PHIL ARMOUR'S BROTHER.
(Kansas City Letter. J


Simeon Brooks Armour, who died
here the other day, was born on farm
at Stockbridge, Madison county, N. Y,
Feb. Il, 1928. He was one of n family
of eight children, six sons and two
daughters. born to Danforth Armour
and Julia Brooks Armour. On the
farm amid humble surroundings, the
boys grew up accustomed to hard work.
To the strong minds and healthful
bodies they inherited from their par
cnts, as well as to the habits of in
dustry and economy inculcated on the
farm, they owe their later success,
when they came west and became rich
men. For their mother all the sons
had the deepest veneration, and to her
teachings especially they attribute
much of their subsequent prosperity.
Philip D. Armour had come west
and founded the packing business
which has since grown to such great
proportions in Chicago, and in 1870

Our Democratic friends are suffer
ing from an extreme attack Of Han
naphobia, and because Mr.. Hanna
protested against the continued
coupling of the name Of Dewey with
the presidency, he is made the sub
jcct Of cartoon and caricature and
wordY abuse. Because he possessed
the ability to engineer a national
campaign that buried Bryan and
cheap money he cannot be forgiven
and he cannot do or say anything
without base and sinister motives be-
ing assigned. The fact is, in the
Dewey matter Hanna is right. De.
wey has stated positively that he did
not wish to be and would not be a
candidate, and to continue the use of
his name in this conn ection is assum-
ing that the Admiral is insincere, and
brings him down to the level of a
scheming politician. The whole world
believes in the absolute sincerity of
the great naval commander. He
meant what he said and Hanna is
right in characterizing as indecent
the use of his name in such a manner
as to discredit his sincerity. A few
Democratic papers have had the de-
cency to approve the utterance of Mr.:
Hanna. We hope for their own cre-
dit and the credit Of American jour-
nalism to see others copy q worthy
example.
