Harriman's 100000.

AS we understand that Mr.. Roose.
paign contribution:
/. 1t was entirely proper for Mr..
Roosevelt to solicit this money, be-
cause he intended to bunco Hartman
and did bunco him.
2. Secrecy was necessary because
Mr.. Roosevelt's motives might have
been m~isconstrued by low-minded per,
sons who would see in the transaction
a sordid attempt on the part of Har.
riman to control the presidency
through the use of tainted money.
3. Publicity of such a contribution
before election might have thwarted
the high purpose of Mr.. Roosevelt in
separating Hartman from his money
without giving him anything in re.
turn.
4. Other presidential candidates
should eve be permitted to engage
in similar negotiations, because even
were they sufficiently patriotic to re.
pudiate 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 Mr.. Roosevelt will now eX,
plain just how the money was used,
as Hartman said, to turn $4,000 votes
in the eelction.

THRUST BUSTING" A FARCE.
Corporations Continue to Laugh at Ef-
forts to Regulate Them.

Judicial decision that the American
Tobacco Company is a trust and has
been and is operating in restraint of
trade is a typical triumph for the trust
busters. They maintained that it was
an unlawful trust, and it is. The court
said so, But the application for a re.
ceiver was denied and there will be no
other action taken until the case has
been decided on appeal. So, no mat
ter how much the tobacco trade is sub
ject to illegal restraint, at least a year,
probably two and possibly three years,
must elapse before the license granted
it by the court to continue its illegal
and, doubtless, Illicit career will ex-
pire.
The beef trust was busted" in the
same way. Every time a man pays
30 cents a pound for an 1S-cent steak
he is reminded that the beef trust was
not busted" but disciplined and for
ever enjoined from doing such things
again. 1t will not be very long before
every trust has been busted" and
what will poor robin do then if he
wants to be elected to office?

Trust Rarons in the Saddle.

If it is the purpose to use the pres
ent treasury conditions as an excuse
for not reforming the tariff, the thing
Is easy. This is clearly enough the
idea of the steel trust. The case OF
the tariff reformers is undoubtedly
stronger when there is a large surplus
and correspondingly weaker when
there is a deficit. Naturally, there
fore, "the steel trust insiders take this
view Of the situation" naturally "they
are smiling broadly at the promises OF
tariff reform" These people evidently
expect the duties on steel rails to be
kept about where they are now, and
do not look for any reform Of the tariff
except such as may be carried
through with their consent.

What did this campaign for the pres
idential success mean? Under
meath and back of the Fictitious and
personal scandals which President
Roosevelt has inspired and proclaimed
there is the real meaning of this
election. 1t is the substitution of the
rule of the people for the rule of trusts
and m~onopolies.
This is the point, the essence of
the Democratic position. The people
want a revision of the tariff that shall
make for easier living and better
wages. They want relief from the
burden of carrying the Philippines as
a satrapy when our national system
recognizes only free government. They
want an accommodation of national
expenditure to national income that
shall avoid the taxation of labor to
meet bureaucratic extravaganza,
These, and other things which Mr..
Roosevelt ignored in his booming OF
the Taft candidacy, our people want.
Can the interest of the people be di-
verified from these matters to the petty,
insignificant pretexts of the Republic
an hierarchy ?-Boston Post.

START TO SQUIRM
REPUBLICANS PLAN TO DEFEAT
WILL OF PEOPLE.
Revision of Tariff, for Which the
Voters Have Declared, Is Stated
to Be Indefinitely
Postponed.

When the election of Mr.. Bryan
seemed certain, Republican grand
dukes promised the people of the west
a special session of congress to
tighten the burden they carry for the
benefit of eastern tariff barons. The
special session was to be held imme-
$iately after election.
Now watch them squirm.
Instead of revising the tariff right
now, as the west had been promised,
Judge Taft says: The next congress
will be called in extra session by me
to carry out the party's pledge"
Here is the first squirm. 1t squirms
over into an indefinite next summer.
Again, in his statement, Judge Taft
says: The Republican party has
pledged itself to protect every indus
try"
Here is the second squirm. 1t
squirms past any %pretense of reducing
the load which the west carries for
benefit of eastern tariff barons.
Republicans and Democrats alike
demand tariff reduction. There is no
division Of opinion in the west. This
part of the country produces the flour
and the meat. Here is the coal. Here
are the IRON and the copper, Here is
where the real wealth of the nation is
wrought from nature by the toll of man.
The west is tired of %endowing Euro
pean nobility, and seeing the useless
sons and daughters of tariff barons
scatter American millions to amuse
parasitic titled l~oafers, their chosen
companions.
When Republican grand dukes
feared the election of Bryan, they
we're anxious to revise the tariff be
tween now and next March, hoping
to content the west and still protect
their friends, the trusts.
With a Republican victory the grand
dukes have already changed theil
tune. Roosevelt, the free trader O
1884, and Taft, a revisionist on hi!
western campaign, are become oper
standpatters.
The working west will still carry OF
it's tired shoulders the burden of the
idle east.

The Weiaht of RESPONSIBILITY.

Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic party
can find satisfaction in the thought
that they will not be responsible fol-
government during the next -four
years. President Roosevelt expressed
the opinion that it would be hazardous
to intrust them with power. Now the
Republican party must assume the
great undertaking of restoring pros
perity, getting control OF the trusts
and monopolies and bringing conf
dence back to that part CT the popula
ton which has felt that power has
slipped from the hands of the many
to the few. The Republican party has
before demonstrated that it is capable
of administering government and
meeting crises. 1t will now again be
put to the test. We do not believe
that Mr.. Bryan will envy it the task
To accomplish this it will need to rele
gate to the rear those party leaders
and all others who have forgotten the
people.

MATTER OF IMPORTANCE.

The clerks in the railway mail SER
vice have been making a fight for
some years to secure an allowance
from the government covering their
expenses while they are on duty. The
matter was brought to the attention of
congress but that body has taken no
action. A particular effort is being
made to secure favorable legislation to
this end this year and the clerks are
regarding as of special significance.
the following order which has recent
ly been transmitted to them from the
postoffice department:
To all Clerks: Please keep a record
during the month of September, 1908.
of the actual expense incurred by you
while on duty; that is from the time
you record your departure from the in

The accounts should be itemized so
as to show what money is expended
for, such as breakfast, dinner, supper.
lodging, etc, and the date on which
