RICH RESIDENT OF CHINA ARRIVES WITH TWO WIVES Left Three in Hongkong and Is Not Allowed to Land in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23—The im- migration officials of this port encoun- tered a new problem when the arrival of the Pacific mail liner Korea from the Orient with H. Bosman, a wealthy resi- dent of Hongkong, who was one of the vessel’s passengers, desired to iand ac- companied by two wives. Mr. Bosman frankly confessed that he believes in plural marriages and not only has he the two wives who are ac- companying him on this trip, but states that he left three mofe wives at his thome in Hongkong. The trio with their children;. the is- sue of Bosman’s marriage with one of the wives now with him, are detained aboard the Korea until the immigration officials decide what shall be done in the matter. Bosman is reputed to be several times a millionaire. and is one of the most prominent land cwners of Hongkong. He is .a Eurasian, his father having been of English birth..while his mother was a Chinese. PETTIGREW SAYS REPUBLICANS TRIED 10 BRIBE HIM IN 1904 Former Senator Declares He Was _ Offered $10,000 to Work for Watson. SALEM, 8S. D., Sept. 28.—While tra- veling with William J. Bryan from Sioux Falls to Mitchell, former Senator R. F. Pettigrew today publicly an- nounced that four years ago he had been approached by the Republican Na- tional Committee through a former Unietd States Senator with an offer of $10,000 if he would deliver 10 speeches, at such places as the Committee would dictate, in support of the candidacy of Thomas Watson of Georgia, the People’s party candidate for President. Mr.. Pettigrew said that, with the view to ascertaining what was behind the offer, he wrote his.Senator friend and asked him if the amount could not be increased to $20,000, but the reply was that they were not inclined to give one man that much. Senator Pettigrew declared that he declined the offer and conducted an in- vestigation, with the result that he sat- isfied himself that,the Republican party financed, in a large measure, Mr. Wat- son’s campaign. CHICAGO-CINCINNATI GAME IS POSTPONED TO FRIDAY CINCINNATI, Sept. 28.—To avoid the possibility of the game being thrown out on a technicality the postponed game between Chicago and Cincinnati, which it had been planned to play to- day, has been deferred until Friday and there will be ne National League ball game in this city today. The league constitution provides for the playing off of postponed games “during a subsequent series’’ and as the Chicago-Cincinnati game series would not properly begin until tomorrow, the technical point was raised that a game today would not be played “‘during’”’ this series. The race being so close, President Herrmann of the Cincinnati club de- cided to be on the safe side and today announced the postponement of _ the game until next Friday. ——EE

VOTED FOR GOVERNOR

But. Present Opponent Says He Did Not Then Know Candidate’s Record.

Charles E. West, attorney-general of Oklahoma, whose official activity start- ed the controversy that has resulted in the resignation of Gov. Haskell as treasurer of the national Democratic Committee and in ‘the unprecedented epistolary-duel between President Roose- velt and William J. Bryan, is at the Southern Hotel. The attorney-general is a small man— about 5 feet 4 inches in height. He is smooth-faced, small-featured and boy- ish-looking. He was dressed Monday in a brownish cutaway suit and a tan- colored flat-topped derby. “T have nothing to say, nothing to say about this controversy,’ he exclaimed. “T am not interested in the matter per- sonally, only officially. The case against the Prairie Gas and Oil Co. is still pending in the Supreme Court of Okla- homa and I do not want to talk about it. ‘T prought the proceedings against the Prairie Gas Company in the district court of Logan county and Gov. Haskell began the proceedings in the Supreme Court to prohibit me from prosecuting the case. The second case was decided against-me and I now have a motion pending in the Supreme Court for a re- hearing. Disagrees With the Court, ‘The Court agrees with the Governor,”’ West added with some warmth, “and I don’t agree with either of them. “And I don’t intend to," he went-:on. ‘But it,is not my place to talk until aft- er the Supreme Court of the United States shall have passed upon the mat- See. : “Why don’t you ask Fiaskell about it?’’ West replied to a subsequent ques- tion for more facts about the Prairie Gas case. ‘‘He’ll spout for you.’’ “How do you explain Gov. Haskell's conduct in prohibiting you from prose- cuting the gas company?’ West was asked. “He has given several explanations himself,’’ West replied. ‘I don’t know which is true. I'm not a mind-reader. Not pia, te Run State. “Haskell says [I’m trying to run the State of Oklahoma. I think I’m only trying to run the Attorney-General’s of- fice in Oklahoma.”’ In regard to the national aspect - the controversy, West said: “The people of Oklahoma are heartily in favor of Bryan. He came-‘to our State and helped us to get our consti- tution. Gov. Haskell is not connected with teh national! campaign now, and 1} don’t see that he is an issue. The people of Oklahoma understand all about the controversy in our State and they wil] settle it.’’ Asked if he would be a candidate for Governor next time, Mr. West replied evasively. He said Haskell’s term has ‘More than two years yet to run, and under the Oklahoma constitution a Gov- ernor is not eligible to re-election. ~ West Voted for Haskell, In response to a question whether he thought Gov. Haskell’s action in pre- venting the prosecution of the Prairie Co. was in the interest of the Standard “_

WOUNDED MAN SAVED BY BLOOD FROM VEINS OF ASSAILANT Prisoner Taken From Jail to Hos- pital Where Transfusion Is Performed. NEW YORK, Sept. 2—Jacob Van Evera, a farmer, residing near Randall, Mentgemery County, saw an Italian reaming abeut his farm with a gun yesterday. Van Evera erdered the man te leave, and en his refusal, the men clinched, and the gun was discharged, the bullet entering Van Evera’s thigh. He was hurried te a hespital at Amster- dam. Van Evera had lest se much bleod that the surgeons feared to amputate his leg and concluded that the last re- sort to save his life was te transfuse bioed, and the Italian, whe was a tres- passer en the Van Evera farm, censent- ed te give up the blood. The Italian was hurried from the Ceunty Jail te the hespital, and abeut @ quart of his bleed was transfused into Van Evera’s bedy. Van Evera’s cendi- tion is very critical. Whether the shoeting was intentienal or was an accident is a question. CHILDREN OVERCOME BY GAS, ON ROAD TO RECOVERY Nurse in Hugh J. Flynn’s Family Inadvertently Turned on Fluid.

REKINDLED FIRE DESTROYS HOUSE AFTER FIREMEN LEAVE —~__--— = Barking Arouss Asleep in a Burning House. After firemen had left the home >f J W. Hahne, 6112A Ridge avenue, early Monday, believing they had put out a blaze which drove the family of three from their beds into the cold, and dam- aged two of the three rooms, a second fire broke out and completed the ‘work of destruction. The firemen were recalled, but were unable to save the contents of the heme. Mr. Hahn’s loss is $1000. Rex, the family’s smal! black dog, awoke Mr. and Mrs. Hahbne and their son, Russell Hahne, by barking at 4 a. m. They found their rooms filled with smoke, and without stopping io dress, hurried dewn the frent stairs and called the firemen. An engine company came and put out the fire, after it had destreyed the kitchen furniture and damaged that in the middle room. Then the firemen went away. Soon after the firemen’s departure, about 5:30, while the three, who had re- turned and dressed, were trying to get some articles out of the charred kitchen, the son noticed flames in the middle room. The fire seemed smouldered in the floor. The second fire was the more severe of the two and left the family almost nothing. Their insurance is $600.

