ROCKEFELLER ESCAPES When the news was received over "the ticker" in Wall Street that At torney-General Moody had decided not to press for any jail penalty against John D. Rockefeller and other Standard Oil officials "the fact was pointed to joyfully," says a New . York journal in its market report, "as evidence that the Roosevelt Ad ministration and the trust were now in accord yjid that occurrences in the near future will demonstrate clearly that the two nave reached a thorough understanding. Wall Street regarded the developments in connection with the Standard Oil investigation in Ohio by the Federal Government as a moral victory for the great trust." It seems impossible to divorce the Republican leaders from Wall Street influences and trust associations ami the above Wall Street news indicates that the trusts will supply the sinews of war and that the campaign fund of the Republican party will be replen ished from that source. The dollar subscription dodge of Chairman Sher man is only a fake to fool the voters into believing that trust influences have been banished from the Repub lican campaign. - —Tim deposits in the National Banks, upon which they pay no in terest, amounted on Julv 23d to 790,681 and Secretary Shaw has promised the banks to let tlieni have most of the 830,000,000 which will be forthcoming from the sale of Pana ma bonds on the same terms. This is a soft snap for the banks, they sub scribe for the bonds and still keep the money, but draw the interest which the bonds call for. It's great finan ciering tor the banks but rather ex pensive for the taxpayers, THE CORRUPT REPUBLICAN MACHINE- Former Republican Congressman Fo3< has declared war on Senator and his "corrupt" machine in Massachusetts, which he declares should be "annihilated." He says in a letter to ('banning Smith of the Republican state committee: "The machine has made up the slate for all offices for 12 years in advance. As you have said publicly, no man has any chance of political preferment in Massachusetts who will not wear the collar of the political boss of the state. Now, lam in for breaking up this sort of thing." Everywhere there is the same re volt against the Republican state ma chines and it is one ot the good omens for Democracy that honest Republi cans are talking plainly and exposing the corruption that exists. How is it in this state and who will be the hon est spokesman for reform ? So J DIIII 1), Rockefeller is not to goto jail, or even to be prosecuted criminally by tlic Federal authorities, but if the Administration can screw up its courage, lie may be fined and the farce of prosecuting the Standard Oil Trust »ill be another nine days wonder. EXPRESS COMPANIES AND RAILROADS There will have to be a shake-up in the management of Kxpress Com panies under the new law. As it is now the officials of railroads are of ficials of Kxpress companies and vice versa, which would indicate a con spiracy in restraint of trade, especial ly as there is no competition between express companies at joint points. What the people are bound to have before they get done legislating about corporations is competition, or where competition is not possible such just rates as the situation demands. If the new law is found not sufficient to insure that, the law will be further amended by Congress. Congress here after w ill be in I lie hands of the peo ple instead of being as heretofore a corporation annex. —ll' this automobile slaughter goes much further there won't be much left of the "400." PRESIDENT AND SENATORS The Ohio Kepublican Convention Must Straddle. When 'lie Kepublican factions in < )hio meet in State convention, they will not only have to settle their dif ferences, but have a still harder nut t ) crack. The puzzling question for these patriots to settle is how can the President and the two United States Senators be indorsed at the same time ? Poraker and Dick, the two Senators seemed to take a delight in opposing the President's most cherished legisla tion. Foraker voted against the rail road rate bill and the bill for joint statehood and in fact aided the Demo crats iu amending the latter measure so as to give Arizona the right to de cide 011 joint statehood, or not, while President Roosevelt wanted the part isan measure of forcing the two terri tories in as one state, so as to be a sure Republican state. Then Porak er pigeon-holed the Santo Domingo treaty and we know from Secretary Tai't how savage the President feels about that, though he publicly blam ed the D emocrats. Then Senator Dick, who belongs to the old Ilanna gang, helped to defeat the bill reducing the tariff ou Philip pine importations and voted for a sea level canal iu the face of the Presi dent's recommendation for a lock canal and favored a broad review of the acts of the Interstate Commerce Commission. But ptrhaps such little inconsisten