This, while encouraging to those
who have recognized the gross
abuse the State legislative bodies
make of the privilege of selecting
Senators, will probably never
be embodied in the const tuition
for the Senate itself will have to
pass upon 1t, an it is not TO be
supposed that the members of that
body are gong to cut themselves
out Of their own seats. The action
of the House shows, however, what
the sentiment of the various

TIE Htching Law.

There has been mnch discuss
ing, with the eds" left of, among
our people lately abont the ordi-
nance forbidding the hitchlng of
horses and stopping of vehicles on
the streets. The country people
particularly are mad about it,.
They look upOnl it as an hiring
ment upon their rights aud un
warranted interference with q
long established custom. The or
dinance, which has been given TO
the public, through the medium
fence and Tree advertising, is quite
sweeping in lis application, for.
bidding even the milking of a COW
in back alley. The sergeant is
forced to carry outthe law upon
a penalty $500 for each neglect of
duty.
This much should be said: The
ordinance is not a new one. 1t
has been the law of the town for a
long time, but not until now has
all effort been made to enforce it.
We think, with very lit tie
modification, the ordinance "a good
one, and will be generally endors-
ed when better understood, par.
ticuIarly the the provision prob. bit.
ing teams standing in the street
without drivers, and cows run
ming at large.
We understand that the town
will make suitable provisions for
hitching horses, stands for wagons,
buggies &c, below the
Court House square. We doubt
after all, whether the Council
will be able to enforce the ord,nan
ces. The one in regard to the use
of prOfane language OH the street
is often violated, and should
be rigidly enforced.

Mr. Editor:-It was certainly not
my intention to wound the feelings
of any of our goo1 school teachers
or e1- Teachers, by saying what
did concerning or free schools and
its teachers, in the columns of your
good paper few weeks ago But
remember the old sayin :, when ever
the shoe fits the highest we hear the
most complaining. Judging from
this there has been some very tight
squeezing on one OF our ex Teachers
Now as exreacher taught his first
school near Free Stone l we have
plSaS1g recollection of him. W.
also recOllect the shaky stove pipe.
the hole in the top of the no use,
where, when iC rained the rain
would sprinkle through upon the
gentle face of the teacher and
scholars we also recollect the many
miles he had 10 walk to and from the
school exposing himself. TO the
severity of the Poor Valley winters,
but amid all these trials aud diff
tGculties he taught an excellent school
better school than some of his
predecessors taught at the same
school house, one of these teachers
has actually been known to 90 to sleep
sitting upon his bench in time of
school, another one would get drunk
and would have very lively time
with the scholars, one old gentleman
patron of the school, paid the
school call one morning and gave
the teacher some instruction as to
his children. The little teacher
temper rose to fever heat He told
the old gentleman to go home and
TEND to his own business, that he was
running that school. Now, how in the
name of common sense can we
expect parents to manifest the
interest they should as long as ou-
free school teachers are made up of
such material as this? OF course we
have some good teachers, while there
is certain percent of our teachers
that certainly do not do their duty.
while a greater percent of the parents
are too negligent about their chill
dren. l repeat that we ought to have
a compulsory school law to compel
parents to send their children to
school, also an equal compulsory
law to compel our teachers to per-
form their duty, also Ildont believe
any one has right to kick up a dus t
when l say that on: teachers should
be sociable Christian la dies and

Imperialism and the Trusts
Triumphant.

By their sufrages the people of the
United States have reelected the Nc
Hanna outfit, and endorsed its sins
against the Constitution and humanity.
The S outweighs the principles of the
Declaration of Independence, and per-
haps he is a fool who sinks the hog in
himself in Difference to right and JUS
tice. "a full dinner-pail' will no
doubt-if they get it-make amends to
the thousands who meekly obeyed the
commands of their arrogant lords and
masters to '.vote the Republican ticket
or starve." But when the time comes
and come it wlll-that they will be
required to vote the Plutocratic ticket
and starve-then perhaps, a quickened
conscience may make trouble for those
who now think they have a cinch on
all the earth. And then the big stand
ing army will play its part and flood
for gunpowder" be a-plenty. The par
tisan bigots who say .'there is no I'M
perialism" will then be slightly dis
figured, but they'll know more than
they now seem capable of learning.
Yet, if the experience shapes them in
to good. old-fashioned Americans, who
shall say the cost is beyond the result?

Governor DOckery.

