Why Lobbying is Safe and Easy.
United States Senator Gore declar
es that Republican National Com
mitteeman Hamon offered him a
$25,000, bribe. Republican National
Committeeman Hamon declares that
Senator Gore lies. Commenting on
this situation, a Republican Organi
zation newspaper organ here in
Philadelphia sapiently observes: "It
is still only one man's word against
another's, and the knowledge that
he would be unable to produce any
evidence to prove the truth of his
assertions should have led Mr. Gore
to recognize the advisability of re
maining silent. A man who will of
fer a bribe will not hesitate upon oc
casion to deny having done so, and
if he had exercised ordinary com
mon sense Mr. Gore must have re
cognized the folly and the futility of
his proclamation,"
Here is the Organization code of
morals in a nutshell. The honest
man who is offered a bribe must
fw allow the insult in silence unless
the* briber makes a point of con
ducting the deal in the presence of
two or three witnesses who can be
depended upon to give truthful evi
dence of the negotiations. If the
fcnbee exposes the briber withoufi pos
sessing sufficient proof of his turpi
tude to send the tempter to jail he
is * fool.
The fact probably is that a great
ra.my honest men in the legislative
service. Federal, State and municipal,
fba'e the Organization view. Because
they do, the work of the lobbyist
is comparatively safe and easy. Be
caas; they do, some lobbyists and
ex-lobbyists, who ought to be be
hind the bars, are free to mingle
w.ih respectable men and are high
ly regarded by a large element of
the community. if Senator Gore's
charges are true, he may still be a
fool, as the Organization organ in
timates; but the Government ser
vice would be cl.'aner if it contain
ed a larger pi-opoition of fools of
his variety.?Phi'adeiphia Record.
Why He Advertises.
A prominent business man of
Michigan explains -why he advertises
and why he uses newspapers for that
purpose as follows:
"I advertise in the newspapers be
cause I am not ashamed of my goods
or my work and to let people know
about myself, my store and my stock;
because I cater to the intelligent
class, and they read the papers, and
I believe in increasing by business;
because I can talk to more people
through the newspapers at a great
er distance in less time and at a
uiore reasonable price than in any oth
er way; because my newspaper adver
tising has brought me greater returns
for the jeast expenditure of any adver
tising I have done; because when I
write an ad, I am not too stingy to
Pay for placing it in the best pos
ti'ole medium or to have it inserted
k'O it is attractive; because I know
ad is seen and read by every
one in the bouse where the paper
goes."?Exchange.

The Indians and Their Guardian.
The story told by one of the Choc
taws to the Gore Investigating com
mittee Is sa'.d to have made a pro
found impression upon the persons
who heard It. But that cannot be
due to cu.vthing in the story, for It j
was not in we least unusual; It 1
u.uat be that public conscience--con
science In public matters?has oeeu .
stirred, ana this is encouraging.
Thj Indians have been for more
than a century the so-called wards
of the nation. They have been rob- ^
bed by the Government and robbed
by individuals under the eyes of
the Government, and they have been
bled on account of the neglect of |
the Government. Whenever the
speculators wanted hteir lands they
hud to move to some lands that no
white man hankered after. Whenev
er the pioneers invaded a reserva
tion the Indian had to sell out for
what he could get and go anywhere
he was sent. In many instances he
was sent to a climate he was unac
customed to, and under which he suf
fered severely. In others he was
planted on sterile soil and admonish- !
ed to cultivate it after the white
man's style. He was often cheated
by the Indian agents; he was regular
ly cheated by the contractors who
undertook to furnish him with sup
plies.
in tile present ease the Government
did not rob him, and it did not ac
tually Invite outsiders to rob him,
it simply neglected him and gave the
outsiders the opportunity of fleecing
him. The Indian has streaks of ex
treme &! rewdn'ess, but in the main
he is still commercially an infant.
He does not suffiicently reverence
the Almighty Dollar, and he has not
acquired the 1'abit of thinking for
the future. Collectively he still needs
a guardian. The Government assum
ed this relation and undertook to sell
bis mineral lands for him, and then
it was too busy to pay any attention
to his needs. The lands were not
sold; the Indians waited impatiently
for their money; McMurray saw his
opportunity and came pretty near
bagging $3,000,00?) in commissions.
The Choctaws have within a few
years paid lawyers $300,000, besides
a large part of a fee of $750,000/^rhich!
the Interior Department permitted
McMurray to get away with, and
they entered into wasteful contracts
with McMurray because the Govern
ment neglected them. It is about
time that somebody got stirred up.