cies will not bother an Ohio Republi can convention, for they may indorse the bunch iu general terms. If Gos veuor was not so thoroughly discredit ed he could draw a plank that would teeter either way and stand straddled in the middle with Foraker and Dick 011 one end and President Roosevelt gritting his teeth on the other. The Republican game of fooling the peo ple is not so difficult in a Republican convention, but occasionally the "dear people" discover the trick and kick over the traces. REPUBLICAN IMBECILITY. "Standing pat" on the tariff and other economic issues is absurd. Con ditions change with the time and what may be for the advantage of the peo ple one year, is to their disadvantage hereafter. To "standpat" 011 the tariff as the law is today, when it has proven to be plundering the peo ple for the benefit ot the protected monopolists is not statesmanship, but Bourbonism. The fact is the Repub lican party has become atrophied by standing pat and lost its virility by being fed by the pampered trusts and special interests it has itself created. It stands pat because it does not feel competent to throw off their incubus and again assume its original spirit of liberty and devotion to its pristine conceptions, which were announced iu the great Declaration of Independ ence, but which it now says are ob solete and glittering generalities. The Republican party stands now for tax ation without representation, it allows the trusts and protected combines to tax flic people ten times the amount, than even the plundering tariff law compels the people to pay to the gov ernment itself. To standpat 011 such a system of legalized robbery is imbe cility. The great doctrine of Equal rights to all and special privileges to none has 110 lodgment in the heart of the Republican standpatters. A TYPICAL MACHINE POLITICIAN The hide bound partisan spirit that some politicians display, should show the people how useless they are for any practical service. Ilere is Sena tor Frye pledging the Republican State convention in Maine that he was for the G. (). P. "right or wrong." As the Republican machine in Maine has been notoriously corrupt and wrong, very wrong, for a number of years, the members of the convention must have felt their hearts warm to I''rye for his pledge to stand by them. It is only necessary to mention that Frye was the champion of ship-sub sidy in the Senate to show how faith fully he stands by the G. O. P. when it is radically wrong. The voters of Maine should clear the decks by de feating the Republican ring and then dispose of Frye and his like when their time comes. If you look up Frye's record he will be found voting for all the corrupt legislation that the Re publican party has been responsible for. —ONCE upon a time a man went down to his front gate one morning and stopped the milkman. "Say," he called, "I want you to leave milk here after this. How much is it a quart?" "Five cents," responded the milk man. "Well, here is thirty five cents. That will pay for a week." And that worthy citizen went into his breakfast. For all that week the milkman faithfully left the milk on the door step each morning, and after the week was up he continued to leave it, and the citizen continued to take it inside every morning, and use it. Things went on this way for a year, and finally the milkman pre sented a bill for milk for fifty-one weeks. "Rut, 1 only ordered milk of you for one week. You should have stopped when the time was up," said the citizen. "Have you not re ceived the milk each morning, and used it ?" asked the milkman. "Yes, but I thought you was giving it to me," said the citizen. "Vou'r a blamed fool, or else you are a terrible liar," replied the quick tempered milkman, "and if you don't pay for that milk I will have the law on you." The man paid up. Should you ask us the name of this piotesting citizen, we can only tell you that it is the same man that took the local paper for seven years, and then re fused to pay for it, because he had only paid for a year when he subscrib ed, and claimed lie thought that the publisher was giving it to him. - —Tim position of the standpat Re publicans illustrates the old story of the three men who met to start a new church, with but two planks in its) platform—"lst. The meek shall in herit the earth; 2nd. We are the meek." A CONTEMPTIBLE "CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY." We have reason fur pride iu many of our "captains ot industry," but President Corey, of the steel trust, is uot an American to he proud of. The directors of the United States steel corporation yesterday declared dividends ou both preferred and com mon stock after listening to a report which is said to have shown one of the most prosperous quarters in the existence of that most colossal of corporations. The president of the company gave a dinuer, but his