The Massachusetts, Vote.

The fact is that the Republicans lost
a larger percentage than usual of
their normal vote, and the Democrats
not only held substantially the
strength which they had last year.
but increased it. In the towns the
Republicans lost exactly one-half of
the majority they had in them last
year and came down to the cities with
only $4,000 majority, which was re-
duced to 1000 by the Democratic vote
of Boston. After that the vote in the
other cities determined the final re.
suit. There cannot be too much praise
of the efficient name in which the
Democratic campaign was managed.
All along the line the Democrats sup
ported their party ticket with enthu-
siasm and were justified in believing
up to the last moment of the cam
paign that they were winners. AS it
was they came so near victory that
the Republican success is not much
to boast of in view of the large Re-
publican reserve vote there is in this
state.-Boston Globe, Dem.

Is Taft a Standpatter?

One cannot help detecting, in the
wake of President Taft's nationwide
tour. an undercurrent of popular dis.
trust in his progressive" policies.
President Taft is well versed in the
art OF making platitudes seem like the
~utterances of a vigorous reformer.

SECRET WORKERS
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates.

Coffee is such a secret worker that
it is not suspected as the cause of sick
ness or disease, but there is a very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter-
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. 1t seems that he had been
using it for some time and was an
invalid.
The physician in charge ~shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm
at the root of the tree and ordered
it discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in its place.
The wife says: I'VE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad
~ paid a hundred times the amount
of the Doctors charge when we found
how wise his judgment was.
The use of Postum instead of cof-
fee was begun about a year ago, and
1t has made my husband a strong. we'll

In that time and his stomach and heart
troubles have all disappeared.

a young gentleman of our ac-

his mother for a train al a railway

his mother a great many questions

LIGHT ON SCANDAL
PUBLICITY IN SUGAR TRUST
FRAUDS DEMANDED.
Seeming Alliance Between That Cor.
poration and the Government 10
a Distinct Menace to Repub-
lican Institutions.

The total stealings of the whisk,
ring under Grants administration
were estimated at SO, 8 900. TIL,
sugar trust has already refunded
$4,000, 900 and its total stealings from
the government have been estimated
as high as $50, 900, 900.
The whisky frauds extended over 8
period OF six years. The sugar fraud.
extended over a period of nearly q
years.
The whisky ring was protected by
officials of the United States govern
ment. The sugar trust was likewise
protected.
Part of the whisky ring stealings
went into a Republican campaign
fund and some of the money was used
to organize a movement to nominate
Grant for a third term. How much
the sugar trust contributed to cam
paign funds in 1892, 1896, 1900 and
1904 only a congressional investiga.
ton a disclose.
The whisky ring frauds were less
extensive and much cruder than the
sugar trust frauds. The system was
not well organized and its most DOW
erful political ally was only a private
secretary to the president. Bristow
was able to smash the ring in spite of
Grants hostility to the prosecution of
Babcock. The sugar trust built up it's
alliances through several administra-
tons. 1t had dealt with the organiza.
tons of both parties. 1t not only stole
public revenue through a long period
of years, but it violated the antitrust
law and the interstate commerce law
as well. Not n of its officers or d.
rectors has yet been brought to trial.
Its ~rebating crimes were exposed not
by the government but by a private
citizen. It's violation of the antitrust
law was established not in a govern
ment prosecution but in a private
suit. Its weighing frauds were set
tied originally by the payment of
$4,000, 900, and although the trusts at
Lorneys admitted that the government
could have collected additional pen
'AtiNo VI @5,uuU ,UUU, no SuCn CemdnQ
made. The trust was even al
owed to dictate the tariff schedules
under which it robbed the federal
treasury of public revenue.
The lo%ng-continued alliance between
he sugar trust and government is one
of the most scandalous chapters in
he history of the United States. It
involves a far greater n to the
integrity of republican institutions
han did the whisky ring frauds and
quite as much perhaps as the credit
nobilier scandal. Criminal prosecu-
ion of certain specific offenses not
covered by the statute of limitations
S no longer sufficient. There must be
complete publicity Of the trusts re-
atoms to government, a complete ex-
oosure of the methods by which it OBJ
aimed protection and immunity for so
many years.
