Ou the railroad rate hill it has

President Roosevelt would take sides,
with the minority In the senate, for,
the purpose of pushing the measure
through. It Is said that he went
so far as to try aud get up a confer
ence with Mr. Tillman aud others,
former Senator Chandler acting as
ibis messenger to bring about the con
ference with Mr. Tillman. Senator
Chandler stated openly that the pres
ident had sent him to see Senator
Tllliuan. President Roosevelt Is
sued a card through Secretary Loeb,
in which he denounced the statement
as maliciously false, thus bringing
about a question of veracity between
the president and former Senator
Chandler. Both men are regarded
being men of unquestionable ve-
*raAlty, but the difference between
them is so sharp as to create an Im
pression that one or the other of
them has lied. Senator Tillman ex
hibited a note on the floor from Sec
retary Loeb which seems to hear out
the statement that the president had
sought a conference with Senator
Tillman.
On yesterday an extract from a
Chicago paper was read In the sen
ate by Mr. Bailey of Texas. The arti
cle alleged that Senator Bailey was
responsible for the failure of the
agreement between the president and
Senator Tillman. The article was
written ly n correspondent who fre
quents the white house, and It
understood In the senate that It
Inspired by President Roosc
What must have been the surprise
of the members of that body, the
fore, when Senator Bailey arose
his seat and calmly denounced It as
nu "unqualified, deliberate and mali
cious falsehood; the author being a
deliberate and mauclous liar, and the
the mail who Inspired It a deliberate
and malicious liar, however high the
office he holds." Mr. Bailey ev
idently had only President Roosevelt
in his mind when he made this scath
ing denunciation.
There Is hardly any excuse In the
arid, for the use of such languagi
nu American citizen In regard to
the president of the United States,
aud yet It looks as though the pres
ident lind used his high office to run
oughshod" over these members of
the senate, imputing to them state
ments which they never made and
placing them In a position which
they never occupied. It Is known
that the president has a way of say
ing things about those who get on
the opposite side of a question from
himself, and it is this Impulsive na
ture of his that has brought about
the clash with the members of the
senate, and has caused them to de
nounce him In such ‘unmeasured
terms.
But hack of the whole business Is

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.
In the discussion of the bill now
pending in congress for requiring
that all contributions to political
committee shall be reported to the
clerk of the house of representatives,
Home very Interesting statistical mat
ter was recently brought out. It was
shown that from the very beginning
of Its career the republican party has
elled largely on the use of money in
lections, and that In 1896 Its nation
al campaign fund amounted to six
teen million five hundred thousand
dollars, while that of the democrats
reached only $675,000. In 1900, the
republicans spent $9,500,000; and the
democrats $425,000. Strong efforts
have been made to discover how
much money Mr. Bliss and Mr. Cor-
telyou received In 1904; but though
it has been proven that they and
Mr. Babcock got enormous sums from
the life insurance companies, it has
been charged, and not denied that they
also received large sums from the
trusts and railroads, It has been im
possible to discover how much mon
ey was expended by the party of
corruption and special privilege.
Many of these contributions were
taken from trust funds by mon like
Perkins, McCurdy, McCall $nd Hyde.
And District Attorney Jerome of New
York, who has had Perkins arrested
on the charge of larceny, said that if
Perkins is guilty, then it follows that
Bliss, the treasurer, and Cortelyou,
tho chairman of the republlca^^i*
tlonal committee, are guilty of receiv
ing stolen goods knowing them to
be stolen.
This may account for the silence of
e president respecting these contri
butions. He would, no doubt, have
ordered the stolen money to be re
stored to the life Insurance compa
nies, If It were not that restitution of
stolen goods by tho receivers after
discovery, would amount to a confes
sion of larceny and put the presi
dent’s friends. Bliss and Cortelyou, in
the same predicament with Perkins
—a fact which would sadly Interfere
with the gayety of the president’s
official family. He would not com
pel the members of that family to
give evidence against themselves by
restoring stolen money from widows
and orphans who have no votes. That
would be "a miscarriage of justice”,
almost as bad as that for which he

of men who are probably freer from
the taints than they are themselves.
We see good men. who stand high
in their communities and churches
—who hold places of trust, held up
as “tools" In the hands of "robbers”
and "scoundrels” and every effort Is
put forth to make -them hideous in
the eyes of the people. If half that
has been said about the candidates
who are running for governor of
Georgia is true not a man in the
bunch is fit to hold the place if he
was #*letced.
But most of it is not true. All of
the candidates are men of reputa
tion, who stand high in the estima
tion of their political friends, at
least. None of them are in league
with any schemes to rob any citizen
of the state. The men who become
venemous in their efforts to be vig
orous are in danger of becoming
the kind of liar that President Roose
velt so strenuously denounced. And
that sort of a liar Is a great deal
more to be dreaded than are the
“thieves" and "robbers" we hear so
much about during the heated polit
ical campaigns.
The men who wage campaigns of ^
this sort should be shunned—for It
shows that they either have no plat
form to stand upon, or else theyj

THIEVES AND LIARS.
In the course of his "muck-rake
speech, President Roosevelt said i
number of things that were true,
but he said nothing that contained
the essence of truth more thau this:
"The liar Is no whit better than
the thief."
Later ou lu his speech, the presl-! ^
dent said: "The soul of every . S
scoundrel is ‘gladdened whenever an ^ §
honest man is assailed, or when a
scoundrel is untruthfully assaulted.”! §
Referring again to the Hat ..e said: i 3
