Why Quay Was For T. r.

OF course the Colonel knew better
when he took his pen IN hand and wrote
as contributing editor:
In 1890 | was nominated for Vice
President against the wish of the most
powerful politicians who then had con-
troll Of the Republican party because Of a
popular demand too inSistent to be de-
Med"
The part that Boss Plat had and his
motives, in causing Governor Roosevelt
to be nominated for Vice-PreSident at
Philadelphia, in 1900, are well known,
but Boss Quay's share in the business
is not so well known. Representative
Samuel W.; Mccall, of Massachusetts,
a clear headed and competent witness,
told the story SO recently that the Col
onel could not have forgotten it.
1t is true, as he intimates, that Senator
Mark Hanna had another candidate for
Vice President. 1t was Representative
John d. Long, of Massachusetts. The
three most powerful Republicans at the
Philadelphia Convention were Hanna,
QUAY and Platt Mr. Mccall who at
tended the convention, says that Quay
got his Pennsylvania delegation to-
gether very early and declared for the
nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt, who was
then Governor of New York, and whose
nomination was also favored by Mr.
Plat for certain reasons. -. Mark Hanna
might have prevailed against either Plat
or Ouav alone, but he could not make
much Roadway against these two bosses
when combined for a common purpose.
The explanation of the league of Quay
and Plat was that Quay desired TO retail
late upon Hanna for dcpriving him OF a
seat in the Senate. If Mr.. Hanna had
voted in favor of him instead of against
him, says Representative Mccall, the
seat would have been given to Quay"
that is to saw, Hanna cast the deciding
vote on the floor of the Senate. 1t was
bad form among the bosses. and Mat
thew Stanley Quay was not of torgiving
character. Commenting upon the feud
to which Mr.. Roosevelt owed his nom-
nation for NiCe-President in 1900 Mr..
Mccall says:
Thus it is easy to see how compar-
atively unimportant act like a vote upon
a contested election case may profoundly
effect the destiny of nation"
Boss Plat created the demand for
Theodore Roosevelt and Boss Quay
stimulated it powerfully by contributing
the Pennsylvania delegation. The Col
onel had two bosses out of three on his
side. He was always grateful to the
bosses who checkmated Hanna and
won the game for him; and to gratitude
he added admiration and intimacy in the
case of QUAY. As the Boss Paramount
Inc Colonel ultimately brought Hanna

How Animals Feed,

When one thinks of the many curl
GUS ways in which common animals
partake of their food, one realizes
more than ever the vast difference
there is between classes in The crea-
ture kingdom.
For instance, the squirrel carries its
food to its mouth by means of its
paws, while the elephant uses its
trunk. The giraffe. ant-eater and toad
employ their tongues. but spiders mas
ticate their food with horny jaws.
The caterpillar is provided with saw
edged jaws, and uses them so well
that every day he consumes at least
three times his own weight in food.
Toads, turtles and tortoises do not pos
sess teeth.
Frogs have only an upper row Of
teeth, and Holsters and crabs have a
set of teeth in their stomacbs. The
tiger and the lion do not grind their
food as we humans do; as a matter
Of fact, their teeth only work with
an up-and-down movement much like
chopping knives.-Everyday Life.

A Satisfactory Englishman

An English veteran Of the Boer war
was begging in ST. Joseph, Mo. He had
been badly used in the war Both legs
and an arm We're gone, his nose was
broken and twisted, a part of one ear had
been shot away and most of his teeth had
disappeared.
An Irishman came along the street,
looked at the beggar a moment, and,
throwing him dime, walked on. Half
Wav down the block the lrishman stop
ped, looking back at the beggar. After
a moments hesitation he retraced his
steps and gave the beggar quarter, al
ter which he went ON his way for block.
Once again he retraced his steps to the
beggar and this time he emptied all his
small change into the beggar'S hat
81 do not like to seem ungraclouS,
said the beggar, but will you tell me
why you have given me SO much money!"
Sure, and you're the first Englishman
ever saw" answered the lrlshman,
that's trimmed up just to suit me. y

Kit Carsons Daughter.

