INDICT R. R. MAGNATES
Federal Grand Jury Indicted Heads
of Famous Railroad for Trust
Tactics.

New York, Dec. 23.-Charles S.
Mellen, president of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad;
Edison j. Chamberlain, president of
the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada,
and Alfred w. Smithers, chairman of
the board of directors of the Grand
Trunk, were jointly indicted today
under the Sherman antitrust law by
a federal grand jury here They are
charged with conspiring to restrain
trade in connection with the memo
randa of agreement between the two
roads under which it is alleged the
Grand Trunk proposed to abandon
the extension of its railroad lines to
Providence, R. l., together with a
projected steamship line between
Providence and New York.
The penalty for the crime charged
is one year in Jail or $4,000 fine, or
both. Mellen and Chamberlain, upon
being notified of the indictment,
promised the federal authorities
through their counsel that they
would appear at l o'clock tomorrow
to enter pleas.
The indictment alleges that but for
the commission of the crime charged
the Grand Trunk system would have
actively competed with the New Ha-
ven system for the interstate and
foreign business between the New
England cities and the west. Seven
overt acts are set out in the indict-
ment.

Warm Weather Causes Famine.

Edmonton, Alta, Dec. 24.-Un-
usually high temperature is the prin-

of provisions at Grouard, town of
1000 population at the head of Les
ser Slave lake, $50 miles north of
Edmonton. George Harvey, man
ager for the Hudson's Bay Company
in that district, reported on arriving
here today that there is no snow and
the lake is not frozen, making
freighting an impossible task over
the government trails. He says the
people are living chiefly on game,
which is abundant in the district.
The stock of flour, bacon and other
provisions, laid in last winter, has
become exhausted. There is no suf-
fering. Freighters are in readiness
in Edmonton, Edison and Athabasca
to make trips to the north country
as soon as there is snow to cover the
roads.

A DEMOCRATIC OPPOR-
TUNITY.

Mr.. Democrat, what are you going
to do at the August primaries?
Were we to canvass the city or en-
tire state and put the question, Which
would you rather have-an admins
tration u on a business basis or one
run for political gain? to every voter,
we venture to assert that 80 out of
every 100 would answer in favor of
the business administration.
With such an overwhelming major.
lty In favor of the business admins
tration of affairs, the people ought
no. ordinarily fear the result of the
election; but, remember, this one man
out of every hundred who is in favor
OF a political administration is usually
a politician, and realizes how easily
the unorganized masses are led, and
how willing they are to follow any
mar with get-up enough in him to be
the leader.
We believe the Democratic oppor-
tunity to secure a business admins
tratlon lies in the selection of James
A. Houchin, a self-made, successful
business man, as their candidate for
the Governorship-and remember this
must be done at the Democratic pri-
maIies. November will give no oppor-
unity to correct the mistakes made
n August. Think it over.-Webster

MORE BUSINESS IN GOV
EMINENT.

Missouri has one candidate for gov
arncr this year, whose past career has
given him a familiar knowledge of all
the business affairs of the state, and
who proposes, if elected, to bring to
the administration of the state gov
eminent the business methods which
make large private concerns success
full; and if ever a state needed a wise
business administration Missouri does
now after her affairs have been made
subservient to the ambitions of the
two small minded men who have last
occupied the executive mansion and
the executive chair.
The man we refer to as being in
every way fitted to fill with dignity
and responsibility the office of Gov
ernor and to free the State from the
ruinous rule of mere politicians and
inaugurate a business administration
which would save large expenditures
and develop the State as
they have never been developed be-
fore is James A. Houchin.
He is the man for Governor. Labor
wants him, and every man in the State
who wants to get rid of the bicker-
ings of politicians and the %subordina-
ton of the business of the State to
the ambitions of small-minded politi-
clans should want him too. Houchin
is the man for the next Democratic
Governor of the State of Missouri.

since he announced his willingness
TO accept the nomination from the
Democratic party we have left no
stones unturned to find out all we
could concerning Mr.. Houchin's fit
ness to fill the highest office that we
as the people of the state have to
offer any one of our many good men.
We are at last thoroughly convinced
that Mr.. Houchin wants to be elected
for the purpose of being of service to
the people of the state that will be a
living monument in the lives of future
boys and girls of Missouri, and for
the reason that we believe Mr.. Houch-
in has in him this honest desire to be
of " service that will do the people of
the state good we feel interested in
him and as one citizen of Missouri,
for the reasons given, we want to see
him secure the votes at the primary
to sjve him the nomination, and from
time to time we will try to tell others
things about him that may lead them
to know him. Not because he is on
the Democratic ticket, but rather be-
cause he is what we believe an honest
man and one with the ability and
willingness to do all good.-Aurora

FOOL EN- ALL THE
TIME.

Professional politicians have fooled
all the old Missourians at times, and
have fooled some of them all the
time, but they don't fool all Of them
all the time. The last Democrat nomi-
mated for Governor of Missouri was
nominated through the strength of
politicians, and he was gloriously de-
feated by the plain old Missouri Dem
ocrats at the general election.
The working people have the great.
est strength when voting time rolls
round, and they are learning to use it.
We don't believe the thousands of
Democrats who voted for and elected
the Republican nominee of 1908 regret
the object lesson they gave the poll
t1cians of their own party. If the
politicians nominate a politician this
year we believe he will suffer the
same fate as the 1908 nominee.
This is one place where Houchin
shines. He is not a politician. He is
a sound, progressive, energetic, sub
stantial, vigorous and practical bust
mar of unlimited executive abil.
pleasing contrast to the tyran-
izing politicians. He has gained a
position at the top of the business
world, not at the hands of politicians,
but by his W ceaseless labors

affairs of state.

FOR GOVERNOR.
THE MAN.

The Houchin-for Governor move
ment has 10y reached all parts of the
stale, and that he will be nominated
in August and elected in the ides of
next November with a big majority is
a foregone conclusion. Missouri needs
a business man in the gubernatorial
chair that does things, rather than a
blind partisan. He has made an ideal
campaign. free from mud-slinging, as
so often is the case, and enters the
closing days of the campaign full of
hope and promise of the future. The
so-called political ring ignored him at
the start, but they admit at the pres
ent time that they have an adversary
in Mr.. Houchin that is meeting them
right in the middle of the road in the
political game by his square way of
playing the game. He is the logical
candidate for the office of Governor
and should be elected.-Seneca Dis

TWEEN THE LINES,

Missouri wants a Governor who will
set her forward in the rank of States,
more than she wants any particular
mar in any particular office. The
ninety and nine do not care who holds
the offices if the great possibilities of
the State are being developed and the
State is moving forward in prosperity
instead of backwards. 1t is the future
in which the present generation is in
terested. The man who not only can
causc two ears of corn and two blades
of grass to grow where one grew be-
fore, but al also cause two factories
to start, two mines to open and two
families to come to Missouri, is the
man the public wants. The man who
can accomplish this is the man for
Governor.-Moberly Democrat.
