[From the Outlook. lad.] From this time until the election the wise ettisen will be on his guard igalnst exaggerated reports, lying reports and fiagriVt forgeries. It is easy to set these in circulation; It Is Imposdble to kill them when once they ere darted on their travels. For example, some conscienceless reporter bad attrlboted to Judge Painter the saying that "a dollar a day Is enough for a laboring man." This particular liak lacked mvenUre genius and had to borrow an ild lie, tor the same saying was attrlb3tsd to Mr. Beecher years ago. He ms also s stupid liar, tor be ventured

might hare written" and put his name to It. A criminally careless reporter, or, more likely, s shrewd liar, seized on this fictitious letter and gave it circulation as one which Mr. Roosevelt really did write. A New York Journal a few weeks ago reported that Sir. J. Plerpont' Slorgan had vlalted Oyster Bay in bis yacht that the president and Mr. Morgan bad a conference and that as a result of certain pledgee then made Mr. Morgan promised Mr. Roosevelt his support The whole story was a lie. without ev?n a thread of truth in it Mr. Morgan had not vlalted Oyster Bay, no conference had been held between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Morgan or between any aepreeentatlves of these gentlemen. and no pledges of any kind had passed between them. The whole story was a fabrication from beginning to end. So Is the story published editorially In the New York Times that Mr. Cortelyou. the chairman of the Republican national committee. Is collecting campaign funds from great corporations. with Implied or expressed pledges that the contributors shall be eaempt from legal proceedings if Mr. Roosevelt is elected. To be perfectly explicit,' Its reported “concrete instance" Is an absolute, unqualified falsehood, with no grain of truth in or under it to give It even a semblance of. reality. Another lie of a similar character is one which we believe originated with the Pittsburg Post-that “in some of the southern stataa, notably Alabama, the president baa constituted a board of white and negro politicians, to whom has been remitted the control at federal patronage, with the negroes in the majority.” The story- is a pure fabrication. The only negro with whom the president has consulted about appointments la Booker T. Washington. What the beet southern people think about his appointments in the southern states, “notably Alabama,” and about bis - consulting with Dr. Washington is indicated by the following recent article on this subject from the Montgomery Dally Evening Times, a white Democratic paper: WASHINGTON AND THE PRESIDENT. If Booker Washington, as charged, is really responsible for the presidential appointments In Alabama, we have very little to find fault with him in the matter of advice to the president on this score. Ws are basing this admission on the presumption that the Tuskcgee educator Is In fact sponsor for certain selections by Mr. Roosevelt in this state credited to Washington's Intercession. The Times will go further then this In admitting that It does not recognise in Booker Washington's compliance with the request tor Information about men in Alabama whom the president may consider worthy of office as “dabbling in politics." It Is a matter that any White man'or Dsmqerat would dignify with attention if called upon to that and by the president. The Timas will soy this for Mr. Roosevelt, as it has before had occasion tp say: That no Republican president

When Horace Greeley was editor of tbs New York Tribune ha printed soma statement In the editorial columns of that {taper and accompanied it with

the following laconic reply: “Ydh ins,! you villain!'’ The men who invent political roorbacks in' a campaign are’ liars, and it were well if all reputable people stigmatized them and their

false reports accordingly.

REPLIES TO THE TIMES.

Preseat Proof of UVon. the New York Tribuns. OcL U.] George Brinton Chandler, making speech ut n Republican meeting last evening In the village of Hempstead, answered the charge of the Tithes that George B. Cortelyou had Lcen selected as chairman of the Republican national committee because he had obtained information os secretary of commerce and labor to aid him In collecting campaign subscriptions from the large corporations. The speech was recalved with enthusiasm iu Mr. Cortelyou'# home town. Mr. Chandler said in pgrt: “As secretary of the department of commerce and labor Mr. Cortelyou bad sereral other things to do besides spying on trusts and railroads. In two ghort years be had converted a chaotic mam of detail Into homogeneous and methodical organization, dlffsYlng In no material aspect from tbs department of state or the department of the Interior. Ha bad to deal with problems of Immigration, problems of the canang, problems relating to manufactures and fisheries. He had to grasp and fit Into this.system tbs great, overshadowing problems of labor and capital—all the questions of domestic and foreign labor, trade unions, cost of firing, wages, conditions of employment. He also was Intrusted with the Invariant function of collecting data and contributing. in so far as might fie, to the solution of the vexed problem of trusts and combinations. “When Mark Hanna died a great organiser, a patriotic dtisan and a noble man waa taken away. He bad bean the business head of tbs Republican party. He had died on the eve of a presidential campaign. The quest was for s man to fill his place. Theodore Roosevelt, with that quick decision and unerring Judgment which have been among the prime secrets of bis success, pointed to George B. Cortelyou and said. 'There is the man.' It is a significant fact that whan he was appointed the New York Times, which has since been betrayed into a singularly unenviable position, complimented the country on the distinct raising of tbs tons of national campaigns by the appointment of a man of Mr. Cortelyou’s caliber mad

