George and Lawrence Thomas, 19 and 17 years old, who are locked up at po- lite headquarters charged with waylay- ing and robbing S. Reid Holland at Webster Groves, say they turned high- waymen. to spite their uncle, George B. Waters of the Waters-Walsh Manu- facturing Co., Pierce Building, for cut- ting off their/dllowanee. In assaulting and robbing Holland, they used a re- volver. which, according to the confes- sion of. George, was stolen from the nome of his uncle. They were assisted in the robbery by Joseph Kubat, under arrest. The trio was captured after a tele- phone mestage from the Marshal at Webster Groves instructed the local po- lice to jwatch for a band of burglars and robbers headed for the Oregon Ho- tel at 1719 Market street. Detectives Fox and Thompson experi- enced difficulty in arresting the trio. George Thomas drew a revolver, and in the struggle, Thompson beat Thomas on the head with his pistol. The home of Nathan R. Waters \of Webster Groves, guardian of the Thom- as brothers, was entered Monday after- noon during the absence of the. family, and among the things stolen was an au- tomatic revolver, The Thomases were not suspected. until 11 p. m., shortly aft- er Holland had: been robbed; when it was discovered that the descriptian of two of the highwaymen fitted that of the Thomas brothers.

Lawrence Thomas has been studying law and bookkeeping at the Gem City Business College iz Quincy, Ml. He quit his studies after his uncle wrote him that his inheritance was exhausted. “When the kid got his letter telling him there was no money for him, I in- vited him to come ‘and stop with me,” said George Thomds. ‘“Kubat, a Bo- hemian, from New York, enlisted in the Marine Corps Thursday and he has also been stopping with me. “We didn’t have any trouble getting the Bohemian to go with us. He was willing. So we went out to Webster last night. I was figuring on holding up my uncle. “I thought it would be easy, but, say, that young fellow we stopped wanted to give us a battle. He was game. When I told him to throw up his hands he wanted to know what he should do that for, and when I told him we wanted to rob him, he laughed and put up his hands as if he was going to fight. The Bohemian and I had to knock him down and beat him with the gun. We-beat him. pretty badly and then took: his diamond pin, watch and money. The Bohemian took the pin and. lost it on the way back.” The father of the Thomas boys was, before his death, general freight and passenger agent of the Santa Fe road in Pueblo.

AS SUCCESSOR 10 COLONEL PRELPS A Name Mentioned © as Next Chief of Gould Railroads Lobby at Capital. RIVAL OF PREDECESSOR Went to Jefferson City as “Statistician,” Remained as an Influence. The retirement of ‘“Col.”’ William H. (Bill) Phelps from the legal and legis- lative staff of the Mfssouri Pacific sys- tem caused widespread comment in rail- road and political circles, Tuesday. For nearly a quarter of a century, Phelps, who was the protege of the late Col. John O’Day of Frisco fame, had been regarded as the most brilliant and resoureeful leader of tie corpora- tion forces at Jefferson City, and the one man who could change overnight the trend of a legislative body or polit- ical convention. That the duties performed by Phelps for the Gould railroad interests will now fall to another honorary James Monroe Seibert, for 12 years Au- diter of Missourl,.an uncompromising rival of Phelps in the councils of the | Democratic party of this State, is con- sidered of more than erdinary signifi- cance. It is no secret among railroad and political authorities that for several years the Missouri Pacific legal inter- ests have not agreed on political matters, the opposing factions being led by Alexander G. Cochrane, who has just resigned a $30,000-a-year job as general solicitor, and his successor, Martin L. Glardy Greater Power. Of the two Clardy, by reason of his former service in Congress and his pop- ularity among-.the Democratic rank and file in Southeast Missouri, was adjudged the greater political power. Although Cochrane, as also Clardy, remained {in ths background, his ‘near- est and most influential politica! and ee ono adviser was Phelps, Clardy’s “ nerntor: was Cdl Séibert; the Aceniiatt factor in that faction of the Missouri Democracy headed by William J, Stone.

