trusts have long had cantrol.
 The Sherman antitrust bill was passed during Harrison's administration and the demo- crats had abundant opportunity during Cleveland's second term to invoke 1t against the trusts then in existence, but not once did they attempt it. Great cap- ital IS needed to carry on the business of the country, and if wrongs exist therepublican party will and is rectifying them. Lawsuits are now pending against the beef trust and the Northern Securities Co.,, a rail road trust.
 When the democracy claims to be the friend of labor it's past record refutes all such claims. The last territorial legislature was over two-thirds democratic ana no labor legislation was en- acted. Now after two years the democrats say give us another chance and we will see if we can't pass these measures.
 The democratic spell binders must think that the people are simple minded and can be easily fooled.
 The democrats are also respon- sible for tax exemption. Relying on democratic promies and legis- lation railroads have been and are being built in this territory. Is it honorable now to with draw this protection?
 Here MT. Morrison quoted from Col Rogers of Prescott, a leading democratic editor, to the effect that democratic legisla- lures in the past have not done right by labor and have caused the present action of organized labor. It made Rogers sick at heart to contemplate the class legislation which democrats have enacted.
 The democrats say that there will be no statehood if a republi- can delegate is elected for the democratic United States sen ators will defeatit. The position of the democratic party remind ed MT. Morrison of the dog which could run both ways and bark at each end.
 Col. Wilson then closed the dis cussion with a few remarks on MT. Morrison's speech.
 He denied that his opponent had promised any relief whatever for the threatening evils in this country, and stated that the speech consisted entirely of rid icule and sarcasm.
 The debate furnished a splendid opportunity to compare Col. Wilson's ponderous style of ar- gument with MT. Morrison's bright, vigorous array of fact
Holbrook argus., 1902-10-18
WILSON-M MORRISON DEBATE.

Monday night of what was un- doubtedly the most interesting political meeting which has been or will be held in this territory during the present campaign. It was the occasion of the joint dis cussion ofpolitical issues between the rival candidates for delegate to congress, Messrs. Morrison and Wilson.
 Throughout the day there was an air of expectancy around the town, and when the hour for meeting arrived the large hall in the courthouse was filled with q most interested and thoughtful audience.
 Judge Sloan had been chosen as the chairman of the meeting and he filled the position most ac- ceptably. In announcing the rules for debate he said that Col. Will son would open the debate with an hours speech, followed by MT. Morrison who would be al- lowed an equal time, the colonel closing the debate with a 15 minutes talk in answer to MT. Morrison's arguments. No time would be called, should either speaker exceed the amount allot- ed to him, and the decision would not be rendered until after the 4th of Nov.
 Col. Wilson, the democratic candidate, after a few predatory remarks explaining the condi- tions Ind purposes under which he and MT. Morrison met, launched at once into the subject of trusts, or illegal combinations of capital. The basic principle Equal rights to all men and special privileges to none," was the rock upon which this govern ment was founded, and when this rule was departed from parties were formed; the one standing firmly by this principle, the other granting special privileges to certain classes. He would endeavor to show how far this principle had caused the difference between the parties.
 The tariff-devid1ng line between parties existed before the Civil War, butit was during the troub- lous days of that great conflict that the high protective tariff, of which the Dingley bills a growth first appeared in American poli- tics.
 The constitutionality of the high tariff was doubted at first because it was higher than the governments expenses de- mandcd, but it was done with the express promise of the party in power that the taxes should be removed when the fighting days were over. The war ceased,

In answer to Col. Wilson, he showed that the basic principle of equal rights to all men had first been violated by the demo- cratic party in the achievement of the negro, and it took the re- publican party to declare that there should be no further viola tion of the rule. The republican party was successful on this issue, and then declared that white slave labor should no longer exist and that the American la borer should be the superior of any in the world. We will take care of our own people and let the rest of the world take care of itself. This doctrine has been ad- hered to under all republican administrations down to the time of the soldier-statesman Roosevelt.
 The republican party believes in the development of the resources of this country, that we must manufacture our own goods and at least have our own market. The republican policy has ad- vanced our position from a third rate to a frst-class power and the American people have en- dorsed this policy by keeping the republican party in power for the last 42 years, save during Cleveland's terms.
 Mir. Wilson asserts that the tariff is responsible for present. wrongs; then contrast the period of 1893 to 1897 under Democrat ic rule with the republican sue cess and prosperity which has followed since then. Gompers, the great labor leader, says that during the democratic rule, there were over 3,O00,00O men out of employment. In 1900 this same labor leader congratulated the American people that the indust- rial condition was so greatly i'm proved. At the present time no man who is honest and indus trious need be out Unemployment and can get good pay for his work. Mir. Morrison had learned that very day that now there IS no mortgage on any place in the town of Snowflake.
 In spite of this prosperity the claims that the re- publican party is running the country to the dogs.
 Mir. Morrison now came to the argument of Col. Wilson that the trusts are the product of leg islation. The greatest of all trusts is the Standard Oil trust and that is not a protected in- dustry. The coal trust, which President Roosevelt is making such earnest efforts to induce to adopt a reasonable course in the present strife with the mines, is
Holbrook argus., 1902-10-18

