Attorney #. s. Howell. opened the ar
gument for the prosecution at $3.50 o'clock

special efforts to prove that Del Smith.
the confessed accomplice. had told the
truth regarding sammons' alleged part In
the robbery.
Ex-senator Norris Brown. who formerly
lived at Kearney and has known both
sammons and Del Smith since they were
boys, opened the defense argument. He
scoffed the idea that Il both Summons and
Smith had been honest and Trustworthy
before the robbery. as proved, they
would both fall under tho same tempta-
ton az the same time. Senator Brown
closed his talk at noon.
Tears came to the eyes OF the accused

ANOTHER OLD RESIDENT
DIED THIS FORENOON
John McNeff, Born In ireland, and a
Resident Of keokuk for
Thirty Years.

John McNeff, another of the old
residents of the city, died at local
hospital at 11:15 o'clock this morn
ing, the cause of his death being at
tributed to the infirmities Of old age.
Mr.. McNeff was born in Ireland in
1896. and when quite young man
came to this country. He located at
Peoria where he resided for a time,
and about thirty years ago came to
Keokuk where he had since resided.
Four children were born to the fam
lily, all of whom are dead. His wife
died about five months ago, leaving
him in declining health, and since
then he has made his home at the
hospital where he died.
He is survived by two brothers,
Lawrence McNeff OF Keokuk and Dan.
Tel McNeff of La Harpe, Ill. He was
faithful member of st. Peters
Catholic church, faithful in the dis
charge OF his duties and is said to
have been very devout christian
man. He had many friends and &C
quaintances in the city who will be
grieved to hear OF the death of their
faithful old friend and interesting
companion, who was always true,
genial and agreeable. His friends
were many, as he was kind and GER
teous to everybody.

An UnfulfIIed Promise.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Do readers
of the Hawk-Eye recall to mind the
democratic ciaims on the stump and
in party platforms that the trusts
could be killed by putting trust-made
hoods on the free list? That was a
great slogan few years ago. Just
put the democrats in power and they
would show the country how to solve
the trust problem.
Nearly two years of democratic OPP.
portunity have passed but no attempt
has been made by President Wilson
and his congress to put the democratic
theory in practice. Instead, the adj
ministration is seeking to break up
trusts and monopolies by the enforce.
ment Of the Sherman law, the product
of republican administration and leg
islation. And following out that line
of policy the democratic congress has
enacted still more sweeping and
stringent legislation against trusts,
but not a voice is raised in behalf OF
the one-time popular proposition to
nut protested products on the free list.
This is only another Of the several
platform pledges of that party that
have been ignored after the party at
tanned to power.
OF course, there was no merit in the
propositions. The trusts were not the
creatures, of the protective tariff.
Many of the imported articles adj
nitted under the present tariff are
made by foreign trusts, yet the demo
cratic policy welcomes them at our
ports and admits them free. The for
eign manufacturers pay no taxes to
the support of our government, but
our home manufacturers are discrim-
mated against in favor of the foreign,
besides paying the corporation, the in
come and war taxes. The American
people are not going to tolerate such
a gross discrimination against them
selves.