Oll Co., West pointed to the following paragraph in a letter written by him (West) and quoted by President Roose- |velt in his latebt reply to Bryan: “The only person that the prohibitions could help was the Standard Oil Co. and that he hazarded as much as he did for them as he did after his sudden change of heart supplies the necessary factor for any intelligent man to reckon whether the Governor of Oklahoma has a leaning toward the Standard Oil Co.; and therefore the President’s statement seems to me a mild rebuke.” Before concluding the discussion Mr. West stated that he voted for Haskell for Governor and wag under the impres- sion that Haskell, like himself (West), was against the Standard Oil Co. Mr. West said he (West) lived in Oklahoma and Haskell in Indian Territory before statehood and that he for that reason did not know much about Haskell but thought he was an anti-Standard Oil .|/man because Monnett made speeches for him during the campaign. PHYSICIAN CHARGES WIFE READ BIBLE TO PATIENTS Dr. L. Wiliam Ray Seeks Divorce ' Alleging Wife Embar- rassed Him. Dr. L. William Ray of 483A Finney avenue obtained a divorce from Mrs, Rhoda E. Ray of 1907 North Grand ave- nue Monday in Judge Taylor's court after telling the story of his 13 years of married life. Mrs. Ray did not offer a defense. The physician is a deacon in the Grand Avenue Baptist Church, of which his wife is also a member, according to his testimony. His wife, he said, caused scenes at his office because he treated women patients without leaving the door open 80 she could observe him. Frequently, he said, she ran patients away by in- sisting on reading the Bible to them when they came there for medical treatment. “She would find fault with my hat,’ he testified, “and with books I brought to the house. In the last six or seven years I have had to smuggle in every book I wanted to read. “She would not permit me to smoke in the house or eat betiween Meals. At

church meetings she embarrassed me } by arising and stating her views. She was always dictating to me.”

YOAKUM PLEADS FOR SOUARE DEAL FOR GOOD TRUSTS Railway: Official Says Indis- criminate Attacks Hurt Both Capital and Labor. meee

COLUMBUS, 0O., Sept. 28-—B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the executive committees of the Rock Island-Frisca railway system, addressed the conven- tion of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen. making a strong plea for the cessation of legisla- tion hostile to the railroads o fthe coun- try. The railroad mileage of the United States was 227,000 miles last year, he said, having increased 24 per cent in 10 years. The number of firemen, now 70,000, had increased 92 per cent and their annual payroll had grown from $23,000,000 to $53,000,000, the amount paid them last year, but since the beginning of the recent hard times last October the payroll had been cut $8,000,000. What was needed for a restoration of the full payroll and a continuance of the growth of railway business and rail- way construction was a restoration of confidence in financial investments. Something like $6,000,000,000 would be needed in the next 10 years for building new roads and equipping them if the progress of the last decade was to be kept up, and New York bankers, who ‘had furnished 90 per cent of the money needed for building the 106,000 miles of railroad west of the Mississippi River, must be depended on to supply the money. Co-Operative Policy Necessary. Continuing, Mr. Yoakum’ said: Any policy that stirs up internal strife, that prejudices one interest against an- other, that injures or endangers our groundwork of co-operation, is hurtful alike to all. As a nation we should stand shoulder to shoulder for the rights of both the public and the law- abiding corporations and the indiscrim- inate denunciations of all capital of the country should cease. “Those who have the true tnterest of the country at heart should work for the enforcement of the.laws which have been made effective in the last few years, vigorously prosecuting every vio- lator. In conclusion, I wish to say that I am heartily in sympathy with you in your work. I belfeve organized labor and or- ganized capital can better work to- strate.’’

rich and royal, and he is one of the most famous explorers in the world, a dis- tinguished naval officer and a man who would have “made good,’’ it is said of him, though of humble instead of royal birth. And Miss Elkins is a typical American girl, high spirited, adventurous and ath- letic, a society favorite and graced with rare beauty. She and the Duke are ad- mittedly deep in love with each other; but they have had to contend with the prejudice, pride and laws which hedge about the ancient Italian royal house of Savoy. Their courtship has aroused in- terest throughout the world. Here is the story, chapter by chapier: CHAPTER I. Met at a Ball, In the spring of 1907 the Italian fleet paid a visit to the United States as an incident of the Jamestown exposition. The Duke of the Abruzzi was couspicu- ous among the officers of the fleet and the recipient of many social] attentions, befitting his reyal rank. One of these entertainments in honor of the Duke was ¢ ball given by Mr. and Mrs. Larz Anderson. On the bali- rcom floor Col. Bromwell, chief aid tv the President, intro@uced the Duke and a stately beauty, She was Katherine Elkins of West Virginia. The eyes otf the young people met and there sprang up in both their breasts an emotion which was to prove once more the ven- erable adage that “All the world loves a lover,”’ After that, significantly enough, Miss Elkins was favored with the Duke's par- ticular attentions at every social gather- ing. But no one thought then of an in ternational alliance—that is. no one, per- naps, but the Duke and Miss Elkins. CHAPTER II. Courted Under Alias. In the following spring, at the time when the winter sojourners at the fash- ionable resorts of Florida were wena- ing their way northward, it became known that the Duke of the Abruzzi, under an assumed tiame, had visited Mi- ami and S8t. Augustine. Miss Elkins and her mother had been among the win- ter guests at those two places and the Duke had been much in the young woman's company, indeed, had paid her constant court. Then, for the first time, they publicly began to realize that there was in pros- pect the most brilliant marriage ever contracted by an American girl, a union with a Prince of the blood royal, who stood a chance of one day sitting on the throne of Italy. 2 CHAPTER Ill, No Dot Wanted, After that there were many “rumors and reports. It was said that, should the Duke and the American girl wed he would have to surfender all claims to . the throne or else the marriage would have to be morganatic. The statutes of the House of Savoy are strict. It was conceded that neither Senator Elkins nor his daughter would consider a morganatic marriage. Either Misys Elkins would become the Duchess of the Abruzzi, with every right and position belonging te that title. or she would not wed the man she loved, it was said. There was talk of a demand for a dot that would pay an annual income af $100,000. But that gossip was set at rest the Duke, nor his courin the King, wanted any dot. It was usual, said the Rome report, for princesses of the Houye of Savoy, to come dowerless to thelr marriages. And while all these reports were being published the Duke of the Abruzzi, wha had followed Miss Elkins to Washing. ton, safied home, = CHAPTER TV, Auother Sulior,

— Adolphus Andrews of the United States Navy, a stalwart young Texan who had been in command of a cutter doing coast patrol duty in the Philippines, was hurrying home on furlough to press his suit for Miss “lkins’ hand. It was said that Senator Elkins would welcome him, for the Senator did not take very kindly to foreigners of title. He had been made very mad a day or two before by the published statement that the King of Italy contemplated giv- ing him some lofty patent of nobility to put him “on a plane with the Duke of Abruzzi.’’ ‘ But it was soon found out, that, if Lieut. Andrews had any hope’ when he made his race round the world. it was useless. Miss Elkins’ heart was pledged to the royal young explorer and moun- tain climber far away in Italy. CHAPTER V, Queen Opposed Match. After these matters had been pub- lished repeated conferences of the House of Savoy were held.- The members of the royal family displayed violent op- position to the proposed international marriage. The Queen was especially bit- ter. And the press, even anti-roy- alist organs, denounced the _ proposed marriage. They said it would cheapen the dignity of the Italian royal. house for one of its princes to marry a for- eign commoner. And so matters rested until the pres- ent announcement that the King, in spite of all opposition in his own fam- ity and among the people, had consented prince who was not used to permitting ola laws, kings, Arctic seas or danger- ous mountains. to trouble him when he had set out to accomplish anything. to the demands of the doughty young]. mei MONDAY EVENING, LOVE LAUGHS AT "SEPTEMBER 2, 1908. DIVER WINS IN LOCKSMITHS, BUT} CONTEST WITH LOVERS WJ IIlinoisan Arrested for Eloping With His Fiancee’s Young- er Sister.

