day. The Capital this morning saws.
The State Capital prints in this issue
the absolute denial OF the whole thing.
He says he was interviewed by no one
He talked OF no such matter for publi-
cation or privately. He has no such
ideas as those put forth in that inter
view. He has no desire to iniure his
frieHds nor the Republican party He
is harmonizer, not disorganizer.
After careful search through the
Capital we fail to find the "card Of
denial, alleged by the morning paper
to have been written by Scott.
However, the LEADER will not place
odds against proposition that Scott
will not attempt to gig back.
There are some politicians exceed
ingly handy with their mouths and
who make statements which they are
quick to reject when it comes TO the
test,
So far as the Scott conversation Is
coEeeTSed, the LEADER is willing tc
present the affidavits OF three mer
that Judge Scott made substantially
the statements printed in the LEADEI
Monday. The fact of the matter IL
that his expletives and venom were
eliminated from the conversation In
this paper.
Judge Scott cannot conscientiously
deny the interview. 1t was reported
for the LEApER by Gen. ]. c. Jamison
whom Scott knew to be newspaper
writer. Scott talked openly to fou
men, including Gen. Jamison, who pu
the questions TO Scott as printed. Gen

MoRE MENAoINa TIM WIZ.

Col Wetmore, Of st. Louis, president
Of the late Liggett & Myers Tobacco
company, was one of the few wealthy
men in the country who advocated
free silver and supported Bryan in
1896. He was also one OF the few
wealthy men who steadfastly opposed
trustism, but at last his company was
absorbed by the trust and Col Wet.
more is left without occupation. At
the time Of leaving Col Wetmore at
tracted attention to himself by making
a pathetic address to his employees.
Since then he has been working val
iantly for Bryan, silver aud against
trusts. He will devote all his time
his money and his energies to the sup
port of Bryan and the antagonism OF
the trusts. : few days since Col. Wet
more gave the following signed state
ments 70 the press
"A great majority OF the largest in
dustrial concerns in the country have
been combined, and others are in pro.
cess Of pooling or going into trusts.
After all the manufacturers in different
lines are combined II does not require
a great stretch OF the imagination 10
see these different combines getting
together under one management, and.
in fact, becoming one huge trust, con.
trolling all the commodities and fixing
the prices Of everything In common
use. Such a combination would be
stronge, than any state governmeI,t.
II might be stronger than the courts
and even stronger than the general
government itself and without doubt
would make stupendous efforts TO con.
troll legislation and decisions OF the
courts in its own interests. II would
take away the independence Of the
people and leave as without hope OF
bettering our condition. There would
be but one concern TO which a man
could apply for emp'oyment, aud il is
reasonable - expect that the trust
would fix the price Of labor, and the
laborer would perfOrce be compelled
70 accept. IL would take away
the hope OF the youth Of the
country, which has built up this
great nation. The trust system is
more dangerous 10 the country than
anything that now eonfronts us. In
my Judgment all the wars that ever
have been fought by the government
do not equal in importance the gravi-
~ Of the trust situation. The men
who are promoting and engendering
trusts claim as an argument that the
day OF the independent manufacturer
and dealer and producer has gone, and
that we are on new order Of things,
and that there is an economic force
behind the movement for consolidating
and pooling. but in my opinion IL Is
really principle Of greed and cupid.
", aud not one of economy. The
trast system, in my opinion, is more
menaeing 10 the country than any war,
no matter how stupendous, that the
country might be engaged IN; in fact,
the great war Of the rebellion was not
half 50 dangerous to the institution OF
this country as the system Of pooling
and combining. The trust Is the one
great question NOW before the people.
and in my opinion OF vastly greater
importance than the money question.
II should be the leading issue In the
next national political campaign, and
the people may be relied upon TO settle

srIcK TO THE ARMY.

General Funston should be protected
from his friends in the view OF the
New York Times. The Times takes
exceptions from the idea common in
the United States that as soon as a
man has shown signal ability as a SOL
dier he becomes good political timber
for any office TO which he may aspire.
In great degree the criticisms Of the
Times are we'll taken. 1t should not
be supposed that fighting man is Of
necessity fitted to discharge every duty
that might be put upon him. The
converse is not thought OF by anyone
as truth. That is, none think a man
who has shown himself to be really
great statesmen is the one to have
committed TO his care the movements
of great army in time OF war. 1t is
accepted as fact that the military life
is a profession. And these things now
prominently before che people draw
attention to the fact that public life IL
too little a career in the nation or IL
the United States. sIt is all too tru
that Abont the time public servants
have gained sufficient experience L
make them capable Of disehargini
their duties in the FULL they are re
tired to private life. General Funston
has won glory as a soldier. II he Il
able TO pursue military career tn,
remainder of his life he will do hi
country more service than would b
possible for him as governor of Kansa
or senator from that state.

