JUDGE JACKSON
Sustained by the U. S. Supreme
Court.
Hts ID, cIsiOn As 20 Priz, Coupons
Affirmed.

Judge Jackson has. been sfirmed
by the Supreme court of the United
States, In the case of the United
States VS.. 2S8 Packages of Merry
World Tobacco, which was decided
on June %, 1900. by Judge Jack
son OF the District of WestVirginia
He held that the insertion within
the packages of tobacco and cigar
cites of coupons or any other SUBJ
stance was violation of the statute.
The proceeding was under an
Act passed July "a, 1897, Par 10.
chapter 8, which prescribed that
no packages of tobacco or cigar
cites, shall be permitted to have
packed in or attached to, or con-
nected with them, any article or
thing whatsoever, other than the
manufacturers'wrappers and labels,
the internal revenue stamp and the
tobacco or cigarettes. etc.
The defendant company In this
case inserted little coupon IL the
shape of an advertisement to give
premium to parties for a cerlain
number of the coupons.
AS the proceeding under this
statute was one of general moment
and interest to the government,
and particularly to the Internal
Revenue Department, Judge Jack
son was selected by the department
of justice before whom the viola
ton of this salute was to be tried
and heard. -.
Judge Jackson held that 1t was
constitutional, although 1t was very
strongly contended by emerent
counsel from New York and this
state that the statute was unconsti.
tutional. The district attorney
and Hon. Charles J. Faulkner con
tended that the statute was uncon
stitutional and that the insertion oil
the coupons in the various pack
ages of tobacco was a violation o.
the statute.
Judge Jackson after mature con
slderation fled a written opinion
upholding the constitutions lity o.
the law, and held, that the insertion
OF the coupons In the packages o
tobacco was violation of the Ac
of Congress.
From his opinion an appeal wa
taken TO the circuit court of tn,
United States for the Fourth Judi
cial district, and by that court wa:
certified to the Supreme court o
the United States for final hearing
as 1t involved a constitutions
question.
The Supreme court on last Mon
day delivered an opinion affirming
Judge Jackson, and sustained hi:
view as to the constitutionality oil
the law and violation of the statute
with but one dissenting opinion.

ALIGNED Against Liberty.

President Rooseyelt's positive an
nouncement to the Boer representa-
tives ia Washington that the United
States government cannot and will
not utter a word to prevent the
crushing of the two South African
republics was expected.
Hope Of any American assistance in
the Struggle for liberty now being
made in South Africa died away long
ago. Yet in many respects the three
years war Of the little Boer people
against the full might Of Great
Britain constitutes one Of the most
splendid struggles in history. 1t
deserves to be ranked with the revo-
lutionary war which won this coun-
try's freedom from English misrule.
Until within the past few years
there would have been no hesitancy
ON the part Of the United States
government in voicing a friendship
for the two South African republics.
This action would not have been due
to any feeling of hostility toward
England nor to a spirit of oficious
intermeddling in the policies Of
another great power. 1t would have
been taken for conscience sake-we
could not then have stood aside and
consented to the overthrow Of these
republics and their subjugation into
British crown colonies. Our Amer.
lean faith would have forbidden us
thus to betray the cause of liberty
and self-goyernment, of which We are
the logical guardians on this earth.
But, unhappily, within less than
five years, we have in some calamitous
manner forgotten or grown weary Of
the early American teaching and put
it aside. We have adopted instead
the policies Of the old world, against
which our fathers revolted and pre-.
vailed; the conquest Of alien peoples,
the government Of these peoples by
force against their consent, the right
Of the strong hand, the denial of any
other right than this. We are SC
close to England in our relations, oui
new spirit is So hostile to that fol
which the Beers are contending Al

tended, that we now stand Will

Persona Journalism Rebuked.

Judge Cooney's overwhelming vic
tory in Saline county over the Hon.
Matt Hall was a stinglng rebuke to
personal journalism, and to villiica-
ton of the individual citizen through
the columns of newspapers. Even
though Judge Cooney had favored
what many were pleased to call a
''snap convention, " it was no excuse
for the vicious personal fight made on
him by some Of the newspapers Of the
district, more especially at Marshall.
II was a most unjust fight from the
beginning, without logical foundation
to stand upon. In %censuring Judge
COOpey along this line it wal assumed
that the congressional committee was
a mere tool in his hands, willing to
bow to any condition that be might
command. We do not feel disposed
nor have we yer so felt-to question
the honesty of party workers simply
because they happen to do something
displeasing to us and with this paper
the matter Of the early calling Of the
congressional convention has been no
exception to the general rule we have
adopted. We have SO far yet to hear
a single charge made against a single
member Of the congressional COM
mittee; nor have we ever heard any
charge made against Judge Cooney
save by thouse who. have fought him
either frcm a standpoint of personal
hatred or through desire to secure
political promotion for some pet or
faSdrite.
The columns Of the newspaper are
no place for personal abuse and when
engaged in it soon becomes nauseaus
20 the public. Saline has had forced
down her throat a dose of this most
unpleasant medicine, the effects of
which may last for years, even though
the ugly practice has been most
~pronouncedly rebuked by the democ-
racy of that county.

