ssThe Evening LEDGER has my
heartiest gratitude for its strong and
steady helpfuiness to all the pastors
who have been In Mexico since I came
to this pulpit. With good viii to all
the churches II published in it's col
unns history Of the life and work
Of every pastor In Mexico. With
heroic effort il gave remarkable and
unrivaled exhibit of the Baptist de-
nomination when the Missouri Baptist
General Association met In Mexico.
The LEDGER has been unspeakably
kind and helpful to me. Its fervent
commendations Of me and OF my minis-
try cheer my soul and overwheIm me
with sense OF unworthiness. To its
editor, r. NJ. White, who is in Eu-
rope, l send across the sea my thank
ful benediction. To the business
manager, B. B. Runkle, the gifted
writer and my faithful friend, and to
VIII @. Hutton, the argus-eyed re-
porter, here in this pulpit express
my profound gratitude and pledge my

DISCARD FALSE IDEALS. !
Cast Aside the Spurious and Accept
Only the Genuine Principles of
Government = Trust
to the People.

Correspondents OF the Ledger.
VANDALIA, Mo-, June 13.-Super-
fetal appearance is no safe index to
merit and nothing but close study
can enable US to discriminate between
the genuine and spurious. Banners
are fioated to the breeze in the sacred
name OF Christianity and others un-
der the guise OF State and National
devotion, all of which may in no wise
pertain to the true loyalty of the
cause espoEsed. The greatest enemy
to any principle is always clothed un-
der the role OF advocate for 1t. The
foe without can be met IN battle ar
ray, but the foe within may remain
unapprehended until sysssla form
ed on just and true principles shall
crumble beneath the perfidy OF its
adherepts. "Truth crushed to earth
will rice again." but not without a
dethronement of its perverted fol-
lowers and false admirers. No gov
eminent was ever founded upon a
more sacred principle than our own
beloved America, and no people are
possessed Of higher and nobIer traits;
but withal there Is danger which
lies, not within the scope of the poor,
weak, demented, outspoken enemy to
society, but In the citadels OF author
ity, pomp and power. Shall we, In
this boasted land OF the brave and the
free, lose sight of the effectual effort
to delude, ensnare and enslave9 The
perpetrator may act from pure
motives, but this in no wise atones for
the disastrous results to follow as the
fruit of such misguided efforts. l
have the utmost confidence In the
manhood, integrity and loyalty Of the
people Of this nation and through
them we shall rise to better con-
ception and execution of the highest
privileges and attainments; but be-
fore this end can be fully reached we
must learn to discard false ideals
and properly define the bounds
through which just condition may
be reached. IL has never been and
never will be accomplished, except
through the intelligence and energy
Of people whose conception of gov
ernment is simply united guarantee
of protection of life and liberty
against every foe, be that foe the red
mouth anarchist or the perpetrator
Of system which, II left unchecked,
would soon dare to know other SOW
ereignty than that OF individual priv
ileges and possibilities. Now, that this
better idea OF human worth is gaining
ascendency in the deliberations OF the
Democratic party, the highest hopes
and most cherished ambition OF every
citizen should be contaminated in the
understanding of what 1t truly means
to be an American.

SAM COOK MAY RESIGN
PLANS OF THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE COMMITTEES CHAIR.
MAN as MAPPED OUT.
WANTS 70 BE SECRETARY OF STATE
1t Is Rumored That Mr.. Cook VIII
vacate the IChairmanship About
January l to Enter Upon
His Canvass.


1t is stated BY members Of the DEM
ocratic State Committee that Chair
man Sam B. Cook probably win resign
as the official head OF the committee
about the first Of January. He Is a
candidate for Secretary of State aud
1t is understood by the committeeman
giving out the information that from
the first Of the year be will want to
give considerable attention to his
campaign and viii ask that someone
else be elected chairman Of the COM
mittee.
The fact that Mr.. Cook is in the
race for Secretary Of State is causing
considerable speculation az to who
viii be selected for the Craftsmanship
Of the committee in the next cam
paign. Not a few have suggested
State Auditor James NJ. Seibert, who
win retire from Office at the end Of
his present term. He has taken an
active part In every State campaign
for the last fourteen years and those
familiar with what Is needed in cam
paigns in the way Of hard work and
effective organization speak in the
highest terms OF his capability and
the results be attains.
Mr.. Cook and MIR. Seibert have
worked together during State cam
paigns for years and their methods
are very much the same. Those who
are advocating Mr.. Seibert for the
head OF the committee point out that
he would know just what to do and
who to rely upon right at the start.
1t is not known, however, II Mr..
Seibert would care to accept this
position. 1t is a hard task at best and
he may feel like resting for time at
the close of his official career. More
over, there may pc others who would
like to have the honor of conducting
a state campaign during g presi-
dental year, although at present IT
does not seem that their identity is
known.
