endeavor to riddle Roses charges

underworld. Burns who arrived in
this city yesterday from Baltimore de-
MED the story, as also did District At

with the eaElier statements made by
the gambler. but Rose declares that
the statement is the absolute truth and
any different statements made earlier

We agree with Geo. w. Egan
insofar as firing CONS. Basford is
concerned. But then Basford did
exactly what every other politi-
clan, regardless of color or shade
would do under the circumstances,
that is, to entrench himself in his
position by r%cwarding the faithful
and Furnishing the %unfaithful. BY
remembering only a few news
papers with the juicy insurance
statements, Basford only took ad
vantage of the old law which made
no provision for a just and even
distribution of this patronage. II
Egan will suggest and draft laws
that will be more specific in sub.
stance than many we now have,
we shall then be satisfied that he
will do what is right. But the
many wild promises he makes
makes us just a trife skeptical o.
his sincerity.

Some people are shaking their
heads because Congress proposed
to cut off the appropriation of S25
900 annually for the travelling ex.
penses of the Presidene. 1t must
not be forgotten however, that
the lower house has a preponde.
rous majority of democratic mem
bers, and as travelling brings the
president in touch with the com.
mon herd, these same men think
he might use this sum to boost his
own selfish ends always provided,
however the incumbent is a repub'
lican.

Post. gen. Hitchcock whispered

Post. gen. Hitchcock whispered
into the ear of pres. Taft. that the
government ought to take over
the telegraph and the telephone
business of the country. Now,
this is a sOcialistic idea and may
be put to q test the outcome of
which will be an information for
the people and socialists as well,
in what way and how the govern
ment can take possession of this
business. 1t dare not take it by
force or c%oniscation, because this
is in direct opposition of the So
cialistic idea. 1t cannot buy out
the companies because no doubt
the stock is akin to the earth: one
fourth land and three fourths
water. 1t cannot very well con-
struct lines of its own and throw
itself into a competitive fight
which would at the end prove
very expensive and probably dis
astrous to the whole plan. Some
day we will yet find out how far
we are as a nation in the clutches
of the predatory rich, the monopo
ly and greed. Anyhow we hope
! that Mr.. Hitchcock and Pres. Taft

for its aim chiefly to Undue the

are opposed to it. Murder is

it and makes no difference whether
it is committed singly or by the
thousands; both is repulsive, in.

That letter of LOomis S, Gull by
being given such publicity is pro-
badly very unfortunate for both
Mr., Gull and Mr.. Byrne. 1t
sounds rs if a little boy had writ
ten it. In the first place Mr. Gull
seems to be very much frightened
lest Geo. w. Egan, who is also a
candidate for governor, should de-
feat them both and be elected final
ly. This, Mr. Gull in his child
wish letter aers, would be the
greatest calamity to the state.
Why isn't Mr., Gull more specific.
Does he mean that the state and
the people would go to the dogs
or does he mean that some politi-
clans and office holders would be
busted from their jobs, as Mr..
Egan promises to do in case of be-
ing elected. Further on Mr. Gull
tries to refute the charge of sell
fishness of both himself and Mr..
Byrne by proposing to withdraw
if Mr.. Byrne does the same and
each name ten prominent republi-
cans, twenty in all, who would
then proceed to select a formidable
candidate against Geo. Egan.
BY this very desire Mr.. Gull
only convinced not only indiffer-
ent voters, but his own supporters
that he is selfish and illogical. In
other words Mr.. Gull means to
say to Byrne IF / cannot run for
governor, you can't either", and
we do not call this loyalty to the
rep. party of which he makes a
boast in his letter, Mr.. Byrne act
ed the man by answering this child
ish epistle by asserting that he
shall remain in the contest and
that the voters are going to decide
this.
As far as we have the situation
sized up, we believe that if Mr.,
Byrne cannot convince the voters
that he is the proper man at this
time for fhe Office, so Godspeed:
let Mr.. Egan have the office anc
no n needs to loose sleep over il
either, Mr.. Gull by his nonsense
cal prattle disqualifies himself ane
Mr.. Byrne by virtue of his Office
as lieutenant governor ought t.
land the job if he can show that hi
was a faithful servant as such.
