A peanut trust has been or
gained. The people will now
have to shell out.
1t seems that 50 per cent of
the voters of Mo. Valley should
be allowed their way on the pc
tition question.
An American Policy.


The one great boast of the
American people is that it is the
only country on earth where
the majority absolutely rule. It
has been the guiding star of
this country, that the minority
should bow to the majority in
the United States, and we be-
lieve that that is the one thing
more than any other that has
made the United States the
greatest country on Gods foot
stool today. During the dark
days Of the rebellion, it was this
idea of the majority ruling that
kept Missouri, Kentucky, and
Tennessee in the Union, and
made these States a part of the
United States not in rebellion.
The majority rule" Ideals what
made it possible for the United
States to go through the ex-
citing election of 1876, and the
dangerous days following, with
out the country being involved
in civil war. Had it not been
that the patriotic people of this
country believed in majority
rule strong enough to accept
the 8 to z ruling of the court,
this country to day would still
be in the throes of civil war, or
even worse. Every patriotic,
law abiding, and liberty loving
citizen of the United States is
proud of the fact that he lives
in a country and age when and
where the majority rules" and
We believe the people of Mo.
Valley are as patriotic and
liberty loving as any people in
this broad land. We are led to
these remarks by a seeming de-
sire on the part of a very few
| of our female" cititizens to
dispute the majority rule in
this city on the saloon petition.
Almost 83 per cent of the le-
gal voters of Mo. Valley sign
ed the consent petition for the
saloons to run in this city, and
the entire business interests Of
the city are absolutely favorable
to the saloons re-opening. It
seems that there should be en-
ough patriotism, enough love of
liberty and enough honor for
the time honored principles of
majority rule" in the hearts of
those who are making a fight
against the overwhelming ma
jority of the voters of this city
to show them that they should
'lay down" and accept the YER
dict of the S3 per cent majority
of the voting citizens of this
city. Think of it, you people
who are setting up your minor
|ity views against the majority
of the citizens of the city and
see if you can't find it compati-
BILE with your views to bow
to the time honored custom of

SAW NECESSITY
FOR TIE DlTCkES
Beard Of Appraisers Had Meist
Time Yesterday,


If the respective members of
the board of appraisers appoint
Ell to establish the damage done
b. the construction of the big
d 'ainage ditch through the
estern portion of Harrison
county are not today thorough
ly convinced an adequate sys-
ten of drainage is needed, and
needed badly, in this section
they are a most peculiar collec-
ton.
In traversing the route of the
large ditch yesterday the mem
bers of the board had a most
strenuous time. They found
many of the farms through
which the ditch will run under
water, varying in depth from a
few inches to several feet. The
members of the board covered
considerable of the distance US
ing boat as a means of travel.
In attempting to cut across lots
at one place they ran into a
slough and were forced to wade
water almost waist deep.
While no official information
can be obtained it is said the
following damage awards have
been decided upon:
Logan Crawford, who put in
a claim for 1000 damages, will
receive damages in the sum of
$40 per acre for the land used
for the ditch, the drainage dis
trict to build a bridge for him
across the new ditch.
Fred Schwertley and f. w.
Myers will each receive 500 per
acre for the ditch right of way
through their farms.
Morris Edwards put in a claim
for $75 damages and the board
will allow his claim in full.
Enos Cole will get damages
in the sum of $40 per acre and
C. p. Brandriff' S award amounts
to SIS per acre.
In some instances the claims
allowed by the commission are
too low and will probably be
raised before the official report
4 is rendered.

A very pleasant afternoon
was spent at the Presbyterian
church parlcr yesterday when
the w. III. and f. M. S. met and
spent the time in a study of
Siam and Loas. The program
committee had secured five la
dies (who had taken a pen and
ink journey to these countries)
to give an account of their trip
and the places of interest seen
by them. The tourists were
Mesdames Amen, 3. w. Carlisle,
Edgecomb, Lyon and Moore.
Each took a different city and
thus gave valuable information
as to the country, and also an
intelligent account of the work
of the board.

Bell gave a plea for Loas and
Mrs. Madsen read a pathetic
story showing the great need of
medical missions in this land.

tere3ting account of the Pres
bytcrial meeting which was held

the earth, and also to gain a
general and intelligent knowl-
edge of all peoples, countries
and customs. The organiza-
ton will most cordially welcome
all who desire to become mem
bers.
