TWO PRACTICAL MEJ"
THE Whiteness of the Pot and tie
BIac1ness of the Kettles

From Theodore Roosevelt's letter of
Oct. 4, 1901, to Edward II. Harri-
man.
Now, my dear sir, you and l are
practical men, and you are on the
ground and know the conditions bet
car than L do. If you think there is
any danger Of your visit to me caus-
ing trouble or if you think there is
nothing special l should be informed
about, or no matter in which / could
give you aid, why, Of course, give up
the visit for the time being, and then
a few weeks hence before L write my
message, l shall get you to come down
to discuss certain government matters
not connected with the campaign.
From Edward II. Harriman's confiden-
tial statement to Sidney Webster.
About week before the election in
the autumn Of 1904, when it looked
certain that the state ticket would go
Democratic and was doubtful as TO
Roosevelt himself, he, the president,
sent NE request to go to Washing
ton to confer upon the political conui-
tons in New York state. l complied,
and he told me he understood the CAM
paign could not be successfully carried
on without sufficient money and asked
if l could help them in raising the
necessary funds as the national COM
mittee, under control Of Chairman Cor
telyou, had utterly failed of obtaining
them, and there was a large amount
due from them to the New York state
committee. We talked over what could
be done for Depew, and finally he
agreed that if found necessary he
would appoint him as ambassador to
Paris.
With full belief that he, the presi-
dent, would keep his agreement, I
came back to New York, sent for
Treasurer Bliss, who told me that I
was their last hope and that they had
exhausted every otEer resource. In
his presence l called up an intimate
friend of Senator Depew, told him that
it was necessary in order to carry New
York state that 100000 should be
raised at once, and if he would help
I would subscribe $4,000. After q
few words over the telephone the
gentleman said he would let me know,
which he did probably in three or four
hours, with tine result that the whole
amount, including my subscription,
had been raised.
The checks were given to Treasurer
Bliss, who took them to Chairman Cor
telyou. Ii there We're any among
them of life insurance companies, or
any other like organizations, of
course Cortelyou must have informed
the president. 1 do not know who
the subscribers were, other than the
friend of Depew, WHO was an indi-
vidual. This amount enabled the New
York state committee to continue its
work, with the result that at least 50,-
600 votes were turned in the city of
New York alone, making a difference
of 100000 votes in the general result

REPUBLICANS HOWL CALAMITY
Seek to Destroy Public Confidence i'm
Futile Effort TO Defeat
BRYAN.

Facing inevitable defeat and with a
full knowledge of the fact that Bry-
ans election is as certain as anything
reasonably can be in politics, the Re-
publicans have been forced to resort
to the last refuge of political towards
to the calamity howl They are now
engaged in telling the coTltry that
panic and ruin will follow the election
of Mr.. Bryan. Instead of being patri-
otto citizens anxious to restore BUSH
ness confidence-a confidence which
has been lost under a Republican ad-
ministration-to subserve their own
political selfish purposes they are vain
ly endeavoring to prolong the present
business depression. The question
naturally suggests itself: Why is it
is it necessary to bring back business
prosperity? What has become of conf
dence, what has become of prosperity?
Both, under a Republican administra-
ton, have disappeared. Why is an
other Republican administration neces-
sary to insure return of confidence
and prosperity?
The very same men who, today, are
going about the country still further
destroying confidence by preaching
calamity, are the men, who four years
ago said that the Republican party
must be successful in order that there
might be prosperity. The Republican
party was successful, but instead of
h1,iO OF hpo,,ph+ opio
business depression and commercial
stagnation. Whatever may be said of
the present panic, it cannot be denied
that it is a Republican panic. The
Republican party is in full possession
of the government and must accept
the responsibility. How, then, can a
continuation of the Republican party in
power cure the evils from which the
business community and the laboring
man now suffer? Let the Republicans
howl about their own panic, and not
make false predictions about what will
happen under Democratic admins
tration. They predicted prosperity
four years ago, and proven false pro-
phets. Why, then, should any sane
man accept their premonitions now
when they say that Bryan's election
would bring business troubles. Bust
ness troubles are already here. What
business men want is cure for them,
not prolongation of the disease by
the same sort of treatment which has
produced the ailment.
Because business men and laboring
men both know that Republican ad-
ministration has produced panic, they
will not be deceived again by these
false cries of Republican calamity
howlers. They know that William
Jennings Bryan is an honest man; they
know that he will give the public an
honest administration. They know that
the calamity howl is for the sole pur-
pose of deception. (

Against Laboring Men.

