Bellefonte, Pa., October 18, 1912. “v— —_ El Sheldon and J. P. Mor- gan Tell of Millions Sub- scribed In 1904, BIG FAVORS IN RETURR. Prick, Gouid and Morgan Gave $100,000 Each—Corporations Gave 73/2 Per Cent of Entire Amount Received. John D. Archbold's statement that the Standard Oil company contributed $100,000 to Mr. Roosevelt's campaign fund in 1904 was confirmed by George R. Sheldon, who succeeded Cornelius N. Bliss as treasurer of the Republican national committee. Not only did the Standard Oil com- pany give $100,000 to elect Mr. Roose- velt president, but J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. gave $100,000, H. C. Frick gave $100,000 and George Gould gave anoth- er $100,000. Mr. Sheldon testified that 78% per cent of Mr. Roosevelt's total campaign fund was contributed by cor | porations. Naturally these people gave their | money freely to the Roosevelt cam- paign fund. Testifying that he had contributed $150,000 to the Roosevelt campaign fund in 1904 because he was “especial: ly interested.” Mr. J. P. Morgan added. “The only interest we had was in the welfare of the public.” Mr. Morgan emphasized his devotion to Mr. Roosevelt's political fortunes by the further statement that J. P. Mor- gan & Co.'s usual contribution to Re- | publican campaign funds was only | $100,000; that he never heard of any donation by his firm to the Democrats: that when Mr. Taft was a candidate in 1008 the sum subscribed was $30.000 and that this year neither he nor his banking house had subscribed a dol lar. How It Was All Done. i To grasp these pregnant facts we | have only to recall a little modern his- | tory. In 1904 Mr. Roosevelt had his bureau of corporations in working or- der. Mr. Cortelyou, lately in control of it as secretary of commerce and la- | bor, had been made chairman of the national Republican committee. He | and Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer. were collecting money. As George R. Shel | don, Mr. Bliss’ successor, says, 73% per | cent of the funds received came from | the menaced corporations. If we do not tind in these disclosures a sufficient explanation of J. P. Morgan & Co's “especinl interest” in Mr. | Roosevelt's election, it is possible that later events may reveal it Mr. Roosevelt never prosecuted J. I' Morgan & Co.'s steel trust. He em- | phaticaily stopped the proceedings in: | stituted by others against J. P, Morgan & Cos harvester trust. When the panic of 1907 was at its height be turn- ed the resources of the treasury over to J. P. Morgan & Co.. who used them and made mouey and reputation by the process. He met Gary and Frick, rep resenting J. P. Morgan & Co.'s steel trust, before breakfast one morning and licensed them. in violation of law, to absorb the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, thus giving J. P. Morgan & Co.'s steel trust a monopoly of high grade iron ore. He put Mr. Bacon, n partner of J. I. Morgan & Co., into the state department and the diplomatic service. He made Herbert Satterlee. J. P. Morgan's son-in-law, assistan’ secretary of the navy. In a letter to Attorney General Bonaparte he testi fled feelingly to the virtues of the “Morgan interests which have been so friendly to us.” Never before was the “public welfare” so cheaply protected Extent of Morgan Interests. The “Morgan interests’ are not con fined to J. P. Morgan & Co. by any means. The Morgan Interests compre hend life insurance companies, banks and trust companies, railroads and manufacturing enterprises, If the par- ent house increased its regular Repub- lican contribution in 1904 because of its “especial interest” we may easily imagine that the policy was widely imitated by affiliated corporations and individuals. Perhaps in this almost un: exampled favor by the Morgan inter ests we shall find an explanation of the Roosevelt administration’s hostillt to the Standard Oil interests, which have not always agreed with J P Morgan & Co. concerning “the welfare of the public.” It may be that the senate committee will be able to throw more light or this point. but it can bardly add any- thing to the scandal of the Morgan Roosevelt alliance. It was Mr, Roose- velt whe pened ap to J. P. Morgan & To. the possibilities of government by Mg business. It was Mr. Roosevelt who persuaded J. P. Morgan & Co. to plunge deeply into politics. It was Mr Roosevelt who. consulting “the public welfare,” registered the decrees of J P. Morgan & Co, in the White House Not until Mr. Roosevelt had lost con trol of the Republican machinery and the law providing for publicity of cam paign contributions had gone into ef fect did J. P. Morgan & Co. disappear from the list of regular contribntors to the colossal corruption funds of the Republican party. Are J. P. Morgan & Co. now operating politieally nndor cover of their recent partner, George W. Perkins?—New York World. —Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. | be multiplied high and low degree, rubbers, sun | | inflict upon all the states in the Union 1 % INTEREST OF FAKERS. | FINALLY OPENED HIS EYES. “1 suppose I ought to be wearing eye glasses,” she said, “but I can't.” “Theodore Rex” Promises to Shield | “How do you know?” inquired the Them Against Discrimination by | young man.

All these serve to protect the public against ignorant pretenders and would be perfectly fair did not the very same enactments ex empt the latter from the provisions ap plying to educated practitioners. Favors For Cormorants. Thus do our sagacious legislators stultify themselves in the interest of the cormorants to whom they grant special privileges. because, forsooth. they claim to “heal” without medi cines! There is now no discrimination against “schools of medicine.” There: fore the special protection demanded for them by the bull moose platform ix gratuitous and intended only to entrap votes. The “healers” belong to no school. Now comes Theodore Rex and dignifies them by a special provision and, expressing a most tender regard for their sensibilities, promises to shield them against discrimination hy educated physicians. This platform would raise the quack and healer above the men who daily exemplify their personal and profes sional superiority by some unselfish devotion to the public weal. In his eagerness to placate the Influential horde of empirics Mr. Roosevelt would have us oblivious of the fact that the educated physician is the only real altruist in the community. [Instead of arousing the public conscience (T. IR.'~ favorite slogan) this self appointed re former deepens the crying shame and thus exemplifies again that “under no circumstances” need he be bound hy his prior professions. President Taft has won the approval of the quacks and healers by his med feal regulations of the canal zone: hence this Machiavellian policy.

Workmen on the Canadian sid of the Niagara river reported that they had seen a man vault the iron rail just above the brink below the falls and fall among the rocks and spray 200 feet below. Shortly afterward the police picked up a derby hat, business cards and in- surance papers bearing the name of “Frank I. Parker, Buffalo, N.
