II ?s recorded of a prominent Eu ropean banker who had to select a 3ian for some delicate and- import?ui ' anisston to this country that he test ed several before he found the right aian. The test was as to promptitude and- readiness. ' Most of them want ed > several days' preparation before they could N-sail, but one man 'was ready to go at once and he was the zaan selected, ana be became a lead ?Sag financier in this country; Lb the opinion of many what a de praved creature is the poor man who -to satisfy his hunger or that of Ids family steals a fowl or a ham. .For- Mm the prison doors open wide. AsA in the opinion ot many what a brilliant financial genius is the bank president, railroad director, anu trust official who filches vast sums J from the people to make for himseif an immense fortune. With such ,r..^3?eop]e-?:crlm.e^3s graded and -as it B?j reaches upward it gradually dimin ?j ''fishes until, \lt "cease? tobe. Henry L. Stimson, the Republican ?candidate for governor of New York, owaa up to being a corporation? itrust lawyer^ and is proud of being a ; 2PSJrtner of Senator'Root, He als? .acknowledges that be has been paid ? $59*000 by the government for part ?of his time during the last year and j a half on the Sugar TruBt and Morse cases; and declares that "much more would.have been asked from a pi-i rate client for the same work." - His clients must be malefactors of great I wealth or they never could stand his charges. Jacob,- S. . Coxey,, .of "Cbxey at-, my" fame, says: /'Roosevelt is p. pop ulist and is simply stealing most of the. v thunderbolts that some of us have been hammering at. for the last 25 .years. If the. American people were..thinkers, they would realize how ridiculous are the claims he is making, on, conservation. Why, he only tried conservation after every thing, wprth conserving had been I ?tolon. or given away. Those who are called progressives today, have the same program that the populists ' 3uid 16 years ago." l The majority of nearly 5,000,000 people of New York , city is crowded Into small tenements, in many cases of but.one room for a r'amiiy, ana yet there is all out doors in the ? shape of country life beckoning to it to come out into the fresh air, bright sunshine and bless-ngs innum erable. Yet so strange la the work ing tendency of human life that mil lions prefer to crowd, stifle, and scrimp in a congested city than have real life and comfort on the land, and that makes a stiff problem for sociologists to grapple w' th. That eminent Democrat', Woodrow Waleon, is stirring up things in New Jersey and will, unless , all signs fail, be elected governor. In one of his speeches he coined a new phrase to express the plundering of tho Trusts and the escape of the Trust Barons from the net of the law. He calls It 'corporation joy ..riding", and believes that the fault ^-is not with the automobiles or with the;corporations, "but with the men who run them. Dr. Wilson would punish the joy riders, while the Roosevelt plan has been to fine the automobile. The :Augusta Chronicle Bays "It seems quite likely that f.he Republi can party will be saved, if saved at all, thiB fall by those who deserted the organization on different occa sions during the last session of con gress. The s. o. p. has a faculty not possessed by the Democrats?that or presenting a solid front after split ting up and fighting terrifically among themselves. Had it not beoa for the Insurgent move:nen* within ?the Republican party, by which the lavor of sections inclined to the "pro gressive" school of politics, was re tained tho Democrats would make -an easy sweep of the country next November." ...

The - .Manning Times saya, therei is, .opposition to;,, every district to the.Democratic nominees for congress, that which has not bean, made known yet, will be made pub jic within the aaxt few .days, hence, it is necessary for every vote to be cast in order that the committee which will have the investigation of con tests which are sure to go up to Washington, .will hare, something tangible to render their decision up on when they decline to seat the contestant who happens to, belong to the party the. majority of the com mittee ia composed of.

This la all .true, and we hope our people will heed it.., Let every man who is qualified to. do so, go to the polls and cast his vote on Tuesday, November s. , M. v The Thieves Own. The Philadelphia North American, independent Republican, calls the Republican candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania a crook-and swindler who has been fully exposed. It seems to be undeniable and undenied that John G. .Tener was president , and a director of the National Public Utili ties Corporation, a-swlndling concern recently broken up by-^stal-detec tlves. Two million. doHjtrj&p'f abso: lately fraudulent stock;'wati.-isaued, Tener receiving $50,000 of this stock as well as $5,000 in cash for salary. He stands morally naked before the people of the State, yet no one doubts that he will be elected Gov ernor. For this result there would be, in fact, the most abundant precedent, , says the .Charlotte Observer. Did not the late Matthew Stanley Quay openly plunder the State for'm.aay years, all his political power barely enabling him to escape the peniten tiary, and go back to the Senate each , time, as if nothing had taken place? Have not "political banks" been a notorious graft for. Quay's lieuten ants?often with complete disaster to the depositors?as much after, as they were before his death? Are , not the almost inconceivable scan dals in connection with the State Capitol of recent dato? Philadelphia Is .under , regular tri bute to a corrupt city machine, co operating with the State gang and Pittsburg is just now endeavoring , to throw off a domination so utter ly greedy and corrupt that it had become, at last intolerable. And yet Pennsylvania, Including Philadelphia and Pittsburg, not only lets the plunderers regularly name the Re publican candidates but as regularly , ratifies their choice at the polls. Therefore, it would seem that Tener is the very man they are looking for. The State seems to be In the hands of a set of brigands who would not tolerate an honest man in office, as he might interfere with their plans . of plundering the State treasury. : The Next State. The Lake City News says Alaska will be the next State to be added to the Union. She now has several thousand more inhabitants than ? many of the States when they were admitted. She was admitted as a territory in 1884 and her develop ment has been marvelous and will be much more within the next de cade. .She would make 470 Rhode Islands, 14 New Yorks; has half as much coal as the United States; has , more copper than Arizona or Michi gan; has more gold than California; has the richest fisheries in the world and immense marble quarries. (Her agricultural possibilities are wonderful. A farmer at Fairbanks, about 100 miles from the Arctic cir cle made 18 tons of potatoes on three acres, 7 1-2 tons of carrots on two 1 acres, beside barley, cabbage and other vegetables. Another farmer had 120 acres in wheat, hay, pota toes, watermelons, cantaloupes, 'c matoes, squash and corn. The sum mers are short but the days are so long the sunshine ripens everything j rapidly. There are ten million peo ple in northern Russia and Alaska is a better farming country. The winters are as cold as Scotland or Norway, but it is a dry cold which all travelers agree is not nearly so severe as a New York or Boston winter. Alaska has 5,000 miles of navigable rivers.
