AND COLLIER’S ♦ TOO Collier's Weekly had a significant editorial this week entitled. “The Re-; publicans &nd Money.” It is given herewith: ’’The election and subsequent death of Mr. Taft would mean i the occupancy of the white house by an official fat-fryer who has during several years past approached, with deferential hat in hand, the president or treasurer in the country. It was in the course of this official function that Sherman was profanely turned down by Mr. Harriman, with bitter denunciation of the Republican party and reeking messages for the head of that party, that the party and the head of it had not been grateful for the $250,000 which Mr. Harriman collected and gave in 1904. Penrose, as one of the executive committee of nine which is to do the actqal work of the Republican campaign, is in error of taste and judgment but not a great deal worse. With T. Coleman Du Pont, of Deleware, however, the case differs. Among the combinations now being prosecuted by the federal government is that aggregation of companies known as the Powder Trust. Mr. Du Pont is president of the fifty-million-dollar Du Pont Powder Company, president of the ten-million-dollar International Powder Company, director of the International Smokeless Powder Company, and vice president of the holding company, the Delaware Securities company, which owns a majority of the stock of the Laflin & Rand Powder Company. Suppose that Mr. Taft being successful, should be approached by Mr. Du Pont thus: "I am one of the ten men, including Chairman Hitchcock, who have put you over the plate, i don’t want to be reminding you continually of the obligation; there is one small piece i>f patronage I should like, and I shan’t speak to you about patronage again during your administration. There is a deserving young friend of mine whom I should like to have appointed to the position lately held by Mr. Purdy, in charge of that bureau of the Department of Justice which is seeking to break up my company, deprive me of some of my property, and declare me a violator of the law.”’ Something analogous would

have been the presence of Harry Thaw two years ago on a committee of ten to collect funds and promote tbe election of Jerome as district attorney. A minority' plank, calling for a statute providing for publicity of campaign expenditures, was thrown out of the committee On resolutions by a vote of 52 to 1, and was rejected on the floor of the convention by a vote of 880 to 94 —Nebraska and Idaho and parts of Wisconsin and Indiana favoring it. The amount of Bourbonism still left in the Republican party is far too large.” Speaking of Mr. Hawkins* failure to arrive here Wednesday, the Portland Sun said: It hasn’t been so very long since “Uncle” Nate was a base ball fan for your life, gcing a great distance to see the Portland team play i the naional game. He made these trips in his automobile and was never known to be tardy or absent. The indications are that a large delegation of Fort Wayne and Allen county republicans will go to Decatur Saturday to attend the republican mass meeting, which will nominate a candidate for U>int senator from Adams and Allen counties. The Fort Wayne party will leave in a special car on the Decatur interurban line at 1 V m. Saturday—Fort Wayne News. “The Campbells are Coming.” ExGovernor Campbell of Ohio, who is the Democratic nominee for senator in the Buckeye state, predicts that Ohio will go democratic by 50,000 in November. The New York Staats Zeitung. the great German paper published by Herman Ridder, says: “It is conceded even in Republican circles that the election of a Republican governor in Ohio is more than doubtful.” That the people of Fort \Vayne have only the friendliest feelings fur the great Decatur fair is evident from the size of the delegation which went . from here to attend the gathering this . morning on the opening date. And it is doubtful if a more friendly greeting' to a visiting delegation was ever offered than that which the Decatur people extend to the Fort Wayne attendants. Anyway, this little misunderstanding was a sort of lover's quarrel, which will end in all of us being more thoughtful of each others feelings in the future. —Fort Wayne News.
