FITTING CLIMAX TO HIS WESTERN TOUR

Wm. H. Taft Greets SixtyThousand People in St. Louis. HOW TO DEAL WITH TRUSTS WHEN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO MONOPOLIZE BUSINESS AND CONTROL PRICES, EVIL MUST BE CRUSHED OUT, HE SAYS. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 7. With a twelve hour demonstration of cordiality, political enthusiasm, and intense interest, this city Tuesday furnished an appropriate climax to the western campaign trip of William H. Taft. The candidate spoke to an immense aud ience In the Coliseum. He followed this with an open air address at Clayton, a suburb, and then rushed to East St. Louis, where he addressed a large gathering. Fully 60,000 strangers came to the city to see the Ohioan. The line of march from the station to the Planters' hotel was through two crowds of people who blocked either side of the sidewalk and the street. Mr. Taft was compelled to stand with his hat In his hand the entire distance of two miles, acknowledging salutations. Trust Control His Theme. Mr. Taft was escorted to the Coli seum. The speech he delivered there was Comprehensive, but the position of the candidate on the question of trust regulation was made the import ant feature. "How about labor unions?" he was asked. "I have done more for union labor than Mr. Gompers," was the quick retort, and then Mr. Taft explained that the decisions he had rendered as a judge on the bench, and which were now being misrepresented as placing him against unionism, were really being used at present in the courts by union labor as the basis of their rights. Another interruption was a query about campaign contributions. The reply was that so far as he knew no contributions had yet been made that would have the slightest tendency to embarrass any one. "Any gentleman here who desires to make a contribution to a good cause," he added, "may regard this as the time and place." The trusts and how best to deal with them were emphasized by Mr. Taft in the speech. He made it clear that he was not opposed to the aggregation of capital for the purpose of effecting economies. Such aggregations, he said, "are to be commended rather than condemned. It is not inconsistent with competition and is an aid to our material progress." "When, however," he continued, "it is accompanied with an attempt to monopolize business ' and to control prices, it then becomes illegal and the evil must be stamped out. This should be done by greater supervision of the business of such corporations, by federal control through the department of commerce and labor, by a series of reports each month, by constant examination by government agents, and by immediate and persistent prosecution of all violations of law. Tells Plans for Future. -rv, inaction of the next administration," he added, "is not to be spectacular in the enactment of great sta-itt-s laying dowii new codes of morals, or asserting a new standard of business integrity, but its work lies in the details of furnishing men and machinery to aid the hand or the executive in making the supervision of the transactions so close, so careful, so constant, that the business men engaged in it may know promptly when they are transgressing the line of lawful business limitations, and may be brought up standing whenever this occurs, and may be prosecuted where the violations of law are flagrant and defiant and promptly restrained and penalized." WOMAN DRIVES HORSE TO DEATH Animal Dies on Its ReturnArrest May Be Made. Complaint was made by Herbert Green, the liveryman, to the police today that he had hired a horse and rig to a colored woman yesterday and the animal was abused. Green claims when he hired out the outfit it was to be returned to the barn between 1 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but it did not come back until between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening. About ten minutes after the horse arrived in the stables it sank to the floor and died. Green claims death was the result of over exertion and that the driver was responsible- An arrest probably will be made In the matter.

I will make thee ruler over many things, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.' "Resolved, That in the death of Professor Hodgin. his family has lost a tender and affectionate father and brother, the faculty and student body of Earlham college a most efficient and capable professor, and a wise and safe counselor, the community of friends a very earnest, faithful and devoted member, the city of Richmond and the state of Indiana a citizen who devoted himself to the highest welfare of his fellow men, giving much time and la bor for the uplift of humanity and for good citizenship. "Resolved, That we extend to his be loved daughters and family, to the two brothers and the sisters who survive him, and to Earlham college, our deepest sympathy in their loss and bereave ment, pointing them to the source of all comfort and consolation, being as sured that earth has no sorrow, that heaven cannot heal. "Resolved, That a copy of these res olutlons be furnished the bereaved fam ily, and the press. "Respectfully submitted, "C. HUBER, "ADDISON PARKER, S. R. LYONS, "Committee."

