Drifting Toward DespOtIsm.

The recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States, affirming
that congress, creature of the con-
stitution, possesses powers not granted
to it by that instrument is a long and
dangerous step backward toward med
ievaliSm. And were it not for the
fact that the decision encountered
vigorous opposition from the four
ADLER members of that august tribu-
nal of the people of America, and of
| the world, would have serious cause
to fear for the future of individual
liberty and popular government.
The decision, fortunately finds no
echo in the American heart, but on
the contrary awakens feeling of in
security hitherto unknown to Ameri-
cans. The effect of the decision is
the unmistakable awakening to the
dangers besetting our institutions of
large class who have hitherto been
content to follow their respective vo-
cations in the belief that century's
work of the school and the church
had placed American ideals and inSti-
buttons beyond the pale Of danger.
This class has in the past largely re-
Trained from active participation in
politics, continuing the pursuit Of
their choice without the least fear
that the success of either party would
send the country to demnition bow
vows. Hence the decision of the su-
preme court, attacking the very cita<
del of our liberties, comes to them as
shock, warming them of the presence
of an insidious disease in the body
polite.
The attitude of such men has been
construed by politicians as Indifference
to changes of any kind that did not
directly affect their own personal ease
and comfort. But the recent IN
American decision of the highest
court of the land has at last aroused
them, and their influence will hence
forth be felt in a way that win disil-
fusion the dream of imperialists.
1t is but short step from denying
the guarantees Of the constitution to
the inhabitants of territories to deny
ing them also to the inhabitants OF
states and abolishing the constitution
altogether. After the former becomes
an accomplished fact the underlying
principle Of constitutional govern
ment is destroyed and expediency OF
fancied necessity may at any time
prompt the great corporate and money
interests to declare for legislative alb

The TownLiar.

There is always confidential lie be-
ing whispered through the commun-
ity about some one and everybody is
admonished to say nothing about it,
and finally everybody knows it except
the person in question. If you have a
friend who is being made the subject
of town gossip it is your duty to tell
him about it. We do not believe in
Matching up trouble for anyone, and
we dislike to see one convicted in the
midst of the people without chance
to explain the matter.
1t would be good thingif lies were
painted on the atmosphere in which
they were told with the liars picture
attached to them.
There would not be SO many lies
told, but the atmosphere woald be
full of word pictures and what beau
tiful selection it would be!-Marys-

LOCAL MENTION
DO Our DeIlaquents.


We sent out on the first day OF July
statements to those Of our subscribers
whose unpaid subscription dates back
as far as 1898. OF course there are
not a great many of them, and the
amount owed by each individual is
small except in a few cases where the
subscription has run several years.
But in the aggregate these amount to
a considerable sum and is greatly
needed just now in making the paper
what it ought to be. We regard our
subscribers as persons of good bust
ness judgment, who would no more
be offended by statement of past
due account from the newspaper than
they would by similar notice from a
merchant. The old idea of an Sim
pertinent dun" belongs back among
the relics of the early 10Th century
and has no place in the progressive
business methods of the 10th. The
case is just this way, your account is
past due. 1t is our business to notify
you of this fact. We have done so.
It then becomes your business to pay
the same, which we tr ust you will do
at your earliest convenience.

The Fourth.

The people of Phillips county cele-
brated the 125th anniversary of the
independence of the United States
with more than their usual zeal, for
as poor Richard ouce said ''you never
miss the water until the well goes
dry" so in the first year of the tenn
pire" the people begin to realize more
than ever the value of their liberties
under the old regime.
At Hillside an immense crowd
gathered under the auspices of the
Woodmen camp and performed
program that was highly entertaining.
Mrs. Fred KinSey read the Declare
tion of independence, and w. Guy
Bisse1 delivered the speech of the
day. Music was furnished by Good
rlch'S string band. A heavy rainStOrm

but all enjoyed the celebration.
At Agra the crowd was large and
enthusiastic. The Agra band fur
nished the music. Rev. Irwin deliv-
cred the grafton. A complete pro-
gram of sports, was carried out includ-
ing base ball game, calathumpian
parade and various other contests.
From Prairie View comes a report
of large crowd of celebrants who
gathered together in honor of the day.
Hon. N. B. Mccormick delivered a
very eloquent Grafton. The program
of amusementS were very good and
consisted of various contests.
A large number of Phillipsburg peo-
pie went up to Norton where they
report great time was had.
About twenty-five people of this
city drove out to McIlvain's grove
and enjoyed quiet celebration of the
Fourth amid the cool shade OF Deer
Creek. A delicious lunch was pro-
vided by the ladies and all enjoyed
the outing. Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Page
were the moving spirits in getting up
the party and they proved themselves
o. K. on arrangements. Those max
ing up the party were Mr.. and Mrs.
Page, Mr.. and Mrs. Fleming and son
Don, Mr.. and Mrs. Tooker and daugh-
ter Fay, Mr.. and Mrs. Hartman and
children, Mr.. and Mrs. Reynolds and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Ransom, Mr..

VIII Stop The Howl.

The Globe. Democrat failed to
accept Gov. Dockery's invita-.
ton to examine the State books
so the st. Louis Star, Repub
iican paper, decided to take up
the work Gov. Dockery has
accepted the Stars request to
examine the books and in a
short time the Star will have Il
corps of expert accountants at
work on the books of the state
looking for the fraud and mis-
management Of the state tipan'
ce, winch the Globe Democrat
has howled so much about. In
their work these accountants
are to be given all the assist
ance possible by the state OF.
icials. Gov. Dockery has ad.
vised the Star:
First That there will be no
limitation to the proposed eX.
animation as TO its time or
scope.
Second That you can rely
upon the aid and cooperation
Of all State officials whom you
think can serve you in accom-
complishing the most thorough
investigation.
.is stated IN my letter TO the
Globe, Democrat. if there has
been any abuse of the public
funds, or dishonesty practiced
in any Of the departments, the
people ought to know it.
If there has been. as l assert
an honest counting of the
public moneys on the part Of
the State officials, it is libellous
upon the good name Of the
state for any newspaper to
charge the contrary.
Now ;et the examination by
the Star be thorough and hon
est and let it tell the people
how it finds the State books.
Democrats have no more right
to steal from Missocri than
have our Republican friends
and we certainly would object
to Republicans stealing the
copies money.
