American Criticism.

Charles Miner Thompson, in the August
 Atlantic
 Intellectual candor does not mark Amer ican criticism. The fault is primarily the publishers. It lies in the fundamental mistake that he makes in the matter of publicity. Each publisher, that Is. treats each new book as If 1t were the only one that he had ever published were pub fishing, or ever should publish. He gives all his efforts to seeing that it is praised. He repeats these exertions with some suc- cess for each book that he prints. Meanwhile every other publisher is do- ing as much for every new book of his own. The natural result follows-a mo- notony of praise which permits no books to stand out, and which, however plaus- ible in the particular instance, in the mass incredible.
 But how is 1t that the publishers fiat produces praise? The answer is i'm plicit in the fact that criticism Is sup

BEATING A SHARK.

A Rochester man, interested i'll our
suggestion that the salary-loan sharks
who fatten on the wages of badly paid
clerks could not exist without the as
sistance of the newspapers which
print their advertisements, sends us
two items from Rochester paper.
One is the fve-line announcement Of
d. II. Tolman, Offices in sixty-two
principal Cities" that he loans money
to salaried people without security.
The other clipping is the report Of
suit brought against Tolman by Paul
Laurent to recover $50, the amount
paid in excess of the principal and the
legal rate of interest of five successive
loans of $27 each, within year. The
jury in the Municipal Court found in
Laurent's favor. 1t is a case which
should have wide publicity, but in his
letter our Rochester correspondent
makes this comment: For my part,
| can not understand why the bust
ness office censor Of the paper did
not blue pencil this news item" Such
news usually is suppressed To the
Democrat and Chronicle" therefore,
are due all the more thanks for being

LEGISLATION INEFFECTIVE.

The Women's Educational and In
dustrial Union of Boston backed
bill in the Massachusetts Legislature
last year requiring full records to be
made of salary loans, and adequate
inspection OF the business maintained.
A mass of striking evidence was COL
lected and presented. And then:
THE legislation asked for was en-
acted last year, except that (and here
one may read how enthusiastic the
Massachusetts makers must have
been) the recording clause in the bill
(the clause that was most vitaD was
lost, and the penalty omitted. This
much of victory was won by one
vote after a fight in the Legislature
lasting over months. However, at al
most the same time the Governor
signed the bill, the Boston Police
Commission abolished the office of
Loan Inspector, making policemen
on the beat responsible for the ad-
justmenr of complaints. Since that
time there has been, practically, no
attempt at inspection, and the law has
not materially affected the situation
in Boston"
When it comes to finding ways to
beat the law, these usurers can give
the execrated corporation attorney
cards and spades, and beat him out
a mile" But if such newspapers as
the Boston post" would refuse to
take their advertising, they would at
once and very disastrously feel the
pinch

If l am elected President / shall
urge upon Congress, with every hcps
Of success, that a law be passed re-
curing a filing in a Federal Office of a
statement of the contributions received
by committees and candidates in cleo
tons for members of Congress-, and in
such other elections as are constitu-
tionally within the control of Congress.
Meantime the Republican party, by the
selection of a New York TREASURER, has
subjected all its receipts and expcndi-
lures 40 the compulsory obligation of
such n law.
The Democratic platform demands
two constitutional amendments, one
providing for a income tax, and the
other for the election of Senators by
the people. In my judgment. an amend
ment to the Constitution for an income
tax is not necessary.
With respect to the election of Sena-
tors by the people, personally l am in
clined to favor 1t, but 1t is hardly a
party question.
Our opponents denounce the Repub-
lican party for increasing the number
of Offices 5000, at a cost of sixteen
millions of dollars. during the last year.
Such denunciation is characteristic of
the Democratic platform. AS a
matter of fact, the net number of Of
fees increased was just about half the
number stated; The increase was due
chiefly to the enlargement of the navy,
the construction of the Panama canal,
the extension of the rural free delivery,
and to the new Offices necessary in the
enforcement of the pure food, meat in
spection, railroad rate regulation, arid
land reclamation, forest preservation
and other measures which Congress
passed with almost unanimous popular
approval. The Democratic platform
so far from attacking n of this legis-
lation specifically approves. much, and
condemns none of it, and it Is, of course
1isingenuous to claim credit for APP
Proving legislation and yet to denounce
the expenditures necessary to give ii
effect.
I have pointed out that the attitude of
the Republican party with reference To
evils which have crept in, due to the
enormou material expansion of this
country, is to continue the Roosevelt
policies of progress and regulation,
while the attitude of the Democratic
party under its present leadership is
the change for the sake of change to
the point OF irresponsible destruction,
and that there is no hope whatever of
a restoration of prosperity in returning
1t to power. As said in our platform,
we Republicans go before the country
asking the support. not only of those
who have acted with us heretofore, but
of all our fellow-citizens who. regard
less of past political differences, unite In
the desire to maintain the policies, per-
petuate the blessings and make secure
the achievements of a greater America.

Recent Political Campaign in
Iowa Responsible For Charges
Against Editor
WOMAN is THE PLAINTIFF
Sues LeMars Globe-Post for $4,000
for Connecting Name With Alleged
Questionable Episode - Bitterness
Between Editors Brings Out Libeous
Article.
Special to Times-Republican.

LeMars, June 11.-An echo Of the
Plymouth county and an indication of
the heated sentiment in that locality is
found in a libel suit for $4,000 COM
menced yesterday evening against A.
P. Cramer, editor of the LeMars
Globe Post, by Mrs George Cain. of
Akron. In an editorial published in the
Globe Post on the evening of Satur-
day. May 16, charges were made
against J. F. Kennedy, of Akron, which
reflected upon the character Of Mrs.
Cain.
During the time the campaign was
the hottest in Plymouth county the
GlobePost as a democratic organ took
exceptions to the Cummins sentiment
of the Sentinel of that city. 1t appears
from the editorial that the Sentinel had
said something about J. c. Cottrell,
democratic representative from Ply
mouth county and his affinity. The
Globe-Post expressed itself as feeling
that the assault on Cottrel was occa-
stoned by reason of his being a demo-
crat and the editor of the Globe Post
claimed that there were just as bad
characters in The republican party as in
the democratic.
In support of this contention he edi-
torially said that j. F.. Kennedy. of
Akron, who about three years ago was
republican candidate for the state
legislature. and who during the recent
campaign was one of the staunch sup
porters of Governor Cummins, had
been found in the home of George Cain,
marshal of the town Of Akron, and that
the appearance of Kennedy. Mrs. Cain
and the surroundings indicated what
their relations had been. Further the
article alleged that Cain came to the
house, drew a gun and would have shot
Kennedy had not Mrs. Cain interfered
These charges made by the Globe
Post have been denied by every one Of
character of Kennedy, and 1t added
that short time after the affair is al
legged to have occurred Kennedy be-
came a candidate and was praised by
the Sentinel.
The charges made by the Globe
Post have been denied by every on of
these alleged to have been implicated.
Mr.. Kennedy asserts that the charges
were false and Mr.. and Mrs. Cain
claim there was no truth in them.
Mrs. Cain is a comedy woman. aged
about so years. She is one OF the
prominent women of Akron and is
highly respected in that town. j. F.
Kennedy was for a number of years
one of the leading merchants of the
town, retiring from active business a
short time ago. He is over go years
old and has been quite prominent in
politics Of Plymouth coun-
ty,
