had been. that several of the expressions
were very familiar to him. Mr.. Butter
worth acknowledged that the matter was
not good for the public, but that Mr..
Wilson had endeavcred to prove that
the defendants course had been brutal
toward the young woman. and IL was
due that he should be allowed to make
explanations, but the matter was not
pressed.
The attorneys had no more witnesses
on hand. the cross-examination having
ended Mr. Shelby said. somewhat I'M
expectedly. so they asked for an ad
iournment an hour earlier than usual.
Mr.. Wilson offered to occupy the time
with some of his witnesses for rebuttal.
but the defense declined the offer and
the Judge said that he would concede
the request not to continue the case to-
day although il had already consumed
more time than it should have done.
Scored by the Judge.
'If the parties to the case would like
to go out first they may do SO and l
will keep the crowd back" said Judge
Bradley as the people began to stir from
their seats.
Accordingly Miss Pollard. with her at
torneys. followed by the silver-haired
Kentuckian and his legal forces, filed
through the little door between the judge
and jury. Several men made a rush
from their seats after them Judge

above the rustling; take your seats
there"
Then pointing to one conspicuous Of
fender who was half away across the
room with his hat on. he said sternly.
Take off your hat there and go back
where you came from. Take your
Seats
AS the men relapsed into their chairs
the judge struck his desk again, de-
claring in the sterneSt tones:
This morbid curiosity which has been
manifested since the beginning of this
suit is perfectly disgusting. The court
corridors have been crowded. the egress
has been crowded and 1 understand that
the sidewalks in front of the offices Of
| the counsel have been crowded,
showing a prurient eagerness to see the
| parties of this suit. They seem to forget
! that some one besides the parties to the
suit are on trial here. The spectators

| conduct. These men who come here day

Again Mr.. Wilson led the colonel to re

injury 10 the young man and the des-

What Government Is.

At the close of stirring editorial in
favor of government aid for the unem-
ployed, The Sedalia Enterprise Sentinel
says:
The paternalism that can open up
ways and means for thousands to
make living is more necessary than
the paternalism that puts them into
the calaboose if they don't work when
no work is to be had.
1t is just such specious and delusive
arguments as this that foster and de-
velop the present spectacle OF thou
sands of men marching to Washington
to demand money and work. For not
only is this declaration by the s.Enter-
prise -SentineI' not true, but. precisely
the reverse is true. The government
which takes upon itself the RESPONSE
bility of furnishing to the men the
ways and means to make a living is
the government by military and au-
tocracy. The only business on earth
of free government is to build Gala
booses and put men into them who
transgress the rights of other men and
of communities. A common agree
ment of persons to live close to each
other and endeavor to so barter and ex-
change as to earn an honest livelihood,
with attendant liberty and happiness,
produces an authority for the punish

That Boy Jim.

He was the "deviP'-that boy, Jim;
Couldn't do anything with him;
Rough and ragged, for mischief ripe,
Running errands, distributing type;
Pelting the neighbors on their heads
With brand new furniture" "slugs" and
sleads,''
From early morning to evening dim:
He was the "devil''-that boy, JIM
Editor whaled him-all no good!
Head as hard as a stick of wood;
lust burst out in loud "Hooray!"
And went right on in his don't-care way.
But once-when the train was passing by,
And the editors child was on the track
o Omy!
Tim-he rushed with his same don't-care
Right in front of the engine there!
Child was saved, but where was Jim?
With flaming lanterns they looked for him,
While the people trembled and held their
breath
"Under the engine, crushed to DEATH"
There, in the dust and CRIME he lay
Jim! he had given his life away!
Not much need of their tears for him:
"He was an angel-that boy, Jim!'

NUMBER rs

ment OF those who interfere with the
! general good. The calaboose and the
constable are the visible signs OF this
authority representatives OF that
which we call government, but which
| is nothing more than an agreement by
tne governed to employ constable
and build calaboose in order to pre-
serve the personal rights and protect
the property of all. What is the city
government but a contract between q
large number of men, dwelling togeth-
er, to live in peace, compelling those
who violate the contract to pay the
penalty9 And to that end policemen
are hired, jails are built. judges are
chosen and punish,nents prescribed.
That's all there Is to it. Government
is only a rule of the people whereby
peace and happiness are maintained
by locking up those who refuse to OBJ
serve the compact of peace. To ask
for a rule-a contract--an agreement,
therefore, to provide work for those
who have none, is simply asking non
sense. Or, if the agreement is person
flied in the constable and the Gala
boose, the asking of them to find en-
ployment for the people, is something
trifle more absurd.
When you come to demand of gov
ernment that it supply you with the
means of livelihood the original
agreement is broken, since the only
reason you set up a government was
to enable you to make a living in your
own way, free from all interference by
others, and to secure you in the results
of that labor. In other words, it is
revolution. It is asking that COM
plete change be made in the relation
which you now occupy toward all your
fellow-citizens; that you shall yield up
your inherent personal right to make
a living in your own way and become
the subject and the slave OF the consta-
bic and calaboose. Is that what you
want?
Why are there so many false teach
ers in this country, and why do they
have such large audiences? Because
there has been so little education in
the science of government-because
men have too long confused the tur-
moil of politics with the social COM
pact. Government in this country
should be better understood, since it
would save the people from thou
sand dangerous heresies which attract
them because they glitter.-Jeferson

