RYAN coRRoBoRArEs ROOSEVELT.

The idea that all big contributions to campaign
funds in 1904 were on the list Of Cornelius N. Bliss
gets hard jar from the testimony Of Thomas
Fortune Ryan, who alone gave $45oooo to the cause
Of Alton B. Parker in that year.
No single contributor in 1904 came anywhere
near equaling Mr.. Ryan's colossal gift No other
single contributor at any time In American politics,
except perhaps Charles P. Taft, ever gave 50 much
to political campaign. And Mr.. Ryan says II was
personal contribution taken wholly out Of his own
pocket-"dd not represent any one except myself. "
His business rival, E. H. Hartman, who attacked
Mr.. Ryan in the famous letter to Sidney Webster,
collected the $4,000 Hartman" contribution
from various sources
Mr. Ryan now corroborates the assertion Of
Colonel Roosevelt that the national contest in 1904
was never in doubt. And thus he substantially cor
roborates the Roosevelt statement that the Hartman
fund was raised not for the Presidential ticket, but
to save Harrimans friend Higgins from defeat for
the governorshp Of New York. e..
!; Mr. Ryan confirms the Roosevelt statement when
he testRes before the Clapp committee that before
the nomination at St. Louis he did not think Parker

paign it became quite apparent that Mr.. Parker
could not be elected" and that when he was told
the campaign would collapse unless he came to the
rescue Mr.. Ryan responded only because he wanted
to pay the party workers and preserve the Demo.
cratic organization. ~
Like nearly everybody else who knew anything
about politics, Mr.. Ryan knew there was never q
time when the election Of Colonel Roosevelt was
not certainty.
The testimony Of one who is leading backer Of
Governor Wilson now, Of one who in 1904 had
intimate inside knowledge Of the facts is all by itself
complete vindcation Of the ridiculous charge that
Theodore. Roosevelt importuned Wall Street fol

Here's agBook

THE Long Portage" by Harold
Bindioss. author Of winston Of the
Prairie" "vane Of the Timberlands,'
and others, is. written In the usual vein
and tells q story Of the towering clean
aired forests Of the Northwest. The
plot Is unusual, involving a curious
complication of situations and extraor-
dinary motives, so extraordinary. In
fact, that 1t is difficult for the reader
to follow the workings OF the mind of
the hero and principal figures. The
story Is by no means q problem play"
or an analyxation Of motives, having
far too much action. and some anaiy.
cation, more than is given. should be
allotted the motives Of one or two OF
the characters. ...
Mr.. Bindloss Is an artist Of no mean
ability when II comes to painting word
pictures Of the Northwest. but he should
not make them 30 attractive as to force
/! dim background. The story recalls those
Songwinded tales which are SO often
told by a camp fire, true and full Of
action, yet so often lacking In that
much abused requirement, balance.
A long journey of two men into tn:
| wilds results in the death Of one. A
| friend OF the victim suspects foul play.
! and following the trail. confirms his
| suspicious. he Wishes 70 bdNe tne Iutil-
| iiy name OF the culprit, yet he has fall
| len In love with the fancee Of the man
/ whose villainy he has discovered. A
struggle Of conflicting purposes follows,
| which does not hold the reader breath
less. owing to the fact that 1t Is Just
at the point that such mastery and
| ucid dissection of motives such as Mrs.
Humphry Ward might have given. is
really a necessity. Suddenly, all OF the
| characters enter the vicinity OF the
former tragedy. and "an exciting race
in the forest ensues. involving the shoot
| 90 rapids, in which the arduous
toll, tho roar. and fearsome treachery
the boiling waters is superbly pic
tured." That 10 very true. but II the
! convolutions Of the minds Of the pur-
defned for the delectation Of the
reader. the effect would be many time
more vivid. The outcome Is unexpectsdd: e !:
\ breezy tale. Despite dehnquencies, un-
mistakably real. is the atmosphere OF
the Northwest which permeates the
story and is its main charm. Frederick
A. stokes Company are the publishers,
and there is a. colored frontspiece by
Arthur Hutchins.

THE BIG CROP MARKDoWN.

