1t is declared that a sufficient
number of the Republican mem.
bers of Congress are pledged to
support the bill to place print pa
per on the free list to pass the
measure with the assistance OF the
Democrats, who all favor it. But
the three Republican bosses Of the
House, Cannon, Dalzell and Payne,
will not allow them to move. Like
q row of performing puppits these
Representatives CD OF the people
dance only when the bosses pull
the strings and sit like wooden
dolls when the leaders will it.
They could vote with the Demo
Gratis and override the gag rule OF
the bosses, but they haven't the
independence and courage OF their
convictions. To such uses has
representative government come
under Republican rule. Turn the
usurpers out aud elect representa-
tives who represent.

Mr.. Dean Gibson, editor of the
Lead Belt Banner, is candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Justice OF the County Court in the
Second district. Mr.. Gibson was
born in Nebraska and came to Mis-
souri, about fourteen years ago,
making this State his home. He
has been engaged in newspaper work
at Bonnie Tcrre and Flat River since
1900, ana last September bought the
Lead Belt Banner, in the thriving
mining town OF lockwood, and has
successfully conducted it along
Democratic lines and made of it a
good local paper. His candidacy il
in response to the people of that
part Of the county who feel that they
would like to have representative
on the county bench. He expects to
make n close canvass of the Second
district, get better acquainted with
the people and their local interests,
and we cespeak for him careful
consideration Of his claims on the
the part Of Democratic voters.

PEACE-REST-.ASSURAN nee


Former President Cleveland, fol
whose opinions some people still
have respect. has again broken in
to print as an adviser of Demo.
Gratis. In Il recent letter addressed
to the pIutocratic New York World
he said: Our people need resi-
and peace and assurance, and II
will be quite in line with true De
mOcracy and successful policy to
impress upon our fellew. country
men that democracy still stands for
those things" Certainly democ
racy stands for peace and rest aud
assurance, but not for supineness,
inactlOu and submission.
There can be no peace while
predatory wealth stalks over the
land robbing the people under spe
clal privileges aud protection ac-
corded them by unjust Republican
legislation.
There can be no rest while the
demands of the people are spurned
by few bosses of the party in
power. who, by gag rule and usur.
patton of the pcrogatiyes Of the ma.
tioual legislature, dictate what
shall or shall not be done, while
their partisan slaves in the House
Of Representatives, who pose as
the peoples representatives, are
afraid to whisper an honest con-
viction or raise protesting hand.
There can he no assurance while
a multitude OF inferior Federal
courts, equipped by partisan ap.
pointees of n paradoxical President
whose emblem of representative
government as big stick, may en.
join the enforcement of the laws
Of a sovereign State; while the del
egated powers OF the Federal gov.
eminent are magnified by an elias
tic construction, and the cousti.
tuition decried for such restraints
as the courts cannot technically
override; while the reserved rights
of the States, the very bulwark Of
local and representative govern
ment, are being dwarfed and con.
tractPd by the centralizing policy
of the RooseveItian dynasty and
predatory wealth which has its
emisaries in both the Republican
and Democratic parties, essay ing
to shape their policies.
Is it peace aud rest and assur-
ance for this class that Mr.. Cleve.
land so earnestly pleadsi for which
he would have democracy standf
1t is against such that true democ-
racy contends and will continue to
contend until government for and
by the people obtains. Any
other peace and rest and assurance
would be unworthy the American
people, and it is just as true now
as when it was first uttered, that
eternal vigilance is the price Of
liberty" Aud vigilance means
action, not rest.

] was asked short time before
the election who the directors of the
public schools were, whether they
were men whose children attended
the public schools, so that they were
practically and personally interested
In them, or men who held the po-
sition just because they were elect
ed for some personal reason, and

rcctors. Since the election, / know

whom is II patron Of the schools and
the other is not. | was told short
time ago that the Pennington pub
lie schools do not take Il high rank
ms schools, and | believe 1t is the
fault of the citizens of the town if
this il the case. Look at the Flat
River schools, progressive and up
tu-date in everything. do not be-
licvc for one instant that their
teachers are one hit better than
those in Pennington, but the people
and the teachers are so allied to-
getheT that the very best results are
obtained. They have some one reg
ularly to keep the d0ings at the
schools before the people In the
weekly paper. THE TIMES has al
ways been open for school notes,
but it is seldom any one could be
found who could be enough interest
ed to furnish the items. The public
schools are the hope OF the nation,
and while / believe in higher edu-
cation, | am very strong advocate
of the very best and most lower ed
ucation. I'd put the kindergarten In
the schools, not as little extra,
but as the very first regular school
work, for the work done there will
make hrst-class foundation to
build on. Let us take an interest in
the work being done by our teachers,
and so encourage them to do the
very best that can be done. Did you
ever realize that teaching is dreary
work? The same routine every day
has to be gone over, and sometimes
the children are not as bright and
studious as they might be, so that
the teachers need some encourage
ment when they are trying to do
their duty.

