DISCOVERED AT LASTl

Of all its activities through a series
Of years. There are some very inter
esting things in the correspondence,
as there always is in such collec-
tons. There is nothing like an old
letter file bearing upon matters new
ly come into dispute or some other
notice. The stolen Archbold. which
Hearst received and paid for, letters
were nuggets of interest to the curl
GUS public and stones of torture to
numerous statesmen, both active and
retired. The Palmer letters are al
most as good. Look what has al
ready come out of them. There is
the record for the engagement to the
service o. the sugar interests of Old
Doc Wiley. He was to deliver a Sc
ries Of lectures in the interest of SUI
gar, just as Senator Lodge loaned his
mailing frank for the propaganda,
though the doc was to be paid for
his part by the sugar people and
Senator Lodges generosity put the
cost on the people of the United
States. We shall have to learn what
Doc Wiley was to say before we can
determine whether or not he was
within hailing distance of his rights.
Maybe he was only going to tell the
people they ought to use sugar and
cschew glucose. That would have
helped the sugar trust some, though
they probably would have expected
more than that. Let us hear from
Doc Wiley. He is a ready hand at
public statements. Then, there is
the statement in one of the letters
that the campaign book of the Re
publican party was to carry nice
argument in favor OF tariff on SUI
gar depicting the ruin that would
come to a great industry If sugar
were put on the free list I'VE arc
in touch with those who are prepar-
ing the Republican campaign book
and the sugar question will be hand
led subject to our approval" That Is
an interesting tale. Who prepared
the campaign book, and was sugar
handled to the approval CT the inter
csts, Let us hope SO, at any rate,
and that the best argument tina
could be made for tfem was put out
by the Republicans in their campaign
book and pressed upon every stump
in the land. The people rejected all
the representations of the Republi-
cans, and if these included the su-
gar interests own arguments there
ought to be nothing more to say for
the cause. There was some anxiety
about Taft's ability to carry certain
states. which had interests in sugar
and it was suggested that ''if we
can't head him off, we might be able
to get promise relative to the sugar
and tobacco interests They seem
to have been hunting in couples, The.
reference to Mr.. Taft is not very
clear. Was he the man they were
trying to head off, or was it one OF
his rivals? If the latter, which of
the two was it? Here is fine field
for exploration.

be called in to tell what they know
