success OF the Democratic ticket in the
Pine Tree State or, In fact, to make any

Dodees Personalities.

The Governor said there were many
noble men in the third party for good
purposes. but others also for special in

had forbidden himself the discussion OF

The Governor declared that II the

The Governor analysed the Republican

Where He Belongs at Last
(From the Moberly Monitor.)

(From the Moberly Monitor)
A special from st. Louis reads
as follows: "In an open letter to
Chairman Shannon Of the Demo-
cratic state committee today.
John Fl. Curran, former immi-
grafton commissioner of Missouri,
withdrew from the race for the
Democratic nomination for rail-
road and warehouse commissioner
and from the Democratic party.
AS his reason Curran states he is
and has been for some time a
Roosevelt man and expects to vote
Roosevelt for president and for
Governor Hadley for vice presi-
dent"
Curran has at last gotten where
he belongs. When ne was sup
posed to be acting as state immi-
grafton commissioner he was
nothing more or less than a
sycophantic Hadley puppet. In
all of the literature for the Mober-
| ly Show You Congress prepared
and sent out by Curran, the main
idea sought to be exploited was
that Hadley was the big chief.

been of vast benefit to the>. state,
was nothing but an advertising
scheme for the most slippery and
unscrupulous politician that has

Tariff Plunder.

Managers of railroads talk
about the injustice of the public
attitude towards railroads. They
say, for instance, that railroads
must pay more for material and
labor but are not allowed to raise
rates. But do they ever call at
tention to the fact that the sspro-
tective tariff" burdens them?
Because of the "protective tar
iff," the Steel trust and other iron
and steel manufacturers can and
do charge from S25 to S34 per ton
for steel rails, which, according to
the testimony of such expert man
ufacturers as Mr.. Carnegie and
Mr.. Schwab, can be and are rolled
at a cost of St2 per ton. Making a
liberal allowance for profits, etc.,
the railroads must therefore be
paying from $1O to $40 per ton
more for rails than they should
or would pay but for the tariff.
In round figures the railroads OF
the United States buy three and
one half million tons Of rails per
year, 50 that forsrails alone they
pay annually S45,O00,00O more
than they should. 1t is a conser-
vative estimate that, taking into
consideration the iron and steel
purchased by the railroads in the
shape ofcars, locomotives, wheels,
axles, trucks, trimmings, bridges,
structural material, ETC., they are
paying from S125,OOO,O0O to $50,
100000 annually as q bonus tc
steel manufacturers.
Ifit be asked why the railroads,
which are not benefited by the
tariff, put up with this extortion,
here Is the answer. Twenty. three

complete monopoly, it finds time
to compete with foreign nations
for steel trade outside of the
United States. Last year the
steel makers of this country sold
$3.50, 900, 900 worth of steel abroad
which proves conclusively that
American steel makers can make
steel as cheaply as anybody, and
that the tariff is simply a barrier
to enable the trust to gouge the
home home consumer.
And in the meantime, the Demo
cratic bill to lower the steel tariff
having passed the House, lies in
the Republican Senate, still un.
acted upon.

Ad Nauseam.

Clarence V. r. Rieheson, preach
er, has been "electrocuted." If
ever any victim OF the law ever
justified the law, that man did.
There have been crimes as de-
liberate, but none more so. He
did his deed in the dark, under
cover of affection and he did it
for money. y y The prea cher
seducer is infamous enough in all
conscience, but to add murder to
seduction is to bring criminality
to grand climax. Richeson's
case brings out the usual clamor
against capital punishment. =
Upon the whole, I should say,
| am against capital punishment
except in the case of murders by
poison and in other cases where
the malice and deliberation are
crassly evident. Also should be
in favor Of suppressing all such
religious CUFF as the papers print
ed anent the Kicheson execution.
The superabundance Of "dying
for Jesus sake" and "Jesus doeth
all things well' is simply sicken-
/
ing, and the twaddling statement
Of the officiating preacher was an
insult to intelligence-if readers Of
newspapers have any intelligence.
Indeed, the whole story of the
Richeson execution, as printed
Tuesday morning, was a maudlin
mess and promotive of wide-
spread disgust. If we are to have
executions, let them be conducte d

Washington Correspondence.
BY q. H. TAYENNER.

