OUR FIRST PATRIOT.

Behold the greatest of our patriots, the most un-
selfish of national guardians, the most benevo-
lent OF our miGonaires-J. Pierpont Morgan!
He has been generous contributor to the cam
paign fund. But he never gave cent with any
hope expectation Of reward.
He did it because he loved his country even bet
ter than himself
Mr. Morgan, under oath and sensible of the
solemnlty of the occason confessed that Charles E.
Russell, the magazine writer and Socialist candi-
date for governor of New York. told the truth when
ne charged that Morgan had contributed $4,000
to Roosevelt s campaign fund in 1904 But Mr.
Morgan Indignantly denied that when he contri-
buted he swore
Mr.. Morgan is Christian gentleman.
He is not man to curse or give money to carry
elections with any intent other than saving his
country from the perils Of iconsidered legislation
or radical agitation. 49,, .*. A.: =
Mr.. Morgan is "non-partsan.'' d
1t makes no difference to him what party he
supports. Party tags mean nothing to him. All
that ne asks-al that he demands-is that the party
to which he contributes shall be working for the
good of the people. '>.''

FREE FROM FORGERY.

Golfers charge that the Standard Oil letters are
forgeries because the fac-simile reproductions show
that they were typewriter with a style of type
which was not in use at the time the letters were
Dated falls to the ground with the explanation that
it was necessary to rewrite of them to obtain
Photographic reproduction.
We may be sure that the letters are not for
geries. If they were, the men involved would not
have waited for Golfers to denounce them as
fraudulent.
The Standard OIL letters have been embarrassing
to many OF our statesmen. In giving them publici-
ty, Mr. Hearst has rendered distinct service to the
American people, revealing, as they do the sordid
story of government for plutocracy.
The letter of Representative Silbey to Archbold,
in which Roosevelt is shown to have expressed q
desire to have luncheon with the Standard Oil man
and talk matters over with him, discloses, as the
other letters disclose, the connection between poll
tics and business Silbey wrote:
The president "dehghted" to know that he
had been misled as to the attitude of the S. O. Co..
or rather, "delighted to know that the report was
untrue. think you put in very profitable hour
over here. I know who told him, but 1 cannot re-
peat It, He urged strongly that and
meet him, and said he wanted you at luncheon where
he could have quiet talk with you / cannot solve
the motives OF the who put him on the wrong
track, but he was there and told the story far
tell him" ~ ~ ''' '0D
The Archbold letter is suggestive of Roosevelt $
letter to Hartman in which he invited Hartman to
visit him. with the suggestion that he might desire
to conceal his identity, and discuss the presidential
message, in connection with the raising Of addition
al money for the Republican campaign fund
When even the men who in public were threat
enng the malefactors of great wealth with the pen-
tertiary were dining with them in private, we may
understand clearly the force of economic DOW
er in political life.

BOOSTS AND SLAMS ~
ON CURRENT EVENTS
CAMPAIGN CHARGES.


THE campaign charges being made
L this year are a disgrace. Liar,
forger, thief, are almost as common
charges as that old time one, belong
ing to the other party" And If 1t
doesn't disgust the American people
1t will be a disgrace to the national
manhood.
It is to be noticed-and it is the
one bright spot in it all-that the
charges and mud singing and name
calling are confined to the factions
of the Republican party, considering
the new Progressive element as one
Of the G. o. P factions.
These charges made by one faction
Of that party against another, by one
set Of personalities against another;
this personal bitterness that is bring
ing down Republican idols about the
feet of the worshippers, is to put it
mildly, illuminating They shed a
great light upon past party history,
upon what has been going on behind
the closed doors of committee rooms,
the screens of political executive
headquarters.
In the illumination of Republican
methods and PRACTICES; of the men
who have led and managed that
party. the people may see their way
to the freedom they now realize was
under that party a mere blind, a.
mere catchword. They can see in
strong color their trusted friends, the
men to whom they gave their trust
and the power of governmental sight
for the gods!
And they may see in the light the
way to their freedom. Under it's new
leadership. free Of such name CALL
|1ngs and disgraceful tradinss the
democratic party stands out strong
~ as the hope of the nation. The
people are not blind.

DELIVERED THE GOODS

Theodore Roosevelt is either very childish i'm.
practical politician he is personally dishonest
and untruthful in marvellous degree Of him it is
impossible to believe the first thing and it is pain
full to believe the other.
In his testimony before the senate investigating
committee, Colonel Roosevelt again stated that the
$4,000 fund raised by E. H. Hartman, as we'll as
his conference with Hartman, had to do with the
New York state campaign; repeated that he had
UNDERSTOOD that the Standard Oil gift of $780,
600 had been returned, and declared that not until
the day before did he learn that j. P Morgan.
George Gould and others had each contributed
100000 to his 1904 campaign.
Theodore Roosevelt has been in 'practical poll
tics'' all his life He is an uncommony wide awake
man. He generally knows what is being said and
what is being done in his own circle In 1904 he
was the head of the Republican party in the nation
and it's candidate for president. That campaipn
was his campaign The national committee was his
. campaign committee
He had dictated the selection of Cortelvou "a
national chairman and he in position not onlv
to find out what the committee was doing, but to
tell it what to do and what not to do Finally and
above ALL his very temperament made it impossible
for him not to keep track of what was going on
inside the machine, Hence the idea of his being
ignorant at the time of contributions of such
large sums as 100000 by such men as j. P. MORGAN
and George Gould is uncomfortable. It is impossi-
y ble Theodore Roosevelt is not built that way.
The trusts which contributed to the Roosevelt

OCTOBER.

