BROTHER CHARLIE TOO

If al of the men who have been
mixed up in crooked deals and been
associated with trusts are to be
tared with the same stick, there is
a probability that the supply of tar
will be exhausted before the last man
Is reached.
1t has been reported from seeming
ly reliable sources and the story Is
not denied in Paris, where the tran2ac-
tlon took place that a few Amer
lean capitalists spent some time in
the French capital making a deal
for the franchise OF the French COM
pany which some years ago undertook
to dig the Panama canal and made
failure Of IL. This franchise, il Is
claimed, was purchased FOR practical
ly nothing, the price paid being very
Insignificant when the Importance of
the holding Of the French company is
considered. Those men were, in the
common parlance of the race track
upon the inside" They knew that
the United States was going TO under
take the completion OF the canal and
they knew that the government
would want the holdings of the
French company. The rights we're
secured and when the United States
government was ready to begin work
the franchise was sold to It at an
enormous figure. There was no pat
riotism in the souls of the men who
had bought the franchise. They did |
not walk up and inform the govern
ment that they held the rights and
would dispose OF them at a resaon- |
able profit or at no proht at all,
merely to assist in the great work |
which is sure 10 be a greater ad-
vantage TO this than any other ma
tion. They piled on the figures TO the
selling price and made very hand |

gives Mr.. ,Gullbert, who has made the

t Was Taft on the First Ballot

Just before going to press last night
the news came over the wire that w.
H. Taft was nominated for president by
the republican national convention, in
session at Chicago, on the first ballot.
That there were stirring scenes before
the nomination was announced one
may we'll believe. That his nomina-
ton was morally sure has long been
known, and yet what might have been
accomplished with the magic OF the
presidents name has not for moment
been lost sight OF by the observing
public. To a large majority OF the
American voters it is a sustaining COM
fort to be assured that the Roosevelt
policy will be continued. While Mr..
Taft may not receive so large popular
vote as would have been given to the
president had he consented to accept
the nomination, his election is none
the less sure.
