Tavenner. Washington, D. C.—That Morgan, Rockefeller and other trust magnates consider themselves too sacred to be prosecuted for violating the law has been known for some time. But that they consider themselves too sacred to even be investigated was not known until the Stanley in- vestigating committee was politely asked by the steel trust attorneys to please abandon its inquiry because o' the Wickersham suit to dissolve the trust Should this request be gratified it would mean that the Wickersham suit is a God send to the trust, inas- much as it sidetracks an honest and hing investigation of a monopoly tt Attorney General Wickersham himself claims to be illegal. That the trust fears a continuation of the in- vestigation by a committee that is not _ packed with special interest servers, more than it does a ‘‘suit to dissolve’’ conducted by an attorney general who was a former trust attorney, has been known for some time. _ | New York, is raising a fund of $150,- already has a bill prepared for the jabolition of the court, and he will ask his Democratic colleagues in the House to pass the measure.

Democrat From New Mexico. Although the regular or standpat Republican orginazation has carried a majority of members of the New Mexico legislature chosen three weeks ago, indications are that one Democrat and one progressive Re- publican will be elected Senators. Democrats Friendly to Labor. Legislation helpful to the cause of the workingman will be passed by the Sixty-second Congress. The la- bor leaders have assurances that the Democratic majority in the House will take up the subjects of employers’ liability, extension of the eight hour day in government work, restriction of the power of injunction, strength- ening of the safety appliances law, and prohibition of the so-called Taylor |system in govenment.

Result: St. Louis 28, Kansas City 24, ; St. Joseph 9, Centralia 10, Butler 29. | Congratulations, M. L. Andrews, Election Comr.”’ a This means that Butler won over| these competitors for the annual | meeting of the Missouri branch of the American Poultry Association. It took quick work to secure this. The/| matter -was brought up before the board Nov. 9 last, by the secretary at a meeting at which we were present. The board took the matter up and a plan was agreed upon and left to the| secretary tocarryout. The voting was to be done in a few days, by the rep- resentatives of the various poultry associations mailing their votes to the election commissioners, previously appointed for that purpose. It was quick action to get out circular letters to these parties, about 185 or 190 in number, get them off and solicit their vote for our city as the meeting place. The result speaks for itself. This| . meeting wili be held at the same time, January-2-5, when the State Poultry Show and Institute will be held here, which the Commercial Club secured for this city last spring. The Club has considered many things and success. It shows the benefit of or- ganized effort.

Joplin, Mo., Nov. 27.—After a few weeks’ work soliciting members and communicating with adjoining coun- ties, the executive committee of the Western Good Roads Association has announced the route of the proposed highway from Kansas City through Jasper county to the Arkansas state line. Almost as straight as a crow flies, the routing of the road indicates one of shortest routes between the point named in the itinerary. That the road will be constructed is certain. Members of the committee have visited every city, town and country village along the route through the counties included in the pike at every point they have met the greatest encouragement. At Kansas City and Joplin perhaps the greatest number of good roads enthu- siasts have been recruited, but all along the line there are energetic workers, anxious to aid in the move for a state pike. Throughout Jackson county good roads now exist. The same condi- tion is prevalent in Jasper and New- ton counties. Connecting links are practically all that is needed in the remainder of the counties and yet it bed these links that must be built ere the pike is of any value. The Western Missouri Good Roads Association was organized at a quail banquet in’ Joplin some weeks ago, but its start was made through com- munications between road enthusias- tics of Jackson and Jasper counties and it is to these two counties that the great brunt of the labor must fall. Half way between Kansas City and Joplin is a hunting club, whose mem- bers are residents of Joplin and Kan- sas City, and it was a suggestion from a member of this club, perhaps, that
