Gov. Sanders Touches a Vital SPOT.

For some time following the
last Presidential election strong
denunciations were INDUCED in
by the press and public men all
over the country of the practice of
corporations raising a corruption
fund for the purpose of aiding in
the election Of the Republican
candidate. 1t is almost univer-
sally recognized and acknow-
ledge that the high tariff practices
of the Republican party is main
ly responsible for the growth OF
trusts and corporations, which, in
turn, exercise a very great in
fluence in the Senate of the United
States, either in shaping laws
calculated to further develop their
growth or in throttling or killing
other measures inimical to their
selfish interests. Whether or not
laws were enacted by any of the
two last Congresses, to suppress
this evil, we know not, but GER
tain-it is that the national law
makers INDUCED in many wran-
giles and controversies over the
matter. Money, unfortunately, is
a very great power in politics, as
it is in every thing else, and all
along the National Republican
party has enjoyed this power al
most exclusively. The campaign
now being fought out between
Bryan and Taft is a unique one
in this respect. The money to
make Bryan's fight comes from
the rank and file of the people.
Newspapers all over the country
are raising campaign funds for
the purpose of furnishing the Ma
tional Committee with the sinews
of war. The daily press of New
Orleans is now engaged in this
laudable work and they have, COL
lectively, raised thousands of dol
lars. The Daily States alone-its
manager. Mr.. Robert Ewing, be-
ing the National Committeeman
for Louisiana is responsible for
the sum of $1,000 at this writing.
Governor Sanders had occasion
to deliver an address the other
day, in the course of which he
said that the first and
foremost t. contribute TO this fund
ought to be the Office FOLDERS of
this State, in accordance with
their means, meaning the impor-
lance Of their Office from a salary
None of these should
lag or prove recreant, as it is not
fair to expect contribution from
a man who holds no Office when
an ice.holder lodges the issue.
In this the Governor has frankly
and pointedly stated thing which
not a few private citizens have
undoubtedly been thinking about,
and now it is squarely up to every
to 'move"-con-
tribute a few simoleons towards I
the election of w. j. Bryan to the
next Presidency.

1t is said that Sir James Gram
very much interested the learned
members of the British Associa-
ton of Science with a description
of his machine for the renewal of
youth. Sir James calls his ma
chine the "neurostone." If he
and the British scientists will
come to America, they will find
that advertisements of similar
fakes have been extant for at least
thirty years.

The origin of the saying, "Thoss
who live in glass houses should
not throw stones" is as follows:
At the time of the union of Eng
land and Scotland London was
inundated with Scotchmen, and
the London roughs used to go
about at night breaking their
windows. Buckingham being
considered the chief instigator of
the mischief, a party of Scotch
men smashed the windows of the
Dukes mansion, known as the
Glass House. The Court favorite
to the King. who repli-
ed: "Steenie, Steenic, those who
live in glass houses should be
careful how they fling stones!"
