Ennnnn Field hay

Eugene Field day was duly observed
in the Lexington public schools. Spec
ial exercises were held in all of the
rooms, and the day was devoted tn
reciting and reading choice selections
from his poems, whose beauty and
feeling have made him spoken of rs the
children's poet; and he was no less the
children's poet than he was their friend.
Missouri is proud to claim him as her
son, and when the call went forth to the
children of Missouri to raise money
with which to erect Il monument to his
memory, they responded with l%iberality.
The pupils at the public schools here
gave $3.50 toward erecting the monu-
ment, and if each school in the state
gave an equal sum the shaft of marble
erected with the sum will be a fitting
one to his memory.

GOOD ROADS BONDS.

The Agricultural Department at Wash

BILE speech on good roads recently delivered
by Judge Thayer, of Clinton, Iowa, In which
he asserts that mud on highways annually
costs the country, in the destruction of veh-
Giles, feed Of extra draft animals and delay
in getting products to market, something
like $3.50. 100000, Of which sum the State of
Iowa pays perhaps $s.OO0,0OO.
Arguing from this fact, Judge Thsyer
says Il is duty as well as a just prerogative
to bond every town TO an amount sufficient
To build scientifically perfect roads when
ever they are needed within its boundaries,
connecting with the similar highways Of
the adjoining municipalities.
Being aware that to the average farmer
the idea Of bonding the town has terror

4 WITNESS MUST TEsTYFY

The Supreme Court Of the United States,
on Monday last, in an opinion delivered by
Chief Justice Fuller in the Chapman case,
decided that Senate committee has the
right to compel witness TO testify when the
evidence relates TO the conduct and duties of
Senators. When the Wilson tariff bill was
before the Senate II was charged In the
newspapers that certain Senators were spec
ulaung in sugar stock. A committee was
appointed TO Investigate the truth of the
charge, and Mr. Elverton r. Chapman, OF
New York, a broker. was summoned as a
witness. He refused to say whether he had
bought or sold stock for any Of the Senators
who were alleged TO have specialized On
account Of his refusal he was convicted of
contumacy aud sentenced to u short term OF
imprisonment and 10 pay fine. The Su
preme Court affirmed the sentence of the
court below.
Heretofore committees OF Congress have
been without power to compel witnesses to
testify, but under Chief Justice Fuller's
opinion refusal 10 give testimony in the
future will not only be contempt Of Con
gress. but an offence against the United
States as we'll So hereafter congressional
committees may be able To conduct inyesti
cations with some hope of getting at the
facts.
As for Mr.. Chapman, a residence OF thirty
days in Jail in the District Of Columbia
seems TO he inevitable. unless a law passed
by the last Congress provides means by
which he may escape the sentence Of the
court 10 the event that be has finally To
serve out his term, il is probable that Messrs.
HAvemeyer and Searlcs, Of the Sugar Trust,
will be invited to undergo the same punish
ment unless the majesty Of the law and of
the Senate COMMITTEES is satisfied by the SEN
tence 10 the Chapman case.

A BLOW FROM THE SHOULDER

n DLOW HhOAh 4HW DHNcADDAh'
The editor of the Springfield Republican
gives the following strong thrust at the par
ty in power in the National House Of Rep
resentatives:
"Young Mr.. Bailey, leader of the Demo-
cratic minority Of the House, is showing a
pretty level head in not storming around
because the majority do not care TO egis
late. In the first place, he and his follow
ere are powerless; in the second, they are
leaving 70 the Republicans full scope and
full responsibility; in the third, they would
be absurd 10 ask the majority 10 legislate
when, according 10 their view, the majority
never legislate without inturing the coun'
try"
That is the whole matter In nutshell
Give the Republicans all the rope they want.
That is the Democratic policy, and it is good
policy because 1t is dictated by common
sense, suggested by the situation and en-
phasized by current events.
The Democrats are in the minority, and
they can only make themselves ridiculous
and call public attention away from the at
titude of the Republicans by attempting to
do what they have not the power To do
Why should the Democrats engage in the
futile performance Of trying to prevent the
Republicans from carrying out their ad
tournament program They are unable to
prevent it, and so why should they make
fuss over something which they cannot pre-
vent, and for which the Republicans are
alone responsible.
Some say they want to enter "protest."
But under all the circumstances we think
that dignifled opposition is more effective at
this time than all the protests that can be
made on the floor. This whole matter is in
the hands Of the people, and no party in the
history Of the country has been watched
more closely than the public is now watch
Ing the Republicans.

GREECE AND TURKEY.

The war between Turkey and Greece,
which has been threatening for several
weeks, seems To have begun. and the next
few months will bring some very interest
ing news.
While Greece seems q power too little to
give successful combat To the army of the
Sultan, the history Of sixty years ago shows
that what Greece lacks in size 1t makes up
In power.
To-day Turkey is weaker than 1t was
when Greece secured its freedom, and the
plucky little kingdom is much stronger.
With a war upon its hands, Turkey is
also facing revolts along its entire border
and at home. The present Sultan is very
unpopular. and the many Christian subjects
under his sway are eager for the opportu-
nifty 70 strike for freedom.
For these reasons the fighting in Europe
may not be confined exclusively to the
Greeks and Turks. The sword has been
drawn and before it is sheathed the entire
Balkans may have been drenched with
blood, and some OF the thrones Of Europe
may have toppled over before the indigna-
ton Of the masses over the support OF
Christian nations TO the barbsric Turk.
