Papers,
Editor Griffith Frost, of the Knox
County Democrat, has this:-
"Senator Vests bill aimed at the beet
combine OF Chicago, known as the
export bill, passed the senate last
week, j. at as he reported il from the
committee Some of the east.
ern republican senators made several
attempts to amend the bill and make il
harmless to the beef combine but Sena.
tor Vest fought them so sturdily that
he succeeded in carrying his measure
through without amendment or change.
Hoar. Plat aud Hale oppos-
ell the measure through all its stages
and tried to load it down with amend
ments. but they did not succeed"
-
Editor Charles G. White notes one of
the infallible car marks of republican
journalism in Missouri:
"The republican press Of the state
has been hard at work during the past
year in publishing all the slanderous
lies upon Missouri that they could
fabricate. Missouri has been under
democratic control for many years, dur
ing which time she has made a pros
perous growth, which no other state
has equaled, yet in vain endeavor to
get u loot hold, the republicans can
find no lie too outrageous to vilify the
state"
Editor Harry f. Kapp, of the Malta
Bend Qui Vive, makes point rather
vigorously:
"rhat venerable republican chestnut
about democrats not being able to read
aud that the K. o. p. was the party of
Intelligence, etc, etc. has at last sought
the shade OF its own vine and fig tree,
viz, the headquarters OF the republican
national committee. In his Boston
speech, Il short time ago, First Assis-
tant Postmaster General Clarkson said
the democrats had beaten the repnbli-
cans at their own game in the matter
OF education OH political issues and
gave the following figures ami facts to
prove his statement. There are 255
republican and 320 democratic dailies
The republican dailies have Il circuls-
ton OF one million and half; the
democratic dailies have combined cir
culation OF oyer two millions aud u
half. The democrats have 1916 week
lies, with circulation of four millions
and quarter. Beyond this the maga-
zines that support the democratic party
l., at lass .f. 81, I,nIa
lion, while those that support the re-
publican party have less than hun
dred thousand As Clarkson il pretty
good authority, we commend the above
to those sheets which are eternally
harping about intelligence in the repub-
lican party and moss. backism i'm the
democratic rauks. We further would
respectfully suggest TO such sheets that
if there was time in which such claims
were admissible, that time Is now past,
and discreet silence on those topics
would be the proper caper."

Editor j. Is. Mcdonald, of the John.
son County Star, utters the unanimou,
verdict of republicans AZ well as demo.
Gratis IN this paragraph on Judge
Can't:
"The nomination of udge CAN'T fol
Judge Ot the supreme court givel
strength and dignity to the state ticket
He is an able iurist, and commands th,
respect OF the bar and of tho people,"

Editor Samuel B Cook of the Mexico
Intelligencer, has this on the Jefferson
Chandler episode:
"The reports sent out from st. JOI
concerning the treatment accorllcs
Hon. JEFF Chandler by the democrati,
state convention have been greatly ex
aggerated. The Republics accoun
was to the effect that Mr.. Chandle
undertook to speak and was hootet
from the stage. The facts are that Mr.
Chandler, Gov. WoOdsOn, Gen. Boom
and others had made short speeches I,
the delegates from the balcony OF tn
Pacific hotel the night before. Whel
the convention met the next day an,
while waiting for the committee on ere
dentials to make its report, calls wer
made for prominent democrats to speal
MIR. Chandler among the number
Chandler did not make his appearance
in response to the calls and delegat
moved that he be requested To addres
the convention. The motion met wit
Il storm of mos and il was not put t
vote of the convention. When quie
was restored, II delegate proposed thre
cheers for George G. Vest and the
were given with hearty unanimity. Mr
Chandler did not appear on the plat
form at all and he was not hooted b.
the delegates or any one else. II wa
very evident that there were no Chand
Ter men in the convention, but he wa
not subjected to the insults which ir
responsible newspaper correspondent
in their fertile imagination rccounte
at length in their reports"

Editor Thomas l.. Diggs, of the New
Haven Notes, thinks the republican
furnish rather poor material for officer
in those parts of Missouri that sii
have the misfortune to be controlled b
them:
awe never had Il very exalted OpiI
ion of the ability of Judge Seay, {
Union, but his recent letter from Okla
