MEREDITH HITS
POLITICAL TRUST
DECLARES I'll HAS EVEN ENTER
ED TEMPLE OF JUSTICE In
VIRGINIA.

Political monopolies received some
attention at the hands of Wyndham
r. Meredith in his annual address be
fore the alumni of Richmond College
Tuesday night. He said:
"A reasonable restrain OF trade may
occasionally mark other trusts, but an
office trust knows no restraint Of it's
Unsuitable appetite. TO attain it's ends
in this Commonwealth it is asserted
that 1t has entered even the temple
OF justice and some at least of those
who would preside therein must wear
beneath the judicial errnine both the
party label and the collar of the
boss"
Mr. Meredith deplored the fact that.
the number Of qualified voters In
Richmond is hardly s,ooo. and of
this number several thousand fail to
exercise the right OF suffrage. He
estimated that those who participate
regularly in elections would not ex-
coed $500.
Going further. he pointed out the
LOO officials and employees of the
city government Estimating that
each Of these controls two votes aside
from his own, there are 200 votes
making u majority of the $500 cast
controlling the affairs of a city OF
1900 people. All these. city en-
ployes, he said. vote rs a paramount
duty. which he accounted for 'hy the
fact that indifference would doubtless
cost them their jobs.
AS wemedy he advocated putting
city employees under civil service. and
II this did not cure the evil, to force
every man TO pay his poll tax by i'm
posing fine fer failure to do SO.
Now that the danger Of negro DOM
ination il escaped, ne continued, the
habit of answering TO the call OF one
party Is no longer necessary, but de-
notes political atrophy. He comment
ed on the fact that although nearly
ten years have passed since this view
OF parties to the State has become
superfluous. our people still look upon
the world and proclaim only one par
ty to be good

CINCINNATI O., juno l6,-The ending
OF sensational trial came today when
attorneys representing the prosecution
and defense in the case of Edgar s.
Cooke. charged with embezz!ing S22.oo
from the Big Four railroad. said they
would foreeo arguments. The court
thereupon announced that instructions
would be given the jury tomorrow.

The defense was begun and ended to-

the entire testimony upon which II rests.

Mrs Cooke had inherited about 100000
from her fathers estate.
Much OF the cross examination was de-
voted to questioning Cooke regarding the
meaning of certain letters which he had
written Mrs. Ford. Cooke declared that
references in them 10 money matters
were written with view TO mlslead
Mrs. Ford and TO keen her from making
demands on him He said he really
