CHARLES W. MORSE.
How the Newspapers Take His Fifteen
 Year Sentence.
(Boston Transcrlpt.)

tBoston Transcript
 Morse's sentence affords renewed evl- dence that any violation of the national banking laws Is the height of folly aside from It's wlckedness, The federal statute clutches vigorously when once man comes within Its tolls, as many instances show--wnlch may readily be recalled by an observer in this or other communities John R. Walsh in Chica- gu although still out on technicalities. furnished conspicuous example. Morse himself has had ap opportunity to make as good defense as would seem ingly ever be possible, and while the laws delays may intervene to some ex- tent, his punishment Is likely to be sufficiently vigorous to impress the ex- pert manipulators In high finance with the dangers that attend their actions.

There is no reason to feel that the sentence was imposed otherwise than in a spirit of strict impartiallty. Other flnanciers may have sinned as griev- ously and perhaps on an even greater scale than Morse, but they were gen erally crafty enough to use state banks, with which they can frequently apply thlr schemes with less risk than in the case of national banks lt is well for the country that Uncle Sam has the reputation of getting after those who Indulge in dishonest trans actions in connection with national banks and postofiices. There has been so much thlevery in different ways In connection with financial operations In New York city. that Morse's experience, should his sentence stand in the high CT courts, will seem unfair as compared 10 the success others have had In evad- ing the just consequences of their acts. But that does not lessen Morse's guilt or afford an argument why he should go free.

TARIFF ASSURANCE.

The tariff question presents vital situations for congress to solve. Dur ing his campaign MT Taft made the promise that he would call together a special session If that body to consid- CT the tariff, if need he. Now We are promised from Washington a new tariff law in time to go into effect by July first next in any event. The com mittce on ways and means of the house, which will hold the various hearings on tariff schedules, is partic- uary active under the guidance of Chairman Payne. These hearings will extend from tomorrow until De-

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.

Chairman Hitchcock, of the republl- can national committee, has made the announcement that the promised list of contributors to the campaign funds of that committee will follow shortly in pamphlet form. The tabulated lists, which will entail considerable work to prepare, are now nearing com pletion, On them every contribution and contributor will be noted. They will be sent to the press of the country and to such others as may be inter- ested
 Quite aside from the advisability of making a partial announcement of the larger contributions before election, as was done this year by the democratic national committee. or of making complete accounting after election, as will be done this year by the republl- can national committee, is the fact that either committee has been willing to make any public statement of this character at all That in itself is a long step forward; the other matters are mere details each plan having it's distinct advantage.
 It has been made very evident this year from the very first that the two campaign committees were not receiv- ing the amount of money they wished for conducting their fights. The totals undoubtedly fell far short of the amount usually received before the in- stitution of the present systems of public accountings. At the same time 1t is probable that the amounts re- ceived for the same purpose in subse- uuent presidential campaigns will be even smaller than this year, If the publicity methods are continued (and there seems to be no reason to expect they win not be) once begun, neither party can well refuse to continue the publicity. Again it is not improbable that some congressional Legislation bearing immediately upon the matter and making strict accounting for campaign contributions compulsory in the future, will be introduced and passed before the year 1912 rolls around
 The general public is beginning to realize that the major part of the money spent in the political campaigns, as at present conducted, is wasted. The endless haranguing tours this year conducted by Candidates Taft and Bryan were not only a cruel waste of human energy but a lamentabe waste of money. If MT. Bryan spoke to twenty meetings a day, Mir, Taft felt himself obliged to do the same, where as they might both just as well have put their whole energy and intellect into one good speech or newspaper article day, which, in the end, would have given quite as much publicity to their ideas, won quite as many votes to their camp, and entailed considerably 1ear nynpnee
 This, it seems, will be at least one good result of the present campaign business If votes were only made or unmade by these multitudinous flights of oratory. there might be some excuse for the time, trouble and money con sumed; but it highly questionable whether, with the growth of the inde- pendent press of late years, the same, if not better results could not be at- tained with the voters, did the can- l didates make such statements to the press upon the various campaign is- sues as they might think were needed, l

marks Made by Longwor,h in His
Rock Island, III, Speech on the
Succession Of Presidency.

The Omaha Bee, published by Vic
tor R0srwuter, mrmDer of the Repub
lican national committee, and head of
the Republican campaign publicity bn'
reau, has made the blunder OF criti-
plank of the Republican platform, the
writer being under the impression that
he was really pouring hot SHOT Into
MIR. Bryan. The Democratic leader. in
recent speech. had quoted that part
of the Republican platform which Is
criticised.
The editorial In Mr.. Rosewater's pa
per goes ON the theory that tbs Ian
guage was Mr.. Bryans own, the
writer falling to notice that the Ian
guage was really part of the platform
ON which Mr.. Taft Is running.
The consequence of this Is that Mr..
Bryan and his friends have ON broad
grin and they think that the smiles
ut Fairyiew are likely to spread to all
Democrats In the country.
The words complained OF In the Bee
editorial were these:
In all tariff legislation the true
principle Is best maintained by the I'M
position of such duties as will equal

gether with reasonable profit to Amer
lean industries"
The Bee went ON to puncture this
language in the following style:
Nothing plettier In the catch-all
line has been offered In this cam
paign. The most hide-bound stand
patter In the country can accept that
as satisfactory and the rankest free
trader can find delight In 1t. The dec
laration means simply nothing. An at
tempt to leglslate along that line
woud simply open the way to inter

80 on through the list OF thousands OF
articles that are now on the tariff re-
vision, at Bryan's direction, would
serve only to halt Industrial and com
mercial progress and keep business un-
settled during his term of office"
The Omaha World-Herald shows
that the words complained OF are not
q part OF any speech of Mr.. Bryan,
but part Of the tarifr plank OF the
Republican platform.

Always INSCRIPTIONS In the mis-
representation of Mr.. Bryan's views
or attitude on any political question,
Mr. Taft's campaign managers have
made as much political capital as pos
sible out of the charge that Mr.. Bry-
an, while member Of congress, de-
clared that workingmen. are "a lot of
public begears."
The absurd charge that Mr.. Bryan
used such language is foinde' ON an
affidavit signed by James Campbell,
who says therein that Mr. Bryan
made such remark to him at hear
ing in committee on the Wilson tariff
bill in 1893.
No man who knows William j. Bry-
thing in public and something entire
ly opposite In private. His private
life has been noted for his sympathy
with and respect for the toiling
masses and his public record bears
ample proof of 1t.
In his celebrated speech On the
Wilson tariff bill in congress Jan. 13.
1894. which was acknowledged by the
leading newspapers of the country to
be the greatest speech of that session,
Mr.. Bryan expressed his regard for
the laboring men Of the country in
terms exactly opposite to the Ian
guage attributed to him in the Camp
beh affidavit. This speech was about
the time or soon after Mr.. Bryan Is
said to have called workingmen pub
lie beggars."
