Democratic officials of Iron county
do they ever mention the st. Lou
is Sub-Treasury? Not on your
life! Ben and his lying corps are
as silent as the tomb on the ques-
ton.
The following is a characteristic
excerpt from an article in last
weeks Enterprise:
DR.. Gay was lined 500 and costs at the
last Circuit Court for selling one bottle OF
Duffy's Malt as medicine. Thousands of
druggists are selling it as medicine every
where. does that matter? The Dr.,
although a law-abiding citizen n d gem
tleman, is a criminal by the laws OF Iron
county. He had dared TO tell the truth when
on the witness stand in the trial OF the cir
cult clerk OF Iron county for assault. Such
treason against the ring must be punished.
DR.. Gay was indicted by the
grand jury at the April term of
Circuit Court. Mr.. Hawkins had
his trouble with Benny nearly four
months after-in August. There
we're four counts in the Gay in
dictment; on a compromise the
accused pleaded guilty to one be-
fore Judge Williams, and the
three others nolle pressed. The
punishment assessed was a fine of
500, the lowest the law permits.
Judge Williams is a Republican;
but, according to laundering Ben
NY, he, too, must be a member of
the Iron county ''ring,' bent on
furnishing the accused for tell
ing the truth at the Hawkins
trial! Let US erect a suppositious
case, Benny: Surprising DR.. Mar
shall, who is a strong and earnest
Democrat, was running a drug
store and had been indicted for
four alleged offenses, and the
prosecuting attorney had nollied
three out of the four counts,
wouldn't you, Benny, be filing
the circumambient atmosphere
with ceilings of "ring!" and firing
rule!" and denouncing the mad
equacv of the punishment in
flicted? Go to! Even your biased
and prejudiced following surely
cannot have the stomach to retain
and assimilate the stuff you would
cram them with.

NOW, VINO 40 you suppose the
etthree real estate men, are? The
REGISTER would like to establish
their identity. Are they "ring-
%sters'' or "ring-busters?" Maybe
Benny can tell.
The next time an Iron county
Republican says anything to you
about "ring'' rule cite him to the
st. Louis Sub Treasury and ask
him a few questions. 1t will be
recalled that some time last year
the discovery was made that $751;
800 had been stolen from the gov
eminent sub-treasury in st. Louis.
A teller in the Office, who was GUS
todian Of the stolen money, was
charged with the theft, and, after
enc OF the most remarkable trials
in the history of the country, was
acquitted. A year has passed. The
u. s. is loser to tie extent of S61, SOC
and apparently no effort, whatev-
or, is being madeto ascertain what
became of the money. Last week
the President re-appointed T. j.
Atkins (under whose administra-
ton the money was stolen) Sub
Treasurer at st. Louis, and it is
announced from Washington that
the Republican Congress will inn
mediately pass a bill relieving Mr..
Atkins and his bond from any LA
bility for the stolen S61,500. How
