IDLE QUESTIONS.

Our Philadelphia contemporary, The Record has a way of asking questions that it ought to know will not be an- swered. 'If Haskell and duPont have to go" it remarks. because of their relations to trusts. why does not the President take note that the treas urer of his own party is a director in a dozen industrial combinations and has been the promoter of several. some of which have been no more successful than Mr. Haskells railroads. and at least one of which is quite as much of a mo- nopoly as Mr. duPont's Powder Trust? If the President Is not aware of the in- innate relations with trusts of several other persons actively associated with the campaign he is personally conduct ing for the supposed benefit of Mr. Taft his ignorance will be dispelled by reading a telegram sent to him by MT. spivey, president of the Victor Safe and Lock Company"
 The Record should know that the President will not answer questions of this kind. The men referred to are use fuI to him and he'll not embarrass them as long as they stand by him. We have no belief that he would ever have turned his wrath on Foraker if the lat ter had served him faithfully and shown himself a supporter and booster of Taft for the nomination. The men mentioned by The Record may be fully as bad as Foraker and Haskell were charged with being but they are use ful to Roosevelt and Taft and that hides a multitude of sins.

Harriman.s s2eo.OO0.

New York World.
 As we understand Mir Roosevelt's S defense of the Hartman campaign contribution
 l. It was entirely proper for MT '. Roosevelt to solicit this money, be- cause he intended to bunco Hartman and did bunco him.
 2. Secrecy was necessary because MT. RooseYelts motives might have been misconstrued by low-m minded per- sons who would see in the transaction q sordid attempt on the part of Harri- man to control the Presidency through the use of tainted money.
 3. Publicity of sucn a contribution before election might have thwarted the high moral purpose of Mir Roose- welt in separating Hartman from his money without giving him anything in return.
 4 Other Presidential candidates should never be permitted 10 engage in similar negotiations, because even were they sufficiently patriotic to re- pudlate the moral obligation they would not be sufficiently practical to deceive a man like Hartman
 5. The fact that it was Theodore Roosevelt who did this is a complete answer to all hostile criticism.
 Having defended the contribution. perhaps MT. Roosevelt will now ex- plain just how the money was used. as Hartman said, to turn 5O,0OO votes tn the election.

 All the Democratic nominees were elected two years ago except Hearst. Hughes defeated him and thus New York people showed that a majority of them were Democratic. but would not stand for such man as Hearst. The indications are all good for Democratic success. but Hearst is running a State ticket with the purpose, it is believed of helping the Republicans carry the State.

What Is Local Option.

CdNdHldn NEWS.
 What is local option? The Pennsyl- vania Anti-Saloon League. which Is making a fight for a local option law in that state. has issued q circular ex- plaining the question. It says: Its essential element Is the rule of popular government. There can be no principle legislation more American or more democratic. To refuse the riEht of the people to determine such a question for themselves by communities" is throughly at variance with our Ameri- can usa ges. Local option is neither a partisan nor a facttonal question. It simply means the rule of the people" All of which is perfectly true; But preaching that sort of doctrine sounds queer in Georgia. where actual prohi- bition was making excellent headway under local option law with fair DOTS poets of driving the liquor tariff entire iy out of the state by the will of the majority in locai self-government. when local option was killed and the state was left open to an invasion of blind tigers, which beasts are said now to turk in communities that were dry" and did not konw them under local option.