If it is true, as the poets say, that “Love laughs at lecksmiths,’”’ he has the chance of his life to prove it by get- ting Charles Mason out of jail and re- storing him to his sweetheart, Miss Nel- lie Copner, 19 years old,“of Macon, IIl., a little town near Decatur, where Mason is a prisoner. Just how long he will remain in the heavy hardware house depends on the strength of Miss Copner’s love. Muson was captured in St. Louts in company with Miss Copner’s 16-year-old sister, Trela, with whom he elopéd from Macon, despite the fact that he was engaged to marry Nellie. Awaiting Ficncee’s Decision. A long-distance telephone message to the Post-Dispatch from: Macon Monday said that Nellie, though apparently jilt- ed, has not yet consented to the prosecu- tion of Mason on a charge of abduc- tion. The authorities have \decided to hold him while his ‘fiancee makes up her mind. If she says she is still willing to mar- ry him despite his sudden and unconven- tional departure with her sister, he wiil be set free. Trela has returned home and has been forgiven Mason is 21 years old. He went to Macon three years ago and became ac- quainted with the Copner family. He went to dances and entertainments with’ Nellie and occasionally Trela, Nellie’s “kid sister,’’ then anly 13 and wearing short dresses, accompanied ther. After it became generally known that Mason and Nellie were engaged his visits to the Copner home became more frequent. In the two years that fol- lowed Trela grew taller and her skirts grew longer. She was no longer the “kid sister,”” but a “young lady.” Mason's attentions to her were not re- garded with suspicion by the family. Why shouldn‘t he be nice to his future sister-in-law? Younger Sister Disappeared. Saturday night Trela did not appesr at the supper table. When Nellie went to her sister’s room she found that all/of Trela’s ‘“‘things’’ were gone. Inquiry showed that Mason and Trala nad driven from Macon in a buggy half an hour earlier. Constable Adame, who ts a brother-in- law of the Copner girls, followed the trail to Decatur, but the elopers had 41- ready taken a westbound train. Telegrams were sent to the St. Louis police. Mason and Trela were taken in custody when they stepped from the train at Union Station Sunday. Trela’ has refused to state why she left home with her sister’s afflanced husband.. Mason says that he merely meant to take her to visit his relatives in Mis- souri.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28.—Wrapped in the tentacles of a giant devil fish, ‘Martin Lund, a diver empioyed by the Coast Wrecking Co., fought for his life in the hold of the wrecked steamer Po- mona, which lies in 30 feet.of water in Fort Ross cove off the Marin County coast. | Lund arrived here yesterday after an experience that comes to few men and he will enjoy a _.vacation before again donning his diver’s dress. . More terrible even than the fight be- tween Gilliatt, Hugo’s hero of ‘The Tollers of the Sea,’’ wae the battle in the hold of the sunken ship. The devil fish had evidently entered the vessel’s hold during the night and Lund was at work some time before he became aware of its presence. Helmect’s Loss Threatened. A giant tentacle four inches in diam- eter first gripped one leg. Before Lund couid realize what _had happened anoth- er encircied his thigh. The diver began to chop frantically at the rubber-like bonds, and he signaled to the barge above that he wanted to ascend. Two more tentacles squirmed out of the dark- ness and one entangled his neck. The men on the surface tried to comply with his signal. His helmet threatened to be pulled off and he notified them to de- sist. With one arm free he hacked away at the tenacles until they\were partially crippled, but he was being drawn to- ward the beak when he saw the out- lines of the body of the devil fish. Nearly Crushed as Monster Dies, He plunged his knife with all his power into the head, repeating the blow until he had slashed it into sections, In its death throes the octopus tight- ened its tentacles until the diver was almost crushed. Lund finally cut him- self free and was brought to the sur- face fainting. Another diver brought some of the severed tenacles to the sur- face and it is hoped to rafse the body and send it to this city for exhibition, j names i i 0 late MON ANN Nt Ali PASTOR PASTOR AND 1 OTHERS SHOT AT CHURCH 6} DEAD Crowd From “Blind Tiger” Use Revolvers on Tennes- see Worshipers.

YIDDISH PLAY AT. OLYMPIC. LIMIT OF REALISM “God of Vengeance’ Shows Life Hinted at in “Mrs. Warren’s Profession.”’ reached and passéd last night when Sholom Asch’s dreadful three-act drama, “The God’ of Ven- gance,”’ was presented by a Yiddish company under the management of Ed- win A. Relkin at the Olympic theater, The performance of this play would not be permitted on the English-speak- ing. stage, its closest parallel, ‘Mrs. Warren’s Profession,"’ having been for- bidden for merely hinting at that phase of life which is here openly ‘pictured in revolting detail. The fact that it is the work which has established the fame of Sholom Asch in Russia, Germany and Austria, and that it tells a powerfully dramatic story and points a good moral, does not condone its offense. We must merely concede that the. foreign stage is more frank than ours in its ac- ceptance of themes long considered “taboo” for theatrical treatment and, thus conceding, maintain that justified attitude which debars these themes from our own playhouses. The Play’s Revolting Story. The story of “The God of Vengeance,” as told by Mr. Relkin’s players to a large Olympic audience last night, makes plain the truth that it should never hope for English-speaking repre- sentation and that its performance in Yiddish should be forbidden in this country. It would have been well if even this one St. Louis production of the work had been prevented. Jacob Shabsevitch, the central char- x § HE limit of offensive plays was in Russian Poland, the son of a team- ster, a ‘“‘driver,’’ the lowest figure in the Yiddish social scale. But his father had been a good and God-fearing Jew, and Jacob, married to a woman-traf- ficker in young girls and himself in- duced to embark in that appalling trade, feels its curse upon him and is filled with a piteous solicitude to safeguard | his daughter Rivke, now growing into young womanhood, against its blight. “I am a sinful man,” he says. “My wife is a sinful woman. God will pun- ish us both—we shall be sent to Hell— but my daughter, she is a pure girl— I must save my daughter!”’ The “Scroll of the Law” Safeguard. He will do so by invoking the direct intervention of Jehovah, through the me- dium of the synagogue itself, in behalf of Rivke—he will have written at great cost the Scroll of the Law—that most sacred writing so revered that, even if it fall to the floor by accident, all the Jews in the city must fast througheut one day for its purification—and this scroll he will place in Rivke’s bedroom. It ig to him even more than the Scroll of the Law—it is God himself, and sure- ly it cannot fail to avert from his child the damnation incurred by her parents. Rivke is a pure girl—and the God of Israel is a merciful God. “But He is also a revengeful God!’’ cries the venerable writer of the scroll, who, while not knowing the full extent of Jacob’s sin, suspects that it is great- er than has been told. And, with the sounding of this eminous note, the Scroll of the Law is delivered to the father, placed in the cover made for it by the daughter herself, and hung upon the wall in her bedroom. The Tempting of the Daughter. The Shabsevitches live on an upper floor of the house in the basement of which thelr nefarious enterprise is con- ducted, all communication between the two establishments being forbidden by the father. But, unknown to him, his lonely daughter, curious and compan- ionless, has made a friend of ene of the girls in the basement, who surreptitious- ly visits her, and, finally, the daughter herself is induced to steal down to the basement of nights and there associate with the women from whose sins her parents derive their revenue. She is en- couraged in this by one of the older women, who is planning a rival estab- lishment of her own and whe seeks to make this daughter of Jacob Shabsevitch a tool in her house. “Her mother was one of us for 16 years,” this woman says. ‘Her father makes his money in the business—why hould she not become as we are?” And so the curse falla upon Jacob Shabsevitch. His pure daughter, cun- ningly tempted by one of the basement girls In a scene indescribably appalling, and after being discovered and beaten by her horror-stricken father, flees with @€ woman who covets her beauty and youth and becomes one with the girls In whose souls and bedies her father and mother have trafficked and’ grown rich. The Despair of Jacob Shabsevitech. Jacob Shabsevitch, In his soul know- ing evil and fearing God, breaks in mind and body under the punishment that has fallen upon him. In hig despair ‘1+ even reviles the sacred Scroll upon which he had placed his dependence for the saving of his daughter. “She was purer than the Scroll of the Law itself!" he cries. “It was not *ne who sinned—why must it be she wno suffers? God should punish me and ..y wife alone—I care not how—but not 1y daughter—not my daughter!” The hardened mother, abetted by the go-between who had arranged for he writing of the Scroll of the Law, rea- sens with the remorse-stricken father that the wise thing is to pay for the e- covery of his daughter and to arrange a marriage with some unsuspecting young man. It can easily be done—the girl will have a rich dowry—and then no one need ever be the wiser.

