HENEY''s ASSASSINATION.

The diabolical plot to assassin
ate Francis j.. Heney at San
Francisco last week adds another
chapter to the disgraceful scenes
that have brought shame to the
fair name of that state during
the past few years. While in the
performance of his duty, he was
shot down by a man crazed at
being exposed in open court by
the fearless prosecutor. -
Universal sympathy is extend
ed by all good citizens, to Mr..
Heney and the sorrowful wife
who is tenderly watching by the
bedside of the stricken husband.
He has done a noble work and it
is the earnest wish of all good
citizens that his life may be
spared to finish the work of puri-
flying the atmosphere of public
life in high places.
Aided by his wonderful grit
and strong will power there is a
strong probability that he will re-
cover. -+,. .-.- a.. .,..
Haas was convicted of embez-
Element in San Bernardino coun.
ty, and on May 25, 1888, was SEN
fenced to three years in San
Quentin. He served two years
and eight months, having earned
four months by good behavior,
and was released January 25,
1890. Some years later he was
married and has a wife and four
children. He lived with his fam
lily at 1849 McAllister street, San
Francisco, and was engaged in
the saloon business at the time
he was drawn on the jury panel
for the second trial of Ruef last
May. After he had been passed
by both sides, Mr.. Heney learned
that he was an ex-convict. He
dramatically confronted Haas
with his picture in convict stripes,
closely-cropped hair and number
across his brest. Haas was forced
to admit his pentitentiary record
and was Immediately discharged
from the jury. From his state
ment it appears that he had been
brooding over his exposure ever
since that day, and has nursed a
deep hatred of MIR. Heney. which
culminated in the tragedy.
I'm live to prosecute that
man." declared Mr.. Heney on the
operating table at the Central
Emergency Hospital, while the
surgeons were probing his wound.

NEW ERA IN MISSOURI.

1t will no longer be denied that
Missouri has aligned itself with
the Republican party. The Re
publican party in the state has
steadily grown faster than any
other and the outcome has been a
mathematical certainty. Yet the
Bourbon element that dominated
the state refused to the last to
read the signs Alright or to change
its methods. What is called the
Old Guard made a desperate and
reckless effort to recover control
of the state and to some extent,
hastened it's own1f final overthrow,
but it was doomed in any case by
the general march of events. At
last Missouri politics has. been
modernized and the state put in
just balance with its important
position. = 4.44 !. ,.>.~- - :
Missouri is one Of the greatest
states in it's varied business in
terests and increasingly aware
that national policies are inti-
mately related to its prosperity.
The state is one of the, foremost
in manufacturing and mining as
well as agriculture. AS these ac-
tivities grow the state is swayed
by facts and arguments rather
than the sentiment of the rhetor-
ically eloquent campaign orator.
Nebraska went back to Bryan on
the strength of his pathetic per-
sonal appeals and state pride. but
the Bryan majority in Missouri
that was $4,000 in. 1896 dwindled
down in 1910 and,prs ctically van
ished in 1908. Missouri sees that
it cannot trust a free trader or a
chameleon expert in contriving
new issues and ccolly discarding
old ones. Considerations that
have made Republican the first.
second, third and fourth states of
the Union haveshad the same eff
feet on Missouri, the fifth state.
The congressional gains in this |
state are due to closer popular
study of the necessity of the pol
icy of protection. a&.s;s>
Missouri is fortunate in it's |
choice of its first Republican gov