By the election of Mr.. Dockery to
the high and honorable office of Gov
ernor of Missouri the voters of this
State have properly testified to their
appreciation of the valuable services
of a faithful public servant and have
insured the wise and conscientious
administration of Missouri's affairs
during the next four years.
Mr.. Dockery, being a Democrat, will
ment, but his first duty is to all the
people of the State and it is a duty
which he recognizes and proposes to
perform. AS the Governor of Missouri
throughout the period of the great
Worlds Fair of 1908 he will labor I'M
der greater responsibilities than would
otherwise be the case. but his opportu-
mites for distinguished service will al
SO be correspondingly increased and
his earnest desire for the best interests
of his State will be far more possible
of its fullest realization.
AS the Worlds Fair Governor of
Missouri, indeed, MI. Dockery is a
choice of singular fitness. His train
ing in public life has been thorough.
He is a broadminded and practical
man and possesses the confidence of
the constructive element of Missouri's
population-the men who accomplish
things and who will of necessity be po-
tent factors in Missouri during the
time of preparation for the Worlds
Fair and while that great exposition is
in progress. He is of digniied pres
ence and appropriately impressive ad-
dress. He will fifty stand before the
world as an excellent type of Missouri
Intelligence and progressive spirit.
The people OF Missouri are to be con-
graduated upon their selection of Mr..
Dockery as their States Governor at a
most important period in its history.
His administration will reflect credit
upon the State and be productive of
ample benefit. And it is safe to pre-
dict that his party, commended as it
already is to Missouri voters, will be
even stronger as the result of his con
troll of the State Government during
the ensuing four years.-St. Louis Re

Every available soldier has been hur-
ried to the scene and the fighting
has not been characterized by any
humanitarian restraints on the part of
McKinley's emissaries.
He and his did all they could to end
the instruction before the election.
After the Philadelphia convention he
even took the unusual course of declar-
ing an amnesty to insurgents who
would lay down their arms. All these
operations have been unsuccessful.
The Philippine i~nsurrection is there
to stay as the insurrection in Cuba was
there to stay. Spain was unable to
suppress the i~nsurrection in the Philip
pines, although she was much better
equipped for the work, both as to
government and geography, than the
United States. Spain was closer to
the Philippines than the United States
and she had naturally a colony-farm-
ing system of government while the
United States have not and do not
want to have.-St. Louis Republtc.

How Russia Corners Sugar.

In an interesting article on this sub
iect a writer in a recent Fortnightly
Review says that each ear the Minis
ter of Finance fixes the amount of
sugar which shall be produced in the
empire and sets the price at which 1t
shall be sold. The average domestic
consumption is about 1, 900, 900 pounds.
This is announced as the legal limit of
production which shall be put upon
the market during the year. In addi-
ton to this, it is allowed to manufac-
ture 1S0, 900, 900 pounds more, which
is placed in storage. The 1000, 000,-
900 pounds, as it is sold. pays an ex-
else tax of % cents a pound. If at any
time through increased demand sugar
becomes worth more than the price
fixed by the government, the $50, O00,-
900 pounds in reserve are allowed to
reach the market free of excise duty.
II this does not supply the market at
the legal price, the government itself
will buy from foreign countries enough
sugar to supply the need for a bear in
fuence upon the price. This has been
done by Russia twice during the past
ten years. This system, of course,
precludes any export business in sugar,
but the Russian government does not
believe hat the exporting of sugar
from Russia can be made profitable or
advisable, so it does not encourage it.

He Cannot Suppress 1t.

Those who contend that the only
cause of the continuance of the Philip
pine insurrection is the agitation in
the United States attending the Presi-
Dental campaign to have an
entirely mistaken idea of the situation
there. Letters from American soldiers
in the Philippines and the facts known
in this country regarding the opera
tions in the Philippines show the
error.
Ever since the Philippine insurrec-
ton broke out the Mckinley admins
tration has allowed no obstacle to
stand in the way of its suppression.

DANIEL Curley, drunk, took a dummy
from the front of Simon Fabian's store,
and was fined $25 for his amusement.
When asked the value of the suit Fabian
replied: well, that depends. If l get
a good customer l get SO to $15. or
as much as / can get out of him. If
/ can get no more than s. l take that"
The Chicago journal is authority for
the above, and it does not state that
Fabian was arrested for obtaining
money under false pretense, but If that
statement is not an acknowledgment
of it | do not know what is. For if
he gets $15 for an article worth only
s. by pretense of its being worth more,
what is that but false p%retense? You
may call it business, if you will, and
soothe your scared soul with the uuc-
ton of custom, but it is robbery of the
worst form-the form of sw1ndling the
people who trust your word and who
aid and sustain you. just let some
working mule represent a thing to be
different from what it is, and see how
quickly the law will gobble him up.
But the traders, like the king, can do
no wrong.-AppedL to Reason.
