AuDRATN COUNTY ought to make a
good appropriation every year and
have a frst-clnss exhibit at the 81.
Lonis Pair. Such an exhibition a
Galloway county had this year Is
worth thousands Of dollars 70 any ag-
ricultnral community. Along this line
the Globe Democrat says; "Jamea A.
Gregory, an old and wealthy resident
Of this city, was much interested In
the Galloway county agricultural ex-
hibit and took great pleasure In cali
ing the attention OF sair visitors TO IT.
Mr.. Gregory authorizes The statement
that n Missouri counties will send
similar EXHIBITS 70 the fair next year
be viii take personal charge OF them
and see that each county 90 repre-
scented lie properly looked after and
advertised. CaIlaway's exhibit at
tracted 90 much attention this year
that il 10 quite probable other counties
viii follow suit next"

TEE Moberly Democrat editorIally
sAys: That very popular and widely
known journalist r. NJ. White, Of the
Mexico LEDGER, in an article upon
trnsts and government ownership OF
railroads, arraigns the railroads in the
following trenchant language:
"What horns are to the bull, Whist
claws are TO the tiger and what ten
tncles are 10 the devil hsh, railroads
are to the trusts. Public ownership
Of public franchises is 8 motto that
should be pasted IN the Democratic
hat.n
TIE policies and acts Of these cor
porations are every day driving the
lovers OF liberty and Independence to
the advocacy Of government owner
ahip Of al transportation companies.
While every true Democrat lie bitterly
opposed to any policy hat eyen looks
toward centraiizstion, yet these cor
porations under Republican rule have
secured speh 3 hrm grip that Il seems
nothing but radical measures will
loosen their grasp. mr.. White further
says that in Germany, where the gov
eminent owns and controls the rail-
roads, the poorest merchant in the
empire can ship his goods from one
end Of the country to the other as
cheaply as any merchant prince. II
this was { fact IN this country, iDdi-
vidual Independence could and would
assert itself and the trust would exist
only long enough to dissolve. We
think we E many evils that might
grow ont OF government ownership Of
transportation companies at the same
time, We DO not believe they could
possibly equal The oppression Of the
present system. The points made BY
Mr.. White are certainly strong and
convincing.

TIE Democratic party believes in
home rule, and every county in the
State that wants 3 Democratic prim-
airy should have one. While a primary
by counties might result in great
good for the party, a State primary
might bring about the opposite. The
Democratic party in Audrain county
might want . primary while the party
10 another county might want q cou-
vention. Let each county look after
lie own Affairs and arrive at It's con-
illusions in reference TO the ticket IN
such . manner as the local committee
may decide. In this way, IT appears
to the LEDGER as though the very
best results viii be obtained and hsr-
mony prevail.