sec retary frankly explained that it was not given by President Corey to cele brate the prosperity of his company, but as a outlet for his joy at having received news from Nevada that he had been granted a divorce from his wife upon her complaint that he had deserted her, he having acknowledged that charge, having resisted the ap peals of his mother and sister to re turn to her, and having declared to bis sou that she was a good woman, and that her son's place was by her side. Humor, plausibly supported, says that there was no demand for alimony, because he had agreed to pay several of bis millions to the wife whom he thus brutally east aside, and that lie is soon to be married again to an actress. A nd this is the kind of a man who is chosen to preside over the greatest of American industrial organizations; a position of both dignity and sacred responsibilities; a position calling for not only a mechanical knowledge and administrative ability, which he un doubtedly possesses, but demanding a reputation for honor and strict recti tude which would warrant the confi dence of stockholders and of all who deal with his company. —DAVID M. PARRY, the Indian apolis manufacturer and railroad of ficial who lias been fighting the Labor Unions for years as president of the National Association of Manufactures, is much opposed to laboring men re quiring pledges of candidates for Con gress or the legislatures. Pariy is ardently for Manufactures organizing to protect their interests, but bitterly opposed to labor organizations for the protection of the interest of the work ingman. He subscribes money to elect a Republican Congress that will "stand pat'' and give special favors to his class and derides Labor for pledging candidates to stand for what the workingmen desire for their inter est. As it is now the Republicans have carried out the Parry program and the manufacturers have the in side track while Labor holds the little end of the horn. WHEN FLIES ARE BAD IS HEALTH GOOD ? According to a report just issued by the bureau of insular affairs, a Dr. lleiser, who is at the head of the Philippine Bureau of Health, reports that the spread of Asiatic cholera in the islands is due to the unusual num ber of flies. This is a reminder of the discovery that yellow fever is spread bv a certain variety of mosquito, and there is much encouragement iu the reflection that Yellow Jack has been controlled and restricted with com parative ease since that fiict was es tablished. There are no flies in Cuba. The pest of flies iu the Philippines is said to be worse than it lias been for many years, but the intelligent people everwhere are now said to be taking vigorous measures for their de structiou, and to be carefully screen ing all places where food is kept, and otherwise protecting themselves a gainst infection by the hitherto de spised fly bites. If flies carry cholera, why not other maladies ? When flies are bad is health good ? It is fly time with us also, and there is warrant for some misgivings as to the possible damage done by flies and the expediency of combating them with something more effective than sticky and unsightly fly paper. There is a strong probability that iusect life, like bird life, serves a useful purpose, but a growing suspic ion that more attention should be paid to the little things that buz/, where fever lurks, and where the pestilence is brooding. KEEP YOU EYE ON OYSTER BAY. Former Postmaster Smith who is editor of the Philadelphia Press, was invited to Oyster Ray soou after the congressional leaders and Penrose, the Republican machine leader, had been there. The Press is backing the Lin coln-Democratic ticket and a dispatch to the Washington Post says it is be lieved that the Republican leaders urged President Roosevelt to remon strate with Smith on the stand which his paper had taken. Is the I'resi ent secretly aiding the old Quay ma chine? It certainly looks like it. IT IS HIS TO DO WITH AS HE PLEASES Every now anil then some promi nent public man rises up and has the courage to say a word in defense of the "unfortunate rich," who in these days appear to have few defend ers outside their own ranks. It is un fortunately too much the custom in these days to look upon the man who has managed to amass a fortune as a thief and a rogue, who has succeeded in accumulating riches at the expense of others less fortunate. Secretary Shaw made a little plea in Chicago the other day in behalf of men who, by their industry and enterprise, have made accumulations of money and who spend it in ways to suit them selves when he said: "Let the man who has made money spend it any way he pleases so long as he is law-abiding. Do you im agine a man is going to take the trouble to indulge in important indus trial schemes, interest his friends and make a tight against desperate odds and his own native inertia if he is to be told that he will receive a small in terest on his money for his pains? A man who conceives and carries out important commercial ventures is en titled to dine on his golden plate if he chooses to. He puts bread in the mouths of his operatives." A QUESTION OF TAINTED MONEY. If the Republican Congressional Committee is only going to collect 81 from those members of the parly who feel like subscribing, why did the party leaders refuse to pass the Till man bill which [ roiibitcd corpora tion.