The cockren Resolution.

The following Is the resolution IN
auiomusly passed at the Moberly demo-
cratic rally, Oct. II.
GAN Missouri Democrats love ME-
souri, and delight in whatever tends to
increa'e her glory and delight. They
are proud of the fact that she stands as
the foremost Democratic staie IN the
Union, and thst her incompatible
Democracy exercises a commanding
influence IN the national councils of
the party. Believing, as we do, that
the political signs are prophetic OF a
great democratic victory in 1904, and
feeling that Missouri is entitled to lead
the united Democracy of the nation in
that mighty contest, the Democrats
composing TINS great assemhlage gath
cred from all sections Of the Sta'e, pro-
pose to the Democrats of NJ ssouri that
they instruct their delegates to the next
Democratic national convention to pre-.
sent to that convention the name OF
Senator Francis Marion Cockrell for
nomination to the cfice of President
of the United States This we do be-
cause we recognize that his high char-
acter, his long experience N the pub.

conservative craftsmanship pre-emin-

for the high duties Of the great off G

The Teachers Association.
hers and School Boards :

To Teachers and School Boards:
Permit me call your attention to two
very important points that effect the
educational welfare of your county.
The meetings now being held
throughout the State are largely at
tended by teachers and patrons. With
very few exceptions all teachers in the
county have attended and in many
counties large numbers of directors.
1t is a season of educational rally.
When the meeting is held in your
ty, attend and make It contribute to the
Improvement of your school. Some of
the main points to be emphasized are a
systematic course of study, thorough
organization and articulation of all the
schools a full utilization of all the
means provided by the state for better
preparation of teachers. The school
library, the modren school house and
proper school sanitation and decoration
should be discussed. Directors and
patrons should attend these meetings
and encourage the work.
A SCHOOL LIBRARY FRAUD.
A scheme similar to the one oper-
ated by w. B. Lawrence so success
fully in Grundy, Daviess, johnson,
Sullivan and Moniteau counties more
than a year ago has recently been
operated in Madison, Warren and ST..
Farncois counties by a company known
as the ''Congress Publishing Co." It
is stated that agents of this company
say that their library has been in.
dorsed by the state superintendent OF
by the state board of education and
leave the impression that they as agents
IN some way represent the State IN
selling school libraries. This is q false
pretense and all school boards are here
by warned against such.
1t seems to be the purpose of these
agents to secure school warrants and
sell them to the banks, and in many
instances the books are never de-
livered. So far as I have imformatlou
the books are not we'll suited TO supple.
ment the regular school work and they
are sold for two or three times as much
as they can be purchased from we'll
known dealers as Boland OF st. Loui:
or McClurg of Chicago. School board,
should consult their county commits
sloner or state superintendent and gel
the official 'List of Library Books
before buying books.

An Annual Free Tea.

Mr.. Auberon Herbert is a young
err son of the third earl of Carnar-
Won. He is of a gentle, philosOph-
ic nature, for whom nobody has
an unkind word. Every year
he gives a free tea lasting three
days, to which thousands gladly
flock, at his place near Bourne
mouth. The first two days are for
tradespeople and farmers, and the
third for the gypsies, but anyone
who likes can go. The tea is
served in a beautiful glade in his
grounds, and there is music and
dancing, while the patriarchal,
looking host goes around among
his guests seeing that they are
having plenty of refreshment and
enjoyment.

ARTISTIC SWEETS.

