EVERY county in Missouri will
likely have a fine exhibit at the
Worlds Fair in st. Louis In 1908. 1t
is time to begin to arrange for this
enterprise now. The farmers of Au-
drain county should pay special atten-
tention to planting and growing cere-
ais for such an exhibit. There is no
reason why Audrain county should
not have the best exhibit Of farm
products in the State. We can grow
the best oats; the best corn; the best
wheat; the best potatoes; the best
turnips, and in fact, the best Of every
thing. We can do the same thing
next year. In the meantime the
Business Mems Association, or some
other organization, should take this
matter up and put it in a definite
shape. Audrain county should be
well represented in the stock and
farm products department of the

THERE is absolutely no call for a
third party in this State. Any at
tempt to establish a third party in
this State is simply move to put the
Republican party in power. Along
this line the Jefferson City Tribune
editorially says: bee Meriwether and
his coadjutors are wrong. There is no
need for a third party in this State.
AS far as can be gathered from pub
lished utterances, the proposed new
party, aside from personal ambition
which it is sought to crafty, has two
ends which it hopes to accomplish.
The first is to secure repeal or an
amendment Of the Nesbit law, the
second is to bring about public utili-
ties. Neither Of these purposes comes
or should come within the domain Of
partisan politics. No election law
ought to be unfair. Every honest
voter Is entitled to cast an honest
ballot and have it honestly counted.
II 1t can be shown that the Nesbit
law does not permit this TO be done
then all honest men of every political
party will join in its amendmentor re-
peal. There is no necessity for a
separate political organization along
this line. The public ownership OF
public utilities is a question Of busl-
ness, not politics 1t is more or less a
local question. State ownership is an
entirely different proposition from
municipal ownership. Conditions
differ. The framing of general road
law would be chlld's play compared
with the enactment Of a state pub
lie ownership measure. Already cities
have the power to own water and
light plants. Some have exercised
this power and others will do so.
Those that do not care to go into the
business of municipal ownership may
well be permitted to leave it alone.
The Democratic party of this State
has shown no disposition to be unfair.
Nor is it opposed to local option in
the matter of municipal ownership
There is no need for third party.
