will return TO Lexington for a short

be q delegate, having no right Of suh-
rage there is a triple shame.
1 doubt very much if Mr.. Folk
knows iorty-fye gentlemen in Jack
spn county we'll enough to Judge Of
their fitness to represent the county,
and Of course be would be compelled
to listen TO the suggestion OF some
resident there, and Who would this be
in all probability, but the m~alodorous
local "boss" who seems to have man.
ipulated the whole scheme.
Is 1t possible that thele are forty
five gentlemen IN Jackson County
who have so far sunk their manhood
in partisan politics that they will a.
low themselves to be strung on a string
and carried to the convention for use
as required, or TO be gazed at along
with the DeKalb County contingent, as
the Champion machine 4 ade delegates
Of Missouri
The so called delegates will have
been Illegally chosen and will repre-
sent nobody, and the elf-respectfng
delegates, elected by the people from
the other parts of the State, should not
allow them seats 10 the convention.
In the name of honest politics l
protest against any delegates chosen
in such a manner being allowed seats
10 a democratic convention to make
nominations of candidates for honest
men to vote for, and to formulate a
platform to blind the democracy Of
this great State.
l have confidently expected that the
convention would criticise machine
rule, and the usurration Of authority
by committees.
How would such a pocket delegation
look voting on such a resolution Bah!
Mr.. Folk owes it to the sincere men
who believe in him, TO the cOmmon
voters who trust him TO defend Their
rights, and whose loyalty has put him
to the front IN spite of the heavy load
he has been compelled to carry, to al
once decline to participate in such
fraud.
Let him refuse, at once, to be s
party to DISTINGUISHING twenty five
thousand democratic voters.
Such action on his part will JUSTLY
his followers 10 their faith in him.
, l make the prediction here that i
be does not refuse; but makes hlmsel
party to this infamous piece Of hos
sism, be will never be elected governc,
Of the State Of Missouri. Worse
t than all, he will not deserve to be.

The Railroad Amendment

New Orleans, Oct. 2Sth, Backed
by the support of every business
league and commercial organiza-
ton i'm the state, advocated by
the press and applauded 10y the
great majority Of the people, the
proposed railroad amendment bids
fair to become law at the clec
tions on November Sth.
The propaganda begun by the
New Orleans Progressive Union
has met remarkable and quick
success A pamphlet was issued
entitled, "Railroad as State
Builders" and sent to each of the
various business leagues Of the
state requesting them to take ac
ton in confirmation of the pTopO-
sition Up to the present time
every reply has been favorable,
the latest coming from the Provl-
dence Progressive League at
Lake Providence, in which 1t was
stated that this league already
had passed strong resolutions en-
dorsing the proposed amendment
Not only are the business leagues
responding, but Secretary May"
has received great quantity of
letters from private indN iduals
commencing the action of the New
Orleans Progressive Union, and
other business leagues, heartily
approving the amendment \
great many of these letters recite
interesting facts as to the in
crease of property values incident
to the first exemption granted IN
1898 One letter sad that tax
values had increased over half a
million dollars IN his particular
parish This was Jackson Par
ish, and the cause is directly at
uributed to the completing of new
lines of railroad between 1898 and
January LIST, 1904. Mr.. Henry
Mayo Secretary of the New Or
leans Progressive Union, in speak
ing of the matter said:
81 am very greatly pleased with
the success that has met oar
efforts in attempting to create a
sentiment favorable to the rail
road amendment. This is q ques
tion in which every individual in
the state, be he business or pro
fessional man, clerk or farmer.
banker or laborer, is vitally in
terested. Louisiana is lacking in
transportation facilities and there
are hundreds of thousands of
farming lands now
untitled because there is no
means of transporting the pro
luce which might be gathered
were they in cultivation The
Panama Canal will be an accom-
pllshcd fact in a few years. 1t
Dehoves the people to reap the
benefits of this great trade open
ng to the Orient. 1t is asked
hat all new lines of railway be
exempted from taxation for
'eriod of ten years, when construc.

The Trial.

In our report last week of tn,
trial of the Mayor and police un
der charges of ''misdemcanor
and "extortion' we attempted
only brief summary of the evi
dence given by the witnesses on
the stand in the court room. In
the report the following sentence
was used: at was made clear,
however, that the system pre-
vailed through the Fisher admin
Istrati0n,' meaning that the sys
tenn of collecting the funds neces
sary to pay the special officer was
drawn from the keepers of the
establishments of the tender Ioin
district
In an interview with Tx Mayor
John Fisher he states that this
evidence was misleading and re
tiected discredit upon him person
ally.
He called attention to the fact
that while he was elected Mayor,
served as such, and presided over
the meetings of the council, it
must be remembered that the re-
turns OF the election which made
him the city's Mayor, defeated
the candidates for cOuncilmen on
his ticket. This placed him in
the very embarrassing position of
being out of harmony with the
body over which he presided
The acts and mandates of that
council were in many instances
not his.
He further states that the deal
ing with this special question
we've not similar, and that the
acts of the present council could
not have been based upon prece.
dent from his administration.
In this connection Mr.. Frank
Stafford states that he has in his
possession the original subscrip
ton list, showing that his com
pensaUiOn for his services as a
special police was made up from
voluntary contributions on the
part of all who paid him; that he
served as IA "private watchman'
for sometime before he was com
These views are gwen express
sion for the reasOn that some evi-
dcnce brought out at the trial
may have placed others in a false
and discreditable light.
Since writing the above Mr.. |
Stafford brought to this Office the
subscription list above referred to.

Professional and Business Educa
tiOn Compared.

ga young man may take a
course of study in medical college,
and his time, labor and money
may be in measure wasted, be
cause he is not cut out for a doc

ical school, and prove a failure az
a preacher; he may go TO an ag
ricultural college, and never
work OH farm. A young man
may go through life without prac
ticing medicine, preaching a ser
mon or doing a days work on the
farm, but not without having
business relations with his fellow
men. He must buy and sell
something, or he can not live
Hence, while professional edu

The professions are crowded