Our Professors Of Finance.

| There is now, as there has always
been, considerable confusion in Wall
street circles over the origin Of the
various phenomena that have marked
the decline and fall of property and
market values. One form of this con-
fusion is to be found embodied in the
| following remarks from The Indicator,
a daily financial newspaper that de-
votes itself to the affairs of Wall street
and the market generally:
The Chronicle continues to play up
on its harp of one string. Since the
Sherman law was repealed gold has
been exported, although The Chronicle
predicted it wouldn't be. But it keeps
on explaining to its own satisfaction,
perhaps, if to no one else's. 1t said
on Saturday: .'But why the demand
for exchange is SO pressing when our
imports of merchandise are so extreme
ly small, and the merchandise trade
balance is so considerable, can only be
explained by the state of our money
market produced by the character of
our currency" It is the same old bug
abbo. Maybe The Chronicle will discoy-
or after while that it has bambooz-
led itself in this matter as it did on
the theory that Europe has been re-
turning us our securities because of
lack of confidence in our currency.
After considering the Union Pacific re-
port, which showed 287,S61 shares
held abroad on December 31st, last,
against 2ol ,OS8 shares the year before,
it says: ..There has been disposition
to believe that Europe had practically
stopped buying our low-priced securi-
ties and was not buying very extern
sively even of the best grade OF share
properties. But here obviously we
have strong piece of evidence to the
contrary. Yes, we should say SO.
But The Chronicle all along insisted
that Europe was selling our securities.
How about that?
It is hardly possible that denser ig-
norance on financial subjects can be
found anywhere in the world than
among those writer's in the east who
deem it their duty to explain the
course of events since last June. The
remarkable thing about it is that the
results OF this ignorance pass muster
in the most respectable publications
and are fourished with as much gray-
tity as if they were the emanations Of
profound knowledge and wisdom.
The Indicators criticism OF The
Chronicles tumble is both apt and in
structive. It sheds a sidelight on the
methods OF financial argument and ex-
planation that are in vogue among
those who undertake to teach the pub
lie. We are surprised that The I'ads-
Gator, which is as active as BUSH
whacker, did not go little farther
and comment on the want0n absurdity
Of the claim put forth by The C1sro'as-
Gle and other financial pubilcations
that the banks and the public began TO

dorsing your past public service, dc
hereby solicit you to become candi

FLOR Congress from this, the 18th Con
gressio ional District of Missouri, and dc
pledge ourselves to use every effort tc
secure your nomination and election ,

GENTLEMEN:-Yourn numerously sign
ed ''call" upon me to become candi-
date for Congress in this district has
just been handed to me. am not un-
mindful of your representative charac.
ter and l certainly appreciate the val
ue of your influence. Above all, / am
made most happy by your expression
of continued oopG6onca
l have the pleasure of a personal ac-
quaintance with a large majority OF
the signers-with many dating back a
quarter of century. During all that
time l have found you to be loyal
friends, substantial citizens and the
pride of every lover of the principles
of the party of our lifetime affiliation.
You belong to that class in the Demo
cratic party who enlist in each recurr-
ring campaign for the sake of principle
and when the battle is won .sturn
your swords into plow shares and
pursue the paths of peace, without
asking Office or spoils in return.
A request coming from such a source
brings with it double the force of that
which usually attends a miscellaneous
solicitation for one to become candi-
date, for with you the purpose is not
selfish but patriotic. While l have
been frequently honored by prefer
ment and have had full taste of pub
lie life, it has not s'turned my head
from the life of a private citizen. to
which I am fondly attached and for
which 1 am SO eminently fitted.
This congressional district is one on
which the party can safely rely for the
election of a Democrat. There is no
party emergency demanding a candi-
date of peculiar fitness, or any partic-
ular man.
If we were leading "forlorn hope, :"
I would not hesitate, or if the district
were doubtful and it appeared that
was the most available candidate, my
duty would be plain: would gladly go
into the contest.
Such crisis is not upon us, hence
you will allow me to consult my per-
sonal feelings and private interest.
In so doing, must decline to become
a candidate. Thanking you again and
again for your goodness to me and
pledging you my enduring friendship,
am Your Friend,
SAM BYRNS.
