That is his business But where iS the use of all this cheap clap-trap about rejecting money made by a New York business man? Why can't he say he would like to have the money but fears he would lose votes by accepting it? Will he say that isn't the fact? And if he does. will he cx- plain in what particular MT Ryan's money is not SD good as AIr. Car negio's?
 Somebody may deny that Mr. Will son asked for this Carnegie pension. But the fact happens to be matter of official record. Mir Wilson's clos est friends are compelled to admit the fact and for the past several weeks they have been trying to explain it away.
 This Wilson tommyrot is both tire some and diShcarteunS. If some man of fair ability will just come out and tell the truth about his motives he ought to be made president for at least dozen years and his salary should be doubled throughout his in Cumbcncy.

 And how the votes are rolling in fGr the contestants who are working for the big prizes. The contestants are certainly vote-getters. They are not only popular but are workers as well. Tine count today indicates that they have been letting the fact be known that they are in the con test to win.
 \ vcritablc avalanche of ballots swept into the ballot box since the last count of votes at 8 D. m. Sat urday February 3rd Emerging from the fourth position in District No. Chas F. Ingalls, goes into the lead by a margin of 219l votes. The vote score of Mr. Ingalls, not only places him in tn" lead in his dis trict but in the topnotcher's position ir the entire contest which means the winning of the Mitchell Touring Car to the fortunate contestant who holds the lead at the close of the contest on March Q

 ject of Judge Hooks probable eIcya- tion to the supreme bench by Prcsi- dent Taft IL has taken this course ror what appears to this paper to be d y,rg good reason-it is not familiar with jhe record and qualifications of tile judge IL would be easy to rush into print with stormy insistence that th, judge is eminentIy qualified for the position: and it would be equally easy to enter a vociferous protest against his appointment. But what would be gained by either coarse:
 Tine constitution gives the presi- dent power 'by and with the advice and consent of the senate" to sp- point federal judges. This power never has been abused 1y President Taft and The Republican feels quite certain 1t never will Toe. No president has ever been more careful i'm making these appointments and. ir the critics or President Taft cared to tell the truth about it. they would say no president has ever made wiser selcc- tfons.
 IL has been charged that the prcsi- dent contemplateS. the appointment Of Judge Hook as a favor to the corpor- ations. but mo man with a spark of mental honesty in his makeup be EeveS that The man who. without any proof whatever. makes a charge such as that against a high minded and honorable citizen is simply be- heath contempt No self respecting man. unless armed with absolute proof would make that charge. It is a little difficult to classify the per son who in the hope of securing popular applause and. probably. with the hope of making few dollars out of the greasy transaction. would thus attempt to assassinate the character of a public official
 The objection to Judge Hook is based on decision rendered by him in a railroad rate case. In that case the law provided for a two-ccnt pas sengcr rate. The judge held the rate coufscatory and declared the law un- constitutional
 The issue is one of fact.

 It is true. however that Attorney General Wickersham investigated the objections to Judge Hook and report ed that they were utterly baselcss.
