There is still some sense of de-
cency left in the party in power in
this state after all, it seems. 1t was
proposed by the Democratic ma
chino in St. Louis to have such 1,
law passed at tho present session
of tho General Assembly that
would turn the school board of St.
Louis public schools into branch
of tho Democratic partisan machine
which is now rough riding over the
rights of the people in that city.
The plan is so vicious that even
the Democratic papers had to de-
no,,ncc it and leading citizens of
both parties went before the House
educational committee to appeal for
an adverse report against the meas
ure. There seems to be some as
surance now that the committee
will report unfavorably upon the
bill.

The first bill passed at the pres
ent session of the Legislature, and
to which the Governor has already
added his signature, is one which
provides for a county board of
health, to be composed of the
County Judges of each county and
a reputable physician, to he ap-
pointed by the County Court
These boards will have the same
power us the State Board of Health
respecting quarantine regulations
and the prevention and spread of

tious diseases. The law is a good

The Arkansas Legislature hav-
ing followed the example set by the
Legislature of Missouri in passing
resolutions of sympathy with the
Filipino insurgents, the Fort
Smith "Elevator,'' ono of the lead
ing Democratic papers of Arkan-
sas, says that in passing such a
resolution the members of the Ar
kansas House, ''have violated
their oaths of office. They have
put politics above patriotism with
Il wanton Disregard Of duty that is
criminal" The same criticism
may apply to the members Of the
Missouri House. In the long run
such reasonable actions will be
found to he the poorest kind of
politics.

1t seems to have become appar-
ent to the Democrats that they
will, sooner OF later, have to re.
store Missonri's school funds in &C
tual cash, and what is bothering
them most is how they are
going to get The money without
confessing that the school fund is
not a fund, but debt. The peo-
ple of Missouri will find out in
time that the Republicans were
telling the truth about the loot OF
the school funds.

With majority of 16 in the
Senate and 40 in the House it looks
like a piece Of imbecility for the
Democrats to charge the Republi-
can minority as the real cause of
obstruction to beneficial legislation
by the General Assembly. With
the majority the party in power
has it could pass any measure ii
is inclined to, were it not for
the ''unworthy influences" exerted
over the Democratic members.

A bill to regulate railroad fare

A bill to regulate railroad fares,
reducing thom to two cents mile,
is again before the Missouri Legis-
lature. Tie measure is bringing
forth much protest from railway
employees, who take the position
that reduction of fares would be
followed by a reduction of their
wages. 1t is quite true that this
would probably be one of the con-
sequences Of the bill should it be
made law, but the railroad en-
ploycs need hardly feel npprchen-
sivc of the bills passing both
houses. There is good reason to
believe that the measure was mover
introduced with the purpose of en-
acting it into law, but simply tc

Mr.. Alex. Murray, who is ever inves-
tigating why's and wherefores, has, to
lis satisfaction at least, solved our
winter problem. His theory is that
the reason we have not had any cold
weather this season is on account of
the tariff; that since Mckinley and
Mark Hanna have been reelected they
put such a tariff on ''cold' that our
Canadian friends cannot afford to ship
their surplus cold into the United
States. therefore, we have to depend on
Alaska. Alex is genius in his way

Quality Counts.

1t has been calculated that re-
garding Il bar Of iron rs raw ma
terial, if made into hurseshOes II
becomes worth s12, if into table
knives $3.50. if into needles 1856,
if into penknife blades $3.50, if
into button buckles $500 and if
into watch springs $4,000. The
idea is worth carrying into the live
stock industry. The live stock
growers raw material are the new
born animal and the feed that grows
maintains and fattens it. We can
not all hope to go to the ''watcI
spring" length and make beef cat
tie that will bring $3.50 per pound,
but there are none of us who need
stop at the ''horseshoc" point and
sell cattle at the price that scrub
cattle command. The whole mat
ter is within onr control if we only
think so. If we give the new born
calf the right kind of a start, by
the .se Of proper heredity in the
breeding stock employed, and then
push him to II remarkable age ON
the right kind of feed stuffs, prop
crly fed, we can at least make him
into the knife blade or needle grade
Of which the illustration we offer
speaks. Of course those who pre-
fer to make cheap horse shoes will
keep at it, but our advice to every
reader who is engaged in the live
stock industry is to try and make
something better.-Live Stock In

Speaking Of La Grippe, an eminent
physician of the Valley suggests that
it spreads too rapidly to be communi-
Gated by either germ or gas. He be-
Iieves it is caused by a negative cleo
trical state Of the surface Of the earth,
or efficiency of electricity. The phys
ical man, by abstraction, partakes of
this deficiency, and is lessable to resist
debilitating influences. The disease
may be avoided by charging the system
with electricity and insulating it, u.s.
ing rubber shoes and boots; insulating
chairs, bedStead>, etc to prevent the
electricity from passing from the body.

 Every friend of Postum is urged to write and each letter will be held in high esteem by the company, as an evidence of such friendship. while the little boxes of gold and envelopes of money will reach many modest writers whose plain and sensible letters contain the facts desired although the sender may have but small faith in winning at the time of writing.
 Talk this subject over with your friends and see how many among you can win prizes. It is a good. honest competition and in the best kind of cause Cut this statement out for 1t will not all bear again.

John G. Bradley, clerk of the Criminal Court, yesterday morning filed petition in the City Court for writ of man. damus, seeking ito have William S. Mor- row, who has been appointed hard labor agent by the board of revenue. to appear and show why he should not pay the money he had received for convict hire over to the complainant. The filing of the mandamus means that test of the right of the board of revenue to change the system of collecting and disposing of the money derived from the hire of the coun- ty convicts.
 The facts set forth by the complainant are that the county convicts are leased, the amount of their hire being paid quar- terly, and shows the total amount for the quarter ending June 3O 1901, to be $3.9T.25. A list of the convicts hired out Is submitted and the name of Ali Moore, the first on the list, Is used to make the test
 The complainant declares that the rev. enue derived from the hire of Moore amounts to $6.6O. Demand was made on the defendant for this amount and 1t was retnSeu. The complainant declares that ne believes 1t is his duty, and has baen 50 advlse> that he has authority to collect this money. and asks that a writ of nan- damrs be issued to compel the defendant to appear and show cause why the money had not been paid over.
 This moneypassed through the hands of Clerk Bradley before the change was made and the costs were paid first in- cluding solicitors fees, sheriff's fees and clerks fees. The new system provides that the money go to the hard labor agent who turns it over to the county treasur> CT. and the officials must wait until tho term imposed as punishment is worked out ilf.'-i '
