That Mgbl.
This k County Attorney English will
Me a complaint In district court charging
t'imi leg B. Davis with the murder ot Dr.
Frderick T. Ruslln.
As the state la proceeding on the theory
t.'at Davis entered a suicide compact with
Ruatin and that Rustln waa killed btit
Davis (ailed to kill hlmaslf. the charge
will probably be first degree murder, which
ia the usual iharge brought against one
ly of a suicide compact when the death
of the other party la accomplished.
Davie was held to the district court on
a bond of H0,H) by Police Judge Bryce
Cn-wford late Tuesday evening after a
hearing lasting four days and arguments
by attorneys, which took another day.
While awaiting trial Davis, will be kept
under constant guard by his brothers, who
he had a guard with niin since the cor
oner's Jury returned a verdict asking that
Davis' relations with Dr. Rustln l In
vestigated. This "companion" will be with
the man constantly and they will atay at
thn homes of relatives, wherever it Is most
agreeable for Davia.
' If the esse Is put off for several months,
It Is asld Davis will not be contented to re
main 1n Omaha and will be allowed by his
family to go with his "companion" to
some winter resort where he will be con
tented and hie physical condition fmproved
Otherwise he will remain In Omaha.
Woman Appeals to tlond.
Mrs. Ahble Rice nss not .'urnlshed the
tl.000 bond which the court required her to
furnish to Insure her appearance as a
witness, fihe said that she has telegraphed
her father, Andrew Clary, of Des Molncs.
and that he would furnish her bonds. She
had nothing to say as to her plans when
she Is at liberty. Matron Gibbons pays
the girl In her charge the compliment of
being far above the women of her class,
well behaved, devoid of unladylike actions,
clean In her conversation and In her
talks with the matron, as frank as any girl
of her years or one younger.
It was learned Wednesday that besides
the officers of the police department work
ing on the ease, the Davis family has had
several special detectives working to clear
up m-st-rirs which are mysterious to the
family of the man charged with the mur
der, as well as wf . the public.
Ttnutin ( Bnrk Down Town.
"We have found that Dr., Frederick T.
Rustin was down In the city after he went
to his home the night of September 1. We
have tills' c'eai ly established." -eald a near
relative of Davis. "But how he got down
to the etiy we have been unable to lenrn,
and our detectives are In the dark about It.
"fiint somewhere there Is a hack driver
wb.o kpuws something about this case we
have no doubt, hut we cannot locate the
driver. Every one who has carriages and
employs . drivers has apparently Instructed
the drivers to keep their mouths shut, and
no amount of effort has sj far been of
uvail in locating the driver who must have,
driven Dr. Rnstin to Omaha or taker, him
back to or near his home. But wo will
continue our efforts."
Rumors that the case will now be taken
before the grand Jury when It meetj Oc
tober 5, are denied by the county attorney's
office. It la said there Is no occasion for
such action, - -whatever, but It Is possible
that ltad Devls been dismissed by the police
Judge, his case would have been' taken be
fore the grand Jury or brought there at the
request of- the Jury.

PALLfl riTY. Neb. fi-pt. r.-To the
Editor of The Bee: "Guaranteed sll wool
and a yard wide." said the dishonest mer
chant, and the customer asked "who guar
antees?" "I'ncle Sam," said the merchant,
and In a few month when tho farmer
found his "all wool" pants half cotton, he
compelled every honest merchant to make
good the dishonest sale. "Tour policy Is
guaranteed by the government." said the
peeulatlve insurance agent, and when the
company failed every honest Insurance
company was taxed to pay the policy of the
victim. Deposits In the reckless bank
guaranteed? Ditto snd ditto. And every
honest banker, In humllation. Is forced to
put tip his premium on bis competitors' dis
honesty. And this is Bryan's latest scheme to
catch the simple voter. Guarantee deposits
and you will multiply the deposits snd ere.
ste an enormous surplus In the banks and
bring forth hidden treasures. Yea. even
emptying every old "sock depository" in
the land, says the wily politician. Now
what great benefit Is there in a large bank
surplus? Of course it beats a democratic
deficit. But there is great danger In a large
surplus In creating a desire for reckless
Investments. For Instsnce, is It not better
to spply some of this extra surplus to our
home Improvements? Farmer Jones has
150 surplus. The banker guarantees the de
posit and he helps pile up In the bank a
great fund. But Jones' 'machinery Is rot
ting for wsnt of sheds: bis fences are
dilapidated buildings need paint; roads are
miserable; his children need education. Is
It not better for Jones and the country to
Invest some cash where It will do most
good, than to help create a safe surplus?
Mr. Hitchcock In his Lincoln Bankers'
association speech last week, asked why
he of sound body should not help pay the
policy of the consumptive, who is insured
In the same company. But as a business
man how would Mr. Hitchcock like to In
sure in a company that took consumptives
as risks? Or to revert to the text: Whv
j should a healthy banker be compelled to
put up for a diseased brother banker? No
healthy Insurance company Insures con
sumptives. He also quotes the Oklahoma
law as sufficiently enticing as to compel
the Kansas governor to call an extra ses
sion to pass a similar law. But bs falls
to say that after the members got busy,
and wiser counsels prevailed, they failed
to pass the Oklahoma-Bryan law. The re
publicans of Kansas, however, have In
corporated a mutual guaranty plank In
their platform in harmony with Taft's
idea.
But the proposition sprung tip In a night,
like tho mushroom looks tempting at first
glance, and like the toadstool, has within
It the germs of death, so had free trade,
free sliver and free soup. The principle
Is wrong in theory and dangerous in prac
tice. A magnificent scheme to catch voles
on the spur of the moment.
Ah, "my friend," when the office-seeking
demagogue spies your prosperous condition
ond ssks you to vote for a scheme to com
pel honesty to help stamp g, dishonest deal,
Just wisely hesitate. Turn from It., Pass
not by it. "For verily, I say unto you,

