most democratic boss of Missouri.
Butler has not cared to hold office. He
prefers to distribute offices by the hun
dred. In the recent campaign i'll st.
Louis he filled as many places on the
democratic ticket as he wanted. He
named his son as congressman and saw
that he received a majority OF over
G.G0O. He was deferentially called into
consultation by the democratic state
chairman, and intrusted with import
ant party missions, though under IN
dictment at the time. But the evidence
of attempted bribery was so clear that
a Jury of honest men went straight to
the plain conclusion and vindicated the
cause of justice. 1t remains to be prov
ed that the verdict will not be carried
into effect, or that there exists in Mis-
souri,, as now governed. any Judicial
weak spot that indicates one code for
the poor devil and another for the null
timillionaire and foremost democratic
boss.
Butler is under another indictment
and 1T charges him with the bribery of
members of the municipal assembly in
connection with a lighting franchise.
The attempted bribery of which he
stands convicted relates to garbage
contracts whose cost was recently run
up from $65,000 a year to $13O,OO00 a
year, without any known increase OF
service. The present municipal author
tiles yielded to this outrageous lmpo-
sition with the feeble remark: what
could we do?" That motto is not In
Mr.. Folks line. He has done what has
hitherto seemed impossible. and pushes
on inf1exibly though the leaders OF ms
party regard him with gathering wrath
and treat him and his remarkable
achievements with increasing neglect.

their own parlance, to blow up" but
they will have further occasion to real
ize that Mr.. Folk takes his duty SER

THE POWERFUL WEST.


If the recent election emphasized the
fact that the great strength OF the re-
publican party lies in the solid west"
the present contest for the speakership
of the national house of representatives
gives it still more emphasis.
AS the situation now stands, the
solid west" seems certain to settle the
matter for the entire country. The east
has it's candidates, but the west has
more than enough votes to name the
man. and it has made the most of it's
opportunity by uniting upon Joseph G.
Cannon of Illinois. 1t Is estimated
upon the unofficial election returns that
104 votes in the republican caucus will
be necessary to nominate a speaker.
OF this number the body of western
states controls several more than
enough, not including any state east of
Indiana, altho Ohio might be consid-
cred a part of the west.
The solid west will undoubtedly
make itself powerfully felt in the flu
ture control of the republican party.
In the past 1t has been somewhat ig-
nored, but its strength now makes fur

make up this great stronghold of re-

whatever personal ambitions he may

FARMERS VIEW OF CREAMERY FAILURES

A farmers wife who is a reader of
the Times Republican writes to say
that there is another side to the story
as to why creameries are failures. Hav-
ing read the article in Saturdays issue
entitled Creamery Failures Explained"
she presents the case from the farmers
point of view. To show that she is
friendly to the paper she pays this trib-
ute:
Il will just tell you that we like the
Evening Times publican better than
any paper we take. 1t gives more reli-
able news on more topics than all the
papers we take. It seems a little ex-
travagant to keep such an expensive
paper, for an economical man like my
husband. but he says he can not get
along without it,
In Saturdays article, in quoting a
creamery mans explanation of the
troubles he encountered, the following
statement was made: again. this
this state know more about corn and
hogs than they do about dairying, and
of late years the profit in the former
has been so great that few will bother
with the milking of cows. This one fact
has been the principal trouble with the
creamery business growing more acute
as the prosperity of the farmer in
creased"
1t is sometimes true that well-con-
strIcted theory on one side is often
knocked out by a few practical facts
on the other, and this is evidently what
the farmers wife desired to do in the
following:
81 have Just read your piece on
Creamery Failures Explained That is,
from the creamery mans side. I will
give the farmers side. All OF the cream
cry men and cheesemakers pay by the
acid test that is, they pay you for the
oil, then they charge cents for making
the butter and keep the buttermilk. II
the milk is real good it will test per
cent; that is, 100 pounds of milk will
have four pounds of pure butter oil, for
which they pay by Saturdays price rs
cents; then take off cents for making,
leaving the farmer Il cents. II we make
the butter ourselves we easily get five
pounds, worth % cents, out of 100
pounds of milk. You see it is not the
butter that we pay for. The table but
ter contains salt oil, solid matter and
water. Then you have to haul the milk
to the creamery and get separated milk
back. 1t is all right if you live close by;
but you have to have team and wagon
just for that, and a farmers time is
worth something. too. We would rather
churn. You can find good answer for
the complaint of the creamery man..
In making UP a verdict 1t is always
necessary to hear both sides of con-
tention. and ii will be so in this case.

