MISSOURI NEWSPAPERDOM

Lees Summit Journal: 1t is useless
for the rural papers each week to
burden their columns with advice to
factions of democracy to get together
The Journals article of week before
last on 1.-The Only Way" will be the
last effort we make to preach right TO
these beligerents. Give the people a
direct primary vote and the troubles of
democracy In Jackson county will end.
The Columbia Herald is very much
in favor of country life and editorially
says: 1.-The census shows the uuex-
pected fact that the increase in the
urban population has not been as large
in the ten years from 1890 to 1900 as
IN the previous decade. Can 1t be that
the drift Of population is away from
the citiesP We hope SO. The con.
gested life of the cities does not tend to
promote the welfare OF the republic.
The prosperity of the country rests at
last upon the farm lands OF the rural
districts. 1t would be a happy, hope
ful change to find the population of the
United States drifting back to the
farms and small villages. No one
should live IN a big city when he can
possibly avoid it. 1t is like living in a
stuffy postofice box for most people,"
Congressman Bnrthold,, of St.
Louis, has given notice of his intention
to go into the courts to contest the
legality OF the recent act of the Mis-
souri, legislation in a%pportioning the
state into congressional districts. Mr..
Bartholdt charges that the re-district-
ing was a rank gerrymander, and as
such has operated to change the politi.
cal status in St. Louis by reducing the
number of republican representatives
from three to one. The Missouri case
will furnish the basis for similar actions
In other states, where like conditions
prevail, particularly in Pennsylvania
and Texas, where the re-dlstrIcting
was on very much the.same plan as in
Missouri. The matter will eventually

Carrollton Democrat: The post
Office department has ruled that letters
that are to be delivered by the rural
delivery carriers require a two cent
stamp the same as If the letter went to
another postofice. Heretofore drop
letters containing a one cent stamp
have been sent out over the routes,
but in the future, Mr.. Goodson says,
he will be compelled to hold them for
postage. Patrons OF the Office who
desire to write to people living on the
rural routes will save annoyance If
they will bear this IN mind.
Carrollton Democrat: The two

Geo. H. Evans, OF the Jeffersonian
retiring, and Geo. H. Thomas assum-
ing control of the consolidated plants.
The name Of the new paper will be
the Leader effersonian. In politics
the paper announces that it will be
absolutely independent. Norborne is
amply able to support one newspaper
handsomely. but not two, and we trust
the new paper will receive the support
of the Norborne people and prosper.

California Dispatch: The State
Tribune of last week IN referring to
the escape OF Bessie Francis, the negro
who assaulted and murdered a white
lady in johnson county, says they are
glad be escaped as it saved the state
from a stain on her fair name. While
we are not in favor of lynch law, yet
there Is an unwritten law that exists in
cases of this kind. The extreme limit
of the law would be a term Of years in

st. Petersburg April 2.-The superior
councillor of tile Chinese legation. Chu-
We-Jte, is continuing the negotiations
as charge d'atfaires regarding the Man
churian agreement. The illness Of the
Chinese minister. Yang-Yu, is now al.
mitted TO be due to apoplexy, which
will incapaciiate him from work prob
ably for long period. 1t is said that
destruction of Chinese bank, com
bined with political cares, is undermine
ing his health.
Unofficial observers scarcely under
stand how doubt can possibly be ell
tertained abroad that China will ulti-
nlately accept the Russian conditions
after it Is apparent that no power is
willing to forcibly support China For,
ns it is urged, while Russia undoubted-
ly prefers to carry though her plans as
made, her diplomatic position would
suffer as little as her military position
from China's refusal to accept what
Russia regards as moderate conditions
of withdrawal.
The correspondent here naturally
knows absolutely nothing about Rus.
sia's plans in the event of China's re.
fusal 10 sign the agreement, which is
certainly not anticipated here now
But a Chinese refusal could easily
cause Russia to drop all negotiations
She might say:
Very WELL This ends the matter
We desired to leave Manchuria, but
you prevent our leaving on terms con
sistent with the protection of our rail
road and other interests"
1t might easily happen that Russia
would regard the contingency mention
ed in the August circular as possibil
iiy as beng an actuality that is, thai
the powers, by warning China against
accepting the Manchurian arrange
ment, had rendered impossible til,
withdrawal of Russia.