RIPLEY D. SAUNDERS. “Girls” at the Garrick. Clyde Fitch was in his merriest mood when he gave to the playgoing public the comedy “Girls,’’ seen for the first time by a St. Louis audience at the Garrick Sunday evening. It is bright with humor, sparkling in repartee and amusing in situation. The keynote is sounded in the first act, when the three girls swear an oath with drawn hatpins never to ‘have anything to do with man, and then sing their “national anthem,’ “No Wedding Bells for Me.” But mere man comes upon the scene, And then all is changed. The man ig an intruder, unwelcome but persuasive. He is forced to leave, but: the seed of discontent has been sown and-.the absence and loneliness of life without man has been felt. The society begins to weaken. In the second act more men appear, and man begins the ascendency over the little band of manhaters. It is a pretty fight the girls wage, with the heart against prejudice and sex hatred. The heart conquers and mere man proves himself the stronger of the sex. The characters are all well drawn and the situations and scenes such as might be seen in every-day life. The company presenting “Girls’’ is ca- pable in every part and is a pleasing re- lief from the prevailing custom of pre- senting one star, with an unimportant and often incompetent support. Bessie Toner, Ethel Grey Terry and Suzette Jackson are excellent as the little band of man haters; Caroline Locke is pleas- ing as the flirt for whom any man will do; H. 8. Northrup makes a dashing and persuasive lover and “buster of the Feminine Trust.”” Others in the cast are Merceita. Esmonde, Albert Grau. Heviyn Benson, E. A.

If you do it, it is simply because you don’t know. Nearly every grocer in your city is sup- plied with Van Camp’s—the germless milk —the cleanest, richest milk in America. If -you don’t use it, there can be but one reason. You never have tried it, You don’t know the facts. Please read them—then try the milk. Do as your neighbors are doing. There are few things more important to you than pure milk. Please don’t, for lack of knowl- edge, go without it longer. Milk Without Germs Every drop of raw milk contains a myriad germs. If the cow is tubercui.., there are germs of Consumption. If the milkman is diseased, the milk is often infected. If the dairy is ponies Aig the very air 1s germ- laden. When a disease germ gets into milk, it breeds millions like it. Those are the chances you take when you use milkman’s milk. You know not from where it comes. You never know what it contains. But you do know, perhaps, that, two- thirds the mortality of children is due to germ-infected milk. There is not a germ of any kind in Van Camp’s Milk. That fact has béen proved a hundred times over. Do you think it wise to serve impure milk when you can get milk like this? 20,000 Inspected Cows Every day we milk 20,000 Holstein cows. Every cow is inspected. So are the men who milk them. Why do 5 Our dairies are sanitary. Cleanliness is carried to extremes. Every condition is constantly watched. Our buildings, where the milk is evap orated, are built without wood. ing, is so much better than raw milk. 2. is not because of anything added, Six Cents Per Quart One pint of Van Camp’s, when you put back the. water, makes about three pints of rich milk. The cost of such milk, when you buy Van Camp’s by the case, is about six cents per quart. Six cents for a quart of whole, rich milk—milk without germs in jit. Milk — that is always the same—always fresh— always ready. Never a waste or shortage, Van Camp’s is as thick as thick cream, ae en ee ee ee coffee. Yet it costs half what cream costs, For Children ‘Vie Ceanpla ls the-éabé tite Deu tell approved by the highest authorities. — With children, it will avoid the many | bowel troubles caused by germ-infected milk, The slight almond flavor, ‘due to sterile: 2 ese soaad Sevens iten 0 Sette it/ signifies purity—freedom from germs. — ildren can safely drink it. But don’t give them raw milk—any mote than raw meat. There is too much danger of germ infection. Here every means known to science is employed for your protection. Then the milk is sterilized after the can is sealed. This makes it certain that no germ can exist in it. The result is a milk that is safe. wise to use a milk that is not? Is it That Delicious Flavor The. delicious flavor that Van Camp’s gives to milk dishes is due to the fact that this is whole milk. It is rich Holstein milk, with two-thirds the water evaporated. Nothing else is subtracted—nothing whatever is added. This is not like condensed milk, which is half sugar—a milk that you can’t use in cooking. Van Camp's is nothing but milk, Yet you never have made from -raw milk such delicious milk dishes as you will make from Van Camp’s. The rea- son is, you don’t get the whole milk from your milkman. When he serves you from the top of the can, you. get an excess of butter fat. For the butter fat rises. From the rest of the can, you get little butter fat, but an excess of solids. For the solids fall. Van Camp’s Milk comes in 5 and 10 cent cans—at. your grocer’s. Try one can and you will want it always. it is cheaper to buy by the case—also more convenient. Produced in five states by the dairies of the Van Camp — — Indian- apolis, Ind. Your milk is never twice alike. Analysis of Van Camp’s shows about 30 per cent of solids, of which 8 per cent is butter fat. That means that you get the whole natural milk.

Mrs. Amanda J. Lacey, said by her family to have been the last real daugh- ter of the Revolution in St. Louls, died Sunday at noon at the home ef her daughter, Mrs. Mary A. Delunsch, 4409 West Belle place. She was 76 years old Lived Here Third of Century. She was reared and educated in Nash- ville and was #4 years old when she came to St. Louis.

NEW YORK, Sept. %.—According to Broughton Brandenburg, who taiked with the Post-Dispatch reporter at his home at Lake Hopatcong, there will be a conference in the office of tae Times today whereat an effort will. be made to clear up the mystery of the unfortua- ate Cleveland fake published by’ the Times and sold by the Times to other newspapers several weeks ago. Brand- enburg said he would be present at this conference. Brandenburg, in addition to his brief statement telegraphed the Post-Dispatch of yesterday that Mr. Cleveland had not actually penned the article, insisted that fhe obtained from the former president some of the notes—perhaps twenty in number—written on small pieces of pa- per in pencil, and from those he pre- pared the now celebrated statement.