' Legislators and politicians who had been transacting business’ through Phelps were given another jolt when they discovered that Seibert also had succeeded to the business of represent- ing other corporations in a legislative capacity, notably the American Tobacco Co. It was embarrassing, however, for anti-Sténe and anti-Seibert Democrats to ask Seibert for transportation favors. They wouldn't do it, and they didn’t do-@, with the result that _Phelps finally came to their rescue. When the anti-lobby law became effective, two years Jater, Seibert went to Jefferson City and registered as a regularly paid lobbyist, but Phelps insisted he ‘was merely an cttorney. About this time the number of smok- ing pipes in the vicinity of Jefferson City began to increase and legislators and their friends began talking about the fine brand of tobacco that was be- ing dispensed in a certain room at the Madison Hotel. Inquiry developed that Col. Seibert had received a barrel of tobacco from his client, the American Tobacco Co. A ‘proposed anti-cigarette law | was defeat- ed, at that session. Phelps, the mortal enemy of Stone. of whom he said; ““‘We both suck eggs, but he hides the shells,"’ admitted that he hati had enough of lobby work, and inti- mated that he might soon retire, This decision became a certainty when Cochrane severed his connection with the Missouri Pacific Co. It is guia by his friends that Phelps has accumy- lated a fortune of more than a million dollars, and that he has extensive pri- vate affairs. * He is about 62 years ola. M. G. Merriam, assistant to Vice pres. ident Clarke, made it clear to a Pogt- Di:pateh reporter that Phelps’ retire- ment was pureiy voluntary. Neither mr. Clarke or Mr. Clardy would be seen regarding the rumor that the Missouri Pacific imtended to abolish the office of legislative agent. ENGINEER’S ARM IS BROKEN WHEN ENGINE IS “SIDE-Swipep” B. F.

RIVER NO EXCUSE FOR ARBITRARY S CONTENTION City Council to Get Report of Committee That Held Conferences. Conferees of the City Countil, in an answer to the published statement of W. S. McChesney, President of the Ter- minal Association, which they will sub- ‘mit to the City Council Tuesday after- noon, will contend that the river gives the railroads no excuse for inflicting a freight and passenger arbitrary on St. Louis. It will be pointed out in the answer that the railroads have admitted that if there were no*river there would be no arbitrary. The river, it will be ar- gued, should no more be considered than should cn imaginary line between the city and the county, but the bridge and the tracks of the Terminal As- sociation should simply be considered as terminal facilities.- The mere fact that the bridge and terminal tracks are held in common, it will be contended, does not justify the imposition of tolls which would not be imposed if the roads maintained inde- pendent terminals. Instead of that be- ing an excuse for an arbitrary, it justi- fies the demands for the removal of the arbitrary because the combination en- ables the,reads to save money on ter- minals. - Instead of giving St. Leuis the benefit of this saving, the practice of the Ter- minal has been, according to the con- ferees, to make the saving an excuse for inflicting. excessive charges. The conferees are Councilmen Schutz, Schneiderhahn, Drew and Gundlach, the latter the President of the Council. They represented the Council in the conference with the Terminal Cémmis- sion and the Terminal Associatien and city officials, which were held in an attempt to reach an agreement on the terms by which the city would surren- der streets and alleys in the Ranken tract. There is no doubt that the Coun- efi will adopt the conferees’ answer. Among the councilmen thére is a feel- ing that if everything else fails to bring the Terminal! to terms, an effective club will be the prospect of such action as will compel the removal of the many illegal tracks now used by the Terminal in all parts of the city, which were laia on worthless permits issued by Mayor Wells and Mayor Kreismann.

Three families became involved in the affairs of John Frohly and his wife, Chloe Frohly, a8 a result of her al- leged jealous nature, according to tes- timony at the trial of the husband's divoree suit in Judge Muench’s court. To disentangle the mixup, Bert Hider was in court to testify how it hap- pened that his wife went riding with Frohly and to explain further how Mrs. Elder’s sister, Mrs. Bert Jones, who is separated from her husband, went rid- ‘fing also. Then Mrs. J. L. Nelson of 99230 Paim street was called as a witness to tell how she had been unjustly accused by Mrs. Frohly. Mrs. Nelsen identified an anonymous letter she received, the writ- ing of which had been previously iden- tified by Frohly on: the stand as that of his wife. The letter was addressed to Mr. Nelson, but the contents were in- tended for his wife. It was as follows: Dear Madam: I am’ aware of your conduct with Mr. Frohly. You have injured yourself riding areurd with him. Do you know’ he is a married man? I ask you in the name of his wife to let him alone. She has many friends and is a’ worthy woman. If you don’t believe it call on her at her home. Hope yeu will read this carefully and avoid further trouble from one who knows all. Husband Is Confident. Shortly after receiving the letter, Mrs. Nelson said she met Mrs. Frohicy in a drug store at Grand avenue and Hick- ory street and that the latter caused a scene. “T did not know her husband, had ney- er seen him and, of course, never went riding with him,’’ Mrs. Nelson said.

