Secretary Lesuer and he Trusts Again.

Some of the Missouri trusts are be-
ginning to realize that it is not always
prudent to defy law and disregard the
will of the people. Secretary of State
Lesuer has honestly and faithfully en-
deavOrej to enforce the law, and if the
people We're informed of the insolent
manner in which he has been treated
for disc J arging his duty under the law,
1t is not 10 be doubted that some very
severe legislation would follow. But
Mr.. Lesueur is is not the kind of man
the trust barOns imagined hun to be.
He replies to their insOleut threats in a
mild but determined manner, and in
forms them that, as sworn officer of
the state, he proposes to enforce the
law and assume the consequences.
Defiant as many of the trusts have
been, they are now realizing that the
law can reach them. 1t is provided in
the antitrust law that corporation
defying the same can neither sue nor
be sued. A number of corporations in
this state which have disregarded the
law have suits pending against cred
itOrs and the law will act as a bar to
further proceedings. And this is not
vet the end. Prosecutions will follow,
and if the prosecuting attorneys dis
charge their duties as faithfully and
fearleSsly as Secretary OF State Lelueur
the trusts will soon realize that there is
no profit in disregarding law and pub
lie opinion.
There is yet another penalty which
the trusts will encounter. Being de-
prived of a legal existence, they can
neither sell nor transfer the property
they own, nor collect any money due
such corporation. Proof of the revoca-
ton of character by the secretary of
state is a complete bar in any court of
the state.-JefersOn CITY Tribune.

John l.. Thomas.

We understand that when the en-
SUNG political campaign opens, the
Hon. John L. Thomas, of Jefferson
county, the gentleman who is now the
Judge of this, the 26th Judicial Circuit
of Missouri, will be an aspirant for the
preme Judgeship, to succeed Judge
Ray.
Years ago this paper opposed the
nomination of Judge Thomas to the
position he now holds, in the interest
of Judge Emerson, at present U. S.
Marshal for the Eastern District of
Missouri, but that opposition had moth
ing in it which would initiate against
his selection to the Supreme Judgeship
now. 1t was not that we loved him
the less, but that we loved his oppo-
uent, citizen of our county. the more.
With ten years experience as a nisi
prius Judge, and more than twenty
as an active practitioner at the bar,
Judge Thomas would bring ripe and
great intellect to bear upon the impor-
tant questions heard in the Missouri
Court of last resort.
A cultured and a scholarly mind
deeply versed in the mysteries of the
law, and intellect sngularly well and
evenly balanced, an unpurchasable
honesty, ali unwavering fidelity to the
dictates of justice and fearlessness in
the discharge of duty, are the attrib-
utes he has shown upon the circuit
bench, and which he would carry with
him were he promoted to membership
in the higher tribunal. His election
would add strength to the Supreme
Court, would be an honor deserved by
faithful public servant, and neat
reward for life spent 10 the service of
mis- party and of his fellow citizens.
The IRON COUNTY REGISTER is for
him first, last and all the time.

stitutlon. We copy from the STAN
ddrd:
The town board ordered Tuesday night
that the marshal notify several parties TO tiN
their sidewalks or else it would it be done
for them, also told him to tell the famous
DR.. VIM TO get a shove on himself for the
benetit of the community. People are tired
of seeing him stand around the town and
write prescriptions for the boys and alcohol
buns. Ii this order is strictly carried out
many citizens will be very thankful to the

West Plains thinks she has large
deposits of iron in her immediate vicin-
ity, and we hope the future may DEM
onstrate such to be the fact. The Ga
zette says:
David Carson, the iron man, who has
been working up the iron deposits and pros
pecting for iron ore throughout the country
adjoining and close to West Plains for sever
al months, arrived in this city last Monday
and has been here nearly all week. He wants
and expects to come to Vest Plains about
the first of March, when he proposes TO
commence the erection of one, and, proDab-
" two, iron smelters in this city. He says
shere is iron ore enough hidden under the
ground in this vicinity to run smelters here
from now on Indefinitely, and that he pro-
poses putting up the smelters here and help
to develop this country and boom, substan-
TALLY, our little city. He has leased nearly
all the iron land he knows of in this vicinity
and will buy any that is for sale. He says,
in brief, that the next four months will show
us big things for Wost Plains and Howell
county.
