HELD ON INSANITY CHARGE.
Former Hermann Man Is Arrested on
Wife's Complaint.

Pasadena, Cal.-Deputy Constable
Rubo arrested e. F. Woestman on a
warrant sworn to by Woestman's wife
on a charge of insanity.
The Woestmans formerly lived in
Hermann, coming to Pasadena about
two years ago. Shortly before leaving
Missouri Woestman inherited a large
sum of money. On a recent morning
he became violently insane and threat
ened to kill his entire family and then
shoot the house full of holes. When
Deputy Constable Rubo went to APP
prehend him Woestman changed his
mind about the house and leveled a
big pistol at Rubo. After considerable
maneuvering Rubo got the gun and
arrested Woestman.

WILL BUY 5000 HoLsTEINs.
Cows for Dairy Industry viii Be Paid
for in Milk.

Jefferson City.-Taking advantage
of an unusual situation in the north
and northwest the Missouri state
board of immigration is negotiating a
deal which will give the dairy indus
try in Missouri a great impetus and
increase the states revenue from this
source by many hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars.
The drying up of pastures in Wis
consin, Wyoming, northern Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, has created
a condition which makes the retaining
of much stock out of the question,
and farmers are willing to sell first
class dairy COW very cheaply. The
bureau has contracted to purchase
5000 head for distribution to various
points in the Ozarks. These COWS for
the most part are Holsteins, consid-
cred by many the best milk producers.
The purchase price of the COWS, $35
each, will be paid for by the farmers
in milk.

THIS ECONOMY!
REPUBLICAN EXPENDITURES Elk
cEED ALL PREcEDENTs.
Nearly One Hundred Millions In Elk
cess Of a Billion Dollar Appropri-
ated by Congress-5udget
an OUTRAGEOUS One.

-
Figures compiled by the clerical
force of congress and printed in the
Republic show that the late session
spent nearly 500. 600, 900 in excess
of $1,000, 900, 900.
In the last hours of that session
Chairman Hale of the senate hnance
committee and Chairman TaWney OIL
the house appropriations ommlttee
had a dispute over the exact amount
spent. 1t came about because out OF
the total spent, $1,09S, S47,184, the
bills for 81, OPT, 901, 629 will be payable
Immediately on presentation, whereas
payment on bills for $70,945,555 VIII
be deferred.
Because Uncle Sam, out on a tren-
zied and record-breaking shopping
strip, had an understanding that $Io'-
100000 worth of, the things he con
tracted for aren't to be paid for until
later, Mr.. Tawney insisted that the
money had not been spent at all.
That there is as much need Tor an
Insurgency against the way the stand
patters spend money as against the
way they frame tariff and railroad
bills and other legislation is apparent
to anyone who inspects the colossal
totals of this outrageous budget
When one party has been in uninter-
rupted control of the government FOL
fourteen years, 1000, 900, 900 SEES
sions and 50, 900, 900 900 congresses are
precisely what might be expected.
If the people are satisfied with the
.stand-pat system that makes appro
priations exceeding 1000, 100000 in
-evitable at each session of congress
they can positively insure a continu
ance of the system by continuing
stand-pat control. If they are not sat
listed with it, the only possible way Of
insuring it's discontinuance is by Civ
ing Democrats and anti-standpatters
generally control.
The budget of the present year is
the more depressing because Mr.. Tar
professed that he was making a vigor
Gus effort to keep down appropria
tions. If, with the administrator
sternly insisting on economy, more
money was spent than in any othe
year in all American history, hov
much would the standpatters haV'
spent If economy had not been mad

The Counterfeit southerner.

OF course, there are many counter
feits. A most amusing imitation Is
one that often passes for the typical
southerner In New York. This satchel-

sense of honor. Il hate a niger, sub"
he loudly proclaims, which is a senti-
ment that one never hears from those

theaters and parades the streets, since
1t is poor fun to practise his gentility
in private.
He wears a wide black hat, mounts
the table and yells whenever the band
plays a southern melody. Such a pre-
tentious caricature would be harmless
enough, but for the ridicule he brings
upon the south. Unfortunately, popu.

That 4PhlIlpplne RUM Dodge.

