DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL TICKET
For PresAdent-W. ]. BRYAN, of Ne

of Indiana.
MANAGING THE CAMPAIGN.

That the big corporations of the
country, representing what we have
been taught to refer to as 1.-The sys-
tenn" or 1.-The interests" are not only
supporting the candidacy of Mr.. Taft
but are in fact managing his cam
paign, is no longer denied. Only yes
terday. Alfred Crozier, a well known
republican, publicly demanded the
resignation of General Dupont, head of
the indicted powder trust, from the re-
publican campaign committee. Wneth-
er or not General Dupont will resign
remains to be seen, but even if he does
it is certain that his place will be
filled by another trust magnate.
The Statesman has already COM
mented upon the methods used in the
selection of Sheldon for the treasurer
ship of the national committee 1t has
told how William Nelson Cromwell
persuaded Taft to shelve Congressman
Mckinley, who had been slated for the
position, to make a place for a man
who was able to do the corporation
fat-frying act.
1t may be that there are some peo-
pie who don't know just who Mr.. Shell
don is. Some people may want a bill
OF specifications showing just what is
his connection with 1.-The interests
For the information of those people
let it be known that Mr.. Sheldon is
the head and front of Sheldon & Com

limited States Senator Ankeny was the
dragging in of the name of Mrs. M. l..
Slater. It happens that Mrs. Slater
has had nothing whatever to do with
Senator Ankeny's committee. She was
appointed by Senator S. II. Piles as a
messenger on his committee on coast
and insular survey: and Senator Piles
declares of his own personal knowledge
that she did her work faithfully. Col
lier's mentioned Mrs. Statter's name In
order to make it appear that some one
presumably Senator Ankeny- had
padded" the senate pay rolls. The
accusation is shown by Senator Piles
to be entirely groundless.
When Yakima Jones introduced
House Bill 24,76O, which was passed
by congress January 80, 1907, he start
ed legislation which donated water
rights now valued at not less than
million dollars to a private corporation.
H. B. 24,760 dealt with the Big Falls
or Metaline Falls, in Stevens county,
and it made the valuable grant to the

The foregoing are but two instances
of Jones activity in behalf of private

TIE, INCONSISTENCY OF IT.

Republicans of Washington In con-
vention assembled at Spokane last
May went on record in favor OF the
enactment of such laws in both state
and nation as will safely protect and
guarantee the deposits in all banks
Candidate Taft in his speeches is Wig
orously opposing any plan which seeks
to guarantee bank deposits.
Were the republicans in Washington
wrong and is Candidate Taft right?
Republicans in Washington in con-
vention assembled at Spokane last May
expressed their belief in the direct
election of United States senators by
adopting a resolution insisting on the
filing of the primary pledge by legis-
lative candidates. United States Sem
ator Ankeny, who is candidate for
reelection, voted in the senate for a
constitutional amendment providing for
the election OF United States senators
by a direct vote of the people. And
yet, by an overwhelming majority the
republican national convention voted
down a resolution demanding the di-
rect election of senator's
In the face of these two distinct
points of divergence between the re-
publicans in Washington and the ma
tional republican organization, what
are republicans here to do?
Are they to admit that they are of an
inferior order of intelligence than their
brothers vJho assembled in Chicago
and nominated Taft?
Are they to acknowledge that they
hof flox- FOL lii
about when they declared for the di-
rect election of United States senators
and when they, like the republicans OF
Kansas at more recent date, declared
for the guarantee of bank deposits?
Or are they just to forget all about
it, and vote 'er straight"

In the Crowded District.

Over on the East Side-on Chrystie
street, to be explicit-the writer count
ed over 400 children in one short block
some in rags and some with practi-
cally no clothing whatever. Here the
boiling sun strikes down through the
narrow street, and even the hardened
vegetable dealers operating their push
carts in the filth, seem almost ex-
hausted from the terrific radiation of
the street, and the absence of aircur-
rents between the high, hot brick walls.

THE BATTLE OF SUMMIT SPRINGS

The principal feature with Buffalo
Bills Wild West this season is a re-
production of The Battle of Summit
Springs, one of the deciding conflicts in
the governments task of subduing the
red skin. Col. William F. Cody c'Buf-
falo Bill') participated in the original
battle on July II, 1869, at Summit
Springs near the western border CT
Nebraska. In this battle Chief Tall
Bull, who was in command of the
renegade Indians, or Dog Soldiers
as they were called, was shot and kill
ed, at a distance of about forty yards,
by Buffalo Bill who shot him from his
horse. This important incident will.
of course, be reproduced as a part OF
the realistic mimic battle. General z.
A. Carr, who was in command of the
government forces; General E. NJ
Hayes, General William P. Hall, AMI
other officers who participated in the
original battle are still alive and will

"a Good Fellow" which is the title
of new comedy written by Mark e.

girl, Disgusting herself in male attore
for the purpose of visiting the man
whom she has secretly married, and
whose companionship has been denied

about many funny complications. Fem

"A Good Fellow

"A Good Fellow" is phrase that we
hear almost daily. 1t is applied to
both sexes. We term a man as being
"a good fellow" because he possesses
a jovial disposition, is liberal. and is a
postmaster at entertaining. He knows
how to make friends, and has facility
of holding them. He has the distinc-
ton of having people seek his society
after once being introduced.
"A good fellow" as applied to the
weaker sex is materially the same. In
speaking OF a woman as being "a good
fellow" denotes that she is willing to
