TELLS OF
SLUSH
FUND
lRv Associated press.l

"a
Omaha, Neb., June 5.-Some light
has been thrown on the disposition
of the now famous "slush fund" of
$4,000, raised in New York in the
year 1904 and spent in the Nebras-
ka campaign, by a statement given
out today by Thomas N. Tfbbles, the
populist nominee for vice president
in 1904.
At that time Mr.. Tibbles was edi-
tor of the Independent at Lincoln,
and Bryan's Commoner was printed
by that plant.
Mr.. Tibbles said:
"Five thousand dollars of that
New York fund went into a special
edition of 10000 copies of the Inde-
pendent, which was gotten out for
the purpose of electing George w.
Berge as governor. This amount was
handed to us by Tom Allen, James c.
Dahlman and Col. John G. Maher,
and they secured the funds from the
democratic national committee on a
trip that they made to New York.
1.-THE day after Mr.. Bryan returned
from the st. Louis convention he
dropped into the Independent office
sat down at his desk and began
writing an editorial, the first words
of which were: II shall support Par
ker' We put that editorial in type

And Now It's 70.

So far this year, according to all
the accounts at hand, only one new uni
veisal language has been presented to
the world, namely, Ro, the product of
the international Language Society of
Cincinnati. 1t marks the fortieth
world language produced since Zamen-
hof published Esperanto in 1887.
Altogether, fully $50 languages are
said to have been invented since Sir
Thomas Urquhart, the knight of Gro
martie, in 1868 offered to a bewildered
public his decentralization" This
was "contrived and published both for
his own Utilitie, and that of all Preg-
nant and Ingenious Spirits" and was
divided into six books bearing the
formidable titles Neaudethaumata I"
Chrestasebeia, " Clereonomoparia, -
"Chryseomystes," "Neleodicastes,' and
"PhiloponaUxesis.'
1t might be supposed that that
would cure the world of its longing
for a common tongue, but the records
show undaunted zeal and ingenuity on
the part of many Europeans and some
Americans. A few of the inventors re-
main unknown; in some cases philolog-
ical societies have worked together to
solve the problem; and occasionally
one new tongue has provoked retalia-
ton. Thus Nolapuk in time brought
forth anti-Volapuk and the Marquis
de Beaufront's lido, published last year
was soon followed by an anonymous
rival named AntidO. These two Ian.
guages, in addition TO AIondlingvo
comprised the output of 1907 The
year 1906 also INTRODUCED three, and
so the list runs back with surprising
regularity. More than one-third of tn,
total number of these inventions have
appeared in the last fifty years.
Very little has been said up to dat,
about Ro. The numerals, beginning
zab, zad, zaf, zal, Fam, sound like &
chorus from one of the Cohan grand
operas You can almost hear the foJ
of the pupils feet as they rehears,
the kindergarten lesson. But thi:
bacllwardness as regards Ro-and, in
deed, as regards other new languages
may be due to the germ of genuin,
popularity which has been extended t,

The Inevitable in New York.

at was a pull" SO said Tommy
Traddles and so, today, say the Re
publican bosses of New York State as
they accept Governor Hughes as the
party nominee for governor the second
time in response TO insistent public de
mand and to urging from Oyster Bay.
The convention was one of the most
unique ever held in the State. There
was hardly a politician of influence
from Buffalo TO the Bronx who wished
to see Mr.. Hughes nominated, and vet
they were forced by self-preservation
TO take him, though he has not lifted
his hand 70. secure the honor. His singu-
lar conception OF public duty cannot be
better illustrated than by the state
ment sent out from Saratoga that when
1t was desired TO consult with somebody
representing him it was found that
there was no such person. Mr.. Hughes
was in Albany doing what he was
elected to do, and letting the conven-
ton do what the people elected the
delegates to it to do. No wonder the
bosses have a hard time understanding
him.
The anti-Hughes leaders may pos
sibly have gagged public sentiment
They may be right in believing they
viii have a hard time electing Mr.
Hughes. 1t is possible they have fairly
read the public mind in New York and
that the State is not ready for drastic
enforcement of the law, such as he has
insisted upon.
1t may even be they are right in
saying that he will be overwhelmed at
the polls. But if all these things are
true, it seems vastly more likely that
for the Republican party to repudiate
the governor and the reforms he stands
for would have been to court oblitera-
ton. No wonder no "high-class man"
could be found who would consent 10
stand against Hughes. Imagine a Re
publican candidate facing the voters Of
the State on an anti-Hughes PLATFORM
Conditions made the nomination of
any other man impossible from the
State standpoint. Viewed from a ma
tional standpoint, there does not seem
to be any doubt that Mr. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Taft sized up the situation
accurately. Right or wrong, the voters
outside of New York had formed the
conclusion that the New York bosses
. had decided to sacrifice an able, hon
est, and independent governor to the
behests of the gamblers and the law
breakers, and TO the love of power of
the oligarchy that rules the State They
had also concluded that the powers
higher up could stop the sacrifice. Fail
ure TO do SO would have sent a SILVER
up and down the spine OF all Of Mr..
Taft's friends in doubtful States.

Unless & firmer grip is taken on the

Service BegetS Patronage.

A recent bulletin on municipal street
railways in the British Isles from the
Bureau of Manufactures gives Wash
iugton occasion TO sit up and rub its
eyes. Three cities are reported-Hud-
dersfeld, Belfast, and Nanchestcr-aud
in each of them there is safety of car
Rage and efficiency of service. at a
low fare, which show municipal owner
ship to be no iridoscent dream.
Thus, in the city first named there
is "a population Of about 100000 with
an electric car service which cost only
S2,OO9.3S3. This does not mean two
lines of rust and franchise. Tt means
twenty-eight miles of track, seventy
ears, many of them double-deckers, and
a yearly total of lG,l30,334 passengers
carried.
Was this system run at a loss? Not
by a net surplus of S3l,7OO above all
operating expenses, interest, payments
on the debt, and depreciation. The rates
of fare ranged from a workmen's ,
cents per l.23 miles up TO s cents per
6.S5 miles, with a reduction of so per
cent between the hours of . and a. m.
and 4 TO 10 p. m.
Belfast has not had returns enough
TO meet expenses. But the trouble there
has been a scale of fares and q gen
crosby of service without parallel.
With a general charge Of 1 cents to any
point, there were maintained also a
limited charge of ? cents for carriage
within a radius of a mile from the cen
ter of the city, a universal 2-cent fare
up to s a. M, and a free bus line be
tween parallel routes. Now the fares
have been slightly increased and it is
expected the extra revenue will balance
the books.
In Manchester there is rather an
elaborate system of work peoples fares,
contract tickets, I-cent stages, and
school children's fares. Even so, the
net profits after every charge Is met
interest on mortgage, redemption Of
debt, income tax, and everything else
have exceeded $4,000 a year. But in
Manchester the fares range as high as
II cents, according to the distance
travelled.
Now the lesson Washington is to
learn from these three municipalities
is not to 90 out and fight for a rate of
fare less than six tickets for % cents.
There is no such lesson here; for in all
three districts the charges are graded
according TO distance traveled-which
Is the only reasonable system-and in
the end our fiat rate of six tickets for
a quarter is cheaper to the average
WashingtOnian. The lesson is that ex-
eellent construction, good wages (ac-
cording to the English scale) and, above
all else, generous service have been
made 10 pay cities in the operation OF
their own street car lines. No proposal
is urged that the District buy its street
car lines. But there Is a clear re-en-
forcement in the experience of Hud-
dersfeld, Belfast, and Manchester for
the old rule that the service begets the
patronage.