It is a strange story of a groundless and futile family feud, of hearts break- ing under years of yearning, of a fate- ful drifting nearer and a groping in the dark and a message of forgiveness throbbing with a great heart-hunger. The Hanna family lived in Philadel- phia. Della, the daughter, had married a traveling salesman, and had gone to make her home in Chicago. She fre- turned home to be with her mother while the latter underwent a maternal crisis. Takes Brother With Her, When Baby Margaret was 10 days vld, and she made ready to return to her home, she begged that Earl might gu with her. She had always been very fond of him and had grieved over the separation from him. His mother de- murred. It was such a long journey for such a little boy. But Mrs. Hanna had Baby Margaret to occupy her mind and heart and when Della pleaded and promised to take very good care of him The daugliter and her brother disap- peared. They waited anxiously in the Phila- delphia home for a letter from Chicago, but none came. Perhaps it was sent. The mother grieved and the father grew stern. She would have written, but he, embittered by the seeming heartlessness of the daughter, said they would wait until Della wrote. When a letter finally was sent it was returned marked ‘‘not found.” Anxiety deepened as time passed. The Chicago authorities were written to. The infor- mation that came was that the Vaughns had gone to California. The inquiry was pursued and the parents learned that Della and the boy were in New York. There all trace of them was lost: In St. Louis Together. Ten years passed and the Hannas and Rider, who served in the Army of Vir- ginia under Gen. George Washington and underwent the rigors of Valley Forge. He participated in many of the famous battles of the Revolution, but was never sufficiently injured to be kept out of action. He served under Wash- ington for the entire seven years of fighting, and then went to Nashville, Tenn., where his daughter was born, in 1882. Mrs. Lacey drew a pension as a re- ward for her father’s service’ to the nation. The funeral will be held from the Delunsch residence Tuesday afternoon to St. Peter’s Cemetery. Besides Mrs. Delunsch there are three other daughters—Mrs. Jennie Grant, a Sar Hines and Mrs. Rebecca 73 Ruben Rider was born in 1760 and was 16 years old when he entered the army. He was 72 years old when his daughter was born and was very hale and vigor- ous. WRANGLE ABOUT CLEVELAND RECALLS “MORLEY FORGERY” The doubt cast upon the authenticity of the late Grover Cleveland's last po- litical document recalls the ‘‘Morley for- gery,’ circulated to discredit James A. Garfield during his campaign for the presidency. Garfield was nominated at Chicago in June, 1880. Shortly afterward a letter bearing his signature and addressed to H. L. Morley of the Employers’ Union at Lynn, Mass., was circulated by his political opponents. In the letter Gar- field was made to say that the Chinese treaty ought not-to be abrogated or the

immigration of Chinese laborers restrict- ed until the wants of American employ- | ers were fully supplied. The candidate proved that the letter was a forgery. LEGISLATOR ACCUSES GOVERNOR

he received the notes he alleges to liave been given by Mr. Cleveland is’ March 56 and he says that some days later, not mentioning the exact date, he returned them to Mr. Cleveland, who at the same time signed the article which had been prepared by Brandenburg. Brandenburg in his statement said of the article h. had sold to the Times: “T am the one person who knows all the facts absolutely, it seems, and ! hereby declare that though I stand alone against the whole world I realize the responsibility unwittingly intrusted to my humble care and I will defend it to the finish.’’ een ee Frost in Northwest Miasouri.

“Is your mamma living?’ **Yes.’’ Pride Stifies Impulse. The woman looked steadily, tenderly at her. She seemed to be striving with an impulse. But there was enough of the old pride or bitterness to stifle ‘t. She slowly turned away. “Who is that little girl?’ Margaret heard the boy asked her as they walked away. Margaret thinks she heard the woman Say “‘sister.”’ ; She ran home and told what had or- curred. The hearts of the parents were melted. The only way they could make it known was through a ‘personal’ :n the Post-Dispatch. They inserted the p@rsonal and now they are waiting for the mother’s dream to come true.

_— ing of $159,000 and another of $45,000, etc., ete Now for your —- You have yourself furnishe its condemnation. You have quoted the contributions fur- nighed to v. Hughes as giving rea- sons to distrust Gov. Hughes’ attitude toward contributions, and I am obliged to say that you cunnot be sincere on your part, for you weil know what the Governor's attitude has been throughout his term. You quote the contribution of Mr. Harriman to my campaign, though you know well that it did not affect any action taken by me as against Mr. Har- riman, and ask if it would not have af- fected the campaign if known. Thefeby you have furnished an ex- eéllent reason for refusing to meet your proposal, for you make it evident that to adopt your proposal would give to every man who cared merely for par- tigan success the chance by precisely the argument you have now made to create to more purpose the false im- pression that you are now seeking to create. Mr. Taft’s position, Mr. Taft's acts on the bench and in the executive service show that he could not be swayed in any shape or way by any consideration save the public interest, and the fact of a man’s contributing or failure to contrioute would not in any way affect his action any more than tion of Gov. Hughes. > Pablicity After Election. I emphatically approve of the publica- tion of campaign expenses after election, whether provided for by law or not. You have shown by this letter that, if the contributions to Mr. Hughes campaign fund had been made public before election, you and those who act with you would have striven to give the false impression that Mr. Hughes was unfit to be intrsuted with the posi- tion of Governor; and you have shown by this letter of yours that, if Mr. Har- riman’s contribution to the campaign fund of 1904 (and, incidentally, I may mention that I am informed that this particular contribution was not. used for the national campaign, but in the New York State campaign) had been known before election, you and your support- ers would have endeavored to use the fact of its having been made as an insincere and untruthful argument to show that I could not be trusted to deal out exact justice to Mr. Harriman. No stronger argument against your proposition has yet been advanced than this, that you have thus unconsciously advanced. I now come to the important part of our letter, your attitude toward Mr. askell. You state that Mr. Haskell has voluntartly resigned from the com- mittee. You speak highly of the public service which he has rendered and pro- test against any condemnation of him, except such as may come in a court. Now all the great financial magnates who then contributed to your campaign fund would have preferred business perity to business adversity, other gs being equal; but they would rath- mave had the immense profit that would have accrued to them from the ftee coinage of the 50-cefft’dollar than the smaller profit which would have accrued to them merely from the gen- eral industrial prosperity of the coun- try. Because of their personal interests and against the interests of the com- munity at large, these “trust’’ magnates then supported you. My belief is—and the statement of Judge Priest quoted above and the at- titude of many men of large financial interests warrant me in expressing the belief—that those trust magnates, whose fear of being prosecuted under the law by Mr. Taft is greater than their fear ps | eneral business adversity under you, will support you and not Mr. Taft. Re es Publicity A egy og I now come to what you have to say as to contributions, and here you fur- nish your own answer. You state that it appears frem the published state- ment of the contribution to Mr. Hughes campaign for Governor two years ago that various men of wealth, some of them connected with big corporations, whom you name, to the number of nine, contributed from $20,000 to apiece. You ask. “Would the fact that these entlemen contributed to his campaign und strengthen or weaken his testi- mony against the reasonableness of our anti-trust remedy?’’ and later you con- tinue by asking: ‘‘Are you willing to say that any public interest was served in 1904 by concealing until after the election the contributions made to the Republican Campaign Committee by Mr. Harriman and those collected by him for others? Are you willing to say that the publication before election to the contribution than made would have had no effect on the eléction? You then propose to publish the names of centiibutore before election and ask us to do the same. The amounts you mention as con- tributed to Mr. Hughes are utterly trivial compared to the amounts I have already mentioned as _ contributed to

“your campaign in 1896; but in my judg- the amount contributed has noth- ment the —* at ing whatever to do with issue, The question ven, for instance, whether Mr. Clark of ontana, when he contributed heavily to your campaign had a proper motive and whether your actions would or would not have been influenced properly or improperly by that contribution; and the same ques- tion applies to Mr. Hughes and to me. In the case of Mr. Hughes and myself the answer is fortunately easy. a Make Anawer. You have nothing to do but examine ourrecords inthe office te which we were both é@lected.

