FREE SPEECH.

Democrats everywhere condemn
the disorder which took place during
Teddy Roosevelps speech at Victor,
Colo, This trouble probably grew
out OF bad whieky, or something Of
that kind. This is a country of free
speech and free press. No man, who
is man, would endeavor to create
disorder during public speech. Dur
ing political times very often such
troubles are gotten up for effect, and
Republicans may have been behind
the trouble. Anyway, all Americana
condemn such disorder, no matter to
what party they may belong.
1t is true there are few people in
this world, and very likely we have
two or three OF them in Mexico, who
do not believe in free speech. Thank
the Lord we have only very few such
in this country and those we have
amount to very little, except in their
own estimation.
The Democratic party is opposed to
''gag rule" "gag law" or "gags" Of
any kind. All public questions should
be discussed in an open, free and frank
manner, and people who do not ex-
pect to behave at public meetings
should stay away. Children are pun

As Warehouse Commissioner he
Writes tho. Ledger in Regard
to Fulton Branch Train.


TO the Editor Of the Ledger.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo Sept. 25,--I
am 10 receipt of clipping from the
Mexico IntslIigencer, dated septsm-
Der 18th, criticising the decision Of
the Missouri Board Of r. R. Com
missioners in the train connection
case originating on complaint Of oer-
tain citizens at Fulton, NO., against
the South Branch Of the Chicago &
Alton railroad company.
Uaually, pay no attention whatever
ever to anonymous criticisms, bat the
enc IN question is so manifsstly incor-
rect, and the position taken by the
correspondent Of the Intelligeneer 80
far from the truth, that am inclined
to depart from my usual custom for
his Information and with no apology
whatever for the commissloners' rui-
ing In the state.
First the writer Of the article alleges
that ''it would seem the people 'on
the way were not 10 be considered,
but those at distance swayed the
judgment OF these worthless" This,
l respectfully, yet emphatically, de-
ny.
At the hearing held in Fulton g
large NUMBER OF witnesses testified as
being perfectly satisfied with the train
service IS at that time in force, while
only one witness appeared on the
part OF the complainants.
The General Superintendent of the
Alton testified that he was indifferent
In the matter, save to properly serve
the majority, Of his patrons. In our
talks privately with Fulton people II
was clearly indicated that fully 90 per
cent. of them were opposed to any
change. After the hearing we re-
served our decision, wishing to learn
the wishes of persons residing vt
other points on the line, and almost
every person we interviewed was
opposed to change. Hence, in the
opinion Of the writer, the matter re-
solved itself into question as to
"whether a road should be operated

Temple Robinson Gives His Reasons
For Leaving Republican Party.

PARIS, Mo, Sept. 27.-Temple D,
Robinson, life long Republican and
for years one OF the leaders of his
party in Monroe county, made public
announcement OF his support of Bryan
and Stevenson In a mastery speech
before the Democratic club at Paris
Tuesday night. Mr.. Robinson is q
brother of Judge Walter Robinson,
the Republican member Of the Su-
preme Court of Missouri, and ranks
among the brsiniest men and ablest
lawyers Monroe county bas ever pro-
duced.
As was to be expected ofsueh mar
he gave ample reasons for the position
he had taken. he reviewed at length
the longings OF men for freedom anc
liberty since the creation and told oi
the progress they had made to the
day when the hopes and aspirations oi
the ages seemed all but realized 10 the
ratification by the American people
of a constitution which guaranteed to
the individual his God-given right to
life, liberty and the pursuit OF happi-
ness-a constitution which solemnly
declared that governments derive their
Just powers from the consent of the
governed.
He told how the enforcement oi
these great principles had blessed the
cause OF liberty In the nations OF the
world and how they Hlled with hope
the hearts of the oppressed until Will
liam Mckinley had seen tit to violatg
them and make the flag an emblem
Of oppression instead of an emblem oil
liberty. The people Of the Philippine
Islands, he asserted, were jupt as much
entitled to the God-gIven right ia
liberty as we're the Americans and
Cubans, and it was an outrage on the
cause OF freedom for the president oI
the United States to deny them thiI
right after they had fairly won 1t from
Spain by the force of arms. Worse
still, the president used them sc alIieI
to wrest from Spain tie city Of Ma
nila and then forced Spain to sign
treaty selling to the United States th'
islands from which the oppressed
patriots had driven her.

Speech at Victor, Colo. Gov

CRIPPLE CREEK, CoLo., Sept. 2s.--
Governor Roosevelt had most sxcit-
ing experience to-day 1t Victor, a
few miles from Cripple Greek, among
the mines, where 6 demonstrative
crowd had assembled.
The Governor had q narrow escape
from serious personal violence. The
incident was the only one of the kind
thai has occurred during the progress
OF the trip, and IL 10 said that the
trouble was ocoasIoned by q small
body OF roughs who has been organ
ICED for the purpose Of breaking up
the meeting.
Governor Roosevelt spoke At Armo-
ry Hall, which was filed. He had
hardly begun speaking when be was

The Governor replied: II ate 1t,

Governor Roosevelt succeeded In
finishing his remarks, though there
wae an evident intention among those

When the Governor left the hall with
his party to 60 toward the train he
was surreunded by q Company OF

DEATH PENALTY FOR HOWARD.
For Conspiracy to Kill Governor Eject
Goebel-Jury Out SO Minutes.
PRICE BAKING POWDER CO.,
CHICAGO.

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. 26. The
jury In the caae Of James Howard, on
trial for alleged conspiracy in the
assassination Of Gov. Goebel, this
morning returned verdict OF guilty
with the penalty fixed at death.
The jury retired at 9:10 and re-
turned with the verdict at S:4s, The
courtroom was crowded with
spectators. Foreman Orutcher of the
jury passed the written verdict up to
the clerk. Deputy Clerk Elliott read
the verdict, which found the defendant
guilty and affixed bis punishment at
death.
Howard occupied seat by his at
tornsy. He did not display the least
agitation and was apparently un-
concerned.
The verdict was surprise as the
general public we're led to believe
that the jury was divided on the ques-
tion Of the guilt or Innocence OF the
defendant. II developed that the de-
lay In reaching a verdict was over the
degree OF punishment, some Of the
Jurors favorlng the life imprisonment
while others stood out for the death
penalty and hually won their asso-
ciates over.
One of the jurors after the jury had
been discharged, stated to the AS
ISOLATED Press that number OF bal
lots we're taken, but the first ballot
resulted In unanimous vote for
verdict of guilty. After that, the
ballots we're as to the degree Of pun
ishment and on the ballots ten mem
bers voted for the death penalty while
two voted for imprisonment. This
was while the jurors were In the jury
room yesterday afternoon. The fret
ballot to-day resulted in q verdict
The two jurors who had voted for
life imprisonment gave in to the ma
jority and voted for the death penal
| ty.
After the verdict had been render
ed. Howard was remanded to jail
where he was followed by his bosom
friend, John g White, who seemed
almost paralyzed by the verdict.
Howard's cheeks also blanched as he
stood up to accompany the jailer
back to his cell. The jury which tried
the case was divided politically, nine
Democrats, one Republican and two
anti Goebel Democrats.