Not Poetry.

The Protest of a Long-Suffering Editor.
1t is by no means unusual for us to re-
ceive what the writer's are pleased to call
poetry for publications in the Reporter.
Some OF these contribution we are glad to
use, but others, while containing senti-
ments worthy of publication and while
having poetical expressions in them, lack
the conventional forms of poetry. They
are apt to be without measure, and even
the rhyming is lame and defective, and we
cannot publish them
We dislike to discourage those who are
ambitious to become poets, and do strain
point more frequently than we ought to
to please people who like to see their lit
erary productions in print, but we are
obliged to respectfully decline to use the
greater number of these contributions
supposed to be poems. 1t is common
saying that ''poets are born, not made"
That may be so in certain sense, but no
writer, whether of prose or poetry, ever
amounted to much without long, hard
study and systematic drill. 1t is doubt
less true that the faculty of writing
poetry is in measure a gift or trend of
mind or brain, but this faculty or nclina-
ton must be cultivated and disciplined
before anything is produced that the pub
lie will be very greatly interested in.
We advise all interested to give the
matter of writing poetry due considera-
ton and careful study before submitting
their poems to the cold criticism of an
editor who has little poetry in his make
up, and who, while concedng that his
knowledge of poetry is very imperfect, in
dulges in the belief that, because of much
experience, he knows what is not poetry
when he meets it in his sanctum, and
must exercise his own judgment in ac-
cepting or rejecting these contributions,
however erroneous that Judgment may
be.
An editor of a Somerset county paper
recently received an alleged poem, writ
ten by a young lady whom he very much
desired to crafty; but the verses were
so utterly without rhyme or measure that
the editor sat up with the contribution
nights, threshed it into fair shape for
publication and used it. When the young
lady met the poem in print, in the clothing
furnished by the editor, she did not re-
cognize it and formal introduction was
necessary. No one connected with this
paper has time or ability to devote to re-
vision of other peoples verses and it is not
attempted. somerset Reporter.

Miss Marion Savage.
Play Writer and Actress.

The New England Home Magazine
describes the presentation in MedtielG,
Mass, of the play "Cinderella," as
dramatized by Miss Marion Savage, who
also took part in its presentation. Miss
Savage is but fourteen years old and her
earlier days were spent in Belfast, where
her father, Rev. j. A. Savage, was pastor
of the Unitarian church. The magazine
says;
Many write plays, but few there be,
comparatively, who experience the fell
city of seeing these children of their brain
pranked out in gay attire before the
footlghts with real scenery behind them
and a real audience in front, and of hear
ing the dialogue which they have COM
posed recited in public with careful elocu-
ton, while the orchestra ever and anon
dlscourses music grave and gay, to suit
the dramatic occasion. Still fewer be
those who not only write and produce
dramatic compositions, but take part in
them as we'll, and are reputed to be as
good actors as they are authors. 1t is
not for everyone to be William Gillette
or Denman Thompson.
But in the pretty suburban town of
Medfield, in this State, there lives four
teen year old maiden who has written
drama, seen it successfully produced
upon the stage, and has enacted con-
spicious part in it herself Her name is
Marion Savage and she is the bright and
winsome daughter of Rev. John Savage,
the pastor of the Unitarian Church at Med
field. She dramatzed the familiar nursery
classic of 'Cinderella'' with notable abil-
ity and skill in stagecraft, and the piece,
which was in four acts and an elaborate
concluding tableau, was given in the
vestry of the Unitarian Church one even
ing not long ago in the presence of a
large and delighted assembly.
The author appeared, not in the title
role, indeed, but in part that suited her
peculiar talent extremely we'll, that of
Dame Dunstalk, the cruel and naughty
stepmother of Cinderella. Needless to
say, her appearance was greeted with the
most hearty and sincere applause, and
the occasion was very much in the nature
of personal triumph for a modest little
girl whose bushes aud embarrass
was most apparent.
The lines of "Cinderella' are spirited
and full of the bewitching jingle that
suits performance of this sort SO we'll.
The various parts were assumed by young
people of the society and of church Or
ganization known as the Daughters of
the Social Circle'' especially. They all
practised faithfully and acted with con-
siderable degree of talent, so that the per-
Torrance passed off spiritedly and with
out hitch.
The four acts of ''Cinderella' represent
ed respectively Dame Dunstalk's kitchen,
the ball at the palace, the trial of the
magic slipper and the wedding of the
Prince and Cinderella. In the final tab
leau the whole company appeared, effec-
lively grouped, and the curtain was rung
down on perfect blaze of glory, while
the closely packed and thoroughly de-
lighted audience applauded with ire
mendous outburst of enthusiasm.