MINER RESCUED ALIVE AFTER BEING BURIED FOR A WEEK One of His* Three Companions Dead, the Other Two Not Yet Reached. -MARQUETTE, Mich., Dec. 21.—Two of the four men who were entombed in the Negaunee mine a week ago by a sudde; run of mud have been found. Frank Condello was alive and Peter Mundi was dead. -The two other men have not yet been reached. Condello is in good condition. He was buried in a space only a few feet square and was witheut food. He had plenty of water, however, and when take out was able to walk with one man supporting him. The rescued miner is married. The four miners were entombed 600 feet under ground when a stream of mud suddenly gushed into the sub- level where they were. It is supposed that in firtng a blast a hole was broken through the roof. The mud was as thin as batter and it coursed its way Into the mine like so much water. The rescue work was difficult. It has been prosecuted without a minute’s in- ¢ | ermission ever since the accident and

Gospel of Jesus Christ. : roe an "* pi eset | The Rev. William C C. Biting, of the Second. Baptist. Church, pentor that he attacked dogmas of the church or in any Way attempted to formulate dogmas of his own in his sermon Sun- day at the convocation services of the University of Chiengie' 2 his brethren in the The Rev. Mr. said that he was not defending Prof. George B. Fos- ter, who was expelled from the Baptist Ministers’ Conference as a heretic. He says he has never read any of Foster's books and that he bas no sympathy with his dogmas or ideas. “I am simply amazed that anyone, much less a brother in the miistry, should give credit to garbled reports of any utterance Which & minister makes, as appearing in the average newspaper,” Dr. Bitting said Tuesday morning at his home, 6109 McPherson avenue, to a Post- Dispatch reporter, — Simple Gospel Statement. “My sermon in Chietago wag the con- vocation or commeneément sermon. My text was ‘Thou Shalt Love the Lord Thy God With All Thy Heart and Mind and Soul and Strength, and Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself.’ The sermon was a simple gospel statement of Jesus’ idea of religion a8 expressed in those words. “After the service, at the request of aj Chicago reporter, I gave him the man- uscript. I have not\seen the paper, but was told that this reporter in the Chi- cago Tribune construed the sermon as a defense of Prof. Foster. “The statement that the sermon was intended to defend him was a most as- tounding. and malieious. falsehood. I since learned that this particular re- porter made it his business to stir up all the trouble he could for the Uae versity of Chicago. “IT have never read one of Foster's books. I-have no sympathy with tits views as I have learned them from oth- ers and as told me on one occasion by himself. I am as far from espousing his cRuse as any of my ministerial ‘crit- ics can be. I have charity enough to think that my brethren in the ministry of St. Louls may have been inaccurate- ly reported in the Post-Dispatch of Dec. » Sentences Backed Out. ‘*The only report of the sermon I saw in a Chicago paper literally wernt through the mass and snipped out a few sentences which the reporter evidently thought were ‘salty,’ and left entirely urdisturbed any whole paragraph han would give the true idea of what I tried to say. «| “I may state that. the sermon was substantially the same as I had preached in my own chureh several years ago, before the sensation about Dr. Foster was born, I have mo desire to say unkind words about my brethren in the ministry or about any: human being. “I did not. have Dr. Foster in mind, and thought of no one whatever except the Christ whose message I was delty- ering. All allusions to dogmas and theological quibbles were references to religious conditions at the time of Jesus, and were made in explaining the cir. cumstances on two occasions in gospel

Maybe you had not thought of it, but this is the shortest day of the year. That is why it was ‘so dark when your papa went to work this morning, and that is why bedtime will come so soon after supper time tonight. You must go to bed early every night now, so that you will be used to it by Christmas Eve. You should all be in bed by 8 o’clock on that great night, because that will give me @ chance to get out early and make my rounds. Don’t you understand that I can't call on-all of the little boys and girls in # single night, unless I start out soon after my supper dishes are cleared away? 4O washes the dishes?. Why, what a question Mrs. Santa Claus, of W course. She is suen a good housekeeper that she keeps everything nice and straight at home, and I don’t have to worry about any- thing except to gather toys from all over the world for my dear children— and, maybe, to look after the furnace once in @ while. ol Mrs. Santa Claus is one of the nicest women in the world. afraid you will never ste her, because she doesn’t like riding In my inne sleigh, and I give away so many things to the children that I can’t afford to buy her an automobile. UT she loves you, too, and she always gives something to the Post-Dis- ~ patch Christmas Festival Fund. Only four more days, and I'll be with you. Be good. Your loving SANTA CLAUS.

