THAN Mr. ItooBovclt testified before the campaign fund Investigating commit tee that ho know that II. C. Frlck contributed heavily to the Itoosevelt campaign fund In 1904. Mr. Frlck is ono of the strong men In the Steel Trust. 8o are J. Plerpont Morgan and George W. Perkins. Roosevelt said no contributions were accepted with tho expectation of fav ors. Everyone familiar with Dig Busi ness and Dig Politics known that It is 'not customary to specifically hang "ex pectatlqns" on campaign contributions. Things aren't done that way and It Is julte likely that HooHcvelt ordored tho (return of tho contribution of tho man Who asked to bo appointed minister to llelglura. Ho wa a crass amateur and o violated nil the etiquette of tho Same. Whatever Itoosuvolt may say and there is no one In American public Jlfo who can piotest inoio vociferous ly thero nro n few facts that speak Yor themselves, well worthy of the con sideration of the American people. Judge Pnrkor charged In 1301 that tho corporations wore financing Boose volt's campaign. Itoosevelt In u char acteristic oulburst declared Hint the Judge's charge was "atrociously false." Well, tho present Investigation bus proved conclusively that tho corpora tions did llnnnce thu Itoosevelt cam paign. John 'Plorpont Morgan and II. 0. Vrlck, each contributed more tbnu $100,000 to the Itoosevelt campaign. Ilarrlman and his assoclateH contrib uted $250,000. Morgan and Frlck were the big tnen In the United States Steel corporation. It is not charged that they asked any favors when they gave tho money. They knew the game too well. Ati far as tho record shown, they wore high-minded patriots who wanted to see a great man chosen president. Uut along In 11107 Morgan and I-'rlck and the other Dig Men of the Steel Trust decided thai they wanted the rennessce Coal K. Iron company. They Deeded that company In their business, Ilul tho TonucxHcu Coal fi. Iron was do ing very well ami did not want to be swallowed up by Its huge rival, Then tho Morgan and l-'rlck Inter ' osts that'H tho way Itiey refer to the "combination lu Wall Street tho Mor gan and Frlck Interests went to their .great and good friend and asked "per mission" to "take over" Its fast gorw- Ing rlvul.

Roosuvell may protest and piotest unci call every one lu the country a liar, but thoHo are the facts. .Morgan gae $ir,0,000, but did not express iiny "expectations."

REPUBLICAN PAPER FLOPS Tho Xcnla Republican, for 25 years a staunch advocate of Republicanism and tho most Influential paper in Greene county, has bolted President Taft and tho Republican ticket, and will support Governor Woodrow Wil son. In an editorial the paper In ef fect said that the Republican party in this campaign Is In sympathy with the dangerous Interests that have in tho past prospered too greatly, often by corrupt means, undor O. O. P. regimes, Tho party, It Is asuortcd, has disinte grated until it contains less than a third of tho voters. Tho editor sayB tho peoplo arc entitled to a change and they can get It by voting the Demo cratic ticket. An oxcerpt from tho editorial reads: "The political revolu tion which has been Impending for years seems due. The peoplo want a change. Aro they Justified? Wo think they aro. Tho section that still re tains the name Republican contains less than one third, perhaps not more than n fourth of tho voters at the pres ent moment. It offers no real opposi tion to tho dangerous class that has prospered too grcatiy, and often by corrupt mothods. The editor of tho Republican Intends to vote for Wil son." 4. WHY TRUSTS MULTIPLIED It doesn't require any testimony from Democrats to show that tho "In visible government" which Roosevelt complains of Is a paitueishlp between big buslneHS mid the Republican par ty. Thu testimony of Republicans can bo cited to show that Is true. The testimony of the same gentlemou shows that Roosevelt, whllo president, was ono of the paitners lu this "Invisi ble government." George R. Sheldon of New York, treasurer of the Repub lican national committee in 1008 told tho scnato investigating committee, that tho records of Treasurer Hllss of tho 1904 Republican national commit tee, showed that tho trusts contributed 7.114 per cent of Teddy's 1004 cam paign fund, lu tho tight of thu above testimony, many ran see why tho trusts multiplied so rapidly during thu Roosevelt regime. Senator La Fol- lette, a good Republican, says that dur ing thu presidential administration of the Third Term Party leader the trusts multiplied eight fold and In creased their capital stock from $:t, 000,000,000 lo 12,000,00(1,000. 4.

EXPORTERS Advised To Accept Methods Of South Americans Waablngton, Oct. 10 Tho echoes of John Barrett's appeal to American business men to wnke up and reach out for tho great trado of tho southern American hemisphere, In view of tho early opening of tho Panama ennui, aro still reverberating through the ex ecutive department buildings of the national capital, nnd It Is believed that what he said on his return from Eu rope, where ho wan brought face to face with the highly organized com' merclal mechanism whereby that con tinent Is strengthening Its hold on South American trade, will result in unusual efforts on the part of the fed eral government to Induce the Ameri can exporters to study tho people to our south, and try to secure a fair sharo of their trade. "Tho government has already done much," said a high official of the de partment, "but It has been unable to awaken the interest of the American explorer, who neglects that great field, or, if not neglecting it, offers his goods In such a way as to run counter to South American customs nnd preju dices. In the first place, our exporters do not send Into that country traveling men who speak Spanish. In the second place, they do not publish their cata logues nnd prlco lists in Spanish, nor state their prices In tho Spanish coin values, in tho third place, they do not consult thu preferences of tho South Americans In packing goods. In the fourth place, they do not cater to the South American custom of long credits. "But why continue? The list of Ametlcnii omissions so far as South American tiade Is concerned, is a long one, and in consequence, notwithstand ing the rnct that we aro constantly looking ror an extension or our foreign markets, so as to dispose or our sur plus goods, wo utterly neglect the sim ple means which would entitle us to share lu the rapidly growing trade ot South Amorlca, already aggregating many hundreds of millions of dollars a year. "The department of commerce nnd labor, however, will continue its ef forts to have American exporters seo tho Importance of this great market, right at our doors, and It may be that by the time tho canal is ready for use, we shall have come to understand something of the means which must be adopted If thnt market is to become our own. "Mr. Barrett's ndvlce, given after his recent tour through Europe, was tlmoly. It wns spoken, too, by a man whoso olllclal position gives him the right to speak on thnt question, and I sincerely hope thnt what ho has said will add considerably to our depart ment mail, by Inducing American ox porters to wrlto us asking for Informa tion concerning theso southern mar kets and how best to reach them." It Is Mr. Barrett's heller that If tho American exporters do not get busy within tho noxt decade Europo will havo entrenched ItBelf so securely as to make dlslodgmcnt quite out of tho question. The oponing of the canal, ho says, will stir further interest in southern trado, and perhaps drive tho Amerlcun exporters to comblno for tho purpose of getting a share of It. 4. NOTED Dog.
