WOODROW WILSON
Declared Money Trust a Monopoly
Menacing Welfare of Country.

Saturday night Governor Wood
row Wilson when in Chicago ad-
dressed four large meetings Of Dem
OcratS at which he discussed the
trusts, the money power, chastlsed
the ''interests,' praised foreign-born
citizens and denied he had ever
voted anything but the Democratic
ticket
He spoke first at South Chicago,
to gathering composed largely OF
POllsh-AmericanS, next at down
town theater and then on the south
west side, and last on the northwest
side.
when we speak of America,' said
Governor Wilson, Eve speak of not
a race, but people. After we have
enumerated the Irish Americans,
the German-AmericanS, the jewish
Americans and the POlish-Ameri-
cans, who will be left? Settlers and
the descendants of the settlers con
stltute a minority in America and
people of all the races of Europe a
majority. The term America is big
ger than the continent. America
lives in the heart of every man ev-
eryWhere who wishes to find a re
giOn somewhere where he will be
free to work out his destiny as he
chooses"
Governor Wilson paid tribute to
Pulaski, kOsciusko, John SObieski
and other Polish heroes, and then
the Governor said:
" lam not saying these things be-
cause | have been lied about, for
lies take care of themselves. | am
merely speaking real truths as every
man must speak who knows any
thing about Europe and its history"
At the downtown meeting Gov
ernor Wilson said, in speaking of
the money power of the country:
The plain fact is that the control
OF credit is dangerously concentrat-
ed IN this country. The money re-
sources of this country are not at
the command of those who do not
submit to the direction and domina-
ton of small groups of small capi-
talIsts, who wish to keep the eco
nomlc development of the country
under their own eye and guidance.
The great monopoly in this country
IS the money monopoly. So long as
this exists our old vanity and free
dom and individual energy of devel-
opment are out of the question"

DALLAS WOMAN
ATTACKED At HOME
Victim Puts Up a Plucky Fight
With Her Assailant.
LATTER FRIGHTENED OFF
veero Youth Arrested In a Short
Time Admits His Guilt, but Says
He Went to the Residenceslnseae
Only on Robbery.

In less than three hours after Joa:
Marshall, a young negro, had entered
the home of E M. Thomas, 47l0 Col
umbia avenue, Dallas, and made an
attack on Mrs Thomas he was arrest
ed bv two detectives after a lively
chase several blocks away. When ne
was taken to the city hall the negro
claimed that he had only entered the
house for the purpose of robbery and
with no intention of harmiug the lady
of the house.
Marshall's arrest was made upon a
description fornished by Mrs. Thom-
as and a negro girl employed by a
family next door. The negro girl saw
the negro man nun after making the
attack.
Neighbors who heard Mrs. Thomas
scream and saw her stagger into the
ward soon ran to her. A motorcycle
officer responded to the call and two
mounted officers soon arrived. Neigh
borhood was searched, but without
success.
The two detectives got on his trail
and as soon as they saw him they re-
cognized him. A horse and buggy
we're borrowed Marshall Jumped a
fence. One of the detectives got out
of the buggy, headed him off and ne
was taken into custody.
Mrs. Thomas was in her kitchen.
Hearing footsteps in another. room
she went to investigate. AS she did
so the negro grabbed her by her
throat He grasped her so firmly his
finger nails penetrated the flesh. After
choking the lady the intruder threw
her on the floor, stamped her in the
face and kicked her on a shoulder.
Mrs Thomas fought and struggled
with her assailant and screamed for
help. The negro fled. In her hand
the lady held knife she had been
cutting bread with. In the scuffie a
finger of the negro was cut and when
he was arrested the finger still
slightly bled. Marshall was jailed on

Discipline OF Children.

EVe-up-tO-date in Times-Demo-
crat: The little children of a house
hold should be taught to observe
rules and regulations just as the
Older people do, but there should be
ITO accession for sternness and sever
ltv in the management of the little
ones. Children are initiative beings
from the hour of their first con-
sciOusness, and a mother who can
not teach them good manners and
obedience without recourse to blows
and harshness should take lessons
from somebody who has made a
study OF child nature.
The word discipline really means
gentle daily molding and shaping,
and has in it nothing of austerity or
rnushness. 1t comes from the same
root rs the word disciple, in which
there is not a hint of anything but
love.

FATAL. TO BOTH.
fWo Prominent Contractors Are
Sh OF to Death In Duel.

In street duel at Beaumont. Tex.
M. A. Mcknight and. W. c. Whitney,
leading building contractors, killed
each other.
For long time the meu had been
at outs. Recently this i'll feeling was
aggravated through grand jury re-
port on some county work done by
one of the parties. They oficed in the
same bnilding.
Mcknight was sta ading at the street
entrance of this building when Whit
ney came down stairs. Mcknight
caught him by an arm, exclaiming:
Say, Whitney, I want to speak to
YOU" Whirling Whitney about rs
spoke" to him with his pistol, firing
several times, while Whitney seemed
to make futile efforts to draw his own
pistol, meanwhile running away from
his assailant After going short
distance Whitney fell in front OF the
American Natioual bank steps, but as
he fell to the ground he managed to
pull out his weapon and raising the
pistol fired once, then sank back.
Mcknight had followed Whitney
and evidently was preparing to shoot
Into his PROSTATE body when the latter
raised himself on an elbow and fired
from this position.
Mcknight dropped dead, being shot
through, near the heart. Whitney in
few minutes expired.
Both men leave widows; Mcknight
q family. Latter was about sixty years
old and the other man about forty,
Whitney was we'll known throughout
Texas, having built number of court
houses as we'll as other structures. He
was the successful bidder for several
schoolhouses in jefferson county, and
it is alleged the qnarrel resulted over
the failure of Mcknight to secure
some OF these contracts. A grand jury
report scored the school trustees in
several districts, although Whitney
was not mentioned. Latter believed
Mcknight aided in securing this grand
jury report and few days before the
tragic affair published his side of the
controversy in the Beaumont press.
