Nathan Straus' Charge.

Except that he is brother of Oscar
Etraus, Secretary Of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor, Nathan Straus,
the New York merchant, would attract
no attention in this campaign. But it Is
unusual to see two brothers otherwise
closely allied oppose each other vigor-
ously in politics. and hence what Nathan
Stratus says against his brothers chief
and party is widely circulated. He al
most seems to speak with added empha-
sis because of a belief that to make his
words effective he must go the limit.
This is given as Mr. Straus' latest de-
lfverance:
God forbid that / should say anything
against President Roosevelt, but the
American people ought to be allowed to
select their own President. Four years
ago i advised Parker to tell of the cor
ruption fund in the republican party. He
waited until the last week, and then
President Roosevelt said it was a lie.
Il don't believe President Roosevelt
knew he was lying, but he lied all the
same. When I spoke the other day about
Wall street contributions they raised a
great rumpus. / am ready to prove now
that they have not only levied a tax of
$500, but they have sliding scale which
runs up to $4,000.
Il declare here and now that the cor
ruption fund to be used this year in New
York Is as large as IL was four years ago
They won't make spublic beforehand the
contributions because they say the
money Is for legitimate purposes. But
they know they are raising the fund for
bribery. They have the largest corrup-
ton fund this year that they ever had
and I can prove IL.
Whatever facts Mr.. Straus may possess
to substantiate his charge should be
published at once. There Is nothing to
restrain him. but everything to spur
| him. Let Jus all know what .he thinks
! he knows. The presidency is not up a,
suction. and il any managing politicians

are operating on lines which assume that
it is, they have only to be exposed to be
rendered powerless. Talk is cheap. The
country wants the facts.
1t is charged in substance, not only. by
Mr.. Straus but by others, that the trusts
and the corporations are subscribing to
the Taft campaign fund in the hope. and
probably with an understanding, Of IA
vors to come. This will appear. we are
told, after the election. too late for the
indignation of the people to take effect
i've FORM If they could only be advised
now Of the true situation. by the publ
cation of Treasurer Sheldon's receipts,
the program would be defeated. The
voters would rebuke the whole thing at
the polls.
1t is only necessary to say that if Mr..
Sheldon's report shall show what Mr..
Bryan's friends are now charging, the
republican triumph so secured will turn
to ashes on the partys lips. The Taft
administration will take Office hopelessly
discredited. 1t will not matter that the
facts appear after the election so far as
the future of the party is concerned. If
tagged in that fashion it will have no
future A democratic House in 1910 will
appear on the horizon and that by good
management should usher in a demo-
cratic President in. March. 1913
But Mr.. Straus and his friends expect
no such revelations. They are laying
the foundations of an attack on the Shell
don report when it does come. not for
what, they are now charging it will con-
TAIN but for the absence of such incrim-
mating disclosures. Having observed the
incredulity which has met the Ridder re-
port, they are playing to bring about a
similar fate for the report of the other
side.
1t is just as well to consider that any
bargains now being made-the talk about
them is campaign claptrap-must be sub
ject to Judge Taft's action if he enters
the White House. He is not for sale, as
even his opponents must cencede. All
the money in the world would not bring
him. in office or out, to abet corruption
in any form. Men with money to buy
favors would not invest in William H.
Taft.

Rockefeller

Here and there the suspicion may arise
that Mr. Rockefeller's announcement at
this time of support of Judge Taft may
be loaded; that the intention is to bene-
fit Mr.. Bryan. But let us give the great
monopolist, as we are adjured to do his
famous prototype, his due. He says the
proposition before the people is, in its
last analysis, business one and he
wants to see business revive for every
body. Hence he picks the candidate who
appears the best qualified by experience
to deal with the country's business. The
reasoning is good, and Mr.. Rockefeller
speaks as modestIy as though he stood on
a pedestal of thirty cents. instead of on
one of a hundred or SO million dollars.

Gov. Hughes.

From the New York Times, 100"
I If not the most conspicuous figure. Gov
Hughes is at leastsone of the most con-
spicu0us figures in the country today. HE
shares that distinction with President
Roosevelt, Mr.. Taft and Mr. Bryan and
stands upon plane with them. His sin
certify his Observation-Disclosures, and his
courage have won the admiration of his
countrymen in other states remote from
New York. His acts and his words are in
the minds of the people, they watch with
deep interest the progress of his cam
paign, and democrats and republicans
alike express in all sincerity the hope
that he will be elected More than for
any other one thing. probably, the people
like him for his defiance of the bosses.

Young Hoodlums.
rom the Lowell Courier Citizen

The Worcester Gazette declares that
there is an unwhipped gang of youngsters
in that city, found in nearly every quar-
ter. and so slightly restrained by the po-
lice that they are rapidly being nodded
into the stuff from which roaring mobs
are made. 1t is to be feared that Worces-
ter is not alone in the possession of such
gang. Probably a duplicate could be
found in any city of the commonwealth,
and no town of any size is free from a
similar If smaller group of youthful ais
turbers. 1t is generally agreed that
the responsibility for the existence of such
gangs rests, on the mollycoddling spirit
of the time, which is reflected in some OF
the fool legislation relative to juvenile
offenders now on the statute book

Too Much Music.

Il like churches to provide fine mu-
sic at all times,' said a prominent
clergyman. but there are cases on
record where the music has been given
too prominent place.
".An eloquent brother divine from
South Carolina once told me that going
to preach at strange church he was
taken aside Ivy deacon, who whis-
pered:
beg pardon. sir. but l must ask
you not to preach longer than ten or
twelve minutes. It's the music that
the people come here for
THAT was wrong. But worse still
was the case of supply preacher in a
church famous for its anthems and
choruses. The stranger, not noticing
the scraping and tuning Of fddles,
rose and began to preach, when the
choir leader jumped up and shouted
angrily to him from the choir loft at
the other end of the church:
"'Sit down, man! When it's your
turn We'll tell you.'''
