doubtful
Yet to be chosen ..-..-.-----.....-----.. 3Sl
Neither side is discouraged-neither
side is resting on it's oars or anything
else. Each is up and doing, and every
county which has not selected delegates
will this week make its choice between
the ex-President and the machine When
the desire for success and also the desire
to Chamber into the more popular band
wagon are considered, it seems rather
more than probable that Mr.. Roosevelt
will secure a majority OF the delegates.
In that event he will become temporary
chairman. He will make the keynote
speech. Can he then as man and
standard bearer in November This
large-sized question will be answered on
Tuesday of next week at Saratoga
Springs by the convention itself.
Mr. Roosevelt puts forward at every
opportunity all the features of his new
nationalism." He continues to declare,
rs he did at osawatomie, that at is par
ticularly important that all moneys re-
ceived or expended for campaign pur-
poses should be publicly accounted for
not only after election. but before cleo
tion as well.'' In the teeth of this
declaration the New York World thrusts
at him this challenge which was first
published by it on October 1, 1904, when
Mr.. Roosevelt was a candidate for Pres
dent:
al How much has the beef trust con-
tributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
az How much has the paper trust con-
tributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
"s. How much has the coal trust con-
tTibuted to Mr.. Cortelyou?
~ How much has the sugar trust con-
tributed to Mr. CorteIyou?
''5- How much has the oil trust con-
tributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
&c. How much has the tobacco trust
contributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
-. How much has the steel trust con-
tributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
So How much has the insurance trust
contributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
'9. How much have the national banks
contributed to Mr.. Cortelyou?
40. How much have the six great rail-
road trusts contributed to Mr.. Cortel-
you?
The World renews these questions be-
cause they remained unanswered in 1904
They are still unanswered. The Cortel-
you fund of 1904 was admittedly an i'm
mense one, and it came almost wholly
from corporate sources. If the books of
Mr. Cortelyou, who then stood next to
the. throne, could be opened, the people
would be astounded and Mr.. Roose-
velt's new doctrines and new desires for
the publicity of campaign funds would
receive a setback that they would not
readily recover from.
In all seriousness, Mr.. Roosevelt should
eriher make plain the campaign contribu-
lions of 1904 or else he should from the
rourners' bench admit his misdoings
and claim credit as reformed man.

Cotton Terms

USED TO express the different characters

the cotton plant except that they see it

cyclopaedia to find that the term seed

The Rev. DR.. B. F. Rileys book, 1.-THE
White Mans Burden is in brisk demand
and is already classed among the most
useful and animating; contributions to
race-problem literature. DR.. Riley is a
citizen of Birmingham, and few minis
tiers or educators have come into closer
touch with the negro than he. No matter
what views one may entertain with re-
gard to the race question, those who have
the good of the south at heart will read
DR.. Riley's book with sympathetic inter-
est. AS the author says in his preface,
he has been actuated by "a genuine de-
sire to perform a humanitarian and pa
triotic duty
DR.. Riley Is southern born and Is the
son of an original slave holder. He has
been impelled to present the truth as he
sees 1t in unparnished form; but where
candor might seem bit harsh, that
candor is tempered with kindly Chris
tan spirit, which makes the discussion
pleasant and inviting from cover to
cover.

Oh. his heart was sick with longing
For the heights he'd never gain;
Wild the dreams of conquest thronging
In the chambers of his brain.
But so much opposed to working
Was this wight of whom l sing;
And so deep in love with Sinking,
Still postponing everything,
That he died a conscious gutter,
Overbrimmed with futile tears,
Realizing then how bitter
Is the price of wasted years.
