ELIMINATING EVIDENCE IN
DEAD MANS LETTERS.

Authorities Say Nothing is Known
There of Death of PhladeI-

Philadelphia, July l0.-lnterest IL
the Wilson poisoning now centers III
the inquest To be held tomorrow
which Is expected TO develop sensa-
ton. 1t is probable that some of the
letters and private papers of the muir
dered physician may be admitted as
evidence, and if so number of Phil
adelpha doctors, if not actually drawn
into the case, will at least be smirch'
ed
A man who claimed to have seen
the private papers OF DR., Wilson, says
that stubs in a check book showed
that he had paid money to several
reputable physicians here. This man
added that if the letters and other
communications were ever published
scandal would ensue which would
involve wen known practitioners in
this city and New York.
The letters that | saw he added,
ARE only a part of DR. Wilson's cor.
respondence Nearly all of his pa,
tents were women, some poor, some
rich, two Of them from Kentucky"
The letter received yesterday b.
Fred Buchanan, the expressman who
received the poisoned bottle of ale
for transmission to DR.. Wilson, was
forwarded Immediately to the police
department.
Hunt For Authors.
While the police will not give out
the text of the letters, it is known
that the letter says that Buchanan
must tie careful not to identity any
one as the man who sent the poisoned
package
The writer also states that the po
lice will never get the right man and
that search further is useless.
The federal officers are assisting
the police in running down senders OF
the anonymous letters. The postal in.
spectors have been on the case from
the very beginning; that is, since ir
was definitely established that Dr.
Wilson had fallen a victim to the in,

Der of these were found in his home
and although they We're not signed, it

trust magnate contributes 500, 900 to eject
political friends to ofice, with a view to
preventing hostile legislation, why should
that fact be concealed until his friends
are securely seated in their official posi-
tons?
This is not a new question; 1t is ques-
ton which has been agitated-a question
which the Republican leaders fully under
stand-a question which the Republican
candidate has studied, and yet he re-
fuses to declare himself in favor of the
legislation absolutely necessary. name
ly, legislation requiring publication before
the election.
How can the people hope to rule. IL they
are not able to learn until after the cleo
ton what the predatory interests are do
ing? The Democratic party meets the
issue honestly and courageously. 1t says:
I'VE pledge the Democratic party to
the enactment of law prohibiting any
corporation from contributing to cam
palgn fund, and any individual from con-
| tributing an amount above a reasonable
maximum, and providing for the publ
| cation, before election, of all such con-
trlbutonS above reasonable minimum"
| The Democratic national committee i'm
| mediately proceeded TO interpret and ap-
ply this plank. announcing that no con-
| trfbutions would be received from cor
| porations. that no individual would be al
| lowed to contribute more than $4,000 and
| that all contributions above Sl00 would
be made public before the election-those
received before October 10 to be made
public on or before that day, those re-
| ceiyed afterward to be made public on
| the day when received, and no such con-
| tributions to be accepted within three
| DAYS of the election. The expenditures

of the requirements of the situation He
says:
IF am elected president, I shall urge
upon congress. with every hope of sue
cess that law be passed requiring the
filing, in a federal Office, of statement
of the contributions received by COM
mittees and candidates in elections for
members of congress, and in such other
elections as are conStitutionaIly within
the control of congress-
l shall not embarrass him by asking
him upon what he bases his hope of sue
cess; it is certainly not on any encour-
agement he has received from Republican
leaders. 1t is sufficient to say that if
his hopes were realized-if in spite of the
adverse action of his convention, he
should succeed il securing the enactment
of the very law which he favors it would
give but partial relief. He has read the
Democratic platform; not only his Ian
guage. but his evident alarm indicates
that he has read it carefully. He even
had before him the action of the Demo-
cratic national committee in interpreting
and applying that platform; and yet, he
fails to say that he favors the publication
of the contributions before the election.
OF course, it satisfies a natural curios-
ity to find out how an election has been
purchased. even when the knowledge
comes too late to be of service, but why
should the people be kept in darkness
until the election is past? Why should
the locking of the door be delayed until
the horse is gone?
An Election Public Affair.
An election is public affair. The peo-
pie. exercising the right to select their
officials and to decide upon the policies
to be pursued, proceed to their several
polling places on election day and reg
lister their will. What excuse can be Civ
en- for secrecy as to the influences at
work? If man. pecuniarily interested
in concentrating the control of the rail-
roads In one management" subscribes a
large sum to aid in carrying the cleo
ton. why should his part in the cam
paign be concealed until he has put the

Fears Denomination of Seals.


