A Tribute of Love.
Once more grim death has folded
its arms around a noble life and spir
ited it away ’mid the shadows of the
night, leaving behind in many hearts
and aching void.
As son, brother and husband he was
loving and kind, as a friend noble and
true. Ho leaves to all that mourn
him tlie memory of a manly man.
Standing upon the theshold of life,
with bright hopes of future attain
ments, and looking hack along life's
pat away strewn with good deeds ana
love, twas then in that moment when
life was sweet to live that the angel
f death enfolded his manly form and
swirt on the wings of the night his
spirit soared into the great unknown
1 ne memory of ibis good man and
Gie recoliectio.il of his noble deeds will
live on in the hearts of his friends,
and though his voice we no longer
near still sweet consolation we find In
the that life was made
brighter by his living and even in
death we have left sweet nimorios.
Oh! death thou hast robbed us of a
useful life and stilled a voice we loved
to hear, hut bore Iny power ceases
lor the spirit lives and will live on
through all eternity. E. w. I).

RUBBER TARIFF
THE ABLE MISSOURI CONGRESS
MEN HANDLES MANY SUB
JECTS IN ABLE MANNER.
AN INTERESIING LEIIER
He Thnks the Republican Party is
Badly Split and Says Democrats
Have an Excellent Chance.
Washington, October 2J.—Several
yours ago. says Champ Clark, when
• l ••o trusts first ln\i*an Conning un.ior
iiit> favorable influence of a rob
ber tariff, I proposed to put on
Mu' tree list every article manu
faoturd by a trust. Recently ;
good deal lias been said on the subject,
.and the Republican party is badly di
vided against itself on the subject.
New eon es Roosevelt advocating a
constitutional amendment; says noth
ingl else will do any good. If there be
others who share that opinion, let
them rend this press dispatch:
Poena. 11l A stir something like that
ealist'd by tli' 1 handwriting on the wall at
Belshazzar's feast was created among (h
K .‘publicans in attendance at the conven
tion of the Republican State League of
Clubs here by the appearance of an Inno
cent pa la graph In the I’eorln Journal, tins
afternoon Republican daily. it occupied
the place of honor In the 'Vonv ntion ex
tra." first column, In si page, .md was in
troduced by a glaring enpi inn J! It b :
"Chicago.—The combination of tin-great
packing houses of the eountiy which has
l>een under consideration oil in i r.>< . s
of actual formation for the last Yix
months has lu-on abandoned, at least for
the present, says the Tribune The de
cision not to contemplate tlie combination
Is due, In a large degree, to the attitude
of the national administration toward
trusts ns outlined by I’resi-b ut Roosevelt
hi his recent speeches and to the possi
bility that in the event of a consolidation
congress might remove the tariff on cat
tle."
Tims tlit* bool' puckers give us con
firmation of our belief that a good
strong free list will tdci.it 1 out the
trusts. W hy. the mere fear of free
trade in entile prevents the consumma
tion of a gigantic trust! This should
effectuall.v squelch sill of Teddy's talk
about constitutional amendments in
the dim and distant future. A Demo
cratic congress is all that is needed
a body of legislators who will cut the
tariff off of glass, lumber, beef, every
thing that Is a necessity of life and
which Is controlled by a trust.
He Dotes on ’Em.
Congressman Caldorhend is not tear
ing his clothes in his anxiety to find a
remedy for the trusts in fact, he likes
them. He wants more trusts. Another
tiling lie takes a jab at organized la
bor. There are few union men In his
district. There are many more Repub
licans who would loudly indorse his
remarks on the subject but for the fact
that many of their constituents belong
to labor unions. Among the number is
Senator I'latt of Connecticut, who
emasculated the Chinese exclusion bill
when it was in conference in order that
it. might not prove effective against
Chinese labor coming into tlie couni ry.
Chinese cheap labor is the club that is
to be? used to bring the labor unions to
terms. Rut, going back to Congress
man Calderliead, read what lie thinks
of the trust's:
Topeka, Kan. In a remarkable political
speech W. A. CnlderlM*;id, Kc|tij|>lic;m con
gress iimn from the FI fill Konst:- district,
defended the trusts, which be hnr.ie.mr
izc-il as "godsends t* the country," and
denounced organized labor as "Die great
est menace tlie country ever had."
fils remarks have cruiser] much com
ment, as Mr. Calderliead is a prominent
member of Die committee on banks and
banking In the lower house and has been
regarded as conservative. lie said In
part:
"Why all this fuss about tlie trusts?
Speaker Henderson has resigned because
some Republicans Insist on tariff revision
as a panacea for the Imaginary ills which
the trusts are supposed to represent. Why
seek to remedy that which bus been a
blessing? I deny that trusts constitute
an evil. I contend that they have been
a godsend to the country. I have no
sympathy or patience with this fuss
about the trusts. I care not If it does
emanate largely within rny party. I con
sider It all political buncombe. Trusts are
the handmaids of progress In every chan
nel of business and every avenue of life?.
They have reduced the cost of living.
They have furnished employment for la
bor. They have promoted science and en
couraged invention. Instead of attempt
ing to remedy or ‘suppress' or ‘control'
or ‘disturb* that which we know is el
blessing we should turn our attention .to
that which is known to he an evil and
take a hand at suppressing organized la
bor. I regard organized labor as the
greatest menace this country has today.
Jt not only robs Its members of their lib
erty. but is a constant menace to the
lives and property of tlie whole people."
"A Solid Republican Column.”
It will be remembered by the renders
of these letters that In my speech at
Bangor, Me., before the Democratic
state convention June 17 I declared
that the Republicans are badly split
up and that for making that truthful
assertion the St Louis Globe-Democrat,

The factional fight In tho Republican
