ties being to provide for elections al which citizens may give an expression or their choice in matters of moment have not written to Eastern Senators. but took fifteen minutes of my time and asked Hon. H. s. D. Mallory, member of the State Executive Committee, Hon. J. c. Compton. ex-President of the State Sem ate. Hon. W. w. Burns, ex-Chatrman of the County Executive Committee, Hon. H. F. Reese. member of the Constttu- ttonai Convention, and without dissenting voice they say that there is nothing un- democratic or supplementary in their coming together and acting on a second request of the people who elect them. Probably they feel they are czars to rule us. Now, citizens of Selma, whether you are friends of the dispensary or not. are we as little men to s1f down and sub init to such action? There are many peo- pie in Selma who desire the privilege of expressing themselves by ballot and they are as good Democrats as any member of the Committee. When we were in trou- ble from Republican rule, we did not send East to find out what we were allowed to do We met the issue, acted; and over came the vexatious problems. Now we have another vexatious problem. Our rul- CTS, or officers, have allowed to accumu- late floating debt against our property Of $S3,0 900, an expense account of $4, 133 per annum more than our revenue, and &C., Knowledge they see no way to overcome it at present. Our taxes are at the highest possible limit as prescribed by law. A raise of license was recently made on nearly every business. Our citizens are under the burden of a $4,000 street tax, our insurance rates are abnormal. par tially because, few years ago. the in- surance companies licenses were raised $s,OOO per annum. Our real estate values are steadily increasing, thereby bringing more revenue, but with all that, our city's floating debt increased from s4,O0O to $6, 900 per annum. What shall we do? The friends of the dispensary think 1t is t;s one thing which will rid us of these bur- dens. but it's strongest advocates think that although it would be a great source or benefit there are greater, by far than the financial one. At a meeting of fully oOo men and women they ask, without a dissenting voice, the City Executive Com mlttee to grant us a privilege and it re- plies: We do not think we have the au- thority to get together to hear your re- quest, but we will refer 1t to Czar Reed and others, feel that this is a refec- uon on every citizen of Selma, and the time is come when we should not beg any longer. Give them a few more days and then let us act and believe we will be equal to the occasion.
 Respectfully.

Depends on the Size of Families.

Harper's Weekly.
 According to Professor Vierkandt. a German sociologist, the qu astion whether American-race superiority can make it. self felt in the world at large depends on the size of American families He notes, a Berlin dispatch says, "a ten dency which discourages large families because of the standard of comfort re- qured." No observing person will deny that there is such tendency in this coun- try. The Americans like children, but they hesitate to become responsible for the welfare and comfort of large fami- lies. Four children in a family are an unusual number; six make a, big family nowadays, and eight invite the imputation of reckless prodigality. If Europe is safe from an American invasion until Ameri- can families grow bigger it can rest easy in its mind. At present the tendency seems to be the other way. They say that the French are growing more peace able more thrifty, and richer, They are not invaders nowadays in commerce, and they are less and less disposed to ag- gressive war. They have no spare popu- lation So 1t may be with us. American families can i'll spare their sons for for eign service, either military or commer- cial. There are too few of them born.

SURVEYING FOR NEW LINE.
Rock Island Planning Air Line From
Trenton to Kansas City.

Kansas City, March 2S-A party of
surveyors in the employ of the Chicag go,
Rock Island & Pacific railroad are max
ing a survey through Clay county from
a point about five miles north of Ex-
celsior Springs to Kansas City by way
of Liberty. The apparent object of the
survey is to get near an air line as
possible from Trenton to Kansas City.
Since the announcement, made a few
weeks ago, that the Rock Island intend
ed to abandon the Hannibal bridge, the
company has made extensive purchases
of real estate in Harlem, just across the
river in Clay county. The business of
the Rock Island has more than
quadrupled in the last half a dozen
years, and the road has expended u
million dollars for terminal property in
the West bottoms. which it proposes to
reach over its own rails.
The Rock Island now reaches Kansas
City from the north over the Burlington
tracks from Cameron, Mo, a distance
of fifty-four miles. From Cameron the
Rock Island tracks run to st. Joseph
Mo-, and Leavenworth, Kan, by the
way of Plattsburg and Platte City, Mo.
The Rock Island proposes to shorten its
route to Kansas City by building a line
from Platte City, a distance of twenty
four miles Its construction will make
unnecessary the use of the Burlington
tracks from Cameron to Kansas City.