Mrs. W. 7. Mills, who was Miss Annie
Wilson, when she taught the first public
school in Westport, Kansas, told how
Kit Carson, the famous scout and
frontiersman, brought his daughter.
Aerasena Carson, to her school to be
educated.
at was the first time that | had ever
seen Kit Carson, although had heard
a great deal about him, " she said. "He
came into my school house one day lead
ing the little girl by the hand. Her
mother was an Indian, and she was born
away out West. She was pretty little
girl, but she could not speak a word of
English, and she was as shy as a prairie
chicken. She wore a buckskin dress,
gayly trimmed with colored beads and
Kit CaIson himself was tastefuly dressed
in mocasins' and buckskn suit and fur
cap. He had brought his daughter on
horseback across the plains to be edu-
Gated, and he told me that he wanted her
to be a grand lady. and he left bag of
Mexican silver dollars on my desk.

a little, and then he came again and took
her away. "-KanSaS city Times.

EXPRESS COMPANIES A Nd
PARCELS POST.

( A notable service has been rendered
( bv the Interstate Commerce Commits
/ sion, in investigating express charges
/ and methods. The express companies
monopoly OF parcel tranSport-a mo-
! nopoiy conceded to them by the post
office on the one side and the railroads
/ on the other-has long amounted to a
| scandal
| The express companies have grown
| into tremendous financial powers. A
railroad and financial king, recently very
active in forming new alliances to finance
his huge projects. startled the entire
country by manipulating himself into
domination Of one of the great express
companies, and using its vast surplus as
he might have employed the reserves of
| an insurance company or a bank. The
| express companies are much more con-
| Cerned with financial than with transport
tation operations. They give the coun
try the poorest and most expensive par
Gel transport that is provided in any
country OF comparable conditions.
Over charges and double charges have
been common. The tariffs are SO numer-
GUS and complex that only an expert can
know what they mean. Profits have
been vast beyond reason or belief.
Commissioner Lane, who has managed
the investigation, proposes a simplifca-
ton OF tariffs and reduction of rates, es-
peclaIIy on smaller parcels. The highest
rates have been on small parcels because
at this point the express companies were
best entrcnched in their monopoly; they
could take all that the traffic would bear.
But after all, the utmost authority of
the Interstate Commission will not
meet the eXigency. This country should
have a parcels post, or more properly
speaking, a postal express. The rural
free delivery and collection facilities of
the postoffice, the city delivery and the
collection service and the railway ex-
press facilities, should be articulated
together in one complete. symmetrical.
economical system.
This plan alone will provide the real
scope that IS needed, if cheaper trans
port OF small parcels is to reduce the
living costs. The farmer in Germany
sends a few pounds of butter, few
dozen eggs. and a hamper of fresh veg
etables, by post, direct from his farm to
his regular customer in the city; fire.
quenty $50 miles. This would yet be
practical impossibiltv, as to the most of
our American farmers or to most of our
American city residents, despite the re-
forms that Commissioner Lane pro-
poses. There are three links in the
chain from the farm to the city consumer;
the express companies supply only one.
The parcels express plan of Congress
man Lewis, Of Maryland, stands out
more clearly than ever, as the only pro-
ject that will make the service most
useful to the whole public Washington
Times.

hearty support to the movement which
has been started by the introduction OF a
bill in Congress by Congressman J. Chas.
Lincoln for $4,000 to erect a monument

one that will allow the statue to be plain

THE PLAN OF THE CAM
PAIGN AND THE ISSUES
OF THE TAFT REPUB-
LICANS.

