Tlie Journal says: "Interference in election affairs is a very serious True, but when did the Journal arrive at this conclusion? We have been of the opinion for years that the interference, by the corporations, in election affairs was a serious matter. In 1896, when the late MaWus A. Ilanmi "pulled off" 1 is fat frying stunt, and raised such a corruption fuuel as had never been dreamed of before, we thought the interference in that election, by the special interests, a serious matter." In 1900 when the stunt was repeated and the trusts protected interests "came through with their millions to interfere in that election w'e were, still of the opinion that it was, a serious matter. Yes" in "f-1904 'when the officers of the insurance companies thought it necessary to steal the money bi lnnping' to the policy holders and the widows and orphans, to corrupt and interfere in that election, we still thought it a serious matter.

It is a favorite expression of the devotes of the "system." Prosecuting Attorney Jerome is a great advocate of the "safe and sane" idea.

It is really amusing to read the favorable comments, by the Republican press, on Richard Croker since he apposed Hearst's election. He used to be referred to, by those sank papers as only a corrupt boss, but now he is a hero.

It was the of such men as Croker that inclined us to favor Hearst. to be unsalable when the crash comes. A home, whether a city house or a farm, is' the best investment in the world, and every one should strive to become his own landlord, and if It has to be bought on the Installment, plan or by giving a mortgage for deferred paynieut, and therefore having to pay even more than it would be worth for caah. yet it may be and, generally is the best investment a man ever makes, and the economies and self denials that the debt entails have often led to the education of the purchaser to habits of frugality and happiness. It la not, the home buyer that is advised to refuse to take chances, but the speculator who expects enormous profits bythe get-rich-quick route, who, buying at the top of the market, is a lucky individual if he is not stuck with something he cannot get his money out of even at a loss.

The presenh era of extravagance and high prices Is breeding millionaires, but the greatly increased cost of living, caused by inflation and Republican tariff protected trusts, Is not conducive to saving by those of limited Incomes, who will be the first to feel the downward trend of the pendulum of prices.