HO APOLOGIES SAYS FRANK B. KELLOGG

His Professional Career Not As the Democrats Picture It. NOT STANDARD ATTORNEY. NEITHER HAS HE EXACTED AS A LOBBYIST FOR ANYBODY TOO BUSY TO KEEP TRACK OF ALL CHARGES HE SAYS. Chicago. 111.. Oct. 7. "I have no apologies to make for my professional career. I am confident the American people are iiot interested in my law practice. I take It they are interested in the great economic and political questions now before the public and that this election will be settled on those issues." Frank B. Kellogg, Republican na tional committeeman from Minnesota and Bpecial attorney for the government in the Standard Oil case and 'trust busting" proceedings, made the foregoing a part of his answer to charges against him issued from Demo cratic national headquarters. He was called a "lobbyist for the steel trust, the beef trust, the sleeping car trust, the express companies, and the railroad companies." "He is also reputed as counsel for the Standard Oil company in Minnesota," said the charges, which profess to rest largely upon the word of George S. Loftus, of St. Paul. Accuser a Defeated Rival. Mr. Kellogg, being in Chicago, gave out an answer to this latest Democratic echo of the Haskell affair, saying that he supposed his turn had been reached in the general campaign of personali ties. His answer follows: 'I have seen the statement made by George S. Loftus of St. Paul, and purporting to come from the Democratic national committee. It is full of erron eous statements and insinuations. The people of Minnesota know Mr. Loftus and know me. I have practiced law there thirty years, and, with a full knowledge of my professional and bus iness connections, and in opposition to Mr. Loftus, they elected me delegate to the Republican national convention in liXM, and member of the national committee, and re-elected me to head the Minnesota delegation at the national convention of 1908, and also re-elected me to the national committee. "I am not holding public office, nor seeking it, and as a practicing lawyer It is not my privilege but my duty to take cases, as only I have done, for large corporations and small ones, for rich me.i and poor men. I consider it an honor that I have been thus employed, as also I consider it the greatest professional honor that I represented the government in the paper trust case, and now represent the government in the case against the Standard Oil company, now being tried; in the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific case, and in the suit against Mr. Harriman. I leave It to the people of this country whether I have performed my duty or not. He Never Has Been Oil Lawyer. "Mr. Loftus and the democratic national committee have included in their statement some corporations which I never represented, and have omitted many which I have represented. If it will give them any satisfaction I will try and furnish them an ac curate list. iseitner i nor my firm have ever been attorney for the Standard Oil company in Minnesota or any other place. "Neither I nor any member of my firm have ever appeared for or been attorney or lobbyist for the Pullman company, the so-called Sleeping Car Trust to which they refer. "I did not come 'fresh from the pres tlge of victory over the Standard Oil company before Judge Landis in Chi cago to take the generalship of the steel trust forces in Its battle for the destruction of labor unionism on the iron range." I had nothing to do with the trial before Judge Landis; and did not take charge of the strike referred to. Lobbyist for No Company. "I have never been a lobbyist for anybody and am not now. I have made arguments before courts, railway commissions, and occasionally before legislative committees of Minnesota, as all attorneys properly do. "I am too busily engaged in trying the anti-trust case against the Standard Oil company to keep track of all the charges and countercharges of this kind." National Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock Is expected to come to Chicago headquarters today and to remain here until the end of the week. FIFTEEN HUNDRED ODD FELLOWS PARADE i Inaugurated Indiana State Conference. Marion.

MUST LEAVE CITY Court Orders Earl Huntington Not to Return Until Spring.

