SOME EVEN bets are already being made on
the result of the municipal election in Balti-
more next month. The friends of Congress
man Wachter, who is the Republican nominee
for mayor, appear confident of his election.
He has never been beaten, they say, and he is
sure to keep up his record.
IT WAS supposed that heavy Government ex-
penditures during March would prevent sur
plus for the month, but the revenue kept
ahead by s447, 900. The surplus for nine
months of the fiscal year is sS3,OOO,OOO, fine
showing to follow the complete removal of the
war taxes.

EVERYONE is wondering about the variety
and expression of President Roosevelts tour
ing speeches. The New York Sun which is
very overwhelmed to indulge in latent or open
sarcasm when discussing the Presidents opin-
ions, give this expression to common sur
prise: "As the present series of Presidential
speeches broadens and grows in print, wonder
increases at the marvellous industry manifested
in the undertaking for these important ut
terances on so many and such various themes
OF public interest must have been maturely
considered, perfected as to thought and argu-
ment and even polished in literary form, not
in a period of comparative leisure but during
the stress of session of Congress that crowded
Mr.. Roosevelts hours with exacting duties
and unavoidable cares" Commenting on
these remarks the Lancaster Examiner says
this only illustrates the old saying that if you
wish anything done ask a busy man." The
President long since came to the conclusion
that the excuse of mo time" belongs to the
dictionary of incompetents. He accomplishes
much because he has learned how to econo-
mize time. Then, too. he is not lazy when he
finds the opportune moment

Republican Attitude Toward the Re-
publican Judgeship.
Rel1ir Tirues

Judge James d. Waters successor will be
chosen at the next election and already num-
Der of Democratic candidates are in the field
to secure the nomination. The importance OF
the office and the general desire that whoever
may be chosen shall be pre-eminently quail
fed to fill this high position has given rise to
considerable discussion as to the attitude Of the
Republicans. Shall the Republicans nominate
a candidate for the Judgeship?
1t has frequently happened OF late years IN
this State and other States where the candidate
of one party was pre-eminently fitted for the
judicial Office for the opposition party to either
endorse that candidate or refrain from making
q nomination against him.
The Democratic party being numerically
stronger in the two counties comprising the
Third Judicial Circuit, they are under the
heavy obligation Of nominating a man for this
Office whom everyone can accept as measuring
up to this high standard This is surely one
office which of all others should be removed
as far as possible from partisan bias, and while
the Republicans of Hartford have most excel
lent material from which to choose. 1t is be-
lieved that if the Democrats will name q can
didate in whom all the people have confidence
that they would willingly abstain from max
ing a nomination. Should this not be done It
would place upon the Republicans the duty OF
furnishing such a candidate.

Marion Senator Attacks Every Meas

fsfHl BI<lt StENlAIS
Jefferson City. Mo-. Feb. 17.-Senator Clay
Heather of Marion was on the warpath this
morning and made life miserable for two
or three of the Senators who had bills uT
each bill and succeeded in preventing any
of them from passing the Senate.
One of the bills against which Heather
inveished was pushed by Lee of Carter ant
whereby farmers would be compelled to cut
hedges surrounding places not now GOV;
that he did not believe in telling any
farmer what he should do.
As far as / am concerned he said
the farmers are sovereign. and anything
Bradley of Johnson asked Lee who the
man was who wished to compel-hi neigh

fence '.srubbed up. billed and the water
poured into the hole" Morton of Ray final
that 1t be laid over informally
Another House bill which aroused the op-
position of Heather provided that Justices
of the Peace be permitted TO appoint clerks
with, power to administer oaths. etc. My
people don't want this BILL" said Heather.
and don't propose to impose it's OBJ
noxious provisions on any community if
l can help it, Martin of Saline Joined with
Heather and said that a 16-year-old Girl
could he Justice of the Peace under the
provisions of the measure. McIndoe.s de-
fcnse of the bill was of no effect, for it was
defeated by vote of 10 to Is.
Two years ago Governor Dockery worked
for the passage of bill authorizing him
to appoint a pardon attorney. This session
a bill was introduced with the adninistra-
tion's approval. providing for the aborIsn-
ment of the office as the Governor never
appointed he attorney. Some of the SEN
ators thought that their privileges were
icing sighted. Clay Heather took UP the
gauntlet.

