doing it for forty years. They have big
business in Philadelphia and have

United States.
They buy cloth by hundreds of thous-
ands of yards, keep about hundred men
busy cutting into suits, hundreds more
tailoring it and sewing it; one man, who
does nothing but buy cloth and Innings
and buttons; another, who designs the
styles Che knows all about what London

your wantsi another, who keeps the big
army of tailorS doing their work right.
1t is one great big perfect-working
machine; and yet the work it does for
you is as individual as if you were their
only customers.
The Fall and Winter Cloths are ready

The pitiful wall Of Governor
Dockery asking the Legislature
not to adjourn without adopting
some measure of means to increase
the revenue of the state ought to
be an eye-opener to such people
as have been laboring under the
impression that the Democratic
party was making the expenses of
the state fit the revenues. The
Governor calls attention to the
fact that unless provision for more
revenue is made the expenses of
the state for the next two years
would exceed the income by over
5000, 900. This is the situation,
then, that confronts MIR. Dockerv's
administration: that notwilhstand

in Missouri within the past two
years, by reason of increased val
uation of all live stock by the

1t is rumored that our Demo-
cratic county officials and many
other leading members of the par
ty are becoming very much disatis-
fed with the policy of their local
party organ, the Independent, and
are discussing the feasibility Of
starting new party paper here.
We felt sure that the Indepen-
dents policy of advocating the re-
duction of official salaries while
Democrats were drawing them
would cause that paper trouble
sooner or later. There is less

As to the Decrease of Farms.

The statistics which pertain to the
increase of farms and their size
show interesting results. The in
crease in the number Of farms
shows that the largest per cent
ACQUIRES to those of medium size.
This is largely due to the fac; that
the large farms have been divided
among heirs. The pioneer who
invested in Il large body of land
WAS desirnus that his children
should each of them own home
stead, so IN his will. or because of
no will, he provided that each
should become the owner Of Il por
ton of the Ia,ernal acres. In 1890
there were 4,564.641 farms. com
prising 623, 3,21S.6l9 acres. The in
crease in improved acreage was
greater than in unimproved. In
1850 the average size of the farm
was 203 acres. In 1890 it had de-
creased to 1877 acres. A great deal
of this decrease is found in the
southern states. The free,nen have
desire to own home, SD that
there has been marvellous increase

acres above that. Economists tell
us that small holdings Tend t. the
wellheing of Il commonwealth

reasonable To suppose that these in
fiuences have brought about the
decrease In the size of the average
farm. 1t is said in an English
work on ''Land Tenure that the

The effort of the Legislature to

The effort of the Legislature to
repeal the ballot publication law
proved abortive. Such a bill pass
ed the House, but when it came up
in the Senate it received only Il
single vote in its favor from that
body. So the law stands as here
tofore and the official ballot will
continue to be published. The
law is a good one and should not
be repealed, and there never would
have been any sentiment aroused
in opposition to it hut for the fact
that a few publishers conceived the
idea that the law gave them license
to raid the county treasures, and
attempted to kill the golden egg
