Hon. w. S. Cowherd, in an inter-
view given out at Washington, talks
sensibly Of the ~foolishness of SPRING
ing democratic presidential booms at
this time. His idea is to wait until
the pivotal states shall have held
their elections, carefully weigh the
results, and then select a nominee for
the party who is honest and fearless
and not loaded down with a political
record; and for whose success the
people would have logical cause to
hope. Man worship has no place In
the democratic party, which is a party
Of principle and not Of momentary
impulse. The man is merely the
agent through which that principle
is to be promoted and pushed forward.
|Cowherd is one Of the most level
headed men in congress and sees the
situation as it should be seen.

The contemplated electric line from
Lexington to Kansas City is creating
considerable comment in this section
Of Missouri. The independence people
are waking up to the necessity of
breaking away from the clutches of
the Metropolitan Street Railway COM
pany and are looking to the proposed
Lexington line to furnish them a
measure Of relief. independence
would be an important feeder for a
line Of electric railway connecting
Lexington with Kansas City. 1t is
only a question Of a few years when
there will be a network of trolley
lines all over the state and the
initiative that has been taken by the
Lexington people is only the fore
runner Of greater achievement in
providing the people with this rapid
and cheap mode Of transportation for
both freight and passengers.

The Missouri Press association is a
good thing and is organized along the
proper lines so far as its alleged pur-
poses are concerned. At the same
time some Of the ablest newspaper
men in the state are not members Of
that organization and the NJ. P. A.
should not take unto itself credit for
all the good work done for Missouri
by the press generally. In this
worlds fair matter our amalgamated
brethren should at least manifest a
disposition to let credit 60 where it
belongs. If Mr.. Francis is ambitious
to become president of the United
States through his official connection
with the worlds fair management he
is surely sufficiently astute to realize
that in order to get Missouri in line
ne will have reach beyond NJ P. A,
influences.

A solid democratic force and a
number Of republicans who reyolted
against despotic rule gained a great
victory in the lower house of congress
a few days since when they knocked
of the differential on refined sugar in
connection with the Cuban reciprocity
bill. True, the senate, the republi-
can end Of which 1.-THE big end) is I'M
der control of corporate greed and
corrupt lobby influences, is yet to
pass on the measure and will proba-
bly, reinsert the d~ifferential clause;
but the vote in the house will most
%assuredly be repeated when the bill
goes back there and the administra.
tion' S pet measure will fail to pass fol
the reason that the administration is
welded to the money power Of the
country. Some Of the leading repub.
licans Of the west voted in favor o.
cutting out this infamous sugar diff.

Gov. pockerY on Tariff.

Gov. D0ckery on larifI.
The Knockout blow administered to
protection in the lower house Of con
gresS a few days ago is a straw that
shows the direction whence the wind
is coming. The great issue before
the American people today is that Of
tariff revision and reasons are being
urgently demanded Of the republican
party as to why it is that goods r
manufactured in this country, ex-
ported and sold to foreign peoples for
less money than our own people are
forced to pay for them.
Referring to the successful fight,
so far as the house is concerned, made
on the sugar trust octopus by a united
democracy, Gov. Dockery truthfully
says;
1.-THE campaign Of 1902 was fitting
ly opened in the national house Of
representatives Friday by a Knockout
blow for the great sugar trust and a
crushing disappointment for the
national republican administration.
"Both results show the power of a
united and aggressive democracy. 1t
is the opening gun Of the ensuing
contest, in which one Of the most
lusty infant industries, born of the
high tariff system, met a telling
defeat.
"'This action of the democrats Qf
the house is but expressive Of a
universal desire among democrats to
henceforth turn their guns upon the
enemy rather than upon each other.
''The victory Of Friday was the
result Of a democratic reconnaissance
in force. It will be followed in No
vember by a closing up Of the demo-
cratic lines everywhere for the owe
throw of a system Of taxation which
sends our own goods to foreign coun-
tries to be sold at less price than
they are sold to our own people, while
at the same time building up here
great, powerful trusts to arbitrarily
control and fix the prices Of life's
memorable necessities.
"The harmony of democratic repre-
sentatives in Washington is but the
forerunner Of democratic triumphs in
November"

the contrarr MISUNDERSTANDING.

