The extreme limit is reached by
General Hadley when he talks OF his
activity against the Standard Oil
Company. Hon. Chas. Nagel, Of st
Louis, appeared from the first rs as
sorney for the Standard OIL Com
pany In Hadley's case, and his briefs
therein are now on file In the case.
Hadley knew these connections, yet
as a delegate to the National Repub.
lican Convention he supported Nagel
for Republican National Committee
man, and he Is to-day In constant
touch with Nagel, who, as the ma
tional committeeman, Is bending his
efforts to carry Missouri for Hadley
and Taft. For bis private political
purposes he heralds his sell. written,
seli-headed newspaper article G
against trusts, but always keeps, by
his acts, close enough to the trusts
to get the benefit OF their pernicious
influences. In this, like the liquor
question, he is carrying water on
both shoulders. With him Il is any.
thing for a vote, and has been, ever
since he has been in Office.

DEMOCRATIC EDITORS MEETING.

The meeting OF the Democratic ed.
tors OF the State In st. Louis last
week was the largest attended and
most enthusiastic Of any similar
meeting we have had the pleasure OF
attending. The morning session
was held at the parlors Of the Plant
ers Hotel and was devoted to talks
from men OF national regulations,
who discussed the political situation
as 1t came under their personal
observation. Mayor Wells welcom
ed the editors, and among other
things reminded them that from a
matter OF conscience that he had op.
posed Mr.. Bryan In 1896 and 1900,
but is now giving him loyal and en-.
thusiastic support A well.known' Dem
ocrat who had just returned from q
trip TO New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and other eastern states, said that he
never Witnessed a more united and
enthusiastic campaign on the part OF
the Democrats, ana while he was
skeptical OF Mr.. Bryan's success be-
fore he went east, be was converted
to the belief that he will be elected.
The editors were taken In cars to
University City as the guests Ct E. G.
Lewis, mayor and publisher. They
had the pleasure OF examining bis
large publishing plants and partak.
ing OF bis hospitality In q delicious
lunch, served in the large press rooms
ofthe Woman's Magazine. An after

tion hall on the top floor OF the Wo.

occasion OF exchange Of ideas by the
editors and very satisfactory reports

 Penny Arcade Talk.
 Now wc hear in the graphophones in penny arcades a speech of this candi- date, including in sonorous tones, Why should the poor workman he de- nicd the sacred right of q trial by jury for his alleged crime A white man gets sickish feeling when he sees such a deliberate attempt to suck sym pathy by the most internal deceit.
 What brought up the subject was a demand by the Labor Trust leaders that their lawbreakers. sluggers and dNnamiters, when they disobey the or- ders of the court and do these acts. be tried for contempt of that court by a Jury instead of being sentenced by the court itself for contempt of its orders
 
 In that plan the Trust leaders hope to make 1t easy for their workers to do these acts and escape by a packed or frightened Jury,
 But mark you the clean-cut distinc- tion and here we lift the stone and put sunlight on the hidden, hleached Sauir- mers and show how they try to misin- form the public to gain sympathy and play upon the emotions of the unin- formed,
 Under the present law every criminal has a right to trial for his crime hy iury. Th~ raid sIrgr@r 1T fIr "cnTer1aIrs ment committee" of labor union all ways has a jury trial for manning or killing another workman. or for blow ing up property. He is tried by law court and 2 jury. Notice therefore me hypocrisy in the maudlin appeal of Bryan and other wilful pervertors of fact when they say "why should the worklngman he denied the sacred right of trial by jury for his alleged crime?" man who commits a crime against the people, whether he has smut on his nose and poses as a martyred workinfman' or has his finger nails manicured and ia a member of a capt.