j said he was here — his return from the Arctic. “TI discounted el decision from the University of Copenhagen some tinie ago. In common with the rest-of the world I was delighted with the first news from Dr. Cook that he had dis- covered the pole. His actions, however, and his failure to make more than the meager statements regarding his trip which early followed his return to civi- lization took some ofthe smack off the supposed triumph. “I began to weaken decidedly when Dr. Cook left us all without so much as a word of good-by. When a man runs away you can’t expect his friends to fight for him, and Cook’s flight—for that’s what it seemed to me to amount to—killed all my interest in him and his affairs. Before that I had never had reason to doubt Cook and his whole course in this matter seems inexplica- i ble to me. “Tl am sick of the whole blooming | polar business and I don’t want to hear anything more about the North Pole or any of its attributes,”” was the’ charac- teristic way in whieh .Mr, . Bradley summed up his attitude. | Closest Friend Is Amazed. Charles Wake, Dr. Cook’s closest per- sonal friend, and the only person be- side his brother who ew the where- abouts of the explorer in the last few weeks, was so dumbfounded when in- formed of the verdict reached by the University’ of Copenhagen that he gasped for breath, and dropped the tele- phone receiver. | “This is such a severe vilow to me that I cannot now fully appreciate it,” Mr. Wake, when he had partially recovered his composure. “I had every confidence in Dr, Cook. Yet I am well acquainted with the authorities of the University of Copenhagen, and I know that any verdict they reach is jost and true. “Dr. Cook never expected this adverse decision, I know, for he always spoke with full confidence that the professors would decide that he had gone to the pole. “At present I do not know what to think of my old friend, Dr. Cook. Cer- tainly I never dreamed of such a fraud as now seems apparent.’’ \ Mr. Wake said Dr. Cook's wife is with him in Norway, but that his children are here. Mr. Wake is a general agent for a large insurance company, is rated as wealthy and’ has been one of Dr. Cagk’s most earnest champions from the beginning. “From my personal knowledge of Dr. in the Aretic, I-never wavered in my beHef that Dr. Cook tould never prove the claims he made,” said Herbert L. ag ore secretary of the Peary Arctic iub, when thformed of the verdict of tHe Copenhagen scientists. “I thor- oughly believed in the story of Peary and the Eskimo that Cook- had not gone far north. Again, Dr. Cook's story was filled with holes, so ‘that anyone who had knowledge of Arctic cénditions could plainly see that no faith could be placed in it.” Dr. Cook’s claims that he made the ascent of Mount McKinley, in Alaska, the highest peak in Anierica, is now under investigation by a committee of the Explorers’ Club here. Dr. Cook promised to appear before the commit-

terday. For the" first time the unani- mous consent calendar, devised by Rep- resentative Fitzgerald of New York, 85 ta compromise in the fight over the House rules, got a try out.

MINEOLA, L. 1, Dec. 21:—After Dr. Robert Pue, who was called to the stand today to help the defense of W. G. Brokaw, the millionaire who is be- ing sued by his wife for a separation and $60,000 a year alimony, had testified that the couple loved each other one minute and then had a row the next, and that Mrs. Brokaw had called Bro- kaw a “damned liar,’’ and had told him to go to hell, Mrs. Brokaw collapsed in court. . It was at recess. The physician had just left the stand. Mrs. Brokaw rushed ‘around the jury box and confronted the physician. “Oh, doctor,’’ she cried, “‘why did you say all that; did you not know that mail was two cablegrams for my hus- band? You said I started the quarrels. Don’t you remember he was drunk? Oh, oh.”’ “There, there, Mrs. Brokaw, don’t make a scene,’’ admonished her lawyer, Mr. Baldwin, who saw a crowd assem bling. “Oh, and charges that I whipped maids and then all this testimony. I am so sick, Mr. Baldwin.’’ Tears filled the large eyes sO much admired. ‘Her brother gently led her away Lawyer Baldwin remained in private conversation with the physician.