HE ASKS GRANT OF FAVOR. Upon his promise to leave the city j by 1 o'clock and remain away until j next spring. Earl Huntington was permitted to go on suspended sentence in city court this morning, after a fine of $1 and costs had been assessed against him. Huntington asked the court to grant the favor. He was arrested last night and charged with public intoxication. It was the first time since Oct. .n. l'.nts. that this charge was placed against Huntington. Huntington has been In all kinds of trouble and only a few weeks ago completed the logest jail sentence that has been served in this county for many years. The arrest last night was the second since his release. He was held In jail a few days on the last occasion, but no case was made against him. owing to lack of evidence and the charac ter of the witness appearing against him. POWDER ON PEANUTS IS MADE USEFUL Used to Make Goobers Look Clean and Pretty. There la not much to a peanut, to look at It It grows on a farm and is ready to eat after it has been roasted. A careless deduction would link up the farmer, the commission merchant, then the grocer or Michelangelo. That wouTo be a mighty carelees deduction, though. The first time a lot of unroasted peanuts are encountered rub one on a piece of dark cloth and observe the wbtte mark It leaves. That is talcum powder. They powder peanuts to make them look pretty, which is just why sister powders her face, and in that particular peanuts and girls are both alike. Any farmer can grow peanuts, but no farmer can sell them to the con sumer. The peanut he grows Is not fit to put on a stand, at least not until It has been touched up. Look at the pea nuts on the next push cart and see how even they run as to size. They have all been sorted. Observe how clean they are and bow white this lot Is, how gray that lot Is and how uni form all the different lots are. They have- been sorted. When the peanut is grown It is gath ered and carried to a miller, who puts It in a great bin and later carries It over to his mill, where he has a con trivance Just chock full of brushes These brushes get almost every fleck of sand and dirt out of the peanuts, which is more than the farmer could have done if he had spent the summer trying. Then the brushed peanuts go on to another sort of mill, and by being tossed about they get their halls polished, and while that is being done they are peppered with talcum powder. so that by the time they come out of this machine they are as white as they are to appear In public. But the peanut is not ready for mar ket yet. It Is alongside a lot of larger or smaller ones, hurting the appear ance of the larger ones, while It does not enhance the value of the smaller ones. To even up matters the output of the talcum powder polishing ma chine is run out on to a great canvas belt, which travels for fifty feet or more slowly. On either side of this belt are boys and girls. These sort the peanuts as they pass; this squad pick lng out the biggest that squad taking the next largest, and so on down till the smallest are left Shells that have dodged the powder rag are thrown back Into the mill, and broken hulls are thrown away. That is about all for the peanut now, excepting the roasting. It has to be roasted. There is a popular supersti tion that the Italian vender roasts the peanuts In bis little push cart All he does is keep them hot They are roast ed at the mill, tons at a time, cooked to a nicety by experienced men, who have thermometers and all sorts of appliances to show them when a pea nnt is "done." This roasted product Is the one that the Italian buys, and when he gets it he pops It Into his lit tie fake roaster and. warms it over. It takes a long time and a lot of work and hosts of boys and girls to get the nickel's worth of hot roasted peanuts in the red and blue striped bag, but there Is a reason for it all, and the reason is that a sack of even run small sized peanuts. wUl find a buyer quick er than a sack of big and little ones all mixed up together. The stomach likes the eye to make a good report and the peanut commission merchant understands that a shining shell, with Indentations filled with talcum, please the eyes, and he has no compunctions about the powder box. because he has found out that in roasting the heat drives off the surplus talcum, so that is why if one wants to find out for true about this trick of the trade It will be necessary to get hold of an unroasted and not a roasted peanut By way of good measure It might be added that the shelled peanuts, gener ally sold salted, have been run through a thrashing machine, which breaks the hull and blows It out of the way. Only "Spanish shell" nuts can be so treated. The tougher hulls nave to go to SIgnor Itallano. Kansas City Journal. An Englishman named Shelford while traveling In Sumatra heard from the natives of the existence of flying snakes. He found that there actually were snch reptiles and that they had an anatomical peculiarity which enabled them to descend safely from high trcca tatLa ground or Hater

Oct ".Hundreds of dele-l gates are attending the third annual; convention of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf i Deep Waterway association, which opened at the Auditorium theater at 10 o'clock this morning. James J. Hill, the railroad chief, has: sent an address to be read Thursday) on "The Future of River and Rallj Transportation." He was asked to be a j speaker, but previous engagements prevented this.

Two hundred and fifty governor. United States senators and congressmen have accepted invitations to the. convention. Men of influence from all along the proposed deep waterway,( which is to connect the gulf and the great lakes, are attending. It will be a notable gathering, probably without precedent in Chicago.

Nomination ef the Merchant For -.! rotary of the Treasury. It was not unnatural that in the ab solute absence of -political experience, President Grant should not only have had much to learn concerning the na ture and conduct of civil government. but that he should also have had much' to unlearn of the mental habits and the ways of thinking be had acquire! In the exercise of large Indeed, almost unlimited military command. This was strikingly Illustrated by some remarkable Incidents. As usual, the nominations made by the president for cabinet offices wero promptly ratified by the senate with out being referred to any committee. But after this bad been done It was remembered and reported to President Grant that one of the nominees sot confirmed, A. T.

The next morning, March 6, I had occasion to call upon President Grant for the purpose of presenting to him a congratulatory, message from certain citizens of St. Louis. I found him alone .engaged in writing something on a half sheet of note paper. "Mr. President" I aid, "I see you are busy, and I do not wish) to Interrupt yon. 1 My business can wait" "Never mind." he answered, "I am only 'writing a message to the senate" My business was quickly dis posed of, and I withdrew. r . - In the course of that day's session ofl tbe senate a message from the pres!-, dent was brought In in which, after; 1 quoting the statute of Sept Z 1780.) the president asked that Mr. Stewart: be exempted by joist resolution of the) two houses of congress from the operation of the law which stood in Mr. Stewart's way. There were some signs ' of surprise among senators when the message was read, and Mr. Sherman at once asked unanimous consent to Introduce a bill la accordance with the president's wish. But Mr. Sumner by jected to the Immediate considers tien thereof because of Its great Importance? This stopped farther proceedings, anf ( tbe bOl was laid on the. table, never to be heard of again.
