That the Mexican government Is
maintaining a secret service system in

is said to have been a member of the
company of rural police, stationed III

That he might have been poisoned has
been asserted By some.
For more than a week, the ruraie

arose, apparently in a delirium, AMI
started walking the streets. He fell
on San Antonio street, and died oe-

HOke Smith comes Back

Supported by a popular majority of
about 400 ex-Gov. HoKe Smiths friends
will control the convention that is to
meet in Atlanta on September l. This
convention will set the pace of the coming
Georgia campaign and two years of Geor-
ga legislation.
Mr.. Smith is quoted as having stated
that the new platform WILL reaffirm the
railroad supervision and regulation plank
OF two years ago. and 1t will go far be-
You'd the Macon platform of two years
ago in denouncing the use of corporate
ard capitalistic money in political cam
paigns.
This is really the great issue before
the country today. The use of money in
political campaigns is an attack upon the
power of the people. It renders bosses
necessary, while it taxes the corpora
tons by holding over them threats of
adverse legislation. The friends of HolKe
Smith cannot go too far IN denouncing
the use of money on a large scale in
political campaigns. If money furnished
by special interests rs to control the
two great parties In this country, then
indeed is representative or democratic
government in this. country failure. To
a certain extent IT has been a failure
ever since the days of civil war, and the
man who has come back in Georgia
should demand in the strongest possible
terms legislation that would assail the
vicious system.
If he succeeds in perfecting efficient
legislation in this matter many will be
glad he has come back including no
doubt the railroads that have in the past
been ''held up and required to hand
over large sums for campaign purposes.

Japan'S Corean Coup d. Flat

Corea is to cease to exist as kingdom
tomorrow. 1t will then become part and
parcel of Japan, and Emperor Mulsuhito
of japan will become its ruler. The Rus
so-Japanese war sealed the fate of Corea,
and annexation has long been a logical
consequence, or at any rate, inevitable.
Corea really was compelled to accept
suzerainty of some kind. At first it was
China, then Russia, and finally Japan
came in as the conqueror in the war of
1901. Japan has done more for Corea
than China and Russia both considered
ever did, and she will do much more in
the future. The course of reform and
progress will go on unchecked under the
sovereignty of Japan until Corea and the
Coreans are raised, If possible, to the
standard of the Land of the Rising Sun
The Corea imperial family are to be-
come princes Of japan, and the interests
of other countries in Corea will, no
doubt, be safeguarded. No organized op-
position on the part of the Coreans is
expected Their old national spirit has
long been impaired and when Japan sue
ceeds in bringing prosperity and even
handed Justice to the Coreans they will
accept annexation without a murmur.
The world has one less country and the
all plunderers.

mary issue is the chief incident of the
struggle TIVE is no room for com

mise. The situation does not admit of
one. It is to be a fight to the finish be-
tween the bosses and Mr.. Roosevelt with
the primary issue kept well to the front.
Already Orleans county in the Wadsworth
district has declared in favor of Roose-
welt. and his friends hope to upset 1.-The

The old guard never, however, surrend-
ers. neither does Theodore Roosevelt, and
a fierce fight is before the republicans of
the state.
Mr.. Roosevelt will be present in the con-
yention as delegate from his Long
Island county, and he expects to have
majority of the convention behind him.
But will he be forced to accept a nomina-
tion for governor? Could he In that case
carry New York in November? Where
would a democratic victory leave Mr..
Roosevelt even if he should succeed at
Saratoga Springs in robbing the old guard
of its control of the g. o. p?
These are interesting questions to the
entire country as we'll as to New York
Already the vice president shows signs
of being tired of politics. He is no doubt
marked to follow in the footsteps of
Joseph G. Cannon. But where Theodore
Roosevelt would stand, in case the DEM

Joe SlhleY'S Expense Account

After 20 years of service in one party
ty-eighth Pennsylvania district entered
the republican primary, winning from it
a congressional nomination His sworn
statement, required by Pennsylvania
law, shows that he expended in the cam
paign $4,000 or about "a per capita for
every voter in the district He has now
declined on the score of il-healtb the
nomination thus secured, and he has also
been arrested and full judicial inquiry
of his campaign expenditures is to follow
Perhaps the most remarkable feature of
this piece of politics consists In the fact
that Pennsylvania, which has been con-
sidered rotten and content, is willing to
probe the Sibley matter until the entire
matter stands exposed. Many believe the
oil millionaire expended much more than
s42, 500. If the case opens up the subject
of political expenditures much good will
be accomplished, both In and out of Penn
sylvania. The buying of a nomination
through the political machine has long
been a custom in that state and 1t Is
certainly hopeful sign when a court at
tempts to punish any one for attempt
ing to debauch voters. 1t is to be hoped
the inquiry will go on in that state until
the political methods Of that state are
for once fully exposed.

Under the seat was a package wrapped
up in a badly frayed tow sack.

and matches were in demand. Mr.. Jones

seat directly in front OF him a light and
then carelessly dropped the fire on the

rising a foot high, ana panic seemed
imminent. Without a moments hesita-

and smothered out the flames.
