P. Marks and H. G. CASTOR, waited
on Colsnel j. w. Campbell, editor Of
the Webb City Daily Republican, to
notify him that at q meeting of the
business men that it was resolved to
boycott his paper because he was ed
vocating the voting of
bonds to build the Jasper County
Court Houses at Carthage and Joplin.
A bitter feeling of hostility exists be-
tween Webb City and Joplin, but the
editor Of the Republican advocated
the building Of the court houses as
proposed and urged all voters to lay
aside local prejudice and consider
only the county's good. Campbell
says although this attempt to gag
the press may force him to suspend
he will not yield the right of Ameri-
can citizenship under threat of boy
colt. He expects to shut down busii-
ness after next Monday unless the
business men Withdraw the boycott.
The election comes of Tuesday and
each side is working hard. Carthage
has already voted $50, 900 to be used

For some unaccountable reason the
new law of New York forbids the

of this usually is that all sorts Of con-

1t is curious inconsistency in the
new law regulating capital punish
ment in this state that while it was
avowedly designed in the case of hu.
manity it made mental torture certain

The attempt of the business men Of
Webb City to boycott the editor Of
the Republican of that place, because
he advocated the voting of bonds to
build the Jasper county court houses
at Carthage and Joplin, is a con-
temptible piece of work no matter
what may be the merits or dement's
of the case. The boycott is a foreign
importation which has been tried and
found wanting in this country too often
for it to have any effect in shaping
public opinion. The BAzoo is well
acquainted with the Republicans edi.
tor and it believes that he will uphold
his rights in such . manner that be
will win friends to his cause.

This makes New York feel q great

THE MAN WHO LIES.

"All men are liars" says the oracle
of holy writ, but there are liars and
liars.
The man who will lie-perhaps to
save another mans life, 10 not an or.
binary liar and his sin may be for.
given him, but the man who will lie
because he loves to lie is q scoundrel
to be avoided as the deadly night.
shade is to be avoided, for,
sooner or later, he not only
ruins himself but all connected with
him. Beware of the liar" says
Darius, "for. no matter how he may
protest that be is telling the truth, if
he lie to others he will also lie to
thee" "Trust not the liar" says the
Persian proverb, "the liar hath not
good in him-he doeth no good but
evil" Indeed from the time of
Ananias the liar has been held in dis.
repute and it is possible that when
Cain attempted to Lie by saying that
he was not "his brothers keeper, the
angels of heaven hid their faces in
mourning and the earth itself
trembled. And yet there are
men who will condone a lie
when that lie does not clash with
their interests, they accept the lie
without protest and pass the lie by
without 80 much a. . contradiction.
Is this right? Certainly not; the
man who condones q lie which be
knows to be . lie, where another is
stands upon an equal
footing with the liar and in his own
heart holds a fountain of untruth
which only awaits an opportunity to
spring forth. i
Beware of the liar "for If he lies to
others, so will be lie to thee"

journalism fully occupied and started
an Independent paper, to make an
honest living and ''for the people now
on EARTH" For years it was a hard
struggle with him, but by dint Of en-.
ergy and perseverance he overcame
all obstacles and accomplished success.
His paper is now widely known and i.
one Of the most valuable properties
in the state. He came to Sedalia with
but little if any money, but now owns
his valuable Office, and a handsome
home, and has recently purchased two
