SHOULD KEEP LEVEL HEADS.

That was q very unfortunately
worded and inopportune letter sent
out to some country editors by Mr..
Mcleod, representing the business
mems league supporting Mr.. Folk
for Governor. The fact that he
claims ninety per cent OF the people
supporting his candidate wouldle
thsclsss be is pleased to term thieves.
thugs and tricksters as q very small
minority. But, seriously, no candi-
date, or his friends for him, have the
right to arrogate unto one man or
set OF men all the virtues and con-
denim the opponents with all the
vices. The democratic party Is COM
posed OF the very best and most
progressive citizens in the state, and
no one will deny that some bad men
clip into the organization. The sue
cess OF the party doesn't rest with
any one man. There are many good
and worthy men in the democratic
party who would creditably al the
office OF governor. The contest for
the nomination should be carried on
between democrats In a gentlemanly
and dignified way, with the fact ever
before them that whoever Is the sue
cessiul candidate he must be Loyalty
supported against the common enc
my by a united democracy.
A candidate should not be held re
sponsible for the unauthorized acts
OF his friends. In this instance Mr..
Folk denies that he had any knowl-
edge OF the letter before it was sent,
and Mr.. Mcleod assumes full respon-
sibility. 1t appears to be one OF
those cases when a man should pray
to be delivered from his friends. Mr.
Folk prt misses to state his position
on the issues which will be considered
in this campaign fully and clearly in
his opening campaign speech to be
delivered in st. Joseph on October
oath. In the meantime let Demo
Gratis keep level heads and give all a
respectable hearing. Mr.. Folk and
his friends may rest assured that u
ninety per cent, or even fiity.one per
cent OF the democrats OF the state
are for him he will be nominated and
trlumphantly elected Governor.

What Happened to Nugent.

When we were publishing paper
in Mt. Vernon, Ill 4, on the second
floor, q store was opened In the room
under our Office. The senior proprie-
tor came upstairs and contracted for
three columns Of space for twelve
months, locals each issue and 1850
dodgers each week. This firm start
ed on borrowed capital. In less than
two years 1t had money enough to
start two stores, one In Sedalia and
one In st. Louis. 1t dissolved part
nership and each partner took field
to himself. Bryon Nugent was the
partner who is now the senior men,
Der OF B. Nugent 4 Bros, Of the great
st. Louis house. He not only owns
the store buildings and grounds, but
is erecting q modest little cottage
which will cost $4,000. We must
add that some Of the old mossbacks
who were in business in Mt. Vernon
before Bryon Nugent ever saw the
place, are still grumbling about dull
trade and hard times,-Pine Bluff

Probate Court Records.

For several weeks past Mr.. S. T.
Broaddus, ex.county clerk, has been
at work on the papers of the Probate
office. The papers were in bad shape,
owing to the fact that there was no
place to keep them properly, and the
fact that the office had been moved
several times in the past three or
four years. Mr.. Broddus has gone
through the papers OF all theestates,
both settled and unsettled, number
ed and indexed the estates, so that
any paper wanted can be easily
found. The work was greatly need.

Mr.. Folk to Confer With the President.

Folk, circuit attorney, departed at
II o'clock over the Big Four for
Washington, D. G., where he will con

the advisability of having bribery
made an extraditable ofiense in
trea ties with all nations. The trip
is made at the wish OF the president.
Mr.. Folk has made two trips to
Washington on similar missions. He
secured the adoption ola clause with
Mexico which makes bribery extra
ditablo, but did not succeedin having
it made retroactive. Ellis wainwright

that the treaties may be so framed

ucnt.
Clinton Democrat, Oct. l.
Sam Penland had most excruci-
sting experience on Thursday after
noon.
He was engaged in chopping. wood
out in the timber close to Grand
river, southwest Of Clinton. He
climbed up in tree some fifteen feet
to chop off large limb, and when it
was partly chopped off, it fell in such
a way as to pinion his leg to the
trunk crushing it from point above
the knee to several inches below.
Finding he could not work himself
lose, Penland shrieked for help. 1t
was a lonely spot but after over an
hour, he attracted some negroes
across Grand river. To reach him
they had to go up to the bridge, and
after they finally reached the tree
where he hung helpless and nearly
dead from pain, they could devise no
way to free him. They went back to
the road and hailed a white man
passing by, who first tied Penland to
the tree with a rope and then cut off
the partly severed branch. Penland
was then lowered after hanging in the
tree three hours.

Peculiar State of Affairs Now Exists in
California.

San Francisco, Oct. 3.-The su.
preme court to-day sustained the
validity OF the state divorce law
which provides a decree of divorce
shall be an interlocuatory one, which
shall not become absolute until one
year after it has been granted. The
question is one OF great interest, in
volving many cases In which beings
OF superior courts have ignored law
which was recently enacted, and have
granted final DEGREES, at the same
time expressing their belief that the
Legislative act was unconstitutional.
In view OF these judicial opinions,
several marriages Of divorced people
have already taken place within the
prescribed time. By the decision OF
the supreme court just rendered,
these are in effect null and void.

Is M'LE0D TO PROVE
Mr.. FOLKS BURCHARD?
Says Opposition to Folk Relies
on Thievery, Thuggery
and TriCkery.

The following letter was sent out
to some Democratic editors suppos-
ed to be friendly to Mr.. Folk by Mr..
Mcleod, representative OF the st.
Louis business mems committee ia
voring Mr.. Folk for Governor:
St. Louis, Sept. 2S, 1908.
Dear Sir
Although it is conceded that 90
per cent OF the Democratic voters OF
Missouri are for Joseph Folk for
Governor, certain INSCRIPTIONS polit-
ical manipulators loudly boast that
they will be able to defeat Folk by
thievery, thuggery and trickery in
the large cities of the state. II the
honest yeomanry of Missouri are
active, however, all the powers ofevil
cannot prevail.
Mr.. Folk is a Democrat who sup
ported the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms. and believes In the princi-
piles therein enunciated. Because his
official record is admired and ap-
proved by all good citizens, regard
less Of party, we hear it said that the
Democrats do not want man who
has friends in the opposition party.
Heretofore the man who could poll
the most votes from the opposition
was considered the strongest candi-
date. Senator Cockrell, for instance,
is strong with the voters OF both
parties; he always gets a heavy Re-
publican vote. This is his strength,
not his weakness. Yet some might
claim that the Democrats do not
want a man who is popular with all
classes.
The question now is, can the Demo-
cratic party afford to let the bood-
lers select the Democratic ticket?
Honest Democrats have a right to
be suspicious of man like Mr.. Reed,
who is popular with boodlers. Mr..
Folk is the hated enemy Of the hood
lers. His nomination would be the
most bitter dose that could be given
to the boodlers OF Missouri.
The crowd opposing Mr.. Folk are
dominated largely by Doodle infu.
ences. They are not good Demo
Gratis, for they would prefer to have
thestat go Republican than to have
Folk elected governor. II they can
not control the party they will try
to wreck 1t. The bitterness OF theil
opposition, and the conspicuous dis.
regard Of truth they display in theil
opposition shows this. Look around
you in your own county, and see thu
class Of fellows opposing Mr.. Folk
and draw your own conclusion.
Mr.. Folk can poll 100, 900 NOR
votes than any other man who would
be nominated. With him at the heat

treatment for soft bones in
