small coterie of selfish Democratic

each day. 1t has been shown by
the confessions of Lieut.. Coy.

who dominated the legislature sold
themselves to the monopolistic cor
porations and shaped legislature in
the interests of these corporations
by which the latter are permitted
to legally fleece the people of Mis-

The leaders of the ring, who are
also high in state Offices, knew that
this bargaining away of the peoples

on for years, and yet they made no
effort to stop it. And the ma

President says that men guilty of
criminal assault upon women or Of

Eleven years ago brakeman on
a Missouri railroad had both legs

the case. But in June of this year
the court reversed itself, and the
brakeman will get nothing unless
allowed a rehearing. The railroad
company was granted three re-
hearings. A newspaper editor Mt
Warrcnsburg denounced the re-
versal by the state supreme Judges
as corrupt. If he could not prove
the charge before a jury he was
subject to the penalty for libel.
But he was not tried by jury or al

The Importance of the country
newspaper is rarely considered. 1t
is, to the body journalistic, what
agriculture is to the body politic-
tho bone and sinew Of it all-the
feeder of the big metropolitan
journals whose tbnnderous roar is
but the concrete sound of the busy
voices of the rural press.
The country papers are the
thousand small streams that flow
into the maelstrom Of the metropo-
lis, the various couriers which go
swiftwinged with their tidings to
the great herald arteries that
throb out our states to the world.
And again, we say that the edi-
tor who, IN the full light OF his re-
allied responsibility, fulfills to the
extent of the man that is in him
the high, graphing duties of bis
station, is citizen who ought to
wear the laurel.
Brave little sheet that it is wrap
ped in its history thousand heart
aches and cramped ambitions, of
bitter sacrifices herocially made,
without Il blot upon its record OF
faith purity, and not toul, scan
daIous line to mar the symmetry
of its truth and constancy.

is tho quiet, golden-heartcd gentle
man, stainless and pure as the
