To Be TRIED FOR
MURDER OF HUSBAND

Denver, Colo, Nov. 1S.-Great inter

Mrs. Gertrude G. Patterson, the open
ing of whose trial upon the charge of
having murdered her husband, Charles
A. Patterson, on September %. last. Is
set for next Monday in the criminal
court of this city. Both the state and
the defense are reported to be ready
for the trial and it is expected that
the proceedings will be unusually in
tere sting and sensational.
The tragical death of Charles A.
Patterson, former a promising young
man with bright mind and a fine
athletic record but, at the time Of his
death physical wreck suffering from
tuberculosis, was the elimination of

A Capable District Attorney

The Office Of district attorney o
this district during the past years ha,
been filled by some OF the best law
yers this country has ever produced
Each and every one OF them have
made splendid records. 1t is an office
that requires man of exceptional
! ability and with courage to prosecute
all offenders of the law regardless of
whom they may be. The man who
holds that office meets with many
difficulties in the discharge of his
duties and he must be a man capable
of overcoming these difficulties.
The office of district attorney of this
district Is now filled by one Of the
most capable lawyers that ever graced
that office, and he has proved himself
to be the right man in the right place.
While young in years and experience
as a prosecuting attorney he has dem.
onstrated his ability to be ella ssed
with the foremost prosecuting attor-
news of the state.
Everyone who heard Mr.. Davis ar.

been before the district court of
Milan county since Mr.. Davis was
elected year ago, and it gave him
an opportunity to convince the people
that when they elected him they made
no mistake.

years to come Mr.. Davis will be ele.

than a casual compliment, and is
therefore highly appreciated by Mr..
Davis and his friends.

The Houston Post asks: where
would Mr.. Bryan be if the republican
We're to nominate La Toilette and the
democrats Governor Harmon?" Hav-
ing no authority to answer for Mr..
Bryan, We can only express the opin,
ION that in the improbable contingency
suggested by the Post Mr.. Bryan
would (as he has always done) hold
principle above party and support LII
Toilette. To do otherwise would be to
Stultlfy himself. 1t is, moreover. our
opinion that La Toilette would get
more democratic votes than Harmon
would get. The people don't wear
brass collars now and are not afraid
OF the crack Of the party whip. When

A LETTER FROM REBECCA FELL
TON.
TON

Dear Sir: I wish to thank you for
the review you made of my MEM
cries of Georgia Politics., in the No
Vember number of your Magazine
It was fair, impartial and evidently
written in a dispassionate frame of
mind. You have had so many rough
experiences in Georgia politics, that
you were prepared to appreciate the
story of my deceased husbands en-
counters; but no word of personal
feeling intruded upon your criticism
and l appreciate your forbearance
as we'll as your kindness.
have perhaps waited too long to
give my memories the strength of
vigor that the subject warranted
but my husbands invalidism and my
consequent cares, left me but little
leisure until he passed away, when
nearly 81 years old. Since his death,
I have employed the time assiduously
because l had also passed my 18th
birthday, before I settled down to
this pleasing task. I had, however,
been careful to collect data during
thirty odd years-and he approved
my plan and urged me not to delay.
During his Congressional and Leg
islative life, he was continually at
tackled by various Georgia politicians.
They had every advantage as to
newspaper publicity. The political
papers were packed with yit1peration

tory; but l fully intended-so far as
l was able to do SOTO give my testi-
mony in behalf of the truest patriot
| ever knew, who served his native
State with an eye single to her glory
and prosperity, and who died as he
had lived-with the respect and af-
lection of those who knew him best
and loved him longest.
1t was never with me a question of
financial gain in this-my book VEN
ture; but it was burning question
of duty to the living, as we'll as the
dead; because good name is better
than riches-and the good name can
stay with US after the riches have
taken Highland the heritage of a.
good name is worth all proper de-
tense and protection; and the truth
is all that divides fact from fiction in
politics, as well as in literature or
religion.
With great respect,

''Short Talks on the Tariff"
The Federal Government does not tax
wealth; 1t taxes poverty. It does not levy
tribute on what the citizen has accumulated,
but upon what he needs and must buy. You
pay your Federal tax when you purchase ar
tlcles manufactured abroad; and you pay trib-
ute to the Trusts when you buy goods manu-
featured in the United States
The Tariff is the greatest issue now before
Congress and the people. It will be the great
issue in the national campaign of 1912
Don't you want to understand it thorough
ly? In our "Tariff Primer" the subject is
treated in such simplifed manner that any
cody can comprehend it. Get a copy of our
little book, and familiarize yourself with the
outrageous system of legalized robbery known
as ''the Tariff
We also have in press collection of those
articles written by Mr.. Watson which have
been the most popular This book will have
cloth binding and will be profusely illustrat-
ed. It will be entitled ''Prose MisceIlaries."
1t will contain such pieces as "The Vulture,"
"Convalescent," ut Comes But Once Year"
"The Wine Cup" with Brisbane at Del

John D. Rockefeller has retired from the

With John D. goes William Rockefeller, Hen

up the monster Trust. Not a Rockefeller is
left in the Board of Directors. but all of the
old crowd still retain their interests in the oil
business.

John u: Archbold and Henry Clay Folger,
Jr., have both been trained under the Rookie

While John D. may have retired from the
active direction of his interests he has left
them in the hands of those who have been his

he has depended to do the work as he wanted

advice is needed it will be given and followed

the people of millions in the past.
