OUR HIGH SCHOOL.

Year by year our High school is being
raised to a higher degree of efficiency.
A careful perusal of the new High
school courses on the first page of this
paper will convince every supporter OF
higher education that our High school
is preparing to take its place at the
head of such institutions IN Missouri.
The lNTELLIGESCER is proud of this
school;
Proud of the tact that Lexingtonians
have a Board of Education, the watch
word of each member of which is
"progress'';
Proud, that at the head of this school
there is a man who has the ability,
both mental and executive, to give it 4
tone and a standing which such an
institution in Lexington should have
Proud of the fact that the corps Of
instructors are well qualified to fill
their positions and are giving general
satisfaction;
Proud of the fact that the students
are making excellent progress.
Here's to L%exington's High school,
May it ever be as progressive and a:
efficient as it is today.

PatrOniZe Printers Ink.

Many business men,, strange to say,
are still in doubt as to the value of ad-
verlising, and when approached on
the subject, express themselves in favor
of personal solicitations as against a
liberal use of printers Ink, says the
Building Trades journal. How such
a fallacy can obtain in the minds Of
experienced merchants is one of the
inexplicable mysteries. What one reads
when the mind is composed, makes a
stronger impression than what one
hears when ones attention is more or
less distracted. The representative of
a firm may be pleasant and persuasive,
and also able to attract many dollars
to his employers credit, yet we con-
tend that an advertisement of sufficient
space, in good plain type, judiciously
placed and kept standing, will be worth
many times its cost; the returns are
not so directly traced as in the case OF
the drummer. One grows familiar
with a firm when its advertisement is
often seen, and when in want Of an
article the mind naturally reverts to
the old acquaintance.
"Success lies knee-deep through
printers ink" is an established prin-
ciple to which many prosperous men
can testify. A timid soul once asked
the great Snowman, p. L. Barnum, to
what power he attributed his wonder
fll success The answer, crisp and to
the point, came quickly: "Printers'
ink sirir Only two small words, but
the secret of his prosperity.

THE COUNCII;S Dirty.

The INTELLIGENCER has faith in the
integrity, public spirit and ability OF
the city council. We believe that body
will do the right thing at the right
time. We have implicit confidence in
the mayor of this city. This paper
has time and again called the attention
of its readers to the wise and patriotic
administration of city affairs since he
has been placed at the head of the city
government. The Positions of mayor
and councilman in this new and better
era of L~exington's prosperity are re-
sponsible ones, and in the future much
will depend upon their actions.
A momentous question is now before
the council. 1t is n question which
embraces a contract for the expenditure
of a large amount of money for a term
of years. 1t is a question in which every
man, woman and child in Lexington is
interested, and in the solution of which
all of us will be affected.
Now that the bridge, with all of its
bright promises, is in sight, many
questions of grave import will be pre-
scented to the council for action.
Without any spirit of dictation, with
high regard for each member OF the
body, and implicit faith in the integ-
rity of the mayor, the INTELLIGENCER
would suggest as a plan of action,
whenever it can be done, that the
council let all of these important mat
tiers go TO the people. Nothing is
%fairer, nothing more equitable, than to
let the citizens aud taxpayers decide
upon questions which will affect the
city years after the present officers
have served their terms.
With the electric light proposition
that is now before the council, we
would make this disposition: Order
an election, let the majority say what
it wants, and the minority abide by the
result. BY taking this course the
council will not compromise itself, and
yet be fair and impartial to all con-
cerncd.

OFFICIAL ORDERS.

In the last few days federal officers
have received some instructions that
will be of interest to them in drawing
their salaries. These instructions came
from a high authority, and are Official.
Grover Cleveland is the author OF the
first order and First Assistant Post
master-G General Jones the anthor of the
order that emphasizes the first.
The orders condensed are that all
those who hold Office under this admin
istration must not criticise nor condemn
anything that the president says OF
does; that all postmasters and such
like must enter into q cordial sup.
port and endorsement of all plans Of
the administration, and that no criti'
cism will be tolerated at Washington
that if office holders don't take tia
"gold cure,' down 60 their 'meaI
houses"
These orders may have been received
by the federal officers before, but thi.
is the first time, perhaps, in the history
of this government when their instruc
tions have been printed for the crue
world to read.
The orders are plain. There IS nj
lodging them. They are not capabl,
of misconstruction. They must b.
carried out to the letter, or Uncle San
will stop the pay.
The boys have the sympathy of tn,
cruel world, which though often OPP
pressive, always guarantees the RICH
to everyone of freedom of thought ant
speech. The boys can think what the,
please, but they dare not tell il. The,
must swallow all the long-winded let
tiers and tell all their friends how dem
ocratic they are. They must dust al
the silver off their clothes and ge
down before the golden calf an
worship just like they meant it.
The orders do moi prohibit then
from talking, SO long as they talk "soi
soap" and s~'whltewash" about th
administration, and so long as the
worship the golden calf.
The order has an emergency claus
attached to it, and of course goes int
effect Immediately. Hereafter, a
federal officers must guard their lar
guage and talk gold, or else ceas
drawing pay.
Our sympathy to the boys. In thi
day OF patriotism a public ofiic
under orders from the president is
private trust, and not a private snap

Communicated.

