Delivered a Magnificent Speech at Pal.
myra, Mo, Last Saturday.

Senator f. M. Cockrell followed
Hon. Joseph Folk in Palmyra last Sat
urday and addressed an assemblage o.
from eight to ten thousand people
Referring to this speech the st. Louis
Republic says:
In great measure he spoke along the
same lines as did the circuit attorney,
He, too, pleaded for the election Of
good men and for honest citizenship.
"You are the sovereign rulers OF the
nation and Of the State, he said. "You
are responsible for the sort Of govern,
ment which you have. We have been
appalled, and inundated by the expos.
urse Of corruption in the national,
State and city governments. We have
found corruption and bribery where
we should have found honesty and In.
tegrity. We have found people using
the government for their own enrich.
ment.
Yet it is no indication OF retro
grading civilization, either In the
United States or in Missouri. 1t is
an indication that the sovereign peo-
pie have not been careful and pains
taking. In selecting oficials, you
have been fortunate in this section Of
the State.
every citizen should attend the
township and county primaries. Hon.
est men must be selected to the con-
%ventious, and these honest men must
nominate honest candidates for office.
No matter how earnest a man may
be In his candidacy, he should not be
selected for honor by any party il bis
character and life show that he is sus-
ceptible to the influence OF bribery or
corruption.
"There is only one policy-absolute
honesty. Evil always comes sooner or
later. Let the people take the matter
into their own hands and the evil will
be e%radicated.
sit is for you to decide what shall
be dOne.n

Dear Sir: Paint is one of the things
that Railroad Companies know all
about. Do you know what "all about"
means? In means, In paint, where to
get it.
We sell the paint for two-thirds Of
the cars and stations and bridges and
everything else, that railroad men
want to keep good-looking and sound,
all over the country.
A man who wants a gallon or two Of
paint knows nothing about 1t; buys
whatever is handy, or gets some
painter to "make" it.
A Railroad Company asks its
chemist: (which is the best?n
The cheapest thing, to preserve or
beautify anything with, is paint. So
the whole world is painted; except, Of

And the paint they use peoples