In a motion for an additional counsel fee of $5000 made by lawyer Baldwin when court resumed, the plaintiff's counsel remarked that at least another 1@ days would be required to cross- examine the remaining 18 witnesses to be called ‘by the defense. “Originally, Mr: Brokaw’s lawyers be- lieved it would take but two days to hear the trial. We have been at it 12 days now and the end is not yet,’’ said Lawyer Baldwin. Lawyer McIntyre made a strong op- posing plea. Justice. Putnam reviewed the length of the trial, the onerous duties of the Court, and announced his intention of awarding Mrs. Brokaw’s counsel en additional $3000. Mr. McItnyre urged a suspension of judgment: until he could file an. affi- davit attesting Brokaw’s diminished in- come. Butler Sidney T. Woods, whose sen- sational testimony that a nurse, Miss See, complained to him ‘that she had been kicked and whipped and dis- charged while in Mrs. Brokaw’s serv- ice, was the climax of an exciting day, was recalled. Mrs. Brokaw was ‘pale and haggard. It was stated by her brother, J. Bul- lard Blair, that Mrs. Brokaw had spent a sleepless night. The long- drawn struggle and the startling in- sinuations trat a-reason for his fre- quent changes of maids and nurses was her occasional use of horsewhip, have unnerved her. he said she seemed on the verge of a complete breakdown. Several times she got up from her seat and hastened from the -courtroom while Lawyer Baldwin strove to break down Woods’ testimony. Her brother followed her into the corridor where she stood and wept. Her eyes were red and swollen. She seemed utterly fatigued ‘and crestfallen, as if a great weight had overwhelmed her. One time» when she hurried into the corridor to be relieved of the strain, her husband who had watched her ap- parent breakdown with more than curi- osity, followed. Several persons slipped from the room to watch the estranged couple. Brokaw waited near where his wife stood, but she disdainfully turned away, wiped the tears from her eyes and hurried back into the courtroom, Tells of Cocktalls. The butler’s repeated stories of carry- ing cocktails and cigarettes to Mrs. Brokaw’s room at times, distressed her. She seemed to make a heroic struggle against an outburst in the courtroom, while her eyes blinked furiously as she seemed to stem a tide of tears when Woods repeated Miss Lee's story of be- ing whipped. “Miss Lee conveyed to me the idea that’ these cocktails were to be made for Mrs. Brokaw and herself. I made two each time. The nurse always wert directly to Mrs. Brokeaw's bedroom,” testified the witness. Physician Called.

CASES DEATH OF C. C. RIDER Member of Post-Dispatch Staff. Succumbs After Seven Weeks’ Illness. ‘WORK BEGUN IN | | Formerly a Member of Local | Force and Later a Washing- ton Correspondent. 1900 Chester Crosby Rider, for nearly ten years a member of the Post-Dispatch staff, died at 4:15 @. m. Tuesday at his home, 1269 Hamilton avenue, after an illness of seven weeks. Heart dis- ease was the cause of death, His wife, Mrs. Josephine Rider, and his mother, with a nurse, were with him in his last hours. They had ‘been his constant attendants during an ‘ll- ness which, because of the weakness of his héart, had made’ it impossible for him to Me down in bed. A reclining chair had been his only couch since his severe sickness began. Mr. Rider, who was 31 years old, had filled a wide range of responsible news- paper positions. He came to St. Louis soon after his graduation from. Colum- bia University, New York City, and joined the Post-Dispatch staff in 1900. His first work was as subifrban re- porter, first in Clayton and then in East 8t. Louis. . Trip te Mexico Recalied. The ability which he showed as a writer and a newsfatherer caused him soon to be transferred to the regular city staff. He was intrusted with var- fous regular and special assignments, and frequently was sent out of the city on missions connected with import- ant news. One of these journeys was to Guadalajara, Mexico, where he ac- companied Chief of Detectives Desmond and Sheriff Dickmann on their suc- cessful expedition after Charies Kratz, then accused ef bribery. When the World's Fair made the or- ganization of a special staff necessary. Mr. Rider was placed in charge of the Post-Dispatch bureau at the ©§xposi- tion grounds. In his work there he be- came acquainted with the heads of the Fair and with foreign envoys, and showed marked ability in making friends and in keeping in touch with important events. Following the World's . Fair, Mr. Rider was detailed to editorial work in the Post-Dispatch office, He was at varoys times assistant city editor, city editor and telegraph éedit.r, Two years ago he was ma Washington co: - spondent, and in the winter he spen the national capital gained a wide: ac- quaintance with, public men. When the Post-Dispatch, last March, sent-a party of St. Louis school chii- dren to Washington to witness Presi- dent Taft’s inauguration, Mr. Rider was detailed to accompany tnem. The arrangements which he made for their accommoedation were upset by the se- vere weather, which changed the plans for the inauguration ceremony, but his acquaintance with public officials en- abled him to get the children admitted to see the ceremony, so that they were not disappointed in the chief object of their journey. Mrs. Rider and the Rev. W. J. Williamson and wife also actom- panied the party of children to Wasn- ington. He ‘“‘covered’’ the Republican and Democratic national: conventions of 1908 for the Post-Dispatch. The only interruption to his service with the Post-Dispatch was in 1901, when he went to St. Joseph to become city editor of the Gazette. From St. Josepn he went to Fort Worth, Tex., where he was one of the editors of the Telegram. He returned from Fort Worth to S8t. Louis in 1902. Native of New York. He was a native of Cassville, N. Y., but his parents in recent years have lived in Brookfield, Mo. His father died there last spring. He was married eight years ago. Besides his wife and moth- er, a brother, H. BE. Rider of New York, and a sister, Mrs. Henry Tooey of Brookfield, survive him. The body will be taken to Brookfield Tuesday night, and the funeral will be held there Thursday afternoon. Mr. Rider was a member of the Presbyteri- an Church and was connected with the Men’s Brotherhood of the church in this city. At one time in his student life he was president of the Columbia Uni- versity branch of the Y. M. C. A.

