WIPING OUT THE MORTGAGES
The Big Wheat Crop Freeing the Ok

told me that he would pay the money
as soon as he could thresh his wheat
but regretted that it would take near

that the money should be paid in
September. I saw him again a few
days ago. He said he could not pay
the money at the time agreed upon,
az he had been unable to get thresh-
ers in his field. There was broad
smile on his face, however. He said:

price of wheat between now and the

THE Kansas City Times, thorough

per of the same kind, the following:
"The proposition to change theMex-
leo Bryan Club to the Mexico Demo
cratic club is q good one and should
be followed. While Mr.. Bryan holds
high place in the minds and hearts OF
all Democrats, he is but one member
of a great party. The Democrsat
should have learned by not distant
experience that the party should new
er be subordinate to any man."
The above is little misleading, in
that the resolution was not to take out
the word Bryan. Mr.. Warden in his
resolution simply wanted the word,

IN PIKE COUNTY.
Efforts of the Only Eye Witness and
Others to Keep the Terrible
Affair Secret.
From the yandalia Leader
No. "a.

From the vandalia Leader.
]. A. B. Keith, who came up from
New Hartford Monday, says there is
great excitement in that community
over Saturdays tragedy, in which
Albert Jones, aged 20, shot and killed
his sister, aged IS.
1t seems that Miss Jones and anoth-
or young lady of the same age were in
the house, Miss Jones being before
the glass arranging her hair, when
Albert came in very much excited.
With an oath he accused his sister of
telling lies on him. She, very much
surprised, said she had not been talk
ing about him at all. With another oath
he accused her Of lying and at the
same time drew o revolver and fired
it into her face. The ball struck her
squarely in the forehead and passed
entirely through the head.
The above facts were told by the
young lady who was the only eye wit
ness. Since then she has refused to
talk. The father and mother of the
young man are also unwilling to talk
about the affair. The neighborhood is
aroused and threats of lynching were
freely made.
1t is said that young Jones has an
uncomfortable temper and is liable to
do damage when in a rage. Others
say he is crazy and has been for some
time. Last February, it is said, he set
fire to his fathers corn pens and de-
stroyed great quantity of grain.
HELD FOR MURDER.
Young Jones is now in Jail at Troy,
Mo-, where he was taken after the
coroner's investigation. He claims
the killing was accidental, but the jury
held him for murder. The Jones fam
lily is well known and highly respected.

N. B. GUTHRIE,
MEXICO, MO.
The Mexico Ledger Endorsed.

Col. w. o. l.. Jewett, editor of the
Shelbina (Mo.) Democrat, says:
We notice that the Bryan Club, ol
Mexico, has denounced the LEDGER
Of that place, for opening it's columns
70 articles written against Hon. Sam
! 3. Cook for Governor, and few pa
pers have also seen fit to denounce
The LEDGER for the same reason
Such denunciation is uncalled for, and
b the same spirit which would silence
President Andrews, of Brown UnIver-
sity. The spirit that would silence
freedom of speech is always danger
ous. Because a man runs a Demo-
cratic paper he should not be denied
the right and privilege OF opening the
columns Of his paper to criticism or
even denunciation of individual Dem
ocrats, be they ever SO prominent.
How much of this is to be allowed Is a
matter of taste largely, to be regulat-
Cd by the editor of the paper.
Because Bob White allowed some
one to pitch into Sam Cook through
the LEDGER is no good ground for
complaint on the part of Democratic
papers or Democratic organizations.
Sam Cook is good Democrat and we
admire him, but he ia no better DEM
. ocrat than is Bob White. There is
nothing OF the hypocrite about either
Of them. The latter especially is
plainly and frankly what he Processes
to be. He has the courage of his con-
victions, and does not hesitate to say
what he thinks ought to be said.
He thought it mistake for the
Democratic party to put 16 to / in its
platform and said so up to the Chicago
convention, but when the party de-
cided to put this into the platform
Bob White, like a good and loyal
Democrat that he is, buckled on the
srmor and fought for Bryan and free
silver with all his power. 1t was such
men as he that saved the State to the
Democrats.
An attempt now to ostracise and
drive such men away from the fold is
he most foolish, suicidal course that
can possibly be pursued. If freedom
fideas and speech be denied to DEM
ocrsts then the Democratic party is
nothing. 1t is party that glories in
the freedom and independence of its
members. 1t glories in broadness and
Hberality, and all narrowness is an
tagonistic to it's spirit.
The greatest enemies of Democratic
1uccess are those who would drive
nom the party all who do not agree
h every particular with such self
appointed guardians of the fold.
What the Democracy must fight is the
narrow spirit of bigotry as well as the
power of concentrated wealth which
hcrushing the common people. The
party was defeated last fall in its at
tsnpt to secure the free coinage of
diver, but its cause is not dead. The
hght against the power of gold must
% on, and must win, or free govern
nent will be failure. The coinage of
dlver Is only one branch or phase of
,he great conflict.
Let Democrats quit the fight among
themselves, especially this suicidal
course Of trying to drive people out of
NE party. Too many have already
been driven out. Let us face the COM
mon foe, and turn our batteries against
ne fortification of the enemy. There
plenty of work along this line to en-
gage all our time and talents.
