la TOILETTE ASKS
ROOSEVELT TO
Be CANDID
And Give Out a Statement OF
His Expenses
A PROGRESSIVE PRINCIPLE
Wisconsin Senator Says That Col.
Roosevelt Should Take Public
Into His Confidence

Madison. Wis, July 5.-United
States Senator Robert M. LaFollette
in printed article today asks Col.
Roosevelt for the second time to pub
fish his expense account, or else "a
candid statement of his reason for
thus spurning one of the basic princi-
pies of public morality and political
decency."
When LaFollette made public
statement of his campaign receipts
during the Ohio primary contest. he
called on Roosevelt to do likewise
There has been no response.
LaFollete says in part:
big business, with big money de-
rived from unfair privileges, is ever
in politics and is ever ready to place
its funds back of a likely winner,
who is either subsevient in thee
sense that a chisel is subservient to
the hand of the carpenter, or service
able to the extent that he is harm
less in performance.
Special privilege puts money into
political campaigns by way of invest
ment. From such investments, it de
mands substantial rewards. 1t is to
protect the public interest from re-
wards such as these, conceived in
twilight and contaminated in secret.
that the people demand publicity OF
campaign contributions.
Theodore Roosevelt entered the
contest for the presidential nomina-
ton as a progressive. He made
strenuous campaign for votes and
noisy scramble for sound delegates
on the ground that he represented
progressive doctrines. In this fight
he had the packing of the Steel
Trust and the Harvester Trust.
Financial giants like Perkins, Hanna
and Munsey contributed to his cause.
His campaign was characterized by a
riotous expenditure of money. Yet
he has made no public accounting He
has not taken the American people in
to his confidence. He has ignored
the progressive principle of publici
ty."

French Burial Customs.

The ancient custom Of depositing
valuables In tombs still prevails In
France. But 1t is not only jewels and
the like that are buried with the dead.
A few years ago it was the custom In
La Vendee to put a polished stone
within reach of the corpse. This was
supposed to guide the dead on his
new journey In the district Of Oman
a piece Of bread was used for the same
purpose. The people OF the Bordeaux
district place in the coffin sprig OF
myrtle blessed at Easter. This Is con-
sidered to insure entry into paradise.
On the borders Of Brittany and Poitou
a little pebble Is placed on the tongue
Of the deceased. Without this 1t is
thought be might plead his cause be
fore the great tribunal with such vol
utility as would insure his condemna-
ton without appeal.-Journal des De-

BASEBALL BUNTS

That the left-handed pitchers work
much better in warm weather is
pointedly demonstrated by the two
games twirled by Ray Collins. the
former Vermont University boNmen
who has been seen on one or two oc-
casions with the Bennington team.
Collins now with the Boston Ameri-
cans, has twice defeated the Athletics
during the present week. Only a
few weeks ago some of the sporting
writer's were predicting that Collins
had seen his day in the big league.
II was also stated that the Boston
management despairing that Collins
would ever return to form, was look
ing for another left handler to :eke
the place OF the big boy from Burling-
ton. Collins, in his two games this
week, pitched remarkable ball. Yes
terday re held Philadelphia to eight
hits and gave but one base on balls.
He struck out three and got one OF
the six hits made by his team. The

of every one else, when almost their

it pleasant for family and friend, The

in making the country what it is to-

Using Waste Steam.

Prom Electric News.
1t has become quite general practice
to utilize every bit Of scrap and waste
about our Observation-Disclosures the annual
dividends would shrink amazingly Not
until very recently did factory owners
understand that one Of the greatest loss
IS about manufacturing plants was is
suing from the exhaust pipe in the en-
CINE room. 1t remained for the steam
turbine engine to demonstrate that there
is almost as much power escaping in the
steam exhausted from the old recipro-
eating engines as they managed TO eX
tract from it At high pressure.
In the plant Of the Indiana Steel and
Wire Company. at Muncir. Ind. two
large steam engines operate a series OF
wire fence and wire nail machinery,
receiving steam at Il pressure Of 1ON
pounds. These engines did not furnish
sufficient power to drive the wire draw
ing machinery, so electric power was
bought for this purpose Then one bright
morning along came an engineer and
took a look at the exhaust pipe. In five
minutes he was interviewing the man
aCer. telling him how foolish he was TO
buy large quantities OF electric power
when more than enough energy was be-
Ing wasted from the exhaust pipe He
reduced this waste to dolars and cents.
and went away with an order for a low
pressure steam turbine in his pocket.
Accordingly. an Se0-horsepower Curtis
turbine was installed. taking steam from
the exhaust at one pound pressure This
turbine now carries the entire motor load

Checkmate to the Pujo Probers.

The testimony given by Mr.. Morgan
before the Pujo committee will not
facilitate the discovery of the lair OF
"the Money Trust" 1t may, however
open the eyes of the public to the
truth that money is an international
commodity, and moves in obedience to
or in sympathy with the law of sup
ply and demand. Mr.. Morgan says
that there cannot be such a thing as
a trust in money, and in so saying he
was doubtless speaking from the point
of view of a banker whose business
and reputation is international.
To one in his position the spectacle
of money moving along the line OF
least resistance, following the chances
of profit. is familiar. If the oppor-
tunitics for investment are better in
the United States than in Great
Britain, money will flow from London
to New York With conditions re-
versed, the direction of the current will
be reversed too. These may be just
truisms to those whose business is in
the money market, but to the average
man i'll the street they are, whenever
stated by witness before a court or
committee, revelations.
The great scale on which modern
business is done-to a large extent
must be done-is the primal cause for
development of big banks and bank
ers. If the Pujo committee has any
end or aim of which it is conscious
it is to arrest, if it cannot reverse
this development by legislation. How
will it deal with a banker like Mr.
Morgan, for instance? Will it under
take to prohibit Morgans? Will il
attempt to separate the links in the
chain that binds the business of New
York, London, Paris, and Berlin in a
community of interests which is based
on a desire for community of stability
Congress can legislate for the United
States, but not for the London, Paris,
Frankfort. Berlin, or Vienna ex-
changes. And that is the rock on which
the Pujo committee will founder.
