Swansson yesterday underwent -the humiliation of having to ride, accom- panied by his wife, in a dirt cart from the Exposition Grounds to the boat in order to return to Richmond. Not a carriage Was to be had. The Governor had pressing engagements and could not afford to miss his train. So hailing a passing dirt cart, he and Mrs. Swansson ciimbed in and took seats with the driver. An Exposition offieta! exclaimed: “What! The Governor of Virginia and Mrs. Swansson in a wagon?’ “That's nothing,” replied the Gover- nor. “If I was an official of the Ex- position I would be riding in a carriage, 1 of you , .

DIED AS SHEKNELT INPEW AT PRAYER Mrs. Mary Remmler Passes Away From Heart Disease in Church,

JUST LIGHTED CANDLE

Death Came Too Quickly for the Last Rites of Church. During the solemn and impressive Catholic mass in the old Cathedral Thursday morning, and only a few min- utes after the priest had chanted “Lord be with us at the hour of our death,” death stole silently into the church and stood beside the bowed form of one in the congregation who had echoed the prayer. Mrs. Mary Remmler, 74 years old, passed away as she was praying, kneel- ing in her pew with her face upturned to the altar. Death from heart disease caused her head to drop suddenly on her hands on the back of the pew in front. This movement is so frequent in service that those In the pews around did not realize what had happened. But a woman kneeling beside her heard a quick gasp. She leaned over | and discovered that the kneeling figure | was lifeless. The woman whispered to those around her. Someone hurried to the altar. A priest came down hoping that life was not altogether gone so that he might give the last rites of the church. But all that he could do was to pronounce the service over the dead. Just before the stroke of heart dis- ease came Mrs. Remmiler had left her w and approached the May altar, where she lighted one of the candles. Her family was notified at their home, 419 South Second street. Her sun, Adolph Remmier, came in time to the body of his mother In the pew bowed head. Another son, August Remmier, a Deputy Sheriff, arrived soon after. They had the body removed to their hom Mrs. memmier’s husband died years Her only children ying are two sons. She has several dren.

Stev- ens, who has had charge of the Panama Ganal ' " work, as saying that the deep waterway from the - Lakes to the Gulf would be worth twice as much This is the - opinion of an engineer and practical man of af- ae fairs of the first rank in capacity and: breadth of s ¥iew. It is the opinion of every intelligent man ae _who has given thought to the subject, '__ Although Mr. Stevens referred parttcularly to _ the benefits which St. Louis would enjoy from the _ deep waterway, St. Louis would not monopolize them. They would be equally distributed among all the commercial interests of the lakes and the valley. They would be shared by the commerce of the entire country.

Moyer and Haywood, are organizing an intimidat- ing conspiracy and are insisting that the cause of labor be identified with the prisoners’ case, re- gardless of their guilt or innocence. In Chicago, Jaxon, who assumed to represent the cause of labor in his correspondence with the President concerning the Moyer-Haywood trial which precipitated the controversy with Mr. Roosevelt, has been expelled from the labor or- ganization. Here in St. Louis the Central Trades and Labor Union declined to adopt a resolution which was regarded as too extreme in utterance, and referred it to a special committee for modification. The union will be wise if it carefully refrains from committing the indiscretion for which the Presi- dent has been criticised, by omitting any declara- tion about the guilt or innocence of the accused men or any appeal to class feeling, but limiting its expression to a demand for a fair trial and a just conclusion under the law. In New York a ringing note of dissent from a campaign of intimidation, or any extreme hyster- ical action was sounded by Hermann Robinson at the Sunday meeting - of the Central Federated Union. Mr. Robinson. said: “Don’t be carried away ment, but be level headed. Let us act as if we were in our proper senses. Organized labor will demand a fair trial for Moyer and Haywood, but don't create the idea that organized labor is up in arms against President Roosevelt. The original letter in reference to Moyer and Haywood was a privileged communication and was never intended for publication. The second letter was not direct- ed to a labor organization, but to a political asso- ciation. The man in Chicago to whom the Presi- dent sent the letter has been expelled from the ranks of labor for using its name. It is our duty as labor men to show our respect to President Roosevelt. Do not let us place ourselves in the position of being made a laughing stock in the community. We can show sympathy for Moyer and |Haywood, but at the same time remain self-re- specting citizens.” This is the sound and sensible attitude. It is the keynote of the policy which will promote law and order, redeem labor unions from the reproach of attempting to incite a class war which some of its foolish leaders have brought upon them, and by allaying passions on both sides will work for justice. The general adoption of this attitude will save organized labor from the possible folly, in the event of the just conviction of Moyer and Haywood, of upholding murderers as martyrs to the cause of labor and of indorsing murder: and violence as the approved methods of promoting union labor interests. By dissociating the cause of organized labor from the errors and crimes of individuals who as- sume to represent it, the labor unions can teach a lesson to organized capital, whose representatives show a disposition to rally around the standard of lawless plunder set up by its Harrimans, Ryans and Rockefellers. by hvyster. or excite-

Architectural ¢Assistance. To the gg of the Post-Dispatch. I notice in a recent issue of your pa- +0 that Building Commissioner Smith opposing a bill introduced into the Municipal Assembly by President O’Reilly of the Board of Public Im- rovements, authorizing the appointment of additional architectural help in his office for the erection of the new municipal buildings. Allow me to sug- gest that in my — the Building Commissioner has e right side of the argument. If a commission is appointed to erect these buildings and this com- mission is to receive the schedule re- muneration recognized by the Amer- ican Institute of Architects for its services, then it should be held respon- sible for its work, and we city should not be put to the additional expense of paying twice for one service. ST. LOUIS ARCHITECT. Was Ben Barnes Right? To the ag of the Post-Dispatch. I was very much interested in the Sunday Post-wispatch’s story of William January, the escaped convict, who for nine years had lived an industrious and respectable life in Kansas City under the name of Charles Anderson. ‘ine fact that he had a wife and baby and had built up a good reputation and a pros- perous business, made me sympathize with those who asked the President to pardon him. I do not approve of the action of Ben T. Barnes, the Spee who informed on January In order to the reward and to “come clean” w th the police. Barnes pleads the majesty of the law in addition to his selfish mo- tive, and says that people should praise instead of condemning him for turnirt, |* up an escaped convict. If he did not know the character of the man and of his effort to rehabilitate himself, this might be accepted. Techn.cally, he was right; but if the letter of the law were followed in every case great injustice would be done. He ought. to have taken into con- sideration January's evident repentance and sincere purpose to reform and to live down his past record; he ought to have considered the man’s actual situa- tion, character and work; he ought to have thought of his wife and waby. Justice ought always to be tempered with humani.v and mercy and the law interpreted according to the _ circum- stances of each case. This ts true ethics, in my opinion. ont 3 s believe ans most people agree with HUMANITY. Dog Silage. To the Editor of the Shost -Dispa Why do we have dog "Stebore in St. Louis? Such sickening cruelty is un- known in at least two other large cities. The sights and sounds experienced by owners at the pounds is an injustice. To me there is something disturbingly human in the pleading of a dog’s eyes for mercy. The absence of a license tag is not due to unwillingness on its part to obey the law? eatching and smothering seems profitable to a y ed individuals. If peeple won't pay tax and the dogs must be killed, ten’ t there a more humane way, even if more expensive, or as men express it, im- practicable. MRS. W. W. WILCOX. Wait for the Trial.
