1 The corporations , that is , the
men who compose the corpora
tions , were just as guilty as the
little fellows who went to the peni
tentiary. They are criminals of
the very worst stamp , and yet ,
under the law made by a republi
can congress , they keep out of
jail and run political parties as
usual. Judges and juries may do
their duty faithfully , but republic -
c a n politicians i n congress
make it impossible to jail the
big criminals.
ROOSEVELTO BOMBASTO
"I have gone over your bill very
carefully , " said the. president to
Mr. Wadsworth ; and then he pro
ceeded to "declare that certain
words were in the bill which were
not there , and that certain provis
ion was not in the bill which was
there. Then he berated Wads-
worth in true cowboy fashion ;
charging him with bad faith and
lack of integrity. But when
"Wadsworth resented the insult and
proved that the president was
mistaken , there was a very awk
ward apology and a shifting of
ground , and hiding behind a scape
goat , as usual in a Rooseveltian
fiasco. "Now , " says the New
York Evening Post , "this would
be a sore discomfiture to a debater
on the floor of the house , and when
the president comes forward as
practically such a debater , he cannot -
not escape appearing discomfited
also. But Roosevelt , the debater ,
rides off on the excuse of a sov-
erign that the blunder was not his t
but that of his advisers. It was
Beveridge that misled him. It was
Reynolds whose sociological eye
failed to find in the bill what the
president no'w confesses was there
all the time. Yes , but the presi
dent did not Jay that it was Bev *
eridge and Reynolds who had
carefully gone over the "Wadsworth
bill and found it "very , very bad. "
He used the " 1" and that makes
it difficult afterwards to say
"they. "
The net result of the whole busi
ness is that President Roosevelt
has gone back to his friends , but
has increased by three millions
dollars the amount of patronage
, available to help the trust candi-
1 dates for congress in Illinois , . Mis *
souriand Nebraska next fall , has
j strengthened the monopoly of the
| larger packers and hurt the little
j ones and the cattlemen very bad-
ily. The disciple of ICang Hi is a
wonderful character. *
CAMPAIGN FUNDS
The New York Tribune , respect
able republican authority says :
"The members of the republican
campaign committee assert posi
tively that this will not be a mon
ey campaign. There will be no
effort to get contributions from
corporations , they declare. "
That , however , hardly explains
why President Roosevelt , Speaker
Cannon and the other republican
leaders objected to the passage by
the House of Representatives of
the Tillman bill which prohibited
. contributions from corporations to
political parties which was passed
by the Senate. Chairman Cortel-
you and the other republican pa
triots who made the corporations
"come down" in the last national
campaign and who especially bled
three life insurance companies of
about § 150,000 and how much more
from others has , so far , not been
discovered , are still holding the
republican bag with a good deal of
this tainted money in it , which
will , we are told , be disbursed in
the coming campaign instead of
being returned to the widow and
orphan fund from which ] it was
filched. Such a committee , of
course , would make "no effort to
get contributions from corpora
tions , " but while the committee's
morals have become impregnable ,
how about the corporations ?
It would seem quite probable
that the railroads , whose rates are
to be regulated by the republican
party , might insist on making their
usual large contributions towards
the success of g. o. p. The beef
trust may think it advisable to be
more liberal than usual , for are
not the packing houses all to be
inspected by a republican adminis
tration. The national banks have
always furnished their share of
the boodle to keep the party of
great moral ideas in power. Does
this explain the mdifferanee of the
president and the opposition of
Speaker Cannon and the other re
publican leaders of the Tillman
bill ? The republican national and
congressional committees must
"fry the fat" out of somebody , or
there would be virtually no repub
lican campaign , and , of course , the
president and speaker have been
guided by the committee's counsel
and they cannot shirk the respon
sibility for the smothering of the
measure.

should be deeply interested in what he has said about soda
crackers , because they are the one food with' which all of
them are familiar.
Uncle Sam has given out figures showing that soda
crackers are richer in nutriment and body-building elements ,
properly proportioned , than any * food made from flour.
This is saying much for common soda crackers , and
much for UneedS BiSCS it
more , because they are
soda crackers of the best quality. They are baked better
more scientifically. They are packed better more cleanly.
The damp , dust and odor proof package retains all the good