the contrary Notwithstanding.
The good book teaches that he who
giyeth to the poor lendeth to the
Lord Let this teaching find lodg-
ment in the heart Of Andrew Car
negie. Missouri is not poor enou gh
to need his gifts and were she so we
thank God that her people are not
made of that kind Of material that
win bow the knee Of humility to
wealth-especially wealth gotten as
Mr. Carnegie got his. Let him give
to the suffering masses of the country
who were made poor by the same sys-
TEN of legislation that made him rich.
In this Divinity may find something
to condone.
The democratic party condemns in
platform and from the stump the I'M
just system through which Mr.. Car
negie accumulated his millions, there
fore a democratic legislature cannot
accept gifts from Mr.. Carnegie with
out subiecting itself to the charge of
being insincere in its dealings with
the people.
The Republic is welcome to its
opinions but we must deny it the right
to speak for the democratic party Of
Missouri on this question.

Glen Tyree.
In this issue of the INTELLIeENCER
Glen Tyree announces his candidacy
for reelection to the Office Of recorder
Of Lafayette county, subject to the
action of the democratic party.
This will close the last year Of Mr..
Tyree's first term In this office and
we speak but the truth when we say
that his record has been perfectly
satisfactory to the people. Ooliging
and accommodating, attentive to bus
mess and a true-blue democrat, he
possesses all the qualifications for the
office he now holds aud to which he
is seeking reelection, and it is a safe
guess that he will be retained with
out opposition.
Looking after the records Of so i'm
portant a county as Lafayette is no
child's play, but on the other hand
demands the greatest care and the
closest application to business. These
requisites have been zealously met by
Mr., Tyree, hence his popularity with
the people.

UNCLE SAM BARS TODDIES.
The Sale of Liquors In Our samoan
Islands Is Strictly Inveighed
Against,

The government has decided against
the sale of Intoxicating liquor of any
description in our Samoan possessions
Shortly after the tripartite agreement
between England, Germany and the
United States for the government OF
the Samoan islands was made, and the
assumption of control of the American
portion Of the islands by the navy, a
license for the sale Of liquor at Tutuila
was granted.
Subsequently, upon the recommend.
alton of the naval governor, this H.
cense was revoked, not, however, be.
fore the United States vice consul al
Apia, Mr.. Blackjack, had erected a
hotel at Tutuila, in which the sale OF
liquor was carried on.
When the license was revoked he
lodged aprotest, claiming that the pro.
hibition would work financial injury to
him. 1t was also represented that the
sale Of intoxicants was permitted in
the English and German portions OF
the Islands. The navy department has
decided against Vice Consul Blackjack

WEST INDIAN FOOTWEAR.
OH cteristics of the Shoes That Are
Worn In the Spanish -Ameri-
can Countries.

The slowly growing army OF tourists
which goes to Cuba and Porto Rico al
ways notices the graceful footwear of
the Spanish American islanders. 1t is
like that of Madrid modified to suit the
climate and conditions of the Antilles.
Spanish feet are proyerbially small,
with the high instep and slender ankle
so priced by artists. The shoes neces-
sarily partake of the same characteris-
tics, and would attract attention any
where. The most striking style to the
visitor from the United States are the
morning slippers worn by youthful
belle and staid matron alike. One
common kind is a mere sandal consist
ing of a sole and single band across
the lower instep. The sole may be Of
fancy leather, felt, Irvine, or woven
hemp. Some are made of waterproofed
cloth slightly stiffened and reinforced
in the hollow by steel spring or piece
OF leather. The band should, however,
be of silk or velvet Of some rich color,
bright or dark, which throws the foot
out in bold relief. The slight pressure
which it cxerts upon the foot tends to
force the blood into the surface and
makes each little toe of a delicate pink
coral hue.
Another sandal has a sole and an up
per which covers the forward half Of
the foot, only the heel being left bare.
According to the natives, this is worn
by women who have distorted or de-
formed their feet by wearing tight
boots. In these sandals the upper may
be of silk or satin for the wealthy, or
Of wool, cotton, or linen Tor the poorer
classes. The commonest pattern is Of
fine check in polychrome, and next to
that a series of brilliant stripes like a
Roman scarf. The Questionable
have this piece embroidered in silk
floss and silver and gold thread, and
ieweled with seed pearls or chips of
precious stones. Shoes of this class
seem to be a survival of the old Spanish
womnn's stirrup, which was made in
the same shape, decorated and jeweled
In similar fashion, and differing from
the house slipper in being made strong
er and provided with steel or silver
frame.

