TRUST MAGNATES BUSY

MEN WHO ARE FINANCING CAMPAIGN OF “THIRD TERMER.” Recently Published Report Makes Interesting Reading for Those Who Have Regarded Roosevelt as Enemy of Monopolies. At last we have some light on the cost of the Roosevelt campaign. The Roosevelt league has Just tiled with the New York seeThtary of state its report of money spent in New York city alone in connection with the election of delegates This campaign cost $59,125.75: 1 hat seems large. But then the Roosevelt people have plenty of money. There are no official reports of expenditures in other communities, bu| if the pace set In New York is maintained the total cost of the campaign to date must be very great. It has been said that. Boss Flinn of Pittsburg' had more than two hundred thousand dollars at his disposal; It is certain that he had all he needed. Of the $59,000 spent in New York city, $45,000 was given by George W. Perkins, Frank A. Munsey and Alexander Cochran—sls,ooo by each. Mr. Perkins id chiefly known to fame as a director of the steel trust and the organizer of the harvester trust- Mr. Munsey is said to be the largest Individual holder of the common stock of the steel trust Yet these two men gave more than half of the large amount spent in New York city during the late campaign in uehalf of the man who is supposed to represent the people in a special and peculiar sense, the man who has declared his hostility to the “swells” whom he has characterized as “silk stockings.” And it Is necessary to spend all this money to get a nomination which the people are supposed to be. thrusting on him. Even popular uprisings and “overwhelming demands” must, it seems, be liberally financed. We trust that those wno still think of Theodore

Roosevelt as a fire-breathing trust* blister will note th,e fact that it is the Roosevelt leiigvi. which has published, to the world the munificence- of Perkins and . i.mt. then it waa never dtc'nelt !'<■!

Mr. Taft’s Two Failures.

President Taft calls for legislation, on the cotton tariff rates, in accordance with the recommendations of his tariff board. When the Ahi rich-Payne bill was passed. Mr. Taft had the best sort ot opportunity to bring about the conditions In now advises by vetoing the measure and demanding proper rates. Again, he was given a chance to secure results he now recommends when the house passed the cotton schedules bill, last summer—a bill substantially in accord with the present board plan. Having failed twice to avail himself of the opportunity to secure just the conditions he now seeks to have adopted, the president has no occasion for surprise in failure of congress to make special haste in following his present recommendations.

Hysteria Will Avail Little.

Political campaigns are invariably accompanied by hysteria, the intensity of which -is proportionate to the power that calls It forth. A demagogue, with oratorical gli't and personal magnetism. such as Mr. Roosevelt is often able to persuade his auditors to act contrary to their convictions, A yell of “fire’' will always start a panic and the shout of “turn ’em out” will always be echoed. If this country Is to prosper its political issues must be solved by thoughtful people and not by frenzied emotionalists.

For the Tea Table.

Small sugar cutters, which are really scissor shaped tongs, are a great help to the hostess at afternoon tea, for it is a difficult matter to select a lump* of sugar which is the proper size. The little cutters may be used in place of the ordinary sugar tongs as well-as for cutting the lumps into halves or quarters.