You say you were ignorant of Mr. Haskell’s record. If s0, it was willful ignorance On your part. I call your at- tention to the letter of Mr. L. T. Rus- sell, the editor of the Morning Demo- crat of Ardmore, Ok., in which, writing to you on Sept. 24, 1908, he states: If you were ignorant of such charges it is because you refused to read thcm when presented, when you visited Ok- iahoma last fall in the interest of Can- didate Haskel]. At that time I per- sonally presented to you 10 typewritten pages of charges against Mr. Haskell, covering his operations in Ohio, New York, | rkansas, Texas and Oklahoma. The charges recently made by Mr. Hearst were all made by me at that time.” Courts to Deal With Him. You ask that we leave the courts to deal with Mr. Haskell. As te some mat- ters, the courts have already dealt with him. As to others, various private in- dividuals whom he has wronged, and the United States Government, on behalf of helpless Indians whom he has wronged, are striving to have the courts to deal with him. Mr. M. L. Nott, Na- tional Aitorney for the Creek Nation, writes me as follows: In October, 1906, Mr. Foulke of Rich- mond, Ind., was sent to investigate the matter of the townsite frauds in the Creek Nation. Mr. Foulke’s report is in the hands of the Secretary of the In- terior. All parties connected with these ng pgee Rhee og ue the same and methods. pon the report filed by Mr. Foulke, I, as attorney’ for the Creek Nation, was directed by the Secretary of the Interior to file suits in equity for the cancellation where: the same had been secured by fraud. “Proceeding upon instructions, and after full vestige tion, I found that Gov. C. N. Haskell, among others, had secured deeds to quite a number of lots in ae by conspiracy and fraud; that he had had these lots sched- ule the names of ‘dummies,’ or ‘straw’ men, who lived in the State of Ohio and elsewhere, and then had them quitclaim back to him without consider- ation. By this dishonest means he succeeded in getting deeds to a large number of lots belonging to the Cree Indians at one-half appraised value. “IT have filed quite a number of suits against Gov. askell, in which con- spiracy and fraud is charged, and the manner of consummating it is set out in detail. Haskell has not filed any an- swer in any of these cases. .He has simply, through his attorney, filed dila- tory motions, such as demurrers, plead- ing to the jurisdiction, eto. He dare not answer and ps the allegations set up in our bill; such an answer would be a sworn lie and known to be by the large number of ‘straw’ men and ‘dum- mies’ he used in perfecting the fraud.”’ Haskell’s New York Record. For this particular act of the man whose public record you indorse you may rest assured that the Interior De- partment will endeavor to see that the courts do ‘“‘justice’’ to him. When Mr. Haskell was in New York various judgments were filed against him. I will not at the moment discuss the charges of perjury and fraud made against him by Attorney Albert H. alker of New York in connection with the suit decided by Judge Lacombe in March, 1902. But the records of the County Court of New York County show that on Feb. 21, 1900, a judgment for damages and costs amounting to $42,- 235.43, recovered in the Supreme Court of the county. was filed against Charles M. Haskell. On April 2, , this judg- ment was returned on the Sheriff’s exe- cution eaaaee to the extent of only .80, and the remainder of it remains still unsatisfied. In this instance your proposal that Mr. Haskell be left to the court does not seem to have produced thoreugh-going justice. Neither shal touch upon the various sults of all kinds now pending against him for all kinds of reasons. Thus, ® is reported in the press, under date of Sept. 19, 1908, that a $500 judgment had been obtained against Mr. Haskell by an attorney of Arkansas who was employed by him “to lobby before the City Coun- cil of Muskogee to get through a fran- chise. The attorney’s e was never paid, but the franchise Was granted.”’ Nor again shall I touch upon the facsimile published in the press of Sept. 25 last, showing Mr. Haskell having three years ago joined an or- ganization to prevent union labor rom entering the city in which he lived. Indeed, es regards this last statement, I wish distinctly to acquit Mr. Haskell of being opposed On principle to either trade unions or one: for I wish to acquit him of be hing P ing opposed on principle to any- Federal Grant to Standard Oil. Now as to Gov. Haskell’s connection with the Standard Oil Co. in Oklaho- ma. Gov. Haskell advances the fact that the United Stetes Government permitted the Standard Oil Co. on the Same terms as any and all other com- panies to enjoy the legal provisions to which it was entitled on the Indian reservations of Oklahoma, as his jus- tification for having given it illegal privileges to which it was not enti- tled in the State of Oklahoma, ’ e excuse furnishes the measure of Gov. Haskell’s moral quality. The Federal act of March 14, 1904, con- ferred upon the Secretary of the In- terior the right to grant permits for oil and gas pipe lines to cross Indian reservations. Reservations to carry out the law were drawn up by the regretery of the Interior April 12 1904, on compliance with the law and the regulations of the Department of the Interior permitted the Standard Of] Pipe Line Co. (the Prairie Oil and Gas Co., the Cary River Gas Co., the Dense Portland Cement Go. and oth- ers, including Texas and gulf compa- nies), all on the same terms and un- der the same conditions, the right of Way across the Indian reservation. No preference or privilege was Sranted to any company that was not also grarted to ali the others. Any Other action than that actually taken ¥Y the Interior Department would have been as grossly improper as the actions of Gov. Haskell himself. The Vernment stood neither for nor against any company; but it required each to obey the law. Its action was precisely like the action which it took, for instance, in proceedin against the Standard Ot! Co. In the rebate matter: it dig not thus proceed, be- Cause the Standard Ol! Co. was in- volved. but because rebates had been granted: it would have proceeded just the rivals of the tandard O Oll itself. h or 1! matter t no Standard Oil or any Whither it to th er it is the other.

It had nothing to do with the question of compliance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma, and conferred no privilege to cross territory in Oklahoma outside of these reservations. Gov. Haskell re- the law of Oklahoma. He claims that the Standard Oii’s rights were superior to the requirements of the Oklahoma constitution, for which he was himself mainly responsible. He took the decision of this question away from the courts and, against the opinion of his Attorney- General, he decided it in favor of the Standard Oil corporation. The Attorney- General of Oklahoma has made the fol- lowing statement in this matter: “The President's statement as to the Prairie Oil and Gas Co. suit is less than the whole matter in its whole iniquity, because on the 23d of April I had in- formed the Governor that the action taken by the Prairie company was ille- gal and shou'd be enjoined, and that I had an open injunction suit. At that time, April 23, the Governor ee me as to iy iNegality of e a n and approved th of the injunction. “ig — “The same day the Governor left the State to go to Denver the Prairie com- pany started its trespass. This, I be- liéve, was prearranged between the Governor and the Prairie company, as the Prairie company rushed the laying of its pipe line during the absence of the Governor from the State. Ordered Suit Dismissed. “I wired the: Governor on.the ist of July, asking whether he had given the Prairie Oil Co. permission to build their line.

The national Government, obeying both the law and the principles of sound morality, discriminated neither for nor against the Standard Oli Co. or its ri- val. Gov. Haskell, against the law and every principle of honesty ana fair deal- ing, discriminated in favor of the Stand- ard Oil corporation. Failure to see the distinction between the two cases indi- cates moral rather than mental obtruse- ness. I believe in radical reform, and the movement for such reform can bé suc- cessful only if it frowns upon the. dema- gogue as it does upon the corruptionist; if it shows itself as far removed from government by a mob as from goveérn- ment by a plutocracy. Of all corrup- tion, the most ar ek + wry J for evil is that which hides itself behind the mask of furious demagogy, seeking to arouse and to pander to the basest passions of mankind. No better exemplification of this type of corruption could be found than in the case of Mr. Haskell. You have uttered no word of con- demnation of Haskellism as we thus see it. That you consciously sought to bring it about L do not believe. hat it was the natural result of the effort to apply in practice your teachings, I have no question. Yours truly.

LET THE DELEGATES ENOW. Action on two bills—the eity ighting bill which provides for competition im municipal lighting contracts and the fair grounds purchase bill— shows an improved disposition on the part of the House of Delegates. Both bills are impor- tant and have been long delayed. The House's action on them was brought about by persistent _ popular pressure.

The result of persistent pressure in the case/ of these two bills shows that the House is sus- ceptible to public opinion. Its combine yields to proven insistent public demand. The proof of the effectiveriess of unmistaka- hle evidence of public demand is a hint to the people of the surest way of getting action on the cheap gas meature. When the people of the wards make {t clear to their delegates that they want action on the gas question, they will get it. Let your Delegate know your sentiments on cheap gas.

