A Trueisn.

If there is anyone who has
gained the idea that the
prosperity of a town, village or
city is guided by the wealth of
its inhabitants they are
mistaken. History shows us
that in is the uniformity with
which all the citizens pull to-
gether when any important duty
is TO be accomplished that
builds cities and makes them
prosperous. A man with Il
thousand dollars backed up by
genuine interest in the welfare
of his town can do more for it's
upbuilding than a millionaire
who locks up his money and
snaps his fingers at home
progress.-Palmyra Spectator.
The foregoing is trueism
that Palmyra has learned
to its cost. For forty years or
more, it has been one of the
wealthiest towns of the state, a
place where the citizens who
should be progressive and
leaders spend their time COM
putting interest. The result is
the white population is not as
great as it was thirty or thirty
five years ago. A town cannot
stand still. 1t must go for
ward or backwards.

Teddy's Bull.

&" A class of professional non
combatants is as hurtful to the
real health and growth of a ma.
tion as is a class of fire eaters
= n Il And in the long run Qua k
er may be quite as undesirable
a citizen as a duellist. No man
who is NOT willing to bear arms
and fight for his rights can give
a good reason why he should be
entitled to live in d tree com
munity."
From the foregoing one
would naturally suppose that
every time Teddy opens his
mouth it is to let fling a wild
Irish bull, any way the Quak ers,
60, 600 strong in Indiana, for
once have dropped their peace
tactics and have gone after
Teddy.

A Big Flop.

Once upon a time, four years
ago, there was a Travelling
Mems Club in Chillicothe, Mo.
1t consists of 81 members. Four
years ago 65 of them voted for
Mckinley; today poll of the
membership shows 85 for Bryan
and 2 for Mckinley. Quite a
change but not startling for the

try have a daily birds eye view

effect.

Republican, n''Hand-BOOk on Mis-
souri, Politics."

This unique publication will
not be taken seriously, even by
the most rabid republican, but
they will insist upon quoting it
to their uninformed neighbors.
The authors have thrown
figures together in a most aston
ishing way. For example,
they give, on page 139-140, the
Total Cost of the Governors
Mansion" during the twenty six
years under democratic control,
commencing January l, 1873, up
to January 1, 1899. to be 1927,
731.57. This is an average of
81, 912.75 year. They don't
call attention to the fact, shown
on page 139, that duLing eight
years Of republican rule, Jauu-
ary l, 1865. to January 1, 1873,
they expended S97, ,373. 43, an
average CT S12. 171.70 a year.
Then they tackle the subject
of taxation on page 90, and
show that the reduction of the
state revenue tax from 90 cents
to 10 cents in 1899 waslrequired
by the constitution of 1875,
hence the democratic party
can't claim the credit, forget
ting that the constitution of
1875 was framed and adopted
by the democrats. The writer
of the article in question grave
ly informs his readers that the
constitution provides that
"Whenever the taxable proper
ty of the state shall amount to
S7,000,000 the rate shall not
exceed Is cents" and so proud
is be of his familiarity with our
organic law that he puts the
words quoted in capital letters,
He only misses the amount
fixed in the constitution by
1898, 100000, which is as close
as one might reasonably expect
The book is made up of such
stuff, and it is reasonably GER
tain that the book is not in.

In some cases the mileage of
the roads given runs a tritle
over the distance, which makes
the total of the lines roads to
be bought over 1,300. The
total milage of all lines now
leased by the Burlington is
1920, which leaves about 200
miles of controlled tracks to be
taken in. 1t is understood that
at the stockholders meeting
next year all other leased lines
in other states will be bought.
The move will mean con-
siderable to the Burlington

orators here trying to explain
the beauties of Mckinley Ding
ley prosperity. They did not
touch a single point bearing on
their subject. Whatever touches
and burns the retail merchant
also singes the farmer, who is
the greatest consumer. Now
for few examples that can be
verified by every merchant and
all consumers. In 1898 rope was
worth $3.50; in 1900 $40. Barb
wire in 1898 81. %; in 1900 81 40.
In tie two years wire nails
jumped from S1.25 to S4.O0.
Wirecloth from 80 cents to S1.6O-
Steel goods advanced 30 per
cent. Implements in the last
last six months % per cent.
Cutlery and shelf hardware a1-
vauced from 25 to $50 per cent
Fruit cans from 50 to 1925

will be an eye opener for you