Comparison. '.
OMAHA, Sept. .-Ta,ti Editor of The
Bee; Jt I generally .-ajjraittod sad - uni
versally conceded that President Roosevelt
had Injected life and put "ginger" in the
present national campaign, but the presi
dent not only put "glng-er," but also took
the "ginger" out of Mr. Bryan.
Compare Mr. Bryan's first letter to Mr.
Roosevelt, a letter full of defiance, chal
lenge and daring, with his second reply
to Roosevelt's first answer. The crushing
blow from the "big stick" knocked Gov
ernor Haskell clear out of the field, and
also staggered Mr. Bryan to such an er
tent that all the "ginger" and defiance are
crushed snd evaporated. Compare Mr.
Bryan's second letter with his first and you
will come to that conclusion.
Haskell's coquetry and clandestine af
filiation with the obnoxious monopolies and
corporations his double dealing with tho
laborers, and the establishment of the fact
beyond any doubt that he was the prime
mover and instigator of the organization
of the "Business Men's Alliance" in Akla
hoina against the Interests of organized
labor all of which led to his spectacular
ejectment from the counsels of democracy
lias taken the "starch" out of Mr. Bryan.
That Mr. Bryan knew all the, rascalities
of Mr. Haskell when he was made chair
man of the resolution committee In Denver
and treasurer of the national committee at
Mr. Bryan's Instigation, is conclusively
prpven by the editor of an Oklahoma demo
cratic paper, who brought up the charges
against the governor in a ten-sheet type
written statement, and presented them to
Mr. Bryan on one of his sojournlngs with
the democratic presidential candidate on
the train, but which Mr. Bryan tore up
and threw out of the window not even
extending the courtesy to the editor ot
reading them.
All these proven facts, coupled with
others ot no leases magnitude, were a
crushing blow to Mr. Bryan when they
were explained and made public, and no
wonder that his second reply to Roosevelt
lacks the proud spirit of defiance and
challenge and shows dejection and humilia
tion. And now Mr. Bryan resorts to new tac
tics. He blows his own horn; he proclaims
his superiority to Roosevelt, Taft and the
rest of the living.
It is very laudable for a man to have
an exalted opinion of himself, but It Is nut
In keeping with dignity and self-respect
for any man to herald his superior qualities
from tj'.e housetops. Lt others do it. YouJ
Know the old uerman proverb, "Selbst Lou
Stinks" "Self-Praise stinks."
We are eagerly awaiting President Roose
velt's snswer to Mr. Bryan's last letter, the
"starch" and "ginger" taken out of Mr.
Bryan In bis first reply, the second one
will squeeze the very "Juice" out of him.
Beware of the "big stick."
E. IIOLOVTCIMNER.
P. S. The expected "crusher" of Presi
dent Roosevelt to Mr. Bryan appeared In
due time, and I guesa It will hold him
for a while. The president again wielded
his "big stick" with his usual dexterity
and effectiveness. He took advantage of
every opening, which were many. Mr.
Roosevelt has conclusive shown snd
proven that as debater and even writer,
Mr. Bryan Is not lu his class.

