The frequent reverses to the Russian
arms at the opening of the war have
apparently reduced the Russians to a
frame of mind to make them applaud
even unimportant skirmishes in which
their forces have gained the ad-
vantage. The official report of Gen.
Kuropatkin indicated that detachments
of no great strength were engaged in
the fighting that resulted in the
Japanese retiring fifteen miles toward
Feng Wang Cheng. and yet the report
was hailed with glad acclaim. Kuro-
patkin reported that it was a de
tachment of the japanese advance
guard" which should have left little
room for rejoicing in thai. it was driven
back by the Russians. The japanese
had thrown the force forward only to
reconnoiter and expected it to retire
on encountering any considerable force
of the enemy. Such is the duty of an
advance guard.

A LOUD "reform" bowler is A.
J.. Summers of Wright county, and
his selection as elector for the 10th
district does not surprise me. AS
to the kind of Democrat he is, per-
NIT me to quote from the Eminence
Current Wave, as staunch and loyal
a Democratic paper as there is in
the State:
The caucus of the 18th district,
at the Jefferson City convention,
selected A. j. Summers, of Wright
county, for Presidential elector.
This is the same Summers that
was a candidate for State Senator
in this district two years ago, and
who sold his support to DR.. G. R.
Norman, one of his opponents,
and failed to deliver it, though he
kept the moneyhe received. SUBJ
sequently Summers bolted the
Democratic nominee, James Orch
ard, and advocated the election OF
j. D. Young, the Republican nomi-
nee, who was elected through aid
of Democratic boilers. The dele
cation at the convention from
Shannon county was L. S. Lovan,
j. w. Copeland and Ed. j. Shuck,
and we are informed that they
voted as a unit for Summers. If
the boiling of Democratic primary
nominees and the supporting Of
Republican nominees entitle men
to Democratic preferment it is a
new rule in our political methods.
and the precedent may prove dis
astrous to Democratic nominees
hereafter.

of the City Council, and as Mayor.
But he inaugurated no crusade
against the corruption of the times.
To turn the argument of the Re-
publican organs against them
selves, he must have had know
ledge of the wrong-doing all about
him, or have been mentally stone
blind. This charging personal
dishonesty against a high official
because there are rogues some
where beneath him, is a boomer
ang, and he who throws it may
receive the hurt he seeks to inflict.

THE st. Louis Star was one of
the Republican papers that shouted
loudly for Folk before his nomi-
nation. But now! Well, the Star
is typically Republican in that it's
party comes first in all considera-
tons. | do not find fault with it
for this: but every Democrat who
swallowed it's utterances and pro-
testations before, has good cause
for feeling aggrieved after. 1t has
dropped Folk ''like a hot potato"
and is advocating his defeat. AS
a sign-board to all weak-minded
Democrats who foolishly gave
their faith to it's utterances, | re-
produce an editorial from the Star,
dated September %, 1908. 1t is a
sample of the "hota air" that paper
so lavishly blew threw the whisk-
ers of Democratic "suckers':
The thoughtful people of this
State will have matters in their
own hands during the next cam
paign. Good government, an
honest vote and a fair count is all
that any of them want. This can
be had, and will be had, provided
Joseph w. Folk is the nominee OF
the dominant party. If nomi-
mated, it goes without saying that
he will be elected by practically a
unanimous vote, and he deserves
to be. The Republicans, if they
desire to be in at the jubilee, would
better take measures, if Folk is
nominated, to legally place him at
the head of their ticket, thus MAX
ing the verdict for the redemption
of Missouri unanimous.
The Republic calls the Stars at
tention to this very pronounced
and unequivocal promise to the
people, and the latter replies by
tn quoquing the former. This may
answer as a flippant rejoinder to
"Old 1908" but it's a mighty poo
defense Of the Stars own honor
and sincerity.

l HAVE been through many a
political campaign, but this is the
first wherein it has been attempted
to raise a doubt of the loyalty OF
the head of the ticket. 1t seems
to me that Mr.. Folk, in his own
interest, ought to voice himself
plainly and unequivocally, no
matter how irresponsible the source
of the insinuation. 1t is one place
where he can easily trip the heels
of Ananias.

For my part, l don't need from
Mr.. Folk a certificate of good
character for Sam. Cook and
Albert Allen; or vice uersa. A
greater authority than either has
set it's seal of approval upon all of
them, and they are my choice from
now on. My "cheek" may be in
evidence sometimes, but lacks the
firmness and dimensions neces-
sary to a proclamation that l am
either bigger or better than the
Democratic party.

If Senator Stone had asked my
advice, | would have said, "Don't."
He could we'll have silently en-
dured the nagging, the insinua-
lions and the vicious lies of such
sheets as the Kansas City Star and
the st. Louis Post-D Dispatch. I'm
corroborated by indisputable evil
dence, no intelligent citizen credits
their statements, and therefore
they are capable of little effect.
But | do submit that, after hound
ing Senator Stone day after day
for months and years, it is the
quintescense of gall in the P.-D. to
say that in his letter of self-de-
tense che subordinates the best
interests of Mr.. Folk as candidate
for the governorship, and the best
interests of the Democratic party,
to the qualification OF private
malice and petty resentment"
"Private malice and petty resent
ment," when he was being pub
licly charged with the gravest po-
~litical crimes, time and again! l
don't say his letter is timeous or
polite, but that it was framed for
the purpose of injuring the party
whose champion he is and has
ever been, is SO utterly preposter-
Gus that such a conception could
be born only of hatred toward him
that, pure and simple.

from Mr.. Cook fully explains the

| AM as strong a believer in
"Bryanism' to-day as | ever was,
and am a greater admirer of Bryan
than before he was tried in the
school of temporary defeat. But,
l for one can gracefully accept the
decision of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention and heartily ad-
vocate the election of Judge Park
er. He is, it is true, a believer in
the gold standard, and vas so in
1896 and 1900. But that did not
prevent his submission to the will
of the party then, and he gave his
influence and of his money-he is
not a rich man-to the conduct of
the Democratic campaign. 1t does
not draw from my stock of mag
nanimity to support such a man.
There ought to be mighty few
Democratic fishing parties on cleo
ton day this year, and no gudg-
IONS to swallow Republican bait.

