The Boss Of the Bosses.

That was plain language that Fran
els ]. Heney used when he told The
City Club of Philadelphia that Edward
He Hartman, through his control of
the Southern Pacific Railroad, was re-
sponsible for the graft and corruption
found in San Francisco. As Mr.. Heney
bluntly expressed it, 1.-The corruption
of city life in San Francisco was not
found IN the deals made by Reuf. but
was due to the fact that Hartman
wanted to use certain men. Our real
boss sits in New York City and reach
es across the country in working out
his schemes.
1t is the old story, hack of all the
political corruption. There is not a dis
honest political boss in the United
States who could hold his power for a
year if some powerful corporation was
not behind him and using its resources
to sustain him. The boss Of the bosses
is always the man who sits in New
York City" or elsewhere with millions
of organized capital behind him and
REACHES across the country in work
ing out his schemes. -

Making Good.

Pierce'S medicines well eXemplify this.
and their friends, after more than two
decades of popularity, are numbered by
the hundreds of thousands. They have
"made good and they have not made
drunkardS.
A good, honest, square deal medicine of
known composition is DIR. Pierce'S Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an i'm
menSe sale, while most of the prepara-
tiOns that have come into prominence in
the earlier period of it's popularity have
- gone by the board and are never more
heard of. There must be some reason for
this longtime popularity and that is to
be found in its superior merits. When
once given fair trial for weak stomach.
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-
rlOr curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence it has survived and grown in pop
ular favor, while scores of less meritOrious
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For torpid liver with its attendant
indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per-
hapS dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated
tongue, with bitter taste. loss Of appetite.
with distress after eating, nervousness
and debility, nothing is so good as DR..
Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery. It's
an honest, square-deal medicine with all
its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper
no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug.

the dealer may possibly make little big

The Growing Achievement.

Mr.. Roosevelt's Steel Trust message
reveals the browning achievement of
personal government, says the New
York World.
The President, who was once an elo-
quent advocate of publicity in the in
terest of the public, not only refuses
to premit the Attorney General to tell
the United States Senate why he fail
ed to bring action under the Anti Trust
law against the United States Steel
Corporation on account of its acquisi-
ton of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company, its principal competitor, but
denies the right of Congress to cali for
such information
Mr.. Bonaparte's reaosns, however,
are not far to seek. He could not pro-
coed against the Steel Trust because
Mr.. Roosevelt personally licensed the
transaction. Mr.. Roosevelt admits that
he was personally cognizant of and re-
sponsible for its every detail" and
that he authorized the purchase be-
cause the representatives of the.sSteel
Trust desired to prevent panic. -
On such statement Of facts what
is the use of Federal laws? If the
President of the United States can IL
cense an obstensible violation of the
Sherman act on the pretense of pre-
venting "a panic" which had already
taken place and for which he was
largely responsible, we see no reason
why he should not suspend any other
Federal statutes whenever it suited his
within or desire or convenience or 20.
liuical plans. He might even author
ize piracy ont he high seas if it were
represented to him that a little judi
cous buccaneering would "prevent a
panic" or ''save the situation.
The incident is further illustration
of the manner in which Mr.. Roosevelt
substitutes personal government for
government by law under the Consti-
tuition. Corporations that please him
have protection and immunity. Only
corporations that displease him are
prosecuted. Mr.. Roosevelts' methods
differ IN No important respect from
those of an Oriental sultan who re-
wards or Furnishes his courtlers accord
ing to his caprice. There has been
nothing else like it known to Ameri-
can Institutions.

Some day, perhaps, the people of the

Or. G. K. VandersIice, the Coroner,
After Investigating the Find. How
ever, Reached the Conclusion That
the Owner of the Len Was Drowned
in Hamoton Reads.

The finding of the leg CT man in
an old ruhb'r boot at the Nhi'"ha!

was the cause of considerable excite
ncnt among the veterans and s.artch

had been committed and the body OF
the dead man had been disnicmbGX"d
ard thrown into Hampton Roads.
One OF the inmaeS OF tn" II me.

found the bot. containing the leg OF
man from the thigh to the foot,
early yesterday morning. The flesh
on the bone from the thigh % about
the knee, had been devou"ed by sea

The cid soldier was startled by his
discovery and lest little time in re-
porting the find to DR.. Georg" X.

hastily went TO the spot expecting
to find evidence Of brutal murder

nave been drowned and was probably
weighted down SO as TO prevent the
body coming TO tn" surface. IL is
the further Cyini@n OF the coroner.
that the body probably became en-
tangled in some object and thu, cans
cd the remains 20 become disiOiatel.
The fact that the bone in the leg is
not injured. wiped Ou: any suspicion
of foul play on the part of the coro-
ner, who inclines to the opinion that
the missing leg belongs TO SINE UNI
fortunate boatman, who was drowned
Owing to the decomposed condition
OF "he flesh left i'm the boot and tie
fact that very little remained on the
bone Dr. Vanderslice is unable t. say
whether the grewsomc find is the leg

marks on the boot, show that che rub

Just when the men of the 142-pound
division are beginning to monopolize
the center Of the stage along comes the
announcement that Jimmy Gardner, the
Lowell scrapper and claimant of the

Jimmy has been waiting for this
chance The lazy young man from
New England has tired at last of In
activity and noticing that the welters
are pretty thick around here at the
present time he has made up his mind
to come and give all of them-a crack
at his title.
He says he would especially like to
get a third meeting with Jimmy Clab-
by, the Milwaukee man who lost a
shade decision to Jimmy at New Or
leans. and followed that performance
up by holding Jamsey to a smashing
good draw.
Hence Clabby will not view the sit
uation with any great feeling of alarm
This young fellow is the quintessence

before he outgrows the classic Is
getting heavier right along-he will be
at the top of the heap, and that not
even Gardner will be able to stop him

In the meantime Clabby has a couple
| of arguments on his hands and If hi
gets through with them unscathed HI
will be well prepared for the coming
of the boss of the job-for it looks a.

e tri9e better than any Of the other
