THE PARENT TRUST.

The Wall street press of all pol
itical labels had persistently stat
cd that the recent great antitrust
dinner at st. Louis would mark
the beginning of the obscuring of
the money ISSUES. This was what
they hoped for, The trust-control.
ed daily newspapers would well
come sham battle against trusts;
and any movement against trusts
which ignored the money question
would be sham movement. But
in his masterly address at st.
Louis, William J. Bryan stated the
anti,plutocratic masses understand
liz, and exactly as they are pre-
pared to fight it next year. As
the essential principle ofthe anti
trust fight Mr.. Bryan declared
that the money trust is not only
the greatest of trusts, but the par
ent of all trusts. Wall stree

AN attempt was made in the
district court at Tom mbstone last
week by the attorneys for the
Halderman Bros, murderers of
Ted Moore and Deputy Sheriff
Ainsworth, TO get change of
venue on the plea that the pris.
oners could not get a fair trial
there ON account of perejudice
existing in the minds of the people
against the prisoners. The court
very properly denied the prayer
and the case went to trial. IL
would be pretty state of affairs
if murderer could get change
of venue from the county in which
his crime was committed, on &C.
count of the state of mind of the
people. 1t is not expected that
red-handed murder can be COM
mitted, officers Of the law shot
down in the discharge of their
duty, and the people show any
very warm affection for the
murderer. The Haldermans may
consider themselves lucky that
the people have gwen them an
opportunity to stand trial even in
Tombstone.