Mr.. Taft adds to the cheerfulness of the outlook
by contributing to the statistics Of the harvest wealth
Of 1912 "Tama Jim" Wilson's analysis Of their
effect the dinner table A cut of $500, ,00C 900
in the cost Of living, the nations official agrcul-
tural expert figures out. The enormous bumper
crops, through their very size, will force down the
price Of food products; and though the farmers will
be able to cash in just so much less the people in
general ought to count lower housekeeping bills
he estimates.
1t is a pleasant thought for so,OOo,OOO Of US at
least, with Thanksgiving coming along and especially
as Mr.. Bumper Crop, and no political bureau, is
universally named as entitled all the credit when
the prices do drop.

COLONEL RoosEvELTS TRIP EAST.

The whole country, without regard to politics or
faction, will rejoice that Colonel Roosevelt has borne
so we'll the long and arduous trip from Chicago to
his Long Island home. So far as personal appear
ance before the public is concerned it is unlikely
that he will take further part in the campaign aside
from the address at Madison Square Garden on
Wednesday night Of next week. That is unimport.
ant compared to the fact now pretty definitely estab
lished that the former President is the high road
to entire recovery Of his Health, and that matter
what may be the immediate political developments,
he will continue a.leader in the great work to which
he has devoted himself.
Election is two weeks from today. Governor
Wilson has left the stump and declares he will not
reappear on it until Colonel Roosevelt is able to
do So On all sides, as a result of the unfortunate
affair at Milwaukee, the disposition is to eliminate
the asperities from the campaign There will be no
whirlwind finish, in dust Of charges and counter
charges elimination and recrminaton. The people
are to be allowed for once, to 60 to the polls in
calmness and sanity, to vote as their judgments die
tate. The roorback will be laid firmly aside, and
the varegated political ISLANDERS that too commonly
are sprung in the closing days of the fight when
effective answer is impossible will not be brought
out this year.
The long-delayed but emphatic refutation of the
Parker charges of 1904 has had most steadying

vast sums Of interest money were being raised to
compel the election of Roosevelt In the hope OF

BULLETINS" AND ORDERS"

At the time OF the recent wreck at Westport,
Conn.,, on the New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad, the railroad officials tried to place the blame
on the dead engineer. They said he dsobeyed orders
in that he going faster than the book Of rules
specified trains should take crossover switches, and
bulletin" was introduced as evidence to prove that
orders against making time had been Issued
In commenting upon this defense Of the railroad
company The Evening Times said that it would be
profitable if the authorities making the investigation
would ascertain whether not such bulletins" were
not issued merely to give the railroad defense on
just such occasions as the Westport wreck, but in
reality the engineer who would obey these bulletins
and thereby lose time would be punished il not dis
missed, by the railroad.
In short, the engineers have orders entirely diff
ferent from those contained in the bulletins" More
over, they are given to understand that it is their
confidential orders and not the bulletins that they
must obey.
Since then comes the information that about
week before the Westport wreck the New York, New
Haven and Hartford road issued a notice to the
engineers Of the road that they must make up lost
time, and tnat il was in obedience to this order,
which was contrary to the bulletin" which the cor
poration now flashes as proof of the guilt of the
engineer, that Clark, the dead engineer running
his train at high speed. ~
SurTeu over Inc persistent eHortS OF We TaliToau
company to make tine dead engineman the criminal,
it is also reported that the brotherhood will take
hand in the matter and expose the double dealing of
the railroad - -.
As the first move in this direction the public is
given bulletin" which the road issued to engineers
cautioning them not to make too much haste, and
always put safety before speed This is accompanied
by the publication Of an "order" which every engine
received from his superintendent in the form Of
private communication. 1t says:
Entirely too much time is being lost, especially on
local trains. 1t is also of the utmost Importance
that enginemen be alive prompt to take signals
make quick moves In this respect 1t is only necessary
to call your attention to the old adage, which Is true
one, that when train or engnemen do not make good
local trains 1t thoroughly demonstrates those
detrimental to the service we'll to their own
personal interests; and such instead Of being
signed to other runs, should be dispensed with
Here is the plain, unmistakable threat to dis
charge enginemen who do not make up time and
put speed ahead of other things. .s
1t is time to ascertain just what are the actual
running orders under which railroad trains are oper.
ated and to stop railroads from issuing bulletins
for the foong of the public and the officials and
then ordering their employees, under penalty of dis
missal, to disregard these bulletins"
