The state census recently COM
pleted in Kansas shows a decrease
of 1000 compared with the census
of 1890. Taking into account the
natural increase of its population,
it is evident that at least $50, 900
people have moved out of Kan
sas since 1890, and they are still
going. The Atlanta Journal attrib-
utes this decrease to two reasons
bad crops and populism-and
adds: "Bad crops are discourage
ing, but it is hard to estimate the
damage that has been done the
state by the domination of a party
which could find no better senator
than PETER"

In Boonville lives the oldest jour
nalist in point of continuous news
paper service in the United States.
Every newspaper man in Missouri
knows and reveres Colonel W. F.
Switzier. In 1871 he became editor
of the Columbia Patriot. He estab-
lished the Columbia Statesman in
January, 1913, and was it's editor
for As years. It will thus be seen
that Colonel Switzier has two years
the advantage of Charles A. Dana,
who began his remarkable newspaper
career in 1913. It is no exaggera-
ton to say that Colonel Switzier
knows more about the State of Mis-
souri, and the men who have been
prominent in the states politics than
any five men now living. His men,
DRY is most remarkable. He never
forgets name or date. He can tell
without reference to any book of
reference just when every county in
Missouri was organized and the Cir
cumstances under which the orga-
nization was made. He has person
ally known every governor of Mis-
souri,, except the first two, and can
tell just when he met them and all
the circumstances of the meeting.
| Although Colonel Switzier is "a
years of age his memory is as good
now as ever No doctor ever felt
his pulse and he never took drink
of whisky,
Colonel Switzier has in his library
every book published which in any
way approaches a history of Mis-
souri.-St. Louis Republic.
