him in our business: and during his sec

ration, but served his countrymen. a at

Jefferson's second term was success.

The next item OF Importance developed
in this connection is tho fact that Lieut.
Becker, who is in jail under accusation

cause the latter was about TO disclose the
connection between the police and the
gambling business. had i'm the nine
months previous to tho crime deposited
at least $3.50 III various banks, his SAL
arg in that period being only s1.tis7. The
conclusion from these two figures is
obvious. They serve as strong corrobora-
ton OF the testimony given by Rose,
Becker's alleged collector and his sup
posed agent in arranging for the killing
OF RosenthaI, regarding the regular paw
ments by tho gamblers TO the police 1t
Is noteworthy that this Information came
TO the district attorney virtually unsolicit-
ed. the clearing house committee of New
York having requested Of all the banks the
SUBMISSION of every possible fact to the

police corruption. This is powerful

money making of others than Becker

Roosevelt's method of argument reminds
one or the free-silver debate between the
Georgia farmers when the campaign OF
1895 was raging. The free slverite got
the first GO and spoke long and vehe-
mently, making all kinds of statements
his opponent wouldn't admit. He allowed
no interruption. The other man couldn
get in a word edgewise. AS soon as his
opponent rose TO speak the free silverite
left the platform.