As a result, fortunes have grown to immense heights and the power of commercial interests has become almost invincible.
 The great menace which is di- viding public opinion today is the trusts. The president is wrestling with it, the republican party is divided over it and the democrats have been combating it for the past three decades en- deavoring to suppress and over throw it. These trusts are the children and general growth of favorite legislation of the Ameri- can congress, conferring special privileges to class and violating the rule of equal rights. The power of these trusts is shown by the fact that 1S0 ofthem have control of more money than the government of the United States, Great Britain, France, and Ger many combined. This condition challenges the belief of man and the indignation of the masses.
 Republican legislation is to blame for it, as favorites have been given authority to impose on the masses. It is wrong and the republican party now admits it. For remedy the democratic party proposes not to destroy the trusts but to destroy the dan gerous tendencies so that they will not destroy us.
 Push off the top rail of the tar tiff and bring prices at home equal with those abr Oad.
 Coming to territorial issues, Col. Wilson stated that the dem- ocratic party had headed the demands of organized labor and favored the passage of labor leg islation. On these lines the re- publican party made no express promises.
 The republicans have challeng ed the democratic position on these lines in previous legisla- lures. but these laws were not then a political issue After or ganized labor had made the de- mand, the democratic party be- came converted, but the republi- can party has not been convert ed yet. Col. Wilson closed his argument with a statement re- garding the passage of the Santa Fe taxation law, in which he showed how much credit was due himself for the measure.
 Mir. Morrison was now intro duced and greeted with great ap- plause. He referred to the sig nificance of his meeting Col. Will son in political debate in Hol- brook, in which place he made his entrance into Arizona life about 20 years ago. In noplace in the territory would he rather have had the joint discussion

Island. They purpose having the CO.
operation of the board of supervisors
of Muscatine county and that of
Louisa county and the Muscatine
club in their present effort, which all
hope will be successful. Eighteen
years ago he residents of the Island
constructed the levee to protect their
lands from overflow when the Missis-
sipi goes on a rampage, and since
then they have expended fifty thou
sand dollars in keeping it repaired
and in good condition. What they
now ask is that Uncle Sam take care
of the levee in future and relieve
them of any further burden of eX-

INDEBTEDNESS.

A borrower am along life's way.
Ever in debt to time and circumstances.
In turmoil's din nnd mid the concourse gay,
AND when in pensiye mood aside stray,
This is recalled oft TO my remembrance
OF time borrow every passing hour
And largely draw from health's upspringing
fount.
From myriad minds Gull rich thoughts that
shower,
And to true I.ove, in her sequestered bower,
am indebted by a long account.
The morning salutation by the way,
The garlands placed beside the bed of pain,
The silent hand grasp, when celestial day
First dawns to those whose steps we fain would
stay,
Arc lent, to be returned in kind again.
Only by store OF wealth within my brain,
BY heart of love, by muscles ardent force,
Enlightening error, soothing woe and pain,
Thus may hope my freedom to regain
And walk with Love upon her howery course.

Had Appeared Cheerful.

Corporal Cossin was not only the
man who saw Gunther's dead body
first. but he was also the person who,
SO far as is known, last saw the re-
tired soldier alive. The corporal and
the older man met near the tool
house at about o'clock IN the morn.
ing and had n short conversation. in
the course of which Gunther appeared
to he very cheerful. He said he cN-
Pected to get n job as guard on the
bridge. Finally he announced he was
going to Moline TO see John Miller, IL
friend of his in the saloon business.
Corporal Cossin then left the neigh
borhood of the tool house. He does
not know whether or not Gunther
went to Moline, or whether he went
at once into the tool house. From
the condition of the body when it was
found the supposition is the rash
deed hau been committed at about
noon or perhaps an hour or So
earlier. - 's