Editor Intelligencer:
Candidates for the several county
offices to be filed at the election in
November, 1896, are already in the
field and one of the county papers, If
not more, is giving encouragement to
this .searly bird" business by publish
ing the names of such candidates. The
candidates so far named are perfect
gentlemen and good citizens, but we
do think it a little bit too early to COM
mence a canvass for county officers,
when the election is EIGHTEEN MONTHS
off.
Instead of devoting the next twelve
months to selfish efforts in trying to
get office, and in annoying the voters
by soliciting their support, would 1t
not be better and more patriotic to put
/ n about twelve months In trying to
bring about harmony in the now
divided ranks OF the democratic party.
An eighteen months canvas for county
offices is enough to disgust the voters
of the county, and will, if ~countenanced
or encouraged, keep many voters from
the polls. There is more in politics
than mere ofice-getting.
DEMOCRAT.
The weekly intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1891-1901, 1895-05-11
CONSIDER THAT PROPOSITION.

The citizens of Lexington should
consider well the amended st. Joseph
electric light proposition. As it pre-
SCENTS itself to us, it is a good one, and
will bear favorable consideration.
The INTELLIGENCER is not opposed
to gas. We do not want the gas inter
esls killed nor crippled. We believe
that there is plenty of room here for
both gas and electric lights. 1t has
been proven that there is room here
for four colleges, five banks, Il score of
grocery stores, more than Il half dozen
dry goods houses, four or five clothing
stores and SIX drug stores, and we see
no reason why there should moi he
Don for two light plants.
Competition puts life INTO business,
aud we believe that with two competing
companies the business of both would
be good. Besides, it would throw a
safeguard around the people, which,
while they may not need it, would he
as well 10 have.
The amended St. Joseph proposition
appears TO us to be just what LeXiDg-
ton needs. Should it be accepted,
Lexington will be reasonably and well
lighted.
We call attention to this proposition,
and pronounce it a good one, from the
standpoint of light alone. But there
are manifold reasons why St. Joseph
should have the preference. These
reasons are known to every citizen OF
this town, and they need not here be
related.
St. Joseph has violated n confidence
in asking for this franchise; and, as
her company offers II proposition which
has been passed upon by a committee
of excellent business men, and pro-
nounced a good one, we a make no
great mistake in accepting it. The
least the citizens of Lexington a do
is to give the proposition cordial con-
sheraton.

A NEW CHIEF.

Kansas City has a new chief of
police. His name is Irwin, and he
succeeds Chief Speers, who held the
job for tw%enty-One years.
With the Kansas City police muddle
nearly everyone in Western Missouri is
familiar. Governor Stone has been
maligned; his integrity questioned, and
his motives criticised by the Times and
Star for the past three months. 1t has
been charged that he was building a
political machine in the Kaw city for
future use in a senatorial campaign.
By a process of ready made premises
and conclusions of vivid imaginative
editorial writer's the whole affair has
been laid before the public.
Stone wrote one letter and in it there
was one paragraph that seemed to us
to substantiate his position. If there
were open, notorious fraudulent acts
committed at every election, If as these
papers daily stated, there were crimes
gong on that were UNPUBLISHED; if 'sthe
long nan and the short man. held the
fort and robbed passers-by at will,
without being molested, then whose
fault was itP Surely not the fault of
the newspapers. All they could do
was TO tell about it. Further han this
they were powerless, but they did their
duty in this respect, and Governor
Stone did his duty in looking into the
matter. If crime was rife in Kansas
City and policemen would stand
around and watch it without an effort
to prevent it, then the proper thing to
do was to reorganize the police force,
and the fountain head was the place to
begin. Chief Speers was perhaps
ignorant of gross misconduct on the
part of the subordinates, but his
ignorance did not, nor should it have
excused him.
Kansas City o has an honest re-
corder of voters and a new chief OF
police with Il recognized force to work
with. Irwin may or may not be a bet
ter man than Speers. This remains to
be seen. He has il great work before
him, but if he can purify the police
force, and be instrumental in giving
the people OF Kansas City honest cleo,
tions and protect the people in theil
person and property, he will have doni
more than has been done in the past
and vindicate the governor and the
police commissioners in their action il
removing Speers.
