for the Presidency.

Within the last few months, Mr..
Hearst has grown SO rapidly in
popular favor as candidate for the
Democratic nomination for the
Presidency that everything con-
cerning him is of public interest
1t may not be generally known
to the readers of the REGISTER that
Mr.. Hearst comes of that sturdy
Missouri stock that blazed the way
of civilization in the New West
and laid the foundations of the
growth and greatness of our own
State of Missouri, his grandfather,
William G. Hearst, having emil
grated from South Carolina in 1905
and settled in Washington coun-
ty. A few years later he moved
to Franklin county, where George
Hearst, the father of William Ran
dolph, was born. George Hearst
worked on farm until he was %
years old, when in 1S49 he caught
the California gold fever, and
drove a wagon overland to Cali
fornia, where he became a success
full miner, and later United States
Senator.
William Randolph Hearst, the
only son of George and Phoebe A.
Hearst, is a graduate of Harvard
College; in religion he is an Epis-
copalian. He is to-day the best
known newspaper man and pub
Usher in the United States, having
four great newspapers-the New
York american, the Chicago Ameri-
can and Examiner, the San Francisco
Examiner, and the Los Angeles
NelUs- Herald. He will establish
another paper in Boston within a
few weeks, and early in June will
establish another in St. Louis.
Mr.. Hearst has been a faithful
Democrat, giving to Mr.. Bryan
and the Democratic party in the
last two Presidential campaigns
earnest, unwavering support.
When Bryan was first nominated
the greatest pressure was brought
upon Mr.. Hearst to take the line of
other newspaper proprietors in the
East and abandon the ticket. His
paper was just gaining headway,
and it was making it's effort in the
heart Of the gold district. 1t was
pointed out to him that to support
the Democratic ticket would be to
ALLEVIATE the merchants of New
York, the very people the paper
had to depend on for it's support.
Mr.. Hearst's reply was simply {:
81 am a Democrat, and no mere
question of personal profit or loss
will induce me to turn my back on
my party. will support the
ticket if | do not print an adver-
tisement in New York" And he
did support the ticket loyalty.
-Four years later he repeated his
efforts to aid the success of the
Democratic party. The great need
of the campaign was funds. The
enormous aggregated interests of
the trusts were all on the side of
the Republicans. Mr.. Hearst, at

the request of the party leaders,
accepted the presidency of the
National Association of Demo-
cratic Clubs. He Immediately
issued a proclamation agreeing to
duplicate every contribution made
by the clubs. 1t is said that in
the two last national campaigns
Mr.. Hearst gave S250,000. Through
out the last national campaign he
was especially active.
Mr.. Hearst has, dhring the past
seven years, done more work of
constructive craftsmanship than
probably any other Democrat.
He represents popular opinion as
no one else does. He has an
tagonized no factions. If the plain
people love him the Democratic
leaders who know him esteem and
respect him. He has no personal
enemies among them. His course
has been indorsed by majority
of the labor organizations of the
country at various times. The
Virginia Federation OF Labor, rep
resenting 10000 men, adopted
eulogistic resolutions at it's last
State convention in Richmond.
The Building Trades Council of
America, in convention at Denver,
unanimously adopted resolutions
eulogizing him.
Several hundred newspapers and
many prominent Democrats have
declared for him for President.
More than a thousand volunteer
clubs have been formed, and their
sole purpose is to elevate Mr..
Hearst to the Presidency. Never
before was such feeling for an
individual demonstrated so far in
advance of the convention.

Those who express righteous in
dignation at what they term a
growing contempt for the courts
should busy themselves in the
work Of making the courts more
entitled to respect. In view of
many court actions and decisions
the masses are not to be censured
for believing that justice receives
little consideration in many cases.
The case of ex- Mayor Ames of
Minneapolis is one in point. Ames
was tried and convicted of accept
ing Doodle from a fund raised for
the purpose of corrupting public
officials. The Minnesota Supreme
Court, however, overruled the
lower court and released Ames,
deciding that he did not receive
the Doodle from fund, but from
individuals. If there is growing
contempt for the courts, that
growth will be fastened by de-
cisions of that kind.-The Com
r1oner.

Fredericksburg. Newton's division led
Thomas attack, and that Of JEFF G.
Davis followed, making column sew
en- lines deep.
The two divisions of Newton and
Davis were exposed to the fire of
two Confederate divisions Of infantry
and thirty-two field guns for two
hours. In places the assailants reached
the parapets, where many fell, and
some even crossed the trenches and
were killed there. The Confederates
stated that they counted thousand
dead boys In blue in the line closest to
their works. This assault was a bloody
failure, but that was not because of
want of valor in the troops. Finding
themselves in danger of humiliation,
yet scorning retreat, they clung to the
slight ridges under the enemy's guns.

Cook built little parapet within sew

McCook was mortally wounded, and
his second In command, Colonel o. F.
Harmon, also fell. McCook seemed
to have premonltion of the carnage
to come, for before the assault he re-
cited to his men the lines from "Hora-

Oh, how can men die better than facing

Johnston, accompanied by General
Hardee and General Polk, rode out to
the front to examine the post and de-
termlne upon Its fate.
After completing their examination
and deciding upon the immediate with
drawal of the troops there the party
was fired upon by Federal battery
of Parrott guns stationed about a
quarter of mile distant. At the third
shot shell struck General Polk in the
chest and passed through his body from
left to right, killing him instantly.
General Polk received a military ed
ucation and graduated at West Point.
Early In life he left the service for the
pulpit in the Protestant Episcopal
church and at the outbreak of the war
had reached the rank Of bishop. Be-
lieving that his military knowledge
would best serve the south in that cri-
sis, he laid aside his robes and entered
the army, where his distinguished
services won for him advancement to
the rank Of lieutenant general.

that Hood was in command of the
Confederates he warned his generals
that hard fighting lay ahead. He knew

In brilliant sortie led by Hood on
the 22d of July, which is known as the
battle Of Bald Hill, General J. B. Nc

direction. While crossing over the

by Confederates and compelled to
plunge into the wilderness to find the

officer had often ridden in open bat

his right flank to the road, but every
step Of the march was opposed by the
Confederates, and the Federals could
