oorats, but they had another OBJ
ject in view, namely: They be.
lieved in the same principle as
that of their choice candidate on
this ticket.
The Republican who cast his
vote for Cowherd, Ball or Wal.
lace did it upon principle, and
not because he had any special
admiration or love for the in
dividual candidate.
Now it is self-evident that the
Republicans, like the Demo.
Gratis, were divided upon their
cannidates. Many Republicans,
like Dem ocrats, lost their votes,
but they stood up for what each
and every one believed to be
right.
Now does this result change
their view of what is right or
wrong? If Republican Cor
Democrat either) ''lost out" on
the principles he believes to be
right at the primary, would he
become 'unprincipled" if he
held to the same view at the gen.
eral election, and voted then on
principle as before?
Could a Republican or Demo.

In fact, could any intelligent

ssMY DEAR HARTMAN"

Whether the exigencies of the
presidential campaign will require
President Roosevelt or Mr.. Taft
to call on MIR. Hartman for finan-
cial aid is not yet known. 1t is
certain, however, that "My dear
Hartman" was never more able
to furnish the Doodle than now.
He is the undisputed railroad
king. He controls 45, 151 miles
of the railroads OF the country
and is just about to gobble the
eastern Gould roads which will
give the railroads he controls
another entry to Pittsburg and
Baltimore, and he has his hands
on others. The capital stocks oi
| the railroads he now dominates
amount to the enormous SUN oi
ST, ,627, $4,000 with an issue
of ST, ,935, ,910.594 in bonds. Il
follows that all competition be-
tween these Hartman railroads
is oblite-ated and the people whc
reside on them and the merchants
who do business over them viii
have to pay call the traffic viii
bear.'
| Is it good public policy to al
low this railroad magnate t.
combine competing railroads a

Men are sent to congress and
to the several Legislatures of our
land, not 80 much to invent or

questions or settle matters that

ents. After all this is Cor should

This being true, it is but tnatur.
al to ask: 'Have we fulfilled
our high calling by simply voting
on election day, because it's the
fashion and nothing more?"
Does it show great intelligence
on the part of any voter, ire.
spective of the party of which he
is an adherent, to ''vote a ticket
straight" if he lie convinced that
there is one, or may be two, on
the ticket who would net carry
out his wichss Il they were elect.

hood to vote for men by and
through whom we expect private
gain? For example: To vote
for men who may pay the voter,
either in money or ohattels, or in
turn to help the voter later to
office.
Does it cast any reflections
(and what are they) on any voter
to sacrifice his party ticket fol
the sake of his principle? To ex.
plain: The majority of votes
csst in the last primary election,
no doubt. were on principle and
not 80 much for the individual
candidate. Men who voted fol-
Cowherd, Ball or Wallace voted
for what these men stood for OF

platforms.
What was true of those gentle.

man, VINO lS an ara enC RepuO'

ardor of Mr.. Hartman for Re.
publican success has been dis.
closed by letters that have been
published and the fact that al
the request of President Roose.
welt Mr.. Hartman raised $3.50, 900
in the last days of the campaign
of 1904. That money MIR. Har.
riman declared was used to buy
the voters Of the state of New
York, and did have, he said, the
effect of inducing $4,000 of them
to vote the Republican ticket and
save the G. O. P. from defeat.
That transaction was q great
blot on the reputation of Presi'
ident Roosevelt, almost as much
as the collection for Republican
campaign purposes of the trust
funds of the life insurance com.
panies was, that should have
been sacred to the widows and
orphans, for Mr.. Roosevelt was
the direct beneficiary Of the use
of this political corruption.
If President Roosevelt was
really intent that such "male.
factors of great wealth" as Mr..
Hartman should be controlled
or limited in plundering the peo.
pie through excessive rates and
manipulation of the enormous
surplus funds of the corporations
he controls, would he have been
in political partnership with Mr..
Hartman? If Mr.. Roosevelt was
really sincere in ersdic ating the
influence of such malefactors Of
great wealth as Mr.. Hartman in
the Republican party, would he
not be urging the proper federal
officials to prevent the furthe,
combination of railroads under
the domin alton of one man?
When Mr.. Hartman was 8
delegate to the Republican ma
tional convention in 1904 he was
no better than he is o.day, but
the Republican party has allow
ed him to become much more
powerful. Voters who believt
that corporations should be con
trolled can hardly expect reason

a Little Gard Trick.

A Russian priest was so devoted IA
the amusement Of card playing that
he played up to the last moment be
fore commencing the church services
On one occasion. having particularly
good hand dealt him. he thrust the
cards into his pocket, intending TO re-
turn and finish the game after the
service. Unluckily the cards fell 0u'
on the church floor. TO the extreme
scandal OF the congregation. The wilt
ty priest. however, was fully equal ia
the occasion. At the conclusion OF the
service he beckOned up one or the
choristers and asked him the names OF
several Of the cards, which the boy
knew correctly. He then suddenly
asked the lad the name OF the next
saints day, which the child could moi
tell.
See cried the priest, turning to
the congregation. You teach yOuI
children the names of every card In
the pack and leave them ignorant OF
their religion. Let this he the last
time | am compelled TO bring playing
cards into the church to shame yon.
And picking up his hand he made an
honorable retreat.-LOndOn Answers.
