smokers club and that all hands
could take a dip into the weed ano
anticipate republican victory while
gazing through the circling circles
DR.. Hummer and DR.. Turner of the
Asylum were present and DR.. Hum
mer said he enjoyed the speaking very
much. 1t was his first political meet
ing in the state.

School Notes.

The enrolment Of the Canton
schools is 49l up to date. Ill OF these
are in the H. S.
The highest per cent of attendance
for October was in Miss Whitehead's
room, the per cent being 1873. Miss
Sand ven's room at the East Side was
second with SO per cent. Miss JuePs
room was third with 81 8 per cent.
In the entire school 293 pupils at
Tended last month with neither tardi-
ness nor absence.
The fewest tardies we're in Miss
Manson's room No. 8, the number be-
ing me-. The most were in Fl. SIS,
but this should be compared with last
years October record of 81 tard1es.
The total of the entire school was "a
tardies as against lib for October last
year.
Patrons may easily see from the
above the record for hardness is still
far from satisfactory. 1t is safe to
say that three fourths of these are
avoidable. May we not have this
record bettered?
At the H. S. supper last Friday
night the receipts were about s45 OF
which some $42 was cleared for the
athletic teams.
This week completes 8 weeks or the
first quarter Of the years work. II. s.
report cards will be out next Thurs
day Nov. IL.
Numerous pupils will be excused
from the quarterly examinations
which occur the latter half Of the
week. These pupils have met every
requirement as to scholarship de-
pertinent, punctuality and attend
ance, and have earned their holiday.
There will be no school Friday
p. M. in any of the rooms on account
of the County Association of Teach
ers which meets in the H. S. building
