Politicians CoStIier
In Pennsylvania.

The price Of politicians in Penn
sylvania is probably higher than
in any other place in the world,
and the politician without prize
is scarcer in Pennsylvania than in
any other place in the world.
Quay was typical of these de
bauched conditions and politically
responsible for them; but the
trusts were responsible for Quay.
They needed that kind of an I'M
scrupulous politician, and Quay
was willing to prove himself on
every occasion the kind Of I'M

In view Of the disgraceful dis

power and money and all OF
Quay S political shrewdness were
not enough to bring about the re.
election of Quay to the United

failed to elect Quay and adj
journed without being allowed to
elect anyone else Thereupon
Governor Stone, who. owed his
office to Quay and who was
known as a machine puppet and
Standard Oil tool, promptly
appointed Quay to fill the va
cancy

After Governor Stone had full
filed some part of his obligations
to the Standard Oil by appointing
Quay in defiance of the popular
protest, the scene of battle shifted
to Washington. The Federal Con
shtution thoughtfully provided
that senators should be selected
by legislatures of the states when
those legislatures We're in session
and the United States senate had
held that the governor had nc
right to appoint a man when the

I will know of tomorrow morn

glad to aid continuously in any

Quay was not the only Penn
sylvania political leader, not the
only Pennsylvania United States
senator, not the only political
agent of the trusts mixed up in
these questionable banking trans
actions and in the general politi-
cal corruption Of the state In
1895 "A law was introduced in the
Pennsylvania Legislature requir-
ing banks having state deposits
to pay interest The bill was re-
ferred to the finance committee,
which included Boies Penrose and
w II Andrews, known as Bull >

a brother of w r. Andrews, who
was Penrose S private secretary,
and was also at one time "A mem

Remember all of, these gentle
men, for in the Standard Oil let
tiers we shall meet them again.
Penrose had at this time been
with Quay for over eleven years,
serving faithfully the machine and
the trusts, which supplied the ma
chine with fuel
Already we see he was on the
finance committee of the legisla-
tue training for his present place
as chairman of the finance COM
mittee of the United States senate,
which carried with it the party
leadership.
1t is hardly necessary to say
that the bill requiring the banks
to pay interest on state funds was
never heard from after it reached
that Penrose committee. The state
money continued to be loaned to
banks that would lend it out
again TO politicians
Quay continued to demand and
receive subsidies from the Stand

but his vacation gave him no re-

New Standard Oil Letters and Their Lessons

The Standard Oil letters
published in H E A r S T S
MAGAZINE have followed
the trail of debauchery of
public servants t h rou G h

Senator Hanna was the chief
beneficiary, in to Pennsyl-
vania, showing there the

through the betrayal of the
people who put them in of

Hanna is dead. Quay is
dead. Sibley is in the same
condition politically, having
been driven out of the race
for reelection by these same
Standard Oil letters, and
having been indicted on a
charge of bribing voters.

EXRUME BODY OF
CHARLES MORROW
ACCUSED WIDOWS ATTORNEYS
GET COURT TO ISSUE
ORDER.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Interesting devel-
opments were promised in the inves-
tigation of the death OF Charles b.
Morrow, the inventor, who was found
shot to death on the porch of his
Michigan avenue home.
On an order by Circuit Judge George
Kersten, the body is to be exhumed
and a new autopsy held at Rose Hill
cemetery. The court order was at the
request of counsel for Mrs. Morrow,
who has been accused by the police
of firing the shots which caused her
husbands death.
Morrow was found, shot TO death,
on the rear porch OF his home. Mrs.
Morrow said she heard shots, but had
feared her husband would end his life
because he had threatened to do so.
She said she had not seen him since
the night before.
Neighbors, however, told the police
Morrow and his wife had frequently
~quarrelled. "A maid in an AFFIDAVIT
said the Morrows' domestic life had
been unpleasant; that Morrow was
made to remain in one room and had
nc key to the house, which with other
property, belonged to Mrs. Morrow by
reason OF a pre-nuptial agreement be-
tween the ~52-year-old inventor and
his wife, 80 years old; that Mrs. Nor
row and a roomer at the place had
been on intimate terms.
