THE ssBOODLER'S" SONG.
How dear to my heart are the
scenes of my battles"
Presidential elections recall
them to view,
The senate, the members, the call
of the chairman,
Awake in my heart things
which we used to do;
The yelp of the "pee-pul" at the
way that we ran it,
The laugh of the rich when a
bad" bill got lost"
The howl of the worker who could
not quite see it,
The great time we had on the
dough" we were toss'd.
Chorus.
The dough" of the old day,
When each day was payday,
When even on Sunday,
We figured the cost.
When Taft gets through with
the president job he ought to
make a good white hope
Now the Cummins candidacy
causes candidates to calculate.
We're glad We got rid of that.
Says Bryan, "At running I'm
tame,
Ny free silver issue was lame
I'll stick to my job
AS a writer, By Hob,
That's an easier way to win
fame"
Jack Johnson wants to be an
alderman. He ought to be able
to whip his opponents into line
quite easily.

CALL FOR COTTON MEETING
Members of Exchange Will Confer in
New York July 10.

Louisville, Ky.-At a conference here
of members of cotton exchanges from all
sections, a meeting of the insurance,
shipping, railroad, banking and cotton
interests was called for July 13, in New
York, to finally dispose of the trouble
some insurance question.
A resolution was adopted to the eff
feet that: at is the sense of this meet
ing that cotton should be properly COW
cred, with the ends sewed and the bale OF
the proper density, and that we will lend
our efforts toward accomplishing this
end, but we consider that q bale of cot
ton with two uncovered sample holes
does not constitute bad condition, sucf
sample holes being absolutely necessar!
for the proper conduct of the business
and we believe the steamship agent'
have shown that claims due to open sam
pie holes have been frivolous ant
trifing."

1t must be clear to most people that
so-called Republican progressives who
at the drop Of a battered old hat sur
rendered all their principles and hur.
rahed for autocracy, as the inhabi-
tants of Rome many centuries ago ap-
plauded Julius Caesar. are not OF the
stuff of which modern reformers are
made. They never have controlled
their party and they are never likely
to do 30. By their colossal folly. how
ever, they have taken the most effec'
| tive course to rid the country OF a
| corrupt and oppressive political organ
ization which is the greatest STUN
bling block in the way Of true prog
ress.
We trust that Democrats from one
end OF the country to the other Will
not fail to note the fact that the very
stars In their courses are fighting foI
them and that circumstances V
designated them unerringly for
great and glorious work.
The hour for progress has struci

It must profit by the plumbers an
crimes and weaknesses OF the part

L0RlMER CASE IS
Up TO The SENATE
ZIMMERMAN HINES CHARGED
WITH BUYING VOTES.
TWO REPORTS SUBMITTED
Majority Exonerates Illinois Senator
From Charges of Corruption-The
Minority Report Sharp in
Its Denunciation.

Washington.-The Lorimer case was
placed squarely before the senate Tor
tinal settlement. The majority mem
bers of the committee, Senators Dilling-
ham, Johnston, Fletcher, Gamble and
Jones, filed a lengthy report, setting
forth that there was no appearance OF
corruption in Lorimer's election. Inc
minority members, Senators Kern, Lea
and Kenyon, filed their views, MAINTAIN
ing that ten of the votes cast for LORI
mer were obtained by corrupt methods,
and that Edward Hines, the millionaire
Chicago lumberman, was influential III
"putting Lorimer. over"
The statement of the minority mem
bers is particularly sharp in its denun-
| citation OF the methods used in Lorimer's
election. According to these senators,
thetestimony tagen by the committee,
establishes Mr.. Hines as zone who looked
upon everything and everybody as being
purchasable, the only question OF doubt
in his mind being the amount OF money
necessary to purchase this or that per
son."
The majority of the committee report
ed that all the rules of law, judicial pro
cedure and justice required that the sen
ate's former judgment in Senator Lori
mer's favor be held final and conclusive
and that there was absolutely no new
and substantial evidence discovered oil
this reinvestigation, his election bein;
. "the logical result Of existing politica
conditions in Illinois,"
=, The minority reported that the ev
i dence presented at the second investlgs
ton was broader and more far-reaci
y ing than the previous inquiry brough
out, and that it conclusively estabiishe
that at least ten OF the votes cast fc
Lorimer were corrupt, and hat his ele
d ton therefore was invalid.
II The minority report declares, I'VE ha'
~ no hesitancy in stating that the invest
g CATION establishes beyond contradicti'

obtained by corrupt means"

RECEIVER FOR $1,000 900 PROPER
TIES PETITIONED.
INJUNCTION Is ASKED FOR
English, French, German, Belgian n
American Merchants Are Defend
ants-Restraint of Trade
Charged.

