BRYAN AND ROOSEVELT DISCUSS

BRYAN AND ROOSEVELT DISCUSS
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
In the recent exchange of letters
between Mr.. Bryan and President
Roosevelt the latter approved the
publication Of campaign contributions
after election but argued that the
publication of such contributions
should not be required before cleo
ton. Among other instances he cit
ed his famous correspondence with
Hartman, and the contributions from
Hartman and his friends to the 1904
campaign, which followed as result
If his solicitations. President Roose-
yelt contended that the publication of
such contributions before the election
would give rise to false impressions.
Here are his own words to MIR. Bry-
{ = - 4 :
en- on that subject:
You and your. supporters would
have endeavored to use the fact OF
it. (T'he Hartman contributions
having been made as an insincere and
untruthful argument to show that i
could not be trusted to deal out ex-
act justice to Mr.. Hartman. No
stronger argument against your prop
osition has yet been advanced than
this that you have thus unconscious
ly advanced"
And MT. Bryan replied to the fore
going as follows:
You are the first conspicuous
member of your party to attempt an
explanation aof athe party's opposition
to publicity before the election, and
the admission which you make will
embarrass your party associates. Yoil
position is that the publication before
election of the contributions made to
your campaign fund would furnish
4 = Z
your political opponents an opportu.
nifty to give q false impression as to
the fitness Of the candidates. u,
you cite as illustrations the CON
tributions made to Governor Hughes
campaign fund, the contributions col.
lected by MI. Harriman, and the con-
lributions collected for Mr.. Taft's
campaign fund. You charge in
effect, that the people are
SO lacking in intelligence that
they might condemn as improper con-
t4ibuti0ns which you declare to be
proper. If the voters differ with you
on this question. are they necessarily
ignorant and wrong? Must the mem
bers Of the party organization act as
self-appointed guardians OF the peo-
pie and conceal from them what is
going on, lest the people be misled
as to the purpose and effect of large
ntributions? Is this your explana-
ton OF the action of the Republican
leaders in the National Convention in
voting down publicity plank? If you
will pardon the suggestion, believe
t.at d better explanation can be
found in Holy Writ, for do we not
read of men loving darkness rather
than light because their deeds are
esil?"
Is 1t any wonder that there was an
abrupt ending to Mr.. Roosevelt's let
tors to Mr.. Bryan? The republican
national committee may have smash
ed the president into silence with /;
big stick. At any event the commit
lee had great provocation for silenc
ing him in some way.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-Four Sisters
Of Mercy" were arrested last night in
raid BY City Detectives on ST. Jo-
seph's Home for Orphans at 202
Thirty Sixth Street. Despite the
precautions taken by the police An
tonic de Lubics, said to be the head
OF the institution and claiming TO be
out for him. 1t is feared he has fed
the city, but detectives were on his
a priest, escaped the dragnet spread
trail early today.
The raid followed complaints made
to the Anti-cruelty Society and to the
health department by neighbors who
often heard sounds of merriment in
the Asylum" in the early morning
hours. Mrs. Mary Pillar, until a
week ago employed at the place, was
the first to tell of the midnight mer-
riment and of the severe beatings ad-
ministered to the little orphans in
the home.
The Sisters of Mercy" are Helen
Myslivers, II years old; Mary Mar
engo. 19 years old: Fidelia Lazarus,
20 years old and Sarapheni Polner,
Is years old The Myslivers girl told
the police how the home was main
tanned and how DeLubics conducted
himself She denied that the child
rem fed at the Institution were mis-
treated, but asserted that sometimes
they were "chastised for being un-
ruly."
81 have been at the home for long
time, but | never kept count Of the

DeLubics," she said, We were not
permitted to keep any track Of the
money handled by us for that was

got the veil The place is not so bad
as the neighbors would have you be-
lieve for there were no scenes there
at any time. We are "Sistrs Of Mer-
cy' and are doing lot Of good work
in that part of the city for there are
always lot Of little orphans in the
home"
The police will make further in
vestigation Of the home today and
will probably ask that the four girls
under arrest be sent to home else

Der in Allan R. Hawley, who finds
that business will not permit of his

Mr.. Hawley's inability to take part in

Lieutenant Lahm is experimenting

Returns from the primary election:

also in Okanogan County. He is car
rying Yakima, his home county, by
vote OF 5 to |, while Ankeny is
carrying Walla Walla, the Senator's
home county, to |.
For governor on the Republican
ticket, Mcbride appears to be leading,
though Mead and Cosgrove are show

For Congressman, Pointdexter ap-
