Costly New Rank Bu,Ia,,p

The National City Bank of New York,
commonly known as the Standard OIL
bank, has begun to demolish the old GUS

Republican SauahhIes.

The anti-R oosevelt-Taf Republicans
have been denouncing the use of Presl-
Dental patronage to influence the Sc
lection of delegates to the Republican
convention. That only those favorable
to the Presidents policies" were being
appointed was charged in all directions
and much of the evidence seemed to
confirm the charges. Now comes Presi-
dent Roosevelt and enters a general
denial and declares that the boot is on
the other leg, for those who have been
violating the Civil Service injunctions
'have been men who are not working
for Mr.. Taft"
Yet in spite of this denial by Presi-
dent Roosevelt of the misuse of official
patronage, his admission that his lin
reference With patronage matters in
Ohio has been limited to insisting, as
should insist anywhere else, that op-
position to the purposes, policies and
friends of the Administration shall not
be considered as necessary prerequis-
ite TO holding the commission of the
President" would seem to admit that
only Roosevelt men are placed on guard.
The next day Senator Foraker in the
Senate gave the evidence that convict
ed President Roosevelt Of trying to
coerce an Ohio postmaster. These Re
publican squabbles over the spoils of
Office, and the evident intention of the
dominant Republican faction to per-
petuate its power by all means possible.
is OF little interest to Democrats, ex-
cept as it interferes with good govern
ment. 1t is quite certain that the
Foraker Knox Cannon-Fairbanks fac
ton would do what they are charging
the President with doing and the only
Republican mentioned for President
that would be at all likely to reform
the abuse of patronage Is Governor
Hughes. For that very reason the Re
publican politicians, including President
Roosevelt, are opposing the ambition of
Governor Hughes and most of those
who appear to be helping him are mere
~ doing so to defeat the Roosevelt fac
ton
Such is the groveling attitude of the
Republican politicians and from q ma
trlotic standpoint 1t would seem that
the independent voters must be heart
lily sick of both factions Turn the ras-
Gals OUT

HIGH SCHOOL IS RAzED.
Fire Destroys 100000 Building In
Sturgeon Bay.

Sturgeon Bays magnificent 100000
high school building was destroyed by
fire early on recent morning. When the
blaze was discovered about 4 80 the
whole bottom floor was in flames. Not
single thing was saved, all the yalua-
BILE records being among the losses. Near
ly every family in town suffers a loss, as
all of the thousands of dollars worth of
school books in the twelve grades were
destroyed. There was only $4,000 of
insurance on the building and contents.
Immediate steps will be taken to resume
school sessions in vacant buildings and
to make arrangements for rebuilding.
Sturgeon Bay is left practically without
a school, as the burned building con-
tanned the high school and provided quar-
tiers for the First, Second and Third
ward grammar schools.

and although it has thus produced pros
perlty for the few, it has also helped
to cause panic that has shaken the
foundations of the financial and bust
ness affairs of the country.
The Republicans now face a demand
for tariff reform in their own ranks
from the manufacturers who are not in
trusts or combines, who find that the
Steel Trust, the Coal Trust, the Paper
Trust, the Leather Trust and other
trusts, have so increased prices of the
partly manufactured articles they pro-
duce that those who use such in their
business, like the manufacturers Of
steel into implements and the factories
that use coal and the newspaper pub
fishers and shoe manufacturers, are
combining for tariff reform.
The Republican program of standing
pat Is therefore in such danger of de-
feat that there is a panic In the ranks
Of the protectionists. For they find
their home market dwindllng because
the people are unable to pay the high
prices demanded and the foreign mar
kets closing against them, through the
increased tariff of foreign countries.
AS that eminent Democrat, Governor
Douglas OF MASSACHUSETTS, declared in
a statement published last September,
a month before the panic: "Just what
will happen and how far business de-
preston will po before wa AFRO aoaip
on a sound working basis | do not pre-
tend to say. That the process of a re-
adjustment is begun is evident" The
remedy Governor Douglas proposes, ''is
to remove the tariff duties that protect
the hundreds of trusts that prey upon
us and that are fattening on the life
blood of our homes and industries"
