THE fILLGRYs
Titus Oates and Daniel Defoe Both
Suffered In Ii.

Titus Oates and Daniel Defoe botH
Suffered In 1t.
In the year 1887 the British parlia'
ment pGs-sed an act that put an end to
punishment by pillory. Previous to
the conquest this particular instrument
of correction was in use in England
and went by the name Of the stretch
neck" 1t consisted of wooden frame
erected on stool in which were three
holes for the head and arms. For
days together offenders against the
common law were thus exposed to pub
lie view. From historic accounts it APP
pears that this particular form Of pun
ishment was melted out to those con-
,icted Of frauds of every description
not only In England, but in nearly
every country in Europe. In the days
Of the star chamber, when religious
feeling ran high, the pillory was the
ordinary punishment melted out to
those who offended against the church.
In 1855 Titus Oates was sentenced to
be pilloried for five days in every year
during the rest of his life. Another
famous sufferer was Daniel Defoe. the
author Of Robinson Crusoe," who
stood for three days in the pillory In
Cheapside. 1t happened on occasions
that the offender died while under.
going his sentence. During the time OF
exposure the condemned man was not
allowed to receive food Of any sort or
description. The last occasion on
which a pillory sentence was passed
was In 1814.-London Globe.

 "Once, at least, Mir. Kellogg tried his hand at promoting. As general counsel for the Chicago c eat West ern is step father to that road. The facts were brought out during a sen atorial investigation. In substance it's history shows that the Chicago Great Northern costs not more than s26, ,000.00 per mile; that the men on the ground floor sold it to the stock holders at S6s,994.63 per mile; that it then appeared on the books of the read at $9S,01100 per mile. There are various other interesting chapters in connection with this matter and it was figured out by the Investigating committee and set forth in its report that Kellogg and his associates by skillful' financiering and promotion had injected between S6,0O0,0 900 and S7,250, GOO water into IF miles of the railway system, all of which indicates that this famous trust booster might show some Wall street promoters a few things in frenzied finance.

an important Chicago Traffic officer of the Hartman road about this mat ter. His comment was I think MT. Hartman anticipates no trouble from MT. Kellogg's investigaticn.' Develop ments show that ne had nothing to fear.
 Tonnage tax upon iron ore. prac- tically all steel trust ore, was the sub tectof an investigation in March and April 1897 by a committee of the leg |islature of Minnesota, representing the steel trust for E. B. Hawkins and Frank B. Kellogg. At this time he was a special counsel for the federal government and an alleged trust buster. The trusts work was to pre- vent the increase of tax upon iron ore. Mir. Kellogg fought valiantly for the trust with threats and virtually with bribes, intended to appeal, to To- cal interests and prevent the merits of the proposition from being consid- cred. He threatened that if the law passed the steel trust would abandon virtually boycott Duluth. If the kaX was not increased a plant worth mil lions would be installed. A steel trust telegram to that effect was read before the committee by Mir. Kellogg personally. He was successful in de feating the proposed legislation. The steel trust which MT. Kellogg repre- sents is, as everyone knows, largely a creature of Standard Oil and on it's board of directors are such men as Rockefeller, Rogers and Flagler, standard oil fame.
 Other trusts, which Mir. Kellogg represents in Minnesota are the Har- yester Trust. the Diamond Match combinations which seek to evade the law and oppress the people. I repeat MT. Kellogg as a trust booster would make an ideal attorney general in MT. Taft's cabinet.

Kellogg is entirely wrohe when he says that he was elected a delegate to the Chicago convention in opposition to me. l never was d can didate for delegate or national commit teeman.

tee in Illinois until election day, and the national committee want me to go into Indiana and Ohio and keep at work until after election.
 However, as I just received 8 bunch of letters from my wife upon my return to Chicago, I told them that | could only remain here until Octo- Der 2S. as I was compelled to return to Arizona.
 Election talk is cheap. but l want to tell you that things are looking so good throughout the entire country that the national committee can aard ly believe the reports that are coming in, but just as sure as fate Bryan will be our next president, for Ohio Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia and New York will go for Bryan. As to local conditions in this state. Steven son will be elected by not less than 100000 majority, and Lloyd, chairman of the congressional committee, as sures me that the next house will be democratic by fair working major ity.
 The truth is that everything points to a tremendous landslide for Bryan and the democratic party throughout the entire east and l believe that nothing can stop the progress of the coming tidal wave. l nave met all of the national leaders and men who are coming to headquarters and you should see how cheerful and confident things are around our headquarters while at the republican headquarters things are dead.
 The Chicago Tribune had the en. tire state polled at great expense, Bryan that they were afraid to publish their poll for fear of creating a panic in the republican ranks.
 Bryan was here last night but did not see him or his reception, as had to speak at Glen Ellyn, but he had a wonderful reception, and you should see the men on the streets to day wearing Bryan buttons. You can not count them, while a very few Taft buttons can be seen.
 Give my regards to all of the boys and tell them to keep up the gooo work at home until get back fol just as sure as fate Bryan is going tC be elected by a great majority and we are going to have a democratic house and as sure as the sun rises and sets we are going to get state hodd for Arizona.

Especial to Review.)

