To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Will you kindly allow me sufficient

a few remarks in regards our Honorable

and a well-to-do citizen, who holds a
responsible position at the Capitol
and who brought suit against the driver
for running down his aged mother in

stepped out off the curb mot. at the
crosstng) came up in court. The case
was tried, witnesses heard and in about
ten minutes the jury came in with a
verdict, clearing the defendant and put
ting the entire costs of the suit on the
prosecutor. Up to this date not one
of the witnesses has received a cent of
their witness money, notwithstanding
thev have frequently called. The prose-
cutor is worth considerable money, and
should he made pay. The District At
torney should see to II that the bill is
paid. and we await an explanation why
such has not been done. Thanking you
for the space, | am,

NEVER BEFORE?
= ISTEN to this from the columns
of leading Democratic wor-
shipper of Woodrow Wilson:

A President never before made it
so tremendously his business to see
that the pledges made to the peo-
pie should be carried out
Carried ont! How? On a stretcher?
Never before! Not even by Jack
son or Cleveland, Democrats? Not
by Lincoln or GARFIELD, Republicans?
Will any admirer Of Jackson and
Cleveland stand for comparisons as
odious as that? VIII any man loyal
TO the memory of Lincoln second the
sentiment that never before has a
President made it so tremendously
his business to keep his party pledges :?