character.

“How baa that aatoctloo been vindicated T Within three weeks the national headqdkrtara assumed the order and stability of aa old Institution. The Democrats wars at first surprised.

expected from s politician of the caliber of David B. Hill. But It Is grotesque, If It were not pathetic, to see great newspapers which have posed os custodians of the public conscience prostitute themselves by becoming the purveyor# to the political methods of Mr. Hill and Pat McCirren. The character of the New York Times especially has suffered gravely in the opinion of thousands of Its reader*. It Is a serious strain on Journalistic honor when even the Outlook, edited by Lyman Abbott, a Journal conducted In an atmosphere of conscience and mind attained by few If any other periodicals In America, has to come out and openly charge the old and reputable Timas with deliberate falsehood and der.JUDGE PARKER REGISTERS-,

[From Um New York 0«ul] N. Y, Oct. 14.—A lone

horseman rods into this city today and pulled up in trout of tbs old pottery, where the regietntioo board of the Third district of the Ninth ward waa at work. A young ptemhar of the

board looked up and ashed: “Do you want to fagtotarl’* “Yea. sir." was .the reply. “Your full name, please.“Alton Brooke Parker.”

“You know we ask tbs question as a

matter of form. Judge.”

The Judge nodded, but hla aye twinkled aa he' tumbled to. the fact that the young man had failed to recognise him.

It la said that Mr. Roaaevett to a speech delivered before the New York Wool Exchange pn OcL 27, 186®, retorted to the farmers as the “basest set in the land.”. This statement appears on a leaflet sent out by the national Democratic committee, but wa wish to enter our-protest against that sort of campaigning. It Is very cheep end can do the party no good. More than that no sane man believes that Mr. Roosevelt ever made such a remark In a public speech. He denles/lv'aud the committee will do well to take him at hla word and be done wlth such pitiful

claptrap.

The Time*-Dispatch Is very anxious to aee Mr. Roosevelt defeated, but It Is unwilling to stoop to mud flinging. Let ns have a clean campaign.

They planned ont how they could defeat Dr. Julius Way, the Republican candidate for re-election. Hand baa been piqued becanaa the Republicans would not elect him king of the county, and in the last campaign he fonght the Republican candidate for Senator, and his actions this year so far show that he will be as much a traitor Co the party which he misrepresented for seven years, as be was last year.

He came, said he knew of the claim, acknowledged it* validity, sad seemed to be fair in everything, except as to the v .lue, he. of course wanting to obtain the interest as cheaply as possible. On s subsequent visit, Mr. Fry, an hisown account snggested that, instead of a cask price. Mr. bwain accept a number of lota, of average value, equal iu area to the size of his claim. I stated to him that Mr. Swain did not care to take the lots, but would do m In order to settle the matter with as little damage to the Landis people aa possible, but this they subsequently refused to do. ( Dr. Way knew nothing of what had been done in the matter until about the first of January, 1902, when 1 mentioned to him the fact that I had this interest tor sale and offered to sell it to him. He considered the matter for a few days and then said he would buy the interest. This he did, taking Mr, 8* sin’s deed, dated January 13,1903, and paid Mr, Swain 9500 In cash for it, Charles K lamdls, the writer of the article above mentioned, also came to Cape May Court House to examine the title sod expressed himself aa believing It to be good, and only questioned the siae of the claim, and this one item of tbs amount of the claim he has stated truthfully.
