i POMS eaves: SAM COOK TELLS MORE OF “SOFT SNAP” REGIME A Striking Contrast Between Republican Robbery and Democratic Methods. Jefferson City, April 3.—The fol-| lowing chapter froni Secret State Cook's forthcoming political | hand book strikingly illustrates the | difference between the “soft snap” | conditions which prevailed during the six years the republicans ruled in Missouri and tie business-like meth ods which prevail under democratic management “Here is a brief chapter‘from the otticial records of Missouri which gives striking contrast between the businesslike methods which prevail under democratic rule and the soft snap reign which existed during the six veurs the republicans filled the ottices in Missouri. “Attention has been called to the fact that during the entire six years the republicans had control of Mis- souri they did not impose one dollar of taxes on the railroads, The in- ary of justice of this poliey wae all the more flagrant because taxes then were enormously high and the burden nabled the state to reduce taxation | on the property of the individual cit-| izen until to-day the tax rate for state purposes is only half what it was when the republicans misman- aged the affairs of the common- wealth | This chapter, beief as it is, forceful-| ly illustrates the rank favoriteism which prevailed during the republi- can n in Missouri, when corporate interest net only went untaxed, but when corporations were released from obligations they justly owed, and these burdens, aggregating over twenty millions of dollars, were fas- tened upon the people.” | | | A Lawyer's Mean Trick. Here is one of the stories told by Judge Shelton during a recent exe- ecutive session of the bar in Macon: “Some years ago Judge Hayden, of Howard county, brought a slander suit fora client, who, it turned out, didn’t have much of a case. There was considerable bad blood between the plaintiff and defendant, and the former had considerably magnified his alleyed grievance because of prej- udice, Judge Hayden was a master of invectives and his client had in- structed him to take the hide off of his antagonist if he got a chance, Mr. Leonard, another prominent lawyer of Central Missouri, appeared which individual property had tol foy the defendant. Well, by the closest bear was made doubly excessive by | sorateh Hayden got across all de- the rank favoritism shown corporate interests, murrers and to the jury. “Learned lawyer that he was, he “This favoritism was, not limited | gay there was no hope for his client, to the railroads alone, Other great corporate interesis were permitted to escape any part of the burdenso tax- ation, “Not one dollar reached the state treasury from the various state de- partments during the six years the s held control, In those republica days thef s of the secretary of state, in addition to his s alary, all went in- to the pockets of ‘Ceunt’ Rodman. The office earned $40,000 annually, “The same is true of the treasury department. The state's moneys were then used ox the personal per- quisites of the state treasurer, “The records tell the same story of The most the insurencedepartment searching igation ofthe records fail to > dollar reaching the trensury from any of these de- partinen sduring the entire period of republican control, “What are the conditions to-day? “Not only are tt: e railroads requir: ed to pay taxes on an assessment of over eighty millions of dollars, but Other ‘great corporate interests are made to bear a fair proportion of the state’s burdens “The insurance department now collects from: insurance companies in fees aiid fades aimtietly S885, OH), “Under republican rule not onedol- lar was paid into’ the state treasury by these great money-inaking cor- porations. “In addition to these large suns, a I com democratic attorney ger pelled the insurancecompanies which violated the anti-trust Jaw to pay into the state treasury in fines ina single year over $90,000, “Has any Missourian ever heard of any republican attorney general im posing a penalty on these tions, however openly or defiantly they have violated the laws of the state? “The interest on the state deposits amounted to over $38,000 Tast year and every dollar went to the credit of the people. The most vigilant and persistent expert accountant which could be se- cured within the ramifications of Wall street failed to trace a single dollar of “interest on deposits” to the treasury during the six years the republicans handled the public funds. The earning of the secretary of state last year amounted to $167,- 638.05, and every dollar was paid into the state treasury If the republican secretary of state, ‘Count’ Rodman, ever let go a single dollar of fees, the records at the state capital fail to disclose the rash act. Practically all of this large sum cume from corporations which almost wholly escaped taxation during the six years of republican rule, when in- dividual property bore the burdens ofa most profligate state govern- ment. The earnings of the insurance, treasury and state departments in fees, special taxes amd commissions under democratic methods amounted to more than halfa million dollars annually.

This revenue for corporations has ‘tended to say in reply, to get any damages, but he intended to do his best to make his client feel wood, anyway. Three hours were al- lowed to the side, and Hayden told the court he would attend to the di- vision of the time on his opening and Then he sailed into the defendant administer. ed one of the most terrific castiga- tions | ever heard since I knew what a court room \was It was superb in its: ingenious piti- closing speeches himeelf.

At last the entire three hours allotted were taken up and Leonard and his client’ were nearly ready to commit bloodshed. After a peroration that was abso- lutely appalling in its masterly vitu- perative intensity, Judge Hayden turned to the court, aud witha bland stile, said: ‘Your honor, the plain- till takes a non-suit.’ Leonard shout- ed, ‘Lobject! So anxious was he to get back at Hayden that he hardly appreciated the fact that his enemy had abandoned the field and spiked the defendant's oratorical guns. Of course the non-suit ended it, and made it manifest that Hayden had hung on the case merely for the pur- pose of administering an excoriation to the defendant. I have — often thought I would have given a great deal to have heard what Leonard in- T know one thing he would have been delighted to have satisfied my curiosity had he been permitted.” SCHOOL TEACHER ACQUITTED Edward McMonigle Declared Not Guilty of Murder by Platte Coun- ty Jury. Platte City, Mo:, April 8.—Edward A. MeMonigle, school teacher six miles east of here, was acquitted to- day on the second ballot of murder- ing W. R. Boone, a wealthy farmer. Boone and the teacher had had trou- ble because the farmer called the teacher to task for reprimanding Boone's boy, who had clipped tresses off girls in school. The quarrel grew serious and the trial showed that When McMonigle’s brother went to Boonville to adjust matters with him the farmer told him he was going to kill the teacher. Some time after that the farmer and the teacher met in Linkville, Platte county, and Me- Monigle dropped his man, being in fear of his own life. ; Most women with female weakness | suffer dreadfully in -addi tion to their other puius.
