HERE IS A HOT ONE!

Roosevelt on Campaign Funds in 1908 and in 1910. Colonel Roosevelt's “new nationalism’’ platform was filled with eternal truths in which he had aways believed. One o> these related to the purity of the methods of political campaigns. The use of “corporate funds” in politics should be prohibited by law, now that . x Cortelyou and and Bliss have got through collecting them for Roosevelt. That being settled, tbe next thing is

publicity of campaign expenses. At Osawatomie it was roundly declared: "It is particularly important that all moneys received or expended for campaign purposes should be publicly accounted for not. only after election but before election as well." Excellent! The political moralist has spoken. But can fie be the same Theodore Rooseyet who, less thap two years ago. took directly the opposite ground ? From a letter to Mr. Bryan, dated at Washington. September 27, 1908, and signed "Theodore Roosevelt.” we learned at the time that it would be highly improper to make public campaign contributions before elections. That there may be no mistake about the matter we print the two opinions in parallel columns. ROOSEVELT ROOSEVELT A'jpßt XI.

There is evidently something wrong with this, we will not be so rash as to stay what: but we beg to observe that if there is any “liar” at work in the above parallel, he is not in This office, for the only words quoted are Roosevelt's own. —New York Evening Post.
