Grave Causes for Susnicinn

Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Sheldon, treasurer
of the Republican committee, assure
the country that there will be the
fullest publicity regarding campaign
contributions. 1t is insisted by both
that the New York law on the subject
covers the case, and that it will be OBJ
served to the letter. We are informed
further that even were there no law
there would still be genuine publicity.
We trust that these promises may be
kept. But the country would feel
easier if the convention that nomi-
mated Mr.. Taft had not rejected a
plank demanding publicity by an V
whelming vote. On the other hand, the
Democratic convention declared for a
law compelling publicity, and max
ing it a criminal offense for any cor.
poration to contribute to party funds.

No Note OF Equivocation.

Mr.. Bryan's acceptance speech is
clear, vigorous, terse, yet ample enun-
citation of the Democratic position in
this campaign.
There is in it no note of h~esitancy or
equivocation. 1t bears the traces Of
no editing or revising to meet the
views Of a power behind the throne.
1t has to do with ideas, ideals and
principles and is not taken up with
eulogies of any man or set Of men.
While there is no retreat or back
down on any of the principles for
which Mr.. Bryan has stood, at the
same time there is nothing in it
whereat any honest business man o.
mar Of property need take alarm; It
will be found exceedingly futile for
Republican editors to examine 1t with
a view to starting q Bryan scare

Do Not Complain.

Everything which happens, either
happens in such wise that thou art
formed by nature to bear it, or that
thou art not formed by nature to bear
it. If, then, it happens to thee in
such a way that thou art formed by
nature to bear it, do not complain, but
bear it as thou art formed by nature
to bear it. But, if it happens in such
wise that thou art not able to bear
it, do not complain; for it will perish
after it has consumed thee. Remem-
Der, however, that thou art formed
by nature to bear everything, with re-
spect to which it depends on thine
own opinion to make it endurable and
tolerable by thinking that it is either
thy interest or thy duty to do this,
Marcus Antoninus.

Headquarters of
General Count de Rochambeau,
Commanding the French Allies.

The general is represented at the
age of So years, when he was in New
port in 17S0-1781. The likeness is the
result of much research and study on
the part of the sculptor, who was
guided principally by an engraving of
the general preserved in an official
document which he had the opportuni.
ty of sketching in the National library
in Paris. Count de Rochambeau's
face, with its firm chin and strong
features, impresses the observer with
his soldierly qualities. The uniform
is that of a French general of the
period.
Beneath the medallion is a garland
composed of laurel and of oak. The
corners of the tablet are marked with
fleur de lis, while the border is orna-
mented with stars.

dining room was overlooking. Added
to the crowd Of the night was a gang
of men just arrived and clamoring for
breakfast before they were hustled on
the Front. There was none of the ex.
pectant quiet of the supper hour in
the green-embowered room. And Sally
B. was everywhere, generating the sit.
uation masterfully.
There was meager time for dream
ing, yet the heart of Stella dreamed
on, though her head bent faithfully
to its tasks at the office desk. The
night in f%airyland had passed, still its
visions held. Across the gulch tender
hands she knew were preparing the
dead for burial; but often as her
thoughts strayed there to death, still
ness, mystery, she whipped herself
back again to the hustle and hurry
around her. This she could endure,
float serenely over, with Alfred's eyes
ever on her own, his kiss still thrilling
her lips. Nor would she think of him
as flying from her. Plenty of time to
vision him far away, his mind occupied
with alien concerns. Plenty of time
to count off the days, the weeks
would it be months before she should
see him?
Before noon a man came in from
the east with two wagons and a six
horse team, bringing a message for
Sally B. 1t was an old newspaper,
crumpled and dirty.
Gust look a. here!" Sally B. said
excitedly, as she entered the Office
and held the paper out to Stella. Il
go to go to Bill humpin' quick-ter-
morrer, If I can git away. BY goll!
it'll beat the ole Harry for me to git
ready!"
Stella took the ~unsavory paper and
looked vainly for Sally BIS message.
The only noticeable thing was a string
of crosses on the margin.
ooh, l forgot. o. course, you can't
read Bills letter; nobody but me can.
See them two crosses first there?
Close together? Them means he's
well. See them four with lines over
n under? That says he's struck it
rich. Blamed rich. Lines under'd
mean pretty good; but lines on top,
too, means w~hoppin'! Them three
crosses standin' apart, them's grub.
There's a dot over each; that's all
kinds. There's a line under 'em; that
means lots of 1t. Oh, Bills hit a big
lead this time, no doubt o. that; an
he's layin' out to work it on the jump,
an with all the men he kin git" She
looked at Stella exultantly, but turned
quickly back to the hieroglyphics.
Here's one big cross standin' alone;
that's me; an the line under 1t means

Sally B. looked a little conscious.

not shrink from responsibility, but
from the horde of men. Travellers
strangers, men of the town, all would
make pretexts for lingering in the
Office or wherever they could find

And the Little Old Lady Had HeI
Confidence Restored.

