announce the publication of all contribu-
tions Immediately upon receipt. If he
does 30 he will not appreciably diminish
his resources and he will force his rival
to shut up or to refuse to receive any
pecuniary support from any source.
This last alternative is distinctly allur-
ing and is entitled to prayerful considera-
ton, particularly in campaign where
neither candidate can expect to receive
much money from any source. 1t seems
as if it would be a blessed thing to go
into the White House without solitary
obligation to anybody; to owe ones
whole duty to the Office and to the people
that conferred it; to be able to appoint
all the James Russell Lowells, John Hays,
Edward j. Phelpses, John A. bikes, John
Bigelows, Joseph Choates, George P.
Marshes and Robert M. McLanes in the
country to Ambassadorships as a recog,
milton of intellectual distinction merely;
to be able to fill the offices, big and little,
with checkless men of fitness and charac-
ter, and to be able to ask people to dinner
on the austere ground that they were
congenial as well as of clean habit.
The whole question of money in poll
tics is like to be rudely readjusted in
this campaign; and it strikes us that
therein Les the most interesting and per-
haps the most important problem of this
political year.-N. Y. Sun.

Anti-lmperialist Call.

Boston, July 16.-The Anti-Imperialist
League came to life again today and cele
brated the event by sending out an appeal
to its friends to bolt Taft in favor of
Bryan. The appeal says in part:
We believe in the Declaration Of indie
pendence. We believe in the Constltu-
ton of the United States. We deny that
either the President or Congress can gov
ern any person anywhere outside the
Constitution.
Because we thus believe we recon-
mend our friends and fellow citizens to
withhold their votes from William H.
Taft, who stands upon the Republican
platform, which denies independence to

Publicity of Campaign Expenses.

Here and there an honest Vermont ed
itor has the courage to demand law
governing the publicity of campaign ex-
penses in this state, but in general the
professional political instinct keeps the
majority of them silent. Politics in this
state is becoming specially trained
calling and many newspapers hesitate
about antagonizing the men in their
communities who are regularly expected
to "deliver the town" to the candidate
who is able and willing to purchase their
services. Samuel Beadell, Hiram Hanks,
Peter Swizzle and Timothy Grasse have
kinsmen and sympathizers in every town
of this state. They do not desire to be
tagged because the tagged politician gets
no votes. Doesn't this hint at corruption
and unfairness strongly enough to make
law requiring publication of campaign
expenses and registration of political
workers an act of party and public de-
cency?-Rutland Herald.

ways of opposing the attitude of Mr..
Taft may be welcomed, it is obvious that
direct support of Mr.. Bryan is an effec.

AN EPISODE.
Sad Experience of the Wife of a Writer

Sad Experience of the Wife of a Writer
of Fiction.
His wife gazed at him In open eyed
wOndernent. She was not used to II
at all, for he had been absolutely neg.
lecting her for the last month or two.
when l see you, sweet all that ]
have dreamed OF love and happiness Is
mine. The stars CLEAN brighter. the
flowers smell sweeter, and my life is
filed with an ecstasy that cannot be
translated into words"
She was thrilled with Joy that had
not been hers for many days and was
about TO cast herself into his arms
when he waved her off.
Through long vistas would l wan
der with you arm in arm. would
note with you the brooklet's playing,
the susurrous message of the trees,
the piping of the merry birds, and all
LIES poesy shall be for us alone All,
blessed Already, where lovers roam!-
She moved about uneasily and long
ed for the caress that seemed bound to
come with the words he uttered, but
he went on In a strange monotone.
mo sorrow can avail while we two
are together. OF the fount Of perpet-
ual happiness shall we drink. and all
our long days shall We be of amending
comfort each to the other"
She had to interrupt him. She
couldn't stand 1t longer. With one
swift bound she threw herself around
him in loving embrace, only to have
him cast her rudely aside.

30 obsessed by the new novel am
writing. and can't get some Of the

And he left the room. leaving her a

Hearst Cant Stand Bryan.

The following cablegram from w. r.
Hearst has been received in reply to a
message transmitted to Mr.. Hearst from
Samuel Gompers stating that in view of
the Democrats stand for ''labor" it would
be ian act of greatest patriotism for the
Independence party to indorse the DEM
ocratic platform" and urging him not to
run a third ticket, as that would elect
Mr.. Taft:
Paris July, 10.
Tell Mr.. Gompers that am not author
lied to speak for the membership of the
Independence League, but according to
my personal standards, a purer patriot
ism consists in laboring to establish new
party which will be consistently devoted
to the interest of the citizenship, ant
particularly to the advantage and adj
vancement of the producing classes.
do not think the path of patriotism lies
in supporting discredited and decadent
old party, which has neither conscien-
tious conviction nor honest intention, or
in indorsing chameleon candidates who
change the color of their political opin-
ion with every varying hue of opportun-
ism. l do not think the best benefit of
laboring men lies in supporting that old
party because of sop of false promise,
when the performance of that party
while in power did more to injure labor
than all the injunctions ever issued be-
fore or since. l have lost faith in the
empty professions of an unregenerate
Democracy. l have lost confidence in
the ability, in the sincerity, and even in
the integrity of its leaders. do not con-
slider it patriotism to pretend to support
that which. as citizen, l distrust and
detest, and earnestly hope that the In
dependence party will give me an oppor-
tunity to vote for candidates that are both
able and honest, and for declaration of
principles that is both sound and sincere.