A Matter Of Importance.
Lexington, Mo.,Mch.

Lexington, Mo-, Mch. 10, 1902.
EDITOR INTELLIGENcER:- wish to
call the attention of the people of Lex
ington, the western end of the county
and in fact of the entire county, to a
matter of importance to ali, especially
to the citizens of Lexington.
The opening Of the river route Of the
Missouri Pacific railroad fIom Jefferson
City to Kansas City will make 1t the
main route. 1t being a level route, a
river grade from South Point to Kansas
City, it will be the main line and there
Will be many fIeight and passenger
trains running over 1t. Including the
coal trains from Lexington and the
trains from Sedalla branch, there will
be trains passing over the line every
hour.
The travel over the county road from
Lexington to Wellington, with present
conditions, is bad enough but will be
much worse when trains are runnig full
along the railroad. The county road
viii have to be abandoned and a new
route to Wellington established.
1t is time for the people to take up
this important subject. A new route
is essentially necessary. The writer
knows the county from Lexington TO
Wellington and a good road can be
opened on a new line. The distance
will be greater but a good route can be
made.
II is b~elievedthe court will be willing
to make necessary Appropriation.
Will the people consider this impor-
tanl subject at once.

Prices and Prosperity.


is advantageous to a man who has
commodities to sell is so automatic
that it ought to meet no question,
though it has been most vehemently
denied in the past decade. The
analysis of price movement in the cur
rent number of Dun's Review shows
that the conditions Of the past year
have been peculiarly favorable to agri-
cultural producers in this country.
The summary is as follows, says the
Indianapolis Sentinel.
The index number on March 1, 1902,
exhibited a gain of IL per cent. as
compared with the level of prices on
March l, 1901. The advance was
most noticeable in breadstuffs which
rose nearly 80 per cent. during the
year. Drought damage to corn ami
oats accounted for the difference,
each Of these cereals gaining about 20
cents a bushel in price, while wheat
rose 81 cents on account of its in
creased demand as a substitute for
feeding live. stock, despite the remark
able size Of the crop. Meats rose 1876
per cent, which is a natural result of
the enhanced cost of fodder. Lard
advanced about 2 cents a pound, and
mess pork $3.50 per barrel. Dairy
and garden products rose 1913 per
cent. The most important change in
this division was a difference of ex-
aotly so per cent. in the cost Of eggs,
while fruit and vegetables also made
material gains. Milk and butter rose,
but less sharply. On the other hand,
miscellaneous food products declined
about SIS per cent. during the year;
coffee losing IL cents a pound, while
sugar, molasses and hops fell off con-
siderably There was practically no
alienation in the aggregate Of cloth
ing; declines in cotton, wool and rub
Der being balanced by gains in silk,
hides leather and boots and shoes. A
small loss occurred in metals, the rise
in iron and steel products being Of less
value in the aggregate than declines
in copper, tin, lead and petroleum In
the miscellaneous division there also
appears a trifing decrease, despite a
large advance in the price Of hemp,
paper, lath and other lumber. In
other words, the analysis shows that
the years gain was in foodstuffs,
which largely overbalanced the lower
figures for many manufactured pro-
ducts.
1t will be noted that a part of these
contributing causes are casual and
temporary in character. On the other
hand they are in part due to a
general movement, which is evidently
in greater part a recovery from panic.
conditions. The panic of 1896 reach
ed its elimination in low prices, &C.
cording to the index number of Dunn
& Co., in July, 1897. The index mum
Der then stood at 72,455, from which
point it has advanced irregularly I'M
lion March l, 1902. it reached 1OI 1913,
which is high-water mark for over a
quarter of a century.
But these figures, it must be re-
membered, are for the United States
only, and there are some indications
of a break here, for one occurred in
February, which the March recovery
has more than Offset. There is a pos
sibility that increased supplies of gold
have somewhat reduced the purchasing
value Of money, but the period is too
brief and conditions too unsettled to
draw that conclusion with any GER
tainity.

colonial possessions government
for the especial benefit Of the classes
and in opposition to the prosperity
and happiness of the whole people.
We endorse our state administra-
ton in its wise and business-like
management Of state affairs; and for

Of Hon. Alexander Graves for the

Mr. Munsey has a damaged reputation i'm

20 the public not to pay the newsboy only a
certain price per copy when the news

price with his knowledge and consent.
Against these latter he had no warnings,

The sworn circulation Of the Star, which
is the conspicuous feature of its counting
