THE MEXICO MISSOURI MESSAGE
makes its bow before the people of
Mexico and Audrain county this
week. Weare here for two reasons,
.namely-to get Il living and to fol-
low up the endeavor to fill place
of usefulness.
There is field here, and mum.
ber of Mexico's best citizens have
urged that we step into the place,
so here we are.
The MESSAGE editor has been
connected with the Laddonia Herald
for fourteen years, was born and
raised in the county, has helped
pay the county's taxes since his
majority, and hence feels that he
comes with recommendation other
than stranger.
The MESSAGE will always be-
found standing up for Mexico,
Audrain County and Grand Old
Missouri. The paper will be
Democratic in politics, sound to
the core. "l6 to l." an income
tax, antibanknote despotism, 4"
and anti-imperialism are among
our deepest political convictions.
We are here to stay and to sue
coed. Prove the MESSAGE if it
shall not be worthy of your conf
dence and patronage. Come to see
US. Give us a chance at your legal
printing, job work, and so ON.
We repeat, come to see us.

The Beers have been accom-
pllshlng great things in Africa. The
st. Louis Republic this week had
the following editorial upon the
situation:
Actual conditions at the close
of the third week of the British
BOer war would carer have been
pronounced impossible of develop
ment within so brief a period.
1t must be remembered that
when the two nations stood await
ing the word that should precip-
itate hOstilitIcs all the British talk
was of prompt invasion OF the
Transvaa Republics territory.
The English troops were on the
frontier and eager to advance.
Genera White wrote q friend in
England that he had a sufficient
force, not only to hold the positions
taken but to bring the war to a
speedy and triumphant conclus ion.
Instead of invading the Trans
vaal, however, the British have
been forced backward 100 miles
more. They have suffered sew
eral serious defeats. At least two
of their earrisons, one containing
p Iactically the entire British army
now in the field in South Africa,
are hemmed in, with capture we'll
nigh inevitable. British prestige
has suffered UNNECESSARILY. The
Beers are practically in control of
all Natal. The Afrikander spirit
throughout South Africa has been
so vastly stimulated as to make a
Dutch revolt in Natal and the Cape
Colony reasonably certain.
Not nee Great Britain's war on
her colonies in this country has
there been so astounding a record
of the success in war of the weaker
against the stronger force. Ameri-
cans are proud to believe that the
"unconquerableness' of their Rev.
olut;onary sires was due to that
spirit of liberty which dictated death
rather than submission to tyranny.
The Beers claim that they are up
held by thu same spirit. 1t must be
confessed that they are making
much the same record as did the
Americans of IS, Is history about
to repeat itself with the Union
States of South Africa to stand as
permanent proof of the repetition9
