No Tainted Money Admitted.

Colonel H. Il. CH1LpERs Of New York,
who Is encouraging the production OF
campaign coin for the Democratic ma
donal committee in Pennsylvania, will
be soundly rated By Mr.. BRYAN IL these
remarks, reported by the Philadelphia
Record without suspicion Of their guilty
tenor, come to the great mans eyes:
Perhaps Colonel GUYFRT Is too good Demo.
csat to keep hands on IN this campaign. not
withstanding unpleasant differences between
him and Mr. BRIAN. and would not be surprised
10 learn thathe had forgiven his enemy and was
heaping Goals OF nre by his own generosity and
influence. He used TO give the committee money,
and he Is not apt to get out Of thb habit
Rhe fierce longing in Colonel GUFFRY's
heart to sign checks. for the political
benefit of Colonel BRYAN can be heard
even at this distance. One tempestuous
sigh 1t scuds along, 100 miles an hour.
But what avails that sigh? Colonel
GUFFEY might be willing to use all his
holdings in the bituminous way and the
oil way to heap hod and can to produce
Goals Of fire for the Bryan altar, but it
cannot be. Hot Goals or cold cash may
not come from him. Not merely was he
accommodated at Denver, but he and
all his class have been soleninly made
incapable Of slipping anything into the
Democratic receipts. No trust money
for Mr.. BRYAN.
And what is a trust? A large corpo-
ration. No officer Of such may be an
officer Of MIR. BRYAN. No subscrip-
tons from such can be accepted by the
eager RIDDER. By inevitable conse-
quences no stockholder In such oorpo-
rations, no workman who is paid by
those forbidden and leprous hands, can
give q cent, let alone q dollar, to the
Bryan fund. No Wall Street money
need apply. References required from
every contributor.
Colonel GUFFEY may rage against
these barriers, but every friend Of vir-
tue and foe Of trusts must sing for joy.

MraTaft,s Apology for Golf.

Students OF the progress and infiu-
enoe OF humbug, and especially Of the
Roosevelt-Bryan gospel Of sansculot-
tism, will add to their collections the
statement or apology for golf which
Mr TAFT has thought it advisable to
issue. It is document which looks
absurd enough, but nothing can be too
absurd for politics, and every good
sociologist win be made happier by
reading Il:
They said that had been playing golf this
summer and that IL was q rich mans game; and
that y indicated that was out of sympathy with
the plain people. want to state my case before
the bar Of public opinion on the subject of the
game Of golf In Scotland golf is the game OF
the people, and In this country. where you can
get place to i've and pny. IL Il game for people
who are not active enough 70 play baseball or
1ennis. or who have too much weight 20 carry
around to play those games. And yet twheu man
weighs 5ps pounds you have got TO give him some
opportunity TO make his legs and muscles move.
and golf ofiers that opportunity.
1t may be that Il is the game Of rich men. but
u
fact that very poor man can play It, and soue-
how or otuer my friends were certain that II I
could only como out here and show you what
kind OF a man wss In appearance you would
get over tho impression that there Is anything
abort me that resembled dude
This is all right as an appeal to the
golf vote, but will it-satisfy the people,
at least the kind Of people who shall
rule if Mr., BRYAN does? Is it not
notorious that the predatory rich are
generally golfers? Is not the richest
autobiographer in the world slave Of
the links. even if he is master of the
lampe Mr.. TAFT should have distin-
guished between good golfers and bad
golfers, With the utmost good will to
him we can't say oonscientiously that
golf is the game of the people. Mr..
TAFT is right, however, in believing
that it may be played by friends of the
people. He may stir some resentment
by his assertion or implication that golf
il only for the inactive, excessive and
waistless. But one has to be cautious
In remarks about sport under the pres
ent sporting Administration, and lawn
tennis Is the official game.
Mr.. TAF,r's use Of the word dude
betrays a certain innocence or conser-
vatism on his part. The dude" proper
arose and expired in the sos, IL we
remember right, He was as slender as
Mr.. TAFT is not, and Mr.. TAFT might
have assumed that even in the widest
West, IL any Of the West is not tame, he
Is known not to be Brlmmel.
So Mr.. TAFT will be forgiven, II he
needed forgiveness, not only for golf
but for being civilized. But how the
times have changed from the old Mr..
TAFT can't play golf without the fear
Of an aroused populaoe before him. Mr..
WASHINGTON, that shameless old plu-
tocrat, used to go about in six horse
coach wasn't it? Four horse at the
very least, with positions and outriders.
And he never apologized.