The fall may have been tardy elsewhere, but it seems that an early frost has ‘visited certain sections of Pittsburg, being the fashionable quar- ‘ters.

To anybody except the obtuse and obtrusive millionaires of Pittsburg it ought to be perfectly apparent that people of taste might care to visit ““\Wittsbarg for the purpose only of seeing the horses. One travels to a town to see its distinc- tive and not its commonplace features—and there are some really admirable and classy horses in Pittsburg. But, wholly unntindful of this and other evi- dent distinctions, the inhabitants cfowded around the New York party in @& manner that threat- ‘ened to obscure their view. Effusive and flashy millionaires, representing the local “smart set,” pressed the visitors with invitations, got up A ‘“grend ball” in their honor a>d all that sort of thing-—to all of which they were obliged to send polite regrets.

ne AE OUR FRIENDS THE COUNTRY EDITORS. At tife recent banquet of bucolic journalists one of their number, while complimenting them- welves, lightly commiserated their metropolitan , Saying “there never was an editor or . & reporter on a city newspaper who did not wish -gome day to have a little country paper of his own.” Yes—some di . Some day after all of the in- teresting things have died out of the great cen- ters; some day when all of the great work shall have been done i.nd the battles fought and the issues decided; some day when Utopia eliminates news and the millions no longer need papers, and the country itself ceases to turn to the city io find out what has been h: ppening at home; some day when science has rendered country journalism absolutely and purely mechanical] so that it requires not a thought or a moment from the editor; and when the rapid transit shall have reduced space to a mere abstraction and the city will be so convenient that the country editor can while away ali his spare time there—then we all hope to have little country papers of our own that wiil print themselves. But we are not belittling the country papers of the present era, even though they are not automatic. Theirs is a noble function and they perform it grandly. That is because the fore- men or the printers stay on the job and dig up copy somehow and keep things going. We have always been delighted to observe. and we shall continue to be delighted to observe that the ‘place to always find the country editor ts right ip the heart of the city. When vou want to know what is going on in the city ask the country editor. He knows more about the efty than the

Archbold in the deal for “taking over” the Ohio State Journal, it is con- clusive evidence that the $50,000 of Standard Oil money supplied by Archbold to Senator For- aker, was in no sense a bribe offered to Foraker. When it was found that the paper could not then be taken over under the plan proposed, Senator Foraker returned the money. He took no fee or percentage from it for his work. He was not bribed. His letter of May, 1906, in reply {o one from Arc >ld, shows him declining to ac- cept a retaining fee from the Standard Oil Co. in its Ohio litigation because of his duties in the Senate. If the publication of his letters,yas they were given out by William R. Hearst, had made the pc'n* for argument now the probability that Sen- ator Foraker had accepted a bribe, his statement now would show that no such probability had existed either on the showing as made by the Hearst letters or on any other. Now, as always in the minds of intelligent ob- servers of public events, the assumption of sucha probability in the case of Senator Foraker is absurd. He was not retained by the Standard Oil Co., or by any other client of that kind ‘ex- cept after having made his reputation as an emi- nent lawyer, a lawyer of senatorial rank. Such lawyers do not accept bribes in the United States Senate or elsewhere. Coming back, however, from all this, which is a mere disgression in Senator Foraker's case, the important points in his case, as he himself has presented it, remain exactly as they were before. ! When he is on his way to his present service in the United States Senate, it is the way opened |: for him by his service as the attorney of the Standard Oi] Co. The fees he takes are at- torney’s fees, not bribes. They are strictly lawful as well as legal. But as he becomes the servant of the Standard Oil interests thus, his promo- tion to the Senate follows. It follows logically as a result of the system of control in Ohio poli- tics. He takes no Standard Oi] money as United States Senator. But he represents gratuitously his Standard Oil constituency when its interests are in conflict with those of the State of Ohio. If he negotiates a deal by which $50,000 of Standard Oil money is to be used to take over an important Ohio newspaper secretly, that it may serve the interests of the monopoly secretly while pretend'ng to serve those of the people of Ohio, the fact that he makes no charge and ac- cepts no fee does not exonerate him. If when the Attorney-General of Ohio is press- ing a suit to enforce the laws of Ohio against the Standard Oi] Co., in practices alleged to be lawless, he intervenes and defeats the pur- poses of the suit and of the lav back of it, the fact that this service is rendered to the Standard Oil Co., without the payment of a fee to him, does not make him a United States Senator fit to be trusted with the guardianship of the rights and the interests of the people of Ohio. The question in his case is still the same as in the closely related cases of other United States senators with records. which parallel it closely. In the case of United States Senator Stone of Missouri, no ore who is intelligent enough to understand the course of public affairs would believe a charge of bribery if it had been made. __ere ig no such implication in the main points of the record, as made in Missouri, which coin- cide with and explain Ohio history. If in the case of the Continental Tobacco Co.. the laws of Missouri are used for private purposes, so that the Attorney-General of Mis- souri is foiled as was the Attorney-General of Ohio, William J. Stone, as an attorney, holding then no public office, is representing the inter- est of a client and violating no law in doing it. Nor did Senator Foraker. But if the power of monopoly is confirmed, the public interests suffer if the anti-trust law is defeated thus both in Missouri and Ohio, we have a parallel case. Senator Stone is not suspected of taking monop- oly money for bis action in the United States Senate. When he is held above this suspicion, as is Senator Foraker, by all intelligent people, we have another parallel, which is continued, if when on the way to ‘he United States Senate, both are found as attorneys, serving trust inter. ests for attorney's fees. On the record in Ohio, Senator Foraker admits that he was the well paid attorney of the Standard Oil trust before he went to the Senate. On the record in Missouri. there is an admission from William J. Stone that as an attorney for the Missour! Health So- ciety (or the National Health Society) he wrote the argument on ‘Alum and Poison” intended to control the Missouri Legislature. On the public record as it now stands, his employment by the Health society is part of the operation of the “Baking Powder Trust.” When the record has in it also William J. Stone’s testimony that he made no special charge for that special service. it is once more a parallel to the gratuitous serv- ices rendered by Foraker in Ohio under the general conditions of his | connection with mono- polies. No bribes were offered in taking over the Kan- sas City Times in Missouri or the State Journal in Ohio. If in Misouri the money used to take over the Kansas City paper is monopoly money supplied or expected from public service cor- porations in St. Louis and Kansas City, as was testified by Editor Groves, we have a parallel for Foraker’s action in the case of the State Journal when the Kansas City Times is being taken over to further William J. Stone’s prox- ress to the United States Senate. The parallel extends beyond such incidents. It extends beyond Missouri and Ohio to the opera- tions of the same system everywhere. Plutocracy as it gains control of the avenues of promotion, does not bribe men who are able, intelligent and popular enough to serve its purposes in the highest publ‘e office. It blocks their way until they accept its private service under its own con- ditions. Promoted afterwards to the United States Senate or to any other office, they cannot break away and return to the service of the people. They are not paid by Plutocracy ip the Senate, but by the people. It is the {nterests of Pluto- cracy they serve, while being paid by the people. This is the final point of parallelism which may

