FIVEDEATHS this SESSION
Continued from page one.

Mann was the author of the legisla-
ton which brought the department of
commerce and labor into being.
A resolution introduced by Mr.
Mann to expunge the printed speech
from the Record was adopted by a
strict party vote, but not until after
Sultzer had bitterly denounced Mann
and there had been several lively
tits between the speaker and Sultzer.
Sultzer characterized Mann as a
"pettifogging lawyer, mean and con-
temptible," for which the speaker call
ed him to order with the remonstra-
ton that such language could not be
used by one. member toward another.
Sultzer then attempted to have the
speech read and later attempted to
read it himself, but the speaker in
sisted that he could only address
himself to the resolution to expunge
Sultzer then posed as an obstruc-
zionist and objected to all unanimous
propositions and halted the proceed
ings for some time by point of no
quorum.
After passing number of measures
relating to the District Of Columbia,
the house adjourned out of respect
to the memory. of Senator Bryan.

EXCUSED FOR
firing HIS GUN

1t may not be generally known
that it is unlawful to discharge fire
arms in ones own yard, unless for
good cause, but it is, and ignorance
of the law is not generally accepted
as an excuse.
Yesterday morning a white citizen
was arraigned in the police court on
a charge of pistol practice and it was
shown that the man was only testing
the weapon in his own yard. Judge
Johnson excused I'm as no one had
been injured, but stated what the law
was in this respect.

LIKES STETSON
BRAND OF HATS

A negro lad who evidently has dis.

Stetson hat from the Nelly store
yesterday. The boy passed by all
other hats, but the Stetson looked
good to him and he quickly swiped it
when he thought no one was looking
and placed it under a coat that he
was carrying under his arm.
While at the store the boy gave
his name as Mack Johnson; at the
police station, he registered as Leon

All the Recent Publications Convince
4 the Voters that Trusts control. ~, S,,, !,
1 Legislation. tistsq ,.,,

After all the excitement over the
publication Of the Standard Oil letters,
showing that trusts control Iegisia.
tIon, has reached the stage where the
voters sift the wheat from the chaff Of
sensational publications, what will be
the logical conclusion in the mihus
of the voters? II will be:
THAT the people do not rule be-
cause the national lawmakers Iesis-
late to suit the trusts. More trusts
exist today than ever, the people suf-
fer more from them, and they prac-
tice more extortion.
2.-That the party In power Is the
party through which the trusts rule.
The Republican party is now in power.
II writes all the national laws. In; a
speech in the last Congress, Mr.. sher-
man candidate for vice-President), ,
declared that the Republican party
assumed all responsibility for every
thing that has been done and for what
has not been done. That Is right
The trusts write the tariff laws passed
by Republican votes. II the magnates
are not puniGhed crinnInally. it is be-
cause Republican officials fail in their
duties. For eleven years the Demo
Gratis have had no power to frame
Federal laws or to execute Federal
statute. II everything in America 10 all
right as to Federal laws for eleven
years, the Republican party deserves
the credit. II "evIls have crept In"
the Republicans are responsible. The
only hope for change lies in the cleo.
tion of Bryan.
Suppose some individual Democrat
has been employed by a trust. He
could not get a law passed, he could
not get "an immunity BATH" he could
do nothing effectively for the trusts
unless a majority of the Republican
Congressman favored the trust meas
ures. The Republican orators can not
escape responsibility by trying to pick
out some Democrat who has been en-
pIoyed by trust. Recent disclosures
prove that the people do not rule, but
that the trusts owe their existence and
fatness to Republican laws and Repub-
lican officials.
