CROWS AND HADLEY'S
TERMS CoMPAREDD

Jefferson City, Mo-, oct. 9.-Trust
busting nndcr Attorney General
Hadley has been quite expensive to
fine State. The Attorney General
has given the public his own csti-
mate as to how they have been ben
fitted by his administration of the
legal affairs OF the State, but he has
not furnished the bill of costs.
The purport of this article is to
show what 1t has cost the public,
how much, If anything, has come
into the State Treasury through the
ATTORNEY Generals prosecutions,
and how his management of the
Office compares in these respects
with that Of his predecessor, +. c.
Crow, who served eight years AS
Attorney General.
The story Of the man who hunted
quail with ten-pound cannon may
be recalled by some az they peruse
these figures, which here follow:

General during the eight years of

WHY DID The STEEL TRUST
NEED HIS APPROVAL?

NEED HIS APPROVAL?
In October, 1907, II vas reported
that two officers of the Steel Trust
visited the White House aud asked
Mr. Roosevelt whether he would
object IL the Steel Trust gohblcd up
| the Tennessee Coal and Iron com
pany, which was the trusts prin-
cipal competitor. 1t was reported
ut the time that Nh. Roosevelt gave
the steel Trust permission to forge
this additional link In the monopoly
chain.
This report is now fully confirmed.
Mr.. Roosevelt admits that he gave
his approval to this unholy com
hination. He claims he did 1t in
order to stop further spread of the
Republican panic and that, in any
event, it was Il legal transactions
Let us analyze this: II the deal
was legitimate and violated no law,
WHY DID THE OFFICIALS OF THE
STEEL TRUST NEED THE pREsI-
DENTS APPROVAL? What did the
President have to do with Il legiti-
mate transaction between these two
concerns?
On the other hand, why should
the President of the United States
authorize trust, already enjoying
undue privileges, to strengthen it's
monopoly ny taking over the capital
stock of its one great competitor?
Why should the president do this
even to save a banking institution
that had this stock as collateral?
Mr.. Roosevelt said that he did
this in order to stop further
spread of the Republican panic, yet
only II few days before tn" two steel
trust officials obtained his approval
To tgis deal Mr.. Roosevelt delivered
II speech at Nashville. Tenn, in
which speech he said
There has been trouble in the
stock market, in the high financial
world, during the past few months.
| The statement has frequently been
made that the policies for which
stand are responsible for that trou-
BILE. Now, gentlemen, these poll
cics Of mino can be summed up in
one sentence. They represent the
effort To punish successful dishon-
csty. | doubt il these policies have
about the present trouble, but II
they have, it will not alter my de-
| termination that for the remaining
sixteen months OF my term these
| policies shall be persevcrcd in. II

CAMPAIGN FUND PUB
LICITY ILLUSTRATED

Prior to election day In 1904 Dem
ocrats charged that representatives
of the special interests were pro-
viding the Republican party with
campaign funds. Mr.. Roosevelt
hotly denied the accusation, de-
nouncing the Democrat who made
ii as liar.
Later it developed that f.. H..
Hartman had collected $500, 600 for
the use and benefit Of the Repub-
lican party in that campaign. This
money came from Standard Oil Of
ficials and others, the detailed con
tributions being ms follows;

senting the Vanderbilt in

Does anyone believe that Mr..
Roosevelt would have dared tell the
people, PRIOR TO ELEC"IoN DAY,
that these men had contributed $3.50, .
900 to his campaign fund?
VIII anyone contend that the peo-
pie were not entitled to know these
facts PRIOR TO ELECTION DAY?
Now in 1908 publicity concerning
campaign funds is demanded, PRIOR
TO ELECTION DAY.
But Mr.. Roosevelt insists that the
people must trust the Republican
managers and that the source of the
Republican party's campaign fund
will not be revealed until AFTER

campaign is being financed!

in these months are, that your building is dry there
are fewer showers the painters not rushed, and
when, most impor tant the life is not baked out of
