there is not much chance of the Missouri
courts taking the same view of the Nation

ney who presented the case In st. Louis re-
sorted to entirely different methods for a
defense than did those, for the Philadelphia

The Lajoie case was lost principally be-
cause the attorneys for Connie Mack were

that case. In Missouri it is different. You

Be Careful.

Ia the use of the official ballot it is a
very easy operation to vote straight
party ticket, but when you come to vot-
ing a split ticket it is not quite so easy,
although by no means difficult, and it is
strange that so many voters disfranchise
themselves by mutilating their ballots.
1t is only necessary to exercise little
care in marking the ballot, and, for the
guidance of voters, we print the follow
ing directions, contained in Section "A
OF the Ballot law:
"Sec. "a. On receipt of this ballot the
voter shall forthwith, and without leav.
ing the inclosed space, retire alone to
one of the voting shelves or compart-
ments 30 provided and shall prepare his
ballot by marking In the appropriate
margin or place, cross (X) as follows
He may place such mark within the
square above the name of the party group
or ticket, in which case he shall be deem
ed to have voted for all the persons named
In the group under such party or desig-
nation. And IL the voter shall desire to
vote for any person or persons, whose
name or names are not printed as candi-
dates on the party group or ticket, he
may erase any name or names which are
printed on the group or party ticket, and
under the name or names so erased he
may fill in the name or names of the
candidates Of his choice. Or il the voter
does not desire to vote for person or
persons whose name or names are print
ed upon the party group or ticket, he
may erase such name or names with the
effect that the ballot shall not be count
ed for the candidate or candidates whose
names are so erased"

President Roosevelt ave are doing
a great deal of business. We are living
In wonderful state of things. In the

hundred millions for each and every

Mckinley said In the campaign of 1896,
alt seems to me much wiser to open the

we started the mills instead OF opening

For 400 years the Hohenzollern fam
fly has possessed a peculiar talisman
in the shape of black stone set in a
ring, each head of the house having
passed the charm on to the next in sue
cession for many generations. Fred
erick the Great is said to have found
the ring sealed in a package with in
structions as to its preservation and
transmission written by Frederick l.
Precisely what value or significance
attaches to this carefully treasured bit
OF jewelry 1t would be difficult to say.
Tradition says that huge toad hoped
into the royal presence centuries ago
with the stone held in its mouth. As
to whether the golden setting in which
the stone is now preserved is due to
the forethought of the intelligent toad
or to the afterthought of the Hohen-
zollerns tradition fails to enlighten us.

attack was made upon my predecessor,
Mr.. Small, because he would not yield
his official judgment in compliance with
the request of certain men in Madison.
Mr.. Small had been known to me since

temperance man. He had stood at the
head of one of the greatest fraternal or
ders of the world, and believe that he
tried TO enforce the laws, but was unable
to accomplish all that he desired, as

that have no sympathy with men who
resort to such methods.

or gave any person reason for so saying,
but have said that If the court is going
to give fines instead of Jail sentences,
believe that the fines should be heavy
enough to amount to something and not
be merely nominal. Mr.. Leech says that
four gentlemen from Madison brought
liquor to me that had been purch ased
from the three hotels in Madison, with a
demand that present IT to the grand
jury at the Sept. term 1901, but that in
stead of presenting it, told the grand
jury that had no evidence to present to
them at that term. Ills statement is alb.

to me to be used at the March term 1901,
and have before me the papers that
