There is a great deal of talk about
which side of the ''prohibition'' ques.
ton the Democratic party should take.
In our opinion the Democratic party
has nothing to do with prohibition
any more than it has with any other
non-political matter. The Democratic
party should pay no more attention to
prohibition that it does to catholicism
professionalism, Or any other matter
entirely foreign at this time.

Public Spirit.

The Mexico (Mo,D LEDGER of July 9Th
contained the full text of Judge W. o,
florists Fourth of July Grafton. All who
hear Judge Forris speak only hear to be-
come enthusiastic to hear him again. We
have never heard his peer in the State OF
Missouri. We differ from many positions
he takes, but this does not lessen our
appreciation of his giant powers. We
think that his eulogy to the memory of
Garfield, which was also published in the
LEDGER, was the finest eulogy delivered
in the West. 1t is often the case that
speakers on the Fourth are SO heavy and
tiresome that they cannot hold the atten-
ton of their audience. The fault is not
with the hearer-it is with the speaker.
If a speaker has the truth SO formed that
it will burn its way, attention will always
be given. We commend the LEDGER for
its public spirit in furnishing the reading
public with these able orations.-Chnrch

what our business men will cheerfully