Prohibiting all "cappers" from frequent
ing auction sales, providing against the
sale of watches or any Jewelry by uuctlon,
and specifying that all 'gold plate fold at
auction must test at least twelve karats,
Councilman Harry B. Zlmman, In an 'ordi
nance introduced in the council meeting
last night, took the first steps toward
guarding the patrons ot auction sales In
Omaha.
At present the auctioneer can sell any
thing he wauls to and If the goods sold
are not what they are claimed to be the
purchaser has no redress. Also, the auc
tioneer has men in his employ who bid
articles up or buy them . In if the price
does not go high enough. This condition
of affairs Mr. Zlmman seeks to remedy In
his new provision. Tho ordinance provides
for a bond In the sum of $l,0UO and specifies
that the permit shall not be transferable.
The ordinance passed the first two read
ings and was referred to the committee
of the whole.
Thomas' Patrol District Plan.
A potition proposing a pntrol district for
saloons was submitted by Elmer E.
Thomas as president and Harry A. Stone
as secretary of the Anti-Saloon league, and
it was placed on file to be calleO. up at
any time its authors may desire. Zlmman
moved to place it on file without reading
and Elsasser demanded a roll call. This
resulted In 11 to 0 In favor of Zlmman.

A Dangerous
The only trust having the impudence to
openly assert that It is going to elect its
own trust representatives to public office is
the Labor Trust.
The election therefore will determine
whether the Common Citizens retain con
trol of public affairs, or allow the Labor
Trust magnates to govern .
The common man loses his liberty when
he and his fellow citizens allow any organ
ization or trust to get control, for each
trust whether of labor or capital Is in bus
iness to gather every dollar possible and
divide up umong the members (if the man
agers leave any).
And where do they gather all this extra
money?
The Meat, Steel, Oil and other Capital
trusts raise the rrlce of their products.
The Eabor Trust does the same thing by
boosting the price of the plumber, meat
chopper, ironworker, ' shoemaker, baker,
etc., etc., and by fining them for breaking
rules and also fining employers.
The particular shoemakers, bakers, etc.,
etc., who happen to be members of the
Labor Trust may not get much extra
money out of It, but the Trust Managers
seem to handle heavy sums.
Now to get back to tho question, where
docs all this money como from, this extra
money both labor and capital trusts are
striving for. There is only one place for
them to get It. my friends, and that Is
from the pocket of the common citizen
not a member of any trust. He Is the long
suffering workman who pays to add extra
dollars to the earnings of both Labor and
Capital Trusts.
We all admit that both trusts are right
enough in trying to earn all they can, but
the citizens they are feeding on. absolutely
must keep awake and protect themselves
at the polls ad before the courts or tho
trust members get fatter and the common
cltlzena thinner. The non-trust citizens are
heavily In the majority and protect them
selves easily when roused, but they often
allow designing men to manipulate poli
ticians and laws until the common people
are helpless.
Why do you speak of the "Labor
Trusts?" someone asks.
It has been clearly defined as a trust In
the fullest sense of the word by the best
lawyers In America, Including Clarence
Darrow, the attorney for the American
Federation of Labor, ami by the I'nlted
States Supreme Court Itself.
You see all trusts are formed to accom
plish certain things.
Control production. Control prices.
Control members of the trust.
Get the highest price the public will
stand.
The Meat trust controls and sells meat,
the Labor Trust controls and sells labor,
both feed off the public, and It is perfectly
safe to assume thut the managers of either
or any trust will "soak" the citizens fur
every dollar they ran get, only limited by
the amount oC iower the people will give
them.
Everyone agrees that combinations of
capital or labor In the formation of trusts
are legal and produce an uncertain amount
of good.
The Oil Trust greatly improved the qual
ity of oil and sells it at about one-half the
price It was wl.cn the trust was formed.
Members of this trust have given several
million dollars for Colleges, Churches and
other public woi ks.
But what would this trust d- to the peo
ple if given unlimited power?

WEITZELL GETS WIDER FIELD

Four hundred miles of railroad territory

tho Illinois Central Railrotd company, with
headquarters In Omaha, by an order re

