of how the protective tariff hurts the
prosperity of the country. 1t has dry

power of monopolizing home trade, and
they have done it to such an etxent
that they sell their goods in foreign
countries at considerably lower prices
than they ask for them from Ameri-
cans. The Elgin watch was taken as
an example of this. The Elgin watch
which sells in this country for $40 can
be bought in England for 81. and the
same proportion prevails in higher

He explained how the issuance of a
writ of injunction gives the judge the
right to hold its violator on the serious
charge of contempt of court when the
crime if any which was committed
would be a trivial affair. Its evident
unjustness and it's power for usurping
the rights and liberties of the people
were plainly shown.

BRYAN IN final APPEAL
TO AN AWAKENED NATION

is false. The Rockefeller corporation
is the most notorious law breaker in
the United States and he is for Taft
forced.
Rockefeller also says Taft's cleo
ton will make for stability of business.
What kind of business stability of the
trust business is what he means. He
thinks Taft's election will enable the
trusts to get tighter grasp upon the
American people and put their extor-
ton upon a more permanent f, unda-
ton. He says Taft is not mai in
clined to rash experiments. He might
have omitted the word rash for Taft
Is not I'm favor of any kind of expert
mentS in the way of remedial legisla-
ton. He does not propose remedies:
he simply glorieS in the past and
wants to leave conditions as they are.
Rockefeller says Taft would not
advocate measures subversive of in
dustrial progress, but what is indus
trial progress? Is it industrial prog
ress to allow one corporation to swal-
low up or bankrupt all other corpora
lions and then hold the country at its
mercy? Democrats have reason to be
grateful to Rockefeller for tearing the
mask off the republican campaign and
revealing the duplicity that has char
acterized it. Instead of openly attack.
ing the side of monopoly the republi-
can organization has kept up the pre-
tense of form and Roosevelt rushed
into the arena and allowed the charge
that the trusts were opposed to Taft
to stand. l challenged him to name
one trust officer that was supporting
me. Not being able to find an official,
he named a st. Louis attorney who
in one case represented the president
of a branch of the Standard Oil COM
pany.
Roosevelt in his eagerness to re-
lieve the republican candidate of the
odium of trust support, accepted this
as proof that the Standard Oil CON-
pany was supporting me, of how
Rockefeller, the head of the Standard
Oil company, was supporting me.
Now Rockefeller comes out openly in
support of Taft and gives the reasons
that lay bare the false pretenses upon
which the republican campaign has
been conducted. If the republican
party were honest, it would announce
that, having made arrangements with
the trusts for funds to finance the
campaign and having pledged the re,
publican party to protect the trusts
from punishment, it would release the
rank and file of the republican party
from further support of the republican
ticket"

The actual occurrence of events was an ticipated by successive buying likely to lead to heavy selling to take profits. American Smelling broke in the early dealings and again at the close.

HOW THE TRICK WAS TURNED.

For several gears it was the custom of Cornell Widow Boards to meet downtown every Sunday morning and breakfast together. The Widows breakfast table attained an onviable position among college affairs. Grad ually. however. the breakfasts became dinners in all except name. The uni versity witnessed the strange sight of a body of care-free students "break- fasting" at 8 o'clock of an evening. But the gentlemen of the university have always looked with uncensuring eyes upon the little vasaries and pe- culiarities of the widoWers. At the old breakfasts. after the members of the board had consumed large quanti- ties of meat. and had washed every
 thing down with many flagon of the finest Malmonsie. they would set them selves to the production of a Widow.
 Light conversation upon the exist ing good or evil of the day would bounce from lip to lip, and back to lip again. And many a goodly jest would unthinkingly slip out during the course of the conversation. The light con- versation and the goodly jest would be duly noted by the editor inc chief, who N'uih hiSti iOult Ailtiil.

In this way many of the early is- sues of the paper were produced. As # grew. however. these methods sank irto oblivion before the march of sys- ten.

AN ALLEGED HORSE THIEF RAISES A POINl OF JAW
He Had Not Been Fully Warned of the Extent Of the Crime He Was About to Commit.

Joe Davis and John Fisher. the men arrested for the theft of three horses from the Christy pasture on the night of December 26. and captured at King man a week ago. were arraigned be- fore Justice Johnstone yesterday. Fisher the elder of the two. expressed surprise that there were three charges of theft against them and he rose to point of information. How is that2' he inquired. Spose now. Judge. if 9 man has a dollar in his pocket belong ing to another man. and a half dollar belonging 10 another. and a quarter belonging to another. and I pick his pocket; can I be arrested on three charges?'
 The court replied that he could not. but in this case he said that the horses stolen belonged to three different men. though they happened to be in the same field. But how is a thief to know that they didn't belong to the same man. asked Fisher. in d tone that seemed to imply that the conceal ment of the ownership of the horses had been playing it pretty low down on him.
 The court suggested that 1t makes no difference whether he knows it or not and he further believed that a knowledge of the facts would not al- ter the program of the average horse thief. rThat's SO" admitted Fisher. as he gently toyed with his chin whis- kers
