Amid cries of "Kill the jews" the
thousands of countrymen descended
upon the covering victims. They at
tackled Jewish shops and dwellings, driv-
ing the owners out from them or hold
ing them powerless to defend them
selves or their property, and plundered
them of everything valuable. What
was considered not worth stealing was
wantonly destroyed.
Some of the Drawer Jews resisted this
looting of their property, but this only
made matters worse for them, and three
of them were killed. Many others who
attempted in the frenzy of fear to de-
fend their families or property from the
mob were set upon and severely
wounded. The rioting in the Jewish
quarter continued for hours, and, al
though the authorities were we'll aware
of the outrages being committed, they
did not take a step to prevent them nor
in any way interfere to protect the Jews

The Duke of D.youSbire paad

LONDON, Dec. 22.-The duke of Devon
Shire died yesterday after a long illness.
William Cavendish, duke of Devonshile.
was the grandson of the earl of Burlinr-
ton, and was born April %, 1908 He was
educated AT Trinity college, Cambridge,
where he was graduated as NJ
A. in 1929. Lord Frederick Cay,n-
dish who was murdered in Dublin park
in 1852, was his son. The duke
never amounted to much in politics. but
was good landlord and very popular with
his English tenants, and just as unpopular
with those in Ireland. The principal sig
nificance of his death j. that it sends .or.i
harrington to the house of lords.

MISSOURI WORLD BREvITEs,

rect It by any combination. Go il

1T is the Democratic party's turn to
squeal now. The third party move is
booming In the south.
u. s. Hall being a prominent figure
in the Texas sO-called anti-sub-treasury
Alliance meeting Is a dead give away.
No further evidence is necessary to prove
1t partisan move.
Lecturer Willis Is In the south, and
Is no doubt doing good work, but what
says cannot be proved by the st. Louis he
Republic. A dispatch In that paper OF
18th quotes Willis as using language
which we will bet horse he never used.
The st. Louis Republic is as big liar as
the Topeka Capital.
Much obliged to the Democratic
politicians Of Texas for calling that GALL
ance anti-Sub-treasury meeting" at Fort
Worth, Texas. Texas Alliance seems TO
be almost solid for the sub treasury, and
this meeting will serve to assist the exc

any nation from adopting 1t, and by a

cur.
Third-It will kill the gamblers in
grain and beef. 1t will regulate the
fares ON all railroads, ships and boats.
Fourth-It will prevent extortlon from
all consumers Of farm products.
Fifth-It will employ all idle men and
keep wages Of labor up TO the standard.
Sixth-lt Will furnish farmers money
whenever they need it. Undoubtedly
there will need to be large amount Of
money issued to carry 1t into effect, but
it is the duty of Congress to furnish II
and not to let bankers do 1t.
Seventh Congress has decided that
money can be issued upon commodities
by reducing silver to a commodity and
issueing silver certificates on it. Let
them do the same with farm products,
dollar for dollar. Make this money a
legal tender and make 1t felony for any
man to discriminate against any money
issued by government authority. This
will settle the gold standard and send the
loan agents and other conspirators to the
lock up, where they deserve to be.
Something in favor Of this theory:
Whoever owns the surplus products con-
trolls the market. If the United States
holds the surplus they can fix the prices
IL they wish. The world has never been
more than six months from starvation.
1t is never longer ahead Of production
than It will take to get the products Of
earth ready for consumption. 1t requires
about six months from harvest till wheat
is ground and transported across the
water. So with cattle and hogs that are
slaughtered. Therefore the government
need not wait long until this surplus
would be exchanged for European gold.
1t was made practical by Joseph, the
prisoner Of Egypt. Have we not the wis
dom or goodness of that heathen prince,
Phsroah?
l will wait for my critics to raise OBJ
jections before writing again.