WASHINGTON, JUNE IA thous-
and millions year! This Is the
amount that the protected indus
tries wiring annually from the
American people, over and above
fair profit on money actually in
vested, according to an estimate
by U. S. Senator Hitchcock, of
Nebraska. Senator Hitchcock has
never been accused of making wild
statements.
II believe it is within reason to
say" said Senator Hitchcock, at
the conclusion of a speech he made
on the subject, "that a careful ex-
animation of the profits from all
classes Of privileged wealth in the
United States would reveal that
the protected industries of this
country exact from the people,
over and above 4 fair profit, APP
proximately a thousand millions
OF dollars a year. The fact that
these industries have monopoly,
granted them through our laws,
enables them to do this"
Senator Hitchcock's speech
fairly bristled with figures, taken
from the most reliable and authen-
tic sources, to back up each Of
his detailed statements.
The steel trust alone gets $500,
100000 annually in excess Of q
fair profit. This monopoly does
an annual business of three thous-
and millions, and it is admitted
that were there no tariff on steel,
that trust would have to sell Its
products for ten per cent less than
4 it now gets for them, and ten pei
cent of three thousand million is
three hundred millions. Thus il
is seen that every man, woman
and child Of the ninety two million
in this country pays an annual
tribute of $3.50 each to the steel
trust, over and above fair profit
and what they would have to pay
if there were no tariff on steel.
4 What is the effect of this extor-
tion? One effect has been to
create horde of mushroom mill
i Ilionaires in this country. Anoth-
J, er effect has been the gradual cen
tralization of the wealth of the
nation in the hands Of q few, with
corresponding intensity in the
struggle for existence among the
masses. Still another effect il
seen in the constantly increasing
number of strikes. Within the
last 25 years there have been 36,-
756 strikes In this country, most oi
them for higher wages. These
strikes have involved o total O.
100000 men, with wives anc
children, who were driven to hun.
ger and suffering.

The Delegate and the SIS Cot.

A certain amount of extortion on the
part of hotel keepers during National con-
ventions is conventional. The long-suf-
fering politician expects and discounts it.
The complaints which are now rising
upon the tortured air from visitors to
Baltimore who seek to arrange for accom-
modations for State delegations are not
the protests of callow sightseers who COM
plain of the inevitable. They are the out
givings of seasoned workers who recog-
nize the difference between ordinary pro-
tective tariff rates and robbery in the big
road.
To find So room transformed into So
or Sc room for the time of the convention
would surprise nobody; but to find that a
cot in So room which is to contain four
guests instead of one is priced at SIS per
night during the convention season is an
experience to set one musing of good Dick
Turpin and the robber barons of the
Rhine.

tortion, calmly rescind the action giving

Every person who participates in a

self to support, not merely the candidates
chosen in that primary, but the entire
democratic ticket. By support in this
case, is not meant passive attitude, a
failure to vote against any candidate on
the ticket, but vote for every candidate
named by the party.
For this reason, the American Press
seconds the motion of the Bossier Banner
that all this foolish talk about voting
against State Superintendent T. H. Harris
in the general election, of naming another
candidate by writing his name on the
ticket, or even of 'srebuking" him by re-
fusing to vote for him, be dropped. Mr.
Harris obtained his nomination regularly
even if by exercising painful diplomacy
and he is the democratic candidate; ano
vote against him is not a personal rebuke
to him; it is an act of disloyalty to the
party whose candidate he is. There is no
an objection to Mr.. Harris which did no
exist prior to January %, and those people
who felt so outraged over his conduct tina
they cannot vote for him had no right tt
participate in the primary.
The whole basis of party politics rest
upon the loyalty of the voters who hell
make the ticket to the candidates Domina

favorites may have been before the selec
tons were made No amount of sophistr,