PRESENT CENSORSHIP. In his review of “The Girl From Rector’s,” whose first appearance in New York caused even the Tenderloin to raise its eyebrows, Ripley D. | Saunders cites the fact that his report of the in- : decency of “The Blue Mouse” last season was fol- lowed by crowded houses, and adds: It is, of , no business of mine what attend- ance effect is produced by .telling the truth about plays. The Post-Dispatch expects f me a faithful report on the current drama each week and the play- going public expects of me a review that shall en- lighten playgoers concerning the character of the play then under treatment. This is a fair statement of the obligation of a _ mewspaper to the public, and it is an obligation _ which the Post-Dispatch purposes discharging to ‘the full. Ample warning is given and those who Rave clean minds and self-respect are privileged to avoid contamination. If the theater is packed pe ae the result of the publication of the unvar- nished truth, there is justification for the mana- : gers’ plea that they are endeat ing to please the - public taste. Certainly there is small opportunity for complaint. Rabbi. Harrison, acknowledging * himself an inveterate playgoer, said he had never geen. a salacious drama. He avoideu them,, as _ @myone may. Need we concern ourselves with ‘those who not only do not wish to avoid in- | decency, but like it? When the public wishes ate put an end to evil plays, it can do so quickly —— =: ‘it the retirement of Col. Phelps from the Missou- : ri Paeific’s legal department really means that

Princes and lords may flourish or may fade, Japan may annex Manchuria, Lioyd-George |may fall down on his budget, Canada gobble our trade ‘with France and the standpatters weep scalding tears over the doom of the maximum of 26 per cent additional on everything; such things halt in the face of the momentous question of who shall enjoy the honor of Jep Howe’s or Wil- liam Warner’s patronage and the emoluments of 1 $4500 a year. It isn’t a great sum compared with the cost ot a battleship of the “back duty” on sugar; like Mercutio’s hurt, ““’Tis not so deep asa well, nor so wide as a church door, but ‘tis enough; ‘twill ij gerve.”’ It caused Nagel, whose other duty is taking the census, sleepless nights. It turned the aften- tion of Attorney-General Wickersham from trust busting. It changed William Warner from a grave and reverend Senator into a sentry in the White House vestibule. It caused Gov. Hadley to take sides, although no Democrats were in- volved. It made Jep Howe keep quiet and set the St. Louis City Committee by the ears. Men whose time comes high and whose serVices can’t be bought gave both freely and Mr. Taft spent all the time between two meals in weighing the pro arguments and con arguments, the latter being the weightiest. Is it not one of the mysteries of politics? The duty of the District Attorney is to represent the Government and prosecute those cherged with violating Federal Jaws. Can the choice of Nagel do this better than the choice of Warner? Is Howe’s man better than Hadley’s or Kiel’s as good? What is back of it all? Why a million dollar’s worth of effort to land a $4500 job? What can Nagel’s District Attorney do against Warner and what could Warner’s do to repay him his toil. Is Howe greater or less in his victory, if it is his victory? Why, what and wherefore? Li i i i i if Cook is a faker, as the Danish verdict indi- cates, he is a wonderful guesser, and what was he doing while starving and shivering with his two Eskimos in the frozen north? His fake was as difficult an achievemert as the discovery of the pole. The most interesting story about him is yet to be told.

= = -~ re THE GOSPEL OF LOVELINESS. Mrs. Pankhurst, the English suffragette, recent- ly addressed the Eton boys on her “cause,” ex- plaining it and begging them to espouse it as something not only holy, but sure to win. After her departure the youths voted the cause “rotten’’ but- the methods “lovely.” .It was a frank, boyish answer to the call of the wild,. an acknowledgment that underneath the jacket of the overcivilized gentleman’s son beat the heart of the savage, the primitive man who loved strife for strife’s sake. It is not so very far from the cave of the stone age to the palaces, mansions and white houses of this ethical age. And few of us are entirely deaf to the lure of violence, of brute force, of brainless brawn. Old as well as young, the vast majority of vivilized men love to read about a fight, a simple majority love to see it; and a highly respectable minority loye.to be in it. We are often too discreet to acknowledge the truth, but most of us think it is lovely. During this first decade of the twentieth cen- tury the worship of mere physical force has be- come an article of faith to many sane men and women. It is.a kind of obsession. And ideals