Did you ever really consider that
the point of view had much to do
with the affairs of life. was very
forcihly reminded of this when
looked at my lawn, and then at the
ncighbOring ones. Mine was So bare
and the grass seemed SO scant
while the others seemed SO pretty
and green. That was the view point
from my porch. When crossed
the street and looked back, was
amazed to see what brave appear
ance my own yard had with its
greenery, and even if the effect was
produced by weeds and daisies, it
was green .EThc lesson to learn is il

Six men with telephone headpieoes over

charts we're taken completely by surprise
yesterday afternoon when loud voice
behind them called out:
"That'll dol Games over. boys You're
all prisoners The captain wants to SEE

The voice was that OF Detective lawson
Of the John street police station The
six men slammed down the headpieces
and turned to face Lawson and Capt. Will

The raid was made by Capt, Hogan and
his men on room 81 on the sixth floor Of
the lwelve story building at 81 South William

that convinced him racing information
bureau was being conducted. The men
at the telephones did not know OF the pres
enoe Of the policemen until. at a signal
from Capt, Hogan, lawson called to them
that they were under arrest.
The telephones we're torn out and, with
the racing charts, which were partially
checked Oh for the second race AT Bennings
which the charts as checked showed was
won by Call Boy. we're taken as evidence.

EsSER HELD FOR GRAND JURY
Magistrate Views Allegcd Theft Of Parts o.
I,eayttt.Bllss Torpedo seriously.


Leautt.BllSs Torpedo seriously.
Magistrate Manner in the Adams street
court Brooklyn, yesterday held William
Esser, the expert mechanic who is charged
with grand larceny for stealing parts OF a
Leavitt- Bliss torpedo used and manu-
iactured exclusively for the United States
Government by the Z. w. Bliss Company,
for the Grand Jury, The accused was
released on g 900 ball Il is only q few
weeks ago since Magistrate Dooling in the
same court dismissed the case against
E.sser on substantially the same evidence
presented at the hearing before Magistrate
Naumer This opinion was filed by Magis-
trate Naumer
The defendant is charged with grand lar
ceuy. The alleged subject Of the larceny IL
certain property claimed TO belong to the
r. ". Bliss Company and consists Of certain
pieces OF metal forming parts of and used IN
the manufacture Of what Ia known as the
lea yitt-Bliss torpedo. When constructed
one of these torpedoes is worth several thou
sands oi dollars They are manufactured
exclusively Tor and used exclusively by the
United States Government. No other per-
son or Government may purchase them or
any integral part Of them Whatever OF
efficacy or advantage attach 10 them az
agencies OF war are the sole possession OF our
Govcrnlnent,
Therefore any person who steals one
Of these torpedoes, or the separate com
ponent parts thereof commits larceny not
only. but lays himself open to grave sus-
uicion that In committing the theft he was
ed by motive unfriendy TO our Gov
ernment This latter circumstance may not
dggrava,e the degree Of the crime under our
state laws but It certainly renders the offence
one which officials should be especially alert
10 detect and Illustrate
The evidence in this cas-, proves that the
defendant wac formerly in the employ OF the
complainant company and worked on the
various parts Of the torpedo In question
Recently there we're found in his house all oi
the separate paris comprised in Leaviu-
Bliss torpedo. By assembling these separate
parts a torpedo Of that character could be
completely constructed. Several wrenches
bearing the mark Of the complainant com
pan, we're also found in the defendants
residence.
There can be no doubt that the various
parts of the torpedo aforesaid were stolen,
and that IN" defendant did not have any
lawful right TO them Having worked for
the Bliss company lie must have known
that outside OF the Bliss factory no one could
lawfully have the possession of those articles,
excepting an authorized agent OF The United
States Government. The explanation which
the defendant offered TO the Court Is not at all
convincing Il does not satisfy me, The
facts and circumstances proven before me
leave in my mind feeling Of strong proba-
bility that the property above mentioned was
stolen from the factory premises oil the Bliss
company, and that the defendant was con-
Cerned in the theft.
| must therefore hold him for the action
OF the Grand Jury.
