THE HASKELL EXPOSE.

Democratic newspapers that play

nection with the Standard Oh com
pany evidently did not consider that
Hearst caught in his dragnet a man
of their own party, Charles ". Has
kell, who occupies the important po-
sition Of Treasurer of the Democratic
National Campaign committee.
That the exposure of Foraker
granting that he did corruptly receive
money from the oil company. should
have any bearing on the presidential
campaign was clearly overdrawD.
Taft split with Foraker long ago
and the Ohio senator's conspiracy to
embarrass President Roosevelt's ad-
ministration IS too we'll known for
comment.
But with Mr.. Haskell II is different.
He is the Democratic campaign treas,
urer. II he Is as close to the Stand

is certainly in a position to mulct

FORWARD OR BACKWARD.

The real question involved in the
political campaign today is essen
TALLY whether the people desire a
party in power which does things to
enhance the credit OF the nation and
develop its economic resources. or
whether it desires a party which only
harps and cavils at things done, says
the Louisville Herald. An opposition
party has its uses, and in many cases
1t is fortunate that there should be
a seesaw In possession OF power. The
past twelve years. however. have
been years OF remarkable events in
this country. They have opened the
door to an expansion Of influence
and power abroad such as has not
come to the United States for several
generations. At home also they have
witnessed the creation and carrying
out Of a great body of constructive
policies by President Roosevelt, which
Mr.. Taft is pledged to continue.
To dismiss the Republican party
authority would be to turn the hand
backward upon the clock OF national
progress. The election Of Mr. Bryan.

A change in the national admins
tration might be a matter of indiffer-
ence on some grounds, but for two
important "ifs." The first of these
is that the Republican party during
the past twelve years had merely
marked time without accomplishing
or inaugurating any important re-
forms: but the work which President
Roosevelt has done should be car
ried on by men who are now in the
harness and who have been partners
in framing his policies. The second
IF is the important one. If Mr.

that much Of this legislation is dis
eretionary No law can direct the
president or secretary of the treas
ury at just what moment they should
intervene to avoid a panic or to save
the nation from some great financial
disaster. No law can compel Mr..
Bryan to issue circulation under the
recent emergency currency law If he
thinks 1t unwise. Indeed. in a thou
sand emergencies liable to confront
the nation, not only financial, but
political and international, it is high |
ly important that a man trained by
public service and with a mind tenn
pered by knowledge and respect for
law should sit in the executive chair
