pleasure, mention every breeder in

SOUTHAMPTON, LONG ISLAND, n.
y, July 20.-I am glad to note
from the LEDGER that the Telephone
Company is receiving liberal pat
ronage. Such enterprises in a small
town are like a daily paper-a great
convenience to the public but a poor
investment. At the same time, most
OF Mexico's business men are very
liberal in patronizing any worthy
enterprise. When you find a town
where all the people take an inter
est in every public institution of
merit you will find a fourishing
little city, such as Mexico is. /
have the greatest confidence in Mex
ico's future, surrounded as it is by
such a fine farming country and
peopled with public-spirited, pro-
gressive business men. The more
see of other towns the greater
confidence we have in Mexico. More
sewerage and paved streets will be
long strides in the right direction.
During the last year Missouri has
made a fine reputation among think
ing men throughout the east. Sew
eral times we have had our atten-
ton called to the high market price
of our securities also the fact that
no Coxey armies came from our
State. OF course, we have a few

Coxey went from jail to oblivion
and Debs will 60 the same way or a
worse one.
Debs' action in going to Jail when
sufficient bail was offered for his APP
pearanee in court must have been
inspired by one of two motives.
He may have wished to pose as a
martyr, to create sympathy. But a
man who goes to Jail voluntarily is
about as much entitled to sympathy
as one who goes to sleep on a rail.
road track.
He may have wished to avoid re-
sponsibility for the further conduct
of the strikers whom he called out.
That is the act of a sneak.
In either case it was an absurd
and ridiculous proceeding-a fitting
close to a brief record of stupendous
blunders.-
Debs is advertising himself at the
expense of the working men he mis-
represents.
The reputation of Mexico's schools
reaches even TO this place. The par
ents of a young lady here are very
anxious for her to attend Hardin
