AL MORROW. “- W. A. “Al”? Morrow died at the Madison Hotel last Wednesday night as the result of a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. Morrow, at the time of his death, | ‘was connected with the State Treas- ury Department, and bore the unique ; distinction of having served as _confi- dential secretary to four. governors of the state, Stone, Stevens, Dockery and Folk. He possessed a large ac- quaintance throughout the state’ and many prominent men called ‘‘Al’’ Morrow, ‘friend, with pride.

But Chairman Stanley stands firm. for a continuation of the investiga- tion. “If,” says Mr. Stanley, ‘‘the Steel Corporation has not violated the law, then it will welcome this oppor- tunity to demonstrate its obedience to the law in advance of a litigation which will take years to determine, and if it has violated. the law it will use all its power and all its immense wealth to silence a committee which can neither be cajoled, deceived nor corrupted.”’ Speaker Clark Urges Harmony. “Get together and stay together.’’ This is the advice Speaker Champ Clark said he would give to the Dem- ocrats of every community in the for an instant.’ considerable length. united, we can win. |WASHINGTON LETTER, |the enemy would like to sidetrack that issue, but we must not permit it Mr. Clark had just arrived at the | Capitol City preparatory to opening the first regular session of the Sixty- Second Congress, and discussed the political situation optimistically and at “Looking back at the recent elec- tions,’’ said Mr. Clark, ‘‘they demon- strated two things: one, that the peo- ple endorse our tariff record without | ; o doubt; two, that whenever we are| have their headquarters in Wall) “After the Democrats in Congress have gotten together and made such a splendid record for solidarity it would be a shame and a calamity to lose in 1912 by reason of petty, fac- tional fights of a local nature. “T believe as firmly as that I must die someday that we can win in 1912, saving is in the estimates alone, and by the time the Appropriations com- mittee gets through with its pruning | work the probabilities are that the | saving will be still further increased, while the efficiency of the govern- ment business will not be decreased in the slightest degree.

In Philadelphia the funds, as soon as they are col- lected, are. being deposited in the Girard Trust company bank, and to the bankers who subscribed it was explained that ‘pressure would be Congress.” : How Long? How long must the people con- tinue to pay express companies a profit of 40 per cent a year on money that is not invested in the express business, and that exists in blue air only? é This is a question that the people are beginning to become impatient about, judging from the ever-increas- ing number of communications on this subject that are being received} by members of Congress. “Express companies ought to be permitted to make a good, liberal rate of interest on money actually invested,” writes an Iowa man to his Congressman, ‘The thing that arouses our disgust is that the gov- panies to extort a profit of from 25 to oe ees ragga tariff board half| two-thirds water.

It is known that the actual value of the express compa- nies’ equipment is less than one-half of what they allege, so that their profits on money actually invested run up to nearly 100 per cent. “Economy of Production.” Tainted news articles are bein sent out from Washington to the ef- fect that if the steel trust is forced to dissolve it will be too bad for the consumers, for they will henceforth be deprived of the ‘economy of pro- dutction” resulting from the one man management of the steel business of the country. The literature goes on to say that a great saving in_the cost of manufacture has been effected by the scientific _systemization of stteel by the trust. The fact is, however, that the pres- out prose of tin plate, wire and wire R ucts, are from 10 to 50 per cent igher than the prices that prevailed before the formation of the tin plate and wire trusts in 1 As a result of the “economy of production” which accompanied the birth of the ‘b wire trust, the price of that 5 article jumped from $1.80 per hundred junds, in 1898, .to $4.13 in 1899. je present price is $2.05, and the quality mnch inferior to that turned out before the trust was formed. 5 The steel rail pool has maintained the price of steel rails rigidly at $28 a ton every day since the steel corpora- ion was formed. Previously, steel rails were selling well below $20 a.ton. The rule has been that prices have desire answered, and ‘one that they | advanced rapidly when trusts were formed, If, as the steel trust litera- ture alleges, there were great ‘‘econ- The Interstate Commerce Commis- | composed of protectionists and near- protectionists, started out with the obvious determination of finding the tariff not guilty, and they intend to return such a verdict, even though | the political heavens fall. The Ruralist this week prints a pictnre of E. E. Laughlin and sons of this county in the act of taking a les- son in corn judging. The Ruralist says: During these evenings of corn study, Mr. Laughlin has himself acted as mentor. The value of his coaching and the drill at home may be inferred from the fact that all three of the boys have been winners in the state corn show at Sedalia. Paul was first in 1908 and 1910, winning $45; David was fourth in 1910 and first in 1911, winning $25, and Rutherford was third in 1911, winning $7.50, or a total of $77.50 for the the three boys.
