Al the evening session there will
be lecture illustrated with stere-

pal Ines Of work at the Expert

Everybody in the county is IN

eIecting a president and secretary
and appointing an executive com,
mittee to have charge of the pre-
liminary arrangements for the in

exhibit is installed from every part

1t will be good idea to appoint

We nctice that the Wabasb
Railway management, following q
precedent established by ether big
railway sys,ems, has issued a ukase
TO it's employees that addiction to
the use Of in!ox;ssnts will lead to
their dismissal from the company's
service. No doubt the fear of los
ing their employment: will influence
a large portion Of the men who
are affected by this order to OBJ
serve it while they come under its
ruling, aud thus induce u greater
degree of sobricty among them as
well as add its modicum of safety
in the handling of the company's
trains. These restraints placed up
on the individual can only be re-
garded as an admission that resort
to alchoholic stimulants ia bad
from general standpoint, and
that unless the conduct of the indi-
yidual is controlled in this respect
the public is the greater sufferer.
AT the Same time it plants the ar
gument against the liquor traffic
upon the base that no man is his
brothers keeper any farther than
to tell him he must leave alone
what his brother has placed before
him. We admit that the use of
liquor is harmful, but we make no
effort to restrain its production and
sale. TO attempt to stop the traf-
tc by saying men must Let it alone,
is just rs affective as an attempt to
sweep back the tide Of the ocean
with broom. Its power unre-
strained is by public sentiment and
action sweeps the individual before
it like so much chaff. If we recog-
nize Il thing rs being bad the easiest
way to get rid Of it would be not
to say, don't use it, but to put
stop to its production altogether.
There is no other way by which
the evils of the liquor traffic can
be effectively combatted.

We have at various times heard
a great dcuI from Democrats in
this state about the capacity of the
people to direct their political af-
fairs properly and in their own in
terests, and some of those who are
now saying that this popular clam
or in the rank and file of the Dem
ocrats for Joseph W. Folk for
governor is only "a mad stampede"
for reform by those who refuse to
hold bribery in Office a ''conven-
tional crime," have been tho loud
est in certain instances in demand
ing that the people should prevail
against the machine. Solf interest
has much to do with this machine
opposition to a popular movement
against corruption in Office, since
to wipe out official corruption
means the death of the ring ma
chine which now purports itself
the Democratic party of Missouri.
The machine has its tools in every
county in the state, and these arc
now hard at work trying to blunt
the edge Of public interest in the
campaign against boodling, and to
belittle the work of Folk in inaug-
urating this movement by hav ing
the boodlers sentenced TO terms in
the penitentiary.

SOME of our local Democratic
friends have lately had their free
trade sympathizers severely Iolted
If not altogether dislocated. They
are among those who use coal for
their winter fuel. Ayear ago, when
anthracite was selling 80 high on
account of labor trouble in the an
thracitc coal mines, these Democrats
supported Senator Vest in his con-
tention that the quickest relief
from the grasp of the coal combine
would result only from wiping out
the import duties on coal. When
the Senator had his measure to
suspend duties on coal put through
congress, our Democratic friends
here as we'll as elsewhere hailed
him a public benefactor. But the
benefits of this free trade measure
have failed to materialize, and SO
far as forcing the coal combine to
lower prices this season, why it has
rot feazed the operators. While
Newspaper reports announce that
the coal production in the anthracite
districts is so large that it neeessitat
ed closing down some of the mines,
the price of coal under these con
dit;ons has scared higher this seas.
nm than ever before, and hard coal
Is selling above 5000 per ton ii
The local market, with a tendenc,
o.fise even higher. The facts are
i foreible object lesson to the fre'
Trade Democrats, and leaves then
no other recourse than to adm
that the monopoly combines can
hot be reached BY tearing dow
fhe protective tariff walls.