over a million dollars In defending crim

and It has at times tied up Industries and
squeezed extra money out of the public.
but It can never permafiently raise wages
bevond what the Industry can stand.
In tact, the hlghe.it ijcale of wages is paid
In factories independent of tho Labor
Trust. It is universally admitted that
the Individual quality of the working
members of the unions has declined and
It persistently endeavors lo keep our
youth from leurnlng trades except In the
restricted number set by the trust and
entirely under Its control.
Its warfare and criminal record Is some
thing feareful to contemplate.
The homes of workmen burned or blown
up and other property destroyed has run
Into millions of dollars while the citizens
who have been beaten, maimed or mur
dered aggregate In the past ten years
several hundred thousand.
There were over fi.000 men assaulted or
murdered In one strike, (the teamsters)
In Chicago a few years ago. All of this
violence lias been done to establish the
fact that if the common man asserts his
right to freedom and declines to bow down
to the orders of the Labor Trust, he must
be punished and forced Into submission.
It has cost the common citizens mil
lions of dollars to support police and sol
diers to preserve property and protect
themselves from the attacks of this trust.
Next Move
Discovering that the people object to
being attacked and having their property
destroyed, the Iabor Trust members con
clude their next step should be to elect
members of the legislature and Congre
who will change old laws and make new
ones, so that the Labor Trust may safely
carry on Jthe work and not be punished.
Hence the demand that they be exempt
from the trust laws and that the hands of
our courts be tied so no Injunction can be
Issued to prevent them from picketing,
boycotting, slugging or blowing up prop
erty. s
We were treated to a good Illustration
of how trust work together when some
chiefs of the Steel Trust, Joined the chiefs
of the Labor Trust at the Republican Con
vention in Chicago and agreed among
themselves that the Steel trust would
woik for the AnU-inJunction-tie-thehands-of-thc-courts
platform demanded by the
Labor Trust if In turn the Labor mem
bers would work for 8 repeal of the
Sherman anil-trust law demanded by ths
Steel trust. Both working to be free of
laws which were obstacles to their further
control of the people, and what would be
the condition of the common man If the
National Citizens Industrial Assoeistlon
and its allies, with their lawyers, headed
by James A. Emory, had not fought tlirni
to a finish and Insisted that these trust
planks should not be Included In the Re
publican platform?
We have an Association now made up
of citizens through widen the tights of
the common man can he asserted and de
fended to an extent, at least.
Thus by organization, the trust organ
ization can be met snd cheeked.
The common citizens who read the
papers, vote and attend to the affairs ot
life are far and away In the majority
over the members of ny trust, labor or
capital, and when they understand the
hidden attacks made on their llbertli-s

undertaken for liomd lime has aroused the
interest which Is being manifested in the
Cinderella ball for the children of Omaha
to be given at the den Saturday efternootw.,
Joseph M. Cudahy, chairman of the hall
committee, has worked tirelessly to make
the ball a success and all Indications aio
thut his efforts will not be without avaii.
It. will truly be a beautiful sight to ski
the 500 children do their parts in the Cin

ball to follow. The den Is the largert
structure In Omaha and will be crowded
both Friday evening and Saturday after
noon. The final rehearsal for the Cinderella bill
will be held at the den Thursday .after
noon at 3:30 sharp. It will not be a drees
rehearsal and because of the lateness of
the hour for which It is railed It will be
necessary to start promptly. Arrange

will be over by 4:30 o'clock.
public men who have been bravs enough
to stand fearlessly for the, rights ot the
great masses of workers and doerj who
are not trust members.
Just so sure as tools of the Labor Trust
(or any other trust) are elected to. public
office. Just so' sure' the common man will
suffer. Thst applies even down to petty
officers. If an ordinary policeman se
cures his position from tho Labor Trust
he Is slow to protect the citizen in time
of trouble. Many such an officer has beer
blind to the' slugging of Innocent citizen -i
and only too 'willing to allow violence
If done by a labor union slugger.
Probably no more glaring falsehood and
impudent appeal for sympathy was ever
sent broadcast than the late assertion
by the leaders of the Lsbor Trust when
he announced that the American Federa
tion of Labor was one of the strongest
elements known for the preservation of
fjeeee.
Their violent methods are so well known
and established that whenever the trust
orders a strike, the public authorities Im
mediately set. about to provide some sort
of protection for the citizens and their
property. A single clipping from a late
papej illustrates the feeling.
"The Corn Products Company has an
nounced that Its new ' $4,000,000 plant, a
few miles south of Chicago, wilt be under
"open shop" rule, and that union men, If
they want work there, will have to leave
their union affiliation outside the pro
tected land.
A stockade eight feet high and bullet
proof has been built around the site."
Citizens' Protection
Citizens have been careless In consider
ing the Insidious moves mads by ths
Labor Trust seeking control over affairs.
It is time that each free man questioned
carefully Into the Intent and purpose of
each candidate for public office, without
regard to his politics.
It's a question of protection against
trust growth now. If a candidate openly
or hlddenly stands for Labor Union dia
(nation, hoping thereby to he elected
the Labor .Trust members together With
the votes of the citizens who Uon't real
ize the danger, vote for him if you' think
bekt to put your affairs and liberty la
tl(e bands of the. -leaders of this gresl
trust. But it will be a blsck day for
Americans when any trust -gains power
enough to enact their own lavt-t and to
dictate when a freeman shall work, when
quit and how much he shall pay to sup
port the managers. Also what articles
shall be bought. W'hat cars used... What
stoves, hats, ehoej, clothing and eten the
hearse used to bury the dead. '
The foundation of our free Republic la
based on the principle that "every man
must be equal before the law snd every
man protected under the law."
The Labor Trust Vocnly asserts It must
have special Immunity from the law and
special new laws to give Its member
advantage and control over the common
people. - 4
