war on the S~heepmen.

A Colorado man with a fancy for
such statistics says that the total
lossot lifein the struggle for suprem-
acy between the sheepmen, and the
cattlemen 10 the West during the last
ten years, much exceeds that of the
Cuban and Philippine wars. In addi-
ton he says that sheep to the value
Of 81, 100000 have been wantonly
slain. Commenting upon these facts
a metropolitan paper republican,
says: cit has been suggested that the
government either lease these lands
or oLst both sheep or cattle. The
last is not to be considered for a
moment. II this we're done, the price
Of meats would mount higher and
higher. On the contrary, it is con-
trarg TO the policy Of the government
TO lease It's lands for any purpose
whatever. Hitherto the public lands
have been open to all people alike
Really there seems to be nc solution,
save as 1t may solve itself through the
coming OF small settlers or by the
complete triumph Of one side or the
other . Such a verdict is remarkable,
especially since one state in the union,
Tsyaa has solved the question. And
then to say that any plan to save the
lives OF as many men in ten years as
were Killed 10 the Cuban and Philip
pine wars Is not to be considered for
a morlen tn because it would increase
the price Of beef to consumers, sounds
very strange in a paper which opposes
any reduction OF tariff duties 10 the
interest Of consumers on such articles
as are shipped from this country and
sold in foreign lands at one-third less
than at home.

there are no U. S public lands in

The Stars Scoop.

The Stars Scoop.
The Kansas City Star has made a
scoop-a clean scoop Nobody
else in Missouri even suspected
it. The republican papers all
copied it with hesitation, but the
credit of the discovery belongs to the
Star. There was nothing left for the
other republican papers to do but say.
"That's so" And the funny thing
about it all is that it did not come
through the associated press dispatches
or the ordinary avenues Of iuforma-
tion. 1t was first stated in the edl-
torial colunns-evolved by the editor
out of his inner consciousness by sheer
force of c~ogitation. After years Of
distress over the miseries OF "poor
old Missouri, y while yet in the depths
of his affection, a sudden light bursts
upon the editor of the Star and by q
marvellous intuition, by a direct, i'm
mediate PERCEPTION without conscious
processes, his purified spirit leaps to
the embrace Of the enhancing truth
that, "There is a great deal
in what Mr.. Lee Meriwether
SAYS" All, there it Isl The
conversion Of Saul was as nothing
to this. The bright light that shoue
about him Vas exterior aud disclosed
a visual object. But the Star man by
a kind Of spontaneous mental com
bustion has she'd an interior light
upon an abstraction. There is only
one case like 1t ia all the hoary regis

nized his own and the states Re-

Butler Literature.
1t is said that Boone county, where
Ed Butler is to be tried this month,
has been flooded with literature in his
behalf. This is perhaps the first
instance Of the kind in Missouri.
Pamphlets and newspapers are often
drafted into service where the case is
is that Of a powerful corporation, but
il is very unusual for literature to be
printed aud circulated in the interest
OF a culprit who is the object Of a
criminal prosecution. 1. this sort Of
thing is destined to become fashiona-
BILE, 1t will be necessary to alter our
jury laws or to safeguard ourselves
against such proceedings by statute.
To matters political it has long been
customary to prepare public sentiment
beforehand by the circulation OF
insidious literature. A year ago there
was a paid advertisement in nearly
all our magazines and many Of our
newspapers to the effect that a GER
tain benevolent publishing house in
New York would send free to public
libraries, literary and church societies,
reading,rooms, and even TO interested
individuals a three-hundred page, non
partizan history of the contention
between England and the Beers. This
book was mild and calm ia tone, but
had every other appearance of a law
rer's brief. Now nobody supposes
that the author printed at his own
expense hundreds Of thousands Of
copies Of this book, shipped them to
this country, advertised them, and
paid the postage on them-all for his
fame or his health. Eight months
later it was announced that Conan
Doyle had been knighted-the price of
his services.
Auxiliary printing companies are
drafted into the service Of special
interests, and it is no uncommon
thing to see in the plate matter Of a
country newspaper, or in the patent
inside, an insidlous line of argument
or information entirely at variance
with the principles Of the editorial
page. Anglomania and Russiaphobia
are largely attributable to this cause.
But insinuating literature in the in
terest Of private individual under a
criminal prosecution is a new venture
and M to be looked upon with alarm.

Defining Terms.
The Trenton Tribune is greatly
excited yer a speech delivered at the
Gruady county capitol on Labor Day
by Rev. Lowther. The Tribune man
says it was political. II seems that
the Rev. Lowther told Of a fire at his
house in which he lost his furniture
insured for $1,000. He took the in
surance money and reatted bis home.
Then he said he took a tariff scedule
and figured it up and found that he
had paid $500 tariff duty and $3.50 for
his house furnishings.
The Tribune says:
"It is more than likely that every
piece Of goods he purchased was manu-
featured right here in this country
and II such was the case there
was absolutely no tariff on it what
ever. 1t is not likely that he bought
any foreign stuff. II he did he is a
fit subject for the care of a guardian"
The Tribune man Is very correct,
but he ought not to be angry with
the Rev. Lowther for evading the
proper term. 1t doubtless was not
tariff, but just a forced contribution
to the manufacturers. Not a cent
of it went to the government. The
Rev Lowther has doubtless not been
a student of political economy and the
Tribune should have handled him
more tenderly; should have separated
and explained to him some Of the
mysteries OF American taxation;
should have shown him,
First, that an income tax is class
legislation and therefore u%nconsti tu-
tional.
Second, that an internal revenue
tax by which thirteen cents worth of
whisky is made to pay ninety cents is
just, hurts nobody except those who
drink the whisky, and goes straight
into the United States treasury.
Third, that protective import
duties which serve to enable the home
manufactures to charge 50 per cent
more for his product and yields no
income to the treasury, which takes
$500 from one man out OF every $1,000
he spends and gives in TO another
man, Is not class legislation, but
sound republican taxation. Perhaps
it is easier to browbeat Rev. Lowther
than to explain to him, but it is not
right.

The Coal Strike.

The great strike Of the Pennsylvania
coal mines, which has lasted a little
more than four months, is about to
collapse. The miners, as it looks now,
will not get a cent more than they
did before the strike. The operators
have sold all the coal they had been
storing for a yeai at exorbitant prices.
They have doubtless made more clear
money on the transactions of the past
four months than on the trade OF the
two years previous. The price has
been advanced from about 1925 to
about Sl2 90 per ton. Meanwhile in
Nova Scotia, much nearer Boston and
with much cheaper freight rates u

richest coal mines in the world

Senator Cockrell.

Missourlans have long held Senator
Cockrell in high esteem. They have
long considered him a wise legislator,
a sound counselor, and an uutiring
pubic servant. They have always
been anxious to hear what he has to
say, but they have never looked upon
him as an orator. His popularity 10
the senate is remarkable. No man
there is listened to with more re-
spectful attention. The reason seems
to be that is not a mere critic and
debater, like many Of the most bril-

plan to urge, and satisfied to make
