 Coucilman Mayer threw a bright gleam of sunshine on the matter by saying that before its reading he want ed to make a few remarks.

MANY PLRNTS

Have fragrant blossoms. Many others are fragrant only when crushed.
 There is one which is fragrant in bloom and fragrant also when its ripened fruit is crushed and made into a drink. eWe know it as coffee.
 To enjoy the most delicious fra grance of coffee in its highest state of perfection you should buy what you are sure is coffee, pure and simple, without any adulteration.
 Chase & Sanborn's Coffee IS a pure coffee. What is more, 1t IS the best coffee that can be raised by experienced planters. Furthermore every bean is selected and the same care is maintained in roasting and packing, until it reaches the con sumers' hands.
 Because it is pure it is healthful and the price at which it sells is so little in advance of cheaper grades that one stops and wonders why any one should not always have Chase & Sanborn's Seal Brand Coffee, or any one of their high grade brands which come in Parch. ment lined colored bags.

Same Here.

Illinois has 10 general election
this year. vet it cannot withhold
its interest from the other great
states whose people are about to
declare, directly or Indirectly, their
attitude toward the Federal admin
lslra'ion.
Sensible men can reach but one
conclusion. 1t was terSely phrased
by Senator Hanna in his speed,
on Saturday at the opening OF the
Oiiio cumpaicn-''I.ct well enough
alone"
Whatever fault in matters of de-
detail thinking Americans may find
with fhe party in power. they
must confess that on al! broad
lines of policy it has done we'll for
them and for the nation. Al peace
with all the world, respected
abroad as never before, prosperous
at home a, never before, the Unit
cd States under Republican rule
leads thc van Of human progress
and stands forefront Of ci,iiiza-
ton.
Nowhere else in the world is
material comfort SO universally
diGused, nowhere else is the desire
for the highest and best things Of
life so easily satisfied. nowhere
else is opportunity 50 wide open to
the humblost.
We have lost. to he sure. the
leader whose name had become a
synonym for fair opportunity and
universal prosperity. But the
Republican party is resolutely
marching on TO those greater fields
of achievement toward which Viii
liam Mckinley was leading. TO
the place OF the fallen leader has
sprung one whom all the world
halls as the embodiment Of The
American spirit. And there is no
haIting.
Under Republican control the
little evils which yex us viii be
cured and the great goods we en-
JOY will be preserved. What
change OF politics or leaders can be
for the better!

Whatever Auditor Aliens re-
port may show, if it is ever forth
coming, will not go far towards
settling the question as to whether
the books are right or wrong. The
Democrats al!ege that the figures
presented by the Republicans to
sustain their charges of misman-
agement of the states finances, are
garblcd and untruthful. If the
prospective report from the Audi
tors office shows the accounts
comparatively straight, it will
not convince amy Republican that
the figures given out are correct
and truthful. Eacl, party will still
maintain that the other is lying.
How can the truth be arrived at:
The Republicans have repeatedly
called for the cnly way by which
convincing settlement can be
reached, and that is, by a lecisla
tive committee composed of alher
ents of both parties. Every time
such a committee has been asked
for in the Legislature the Demo
Gratis voted it down, which alone
is sufficient to create the suspicion
that the Democratic party is afraid
to risk bipartisan investigation
of its conduct Of the states tinan-
ces. Therefore. as long as the
Democrats are in a position to
block legislative investigation Of
Of the books we will no tget ut the
truth. The only solution OF this
much mootcd question lies in The
election of Il Republican legisia-
ture.

Lots of Ell.

Every editor has received them.
The postmaster sends them to the
editor. The postmaster is not to
blame. For instance, there was
Il man by tie name of-welI, say
Tom Short, who sent us three no.
tices to stop his paper-he did not
want it any longer. We wondered
what was the matter. Upon in
vestigating the subscription book
we found Tom short S12. He
never had paid us cent, and vet
he stopped his paper, as a matter
of economy-to Us. He didn't
want us to lose any more on him,
A few days afterward, Short was
at church and bis meIodious tenor
rang out clear in that all soul-stir-
ring song Jesus Paid 1t Ar. He
might have been mistaken, but his
earnestness impressed us, SO the
next day we sent him receipt in
full, begging his pardon for not
knowing that be had made an as
signment Of his liabilities with the

New Good Roads Plan.

The good roads topic is an al
ways timely one in Missouri, albeit
but insignificant results seemed to
have followed its discussion. The
laws bearing upon the subject have
been amended and repealed and re-
enacted and changed again and
again, but the throughfares Of the
state are little if any better than
they were a quarter of century
ago. Moherly's mayor has been
giving considerable thought and
attention to the matter, with re
ference alike 10 the possibilities in
the direction Of making improve
nlents in town streets and in the
roads leading hereto from the trib-
utary territory. and he has OBJ
tanned from tie department Of ag
iicultnrc of Washington Il plan,
which The Democrat says, solves
the problem for roads here" The
scheme is to build tracks fer the
wheels out Of brick, and fill in
with cinlcrs shale and rock. A
double track is made. SO there
need be no turning out. These
roads would not cost no more than
about 81 200 OF POO per mile.
The department claims heavier
loads can be hauled over this road
than any other except steel rails.
1t looks To he practical and feasible
and should be thoroughly investi
gated and tcsted.-RoIIa New

Town Improvement Associa tions.

All over the country associations
for the purpose Of town and
village improvement have been
springinS up. In some places the
ladies form associations. This
is most laudaI,ie. and town pro-

sional thoughtful suggestions from
competent sources, urged by asso-
cia;ions of this character. We
have in mind one example of this
kind in Il town of two or three
thousand inhabitants. Since the
organization Of an association there
i; has greatly progressed as Il clean,

erahle attention is paid to tila! kind

progress from The organization Of
