My learned friend has thrown only an argument ad hominy upon my teeth, that my clients witnesses are all her own re- lations, But they are not near relations. Their relationship is only homeopathic.

The Largest Law School is the
Central West.

A recent investigation shows that the
University of Missouri has the largest
law school between Chicago and San
Francisco. The total enrolment for
the year just closed was 1876 which is
an increase of nearly ninety per cent
owe the year before, Much of this ln-
crease it is believed is due to important
improvements made in the work
offered. The course is now three
years In length aud practice courts COL
responding to the various Missouri
courts, inferior and superior, are in
session every day of the school year.
The faculty will consist of four full
professors next year besides the quiz
masters. The present law faculty 1t is
believed is the best the university has
ever had.

The Bow Who Farms

The time is past when people will
believe that the boy who farms is the
one of all Others who needs no prepar-
alton for bis life work than that which
be gains from the hard school Of per-
sonal experience. 10 agriculture as IN
other professions the boy may profit
by the cumulative experience OF his
race and This experience can best be
learned at the agricultural college.
Commenting upon this, the Pblladel
pbia %luquirer says:
Thirty years ago scientific educa-
ton in agriculture was snlffed at By
farmers. They thought it as useless
and SILLY to 90 to school to learn farm
ing as for a girl to teach her grand
mother how to knit socks. All one
needed to learn about farming was by
practical application. The theory was
( Use and one result was that the
brightest young men left the farm for
business or the professions, while the
billiards stayed at home and titled the
,oil, But a new order of things has
come about and the younger men are
'eeing the advantage of this sort of
education. 1t requires as high tech
meal training to be a good farmer as q
good physician, and those who know
are winning the prizes. Improved
methods. the country telephone and
the free rural delivery have made farm
life much more attractive than former
ly. In fact, it is becoming the ambition
1t the young men to stay on the farm
and get bigger ones Of their own.
That is very laudable. There is moth.
ng the country needs much more than
improved agriculture, as the time is
coming when intensive methods mus
oe used ia feed the population. Tue
Young man on the farm who thinks be
would like to go to the city is probably
making a mistake"
This is sound advice. The boy who
'ontemplates entering college this fall
would do well TO consider agriculture
carefully as his life work, To the
Missouri farmer boy, the Missouri
College Of Agriculture at Columbia
offers the best opportunities in the
direction of training to proftably till
the broad and productive acres of our
'tate. Here a boy will get not only
the best experience of Missouri farmer
but the best of farmers everywhere so
ar as that experience is applicable to
Missouri soil and climate. This is a
cumulative fund of experience that one
has no business working out for him.
self and the Missouri Agricultural Col
Iege is the best agency to impart it to
The young farmers Of our state.

Independent Newspapers.

"muepeDuehl newspapers.
In a leading editorial IN which the
New York Herald Independently comes
out u%Dreservedly for Judge Parker,
the writer has ibis to say Of President
Roosevelt:
"Hls imperialism and his dielatorial
ways, together with hIs revival Of the
race issue in the South and other
rough rider fads, have awakened
among the people a distrdst of Mr..
Roosevelt and the republican party.
"Mr. Roosevelt has the support of
bis intimate friends and his political
protegos, but conservative people eye
him with distru9t. They acknowledge
that he is %irreproachable as an indl-
vidual-that he is a staunch patriot, a
good husband, q loyal friend. But
they doubt his capacity for seli-con-
troll, distrust his judgment and question
his conception OF presidential duties.
"He evidently thinks the president
of the United States is a sort OF die
tator, while the people rightly regard
him merely as their chief magistrate,
as the head Of the administration
This dOmineering conception Of his
official duties has excited widespread
resentment among republicans"