HOpI INDIANS ARE RUNNERS.
Astounding Athletic Feats That Are
Performed by Mem beers OF an
UnciYilized Tribe.

A wild yell from the mesa, taken
up by Indians stationed along the
course and carried on to the start
ing point, and the annual race of the
Antelope clan OF the Hopi Indians is
on, relates a correspondent of the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
At almost full speed they tear across
the desert toward their goal in their
village on top of the mesa, nearly four
miles away.
Twenty minutes later, the winner, a
graceful youth with deep, full chest
and heavilymuscled legs, is standing
over the Antelope keeba, the sacred
chamber Of his clan, awaiting his re-
ward-a handful Of -four for his field
to appease the rain god and insure
good crops for the ensuing year.
Several times white men on horses
have endeavored to follow these In
dams in their race; but in the deep
sends the horses have easily and quick
ly been distanced.
1t lis doubtful if, as ong-distance run
ners, the Hopis have equals in any
other of the Indian tribes in the United
States. Through years of practice,
running is now their natural gait.
This is due to two causes. The char
acter of the country in which they live
renders walking slow method Of
progress, and they have developed an
ability to run through the heavy sands
with the expenditure of far less en-
ergy than walking would consume, and
their fields are situated at so great a
distance from their villages that they
are obliged to run in order to get to
them, accomplish their work, and re-
turn in the same day.
Some of their feats are astounding,
when considered according to our
standards. Talash-ya-tua, the finest
runner among the Hopis, starting from
the Oraibi mesa at sunrise, ran to
Tuba, 40 miles away, and reached home
before three in the afternoon, having
accomplished so miles in less than nine
hours. He is also credited with having
run so miles through the sand in five
hours.
Civilization has not entered Hopi
land to a sufficient extent yet to have
undermined the constitutions of the
natives, and while they still have their
full powers and speed it would be well
for some athletic enthusiast or some
athletic club to bring few of the best
Hopi runners east and give them an
opportunity to erase some of the long
standing figures for the distance runs.

SCHOOLS IN PORTO RICO.
Great Progress Is Being Made Under

1.-THE education of the youth Of Porto
Rico" said returned American teach
er TIE other day. according to the New
York Tribune, has made great adj
vancement since the island came into
the possession of the United States,
although the goal of our hopes is yet
a long way off. Indeed, the time is a
long way ahead when the school sys-
TEN of Porto Rico will be on par with
that of our eastern states; but never
theiess, / think that time is bound to
come.
"For example, since the occupation
of the island by the Americans the
school attendance has increased from
3.5 per cent. to 81 per cent. of the popu-
lation of the island. There are now
about 1000 schools and $4,000 pupils,
with the need of 5000 more sch ols for
about 300, 900 children, who at the pres
ent time are without school accommo.

OLD LONDON GROWS APACE.
The Births Decrease, hut the POpu-
IntiOn Reaches Immense
Figures.

Recent county council statistics
show the population Of Greater
London to be 6,5s1,37
A note of alarm has been sounded
because, Notwithstanding a steady in
crease of the marriage rate since
1894, the birth rate has reached the
lowest point ever touched Thirty
years ago it was 35.4 per 1000. Now
IL has sunk to 1913. Throughout
England the full birth rate has been
on parallel lines.
The death rate in London shows a
slight increase over the three previ-
Gus years. Both pauperism and
crime show a tendency to decrease.
The board of trade report shows
that there were fewer strikes in
1901 than for several years. There
were GAG new disputes, involving $780,
900 work people. About two per
cent. of the industrial population
were concerned and the time lost was
computed 70 be equal to 1000, 600
working days, about % days for
every one affected. The majority Of
the disputes ended in favor OF the
masters rather than of the men.
