The Best Food for intellectual


No man can vote intelligently unless
he thinks intelligently. In this time Of
"wars and rumors of wars" the greatest
aid to intelligent thought is that news
paper which is greatest and best.
Important political issues are daily
growing more important. An intelligent
understanding of the policy of nation
or a great political party is something
to be desired, and it is the dutyof every
citizen to thoroughly informed himself
upon the leading topics of the day.
The Semi Weekly Republic is the
greatest and best of all newspapers. Its
'telegraphic and cable news service
eXcells that of any other paper. 1t prints
the new news fully; not imaginative
occurrences, but domestic and world
distant, fully authenticated facts.
The policies of the great political
parties are now being formed and the
candidates discussed. Now is the time
to subscribe for the best medium of
keeping in touch with the whole world,
The Semi Weekly Republic.
No less worthy of attention is The
Republics Sunday Magazine. 1t is re-
plete each issue with the best of special
articles written by the best OF literary
talent. It's beautiful half-tone illustra.
tions have already made it famous and
their quality and quantity will be pre-
served.
News features of absorbing attraction
are illustrated and enlarged upon in
manner equal to the high priced maga-
zines. Events OF current interest are
set forth in entertaining style. There is
humorin its pages, too, and for the bene-
fit Of the ladies the latest Paris fashions
are each week exquisitely illustrated and
described. The Republics Sunday
Magazine is standard.
The subscription price of The Semi
Weekly Republic is 81 per year. The
Republic Sunday Magazine $1.25 per
year. Both papers are now being Offer
ed at the very low price of $i.50 for one
year. To secure this low rate both must

Hon. ]. N. selbert,

It's apparent now that Hon. j
M. Seibert will succeed Sam B. Cook

committee. He will be elected
unanimously by the state conven,
ton at Kansas City in June. No
man 10 Missouri is better equipped
for the somewhat difficult task Of
filling the vacancy that will be left
by the retirement Of Mr.. Cook, than
is Mr. Seibert. His broad knowledge
OF the politics of the state and his
acquaintance with people all over
with Missouri his experience energy
and powers Of organization eminent
ly fit him for taking charge of the

Trusts.

There is plenty of reason for
believing that at least three Of the
most unpopular and oppressive
trust combinations IN the country
have given notice to MIR, Hanna and
the President that they do not IN
tend to be held up to public scorr
in the Republican platforms of the
year, no matter how necessary that
course may be regarded by the
machine managers. They have al
ready allowed their interests to be
menaced in such ways more than
Is comfortable. If the party which
they own, support and provide with
the means Of corruption cannot
stand by them openly, they demand
at least that it shall keep quiet
about them. In view Of this senti
ment among the magnates who
control the Administration, it is
probable thot there will be a des
perate fight over the trust plank in
the Republican National Platform
of 1900. The result is very apt TO
be u colorloss utteranoe similar to
that at Columbus.--W Washington

of their platforms. With q slmilari-
ty of expression smacking Of SER

through the regulation gamut of
self-laudatlon, congratulatiOn, in.
dorsement, reafiirmation and pro-
found felicitation that we are not

be treason for an American citizen,
acting under the Constitution, to
oppose.
That there is settled purpose
to misIead the people to their own
undoing, is apparent from the
studied articles upon the subordi--
nation of the Constitution, which
American magazines accept. and
publish. which emannate from the
pens Of the conspirators against the
peace and dignity of the United
States.
In the North American Review
for April, Senator Foraker ofObio,
takes the ground now generally
assumed by the Republican poIiti'
clans that the Federal Constitution
is tho organic law only for the
states and does not extend to such
newly acquired territories as Puerto
Rico. But ex.Presldent Harrison,
Senator Hoar, ex-senator Edmunds,
and some other notable Republican
statesmen dissent from this opinion,
and subscribe to the Democratic
doctrine that "the Constitution fol-
lows the flags" President McKin-
ley said substantially the same
thing last August, when he declared
"Our flag does not mean one thing
here and another in Puerto Rico.n
Mr.. Mckinley, however, has since
changed his view ofthe subject, and
the question will be debated among
the people until it is finally decided
by the supreme court of the United
States

agree with him. Garfield James says he
is not home sick but will do his service
on the farm when volunteers are called

hereafter. George Smith looks wise and

"Before the election the white Re

were in cahoot with each other, but
after the election the white Republi-

Republican got all the cahoot."

OVER twelve thousand men are said to
have been thrown out of work by the
new departure of the Steel and Wire
Trust. The Tobacco and Sugar Trusts
have also dispensed with good deal of
assistance. When the Presidential cam
paign opens here will be a good deal of
analyzati9h of the claim that the trust
system assures continuous employment
for all who want to work at high wages.
The truth is that the success of the trusts
depends largely on the cheapness of labor
and the trust managers get their work
done at as low figure as possible, and
when they get overstocked they dis
charge men without compunction. There
is no sentiment about these gentlemen,