But the tariff legislation enacted by
the extra session of Congress last
year so dissatisfied such a large num

Oldest Living Creature.
What species of animal lives to
the greatest age is a question that
has not been satisfactorily answered,
but It is contended that a giant tor
toise brought to the London Zoologi
cal Gardens from Mauritius about
ten years ago is probably the oldest
living creature whose age is positive
ly known.
This tortoise, which weighs a quar
ter cf a ton, has lived at least 160
years, as historic documents prove.
It is said that 100 years is a good
old age for an elephant and that
10 other animals except certain birds
and reptiles and the whale reach
this span of years. In 1821 there
died at Peterborough, in England, a
tortoise whose age was said to be
220 years. One instance, at least, is
known of a tortoise which was still
growing when 80 years old.?Ex.

SONS OF PREACHERS.
Facts Show Most of Them Prove Suc
cessful in Life.
A French scientist lias made an
lavestteaMon to show that ministers'
sons make up a disproportionately
targe number of men in all conspicu
ous calli'iRs. Hy study of the statis
tics and by an even cursory observa
tion, we can easily gee how striking
ly true it Is, especially in our own
country and Great Britain, and, at
the saint time, how inaccurate and
inexcusable the flippant disparage
ment of preachers' sons one often
hears.
One glance ot the men in public
life proves 'he contention true. The
three most eminent instances to-day
are Governor Hughes, of New York;
Governor Harmon, of Ohio, and ex
Governor Folk, of Missouri, while the
lata Justice Brewer, whose place in
the United States Supreme court
bench Mr. Hughes has been chosen
to fin. was the son of a missionary
and born In Syria. It is no trouble
to call up scores of them, know
ing that thdy will be only a small J
part of tho total list. There are
Senator Palliver, Mr. Norton, secre
tary to President Taft; Mornay Wil
liams, Oliie James, Levi P. Morton
?but tho number is too large to
write down. ?
Three members of the Asquiih min
istry arc ministers' sons?David Lloyd
George, Augustine Blrrell and Rich
ard Burdon Haldane. The late Sir
Charles Tupper, of Canada, was a
minister's son also. There is a long
list of the illustrious dead who were
potent in our past history. In this
group Grover Cleveland, William Mc
Kinley, Chester A. Arthur, Gen. John
B. Gordon, Gov. James P. Eagle, Ed
ward Everett, Henry Clay, and oth
ers.
It is not difficult to find the rea
sons for this phenomenon. For one
thing, they usually get a better ed
ucation than other boys. The atmos
phere of cul'ure was greater in their
homes. Even to-day, when culture Is
so diffused, the minister's home Is
equal to the best. That both stim
ulated the taste for an education and
gave him a special opportunity. The
leading schools of the past have been
denominational schools, and minis
ters have been their founders and
trustees, and in many cases teach
ers. For those and other good rea
sons, their children have always
been given special concessions and
social encouragements.
Brought up in homes in which the
sense of public values and the sen
timents of public welfare are in
their atmosphere and education, they
are trained in the most effective way
for public life. It would reverse the
laws of both heredity and environ
ment if they did not rise above the
average. They also see something
of the world, for their fathers do.
They usually grow out of the, provin
cial and local.
When Joseph W. Folk was chosen
attorney of St. Louis, he went after
grafters and startled the nation.
His father was an eminent lawyer be
fore he became a preacher.
Of course, we must confess to
such instances as Robert G. Ingersoll,
the James brothers and James J.
Jeffries. But they are freaks, what
the scientists would call "sports," a
curious case of atavism; or the pro
duct of forces for which their father
was not responsible, except in a
general way; or the victims of that
extreme altruism which often prompts
to public service at the expense of
private interests.?St Paul Pioneer

Champion Wheat Grower.
Wake county Is the champion coun
ty for corn and cotton, and I feel
sure Randolph is the banner wheat
county. On yesterday, August 8th,
Mr. Paddy Swain, who lives a little
west of Liberty, in this township,
threshed off of four acres 208 bush
els and didn't count any wheat that
shattered out in handling, neither
did he count any tailings. Mr. Swain
planted 20 acres in wheat last fall
and raised 620 bushels. On this
same ground he raised near 400 bush
els of oats last year.
Mr. Swain started in this world
some 20 years ago without a dollar
and not a foot of land, and now he
has three large farms, all joining.?