The Chief Patisssris Is an Important
Functionary Nowadays.
"'They had their best hats on the
table and ate out of hem, said an
excited maid in a household OF
moderate circumstances who had
been invited by the servants in a
family of great wealth to see the
table decorations at an elaborate
function.
She was right about the hats,
says the Washington Star, and
they were large enough and quite
effective enough for any woman to
delight in wearing, but theywould
not have been comfortable, for
they were made of sugar.
The average housewife is apt to
consider the sugar work Of the
cOnfectiOner as a thing of the past
and not now to be considered in
good taste. This is quite true as
she remembers the big, elaborated
wedding cakes, monuments of fill
gree work, which were a glory
some time ago. Now, as a rule,
the wedding cake is seen by the
guests at a wedding only in small
pieces as it appears in the indi'
vidual boxes, and the brides cake,
which is cut at the table, is a sim
pie affair.
That is the fashion with the up
to-date American, but in places
where there is a large German pop
ulatiOn these cakes are still to be
found, and the decorations have
increased rather than diminished.
Germans are believers in home
festivals, and at birthdays, as we'll
as wedding and other anniyer.
saries, turtle doves, Cupids, little
brides and grooms and other SEN
timental emblems decorate their
cakes along with wedding bells,
orange blossoms and emblematic
things of all kinds for different oc-
casiOns.
With the decline of the senti-
mental symbols in fashionable so.
ciety there has been a development
of sugar work in more artistic
designs, which are used for recep.
tacles for ices and bOnbons, and
they help to bring the cost Of the
feasts of the rich into the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
Hats, which surprised the mod
est little serving maid, are afavOr-
lite form of decoration. They ap

1t was distinguished by a fluffy

There was never a time when
things emblematic we're in such
general demand in every way.

A Disappointed Pack.

The public thieves and bribe-glV-
ers and takers and general corrup-
tionists of Pennsylvania who had a
plant Legislature to pass and a
plant Governor to sign a most
drastic libel law a few weeks ago,
have laid a disappointment for them
selves. Whitening under the lash
ings of an honest press, they hoped
to silence it by threats of the peni-
Tertiary and of punitive damages
and pursue their corrupt practices
without exposure; but the newspa-
pers as if by a common understand
ing, continue their cartoons and
comments, picturing the thieves as
they are and telling the public the
things about them that it has a
right to know and ought to know.
In a word, the papers have called
the bluff of the politicians. There
have been no indictments under the
new law for the reason that the
felons do not want a showdown,
and that is what trial by jury means.
To institute a prosecution and then
have the allegations upon which it
was based made good, is to render
the last state of the prosecutor worse
than the frst-it were better to have
left the charge unanswered and un-
noticed. The best defence in a libel
suit is to have your facts right in
the first place and then to have them
available, under which conditions
the sued can stand pat. This is
evidently the policy that has been
adopted by the Pennsylvania press.
More power TO it's elbow!-Char-
lotte Observer.

Three weeks ago the Enterprise
had an editorial on the Hessian Fly.
The wide-awake editor of The Pro
gressive Farmer referred it to the
fly and bug expert of the Agricul-
tural Department. It brought forth
a very timely article from Professor
Sherman on the habils of the fly and
the way farmers can best proceed
in fighting it. He says the time to
begin against the fly is Immediately
after harvest. By blowing the stub
bic under deeply the insects are suf-
located and there will be none to lay
eggs on the young wheat in the fall.
If this theory is correct, it explains
why the fly is worse in Catawba, Lin
coin and other counties of this Sec
ton than anywhere else in the State.
It has been the general custom here
to SOW each field in wheat every two
years. After a crop is cut the field
is not plowed again until the next
year.-Newton Enterprise.

The loss of life by food and storm
within the past two weeks is simply
appalling. At Gainesville, Ca, the
number of deaths caused by cyclones
is 95 and in addition about 200 per
sons were seriously injured. Besides
that, hundreds of persons are de-
pendent on charity and the property
loss runs up into the hundreds of
thousands. At Clifton and Pacolet,
S. O., So are known to be dead as a
result of the awful floods last Satur-
day, $4,000 people are out of work
and millions of dollars worth of
property was destroyed. In the west
the Mississippi floods have rendered
$4,000 people homeless, drowned 20
or more people, put 100000 acres of
farming lands under water, paral-
yzed traffic and entailed a loss of
100000. We repeat-it is simply
appalling.-Concord Times.