- from giving money to political parties? Somehow the two facts don't seem to jibe and there is a sneaking suspicion that CI airman Jim .Sher man would not refuse a larger dona tion from th ■ Sugar trurfc, the Stand ard Oil trust, the Beef trust or even the railroad corporations, if checks were forwarded in plaiu envelopes. It will be remembered that even Presi dent Roosevelt deubumed Judge Parker for charging that the trusts and corporations had subscribed to the Republican campaign fund in 1904, but it has since been proven that such funds were solicited and re ceived, especially from tl.e funds of the Life Insurance corporations which should have been sacred to the widows and orphiusof the policy holders. And there is 110 record of the Presi dent having apologized to Judge Parker nor that restitution of the tainted money has been made. — THE public is very wisely "keep ing out of Wall Street," but the Re publican campaign fund collectors are making many pilgrimages to the head quarters of the trusts, the tariff bene ficiaries and the banking magnates. The Life Insutance companies are barred, this year, as the policy hold ers are watching the officials to pre vent the funds being squandered, as they were by the subscriptions made to the Roosevelt campaign fund in 1904. — SECRETARY SHAW has left Wash ington for lowa to try and down Gov. Cummins mid incidentally to nurse his presidential boom that has had rather a sickly existence. The Treas ury Department seems to run quite as well without Shaw's attention as with it, for it is the exception to find him at his desk attendiug to business. He pops over to Wall Street about every week and never makes a move that will affect the financial world but the Rockefeller banks get a tip in ad vance. —GAS in Nottingham, England, is 110 cents per 1,000 feet and nt Widnes in Lancashire with u population of only about 30,000 it is 30 cents and large consumers will pay from 22 to 20 cents. This is undoubtedly the cheapest gas in the world, but the profit on the gas works to the muni cipality that owns them was §22,887.- 15. This information is official and is reported by our Consul F. W. Maliin to the State Department. What must most of our gas companies be making that charge from!) 0 cents to 81.50 per 1,000 feet? —A BOSTON paper which support ed McKinley for the presidency in 1806, says that Roosevelt's most prominent characteristics are—"brag, bluster, conceit, lawlessness, egotism, deceitfulness, imprudence, treachery, and heartlessness." The same paper says that "Senator Lodge orders the suppression of every reference to re ciprocity with Canada and is obeyed without question, whether in conven tion or legislature." It likens Lodge to Quay and Piatt, and asks; "Is it not time for self-respecting Republi cans to look elsewhere?" —SENATOR LAFOLLETTK says that the United States Senate at its late session was more representative of the people than the House of Representa tives. It must he admitted that the facts show this and the reason is plain that the House chiefly represents the views and wishes of the Speaker and his clique, who are extreme standpat ters, friendly to the railroads and trust corporations and forced the House to vote to make the people pay for heef inspection, while the Senate voted that the cost of inspection should be paid by the Beef Trust. To re-elect a Republican Congress means to continue this ring rule. Dishonest Mortar. "Dishonest mortar—a corrupt con glomeration of sea saud and lime—was responsible for nearly all the earth quake damage in San Francisco," says Dr. T. Nukamura, professor of architecture of the Imperial Univer sity of Tokio and one of the most dis tinguished members of the committee dispatched to San Francisco by the Japanese government to investigate the effects of trembler and lire. Af ter investigations covering several weeks Dr. Nakamura has completed his labors and upon sailing said: "I find that much of the damage to San Francisco from the earthquake was due to poor mortar and faulty construction, and the greater part of the damage to the class A buildings by fire was the result of the misguid ed use of hollow tiling and so-called fire blocks instead of eoucrete. It is an easy matter, I have found, to de sign a building that will not only be earthquake proof, but practically fire proof. '' "Dishonest