The plan Of campaign and the issues
upon which the TAFT followers will adopt
has been very clearly indicated by their
platform and the leading Republican
Taft newspapers.
Suffice it IS to say that there is nothing
strange or new to be presented to the
voters to induce them to vote for or
elect Mr.. Taft again to the Presidency.
The same old deceptive and dema-
gougic campaign will be urged again,
in the hope Of foolng voters to their own
detriment and disaster.
1t may be that it will be carried out
TO the same extent that it was in eigh-
teen hundred and ninety-three, when all
of the protected interests-the manu-
facturers. the railroads and The trusts
combined to shut down everything and
thus stopped work, so that millions
were thrown out of work and all lines
Of business were still and stagnant.
This was done so that there should
not be any reduction IN the eXtortlonate
high tariff rates under the Mckinley Tar
itt Bill, and Of course, this combination
of the privileged and protected classes.
brought on a great business depression.
The Tariff Bill, which was passed by
the Democrats in eighteen hundred and
ninety-three only reduced the Mckinley
Tariff Bill by about three and one-half
per cent, by reason of the treason to
that party o. four Democrats, or nom.
inal Democrats, then in the United
States Senate.
This reduction was not enough to
make the slightest difference to the bus
mess interests of the country and only
curtailed in very slight degree, the
enormous profits of the special interests,
but rather than abate this slight reduc-
ton Of their enormous profits, they were

FOR ME AND REVENGE.

The final refusal Of Governor Deenen,
of Illinois, TO take up with the Roosevelt
party adds another distinguished name
to the list of deserters.
Governor Hadley, of Missouri. Gov

of Iowa, and Ormsby McHarg have
already announced their intention of
remaining in the Republican organiza
ton. Governor Stubs, of Kansas.
Governor Aldrich, of Nebraska, and
others, while still loyal to Roosevelt,
yet they also adhere to their party.
Most of the enthusiastic thrd-termers are
those who have nothing to lose by the
diversion.

willing, and did plunge the country into
a sea of depression to the great injury
and oppression of the great body OF the
people. This shows to what length and
depth of robbery of the people the
special interests will go in order to pro-
tect the source Of their i'll gotten gains
that they reap from the high protective
tariff.
They will again try to delude the PEG.
pie by the old and worn out cry that
the great business interests are to be de-
s,royed by the Democratic party and
free trade.
In the face of these facts this viii
hardly delude the people this time. The
Democratic tariff plank clearly defines
its doctrine on the tariff to be for tariff
for revenue only, and all Of the trust
made articles on the free list, and all
articles manufactured it this country and
sold abroad cheaper than they are sold
to our people at home should be on the
free list Who will or can say that il is
not absolutely honest and fair to all Of
the people, Who will or can say that
the Republican high protective tariff is
either fair or honest to the people,
The people-or a majority OF the peo-
pie, cannot be fooled again by any such
dishonest and deceptive campaign.
The people well remember that Mr.
Blaine condemned the Mckinley Bill
and that Mr. Mckinley in nis last speech
before his death in Buffalo, New York,
,old the people that the tariff system
would have to be modified, and said
that we could no longer sell all and buy
none. This old delusion which has so
long blinded the eyes of the people, will
+ no longer avail in the light of the fact
that millions of people cannot buy
enough Of the plain necessaries of life
( because Of the high protective tariff and
its creature the trusts. have made the
costs Of the uecessaries of life so high.
that the mass OF the people have not
the money to pay as much as they need,
either of food or of clothes. The gin
gerry tariff plank Of the Republican plat
form promising a reduction Of the tariff
will not deceive the people for they re-
member. and only too well, what the
Republicans did under the platform of
| four years ago, when not only the plat
form, but also Mr. Taft in his speeches
promised a reduction in the tariff seized
ules, and that instead of a reduction they
gave to the people the PayneAldrich-
Smoot Tariff Bill, and President Taft
signed it, and then said that it was the
best Tariff Bill that was ever passed by
Congress, and then apologized for that
speech by saying that he wrote it be-
tween two stations
Perhaps he meant the station of the
protected interests, and the station of the
poor and unfortunate consumer.
The consumer will decide this election
IN November, and they will say that Mr..
Taft and his wing OF the Republican
party has been weighed and found want
ing and so may ii be.

Third street on Sunday last, were in a
deplorable condition. and particularly
the south corner of Second street and