She was a little old lady, so little
and so old that with c~onsiderate
friends she would never, never have
been allowed alone in the hurried
throng On the busy streets. She was
such an old little lady that she had
only just learned that there had been
trouble in the banks, and she had
made such haste as she could to be
sure that her money--all the money
she had saved-was safe.
Have you got my money! she
asked TREMENDOUSLY when she finally
reached the teller's window.
How much did you have?" asked
the teller kindly. No one could help

LET US NOT FORGET
REPUBLICAN USE OF DOODLE IN
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.
Present Party Leaders and DriIlers
Are of the Same Type as Those
in Charge of Last Presi.
dental Election.

For the time being Republican
boodlers are remarkably still and in
active. The course of the campaign
has not been marked by a single
money scandal. We do not believe the
Grand Old Party IS any more angelic
than it was in years past, but it is
either more cautious in its methods or
it has not recovered from it's Parker
scare and is afraid of the conse-
quences of any more scandals of the
kind which almost cost C~ortelyou his
reputation-in fact, would certainly
have cost him that valuable asset If
he had been a member of the minority
party. Judge Alton B. Parker is one
of the most responsible, high-spirited,
conscientious and clean citizens of
the United States. He is working
like a Trojan for the cause of Democ.
racy, and is the champion of a great
principle, the principle. of clean cam.
paigns.
Judge Parker, it may be remem
bered, and it should be remembered
it is high time we were remembering
a few things, this among others-posi
lively, absolutely, undeniably, incon
~trovertibly caught Cortelyou with thu
goods" He made direct charges
against Cortelyou, based on the lavisl
collection of money by that Repub
lican party manager and his adroi
use of the sums thus collected. Let us
FURNISH up u memories, and recall
the fact that the charges against Cor
telyou were proved to be true, but
that was the end of them. The Re.
publicans did not care to vitiate their
party success and imperil the results
of the campaign by acknowledging
the truth had been told concerning
their methods and the methods of Cor
telyou.
Let us refSesh those %treacherous
memories of ours. We forget too
much. Let us remember that Thomas
G. Platt took the witness stand and
confessed that corporations had
bought immusIty from the Repub-
licans. Let us remember that sworn
testimony on the witness stand re-
yealed the fact that insurance COM
panies had taken money which be-
longed to their policy holders, and had
given to the Republican party's funds
many sums ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000 at a time. In fact, when
George CortelyOu rOared, Come
through" they came through, early
and often.
Next let us remember the reyela-
ton of the Hartman fund. We should
not forget that it was shown that a
Hartman railroad pipe drained into
the Republican Doodle barrel.
Disgusting! Outrageous! Un-Ameri-
can!
Remember, no matter what the per-
sonal character Of Roosevelt may be,
and it is excellent; no matter what
the personal character of Taft may
be, and its chief feature is a phenome-
nal amiability which causes him to
smile on almost any playful prank on
the part of his political boys" no
matter what the personal habits and
characters of the bigger Republican
chiefs may be, the party leaders and
drillers, the bosses Of the Republican
rank and file are the same old crew
who shook down the insurance COM
panies and flashed the order to Harri-
man to attend to the drain pipe.

The moment for starting came, and

she held in her arms for a silent mo-

softly, placing Viola's hand in her
teachers. She's the hull world to

81 will, Mrs. Sally" Stella saw a
tear on the dark cheek as Sally B.
wrung her hand.
She was a picture as she climbed
to the high seat and took up the lines,

She wore a short, dark wooden skirt,
a calico waist, a white kerchief around
her neck and a mans felt hat. It'll
last better'n a woman's," she told the
girls, Huge-wristed gauntlets made
her hands look r~idiculously small, as
did the h~igh-booted foot that swung
out on the brake.
The sun had chased the mercury far
above the hundred mark in shady
hooks. On the porch the heat was in
tolerable. Yet the hotel people and
town folk were gathered there to sec
Sally B. off, and Vic Wah had donned
four satin coats in her honor.
Sally B. loosed the brake a trifle,
called to her leaders, waved a last
goodbye and vas off down the hill.
The load shook a little and settled to
its long haul, skyward as well as east
ward. The horses, rested and fresh,
snorted and tossed their heads, ratified
their m~etal-buckled harness; and one
of the swing team danced sidewise
down the road and out of sight. Sally
B. looked back frequently to see if her
freight was riding safely; and at the
last turn in sight, took off her hat and
swung it to the girls and grandma'am,
yet watching from the hot porch.
The crowd soon melted away and
left the three alone. Stella put her
arms around Viola, and they stood sc
an instant, both forlorn, oppressed.
Yet with one accord they remembered
grandma'am, and turned to help her
back to her cool room. And in that
service the homesick moment was
conquered.
