IT IS hardly worth the time and
space to say anything to you to
convince you that the corporations
are doing you up. ALL regardless
of race, creed, politics or sex, now
realize this more or less clearly
But little item from New York
the other day makes a point that
should also tell you the remedy
for existing evils. 1t was this:
The forthcoming statement of the
wire trust will show that it will
not only pay 10 per cent. on its
fabulous capitalization, but has
earned" enough to buy out
numerous properties and allow for
enormous depreciation of plants.
You see that the public has not
only paid for the wire, but has
paid enough more to buy out
several wire plants-and yet this
public does not own a dollars
worth of the property it has paid
for. If you have to pay for prop
erty, why not do so under con-
ditons that will give you the
ownership of it? You have paid
enough in the last year extra on
wire to buy every plant in the
United States, on the testimony of
the wire trust Under socialism
either these vast millions would
have gone into your public treas
ury, or the price of wire would
have been reduced to the cost basis,
which | should judge from this
report would be about one-tenth
of the present price. How do you
like being held up by corporations,
anyhow? They will continue to
hold you up SO long as they own
them, and they ought to hold you
up, for you believe it safer to have
the plants owned by corporations
than owned by yourselves, and of
course they agree with you. You
hate your government SO much,
you fear it SO much, that you will
not trust it with anything except

There in Sulu,
Where the hoola
Dancers do their pleasing turn.

Like prince you draw your pay;
From the harem
You will scare 'em,
If intruders come that way.
There you linger
With finger
Raised to warn the nervy wight
Who would daily
With his ballet,
When your boss is out of sight.
Like the Sultan,
You exult in
All the savage pomp of state,
And you file your

tendent Hardy. Of the Missouri Pa
cific railroad. illustrated the plans OF
a gang OF robbers at Holden, Mo,
from robbing passenger train No. 10
and passengers at point near
Holden Sunday night.
Acting on the information received
a force of officers and detectives were
sent from Kansas City and Sedalia to
intercept and capture the robbers.
When the train reached Holden the
officers were informed that the men
who were to rob the train were at n
resort and it was decided to arrest
another officer started TO make the
arrest. saving they did not need any
help from the railroad officials, their
information being that there were
only two robbers III the house at the
time Detective Jackson, of Sedalia,
however. insisted an accompanying
them. In attempting to enter the
house Jackson. was shot III the head
just over the right eve by one of the
band and mortally wounded The
officers returned the fire of the rob
bers, but found instead OF two men
in the house there were six and all es-
capped
The tip given Supt. Hardy by the
woman was the result of a quarrel in
a disreputable house in Holden, the
girl incensed at the action of one of
the gang determined to be revenged,
went to Sedalia and told Mr. Hardy
all she knew concerning the plans of
the robbers.
1t has since developed that the plan
for the hold up had been delayed I'M
til Monday night and the train was
to be stopped at Centerview, a small
station : miles east of Holden. The
engine was to be detached and the ex-
press car and passengers were to be
robbed.
In the house where the alleged rob
bers were discovered was found a
watch taken from the telegraph oper-
ator at independence, who was held
up in the Missouri Pacific station a