COMING TRUST LEGISLATION.

What will the coming session of con-
gress do in regard to curbing the
trusts? The general belief is entertained
in Washington that the members OF
President Roosevelts official family and
the leaders of the republican party in
both branches of congress will make an
effort to secure legislation relating to
trusts at the coming short session. III
a conversation some weeks ago the
president stated to a political friend, so
II is reported. that he would probably
call an extra session of the Fifty-eighth
congress If the present congress failed
to consider an act upon proposed trust
legislation at the coming short session.
The belief is that an extra session
ent congress will find time to consider
and dispose of a bill amending the
Sherman law along the lines suggested
by Attorney General Knox, who be-
lieves congress has ample power with
cut a constitutional amendment.
It is known to be the opinion of At
tofney General Knox that the remedies
which the administration is seeking to
apply are to be found in amendments to
the present Sherman law 1t is proposed
nv these amendments to reach corpora
tions engaged strictly in production
within the limits of a state and which,
altho not engaged in interstate com
merce. are closely allied with or related
ia transportation interests which dis
tribute their products. This plan has
been very plainly outlined by Mr. Knox
In his public addresses, and it is con-
celed that 1t will be followed pretty
closely by the president in his annual
message.
The president will without doubt be
very cautious as to what he advocates
in his message, for every practical man
knows that the chief danger in any eff
fart made to curb trusts will be the In
ciGental hazard that may be incurred
bv legitimate business interests at the
came time. There is little doubt. how
ever. that the subject will be taken UP
In q practical way.

A MiIIionaire's Conviction.
fst. Louis Globe Democratl

After "a trial admitted to be fair in
every respect Ed Butler has been found
guilty of the attempted bribery of pub
lie officials and the jury fixed the pun
ishment at three years in the peniten-
tiary. The case has attracted atten-
ton throughout the country, and will
be noted permanently In criminal rec
crds and municipal affairs. Butler has
long been millionaire and an active
force in city contracts and franchises.
He is the most powerful democratic
politician in Missouri, with a larger
personal following, such as it Is. than
any other individual in the state. So
great is his influence and so attractive
his methods to a certain class, that an
immense number of citizens doubted
the possibility of convicting him.
MANY still predict that he will never
reach the penitentiary. He has been
tried deliberately by jury in another
mart of the state, as he desired, and yet
found guilty The county to which the
case was removed is strongly demo-
cratic and the jury was made up of
Democrats 1T Is also to be remarked
that the states legal representative is
"a democrat, though one of unusual ca
nacity and straightforward purposes.
Circuit Attorney Joseph w. Folk is no
ordinary democrat. If the democratic
party were composed of such men, 1T
would be vigorous element in the
world instead OF divided and decay
ing remnant.

Prohibition in Vermont.
kansas City Star.

L
1t is probable that Vermont will
abandon it's half century experiment
with prohibition and adopt a system of
local option. The legislative joint COM
mittee ON temperance has reported a
measure for this purpose. The only
alternative plan suggested was for the
adoption of the state dispensary sys-
tenn. Not a single member of the COM
mittee advocated continuance of
state prohibition. 1t was assumed that
the system had proved too defective to
be allowed to stand.
The difficulties in Vermont are the
same as those encountered in all states
that have tried to enforce prohibitory
law. Bad liquor is kept in majority
of the drug stores, Joints" have multi
piled, and the general effect of this
wholesale evasion of the law is believed
TO be demoralizing. Its incentives to
hypocrisy were emphasized in the re-

ened.
New Rochelle, N. Y, Nov. 19.-The
Black Ghost, mysterious figure which
for several weeks frightened the res
idents of Upper New Rochelle by APP
pearing in the highway near the Tom
Paine monument, has turned out to be
clever impersonation arranged by
some mischievous boys Of the neigh
borhood.
A few nights ago the ghost sprang
from behind tree and stopped Mrs.
Paulson, a wealthy woman, who was
driving home alone from New Ro-
chelle, and frightened her nearly into
Mysteries.
The era of the mystery came last
night, when a farmer encountered the
figure. Instead of running away, he
struck the object sharp blow with his
whip which felled it to the roadside.
AS the figure fell it gave a yell Of pain
and then scampered away. The ghost
proved to be a boy who lives in the
neighborhood. He left his parapher-
MALTA behind him. It consisted OF
pair of stills five feet high, sheet
and a black mask.