THAT liars are cheerful figurers
is becoming more pronouncedly
evident as the campaign wakes.
Carroll D. Wright, the Republican
statistician, is automatically fill
ing the dinner-pails and making
everybody content and happy.
The quarter or half million starv-
ing strikers are merely an incident
proving that they haven't sense
enough to ''stand pat" and "let
well enough alone" They ought
to read Wright and let thinking to
those who can intelligently differ
entiate the problem OF happiness.

To Learn American Methods.

Following the custom of the house
of Rothschild of sending its young
men abroad to familiariZe themselves
with business methods of foreign
countries, two scions Of the Vienna
branch of the family of tinanciers
have arrived in this country. They
are Baron Alphonse and Baron Louis
De Rothschild, son Of Baron Albert
De Rothschild of Vienna. Baron Al
phonse has come to study American
banking methods, and during his stay
he will complete his education in
finance under the direction Of August
Belmont in the New York banking
house of August Belmont & Co. This
is said to be the first time that a
member Of the Rothschild family has
been sent to this country to perfect
himself in fnanciering.

Potato Flour,

While Irish potatoes may be eaten
more extensively than any other
American vegetable. it may not be
generally known that they are cap
able of reduction to an excellent -four.
In Austria, according to government
report, the manufacture Of this flour
is an important industry. Corn starch
is largely unknown in Austria. potato
-four being substituted. 1t is stated
to be cheaper than wheat flour and
makes a beautifully light cake. The
potatoes are machined in such man
ner that the starch is separated from
the cells that contain it. Water is
used freely, carrying away the starch
into settling vessels. 1t is then re-
fined, cleansed and dried. The resi-
due is fed to stock and also used in
distilleries. breweries and sugar fac
tories. Potato -four is largely used
by the Israelites in this and other
countries during the Feast OF the Pass
over, for as wheat -four is strictly
forbidden article during that festival.
potato -four is a welcome assistant to
the housewife, who. in her preparation
of "Pesach" dainties, finds it capable
of transformation into delicious cake.

Value Of New Ideas.

The recognition of the value of
new idea, in regard to a business
point, is leading employers to encour-
age criticisms and suggestions from
employees in respect to the details of
the business, thus utilizing their micro
scopic view rather than depending
solely on the bird's-eye view which is
taken by the manager, says Success.
A friendly feeling results from this
attitude. and the employe takes
deeper interest in his work, develop
ing his own capacity and helping the
business. To see his idea carried out
by his superiors puts new life into him
and adds new enthusiasm to his eff
forts. He will work harder to develop
another point and so win this appro-
baton, than he would for any other
compensation.

Lock Your Jaa in the Bottle.

Large locked corks, original in de-
sign. are being shown in the shops
for Christmas presents. All of them
have about as much silver, or nickel,
as cork, but they fit in the average
sized whisky bottle all right. and are
really decoration. Small Yale keys,
only one for each cock. lock the bot
tie as tight as an Office safe. If a
man doesn't happen to leave his bunch
of keys lying around loose his whisky
is perfectly safe from purloining serv.
ants. If he loses his keys he must
break the neck of the bottle to get
at his tipple. No duplicate key can
be made for him.
If man prefers a certain blend Of
whisky, Scotch or American, he can
leave it on his sideboard at home or
take 1t to his club to be called for
when required. Most club men would

When Sumner Wa. honplussed.

A party OF tourists were standing
before the portrait of Charles Sumner

Such strong facet" so intellec-
tual!" $50 serene." were some of the
comments.
An old and feeble man. who leaned
on the arm of guide. heard the
words, and smiled.

When Matt Carpenter was in the Sem
ate he and Sumner had a tilt. l don't
remember what it was about, but
think Matt-he was one of our towns
people. you know. and we all admired
him-Matt flung it at Sumner that he
ought to be sorry for what he had
done.
Never, sir" retorted Sumner, with
emphasis. Never! During all of the
years OF my public life have vet to
look back upon one single public act
that can cause me regret"
Carpenter tossed back the mass Of
gray hair that shaded his forehead,
and exclaimed in tone of rapture:

CeIiuIoid a Menace.

The unrestricted sale of articles
made of celluloid, which is practically
guncotton, for any purpose whereby
such article IS liable to come into
contact with fire, should on no ac-
count be allowed, says the Lancet. We
believe there are other dangerous sub
stances related to guncotton which go
under other names and which are also
used for similar purposes and should
be likewise banned. 1t may be that
the inflammability of celluloid is some
times somewhat counteracted by ad-
mixture with substances with an op.
posite tendency, but the difficulty is
to distinguish the combustible from
the incombustible. At all events some
warning should be inscribed on the
articles made Herewith. and they
should be marked highly infam-
mable.' or with some other EQUALLY
premonitory and protecting device.
