MURDER WILL OUT.

/ 1t developed from the testimony Of
George W. Perkins. Of the New York
Life, IN the insl ra1oe Investigation
now being conducted In Nv York,
that the NV York life gave S5u, u0U

developed that the great packing
companies at the Ch'cagostoCk wards
were ''sandhagged" Tor 100000.
At that time the packers were being

porations Of she Department ofCom-
merce and Labor, If which Mr.,
Cortelyou was the head, and he was
also the chairman of she Republican
Campaign Committee. Other large
industrial enterprises all over the
country were forced to give large
contributions.
During the closing hours of the no.
tionsl campaign It will beremember-
cd that Judge Alton Is. Parker,
Democratic nominee for President,
made the charge. on his own respon-
sibility, that trusts and corporations
were putting up the money to buy
the doubtful states for Mr.. Roose.
welt, fearing that Democratic success
would be inimical to their continued
success in building up immense for.
tunes at the expense OF the people,
lG will also be remembered what n
pharisaical cry OF apparent indigna-
wensup from Republican sources
md scattered broad cast over the
land that such uniounded charge
should bemade against the great and
good Roosevelt, the foe OF trusts and |
rend OF the common people.
Now comes the proof OF Judge
Parker's charges from the first big .
brought to Judgment by |
jhe people. Not only was this prof.
gate life insurance company forced
ID buy immunity at the hands OF the
Republican party, but the great
,lckers, being subjected to a pre-
.HHTrd investigation to deceive the I
public, forced to disgorge
10 the Republican campaign fund by

How long, will the common people
submit to being thus duped and
hoodwinked into acquiesence to

him almost everything needed for life.
He knows that az he sOws so will he reap,
He usually keeps strong and healthy. In
the same way that the earth yields food
for man, so does 1t provide remedies for
human ills. Thousands Of households

Board of Health Not Alarmed.

The Estate Board OF Health has lust
completed a thorough investigation
OF the typhoid fever situation at the
University OF Missouri, and while not
finding the situation serious, advises
students not already on the ground
to wait few days before entering in
order that sanitary conditions NAV
be put in a more satisfactory shape
by the local authorities. The fever
is not OF a malignant type, and the
Board finds no occasion for an exc.
dus otthe students that have already
arrived. Sd far there have been but
two deaths, one since the report of
the Board, from the sixty five cases
that have existed during the months
OF July, August and September.
Most Of those now are convalescing.
and the Board believes that with i'm.
proved sanitary measures which are
being rapidly put into execution the
condition will soon resume the nor.
NAL. The milk and water supply
were found uncontsiminated and this
is leading to a more hopeful view of
the situation. A large number OF
old students who have been awaiting
developments came in Saturday and
the outlook is growing brighter.
Despite the uneasiness felt the enroll
ment at noon Saturday was ITO,
which is just a few less than the cor.
responding day last year.