‘and objects of hope and endeavor lose their hold upon the imagination unless they are somehow identified with the advantages of superior physi- cal force. Justice is a secondary consideration. Mercy is the bauble of a weakling. Right follows might, humbly, or not at all. This is the gospel of loveliness... The Eton boys expressed a wholesome natural instinct. C,vilization always enervates to some degree, and it does not always,ennoble. An ideal of strong bodily health and force is good to foster, even though it does issue now and then in boy- ish “scraps.” A people who cherish such ideals of force are still in good health, But it is an- other matter when they are led to believe that force is the all in all, to be honored for its own sake and not for the nonor it should serve. _-_=_ 4 - William Watson, his brother explains, is un- balanced. The explanation has the merit of be- ing lucid.

Now see how plain a tale will set them down. Dispatches from New York antounce that Dr. of| Eliot, former president of Harvard University, has sued for an injiinction against two publishing houses to restrain them from publishing his The report adds: “Tt ts said that the 50 volumes which Dr. Eliot is editing for his five-foot shelf of all knowledge is offered to the public at prices from $100 td $345, according te make-up, binding, etc., and that the nest | rival publishers have. informed the public that ithe public may. obtain from them ‘practically fifty ally} Volumes in ten’ for $4.25, with a year’s subscrip- tion toa magazine thrown in,” ‘On the face of this story we have evidence that ee weer tet 8 wise Of scholar

He did not say “50 books” or “20 pounds avoirdupois of books.” Wither of those phrases would have fallen flat upori the dull ears of men. He said, “Five feet of books.” Behold, a new phrase; a subject for editorials, paragraphers, jokes, pected Bterat? reviews, interviews and car- toons. What more was needed? Publishers with a clear understanding of the value of extensive and per- sistent advertising soon perceived what was go- ing to happen to those much talked of but unread books. They began making arrangements to fur- nish them to the curiosity-aroused public. It now appears that while some publishers arranged to print them cheaply, another firm sought to corner the market by a copyright. Incidentally, the public may note in the suit an- other moral pertinent to the times. The books which the competing firms offer with a magazine for $4.25 will, if the copyright monopoly have its way, be held up to the price of $100. That is how a trust works.

LEYTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Cost of Burial in Big Cemeteries, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Seeing a-letter the other evening beats someone saying our beautiful Forest Park was only for the rich, made me think that so are most of our ceme- teries only for the wealthy. The way they have of selling the lots and the enormous price they ask for the same, bars all people of the so-ch&lled middle or er- dinary working classes from laying their beloved ones were it would be both convenient and pleasant to lay them. Think you that the people who only have moderate salaries are not just as anxious to bury their dead in Bellefontaine or Calvary ag those who are blessed with lots of money or large sal- aries? I think it a shame when you ride through those cemeteries and see all the ground there is there, that @ person must take a great big lot that fs a great deal more than they want and pay that enormous price for it, Where there are only two or three to be buried, why should a person be made to pay $810 for a place to be laid away when half that amount would be sufficient? There are many who are not rich who would like to be laid away in Bellefontaine, and especially those who are old citizens who have spent all their lives here and have helped to make our grand city what it now is, the metropolis of the West. INTERESTED. Two Sides to the Chauffeur. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There are on an average 1100 street cars operating \ in St. Louls; there are now, I believe, more than 3)” automobiles operated on the streets of St. Lwutis. There are*more than 5000 claims annually aga‘nst the United Railways Co, for accidents. [{ do nor belicve there are 100 claims against automobiles in this city a year, although there are ‘tree times as many operated on the streets cs street cars. Street cars run on a beaten track, where people know they are running—the automobile drivers run under all condi- tions—slick streets, wet streets, snow, sleet, etc. Below is a copy of a letter I have just written to Cc. F. & J. R. Brown Automobile Co. regarding their chauffeur, George Gebhardt, who taught me to drive the car I purchased from them. I think it is due the driver that you publish this article: “Upon learning of the automobile accident in which George Gebhardt was concerned, you will remember that I telephoned you expressing my great regret at George's misfortune. To what I said then, I now wish to add that from my experience with George as a driver, I do not believe he was careless in this instance. I found him just the contrary—a careful, observant and thoroughly competent driver. He is cool-headed, knows cars thoroughly, pays strict attention to what he is doing and is not frivolous er ‘smart.’ Both my wife and myself have commented repeatedly (before this trouble came up, and since) on his capability, carefulness, character and indus- try. It would be a lamentable miscarriage ef justice if an honest, careful and conscientious boy of his character and ability were to be made the scape- goat of reckless and conscienceless drivers who speed up and dash away from the scene of an accident, merely because of the importance of the victim 7. 8:8 Such a result would put @ premium on the cowardice of the driver who runs away. “I sincerely hope that George may come out of the ordeal fully vindicated. This hope is not influenced } by any motive of relationship, either to him or your- selves, as my acquaintanceship with him and your- selves, as you know, has been purely of a business nature in connection with my purchase of a car from you. F. L. OBBORNE, “Advertising manager Peters Shoe Co." .. How Brutality May Be Stopped. To the Mditor of the wey ore § 4 I wouJd say to Mrs, Nettie Knoble that if she had telephoned to Mr. John H. Holmes of the Missouri Humane Society npon the discovery of the shock- ing condition of the poor, suffering horse she de- scribed in the Post-Dispatch it would have received immediate attention, and the brutal owner of the horse would have been promptly arrested. It may be a waste of time to appeal to a police officer. 1 tried that when I lived on Easton avenue three months, and the sights I witnessed daily so in- censed and unnerved me that I moved off the street and never want to ode tt again. When I notified Mr. Holmes of some case\ of brutality, Mr. Monahan im- ™mediately responded and arrested the driver whén necessary. But the Missour! Humane Society is handicapped in many ways and hasn't the power of ubiquity. As long as there are three different so- cleties there will be a division of forces counteract- ing and antagonizing each other. JESSIE W. LEE. The Postal Deficit. To the Editor of the Post-Dispateb. In Mr. Taft’s message to Congress he complains that the deficit in the Pnenthie Department is caused by the low rate of postage on second-class mail matter; and, as a remedy, he advised that the rate be raised. Does anyone think for a moment that to raise the postage on second-class matter would reme- dy the situation? Just think for a moment; to raise the price of postage would compel many small peri- odicals to quit business; the magazines, church and Sunday school papers would be sent by express, and delivered at the churches and bookstores and news- stands. The express companies would thank Mr. Taft for a great increase in business. le Taft would force many small publications to quit b , besides | running our postoffice farther in debt by raising _

