rooms about campaign orator who
was delivering speeches In Minnesota.
He marveled at the hold Nelson had on
the people OF the state. One day he
was discussing the subject with a Nor

the folks In Washington who were gen
orally supposed to have something to
do with shaping the destiny of the
nation were Il lot of amateurs when
compared with Nelson. He therefore
decided to put the matter to supreme
test.

Men Who Hand Out Favors Are Apt

ward Comes at the Expense of the
insignificant Outsiders.
Senator Aldrich has made sort of
weak denial of the serious charge made
against him by Senator Bristow-viz.
that he raised the duty Oh rubber to
enrich himself. 1t may be as Wen
here to print what Senator Bristow
actually said in his speech at Winfield.
Kan. few weeks ago. The New
York World gives 1t as follows:
THAT under the Dingley law there
was 30 per cent duty on manu-
features of rubber and crude rubber
was free; that the present tariff law
passed the house without any change
in the duty on either crude or manu-
featured rubber: that MIR. AldrlchS
senate committee increased the duty
on manufactured rubber froll 30 to 81
per cent: that during the session or I'M
mediately after adjournment he. in
connection with the Guggenheius and
Ryan, organized IL rubber trust. known
as the InterContinental Rubber com
pany. with $4O.O0O.OOO capital stock:
that Mr. Aldrich's son became vice
president and general manager OF the
company; that Immediately there were
large advances in the price of rubber
and that during the first three months
of the existence Of this trust 1t paW
dividends aggregating 1872 per cent on
the preferred stock.
Whether Mr.. Aldrich's explanation be
accepted or Hot is. after all. OF second
AIRY Importance. a Legislative assembly
that deems it part of its duty to confer
valuable privileges on certain wealthy
interests must have many Aldrichcs in
it's ranks, even if Mr.. Aldrich did villa,
he is alleged to have done. One good
turn deserves another. and when MIR.
Aldrch OF MIR. DalZell does good turn
to the rubber interest or the WOODEN
interest, even if it be at the expense
of insignificant outsiders like our
selves. is their fidelity to go unreward-
ed? Not while human nature Is what
we know 1t to be. No legislator that
has valuable privileges to give away
need be poor man. whether or not
he avows himself as a stakeholder in
the business that he favors. And we
do know that men who distinguish
themselves by legislative services to
the "interests" are never short of mon

is that there must he M invisible

by the foreign Office declaring that
Germany intends TO do as she pleases
In South and Central American af-

This belligerent message was given
to United Press representative after

ciliate the feelings of Americans re-
garding the kaiser's attitude toward
President Madriz, of Nicaragua
No explanation Is given as TO the
wide difference of opinion expressed
between the first and second mes
sages.
The second message said:
I Germany refuses to recognize any
right on the part of the United States
TO supervise her diplomatic relations
with other countries. Central an,
South American countries IN genera
and Nicaragua in particular. Ger
many's recognition OF President Ma
