Roosevelt Didn't Ask for Money.

He most certainly did not" MIR.
Loeb replied with emphasis. 1t was
the other way around. Mr.. Hartman
asked him to get Mr.. Bliss or Mr.. Cor
telyou to transfer money from the
national campaign treasury because it
was his belief that Odell was uncertain
about the outcome in New York. You
are all safe, Mr. Hartman said. You
are certain TO carry New York and can
afford to be generous.
II was present throughout the entire
interview, and at its conclusion Mr..
Roosevelt asked me to call up Mr.. Cor
telyou and tell him Of Mr.. Harriman's
request and that MIR. Hartman would
call on him in New York"
Did Mr.. Hartman specify any
amount in his request for aid for
Odell?"
He did not"
Were you present at the interview
that took place between the President
and H. H. Rogers and John d. Arch
bold referred to in Mr.. Archbold's tecti-
mony?'
II was not"
Mr.. Loeb did not attempt to explain
why the fact that he was present at
the interview had remained unknown
so long.
No subpoena had been served upon
him asking him to appear before the
campaign fund investigating commit
tee. Mr.. Loeb said, but he had seen his
lame on the list of those who were 10
be summoned.
WAS your trip TO oyster Bay on
Sunday made for the purpose of OH
tanning Mr.. Roosevelts consent To your
explaining what you know of the mat
ter?" he was asked.
The position Of secretary to the
President is a delicate one he an
swered. land as ! was present at the
interview in that Office ] would hardly
do so without the consent Of the
colonel"
At the end Of his remarks. when
seemed to indicate that he would sup
port Colonel Roosevelt II he were
called upon to testify. Mr.. Loeb reiter-
ated a statement made earlier in the
day wherein he declared that he was
out Of politics and that the report Of
the interview at oyster Bay in which
he was quoted as saying that he had
come out for Roosevelt was false.
The story is absolutely without
foundation" he said.

To Spread Suffrage.

In esta blishing stock company for
the presentation of suffrage plays, the
Rev. Marie Jenrey Howe OF New
York has opened TO the suffragists n
telling means of spreading their belief
in the political equality of women ana
men. No more potent and insinuat-
ing form of argument exists today
than that of the play. In it we can
see thought made actual through the
emotions and actions o. human be-
ings. If the snags of didactieism and
preachment, of comforting life to ex-
press an idea instead of finding in
life that idea expressed-if these are
avoided in the plays of the company
far-reaching results may be expected.
The undertaking will be watched with
interest and sympathy by the con-
stantly growing number of men and
women who believe in the justice of
universal suffrage

Keep the Pastry Clean.

The movement by the women's clubs
of Washington might well be taker
up in other cities, large or small. II
is their determination that the bread
sent out by the bakeries shall be kept
as clean and free from contamination
as possible.
The word boycott hasn't very
pleasant sound to many ears. but
whatever may be the word. The I'M
pertant thing is that they will refuse
to patrorize dealers VINO DO not, sci
bread which. has been wrapped before
it leaves the bakery.
These precautions are taken in other
cities. and there seems to be no good
reason why they sheuld not be taken
here.

cypress Trust Forssees Ruin.

The further the investigation by the
Interstate Commerce Commission goes

limited only by the fear II popular

This fear did not, however. prevent

vances III prices and such outrageous
advantages of the public, THAI q re-

apparent daily.
Now these great express monopolies

into the necessity of parcels posi-
md the possible consequence of ruin
Cd express business. II viii be a just
fate.
4 general traffic manager for one
of the express companies admitted be-
fore the inter- state Commerce Conn
mission yesterday that express rates
were fixed regardless of what the
freight rates were-that, in fact, no
man now knows how the express rates
were originally made-or ON what basis
they were figured. The day before
Witness contended that an express
rate two and a half times the first
class freight rate WAS not sufficient
and that three times that rate was
the average in his company. How
ever, he said they did not attempt to
ADJUST their rates on any fixed mui-
tiple of the freight rates except that
their contracts with the railroads pre-
vided that their rates should not be
less than twice the freight rate,
Above that presumably the principle
was TO collect all the traffic would

| after il has become "sot in IFS ways.
It has been trying to instil high
standard OF business ethics by putting
trust laws on the statute books. ap-
parently refusing 10 admit that laws
will not cure the weakness of igno-
rance or habit. 1t has been trying
to develop industry and improve the
condition of men when they are past
the period during which character and
habits are formed.
The measure introduced by Senator
Page gets TO the root of every evil
that faces the public today. 1t pro-
v;dea. in brief, for encouraging instruc-
ton in agriculture, the trades and in
dustries, and home economies; fer
maintaining instruction in these vo-
cational subjects in State normal
schools; for maintaining extension de-
partncnts in State colleges of agrf-
culture and mechanic arts. and for
an appropriation BY the government
%Df t0-ppeFd tlpn with the states TO al
those ends.
Cooperation between the govern
ment and the states in the encourage
ment Of vocational studies would lead
to greater uniformity in education.
The Kind of studies suggested would
lead 10 higher sense OF business
honor in the future. and would equip
the coming generations for real ser
vice III the world. Instead of Young
men and young women trying 10 find
themselves and fit themselves into the
system after graduation. they would
be directed from the beginning toward
the activity for which they are besr
qualified There would not be so much
fumblng and cropping. The progress
of future generations would be surer

The Rule of the People.

4 widely circulated exchange, the
Indianapolis News, GndD, writes Wv
IDLY of liberty, law and the Price. 1t
summarizes conditions in the state of
New York and the logic is applicable
everywhere--the small percentage Of
the people who control our political
destinies. II is good topic for dis
cussion. Our exchange says:
Speaking Of the rule Of the people.
q New York paper makes a simple
analysis that throws much light on it.
There are in New York something
more than nine million people. OF
these about one million five hundred
thousand have the franchise. OF
course, we know that voters are never
unanimous about anything. There
are always what we call the Two
great parties" In addition there are
many thousands of voters divided
among lesser parties. So consider
ably less than half of the 100000
voters out OF nine million people in
New York decides what shall be the
rule of action. That is at most about
10000 make this decision. If the new
charter OF democracy be sound and
the people in their legislative capac-
itv have the right to have the power
To enact into low any measure they
deem necessary for the betterment OF
social and Industrial conditions. then
100000 people IN New York can do as
they will with the interests of the
other 100000. Neither courts nor
constitution can intervene to protect
any body's rights against the decree
% what is called the people under
this system of government.
THE device of popular elections
gives 10 half of those that have the
suffrage The power to enact their will.
II this is to be anrestrained, if there
are no Constitution and no courts to
protect the general share in eiviliZa-
lion, where are we? Manifestly in the
hands of the most relentless tyranny
that mankind las ever experienced
the tyranny Of the mass.

Senator Pages Bill.

The bill introduced by Senator Page
of Vermont is likely to be deeried as
an invasion of state rights. but
pretty strong answer is ready. The
measure itself looks 10 instructing the
growing generation in vocational
studies and, we believe, should be
given more than ordinary considera-
ton by Congress. If it is opposed.
there is the fact to remember that tho
states must do their share before they
receive national aid. Already the gov
eminent is doing considerable educa-
tional work and there seems no good
reason why IL should not extend its
activities.
In substance. Senator Pages bin St
tacks a universal problem from tho
right angle. For many years Congress
has been trying to improve mankind
