most influential paper in the state,
is having its influence. This paper,
which heretofore has been the
bible of the republicans of the
state, is fighting half Of the ticket
and warmly supporting the other
half. This paper repudiates Hast
ines and Lansdon and lovingly refers
to Senator Hepburn as King Hey
burn.
While il is to be expected that
most Of tie republicans Of the state
will vote their ticket, even, If they
do have to hold their nose while Sc
doing, yet there are thousand OF
them who would not do so if the
democratic party was harmonious
and there was a possibility Of not
throwing away their vote. As we
said last week it is very restful to
take the democratic mind from cur
own troubles to speculate upon the
troubles Of our friends, the enemy.

LOOK TO HIS OWN.

Everyone has heard of the scheme
NJ some burglars Of starting an IN
cendiary fire at one side OF d small
tovn in order to attract the citizens
away from their homes while the
robbers helped themselves.
President Roosevet'S action IN de-
pouncing Governor Haskell rather re-
minds the Miner of the actions OF
these men, for he is attracting atteh-
tion to democratic affairs while
there is reason to believe, the repuo-
lican party is helping itself to ques-
tionabe funds derived from all man
ner Of corporate interests.
Although the president asserts
that the governor is Standard vi
man. he has brought forward no PROOF
NJ tnat fact. and he has simply given
the world brazen assertion In the
place of evidence
one thing is attain and that Is
the great oil corporations Is not sup
porting the democrats In this tight
and there is every indication that all
the head 0lHcias Of that corporation
are assisting Mr.. TAFT.
Admitting Tor the sake OF argu-
ment that Mr. Roosevelt believes
that his impression of Governor Has
kelI is correct. how can he justify bis
condemnation Of him when he recalls
that four wears ago he sent for MI.

famous railroad magnate to raise a
quarter or uIliOn dollars for the
republican campaign In New York
state.
If Mr.. Roosevelt does honestly be-

should he, does IL not Ill become him

If stands to reason that one or the
urinary reasons why Hevburn does
not want direct primary law
enacted is because the professional
nolitician would be out OF JOB. Ii
we had primary law in this state the

not have been permitted to disrupt

The sooner we have an effective law
the sooner the people will rule ana
