physician at ROckbridge, ILL.,, shot

About $40 o'clock she finished

That Hanna and his crowd are
genuinely angered by President
Roosevelt's advocacy ofGovernment
supervision of the trusts there is no
reason to doubt. This action on the
Presidents part cuts the ground
from under Hanna's feet, it being the
Ohio Senator's contention that there
are no trusts and that the great
combinations of capital are benef-
cent in their operation.
Hanna knows that Republican
orators, hired to uphold the tariff
and the trusts, will have a hard time

how infinitely stronger becomes the

Rotten 10 the Core.

Politics in republican counties are
generally rotten to the core. The
party is rotten in all counties, but it
does not smell SO disgustingly when
they are kept in the background by
an adverse majority, The following
from the Hermitage Republican
would indicate that Hickory county
is no exception to this truth:
The republicans OF Cape Girardeau
county are in a fight. \ petition
signed by 1,000republicans demand
ed new deal after the nominations
were made. The petition presented
charges that all kinds OF schemes,
trickery, trades and falsehoods were
used to nominate the ticket, and de-
mands that the whole ticket be With
drawn. The county is safely republi-
can but the party will probably lose
it at the November election. There
were probably no more falsehoods
told; no more trades made nor no
more scenes played in Cape Girar.

AN AsroNIsHER EoR 1HE Steel TRUST.

The Billion Dollar Steel Trust has been brought up
at last with round turn by decision of the Jersey
courts This decision which is Of little Importance
to the United States Steel Corporation well as to
all other industrial organizations, rests the ground
that the holders Of preferred shares have vested in
terest which be rightfully impaired by con-
version into another form of security without their
consent The assent Of a majority cannot be as
sumed to imply the assent of the minority who own
shares Although this decision is not na for the pres
ent at least it protects the position of minority of
shareholders, and it stops the profits OF few millions
in commissions upon fresh financial operation for
verting preferred stocks into bonds.
Hitherto the minority shareholders in corporation
have been treated persons who had no rights that
the directors bound to respect. A New Jersey
Judge has rather astonsed the financial manpulators
Of trusts by enforcing the doctrine that the minority
