EVERYBODY is now in favor of the
Missouri State University; every
body is now in favor of locating it at
Columbia. Those people who were
strongest opposed to any university
at all; those members of the Legis-
lature who said, "only you" fellows
in town favor a university those
demogogues who were opposed to
the university because they thought
a very small portion of the Repub-
lican members of the Farmers Al
lance opposed it, are now the loud
est mouthed in favor OF the Uni
versity. Those newspapers who OPP
pose churches and schools and en-
lightment of all kinds, on general
principles, are now in favor OF the
university and its r~e-erection at
Columbia. Those who fought it the
hardest and were the most opposed
to it are now the ones who claim to
have located it at Columbia.

THE st. Louis Republic is raising
a fund to erect a school house in
fancy county in memory of Deputy
Sheriff Williams, who was killed
while attempting to save al insane
prisoner from a mob. Contributions
are coming in from all parts of Mis-,
souri, and other States. There have
been several mobs in Missouri with,
in the last month and it is about
time to cell a halt. Life and prop.

Col. SwrrzLER, the veteran
Journalist of Missouri, and for years
editor Of the Columbia Statesman,
now of the Chillicothe Constitution
says: "Col. R.. NJ. White, editor Of
the Mexico, Mo, LEDGER, is promi.
nently mentioned as a Democratic
candidate for the Legislature in Au-
drain county. Audrain is one among
the best agricultural counties in Mis-.
souri, and Mexico is one among the
best towns. We know it is not con-
stitutional for the Constitution to in
terfere with the local affairs of the
people of Audrain, but it is consti'
tutional (and of course Democratic)
for us to express our opinion, and il
is that White would make an able,
faithful and creditable representative.

The praiseworthy efforts OF some
of the district schools of Audrain are
deserving of mention. Every move
toward higher education, more men
tai activity and more diversified
knowledge is only another barrier
against any encroaehments attempt
ed against the public freedom.
There never was a Democracy until
Greece baeame the most enlightened
country on the globe, and ever since
that early period freedom and en-
lightment have trod the stony path
ways hand in hand that led to the
present age of republics. AS an es-
pecial case deserving laudation, we
| cite the work of the teacher and pu-
pills of Sunrise school, south OF Ben
ton City. Their effort is to found q
library; the infant is young and not
very healthy just now-but we have
the story of the little acorn to remind
us that it may in the future be OF in,
calculable benefit to broaden the
minds or kindle the spark of genius
in many a youthful rustic's breast.
They should be encouraged.

W. ". Watkins, of Vandalia, and
nj Of Audrain county's wealthiest

CATION to Jefferson City in his inter
est. He should be nominated.
The farmers of Missouri demand
recognition on the next State ticket
and they should have it at the head
and not in the middle or at the tail.
And why should not Dalton please
all classes for that matter? He is
the peer of any man in the State in
ability and his honesty is unques-
toned. What I say is not my talk
alone, but expresses the sentiment
of the people of my neighborhood.
Yes, put Audrain down for Dali

be protected the United States

protect them, even if it became
