ANEGRESS FORGER.
SanIe Spence ROrOes IA Cheeks
ON Her Aunt and is Now I'm JaIl.


Sallie Spence, Q Keytesville
negress, aged "a years, who wat
reared by her half aunt, Mrs
SaIlie Smith, COL, of this place
is in the county jail swaitine
trial at the next May term of cir.
Quit court on the charge of for.
gerry.
Beginning February 6, 1907,
che commenced forging checks
bearing ''the mark" of her aunt,
who is unable to write. She
also forged the name of Carrie
Duncan, wife of Aaron Duncan,
COL, to most of the checks ss a
witness to Mrs. Smiths "msrk. -
Two of these checks were for
SO, each, two for So, each, one for
81, three for 81, each, one for SO,
two for SO, each, two for $40,
each, and the last one, dated July
80, 1908, was for 10, making a
total of $3.50, and all being on
the Farmers bank of Charlton
county where Mrs. Smith had
deposited the money in small
amounts for use in ola age or
what some would call ga rainy
day."
The aunt was told by different
parties that her niece was not
doing right, and this aroused
suspicion on the part of Mrs.
Smith, and which finally led to
the discovery of the several for.
geries and that every dollar she
had in the bank had been drawn
out by Sallie Spence.
Not long since the bank sent
for Mrs. Smiths bank book in
order to balance it, and Sallie
Spence was given the book to
take to the bank. She returned
home without the book and told
her aunt that it and the checks
would be sent her through the
mail. Instead of taking the book
to. the bank it seems that Sallie
Spence made way with it.
Matters were assuming a seri.
GUS nature, and three or four
weeks ago the willy Sallie skip.
ped out and went to Moberly.
The true condition of affairs
was afterwards discovered, and
Mrs. Smith had a warrant issued
for her niece's arrest. This war.
rant was served by Deputy |
Sheriff G. W. Gardner and Con-
stable Jas. Worshsm of Keytes-
will, who went to Moberly Sun.
day afternoon and arrested Ssllie
after she had emerged
from Union station dressed in
her best bib and tucker.
She was locked in the city jail
at Noberly Sunday night, and
brought to Keytesville the next
and taken before Jus.
ice Warner Ford where she
waived q preliminary hearing,
and in default Of a bond of $500
was committed to Jail to await
rial at the May term of circuit
,ourt which meets Monday, May
2.
The case on which she is being
prosecuted is the check 9 b Q
forged for $40 under date of July
3, 1908. This leaves 13 other
counts against her on which the
state has a right to prosecute if

Is 10 a Put up Job7

SAos " W OoLhO Ott AoO NOSAk hOS
ss county his hwev engineer, bu
investigation by the CoURIET
proves that the resignation
has not been filed witt
the countv clerk at least
and thsc if it was ever intended
to be offered it has a string to il
and is TOO good to be true.
1t is said, however, that Dam.
eron told certain members of the
county court that he "could not
make a living" at the salary
now paid him as county highway
engineer-S1, 400 q year.
In addition to this salary Dam
eron also realizes more or less
from his office of county sur.
veyor and civil engineer OF
drainage districts, and if the
three jobs do not afford him q
good living we fear o. G. is liv.
ing too high.
There are decided surface in
dications that his threatened
resignation is only a bluff and
for the purpose of bulldozing the
county court into re.instating
him at the old salary of $4,000 a
year.
A little more than two years
ago he wept the court into in.
creasing their offer to him as
county highway engineer from
81, 800 to $4,000 per annum.
Fearing that his tears will not
again avail he seems to have
concluded to pursue different
tactics this time.
Can il be that there is an
understanding" between Ger.
tain members of the county
court and Dameron that his
salary is to go back to the old
figures? =,
There are some who think it is
put Up job, but the COURIER
hopes they are mistaken, and
hat the county court will come
,lesr of any such suspicion.
But if Dameron really intends
10 resign as county highway
engineer he should also sur.
'ender his Office as county sur
7eyor, as he would, indeed, be
n pretty prediosment to earn
living as surveyor without the
'moluments from the office of
county highway engineer.
AS a dire extremity the county
ourt might issue an order to
end o. G.. to the poorhouse
Vhere the problem of "making q
wing" would worry him no
onger, and the rest of US would
ave to foot the bill.
On the other hand it may be
hat o. G. has concluded that
tits a shame to take the money"
nd has made up his mind to
esign on that account.
We are anxious to see what
ction the county court will take
4 the premises, but it is our
sndid opinion that if Dameron
ltends to step down and out he
hould make q clean sweep, and
nat the county court should
1row no stone in his way to
nat end.
This county flourished long
efore "Dick" Dsmeron ever
cid an office, and there is no
sason why it can not and will 1
OF DO so again.
If Dameron is the only pebble I
n the Charlton county beach
lat can fill the office of highway
ngineer, the county court {
hould bear in mind that there I

In his speech at Denver yesterday
Theodore Roosevelt said regarding
the courts:
Take the first knight sugar trust
case. In that the supreme court of
the United States, under the cover Of
what a man whose interest is chiefly
in a sane constructive stewardship
can only call high technical legal
sublety. handed down decision
which rendered II exceedingly diff
cult for the nation effectively to con-
troll and use the masses of corporate
capital in interstate business, as the
nation obviously was the sole power
that could exercise such control, for
II was quite beyond the power of any
one state.
This was really a decision rend-
ering il exceedingly difficult for the
people to devise any method control
ling and regulating the business use
of great capital in interstate COM
merce. II was a decision nominally
against national rights, but really
against popular rights.

