AS early as 1 o'clock in the after

day Waterman at the iron works. had
opened the great yard gates, and the
men began to gather by twos and

AS the numbers increased the men

scribes Clay as being the possessor
of remarkably long ears and prodi-
giously big feet. His favorite attitude
was sitting, book in hand, with feet
elevated, leaning against a tree. He
would always stop and converse pleas
antly with young Cooper whenever
they met and the latter has always
cherished his memory IN his heart of
hearts. The opposite, however, is
true in the case of Thomas H. Ben
ton. The Coopers removed from Ken
lucky to Clay county, Missouri, in
1887. Mr.. Coopers father became a
close political associate and trusted
lieutenant OF Benton. He managed
Denton's campaigns in that section

was a frequent visitor at the Cooper
home. On one of these occasions the
younger Cooper was tempted to whip
Benton. MY father" said he, in a
reminiscent mood, was a talking

speech than Benton. At one time
when the latter was spending the
night at our house my father said,

meanness and cheapness OF practical

all robbed OF its sting. over the whole

1t is to be regretted that the public
at large has not q better knowledge
OF the newspaper worker. Generally
speaking, the public knows the vices
or the newspaper man without any
sort of knowledge Of his virtues. 1T
Is generally believed that the news

In matter Of fact, he leaves untold
vastly more than he tells He has the
power Of a giant, but he uses il as

the welfare Of the community de-
mands that the blow should fail

add that this is what the greater num-

INJURIOUS LEADERSHIP.

Il Paso, Dec. :.
Editor FL PasO Herald:
Last Saturday evenings issue Of The
Herald contains a most valuable public
service in the very complete presenta-
ton of the facts in connection with
the dynamiting operations Of persons
affiliated with union labor during the
last several years.
I wish to congratulate you particu-
larly on the splendid editorial in that
connection.
While agree that the good men in
the labor organizations condemn and
repudiate the crimes which have been
committed on behalf of organized Ia
Dor my view Of the matter holds labor
organizations in particular and gen
eral, responsible for the continuance Of
the Outrages which have discredtted or
ganized labor during the past several
years.
1t is certainly up to the labor organ
izations Of the country to clean up and
get rid Of the anarchists and dynamiters
in their ranks, especially when these
criminals are practically at the head
and IN control of the organizations The
country cannot stand for organized Ia
Dor If it is correctly represented by the
attitude Of president Gompers in rela-
ton to the destruction Of the Times
building at Los Angeles prior to the
confession Of the McNamaras.