a ntti. DELUSIVE “WHITE SLAVE” LAW. From the New York World. gration law no great public good is lMke- ly to result from Congressional legislation to suppress the so-called ‘‘white-slave’”’ traffic, Beyond this point the authority of Congress is limited. It can be ex- tended only to transportation from one State to another, and even in these cases there is grave doubt as ta its con- etitutional power. The problem belongs to the States ond will always remain one for the States, regardless of any action that the Fed- eral Government may, take. In fact, Federal interference is more likely to be injurious than helpful, for it will fur nish to the local authorities everywhere @ new excuse for evading their responsi- bilities and shirking their duty. This is invariably the result when State and Federal governments undertake to Jo the same thing. It is reported from Washington that some of the Democratic members of «he Interstate Commerce Committee oppose the Mann bill on the ground that it in- terferes with the right of the States to regulate their own morals. The interfer- ence is more theoretical thar actual, fur only the States can regulate their own morals, whatever legislation Congress may enact. The strongest objection to the measure is that it would weaken the pressure of public opinion upon the local authorities by deluding the coun- try into believing that great benefits in the way of minimizing the ‘“‘white-slave” evil would result from Cungreameael action.

, BILL BUTTS SOLILOQUY. From the New York Evening World. ‘“Tt’s a lucky thing for me,” said Bill Butts, the Boy Detective, to himself, “that my folks were plain people and believed in plain names. Supposing, for instance, I had been named after the fashion of my distinguished kinsman, Archie Butts, the military factotum of President Taft. “I’m on a case and I’ve trapped my man. I stand facing him fearlessly, with a scowl on my face. “And who are you?” he asks, “*Archibald Willingham De Graffen- reid Butt, Boy Detective!’ I answer. “Honestly, I believe I'd have to laugh saying it. Anyhow, before I got through, my man would be on the next block.” |

THE FARMER'S DILEMMA. From the Washington Star. “You are a lucky man,” said the city dweller. “When prices are high you can raise all you want to eat.” “Yes,” answered Farmer Corntossel, “but when I think of what tt would bring in market I don’t feel as if I could afferd to eat it.”

BY ROBERT EDGREN.., NEW YORK, Dec. 21. ILLIE LEWIS is a clever fighter W in America, but over in Paris he’s a wonder. Willie may have picked a few lemons on the other side— no doubt he has. In spite of that fact he deserves a lot of credit, for his vic- tim, the Australian heavyweight, Sid Russell, was a good man, and had about 40 pounds the best of the. weight. Frank Erne told the a few days ago that Russell was a very clever boxer— not a hard hitter, but wonderfully game, a good defensive fighter, and as hard to hurt as any heavyweight in the game. In spite of all these things, and the
