THURSDAY, SEPT. 20, 1906. TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Repubs licans. To each subscriber we will paign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help as achieve a great victory. James S. Sherman, Chairman. P, O. Box 2063, New York THE REAL DIFFERENCE. There Is a vast difference between remedying the bad features of a good system and abolishing a good system because some of its features are not what they should be. The Republicans are responsible for the great good that has come from a protective tariff. Now that it is apparent that there must be changes in the schedules, it is up to the Republicans to make them, not up to the Democrats to destroy the whole system of protecting, thereby cutting off the good with the bad. And , along this thought the Washington Post in a recent issue says:. The tariff reform Republican submits a simple and Jogical proposition. He believes in protection because he has seen it do all that has ever been claimed for it. Its originators recommended the policy on the ground that it would build up American industries and benefit American labor. It' has performed both these services. We are now in the front rank of the producing nations, and our labor is the most intelligent and best paid In the world. The man who works with his hands, under the stars and stripes Is better off than the wage earner of any other country. . But there has come a time when the very success of protection demands a revision of some of the tariff schedules. Certain industries have been so advanced by it have become so independent of its favors-1 that they can afford to do without it. What originally was a legitimate fostering care bestowed upon a struggler, has become a bounty paid to a VSK ravish - -v4-t0-t.-i-j-fciM yMn.,n TIL.. longer charge protection with duties where none is needed? Why not, as Mr. McKinley, in his last speech at Buffalo recommended, revise the schedules in the interests of withdrawing protection where it has done its-'task and extending it in directions where it is promiseda fruitful field? iiauuius tuc ittim lur revis ion to men who do not believe in protection, but would if they could uproot the policy wholly, would be to create a condition of affairs of the utmost gravity. Panic would inevitably result. For rail at it as the free-traders do, protection is now so widely and materially grounded in our development and operations that it can not be disposed of as an evil as a cancer to be tit out aConce and done for. The Democrats discovered -this in 1S94, when, in a juggle to hide some, foolish and reckless campaign promises, they passed a tariff bill which made them ridiculous. Framed in the House by professed freetraders, and recast in tha Senate by openly avowed protectionists, it was a piece of patchwork to beat the band; and the country seized the first ppportunity to repudiate it. There Is a great difference between the man who wants the tariff revised on protection lines, and the man who wants it revised with a view of bringing In free trade as the national policy.

Capt; Fredenhall, of Manila Charged with Misappro- ! priating Funds.

SEQUEL TO GRAFT INQUIRY PROMINENT ARMY OFFICIALS . AND CIVILIANS SAID TO BE IM PLICATED IN THE SCANDAL NO OPENED UP. Manila. Rpnt. 13. Cantata Ira LFredenhall of quartermaster's depart ment was charged in the court of first Instance in this city with misappro priation of public funds. The filing of these charges is the culmination of extensive investiga tions by the insular authorities intc an alleged series of frauds perpetrat ed by members of the quartermaster's department in the Philippines. The Inquiry resulted, in the discovery of padded payrolls in quartermaster's shops, and grafting in the lease of lighters. Both officers, and civilians are implicated and courtmartial will follow the court proceedings. Major General Wood continued the inquiry originally begun by Major General Corbin. The result of the investigation has been a great saving in transportation funds and a decrease in graft, sucri as the manufacture of furniture, etc., in the shops for the private use of officers and civilians. High officials in the army and government are said to have been the beneficiaries. A dinner that was at once a farewell to Governor Ide and a welcome to his successor, General Smith, was given by a number of citizens of the Philippines. Speeches eulogistic of the Ide administration were made by several Filipinos, and representatives of American, British and Filipino interests greeted General Smith. In an address retiring, Governor General Ide reviewed the work of his administration, calling attention to the substantial progress that has been made. He said that the foundation for commercial and industrial development has been laid, but while much has been accomplished there is much remaining to be done. Twenty PersonsMisslng.

ECEXT events In Ph iladelphia and Chicago have shown that the wrecking cf banks and the robbing of safe deposit vaults by men who go around with burglars' tools, masks and rejohx c. bell. v0ivers are not half as much to be feared as the ruining of financial j institutions by men looked upon as pillars of society. It was the get-rich-qulck Idea which proved the Nemesis of, Banker Paul O. Stensland of Chicago, ;of Banker, Frank K. Hippie and "Frenzied FinancierMAdoiph Segal of Philadelphia and of Banker Frank Bigelow. of Milwaukee. The Milwaukee financier erred 'through the faults of his son, pvho plunged into speculative schemes and dragged bis father from, the. path of, safe and conservative financeto' toatof .' crime, ruin and a felon's cell. ?Hpple. and Stensland both etartedfrbjrnV'and up'to certain stages of theirrespectlve careers seem to have pursuea'livSs'oftionesty a'nd Integrity. Thenthetenjpfhtion to embark in projects promising big returns came, and theygtook' the unjustifiable risks InvolvedS leaning" on the reputations theyh'adfbuiltjup as honest and reliablqmen toobtain'the support of others fori hazardous 'enterprises In Hippie's case religion and . philanthropy were used as acloaktohidedoings which, howevermuch softer terms might be used, were nothing less than swindling. Stensland, t who fled to Morocco to escape 'the consequences of his folly, but even there "was sought out and remanded to the authorities of bis country, is the, son 'of a poor Norwegian farmer. A few years ago it would have been said that he deserved great credit for working himself up to a position of honor(and responsibility in the community. He ""was a sailor as a DOLPR szaxru young man and started in business in Chicago in a small way, rising through energy and thrift. But he could not stand prosperity, and his fondness for big schemes thatjjcouldjnotbe undertaken without'assumlng big'risks was his undoing. Hippie's case was similar, but hiwas the strangest!of all. His was the case of a fc-ood ' man gone wrong and led wrong by a man with whom, It might have been supposed, a conservative financier, a man with a reputation to maintain, .would have had nothing to do. District Attorney John C. Bell, who is - prosecuting the surviving wreckers, of the Keal Estate Company of Philadelphia, declared in court that he could prove that Hippie, Segal and those cognizant of their doings were engaged. In a conspiracy and that as a result of 'their acts more than $5,000,000 was ab?rrr.cted from the institution for tho r.-' n j-.r.r. This was So Ads

16 and 17 Colonial Bu Prices Reasonable and gal, who, as a uutvior oi tne company put it, seemed to have hypnotized the president. Selral's career was meteoric. Twenty years ago be was a recent immigrant from Austria, speaking broken English and working over a boiling soap caldron in a cellar In a tenement district. The Invention of a new process for waxing paper yielded him $20,000. This gave him a start in business, and his persuasive manner enabled him to borrow money to any extent desired for all kinds of visionary projects. He built a sugar refinery for the purpose of selling It out to the sugar trust and succeeded in doing so, making about $1,000,000 on the deal. Later he tried the same game again, but this time could not sell and got left with the refinery on his bands. It is said he once overdrew his account at Hippie's bank $140,000, but Hippie, being inextricably involved, in Segal's schemes, had to honor the check. After Hippie's suicide his family found a hastily scribbled note, which read: "Xo one to blame but myself. Segal got all the money. I was fooled Into lending it to him. thinking his business good." The dead bank president was a plodding lawyer for years, and his reputation for integrity and safe methods led him to be made the custodian of many trustfunds, including those of churches and charitable Institutions. Outwardly he was so highly moral that nobody suspected him capable of doing a wrong thing, and when his fall came it carried misfortune to many innocent persons with It. Ills Position In the Matter.