CHICAGO, Oct 29.-In answering the charge of being a trust attorney. which George s. Loftus of St. Paul, commissioner of the Minnesota Ship pers and Receivers association recent ly made against Frank B. Kellog, re- publican national committeeman from Minnesota and candidate for attorney general in case NIT. Taft is elected, Mir. Kellogg asserted that Mir. Loftus had not included all of the corpora tions which he represented Mir. Kel- logg indicated pride in the fact that he was corporation attorney.
 In commenting on this criticism by MT. Kellogg Mir. Loftus said today:
 MT. Kellogg says that I did not enurn- crate all of his corporation connec- tions. He is quite right in this mat ter and l am prepared to say a little more concerning his appearance in Minnesota as the representative of trusts and combinations. l want to apologize to Mir. Kellogg, however, for referring to him as trust bust CT. ! should have spoken of him as trust booster for that is what he Is. As attorney general in Mir. Taft's cabinet MT. Kellogg would be of in. valuable service to the trusts; 1t would be difficult for Mir Taft to find anywhere a greater trust booster, as Is plainly shown by Mir. Kellogg's rec. ord in Minnesota. As further eyi- 0ence O. the fact that he is pr. Jekyl one day and Mir. Hyde the next, I want to call attention to his appear ance as special counsel for the inter state commerce commission at a hearing in Chicago on May and 3, 1897 when the commission was seek ing to establish the effect of the Bur lington, Great Northern and Northern Pacific merger.
 AS an evidence of his insincerity in this matter it is only necessary to mention the fact that the three men whom he called to prove his case were officers of the road interested Mir. Kellogg as government prosecu- tor, handled these gentlemen with gloves of thick and soft velvet He brought out from these officials for the delectation of the country thal the merger 'so-called' had stimulated local competition. had produced a bet

Arizona Man on an Eastern Stumping Tour Writes of Wonderful Enthusiasm On All Sides For Democracy.
(Phoenix Democrat.)

Eugene Brady oNeill. who is ex' pected in Phoenix within the next few days from ais eastern stumping tour has written Under Sheriff c. B. Wood an interesting letter regarding the Eastern political situation.
 O'Neill predicts the election of Bryan, and what Is of equal import ance to Arizona's hope for statehood predicts that the lower house of con gress. will be demcratic.
 o'Neill wrote the letter from the democratic national headquarters in Chicago on October 20. It was de layed several days in reaching Phoe- nix on account of a wreck on the Santa Fe. O'NeilI's letter to Wood is as follows:
 Friend Wood: I have just a few minutes to devote to letting you know just how I am getting on and what is doing in the political world as far as I have been able to see in my jour- neying throughout the country. l have thus far covered large part of southern and southwestern Illinois concluding my tour. on Saturday last at iPttsfield, the county seat of Pike county, at which place I spoke on Saturday afternoon and again in the court house Saturday night and both meetings were attended by large and enthusiastic crowds of people; in fact had large crowds at every place at which I spoke.

than those of 1906, so we expect that the farmers will ship abroad more than S1,000. .000,00 worth of their
 products. This is the foundations of
 American prosperity and it is a shane
 that the farmers have to suffer from 8 robber tariff when they contribute
 so much to our prosperity, If the tar if were removed from binding cord,
 wire fencing and wire nails, harvest CTS and farming implements, farmers of this country would be greatly ben efited thereby. But it is well known
 that the cordage trust, the wire nail trust, the harvester trust and the
 farming implement trust, are working with all their power to elect Mir. Taft
 so that they may continue to rob the American farmers.
 Going back into history a little bi., it will be seen that whenever a 2aaic occurs, the next presidential election after. goes against the party in power. Int first great panic, we had, was in 1887 which resulted in the complete rout of the Democrats in 1895 and 1Sf0. The next one occurred in '57
 whicf. also resulted in a republican
 house of 1858 and the democratic rout of 1860, the third great panic cccur- 9d in 1873 under Grant which resulted in
 the sweeping demoratic congressional tvictory in 1874 and again in the eiec- ti0I of Mir. Tilden in 1876. In 1893, this country had another severe pan | ic and the republicans then claimed thai the democrats were responsible

DOES NOT FEAR
 EITHER CANDIDATE
President Ripley of Santa Fe Has No Choice in the
 National Field,

President E. P. Ripley, of the Santa Fe, while still pessimistic, takes a slightly more hopeful view of the railroad situation generally, according to an interview which he is quoted as giving cut in Topeka at the annual stockholders meeting a few days ago. MT. Ripley is quoted as saying:
 Prom a railroad standpoint there is but little preference in the national election this fall. Personally we all have our preferences, bat ahe rail roads are fearing little from national legislation. And we don't want to be dragged into any political controversy, nor do I want to talk politics. No matter which way the national cleo ton goes, it will take business condi- 'tionc just so long to adjust them selves.
 It is the state legislatures that we : fear most. But regarding hostile leg islation from these sources the rail roads are optimistic. Probably they , have done us all the damage they can. i The twocent fare was an outrage on the railroads and this will probably in time be changed. Already the Ar kansas courts have knocked out the two-cent rate and in every other state ] the rate is still to be passed upon by i the courts as to its validity. I would hate to think that it had come to stay in Kansas or in any other state.
 "As to the business outlook at the present time, the Santa Fe is improv- ing. We are not hauling the volume or business that We did year ago, but conditions are now much better than six months ago. Our loss in business is in the traffic usually handled from the east Business in the west is as good as ever. The west Scarcely knew what the recent panic was. The entire country, however, is gradually recovering.
 "At the present time the railways are unable to secure funds to carry on new improvements on account of the shaken confidence in the money mar ket. Bankers won't handle railway bonds. We are unable to borrow money as the bankers are afraid tc lend it.
 As far as the Santa Fe is concern ed we will attempt no new improve ments during the coming year. We already have a large amount of new work under execution and we will car Try these projects through. Our other big pieces of construction which we have started will be pushed to com lpIetion.
 We will nave to feel our way care fully and keep operating expenses tc a minimum. Where reductions car be made, we are compelled to re trench, but we will not hesitate tc make expenditures where needed. Al any rate we will spare no expense 1T keeping the Santa Fe and its proper ties up to their present ecie1t saand ard"
