Touching a Sore Spot.

United States Senator Culberson of
Texas has started something. He says
that the slush funds of 1904 and 1908
reached millions, that ambassadorships
were bestowed as a reward for contri-
buttons, and intimated that 1900, 900
was raised in the campaign for Colo
mel Roosevelts election. The Texan
wants a little light, but it is very i'm
probable that the republican senate
will touch the button.
Big business has been eleeting re-
publican presidents for a number of
years. That the slush funds have been
enormous no one can successfully con-
tradict 1t was the power of organized
greed that defeated Bryan in 1896 and
has defeated democrats since that
time. Organized greed has done this
because it has opposed those funda
mental principles advocated by Bryan
and which today are the issues upon
which the present national political
battle is being fought If the truth
was known about the slush funds the
nation would be shaken and the world
would be astounded at the prostitution
OF the system of American politics by
those very interests which have reaped
greatest profits from our system of
taxation. These millions have been
wrung from the people. They have
been taken from the smaller corpora
tions and have been amassed as the
result of high tariff oppression and
monopoly.
Whether Senator Culberson succeeds
in having the light turned on or not
he has touched sore spot in Ameri
can politics.

The FaIlacy Of Protection.

Whenever an American trust wants
the tariff rate raised, it bases its plea
on the argument that American man.
ufacturers cannot compete with the
cheap labor of Europe"
In IL months of last year the ex-
ports OF iron and steel products, to-
gether with agricultural implements
and freight and passenger cars,
amounted to nearly $4,000, OOO-an
increase of about S54,OOO,O 900 over the
corresponding period Of 1910.
These materials are exported from
this country to all parts of the world.
in the face of the competition of Eng
land, Belgium. Germany and France.
The steel trusts foreign competitors
had the advantage OF that Cheap
labor" which the trusts and their re-
publican friends fear so greatly when
ever proposal is made to lower the
tariff, yet the trusts trade in foreign
markets is constantly on the increase.
How much longer will the people al
low themselves to be fooled by trust
"logic?"

in? Must democrats like Bryan, Will
son, Folk and that class, harmonic
with Guffey, Sullivan, Harmon, Under
wood and that class, for the purpose
of fighting republicans like La Toilette
and his class? Is this the good be-
havior for which the country is ready
to turn its affairs over to the demo-
cratic party? We doubt it. Governor
Folks speech at the banquet struck a
better keynote than Mr.. Mack's. Gov
ernor Folk said: THE present rising
tide of democracy is not for the demo
cratic party, no matter how controll-
ed, but in favor of real democratic
principles"

led the fight against them. He de-
nounced those measures, declaring they
were conceived in iniquity, and warn
ed members who voted for them that
they would dig their political graves
a prophecy that has been filled to the
letter. His popularity, too, has been
tested. When barely out of his teens
he was a candidate for congressman
in the Aurora district, and though there
was no chance for election, he ran sew
eral thousand votes ahead of his tick
ct. In 1886 he was nominated for gov
ernor and led his ticket by $4,000 votes.
Mr.. Aischuler is the sort of man the
tines demand. He has never been a
factionist. He is honest, able, faithful,
an ideal citizen. If nominated and
elected he will bring his party back
to its best traditions.

John Mitchell.

There is general satisfaction in the
fact that John Mitchell has defeated
his foes I'm the Indianapolis convention.
He has secured the passage Of a reso-
luton for an investigation of his charge
that the miners convention at Column
bus. Ohio, last year was packed against
him when It demanded his resignation
Rs an officer OF the Civic Federation.
Those who know John Mitchell be-
jieve that he will prove his charge if
he is given a square deal Mitchell is
a thoughtful. careful. earnest man
Public sentiment seems TO be with
him. He has been safe and sane
leader Of labor. He is Fundamental!
and he is fearless. He is one Of the

both of Basils legs had been broken.
There had also been a slight paralysis

he would be drag on his friends the
rest of his crippled life.
During this period Of depression
Basil wrote to Emily Ford and offered
her her freedom. He told her that he
was a broken wreck Of a man and that
be could not offer his life to any wo-
man now. He said that he loved her;
that he always would love her. He
could not do otherwise, for she was
the one woman in the world for him,
but it was only fair TO her to release
her from her allegiance to one who
had once been a strong man, but now
was merely a helpless invalid
Emily Ford sent back the diamond
ring he had given her in token Of their
engagement. She did not write any
thing. She merely sent back the ring
that was all.
Suddenly Basil looked up from bis
magazine and espied Miss Nettie Perry
still hanging valentines in the shop
window. In a fury of despair he flung
his magazine across the room and up
set his sisters favorite pot of flowers.
The pot fell to the floor with a crash
and the earth was scattered over the
neat floor.
Basil was staring shamefacedly al
the ruin he had wrought when his
mother and sister entered.
"What is the matter, dear? Oh, you

Italy's Costly War.

How much is the italian Adven-
ture" in Tripoli to cost?
The original estimate, said to have
been made to the government in Rome,
was s1O,o00,oO0. This was also the
original estimate for England's Afghan
war, which afterward ran up to over
500 000,0 900 In the same way, the
Boer war as "budgeted" by Chancellor
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, was to cost
about $50,OO0,OOO, the total bill was
$1,000, 100000.
The looks Of the Tripolitan balance
sheet are changing daily. Recently a
political economist in Rome has put
the probable debit at 100000, 900. But
most men who know how costly a
thing an army in action is say that
this is too moderate. They believe
that unless the war pouch is loosened
more than this, Italy can hope only TO
control the coast line. They point to
the Algerian expenditures as proof of
their words.
On the best advices obtainable in
this country the war is costing Italy
about 100000 a day. When one
considers its top-heavy national debt
and its weak position in the European
loan market, one does not entirely
envy the financial prospect which this
little run into Africa" has placed be
fore its statesmen.

His Pink Valentine-By Clarissa Mackie

At Miss Perry's little stationary
store on the opposite corner they were
hanging valentines in the front win
dow. Basil Ames could see a white
sleeved arm dart in and out behind
dimity curtains, and each time the arm
darted out it left another gorgeously
tinted love missive on the line swing
ing across the pane.
"Bahr' muttered Basil contemptu-
ously and drew back in the shadow Of
his own window curtains and ratified
his clutches to remind himself that
he was now a helpless lump of hu-
mainly and had nothing to do with
love or lovemaking.
Basil's mother, passing through the
hall, glanced into the sitting room and,
seeing her big son absorbed in read
ing, nodded her head and smiled ap-
prevail. She went on into the kitchen
where her daughter Mary was max

slender young girl with all Of Basips

more softer feminine way. AS she

mother.

The Antidote.
Oh. be little busy bee
That's hunting after honey,
Pursuing pleasure, gay and free, =
Or chasing easy money!
Then you will never have to fret
And in resentment dabble a.
Or work yourself into a pet
Because the gossips gable. -
It's one with nothing on his mind
Who really thinks It matters
Because the gossips are unkind
And tearing him to tatters.
He wonders why they cannot spend
Their time to purpose better
And try to play the cheerful end -
By working their forgotten.
But he who works a patient way
That calls for constant striving -.
Don't worry though the gossips say
That he is not arriving.
It's little that they know about
His purpose strong and steady,
And when they count him down and out
For honors he Is ready.
The moral Of this bit of rot
You get II In a hurry
Is, those who keep the iron hot
Need not for gossips worry.
For people would and always will
Whose lives are dull, blank spaces,
With only time on hand to kill,
Be busy with their faces.
