him, at the completion of a soul

The pastor tried to deny their
charges, but they stuck to their
story and the gay Lothario left the
church never to return. Herein
he showed his weakness; he ought
have kept on denying and no

adherents. "We hushed the

The St. Joe Lead Company last
year, according to it's own an
nouncement, Melted q round mill
lion dollars. Can you blame their
employees, barely able to keep soul
and body together, for demanding
an increase in wages? at a fair
estimate, at least nine-tenths of
that million dollars were wrung
from the laborers' waste of muscle
and bone. How Internally wrong
the system which grows such a

NEARLY fifty years ago one
Abraham Lincoln designated this

seeking to recover their full need
OF control of their government, we
are being told that this is not a
government of the people, for the
people, by the people," but a
government of the people, for the
people," by representatives! The
Supreme Court is asked to declare
that a government of the people,
for the people, by the people," is
not republican as enjoined by
the constitution, but %mobocratlc!

Vital Washington News.
BY G. H.

WASHINGTON, October 15.-Pres-
ident Taft is demanding to know
with great bravado, what single
case of combination in restraint of
trade which ought to be COM
mended could not be reached un-
der the Supreme Courts interpre.
tation of the Anti trust law in the
Standard Oil and Tobacco trust
cases.
There are few who take issue
with the President. The average
man believes that the trusts
"could" be reached, if the govern
ment would set out in good faith
to reach them.
The vital issue dis not whether
the trusts sscould' be reached.
The real important question is:
Why is that not a single guilty
trust magnate has been sent to
Jail, or even called to the bar of
justice? The answer is that the
government does not send trust
magnates to jail nor control the
trusts because the trusts control
the standpat republican machine,
and for fourteen years the standpat
republican machine, in recogni-
ton Of campaign fund donations
and other %.favors, has permitted
special privilege to name the man
to be in charge of the prosecuting
machinery of the government.
The present Attorney General is
George w. Wickersham, whose
last act before taking charge Of
the government prosecuting ma
chinery was to draw down his
share of a handsome fee paid his
law firm by the sugar trust. When
q movement was started to
bring about o Congressional in

IF Tom Jones had been So, 900
short it would have been very
foolish in him to make good out
of his own pocket. According to
Republican precedent, set in the
case of the st. Louis Sub Treas
ury S61,500 steal, he ought have
applied to the court to simply
wipe the shortage off the books.
That's the easy way instituted by
the party that "does things"
The Rev. DR.. and his super
righteous coterie give their APP
prevail by dense and solemn
silence. Maybe, though, if a Dem
ocrat had been the BENEFICIARY of
the lost S6i,50O they might look
upon it differently. All things,
you know, belong to the saints,
and everybody knows who are the
saints.

ONE FRIGHTENED TRUST.

Chairman Ben Johnson, of the
Democratic District Committee of
Congress, has discovered that the
District of Columbia once bor-
rowed twenty-one million dollars
from the government, and forgot
to pay it back, He now proposes
to collect this debt. In conse-
quence, the Washington real estate
trust is in Mysteries. In the capt.
tai city the government pays half
the city expenses, hence taxes are
low. Despite this fact and the
further fact that hundreds of
houses are ~unoccupied, rents and
property values are higher than
in any other city of the size in the
country. Besides the real estate
dealers, the idle rich, who come to
Washington and build social
palaces, are calling Chairman
johnson a despot.

THREE MILLION SHORT.

1t has just been discovered that
the Washington Navy Yards is
upwards of three million dollars
short in it's accounts. AS yet, no.
body has been accused of stealing
anything, and the shortage is ex-
planned on the ground that the
bookkeeping system is at fault.
This system, or lack of it has
thrived under one Republican adj
ministration after another, and
nothing SO pleases the Republic
cans as to attempt to ridicule the
Democrats for putting into opera
ton a series of Investigations de-
signed to uncover, and remedy,
such little matters as ''three mill

Yesterday afternoon about i o'clock
Deputies Bowman and c. W. Johnson
arrested E. L. Mitchell. colored, on the
charge of selling whiskey without a
license. He was placed in the county
jail, but few hours later succeeded in
making bond in the sum of $4,000 and
was released pending a preliminary
trial.
Mitchell is one Of the best known
negroes in the city, having been a
resident of this place for a number Of
years, and is in good circumstances
financially. He is the proprietor of a
cooperage shop on Tarragona street.
1t seems that the offense or offenses
for which he was arrested were allegeo
to have been committed some time
ago. and that complaint had reached
the sehriffs Office recently, since which
time that Office has been at work on
the case with the result that Mitchell
was yesterday afternoon taken into
custody.
