the portly Judge in place of the Rougl Rider President, but must turn tt Bryan instead.
 Such was the situation as it wal presented after the Presidential cam paign had been fairly developed, ano it is the situation today if conditions have not been changed by cast out. pourings of money in the great and doubtful States like New York. Ohio. and Indiana. It Is known that the the President and Judge Taft's chief supporters have been desperately alarmed at the strong probability that fhey were going to lose those States. and there was no other recourse but 10 pour out money. i
 Times have always been. hard and they are now not much improved m those great commonwealt1s, and a few millions of dollars distAibutcd m each of them would be likely to make make a change. The talk that all the greal trusts and corporations were refusing to subscribe to the Taft camp,;algn ,;a fund is the worst sort Of bosh' ThoSe nowerful combinations. in all probabil : ity, would not have put up money Ior, I., another term of Roosevelt, but they must and will for Taft, They cannot afford to lose the game they have been so long playing under the protectlou of the Republican party, and-they :"
 lose 1t if money will win,
 There Is the solution Of the Rad.ont' R nrohlem that is to be decided on TueS. dav one week from today. Bryan VII Se President of the United States m IeOe unIess New York, Indiana and Ohio shall have been bought up "luN unlimited money.

JUST so EVERYWHERE.

Recently up in Northern New York an ex-convict committed brutal crime of the sort for which negroes are sometimes lynched in the South. A mob was the immediate result, but the crowd did not proceed in the usual way, according to The New Haven Register. which says:
 For a posse containing all the men Tn town who could walk started on the ie trail or the man. Failing to locate vices or an Indian, who soon led them to small mountain. and told them the man was on top of this. The posse surrounded the height, and as the man shoWed no disposition to surrender, the 6rlght Idea occurred to smoke him out. So a ring of fire was started around ms ms refuge and as nothing hut an un- iIAey ram can just now stop a wood ana hre, 1t is probable that by this @ .liIle the man is more or less
 There have been some indignant protests in the North against an oc- easlonal southern habit of lynching oy hre. Such protests are folly, as is To a large extent all criticism of southern lynehing. Difference in iati- Lude makes little difference in human
 
 what the State. In this case, it would seem that the enterprising Northerners who started ring of fire and smoked out their quarry were giving points to their Southern brethren.
 lynching is lynching, bad al- ways and everywhere. The spirit which promotes 1t is bad. whether it IS displayed in hanging or the whip ping post. Against lynching and the lYnching spirit stands the sentiment of the best citizens, both South and North. For the rest, all sections are about the same.
 We don't know that the Southern men need any pointers" when they determine on a lynching, but The Reg ister is one of the few New England papers to see and admit that lynch. ing Is not a peculiarly Southern fall. ing. As a general proposition like causes produces like effects, and the crime which sometimes arouses un. governable fury in the South is likely to have the same effect up North The ! means employed by these New Yorker. to get their prisoner. however, shows how much more cautious and less i'm. | pulsive they are. Down here when tho avengers had sighted their prisoner as was done In the above case they would have rushed his hiding place and brought him out. some of then probably being killed in the charge but the New York mob took the safei plan of smoking him out. It was th' safer plan. but the end was doubles! the same, as the prisoner--if he wa! found alive, has not been heard O. since. Human nature is about in same. North and South.

cortelyOu to Issue Bonds.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
 Washington, Oct. 2e.-As soon arter the election as seemly, Secretary Cortelyou will issue s50,0oG.oo0 of 3 per cent bonds for the Panama Canal It is feared that an issue before the election would have { bad erect upon the voting to be done next week.
 The issue will be made under au- thority of a statute enacted al the time President Roosevelt was ordered to proceed with the digging of the waterway forthwith. Banks needing bonds to bo used as the basis or bank- ncte circulation have been looking for the issue for long time, but the administration. for political reasons. could not see its way clear to accom- smodate them. "A. necessary oy the continuance or the rgIn let cen income and outgo or GhN Treasury. That difference a..0unts 1S 4.ont $4.UvV.00o month. which makes it obvious that appropi- attons for the canal can not be taken done at the beginning of the work. Bonds alone can supply the money
 Theoretically, the Treasury Is but lending the money used for constIuess ton of the canal to that project and still theoretically, It is incumoenL ap- on the canal to reimburse the Treas- ury Tn fact, however, it was the pur- pose of the administration and the Republican leaders in Congress to pay for the construction ot the canal out of the ordinary revenues, the au, thority to issue bonds being granted axainst the possibility of the Treasury not having money enough to meet the drain.

IS IT A JokERs

The Presidents letter to Senator Knox. of Pennsylvania-which compar- atively few people have read, we sus- pect--has given rise to quite a variety of comment. The New Bedford Stand afd looks at it this way:
 President Roosevelt's letter to Sem ator Knox is far and away his best contribution to the campaign. He IS himself partly responsible for the feel ing which he seeks to combat because he has heretofore spoken broadly and tioas, and with, general charges against the courts which he could not or at least did not think-back up when called upon for the evidence In detaf1.
 We are somewhat curious to know if The Standard really intended to in- innate. as its language plainly infers, that the letter was a good one because 1t was in part an admission on the part of the President of some of his own misdoings and shortcomings. The language really sounds that way, and perhaps the letter sounds good to that
  thing like a confession by Roosevelt that he has not always been without fault
 The New York Sun which has a confirmed habit of shining in what ever direction 1t pleases, and on whom soever it chooses. discovers a genu-
 
 tion with this letter. and pronounces it a great fraud. According to that papers view of it "just fifty sixty sevenths" of the letter is fraudulent. and was not written by Roosevelt. In fact, to put 1t in plain and brutally frank English, the letter is lie. And then comes The New York World with this:
 A large part of President Rooseveft's | letter to Senator Knox is palpably the | work of an able and experienced law yer. MT. Roosevelt is not an able and Can 1t be possible that the same hand | which wrote Mir. KnoX's "admira ble 1 speech also wrote President Roose- velts congratulatory letter to the
 
 Is not that rather queer story Of course Roosevelt will declare with his usual heat that any one who dis putes his authorship of the letter is a liar. but such charges from him 1 have pretty much lost all force and l significance, because an. intelligent public has learned his habit of deny ing anything he doesn't desire to ad- init, regardless of whether his denial has any foundation or not Quite a nice little scheme. is it not for s Senator to make a speech and then write himself a congratulatory letter and sign RooseveIts name to it?