While William H. Taft is travelling
about Ohio and elsewhere making fran
tic appeals for the support of laboring
men, his running mate on the RepublI-
can ticket, James S. Sherman, is CIV
ing his endorsement to the statement
that labor unions are composed large
ly of anarchists, socialists and dema-
gogues." Mr.. Sherman heard the or
ganized wage worker of the country
thus denounced by a trust magnate
who presided at a meeting where he
spoke, and gave approval of the senti-
ment expressed. When Mr.. Sherman
appeared recently at Akron, Ohio, the
meeting which he addressed was pre-
sided over by o. c. Barber, president
of the Diamond Match Company Mr.
Barber introduced Mr.. Sherman to the
audience, In doing so he made use of
the following language, as stenograph-
ically reported:
Zone of the main reasons for the
success of the Diamond Match Com
pany is that it's directors HAVE
NEVER TOLERATED UNION LABOR
IN ITS SHOP. THEY HAVE AL
WAYS BEEN OPEN. We have had
no one to dictate to us what wages we
shall pay, what men we shall hire, and
what hours our employees shall work.
LABOR UNIONS TODAY ARE COM.
POSED LARGELY OF ANARCHISTS,
SOCIALISTS AND DEMAGOGUES."

A University in Politics.

Josephus Daniels, chairman of the
Democratic publicity bureau, COM
mented as follows on the appearance
of Prof. ]. Laurence Laughlin of the
University of Chicago as a stump
speaker attacking the guaranty of
bank deposits:
at is not surprising" said he, ito
see a professor OF the University of
Chicago on the stump opposing a
measure so beneficial to the poor man
as the guaranty of bank deposits. John
D. Rockefeller and the other Standard
Oil manufacturers can not be expected
to favor Mr.. Bryan's plans.
Doubtless Mr.. Rockefeller has COM
municated to the university which his
money supports and has indicated that
he would be gratified to have the uni
versity do effective work for the can
didate he favors in this campaign"

DAWES FOR GUARANTEE
Comptroller OF Currency Under Nc
Ikinley Favored Insurance OF
Bank Deposits.

Charles G. Dawes was comptroller
of the currency under Mr. Mckinley.
Since 1902 he has been president Of
the Central Trust company at Chi
cago. Writing in The Public. Louis
L. Post calls attention to the fact that
several years ago Mr.. Dawes wrote
a book entitled The Banking System
of the United States" - following
is taken from Mr.. Posts article:
In describing in that book the pres
ent need of or national banking sys-
tenn" Mr.. Dawes distinctly argues for
the insurance idea that Bryan advo-
Gated in congress and upon which his
campaign is now advancing in the
west. Referring to a proposed law,
advocated by Bryan in congress,
which would have levied tax upon
national banks for the purpose of Gre
at.ng fund for the insurance Of de-
posts, Mr.. Dawes wrote:
National banking statistics show
that fund o. the necessary amount
would soon he created by compare
lively small tax upon each national
bank.
"s 1t must certainly be adj
mitted that the establishment of such
a fund would lave tendency to pre-
vent the mad PUSHES Of small and
large depositors during times of panic,
for money which they hoard away in
safety deposit boxes or other hiding
places.
90" If the effect Of such q
law would be to render bank deposits
more stable under all conditions, as in
our Judgment would be the case, no
law could be of more vaue and i'm
rortance to the debtor, or to the cred
itor, or to the community at large.
= Besides the great Importance
of the law, as related to the general
prosperity of the country it is meri-
torious as preventing the Keen suffer
ing in those localities where bank fail
ures occur, and where the hard earned
savings OF the community, under our
present laws. are often swept away.
BY such a law, losses are distributed
rs by insurance. the beneficial effects
of which need no argument. To the
passage of such law in proper form,
we trust the efforts Of congress will
be directed"

STRAUS GIVES REASONS
The New York Merchant and Phi
lanthropist Declares Election of
Bryan Means Business
Prosperity.

prosperity.
Nathan Straus, the great New York
merchant and philanthropist, in an
nouncing his reasons for supporting
Mr.. Bryan, said:
al feel sure that he will be elected,
and say, as a business man, one who
is as much interested perhaps as any,
in the general prosperity of the coun-
try, as one who is bound to 'feel per-
sonalIy any lack of prosperity among
the masses, that | believe his election
will be benefit to all the country,
and to all of the people. Those that
talk otherwise, those that predict panic
and disaster, as the result of the cleo
ton CT an honest man, chosen by an
honest majority of the people, are mar
row minded and short-sighted, or pre-
tend to believe that which they know
is not true, or they are seeking to OBJ
scure the real and vital issues of the
campaign. Mr.. Bryan will make a
safe, reliable, conscientious president,
a president for all of the people, the
rich and the poor, the big man and
the little. He will represent the
American people, not any class, and
for that reason | shall work for him
until election and vote for him on
election day."

Is 1t the way you do when bank sus-
ponds? No! the very rumor that a
bank is little uncertain makes a
rush of depositors, and they make it
insolvent whether it was insolvent or
not.
"This plan protects the depositors;
It protects the community, and it is
good for the bank as well.
"a would rather see the banks attend
to the banking business than to have
1t transferred to the government, and
because prefer to have the banking
business done by the banks rather than
by the government, ! urge the guar
anty of deposits as the easiest solution
of our difficulties"

Taft. This typical representative of
Wall street declares that Bryan is I'M
safe and that Judge Taft will make an
ideal president. A few days ago he
addressed a big crowd of eastern