mortar"—how much of loss, failure, disaster in life is due to "dishonest mortar? We desire to <Ui tilings too quickly, too cheaply, too showily ntid in so doing neglect the essential parts—we use "dishonest motar." We want to do a showy business, to run a show farm, to "cut a splurge"—iu short to appear to be something we are not. We look all right until the test comes and then the "dishonest mortar" fails us just as it did San Francisco. All honor to the man who uses hon est mortar, who builds his life as well as his buildings, the very best he knows how, who is honest all the way through. Such citizens are the strength of the present and the hope of the future. —SENATOR AUKENEY of the state of Washington thinks the Republicans will have a hard task to win in 1008, whoever they nominate. This shows the way the wind is blowing in the extreme Northwestern stales, where the farmers have discovered that they are not protected by the tariff on wheat and other agricultural products, but very much plundered by the tariff on what they buy. — TIIE New York Post is authority ■ o • the statement that the Republican tariff revisionists are reading: "Let him that thinketh he standcth pat, take heed lest he fall into a minor ity." And Mr. FOES, the principal a Ivoeate of reciprocity is running for the Republican nomination for Lieu'. Governor against the standpatter, Gen. Draper, to discover if the people will make the above come true. — THE Shennandoah Town Council has decided that it will be unlawful for the police to enter any of tl e saloons while on duty, unless, of c nirse, their p e enee is demanded, which, undoubtedly, will be often re quired—in their is imation. It is a good move nevertheless and an ex ample that should attract the atten tion of other towns. At the Old Horse Sale By Sara Beaumont Kennedy Cow/rioht, 1306, by Sara licaumont Kennedy "You must not go In there. It Is no place for you." There wns more than protest In Ills voice. Tliere was posi tive command, which, perhaps, was the reason why slie walked directly under the auctioneer's red flag Into the ex press office, already thronged with Idle, curious buyers. "I never was at anything more ex citing than a dry goods bargain sahi, This will be positively like Mont* Carlo." "Our uncle will disapprove"— "Of course he will. He disapproves of most things I do slnco you took up the role of social mentor for the fam ily. That year abroad spoiled you, Adolphus. You have never been en durable since you took to patent up pers and a monocle. Now, Nick would have brought mo In here without a word of remonstrance and lent mo every penny out of his pocket If I needed It to bid with—lent me even his car fare and walked home uncom plainingly and carried my parcels." "If he had not happened to see au old woman or a lame cat to help over the crossing, in which case, very likely, ho would have laid the parcels down and quite forgotten to pick them up." "Perhaps, for Nick is a bit absent minded, but he Is perfectly adorable when It comes to giving a girl her own way." "My brother Is happy lu winning your good opinion. It Is my misfor tune"— "No, it's your fault; you are so frightfully conventional. Dear me, wlint curious people!" "They are the drift from the street. None of our set ever"— "There, the auctioneer Is beginning again. It will be perfectly delightful to buy something and not have the least idea what It is—so weird and mysterious!" "Nellie, surely you are not going to bid out loud in this crowd!" "I certainly am. There is no barm in It, and I am sick to death of the right angle rules by which yon and uncle measure my life. Wonder what that woman found in her parcels? There goes up a buudbox. I shall bid on that." "Nellie, don't!" he first commanded, then entreated vehemently, but Bhe was as a deaf adder that stoppetb her ears. "Fifty cents," she called, In answer to the auctioneer's challenge, at the same time stopping upon an empty box by the wall, so that she was In plain view of the whole crowd. "Seventy-five cents!" screamed a feminine voice across the ball. "One dollar," flashed hack Nellie, her color rising, her eyes shining, for her cousin's voice came up to her In agi tated whispers. "One fifty," came from her opponent. "Two dollars," cried Nellie, pushing Adolphus' hand from her sleeve. "Three dollars," shrieked the other woman, nervously counting the change in her purse. No one else was bid ding. the entire crowd having centered Its attention on the nervous woman and the "swell" and there were cheers and counter cheers as tho bids rose dollar by dollar until at last the coveted box was knocked down to Nel lie. She was still laughing and flushed with her triumph when they emerged from the door over which flew the red flag, but Adolphus felt miserable and compromised, and this feeling was not abated when ho saw the astonishment