TRUE AMERICAN PRINCIPLES.
Melvin H. stearns, of St. Louis, Writes
a Sensible Letter to the Mayor
of Bowling Green.

Sometime since the LEDGER, after
noticing that the Bowling Green
Council had repealed the curfew Law,
wrote to the Mayor of that city for its
reasons in taking the action. His
answer was published in the LEDGER
and telegraphed to the Globe Democrat
st. Louie.
The Bowling Green Times this week
contains the following:
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 10.
Hon. J. d. Kincaid, Mayor Bowling Green:
DEAR sIR:-I have read In the
Globe Democrat of this morning youl
letter to the Mexico EVENING LEDaEE
giving your reasons why your Board
Of Aldermen have repealed the cur
few law. You have struck the key
note in our system of government a
note that seems to be rapidly being
lost sight of by governing bodies
both state and municipal.
There are entirely too many people
who apparently have no business Of
their own to attend to who are going
up and down endeavoring to attend
to the business OF others, and theiE
success in influencing Legislative
bodies to pass such laws as the curfew
shows the lack of thought usually ex-
ercised by those who make the laws.
Mayor Ziegenhein gave this move.
ment a slap in the face here, but have
not before seen the true reasons
against the law so clearly and COM
pactly stated.
l congratulate Bowling Green on
having q city government and .
mayor who understands American
principles. Yours very truly,

Joseph J. Eldridge, of BeIlair, Fla, /,

Hillsboro, Fla, Press, in which there
is three-quarters OF q column write
up Of the golden anniversary of the
marriage Of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Isaac Eldridge, who formerly lived in
Mexico. In part the article says;
Mr.. Eldridge was born in the parish
of Freshwater, IsIe of Wight, 70 years
ago, coming to ths United States
when 20 years of age. Mrs. Eldridge
was born in New York II years since.
They were married in Naausa, ILL.,,

, I felt deeply for Mr.. Jenkins, the
honored and honorable member from
Jasper. He Is a minister OF the gos-
pei, q preacher OF the Christian
church, a Populist, and he was ''jay-
hawked," laughed at, and iibed, until
he, no doubt, regretted that he ever
mentioned the fact that an attempt
had been made to bribe him.
The House, that is a majority, seems
to regard this infamous and barefaesS
attempt to disgrace minister OF God
as huge joke. The scene was act
ually disgusting.
Finally the vote came, and 10 stood
91 to s9-a majority Of so in favor
OF the bill.