Washington. Ind. Aug. 30
Judge Houghton. of the circuit
court. sitting in chambers. issued a
restraining order against the strik-
ing machinists of the Baltimore a.
Ohio Southwestern railroad. The
order Is said to be the most sweep
ing ever issued in the state. even
inhibitlng the strikers from main
tanning a picket line or headquar-
tiers In which to congregate. II bars
interfering with the strike-breakers
for the purpose OF seeking members
for the union; forbids conversation
with any member of a strike-break-
er's family; puts a ban on any sort
of assembling; In fact, IL practically
forbids discussion of strike matters
by the strikers. The document Is
quite lengthy and deals with the
history OF the strike from its ineep-
ton, recounting many alleged acts
of violence. The order was served
on the 30 defendants early this
morning.

legislature proposed and the New
York governor signed a bill to rem
edy these improper conditions. The
nation had no power in the matter.
Acting on information whichc
seemed ample and sufficient,
the governor and legislature of New
York took action which they deemed
necessary. The governor and legis-
lature alone had Affirmative power
to remedy the abuse. But the SUI
preme court of the United States pos
sessed, and unfortunately exercised
the power Of not permitting the
abuse to be remedied.
They declared the action by the
state of New York unconstitutional
because, forsooth, men must not be
deprived of their liberty to work
under unhygienic conditions. They
were powerless to make
remedy 10 provide for wrong and
their refusal to permit the action by
the state did not confer any power
upon the nation to act.
"In effect, it reduced to impotence
the only body which did have power,
so that in this case the decision, al
though nominally against state rights
was really against popular rights,
against the Democratic principle OF
government by the people under
forms OF law"

STATE PRESS.
.
A Lemon for the Colonel.

II used % be said that the Courier
Journal was the great organ OF the
organized Democracy of the state
and that in other days ii was dubbed
IA power for good" but those hal
|cyon days. have passed for that once
great political newspaper has. for
the pas. several years. foundered
about from one interest" to another
until its political power. from DEM
ocratic standpoint amounts to but 1T
tie among the rank and file Of true
Democrats.
A close examination Of its political
conduct for the past twenty years,
leads us to the reasonable conclusion,
that IL Il had suspended publication
in 1894 and had remained out OF
business until 1909, there would
never have been a Republican in the
governors chair or in the United
States senate in the once Democratic
state of Kentucky.

icy of that paper elected Bradley

ate. Wilson governor and Bradley

all, there are many other political
sins piled up at its door. which will
take II generations TO receive full
and complete pardon at the hands of
an outraged Democracy.

pleases: he must carry a bottle of

saloons in every city. village and
hamlet and humbly bow to the whims
and dictation OF the whisky power

R. ROOSEVELT AND
COITRTS


Undoubtedly, Mr.. Roosevelt ex-
pressed the sentiment Of the aver
age man, when he quoted as appar-
emily inconsistent the opinions OF
the supreme court of the United
States, declaring in the sugar trust
case that the federal government has
not ample authority under existing
conditions to regulate capital en-
gagged in interstate commerce bust
ness, and in the New York bakers
case that the state has no authority
TO regulate hygienic conditions of a
bakery as affecting the personal
rights OF a man to work under any
conditions he desires. Bryan. lawyer
that he is, might have displayed the
same impatience with legal subtle
ties as opposed to a board philan-
thropy; but not so William II. Taft.
And here comes in that vague.
illusory, but irrefragible difference
between the otherwise heartily con-
cordant Roosevelt and Taft. which
attracts all the wildly erratic re-
formers to the one and drives the
fearsome reactionaries to the other
for refuge when they find their own
ways at variance.
RoosEvELT's AND BRYAN's
RULING PASSION Is A HATRED

ENDORSED BY DEMOCRATS.
Governor OF Colorado and Mayor of
Denver for Roosevelt.


Denver. Aug. 30.-Pandemonium
let loose when Roosevelt arrived in
Denver from Cheyenne. He went To
Overland park. where he addressed
the Denver Press club. The colonel
then returned to the city to address
a throng waiting at the auditorium.
That done he FASTENED TO the state
capitol and after speaking there he
whisked back to the auditorium To
speak to his old comrades at arms.
the Spanish war veterans.
Denver gave Roosevelt enough
time to change his clothing before
II required his attendance at the
closing event of the day,
The Roosevelt party leaves in the
morning for Pueblo. Col.
An unqualified endorsement OF
Roosevelt was given by Governor
Shafroth. OF Colorado. and Mayor
speer. OF Denver. both of whom are
Democrats.
The endorsement was given In the
presence OF a crowd assembled In
the great auditorium.
THE great majority Of the Re
publicans in the west and many
Democrats will not be content until
they see you at the helm" declared
the mayor. You are loved because
you are not controlled; you are In
dependent and your honesty OF pur'
pose appeals TO the heart. Your
courage has made your opponents
wonder what you will do next"
Governor Shafroth is hardly less
enthusiastic.