New York.-Attorney General wick
ersnam has moved against the so-called
coffee trust, or Brazilian valorization
scheme. In a petition in equity filed in
federal court here the valorization plan
is declared to be a violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
The court is asked to decree the scheme
unlawful, to %enJoin the valorization com
mittee from withholding coffee from the
market and to appoint a receiver to see
the $4,000 bags, valued at S~1O,0OO,Ooo
now alleged to be stored in warehouses
of the New York Dock Company.
The government also applied for a
temporary injunction restraining the
valorization committee from removing
or disposing of coffee held in America
pending the termination of the issue.
Members of the v~alorization commit
tee have agreed and conspired among
themselves, the government charges, u
withhold from the market large quaint
ties of coffee and raise the price to al
J, unreasonable extent. They have thus at
tempted, it is declared, to restrain tn
coffee trade throughout the world AM
ito injure and defraud the public TO
their own enrichment"
J The suit has a distinctly internationa
I aspect. The Brazilian state of Sto Paul
is party to the agreements which ar
declared unlawful in America. The COY
eminent holds that the Brazilian stat
was induced to enact laws and ente
in agreements in connection with tn
valorization plan by those interested
increasing the price of coffee.
As the United States consumes fort
per cent of all the coffee sold in tt
world, the petition declares every a
/. which prevents its importation in no
NAL quantities or increased prices IS
"a direct restraint upon the foreign and

WHAT COL. ROOSEVELT DID
record a. President Of the Man Who
Now Seeks to Be Elected
Again.

When a man has held office for sew.
en- and one-half years, and still wants
more office. 1t is proper to ask what
use he has made of his term of power.
What he thinks. talks, wishes or hopes
does not count. He had a chance to
do. What did he do?
Mr.. Roosevelt was president for al
most two full terms. What did he do
that another term should be given to
him in violation of the nations tradi-
ton against third terms?
He protected his friends who own
the Sugar trust from prosecution,
while that trust was stealing millions
of dollars from the government by
means of loaded scales.
He ran up the expenses of admins.
tfation to double what they had been
a few years before.
He brought on a panic which caus
ed hundreds of thousands of working
men to be out Of employment fol-
months and spread ruin and bank
ruptcy all over the country.
He permitted the Steel trust, in di
rect violation Of law. to buy up 1t,
only important competitor.
+ He tried to revive the alien and Sc
dition laws to abolish a free press AM
free speech.
He allowed the infamous tariff rot
berry to continue. not only unchecked
but unchallenged through his entir
term.
His most intimate friends and hi
most trusted advisers were standpa
/ tiers and beneficiaries of the robbie
: tariff.
He was the best president for Wa
street that Wall street ever had.
And yet, in some mysterious ma
ner. Mr.. Roosevelt has persuaded II

1t was while Roosevelt was pounding

A Clear as Day."

Is 1t possible for Mr.. Roosevelt to
tell the truth about any matter in
which he is personally interested?
Take as an example the statement
he made in his Worcester speech about
the third-term tradition. Mr.. Roose-
welt said:
Therefore, 1t is as clear as day that
third term that violates the tradition.
| had this in view when | said that the
custom regards the substance and not
the form"
Mr.. Roosevelt knows that previous
to the time he broke his own solemn
| pledge the third-term issue had arisen
only once In American history. That
was In the case Of Grant, who retired
from the White House March 4. 1877
and whose followers endeavored tc
nominate him for president again II
1880.
The Grant campaign was the cam
paign that definitely established tn
third-term tradition. 1t was not
consecutive third term, but the kim
of a third term that Theodore Roose
welt is seeking.
These are all elementary fact
known to the most casual student G
American history, yet because the
relate to his own candidacy Mr.. Roos'
welt Is incapable of telling the trut
about them.
