Every newspaper treasures up IN
its memory the names of its friends
and likewise, its enemies. 1t seldom,
if ever. overlooks an opportunity to
assist the former. but never gets out
of its way to boost the latter. Human
nature is pretty much the same every
where. People who show the news
paper nan kindness eve made a bet
ter investment or that more surely
pays them a hnndred-fold sooner or
LATER. As has been truly said. there
comes IA time in the life of every man
when ii word said by IA newspaper
either makes or unmakes the individ-
ual mentioned.

Missouri is moi getting a fair divide
of the pie. 1t is true that Missouri
didn't 90 hell bent for Mckinley. hut
Missouri Republicans + just as true,
just as virtuous. just as loyal, just as
patriotic as Pennsylvania Republi-

Missouri is the home OF Dick Bland,

souri, followed that false prophet, but
that should not hinder the patriotic
Republicans of Missouri from having

The sensational papers that are
publishing matter to show that a mere
political change has not brought i'm
mediate prosperity" and that are
attacking capital in every issue, are
doing more to delay better times than
all other agencies combined. Better
times depend upon confidence and the
free outflow of capital into industry.
The sensational sheet aims to destroy
confidence. and it so constantly at
tacks capital and capitalists that men
with money become shy of investing
if And all the time it poses as the
friend of labor, while attacking and
breaking down the very agencies from
which relief for present conditions
must come.-Printers' Ink.

tenants. The landlord is not a greedy

some renters who are honest and there
are some who have to be watched. The

pleasant. The poor devil is the fell
low who enjoys all there is in this

Mont, arrived in Kansas City last
night under the care of Pinkerton
agent. She was taken from the Union
depot on her arrival direct to hotel
in charge of Pinkerton operative.
He registered for her, using a false
name and she was shown to a room
without seeing the employees of
the house. This morning a waiter
who went to call the woman to break
fast found her in paroxysms. The at
tending physician and hotel attaches
refused to admit reporters In their
efforts to quiet suspicion the physician
and hotel attaches only added to the be-
lief that the sick guest was none other
than Kate Neal. During the day the
Pinkerton admitted that the girl was
in town and sick; and finally positive
information was given out that she
was suffering from an overdose of
whisky. 1t was the intention of the
detectives to take her to Sweet Springs
on an early train, but she was not able
