A recent issue of the EmpOria,
Kansas, Gazette contains the follow
ing criticism of Ezra Meeker, the
noted Washington pioneer:
Ezra Meeker was at Atchison recently.
and the papers there are full of him.
Many people suppose that Ezra travels in
his covered wagon, driving his oxen, but
he does nothing of the kind, and this is
why a good many Kansas newspapers
which used to speak admirably of him
are tired of the sound of his name. He
travels from town to town by railway,
and has hired man who navigates the
prairie schooner. Ezra does the posing
and talking and passed the hat while
the hired man and the old bulls pound
the pike.

Quite an excitement resulted from
runaway marriage. Saturday, when

mire, of South Bay, came to town
and were quietly married by Rev. r.

the young lady was under age and
telephoned to Tacoma for their ar
rest, that point being considered the
probable destination of the newly
wed. AS nothing has been heard
from the young couple. it is proba-
BILE that the officers of the law have
been blinded by cupid's darts and
have failed to discover their trail.

DO THE PEOPLE RULE?
All the Recent Publications Convince
the Voters that Trusts Control
Legislation.

After all the excitement over the
publication OF the Standard Oil letters,
showing that trusts control IegisIa-
ton, has reached the stage where the
voters sift the wheat from the chaff of
sensational publications, what will De
the logical conclusion in the minds
OF the voters? 1t will be:
THAT the people do not rule be.
cause the national lawmakers Iegis-
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.
1t 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. If the magnates
are not punished criminaIy, 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 a Federal
statute. If everything in America is all
right as to Federal laws for eleven
years, the Republican party deserves
the credit. If "eviIs have crept in"
the Republicans are responsible. The
only hope for a change lies in the cleo
ton of Bryan.
Suppose some individual Democrat
has been employed by trust. He
could not get a law passed, he could
not get "an immunity BATH" he could
do nothing effectively for the trusts
unless d 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
fairness to Republican laws and Repub-
Iican officials.

was to that place he was brought as
child by his parents from England in
1849, and there, with the Bakers on an
adjoining farm, he was reared; and in
due time daughter from that neigh
boring farm became his wife. The old
homestead is occupied by an older
brother even to this day; and agree
ably enough, the Baker place also is
in possession of the corresponding
generation of Bakers.
