NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.

The Republicans in New York State
have nut I'D a candidate for Governor
in whom all appear to have the utmost
confidence. The President has tele-
graphed to him, "Your campaign of
truth and common sense will elect the
whole ticket" This is high praise,
and il is encouraging TO Republicans
everywhere TO know that there is as
candidate of their party for Governor
Of the great State Of New York man
in whom President Taft has such CON
fidence.
Mr.. Job Hedges. that candidate, has
repute for wit and for a quaint way
of putting things that is expected 10
stand him in good stead during the
campaign. In his speech of acceptance
he exhibited his quality in the side
drive which he made against Col
Roosevelt as follows: "It isn't a
square deal where one fellow deals all
of the time. A lot Of the agitation that
lows who want to do all Of the dealing
And people are going to suspect the
souareness of any deal where one fellow
or one side does all of it.
The campaign in the most populou,

couraging auspices and we are allowed
to hope that the outlook will becom,
better and better from now until elec
tion day, and that Mr.. Hedges will b.

THE SAME OLD CONTRIBUTORS.

II is curious to see how the same old
names repeat themselves i'll the same
old way Here is the testimony before
the Senate stigating Committee as
TO the big political contributions for
the Roosevelt campaign fund in 1904.
-Four men are named who contributed
100000 each in 1904 to the Roosevelt
National campaign fund. Morgan con-
tributcd S150,0O0 in ALL Perkins got
panies for the same fund, and alto
gether the trusts contributed T31a per
cent Of the total campaign fund for
Roosevelt's election eight years ago.
Perkins was prominent at that time,
and he is prominent now. He appears,
in fact. to have been the man who
raised most of the money for Roose-
velt then, just as he is the man who
raises the money for Roosevelt now;
the same old contributors, the same old
agencies, the same old big contribu-
tions; but Morgan gives nothing this
year.
Col Roosevelt was the trust candi-
date that year, and he is the trust
candidate now. He doubtless gave the
same assurances TO the trust bosses
that year that be must have given also
the present year. He allowed them
their own way, notably in the forma-
tion Of the big Steel Trust when he
uuiawfully guaranteed them immunity
from prosecution for the defiance Of
the law when the trust broke down and
absorbed the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company. The present year Col. Roose-
welt has stated emphatically that he
would not prosecute the trusts, that
he does not think that the antitrust
that his programme will be to recog-
nize the trusts and regulate them,
Every one knows what that means. 1t
means that the trusts would have to
be friendly to Roosevelt or he, if elect
ed President, would crush them. His
division Of trusts into good and bad
has been we'll known for a long time.
The good trusts are the trusts that are
for him, the bad trusts are those that
do not support him. And 80 he would
have the trusts all Roosevelt trusts, and
would smash those that were not.
1t is no wonder that Roosevelt's spe-
cial manager, Senator Dixon of Mon
tana, is so extremely touchy about the
investigation which the Senate com.
mittee is making into this matter Of
| campaign contributions. He knows that
Roosevelt must necessarily suffer by
reason of the developments made. But
he ought TO know, further, that his
bumptious attitude toward the com.
mittee serves only to call attention to
his terror, and to arouse the interest
Of the country into the keenest pos
sible scrutiny Of what is being devel-
oped, and to give notice beforehand
that Dixon considers that the investi-
cation is especially harmful to Roose-
velt. There appears to be ample ground
for this suspicion Of Dixon, although
not for the reason that he states. the
true reason being that the investiga.
tion shows Roosevelt to be child and
/ the tool of the trusts, and that the
| American people have nothing to ex-
pect from him in the way Of enforcing
the law or relieving them Of the bur
| den of trust eXtortion.

NOT so DIFFERENT.

An Eastern contemporary. which is
distrustful Of China, the Topeka State
Journal TO wit, has this brief editorial
criticism upon recent occurrence;
How far short China is progressing

every man is conceded inalienable rights,
is exempified by the order OF Its presi-
dent which brought about the execution
OF more than 200 of alleged mutlnous

excoriated for proceeding against SOL
diers without military trial or a
court OF inquiry; for it is not so many
years ago since the then President Of
the United States did precisely the same
thing, save only that the soldiers he
disgraced were not executed, though
they were dismissed from the service
of the United States in ignomiuy with
the stigma attached to them that they
would be ineligible for the military ser.

No Third Party Ticker
In WashtenaqC County

ANN ARBOR, Mich, July 20
After weeks OF worry Republican
office-holders and Republicans who
want TO be officeholders are begin
ming TO enjoy their usual sleep at
night.
The third party controversy has
proved a nightmare which has pre-
vented the peaceful slumber OF ma
jVrity of them ever since the Chicago
convention, but they now believe that
everything Is lovely, IS II has been
decided 10 place no third party ticket
In the field here. This decision was
arrived at in a meeting OF Republi-
cans, both progressive and the com
mon or garden variety being present
in large numbers. The situation IN
every part OF the county was can
ysssed, and with few exceptions the
report was that the progressive Re
publicans desired but one thing, and
that was a chance TO cast their ballots
for Roosevelt. Thus assured, the
meeting solemnly passed a resolution
declaring that II was the sense OF the
meeting that new party ticket ~
this country was unnecessary, ana
that the progressive element or the
party would gladly rally 10 the sup
port OF the Republican candidates Tor
county office wherever II was found
that these candidates espoused the
cause of the progressives.

We imagine that these few words
describe Wilson's character pretty
thoroughly And why isn't his plan
pretty good one for all of us who
haven't such a big thing as the presi-
dency staring us in the face, but VINO
are apt TO decide our little personal
propositions on impulse and without
ANALYSIS of facts and conditions.
II means to think before we act.
But most of us pass upon the small
details, which really go TO make up
life. without consideration Of circum-
stances or results fellow may be

The fellow who hears all the argu-

Undoubtedly candidate Wilson will

their motives, consult his own heart
and head and then decide for him

Lord never made a mere man so per-

decided in accord with what he be-
lieved TO be the right and the fellow
who does that can afford to let the
