The Missouri Press Association re-
convened at 10 O'Clock Saturday
morning.
President W. r. Painter, Of the
Carrollion Democrat, set the pace this
time, but it was not with q story. He
delivered an address before the meet
ing that created q bot discussion, in
which Colonel Switzler TODD an active
part, as did John W. Jack, Of Mont
gOmery City, and B. B. Herbert, Of
the National Printer-Journalist, OF
Chicago. Mr.. Painter said 10 part;
WORK OF THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.
People who refuse to believe the
truth In the editorial column will
swallow with ease the widest stories
that are given them 10 the local
columns. There Is q difference he
tween the way the general departments
are conducted aud the editorial de-
partment. The local news Is given
with an attempt TO be strictly impair
tial, and hence 1t Is the strong part oil
a paper.
Men who have no use for q paper
politically are the first 10 call on II
for help In matters Of local interest
The minister wants help to get s
crowd at his meetings; the business
man wants the town 10 boom, and be
frequently consults the paper about
the best way TO procure the result
The city officials want to keep all The
bad things they do out Of the paper,
and want TO see the good one insert
ed; in fact, the whole community goes
to the newspaper Office to help pust
along different things.
In all this work the editor Is con
suited, for he is generally q man who
loves bis city and county, and Il
willing to be worked TO death to SCI
them improve. oftentlmes bo is tbt
very head Of these matters, bis opinion
is sought aud his advice taken, but tbi
line Is sharply drawn when be touches
the subject Of politics. then be becomes
as great 9 taker IS was ever graduated
from the new Chinese school. Why
does this condition eKistP The an
swer is simple. 10 n instance botl
the editor and paper seek TO be honest,
Independent, fearless; In the other tbI
editor is forced by the paper TO live uI
with biz pAIiy-be is not independent
often be ls not honest, and Is q genera
rule be is coWardly, for fear he maj
offend some sohemIng politician au'
thereby lose bis influence with thl

SUPREME COURT CASES.
The Federal Court Gsanta the m"ton 70
Advance the Neeiv Cases Two Othsr
CONSTR utioral Gases.

Washington, Oct. l6.-The supreme
court of the United States yesterday
granted the motion Of the government
TO advance the Neely cases and as
signed them for hearing November IL.
The eases came up from the federal
court of New York on the decision OF
Judge Wallace denying a writ OF
labeas corpus. The government is
very anxious for a decision which will
settle the constitutional questions in
yolved. The court also assigned for
the same day the two eases which IN
volve the great question as to whether
the constitution extends over the new
possessions of the United States. One
is the case of Goetz New York to-
hacco importer, appealing from a de-
cision of the United States district
cour, for the southern district OF New
York affirming the decision OF the
board of general appraisers making
tobacco dutiable under the Porto Rico
tariff act. The other comes to the
supreme court under the title -Four
Diamond Rings VS.. the United States" ;"
1t came up on appeal from the federal
court of Illinois. One Peke, a soldier
of South Dakota regiment, which
served in the Philippines, is claimant.
When he returned home from the
Philippines he brought with him the
diamonds. They afterward were
seized by the federal authorities in
Chicago and confscated as smuggled
goods Through Peke's agent suit
was brought to recover them on the
ground that, as the Philippines were
part of the United States within the
meaning Of the constitution, no
impost could be levied, that the dia-
monds were not dutiable and there
fore were unhwfully seized. The
lower court, in both instances, sus-
tanned the action Of the federal au-
thorities.
