will be able to defeat the Bryan Hearst program. Some time ago the members of the Parker wing of the
 party indulged in the belief that Bryan and Hearst had lost their strength and that the time was ripe for bringing forward Judge Gray or some other conservative as a prNi- dential possibility. All of these booms have died at birth, and there is growing evidence that Bryan is still the idol of the great masses of the Democratic voters, in the South and West. Hearst, despite the defeats of the past, is still the strongest radical Democrat in the East, and is not with out a considerable following in the West and on the Pacific coast

PROBING HAR-
 VESTER TRUST

St. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 13.-lt is eX- pected that the custer proceedings instituted in the Missouri supreme court by Attorney General Herbert s. Hadley against the International Harvester Company, for alleged viola tions of the antitrust laws of the state will come up again next week, when the writ issued by the court is made returnable.
 It is alleged by Attorney General Hadley that the harvester trust is the most high-handed monopoly ever attempted and that the farmers of Missouri are annually "held up for many thousands of dollars through the eXorbitant prices charged by the International Harvester Company. He says that in order to maintain mo- nopoly of the business in this state, the trust" has compelled all retail dealers to handle only the machinery made by those composing the com bine. The international Harvester Company, it is alleged, was organized in 1902 with capital of $120, 0,000,0 ,000 and absorbed all the other companies, thereby effectually destroying all com petition and leaving the users and dealers in harvesters to the mercy of the trust
 The companies composing the mo- nopoly are alleged to be the Mill waukee Harvester Company of Wis consin, the Mccormick Harvester Company of Illinois, the Plano Man ufacturing Company of Illinois, War den, Bushnell & Glessner Company of Ohio D. H. Osborne X Company of New York, and Aultman Miller X Company of New York.
 According to the recent report ol Secretary Straus, the bureau of cor porations of the department of com merce and labor is now engaged 1T Investigating the International liar vester Company, with view to gov ernment action.

BRYAN AND HEARST,
 DEMOCRATIC CHOICE

Washington, Dec. 13.-Now that i the Democratic national committee has settled the preliminaries of the i coming convention, the principal topic among the minority party con- gressmen and politicians relates to presidential and vice presidential can didates.
 That Bryan will be the standard bearer of the party in the next cam paign is generally admitted in Wash ington political circles. Even the enemies of the famous Nebraskan con- cur in this, with the fatalisuc air of one who says: What is to be, will be-"
 There is little less certainty as to the tail of the Bryan kite, among those on the inside. Unless all signs go wrong, William Randolph Hearst will be the vice presidential candi- date. There are many Democrats, prominent in the councils of the party, who look upon Hearst with even greater adherence than Bryan, but even these admit that all the po- utical winds are blowing Hearstward. That Bryan and Hearst have entered into a political alliance is the gen eral opinion in informed circles. which is to some extent borne out by the recent conferences between the Ne braHkan and the New York editor.
 Nor Is there any hope among the ''conservattve" Democrats that they

"1 AUTO SHOW

St. Louis, Mo, Dec. 13.-The great interior of the Jai Mai building mas been transformed into a scene of beauty. preparatory to the opening tomorrow of the second annual St Louis automobile show. DecorauonS for the show have been installed on an elaborate scale, as the promoters are determined to make the coming exhibit the greatest of it's kind ever held west of Chicago. The exhibition will remain open eight days, with dai- ly matinees. Tuesday evening has been named society night and will probably be the most brilliant session from a social and fashionable view point.
 Every important feature of the New York and Chicago shows have been secured for the St. Louis exhibition, and, in addition, more than score of novelties of American and Eu- ropean origin will be presented for the first time in this country. Rep- resentatives of all the important east ern automobile clubs and associations have notified Manager Straus that they will be in attendance at the show. All of the visitors to the show will be given free rides on the neigh boring boulevards of Forest Park, all of the manufacturing concerns of the country having sent demonstrating cars for this purpose. Complete au- tomobile manufacturing plants have been installed in the hall, and the processes by which all parts of the cars are made will be continually demonstrated for the first time at any show in the West. Nearly all of the cars seen at the Chicago show have been sent here for exhibition. The total exhibits are insured for over $2,O0e,00O

 Tn sharp contract to this Is the character and course of Elkanah and Hannah. Their son was devoted to God before his birth, and trained as total abstaining Nazarite. He was placed in the tabernacle to dwell there forever. But even there he was fol- lowed by parental influence. He was visited at regular intervals, and not merely clothed in the new tunic that loving hands had made. but advised, counseled. and prayed with. no doubt.
