SENATOR VAEDrvER agrees with
the Mexico LEDGER that corrupt fus-
ion dealers are a curse to the country,
and along this line he introduces a
bin In the Missouri Senate directed ct
fusion dealers. 1t defines the Central
Committee Of 8 political party, and
provides that, for the purpose of
making nominations to ill vacancies
on q ticket previously nominated, 8
majority of all the members Of 3 Gen.
tral Committee shall be necessary to
take action, and that the committee
shall not have power to delegate its
authority to make nominations TO any
person or number of persons, and
that they act consequent upon any
such delegation OF authority shall be
null and void. The section aimed
particularly at fusion Is as follows:
THAT no Central Committee shall
have the power to substitute or to I'LL
any vacancy with the name of any
person who is not known to be of the

REFERRING to the State Fair bill

the State TFibuns, published at Jeffer.
son City, No, says;
1.-THE State Fair bill, championed BY
Representative CT. Clark, of Audraiu
County, win probably pass. The meas
r provides for the establishment Of
8 State Fair under the control Of the
State Board Of Agriculture and the
A~djutant- General, at some point in
Missouri easily accessible. Towns de-
string the Fair are asked 10 guarantee
$50 acres of land suitable for the loca-
ton. The arguments in favor of the
establishment Of the Fair are well
stated. The blu does not carry with
IT an appropriation, q fact which
brings 10 its support many who would
not otherwise favor 1t.
A half dozen towns will enter the
contest for the Fair II the bin passes.
Among these are expected TO re Mex

and Columbia

IT is impossible for a county seal
country weekly paper to be made
a~rst-class and yield q profit at q dollar
per year, and newspaper men through
out the entire country are finding this
out. Referring to this matter, the
Fourth Estate says: From here and
there, the country over, come reports
Of advance in subscription price from
the merely nominal dollar-R-year to
which many publishers have reduced
during the past few years. Such &
move is a sensible one and can be
msintained In all but q very few in
stances. As 8 general proposition, II
may be safely asserted that no good
local weekly should be published at 90
low a price, and that any publisher
now bound to that figure and can get

PoTITIcAL HYpnnRlrEs

The Salisbury MO- Democrat agrees
with The Mexico LEDGER that some Of
our Democratic leaders are the rank
est kind Of hypOcriies. whils bleeding
tie lobby on every possible occasion
they demagogue with the rank and file
Of the party BY crying out against the
lobby, and accuse every Democrat
they cannot . Of being connected
with the lobby. The Democrat, along
this line, says.
"The Democratic voters of Missouri
have q bard fight before them. A fight
that win require energy, perseverance,
and skin 70 win. The honest Demo-
cratic voters not only have the Re-
publican party to deal with, but have
q WORSE foe, these so-calIed political
leaders who T shoulder 10 shoulder
with the corporations and trusts, and
who compose the lobby ct the Mis-
souri, Legislature, q body Of men who,
for years, have blocked legislation in
the interest OF the people and who
have literally ruled the legislature,
putting such men In Office as they
know are their friends, or mel whom
they a control, or whose opinions
they q mould to their own selfish
IDEAS. We believe 1t to be q fact, as one
paper has stated, that those men who
are pretending to be friends of the
people and who are the loudest In
crying Down with the lobby are the
very men who T receiving money
from corporations and who 60 right
ahead and practice Just the opposite
from what they preach. There "a
hypocrisy among the leaders In Mis-
souri, politics, but there is q remedy
for 1t. Keep your eyes on these men
and see which Of them are friends Of the
people and who vote in the interest Of
the people. The time lie not far dis
tant when you viii get q chance to
relegste them to the rear and put in
their places men who are honest and
men whom you can trust. There are
plenty of them In Missouri and when