A cORKER,
But Not Much Of a Pastor,

There was an old Clergyman in Centra,
New York State some years ago who was
a very powerful speaker hut whose pr.-
vate life was by no means exemplary Some
OF the more outspoken of his parishioners
were in the habit of demonstrating with
him regularly about this and his reply in
variably was: Don't do as / do: do as /
tell YOU to do
1t Is SO with a great many physicians.
There are hundreds Of medical men who
fully understand the folly Of drinking coffee
and tea, who tell their patients moi TO
drink either, yet who use one or the other
themselves. But sometimes it knocks even
the doctor out and he has to quit Old King
Coffee. A physician of Wasioja, Minn
says: Il was a liberal user of coffee from
my youth, and my health broke down while
at college. in 1880. at 25 years of age but l
continued to use coffee until 1885, although
was nervous and suffered constantly from
a condition known as diabetes insipldus. a
condition that is well known to be due to
no diet or tonic medicines We're sufffcient tn
restore my vitality and strength
I'm 1895 became suspicious of coffee and
] broke of the habit by taking up Postum
Since that time my nerves have become
strong and well. and my weight has in
creased about 30 pounds Well boiled. it is
a delicious heaithful drink heavy with
strength and muscle making qualities"
Name furnished by Postum Co., Battle
Creek Mich.
Even IL your physician does drink coffee.
you had better do as he tells You to do
Give Postum a trial. That's the easy way
TO shake or coffee and get well and keep
well.

APPROPRIATION BILLS REPORTED.
House Committee Presents Measures
Affecting University and General
Fund.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Jefferson City. Mo-. Feb. 17.-Mr. Weaver
of Jefferson. chairman of the House Com
mittee on Appropriations. introduced two
bills this afternoon. One appropriates
money for the State University and edu-
cational institutions, and the other for in
cidental expenses of the State government.
The first bill named makes the following
appropriations:
Kirksvile Normal. s4s.soO; warrensburg
Lincoln Institute. s5i.s5o; State University.
sl4S.7O Rolla School of Mines. So. 900: re-
apptogristeSa unyeySids MI Mnss ss reappro
In addition to these direct appropriations
to the university. the moneys arising from
the various funds belonging to the institu-
tion are also appropriated.
The State University. in the reported bill
receives from the general revenue fund
sl52. 700 and the School of Mines So. .0Oo
State Auditor. and is less than that APP
propriated two years ago.
INHERITANCE TAX.
The appropriation from per cent of the
University is s5ls411 and from one-tifth of
the collateral inheritance tax is $il6,GG0 for
the School of Mines. 1t is pointed out
lateral inheritance tax being attacked in
the courts, and payment thereof suspend
ed. Should this law be attacked. except for
fund for the maintenance of the university
and the School of Mines, these institutions
would be compelled to close their doors
until the Legislature, in special session,
made provision for their support.
Under the bill no amount of money can
be paid from the Inheritance tax fund un-
til it is collected and paid into this fund.-
which has been set apart by legislative en-
actment for the support of the University
and the School of Mines. If the money
does not come into the fund it cannot be
paid out.
The estimate of the State Auditor is that
the collateral inheritance tax will amount
tn tI,sar fu-n tha To-
Is not attacked in the courts. 1t may
amount to more and the Appropriations
Committee. recognizing this possibility,
recommends the amount given. On the con-
trary. it may be materially less and the
committee hence placed a sufficient amount
of the appropriations for the University and
the School of Mines in the general revenue
fund to insure the actual existence of these
institutions for the next two years.

Sherman opened fire upon the adminstra-
tion tactics in the Assembly through a
statement issued by him tonight.
A month and half has passed and lit
lie is done. Sherman brands this fact upon
the administration In ,unfnistakable Ian
guage. %sS
1t shows that the Republicans in Illinois
are as far apart as ever. Sherman still is
In the ring and still has many with him-a
majority OF the Senate and good representa-
ton in the House. He still is "out for the
Governors scalp" and there is a good rea-
son to think that he will get it.
There is no excuse says he, for this
session Of the Legislature to last much more
than three months. We ought to be out
of here not much later than the middle OF
April.
"The mere matter. however, of adjourning
q few weeks or even a month earlier Is not
Of as much value as the enactment OF need
ed remedial legislation The claim that item
izing the appropriations will obstruct busi-
ness and prevent an early adjournment is
what are We here for? Not to rush
through millions of dollars of blanket APP
preparations. We ought to do business by
through in bulk millions of dollars of ap-
7 preparations ought to be opposed by every
honest man In the House.
"What's all this noise about obstruction?
Who has obstructed anything? Some of my