HESE beautiful October days
make one long for the woods
and the sunny fields. Every hour
that can be spent In the open is a
clear gain. Dame Nature is giving
10 the pleasure Of these days in ad-
vance Of the cold, cheerless ones that
Will come later.
Those who live far enough from
the city streets and crowded homes
to know wood where nut trees
grow should be Joyous now. Harvests
are gathered and seeds stored away.
Birds and animals are busy laying up
their winter stores. Migrating birds
gather In groups and talk over their
prosp ective Journeys to warmer
climes. They know colder days are
on the way. It is marvellous to think
OF the distances these frail bits of
life travel and find their way back
IN the spring. Some ducks travel
from Arctic circles to the Gulf of
Mexico and return, If they are spared
by the hunters gun. And the hunt
ers are eagerly preparing for the
slaughter. Would it were for food
only. 1t seems a cruel thing to quench
the life Of helpless qlittle bird, but
probably II the instinct to fight and
Kill were entirely eliminated from
human nature, it would be but a.
weakling that was left.
But now, in these glorious days.
forget all about killing and think of
the rtpened fullness of life and of
the JOY Of having come to the harvest
time.
Enjoy the autumn-for falling
leaves give hints Of winters coming.

"FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD"

7 P. MORGAN gave $4,000 to
- the Republican campaign fund
of 1904 for the public good"
Others gave large sums to that
campaign Hartman, Archbold, Gould,
Prick and others interested in steel,
oil. and other kinds of business-all
Tor the public good.'
And OF course when those sums
were given there was no thought on
the part of the donors of the influ-
ence governmental policies or acts
might have on the profits of the in
terests represented by them. There
was no thought of the effect the tar
III on steel would have on the hold
1nss these men had in the steel trust:
no thought of what an efficient en-
forcement of the antitrust laws would
nave on their big combinations; no
thought Of possible anti-rebate laws-
the Hartman letters show that.
II was all for the public good
Just as was that act of the Roose-
welt administration when through it's
secretary Of the telvou
the Republican chairman who handled
those sums-turned over to the New
ork banks interest free, huge sums
'of government money to stop the pan-
ic Of 1907-which government money

rates. For the public good" of
course.

THE CHAIN.

Men have outgrown the worthless
creed
Which babe them deem it Gods
good will
That Labor sweat and starve to fill
And glut the purse of idle greed.
They have outgrown the poor content
That breeds oppression. Forged by
pain
Mind links to blind in one great
chain
OF protest and of argument.
And by the hand Of progress hurled,
This mighty chain of human
thought,
In silence and In anguish wrought,
Encompasses the pulsing world.
And he who will not form link
OF new conditions, soon to be,
Ere long must stand aghast, and see
Old systems topping down the brink.
The purport of the hour is vast,
The world wants justice. 1t demands
United hearts, united hands
The day Of charity is past.
Let no man think he can despoil
And rob his kind by trick and fraud.
And at last make peace with God
BY tossing aims to honest toll.
More labor for the selfish few,
More leisure for the burdened mass;
These things shall surely come to
pass
AS old conditions change to new.
They change through strain, and
strike and strife,
The worst but speaks the final best,
Work for all mentor all men rest,
And time to taste the JOY Of life.

TELeCRAPHED
 THE RESULTS
OFFICIAL RETURNS OF ELECTION
 ARE WIRED TO JUNEAU.

For the first time in the recollection of anyone the official returns from an election were telegraphed this week to canvassing board. This occurred in the ease of the voting at Kian1 which were wired to Juneau as the time allowed by law had almost eX- pired. According to the law governing the legislature election in Alaska the votes were to be canvassed at the same time as the votes for delegate. This time such a thing was impossi- . ble as an adherence to the rule woulf mean that the day for canvassing the votes came before the day of voting.
 The law also says. however. that such canvassing must be done within six weeks after the election and as that time would have expired before the result of the Kiana vote could be received in Juneau by mail the vote was telegraphed by Captain Sundback. clerk of the court.
 The vote from Kiana, by the way.

 The native women from Diomede islands carry one wide stroke in the center of the chin and two thin ones on each side.
 The King island women have one heavy central line and one thin one on each side.
 St. Lawrence island women have lines on cheeks and chin, and the Cape Prince of Wales ladies have seven lines to the chin.
 These marks are tatooed on them when they reach the age of ten.
