FRESH INSPIRATION.

Napoleon ard His Attitude Toward
the Common Soldier.
Napoleon understood human nature.
He recognized the great truth, "As .
man thinketh In his heart 30 Is he"
and knew how to apply 1t not only to
himself and his own ambitious prof.
ects, but to other men as well. More
over, he knew precisely the right mo-
ment TO apply 1t to quicken the spark
Of divine energy which smolders In
every man, although the ashes Of ia
tigue and failure may cover its light
temporarily.
A French soldier carried q dispatch
to Napoleon. Just as he delivered 1t
into the hands Of the emperor his
spent horse dropped dead. Napoleon
wrote an answer to the dispatch, then.
dismounting from his own horse, he
handed the bri3le to the soldier.
''Take this horse and ride back, com.
rade." he said.
"Nay, SIRE" stammered the soldier,
gazing at the blooded horse and Its
trappings. 1T is too magnificent and
grand for me, a common soldier"
Take itF' commanded Napoleon
There is nothing too grand and mag
nificent for a soldier of France"
The soldier mounted and rode away
on his, perilous business, ready and
willing. and Napoleon's words. repeat
ed through the ranks and columns Of
his army. gave to his tired troops
fresh inspiration and energy. Moth
ing too grand and magnificent for
soldier of France" they said. and the
thought that they were worthy Of th'
best inspired them to the mighty deed
which followed.

$4,000 votes were changed making a
difference of 100000 votes in the re-
suit. In other words, Mr.. Hartman
boosted that his campaign fund pur-
chased for the republican candidates

gone to the democratic candidates.
Whether or not Mr. Roosevelt had
the slightest intention of respecting the
moral obligation to Hartman implied
by this contribution of $260,000, he
could not have been ignorant of the
purposes to which this money would
be put. You and are practical men,
said the president in one of his let
tiers to Hartman. As practical man
and practical politician Mr.. Roose-
welt knew there was only one use for
$260,000 at the end of doubtful CAM
paign.
Knowing all this, he not only en-

Four Years Ago.

Four years ago, in the last week of
the campaign, Edward H. Hartman.
whom President Roosevelt has since de-
clared, in his opinion, "as undesirable
a citizen as Debs or Meyer or Har-
wood" went to the White house at the
invitation of President Roosevelt to
confer about the political situation in
New York.
AS a result of that conference Mr.
Hartman returned to New York city
and Immediately raised $780, 900. which
was turned over to the republican ma
tional committee and taken by Treas
.urer Bliss to Chairman Cortelyou. who
was postmaster general and is now
secretary Of the treasury in Roosevelt's
cabinet. This money was to be used
in New York state, to carry the state
for the republican ticket.
Of this 100000 Mr Hartman con-
tributed $4,000, and the remainder was
raised by Senator Chauncey Depew,
and was given by the big life insur-
ance companies, Morgan and other plu.
tocrats.
Mr. Hartman in subsequent letter
to Mr.. Sidney Webster declared as a
result of the slush fund he raised, Eat
least $4,000 votes were turned in the
city of New York alone, making a diff
ference of 100000 votes in the general
result"
There has been no more sordid trans
action in American politics than that
recorded in Mr.. Harriman's letter to
Sidney Webster and in Mr. Roosevlt's
letter to James Schoolcraft Sherman
now republican candidate for vice pres
ident. both of which letters are printed
in full in the New York World of the

candidate to succeed himself, deserves

The Campaign Amenities.

The present national campaign isn't
half as bitter as it might have been.
Hamilton was shot in duel that grew
out of politics and Andrew Jackson
had several notches on AS pistol when
he went to Washington. Webster, JEFF
ferson, Franklin and Clay were all
charged with things that politics today
could never stoop to.
Blaine and Cleveland felt the keen
thrust of the character assassin. The
story of the Maine churchyard and the
fiat tell the truth in their memorable
campaign are within the memory of
the younger men of today. Even the
immortal Washington was accused of
theft of government lands and other
personal obliquities that could hardly
enter into political campaign now.
So, after all. we are not really so bad
The authenticity of the Cleveland
letter of Broughton Brandenburg fame
is an unpleasant thing to dwell upon
and it is to be hoped that District At
torney Jerome will be able to fix the
blame for the outrage and punish the
guilty
Forged letters don't usually have
very much effect in political battle
The only thing of that kind that has
ever affected results was the celebrat

Tomorrow,s Elections.

The one big event of the week for
the people of the United States and
overshadowing all else IN Importance
will be the quadrennial national cleo
ton of a president and vice president.
Seven national tickets are in the field,
from which the voters may take their
choice. In % states governors or other
state officers are to be elected. Six
states will choose justices of the su.
preme court or minor state officers.
In seven states representatives only
are TO be elected. and in two represen-
tatives and legislature only. Repre-
sentatives in congress will be chosen
in all states excepting Oregon, Ver-
mont and Maine. which states held
their elections during the summer. The
voters of Michigan will decide upon
the adoption or rejection of q new con-
stitution. In other states proposed
constitutional amendments of import
ance will be voted upon.
Aside from the presidential contest
the results of the elections in several
of the states are awaited with general
interest. In New York the guberna-
torial contest between Hughes and
Chanler has attracted national atten
ton. In Indiana and Ohio the contest
over the liquor question is of wide
spread interest. In Illinois the fighl
between Stevenson and Deneen is par
amount. The result in Speaker Can
mems district, the Eighteenth Illinois
is also awaited with interest, owing to
the bitter fight that has been made by
the labor element and others to pre-
vent the speakers reelection.