BE. HAYDEN, Chairman Executive Committee, Humane Society of Missouri. True Presbyterians. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I notice in your ‘‘Answers to Readers,’’ you state: “Members of Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Presbyteri- an, German Luthéran. Unitarian, Universalist, Chris- Ulan Science and Spiritualist churches dance and &at- tend amusements.’ I beg to say that you have made an error in {including Presbyterians in this list, for no true Presbyterian would dance or attend amuse- ments, if by that you mean theaters, gardens, etc. A PRESBYTERIAN. Where the U. R. May: Lose. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. This is one of the amusing things that may Occur on the pay-as-you-enter cars: Residing east of Broad- way, I might some Sunday, or other morning, decide to take a round-trip ride on the Olive line for an air- ing, going to the end of the line and remaining in the car until it returns to the point at which I entered it. I pay my nickel when I enter the car, but remain aboard and therefore do not re-enter it, and unless the conductor leaves his cage “and demands payment. or he and the motorman drive me out, 80 as to com- pel me to again enter the car, how can any addition- al fare be collected from me? Y. DOSHEN. 6 for 25 in Des Moines. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I have been reading your articles on the six-for-25- cents street car tickets; also the answers trom tne company. I am from Iowa, and they have had tnis pay-as-you-enter system for some time and it has proven all O K. But even before they had this sys- tem they always sold tickets six for 2 cents. You could buy them any place—and the company is stil! doing business and making money. This city that ! speak of is Des Moines, Ic., the capital, a good, go- ahead little city. A. J. BARTLETT, 1012 Hamilton avenue. Principal McDaniels. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Regarding George W. McDaniels, principal of the Madison School, wish to say that I think he ought tc be given another trial. During his services as princi- pal of the Madison School he has proved himself a trustworthy principal. He har worked hard to get the school and pupils interested in a line of work differ- ent from what they were accustomed to. He has had a reunion of old graduates, something which no oth- er school bas ever done. He has succeeded in organ- izing a ball team and has talked to the boys and urged them on and they have the honor of saying that they won the city pennant. One andWall of the pupils like him. He is also respected by every old graduate of the Madison School whom he ever taught. They go to see him regularly and ask his advice upon many subjects, and now, in the midst of all this, is it proper to ask him to resign? Mr. McDaniels hag the sympathy of all his pupils, present and past, and I sincerely hope that he will be given another trial. OLD GRADUATE OF MADISON SCHOOL. The Empty Dinner-Pail. TT» the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. When Napoleon I was asked what makes u good soldier, his reply was, A full stomach. This convin- cing argument was used with good effect by ‘the Republican party in 1896. 190 and 1M%4, in the shape of the full dinner bucket, but this year we have not heard a word about ft. Are they forgetting about this efficient vote-getter, or can it be that the working people have become so ungrateful as not to appreci- ate a good thing any more, or are the Republicans ashamed to use the same old chestnut over and over again. Or has it been demoralized by the big stick? Is it empty or, last but not least, have the trusts put the lid on? Can the Post-Dispatch or its many read- ers exvinin and oblige a voter? FRANK M. NORMAN, 2916 North Fourteenth street. Hazing. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch. What useful purpose does hazing serve? ‘ly avoid confusion of terms, hazing consists in certain cigar- ette-fed, pin-head dudes (not one of whom. as a rule. called “sophs,’’ attacking stray freshmen whenever they feel perfectly safe of having sufficiently the advan- tage of numbers. In these hard times, many families strain their last resources to push a boy through col- lege and to these it is rather discouraging to get the first return for their sacrifice in the shape of a torn suit of clothes, Still, hazing must subserve some use- ful purpose, since otherwise such famous institutions as the W. U. would not wink at it. MOTHER. A Stenographer’s Wage. To the Editor of the Poat-Dispatch. Ghades of Isaac and Ben Pitman! Don't fet either shade see this letter. One of the big dry goods houses of St. Louis made it Known that ite auditor wanted another stenographer. She must be first, a stenographer; second. a good typewriter; third, she must know English well—that is, be well educated. A young lady applied for the position. She was told by the affable head of the department that it was “‘a nice place’ also, that she “must be able to spell wel! and be good at shorthand.’ Then he sald the pay would be $3.50 per week. What on earth can a gir! do with all that money in a week? The one in ques- tion went through the high school, then spent $60 for her shorthand course. She necessarily pays 6 cents a week for carfare and at least 15 cents a day, or W cents a week for lunches. Will some mathematically inclined reader please eay what she should do with the other $ she would bave left so as to spend it without fear of being accused of the sin of waste- fulness and extravagance? ‘Would it be wrong to hoard such a large sum? SPARK PLUG. ee - SECOND CHAPTER OF FORAKER’S DEFENSE. From the Dallas News. Senator Foraker seems to think it greatly mit!- gates his offense to show that 960,000 of the money he got from the Standard Oi! Co. wag loaned to him in purchasing a fhewspaper. To us that is s aggravating rather than a mitigating circumstance. In Texas we have seen the word “loan” put to such use as made it a mere euphemism for wages. But if we accept his explanation, does .t not disclose a SALOM F.

Nothing could be more puzzling than the exactly opposite impressions which St. Louis seems to have made upon Boston and North Adams, M7238. North Adams apparently holds us in the greatest affection; Boston despises us. North Adams wants us to win cups, pennants; Boston wishes us only booby prizes. North Adams has fur- nished the pilots who will represent St. Louis in the forihcoming bal'von race out of Berlin; Boston has furnished the basehall team that has done us out of the American League pennant. It strikes one that Mr. W1l..2m Deen Howells slightly erred when he made his famous remark that ‘‘the best thing about Boston is the 4:2 train to New York.”” We like the train to North Adams.

RAKING UP FORGET-ME-NOTS g & A Conversation With Tess | Reported for the Post-Dispatch BY JOSEPH A. FLYNN. 4¢ HEARD a strange tale last night,” I remarked to Tess this morning | at breakfast. “It seems a 19-year-old girl on the next block has just married her fourth husband. Funny, isn’t it?’’ “Thére’s nothing funny about ft,’ Tess replied, sizing up the general con- struction of a new coiffure on a fair boarder opposite. ‘“‘This merry world is made up of all kinds of people. If some of us didn’t have phony ideas there’d be no use living.

Interest in him gvas laid aside with the perfunctory finality with which the memory of Alixe was laid away. _As for Selwyn a few people noticed his presence at the services; but even that episode’ was forgotten before he left the city, six hours later, under an invitation from Washington which admitted of no delay on the score of private business or of personal per- plexity.

L - This Is Statistical | » Truth, Says

HELEN OLDFIELD. O far as is publicly known, no statistics have yet been compited upon the subject, but observation and evidence go to prove that ine average man marries somewhere apout the fifth or sixih girl with whom be falls tn~ love. There have been four or five rougs women. each of whom, for a longer or shorter period, he has regarded as the pamgon of her sex; but he hes already gotten over his infatuation and has married another, and probably con-— gratulates himself upon the fact that he has done so-—it would be most unfort- unate for himself and for his wife if he did not. Also it probably is equrtly a good thing for the four or five girls whom he did not marry. The manner of a girl's refusal should weigh heavily in the reception thereof. Any man with his fair shure of common sense ought to know whether he fs snubbed ur the contrary: whether +his suit is peremptorily declined of merely tentatively set aside; whether the negative is positive, or no more than the half affirmative of the old grammar rule. Another thing which the wooer should take into consideration m that women from their youth up are taught to repress their feelings and often are stiff and cold because of the effort at repression. Almost all women are more or loss nerv- ous, and mirth, which is hysterical, rather than merry, often is resented us ness from a woman's lipes and incense her suitor past forgiveness. An involun-> tary smile will be taken for hearlesasness by the man who is desperately in earnest. A humorous word will be an insult, a jest a proof of scorn. No man can bear to be laughed at, and his vanity, if not his heart, will receive «a wound which not easily is to be. healed. It is a pity, but women sometimes tose’ the men they love by a lack of self-control, which+is misconstrued into ridicule. According to the novels to\the day, the infinite form of proposal appears to be In favor at present. It cantiot too strongly be insisted upon that this is tn-— fair to both, more especially to the woman. If the man is in earnest—and no man who is not so ought to propose marriage—he clearly should make the wom- pulous one might annex a man who had no intention of asking ber to marry riage than—for the man, at least—to break it.—Chicago Tribune. —