In the eyes of Miss Curtis, whose lan dau happeneil at that moment to pass, for Miss Curtis was the personifica tion of rigid conventionality. He count ed the meeting as one more mlufortune in an unlucky day. Nellie's excitement waned as they walked, and by the timo they entered her uncle's gate sho was strangely si lent. Adolphus evidently took this for a hopeful sign, ror firesentiy he cleared his throat, adjusted Ills monocle and began: "Nellie, we must talk seriously. The time has come"— "No, it hasn't come," she said. In terrupting him good liaturedly, "so stop right there. I don't know whether this is a lecture or a proposal of mar riage—your private talks with me vi brate between these two subjects— but I am in no mood for either. For heaven's sake, Adolphus, throw that glass away. 1 hate to be spied at like that!" With a reproachful sigh he removed the offending glass and said: "Nick not only lectured you yesterday; he posi tively scolded you, and"— "And I deserved it, but I answered him back spitefully, like the little beast I am, and he—he hasu't even noticed me since." Sho turned her head so that he did not #ee the quiver of her rod lips, the pas«ionate protest of her eyes. All their set knew that her dicta torial old uncle Intended sho should marry Adolphus, who satisfied his so cial ambitions, while Nick, who cared nothing for society, smoked a pipe and forgot to have Ills trousers creased, was a thorn in the old man's side. Between these two were constant dis agreements, whieh Nellie had hitherto managed to make up, but yesterday there had been a quarrel of unusual violence, and there was even some tall: of Nick's lenving tho house. It wi,» of tills she had been thinking as she t followed her purchase home. "Adolphus," she said as they mount ed the steps, "can't you do something— anything—to patch up this new quar rel 4>otweeu Nick and uncle?

In the library, to stem the tide of Adolphus' wooing, she hastily opened her box and lifted out the couteuts, a quaint and curious bonnet of a decade ago, a bonnet with a scooped brim plied high with flowers and nodding plumes. As she put it on her head, shrieking with laughter, hor uiiole and Nick entered the room, both 01 them showing In their manner strong excite ment. The girl paused in pirouet ting and paled at the sight of the stem faces. Her uncle saw her strange head gear and angrily demanded its origin. Adolphus explained very carefully, not forgetting his own expostulations against the caprice. The old man turn ed wrathfully upon the girl. "You and Nick are of a piece In your attempts to humiliate and make a lauffbbuutack of mo. My niece, the female head of my family,* bidding at a common auction against a washer woman! Take that hideous thing out of my sight!" But the spoiled girl only made him a daring little courtesy which set all the bonnet's varihued plumes a-noitdipg. Nick crossed the room to her side. "Nellie," he said wistfully, "I am go lug away for good; my uncle and I have agreed it is best, lie has for bidden me to speak to you of marriage (and that is the cause of our quarrel), but I love you with all my heart. You know what I have to offer you, dear, but will you come with me as my wife?" It was as if a bomb had exploded at the old man's feet. The words of in terruption ho would have uttered were only spluttering* of auger. By the table the girl paused, trembling and going from white to red. Then her uncle found his voice. "Out of my sight, sir! Your disobe dience shall cost you dearly. I dis own you—l cut you off without a penny for your impudence! Your in heritance shall be"—he glanced about for the most worthless thing In sight, nnd his eye lit on the empty box on the table—"that trash, slrl Take your inheritance and go!" Ho was pointing to the door, but Nick's eyes were on Nellie and into them there flashed a radiant Joy as at a sign from her he approached the table. "You give me this box and its con tents as my fortune, sir?" "Yes." "Then I am content, for you have given me that which I most desire in all the whole world." The old man looked sharply at the two smiling faces. "What mummery is this?" he demanded. Then he, too, approached the table and peered into the box where Nick's eyes were fas tened. "What is that?" he cried, ad- Justing his glasses. "If you please, sir, it is Nick's heri tage," answered Nellie shyly. For in the side of the pasteboard box was a hole through which the rogue of a girl had thrust her dimpled hand. And that was how Nellie obtained her uncle's consent and how Nick won his heurt's desire as the aftermath of the old horse sale. Savored or the Truth.

There aro hundreds of women who find delight in visiting shops, pulling over the stocks, obtaining camples they do not want and wasting time and patience of sales people for which good customers are willing to pay liberally.
