How Hoch Sees It.

In his own paper, the Marion
Record, E. W. Hoch thus explains BIZ
loss Of tho state printership: Had the
election occurred q few days before
1t did, as VS. tried to have II, the re.
suit would have been overwhelmingly
different, but an adverse caucus COM
mittee, headed by Mr.. Leland, by a
vote Of four to three, postponed the
vote ill last Monday to give the
'machine" time to get into operation.
And the time was industriously used.
To beat poor little country editor,
who was without money and without
official patronage Of any kind, Cyrus
Leland, the most adroit and exper.
fenced and powerful politician In
the state, bent all his energies. To
his aid came Governor W. ]. Bailey
and his private secretary, Harry
Bone, with the patronage and power
Of their positions; the chairman Of
the state Central committee, Mr..
Morton Albaugh, lent his help-hiS
home, where he lies confined from an
accident, being . sort Of Mecca to
which legislative patriots wendell
their way in quest Of Highland other
things. House committees, with or
without the knowledge Of Speaker
Pringle, we have not yet decided
which, were used where they would
do the cause the most good. The
chairman Of the State Board Of Chari-
ties used his pleasing personality and
his powerful influence, officially OBJ
tanned In cause his heart had often
condemned. Other leaders Joined in
the glorious work Of defeating one
who had never done them any harm,
but had helped to wrest them from
an obscurity they SO much adorned.
Three members Of the supreme court
glorifed the ermine In the same way.
And these allied forces after sleepless
vigil and tireless struggle, won by a
magnificent vote Of sixty-6ve to sixty.
three, with two Of our friends kept
away by sickness. Oh, it was .
glorious victory!

Governor and the Coal Situation.

Governor Bailey has notified the
railroads and the coal mine operators
that II the coal famine becomes seri-
GUS he will order the penitentiary
mines worked to their full capacity,
and the product shipped to points
where fuel Is most needed.
''Unless the cases Of suffering be-
come too numerous" said Governor
Bailey, "they could probably be re-
lieved by the state with coal from the
penitentiary."
However, the governor does not ex.
poet any serious trouble. as the warm
spell has enabled dealers to stock up
and supply the wants Of their GUS
toners. Nor does the governor ex-
poet the investigation now on to re-
veal anything Of startling character.
1.-The shortness In the coal supply"
the governor said, sis just like the
shortage in the supply Of any other
necessity. A supply large enough to
last through the winter was not laid
In. The dealers did not take into con-
sideratlOn the prosperous condition of
the state when they ordered. There
is q greater demand for coal In the
state than there has been for many
years. There ls not an engine but
that Is running nearly tWenty-four
hours = day. There are no empty
bars on the side tracks, and every
thing Indicates that the country is
more prosperous and doing more
business than it has for years. This
would cause In unnatural demand for

Cat Ont Of the WAY.

The green Panhard racing sutomo'
bile Of the Leland machine IL running
smuck; common people, citizens
on foot, women and children will do
well to hide out. Here 10 what the
bosses are giving out as their plan;
The congressional districts are to
be juggled so that Congressman Miller
and Curtis will be beaten.
Bailey is to be elected senator.
The state officers are all to be re-
nominated except Kelley.
Cy Leland is to be national COM
mitteemau, pension agent and boss.
Dean and Mackey are to be let out.
There are other things to be done
but these make the starter. There Ia
no indication that the masses OF the
Republican party. who are opposed
overwhelmingly to the Leland
methods and consider them q disgrace
to Republication, are to be con-
suited.
In other words the people are to
get out Of the way and let the machine
run the politics Of the state by and
for Leland and his gang. VIII they

Why Stanley Failed.

Stanley's weakness was this: That
he was q poor Judge Of the personal
loyalty Of men. The men whom be
appointed never betrayed the peoples
they did not steal; they were capable.
But they were not loyal TO Stanley.
Only Allen, Jewett, Flannelly and
Judge Cunningham were represented
ct the end Of 1t. The other hundred
and City men whom Stanley had iav-
ored had other business. 1t may have

formed well, but 1t was not StAnlsy's

Gorgeous Year for Vegetables.

The first seed catalogue, Vicks', is
in. According to the agricultural
! editor Of the Ottawa Herald 1t APP
pears that the Gibson style will pre-
vail in radishes this year. The ma
jority Of these vegetables shown on
the fashion plate are Of long, slender
design, with a flush Of red at the
crown, fading to an almost pure
white at the foundation. Onions are
given the full effect in the bust, and
the tops are dressed without any
flowing ends. Unless somebody has
inadvertently spilled the red ink over
the beets, the prevailing style in this
useful garden product will be rosy
carmine that passes anything pre-
viously seen on the market. Lettuce
has been crossed with cabbage this
winter. while the busy householder
mas been ngnting with the coal fam
inc. This years lettuce has leaves as
broad and fiat as . single and there
seems no way to prepare it for the
table except to run it through the
corn shredder. Roasting ears have
also been perfected during the winter
months. There are no bogus kernels
now, and no traces Of worms, such
as have detracted from the joys Of
the spring feast in the past. The
samples Of the flower garden surpass
the widest dreams Of the poster artist
who dabbles In screaming colors. !
There are to be no subdued tints In |
this years flowers. Even the violet
Is rugged up In hues that can be heard

TO believe that the year 1908 viii

floral productions.

SUIT AGAINST PACKERS.
Attorney General Crow Argues Before the
Missouri Supreme Court on the Alleged
Combustion tn Fix Prices.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 2e.-The
supreme court in banc yesterday aft
ernoon took up the custer suit of
Attorney General Crow against the
packers and arguments will be con-
cluded to-day. Attorney General
Crew opened for the state, reviewing
the testimony as shown by the re-
port of Referee Kinley, and contend
ing that the evidence sustains the
contention of the state that COM
bination exists to control the price
Of fresh beef and pork sold from the
state. The evidence Of the cooler
managers, solicitors and agents
showed that companies were fined
for selling at prices different from
the fixed prices made by cooler man
ayers. He commended that rebates
were given secretly.
Counsel for the packers commended
that evidence from only minor OH
Gals, such as agents and cooler man
ayers and from butchers, was really
hearsay evidence and not competent
to bind companies. Counsel contend
ed that the real combination was
composed Of butchers for the con
troll Of the prices to customers, and
these the attorney general was not
prosecuting.
To-day the alleged selling Of IN
wholesome meat win be discussed.