The Alaskan fur seal herd is being
rapidly exterminated by pelagic seal
ing vessels, mainly Canadians" said
Prof. David Starr Jordan. "These
sailing vessels follow the seal herd as
it moves along our Pacific coast in the
spring, and enters Bering sea at tho
end Of the close season in August,
when they are free, under the inefS
fectual regulations adopted by the
Paris tribunal, to use the spear-more
deadly than the shotgun-in killing,
outside of the 60-mile zone, the seals
that frequent these waters in pursuit
of food. AS these seals are mainly
females that have brought forth their
young on the Pribilof islands, the kill
ing of the mother seals results in the
starvation of the young upon the land,
and the inevitable rapid extinction of
the fur seal herd. Unless something
is done for the protection of the seal
herds. within five years not only the
Alaskan but also the Russian seal
herds will be completely exterminated
and deprive this country of a valuable
source of revenue ard the world of q
great boon" Washington Herald.

senators is most. responsible for the OBJ
struction of reforms. For 100 years after
the adoption of the constitution, the de-
mand for the popular election of senator's
While finding increased expression, did
not become a dominant sentiment. A
constitutional amendment had from time
to time been suggested and the matter
had been more or less discussed in a few
or the states, but the movement had not
reached q point where it manifested it
self through congressional action. In the
Fifty-second congress. however, reso-
luton was reported from 4 house COM
ulittee proposing the necessary constitu-
uonai amendment, and this resolution
passed the house of representatives by
a vote which was practically unanimous.
In the Fiftythird congress similar res
olution was reported to. and adopted by
the house of representatives. Both the
Fifty-second and Fifty-third congresses
were Democratic. The Republicans gained
control of the house a result of the
election of 1894 and in the Fifty-fourth
congress the proposition died in commit
tee. AS time went on, however, the SEN
timent grew among the people, until it
forced a Republican congress to follow
the example set by the Democrats, and
then another and another Republican
congress acted favorably. State after
state has Endorsed this reform, until near
~ two-thirds of the states have recorded
themselves in its favor. The United
States senate. however, impudently and
arrogantly obstructs the passage of the
resolution. Notwithstanding the fact that
the voters of the United States, by an
overwhelming majority. demand it. And
this refusal is the more significant when
1t is remembered that a number of SEN
ators owe their elections to great corpor-
ate interests. Three Democratic nation
al platforms-the platforms of 1900 1904
and 1ecS-specifically call for a change in
the constitution which will put the cleo
ton Of senators in the hands of the vo-
tiers. and the proposition has been in
dorsed by a number of the smaller par
ties. but no Republican national con-
vention has been willing to champion

ed to debauch elections. What can be
expected when official. authority is
turned over to the representatives of
those who first furnish the sinews OF war
and then reimburse themselves out of
the pockets of the taxpayers?
: Fasting in Wilderness Necessary.
So long as the Republican party re-
mains in power, it is powerless to re-
generate itself. 1t can not attack wrong
doing in high places without disgracing
many of its prominent members, and it,
therefore, uses opiates instead of the
surgeons knife. Its Indicators coIstrue
each Republican victory as an indorse-
ment of their conduct and threaten the
party with defeat if they are interfered
with Not until that party passes through
n period of fasting in the wilderness,
will the Republican leaders learn to
study public questions from the stand
point of the masses. Just as with in
dfviduals. the cares of this world and
the decetfulness of riches choke the
TRUTH so in politics, when party lead
ers serve far away from home and are
not in constant contact with the voters.
continued party success blinds their eyes
to the needs of the people and makes
them deaf to the cry of distress.
Publicity as to Campaign contribu-
tons.
An effort has been made to secure legis-
lation requiring publicity as TO campaign
contributions and expenditures, but the
Republican leaders. even in the face Of
an indignant public, refused to consent
to a law which would compel honesty in
elections. When the matter was brought
up in the recent Republican national
convention, the plank was repudiated by
vote of $50 to "a. Here, too, Mr.. Taft
has been driven to apologize for his con-
vention and to declare himself in favor
of a publicity law; and yet, if you will
read what he says upon this subject. you

The Gateway to Other Reforms.

Shall the people rule?" Every remedial
measure of a national character must run
the gauntlet of the senate. The presi-
dent may personally incline toward Il
reform; the house may consent to it:
but as long as the senate obstructs the
reform, the people must wait. The pres
ident may heed a popular demand; the
house may yield to public opinion; but as
long as the senate is defiant, the rule of
the people is defeated. The Democratic
platform very properly describes the pop
ular election of senators as 1.-The gate
way to other national reforms" Shall we
open the gate, or shall we allow the eN-
plotting interests to bar the way by the
control of this branch of the federal leg

and through a Democratic victory only,
! can the people secure the popular cleo
| ton of senators. The smaller parties are

| dency, those who are elected upon the

Personal Inclination Not Sufficient.

In his notification speech. the Repub-
ican candidate, speaking OF the cleo
ton of senator's by the people, says:
Personally, 1 am inclined to favor it.
but it is hardly party question" What
is necessary to make this party ques-
ton? When the Democratic convention
vote, and the Republican convention re-
1ects the proposition by a vote of seven
indorses proposition by q unanimous
to one, does it not become an issue be-
tween the parties? Mr.. Taft can not re-
move the question from the arena of poll
iucs by expressing a personal inclination
toward the Democratic position. For
several years he has been connected with
the administration. What has he ever
said or done to bring this question before
the public? What enthusiasm has he
shown in the reformation of the SEN
ate? What influence could he exert in
behalf of a reform which his party has
openly and VIGOROUSLY condemned in it's
convention. and to which he is attached
only by belated expression of personal
inclination?
