P The more they get the more they a ask :or, and it begins to look as C if these dailies expect -the voters d of this State to buy the presi- e denc. What is all of these thousands of dollars for anyway, if it is not a to buv votes? If the Democratic t] part has launched out in the f< vote buying business, it is high ti timc. it stops its hue and cry b agai:st the Republicans for be- p ing :n the same business. We a have. come to the conclusion that i national politics these days [has ti degeerated into a huge graft gan. and both the Democratic and eDublican parties, are em- d ploying the same corrupt prac- h tices. er There is very little principle in G eIth-: party, both cater to any It and J1 kinds of issues to obtain t< votes. and both parties are bend-I t ing tee knee to the very element ti they denounce upon the hust ings-" the mnalefactors of preda- n tory wealth." The Democratic party has been abusing the Stand ard Oil trust, and has been de-e nouncing Rockefeller for all man ner of high crimes and misde meanors and now it seems to be standing in with Rockefeller be cause Rooseyelt has been tri ng to punish the Standard Oil tr ust for the crimes committed againstq the nation. It looks now as if Bry an and Rockefeller are political bed fellows, not because Mr. n Rockefeller is a Democrat, for he b is not, but becarse he wants to punish the party that has been exposing and lashing his busi ness methods. Then too, the iu Democrats, presumbkly the "white j man's party" have, in the closely1 d contested States where the negro a is a factor, been making capital b out of Roosevelt's discharge of s the negro troops for "shooting up .irownsville," and doing all a mant er of things to induce thefb nestro to vote the Democratic d out --frying fat" from every trust lc in ex istence. The-Steel trust is1 n hand and glove with the Repub licans-, and is doing all in its pow er to keep that party in control.g Everyv appeal to sectional preju- I dice That shrewd politicians canc devise is made to keep the mass- <r es from voting the Demcr ti ticket. The mill arnd mine oper- s atives are threatened with disas- jC ter saiould the Democratic party .ir come into power and~all business ai int-ere sts are given to understand k: if th y do not vote the Republi- u can ticket, "the Devil will catch t them sure". Therefore we say I the v:hole business is a "greasy Iu: pig Lame,-the politicians comn-! ing c-ut ahead every time while sc the masses are buncoed. l The present campaign is one of g the m~ost demoralizing we have ti ever known: both parties are b< brazenliy flaunting their intention p to d.:.auch and corrupt the vot- I ers. It is a common thing to see in th: newspapers where a vast amonut of money is needed to! carr ::ertain states in the North tl and Tet, and the candidates of ta both i the great parties are do- n voti' as much attention to beg- l ging :or m~oney as they do to tij ques: uns of party principle and in publ o poicy, and we say such a m coud on and situation is un-I et wort of the two great parties t: in a 'rea~t free country. Ite Bu worse still, we tind a third ti: part going about showing up as the *o*enness of the other two. ai The dependence League, found- p ed by Mr. Hearst has unearthed 9 enour corpor'ation in both the gt Demora'tic and Republican par- is ties to own both of them, and ht cause people to look about for a g place of refuge where they can Itii escape" the leading political Ite parti . W e believe Bryan t and Tft atre both clean is men personally, but Bryan c1 is le" ne~ a hungry host whoc: has i oc ben warting to reach H the lacounter, and to get there at i. illing~ to make an~y nc nd of promise, deal, or impriomise. To get their feet he the trough is their whole aim. or' Taft is Cading a host that has he, vu ai thev pie cuIter so long eoy feel they own it, and, any tempt to remove them is resist all t with all of the force that trL rowd manipulation, money, be ercian, corruption and every col her power can bring on. The th< epublicans have feet and head th< the political trough and it will eli ke little short of a great up- pe -aval to remove them. But all tri e0 same neither party has th ings. th -- -----it. GUBERNATORIAL ASPIRANT. m( Hon. M. L. Smith of Camden, sh cently nominated for the legis- sy ture, in an interview said he sa ould not stand for election to pe Le speakership, but proposed to ha ork on the floor for the passage thi a straight prohibition bill. He pr not in favor of a bill such as ch overnor Ansel advocates,-a C Ic :ohibition bill, with the provis- ca n of permitting such counties ap want to sell liquor, having the se ivilege of voting it in.

C. c. co eatherstone for gubernatorial m( >nors by championing the cause sh ira impractical prohibition he will m , disappointed. It is our judgment that Mr. be eatherstone is the recognized ader of the prohibition forces t this State, and that no other fo .an can take his prestige from Ti im, especially one who has not it aen prominently identified with th ie prohibition movement until pa i1 cause has shown strong signs th E popularity with the masses. M eatherstone has been preaching Cl cohibition in and out of season, co 2d we do %ot believe the advo- B. tes of i .ohibition are going to Ti rop hin to make Mr. Smith gov- to nor. of fo The Socialist party has found of sufficient number of men in to ie State to stand as sponsors D( )r that party and go upon their tri eket as presidential electors, se ut so far Mr. Hearst's Inde- m, endence League has been un- th ble to find nine men who are nt illing to be placed on the st cket. he sb Prohibition presidential candi- p, ate Eugene W.

Occasionally, how ever, the fair creature receives a Roland for an Oliver. An irascribe stockbroker en tered a certain city office exactly at the hour of closing and ap proaching the money order desk, politely requestel the presiding genius to issue him an order for 48 shillings. "Too late," said the damsel curtly, pointing with an ink staided finger to the clock. The indignant broker stormed, raved and finally challenged the cor rectness of the timepiece. The imperturbable lady smiled. The following afternoon two minutes before the closing hour the merchant again presented himself and calmly asked: "Am I too late?" "Only just in time," replied the damsel crossly. "Thank you. Now, miss, I must trouble you to issue me forty-eight orders for 1 shilling each." "F-f-forty-eight!" gasped the horror stricken woman. Her tea had jast arrived and was stand ing on a table behind the screen. "Surely you are joking?" '-Madam," said the stockbrok er, raising his hat politely, "courtesy begets courtesy."

James Ten Eyck, great oars man and great coach, is teaching the sons of E. H. Harriman to row. He hopes that they will do in rowing what Jay Gould has done in court tennis. Mr. Ten Eyck, discussing row ing one day in Syracuse, said success depended on form. He explained whathemeant by form. Then, by way of illustration, he added: "Everything, everything, goes by form. Thus, out west in the old day, it was the essence of form to be informal. My father 7 used to tell about a squire who would marry the young couple that came to him in such form as this: "'Bill, do ye take this gal whose hand ye're a-squeezin' to be yer lawful wife, in flush times an' skimp?' "t 'I guess that's about the size of it, squire.' " 'Mame, do you take this cuss 1 ye've j'ined fists with to be yer 1 pard thru thick an' thin?' "'Ye're right fer once, old man.' " 'All right, then.
