The late Leopold Morse represented
for some years one of the Boston,
Mass. districts in the lower house Of
Congress. He was a colleague there of
Ex-Governor John d. Long. who after
ward became Secretary Of the Navy in
McKinleyis cabinet, and of Ambrose
A. Ranney, one Of the ablest lawyers
who ever represented Massachusetts
IN the House of Representatives Mr..
Morse was a business man He was
the proprietor of a very large ready
made clothing store, said to be the
largest in New England. He was
short, thick-set man, with a sandy
goatee, curly brown hair, florid COM
plexion and large blue eyes. He made
no attempt TO conceal his qualification
over the fact that Boston should have
sent him, a retail merchant to Con-
gress with such distinguished men as
John ID. Long and Ambrose A. Ran
ney
Mr.. Morse had not been a member Of
the lower House a month before Rep
resentative William Mckinley of Ohio
made friendly overtures for something
more than a formal acquaintance A
quaint personality, very skillful man
ner of adapting the business principles
which apply well to retail trade to all
the great financial operations of the
Government, and a charming openness
and kindliness of maner all caused this
Boston retail merchant unconsciously
to concentrate upon himself much of
the attention of Major Mckinley. Dem
ocrat though he was, Mr.. Morse and
Mckinley became very close friends.
And the fact that Morse advocated a
tariff for revenue only, while Mckinley
was the apostle of high protection at
that time. seemed to intensity their
personal friendship.
Yet, Mckinley, who was more of
humorist than many persons sus-
pected, used often to indulge in sly fun
at Mr. Morse's expense, as, for in
stance, when, during a tariff debate
Mr.. Morse had complained that pro-
lection made it possible to buy clothes
cheaper in England than in the United
States, Mckinley took from his desk a
suit of clothes. He held them up to the
view of the House. He asked Mr.. Morse
If those clothes were not as good as
any that could be bought in England,
and if the price of the clothes was
not as low as would be charged for
like articles in England. Then he
read the label upon the clothes, which
showed that they had been purchased
at the clothing house of Leopold
Morse in Boston. Never was tariff
for revenue only debater more com
pletely confounded; but Mr.. Morse
frankly admitted that Mckinley had
got the better of him.
A day or two later Mr.. Morse made
the statement on the floor of the
House that he was certain that it was
impossible for a man beginning with
nothing and doing business with per-
feet honesty to make a fortune of three
million dollars by the time he was
sixty years Of age. He went so far as
to say that no fortune in excess of that
amount, unless it was inherited, was
earned honestly by any American.
An hour or two later Mckinley
beckoned Mr.. Morse to his side and
asked him:
"Did / understand you to say that no
fortune in excess of three million dol
lars could be honestly accumulated byl
any man in the United Statesg'
'Yes, said that; and believe It, y
was the positive answer.

course in the Canadian matter their sleep would
be dreamless and undisturbed.
AS view it, the next Republican state con-
vention will most cordially approve the stand of
President Taft and the voting of Senators Rich
ardson and dupont and Congressman Heald for
reciprocity will be praised
When the time comes il will be found, unless
we are greatly in error, that there will be hardly
shadow, if that Of opposition to the course of our

A PITIFUL STORY.

IT HAT was pitiful story the Lorimer Investi-
i eating Committee at Washington heard yes
terday when the son of State Senator of the
Illinois Legislature traced the bribe money which
his father admitted he had received for voting for
Lorimer for Senator
OF itself this little story shows that corruption
surrounde the election of Lorimer sufficient
TO prove that the Illinois man should be unseated
The State Senator whose confession of his own
bribery is thus confirmed by the record was
man who had previously stood high in the COM
munity. He was a member of a Baptist conven-
ton at the time the crooked work was going on
The deeper the probe is inserted into the Lorimer
scandal the more foul it becomes. But there will
be a fine lesson for good taught by the investies
ton, lesson that is quite obvious

Yes"
You, of course. have heard of Amos

Samuel Slater and his sons, the origi-
nators of cotton manufacture In New
England?"
yes, | have"
You know, of course, that the Law
renee brothers ventured all their little
capital in utilizing the water power of
the Merrimac river-that they built
cotton mills in what are now the cities
of Lowell and Lawrence.
Mr.. Morse b1gan TO be uneasy
Did you ever hear a word that re-
flected upon the business integrity or
personal character Of the Lawrences
or of the Skaters continued Mckinley
Don't you know that these men, by
their efforts, created the great man J.

Major said Mr.. Morse frankly, Il

And so greatly impressed was Leo

Various persons are now and then nabbed for
violating the speed laws in running their automo-
bes. Even careful drivers when fine stretch of
road is reached and nothing is in sight, cannot
resist the temptation to hit it up" little and
burn the road. If the truth we're known. there
IS hardly man who uses an automobile that does
not at some time violate the law. II is almost i'm.
possible TO keep from doing so. An effort was
made at the last Legislature TO increase the per-
missible speed limit but it was defeated When
fhe road is clear and nothing in sight in rural
district limit OF twenty-five miles an hour should

The Nebraska Republicans are -c&ha
year the first in the field with a St;gtt|
convention and their keynote rin(g'|
true. II President Taft had afi-l
doubts of his standing with Western
Republicans the Nebraska utterance9
should reassure him. In the State op
Bryan, in State where insurgen-
Republicans are strong and belliger
ent, the Presidents friends easily'
controlled the convention and gavq
the President and his ADMINISTRATOR
an Endorsement that is ungrudginr
and emphatic.
Following closely as IL does the
conspicuous triumph of the President
In securing the passage OF his Ca.
madam reciprocity agreement through
Congress this Nebraska Endorsement
Is IN the nature Of double victoryf
Attention Is called in the resolutions
adopted TO the negotiation OF the arbi
tration treaty, the tactfulness with.
which complications were avoided in,
Mexico during the recent revolutionl
there, the successful prosecution Of H.
legal trusts and COMPUTATIONS and the
reforms in his Administration which
make for economy and efiiciancy The.
record Of successful achievement is.
continuous. It began early and shows.
no sign of abatement.
The spirit shown by the Nebraska
Republicans is excellent Republi-
cans are accustomed to win and the
temporary setback of last November
is not going to abate one whit the
confidence, energy and spirit with
which they conduct their campaigns.
In Nebraska and the middle West they
are troubled by division in their
party scarcely noticeable elsewhere.
1t looks as though this division had
done its worst and is more likely 10
decline than to gather strength. The
insurgents were altogether ineffective
in the Nebraska convention and the
Republicans of that State put them
selves squarely on record for Taft
and his policies.
The insurgents in Nebraska must
join in this support or go over to the
Democratic party. as there is no mid
die course. They had better return
to their allegiance and join heartily
in the support of President Taft, who
is today in a stronger position in his
party and before the country than at
any time since his Inauguration.