The a~pprehensions Of Connecticut
senatorial craftsmanship concerning
the ruin to the tobacco farmers of
the Connecticut valley, which was
surely to follow if Philippine cigars
were admitted free Of duty, must be
supposed to be considerably allayed,
since 1t appears that In the first year
of free Philippine cigars to the extent
of $780, 00, 900 only $4,000, 900, or but
a fraction over half the number per-
MISSILE, we're sent to this country.
In other words, as the New York Sun
puts it, "the horde Of underpald work
men, had been unable to find a market
here for so much "pauper labor tobac-
CO.. as it would have been allowed to
introduce duty free. Even If the whole
$50, 900, 900 free cigars had come in,
the amount would have been no more
than a drop in the bucket"-in other
words, a practically negligible guam
tity in comparison with the vast total
of domestic cigars consumed here. Yet
to head off ruin" like this, Connects
cuts senatorial Observation-Disclosures

country postmaster who had gone
wrong politically-was worrying over
the purely imaginary interests Of q
few tobacco farmers, and never lifting
its eyes to sweep that broader horizon
in which was plainly to be seen 8

play to a people who had been incor

honor and an offense against justic,

There Is seldom a day passes but
somewhere In our country from n to
a score Of our fellow men are assault
ed or murdered by members of this
band.
Then remember the homes blown
up or burned. The families bounded,
the rioting, burning Of street cars,
wrecking Of trains and attempted or
successful killing Of passengers.
The general disturbance of industry
and the thousands Of dollars forced
from tax payers to pay extra police,
sheriffs and militia to protect, even In
a feeble way, the citizens from the
mobs Of members of the American
Federation of Labor.
Then you will realize why the great
p~eace-loving majority Of over 80 mil
lion Americans protest against the
growth of this crime-tainted organiza-
ton comprising perhaps n and one
half million men, Of which 1t Is esti-
mated at least seven-tenths are peace
loving citizens and are members by
coercion and are not in sympathy with
the three-tenths who have gained con-
troll and force their methods.
We find that a few designing men
have seized control Of the American
Federation Of Labor, just as some
shrewd capitalists have secured con-
troll of some railroads and other In
terests and are now twisting and turn
ing them into machines for personal
profit and fame.
These men cunningly plan to force
workmen to join and pay 25 to Is
cents a month in fees.
Various methods r used to I'm
duce" workmen to join.
First, they talk of the tyranny Of
capital" making slaves Of workmen.
Then they work up enthusiasm
about the brotherhood Of man" and
other talk which experience has
shown excites the emotions of work
men and they are induced to join and
pay fees to the leaders.
The 5000 workmen in Battle Greek
are, as a rule, free from the dictates
of the great Labor Trust and still gel
the highest wages in Michigan. Il
they had Yielded to the smooth talk
Of the agents Of the trust and Joined
they would pay in fees from $1250.0C
to $2000.00 a month to the big trust
and be subject to strike orders any
time,
Now they save that and put the
money into homes and family com
forts
But the managers of the American
Federation Of Labor have worked
hard and long to harness them.
The trust has sent small bales O
money and last winter IS organizers
to tie up Battle Creek. They hirec
halls, gave picture shows, smokers
etc, as an investment, looking to rlci
returns when they succeeded In hav
ing them tied hand and foot.
But they failed and the last o
these %"organizers' left Battle Creel
on May LIST saying cts no use."
The workmen knew the record o
this great trust and formed their owl
association to protect their rights an,
also to protect them from the bi
Labor Trust.
In Philadelphia some 1000 indeper
dent street car men, who mainly ha
families, had their own union and re
fused to join the big trust, preferrin
to be free to work or not IS the
pleased.
But the trust planned to force Their
into the fee-paying ranks, so a strik
was ordered to compel the tractiol
company to kick out these men an
hire only Labor Trust members.

Wasted sarcasm.

The Philadelphia milk dealers who
recently raised the price of their
product to nine cents a quart and then
lowered 1t again to eight appear to
have been the subjects of a great deal
of unjust censure. They announced
at the time of the raise that milk
could not be sold at eight cents with
out loss. Finding that the consumers
would not pay the new price. however,
they are continuing to sell at the old,
thereby qualifying as genuine philan-
thropists. Every purchaser of milk
at eight cents a quart will doubtless
hereafter feel that he is IN object OF
| charity.
