Stay in Missouri.

We recently heard an old
m an, one who has seen much of
this country, a man of great in
teilig ence, a close observer, d
man who makes good use of his
eyes aud ears and who remem.
bers W hat he sees and hears, a
man who spent his youth aud
younger manhood in an Eastern
State, who has been a resident
of the South and who has spent
a plumber Of years as a farmer
in Missouri, say that he had
told his friends who are resi-
dents of Missouri that they will
do well to stay here, that while
there may be some disadvant-
ages there are many advaut-
ages in Missouri that are not
found elsewhere.
1t was good advice. Missouri
is by no means a paradise but it
is a good state in which to
make a home. 1t is not perfect
but it averages well, it aver
ages with the best because it is
among the best. Some things
may be found in other states
that are better but there will be
a whole lot of things found that
are not so good.
Missourians have gone west
and south and have done well,
have found pleasant homes, no
doubt, but Missourians have

Don't Be a KnOcker.

Generally speaking, the per.
son who sits on the street cor.
ner and talks against every Off
Ger, enterprise and interest of
the town is called a knocker,
but bis influences are limited,
because he puts nothing but
talk into his town killing"
The mystery is why person
should select to stay in such
place, yet we see people living
in our town for years and never
have the patriotism to speak a
good word for it.
We have another class, of
knockers that does fully as
much injury and vet are rarely
heard to say aught about the
town. They. are the persons
that draw all their living from
the town and community.
whether they be day laborers
or professional men. and send
away to other towns for their
machinery. dry goods or grocer
cries. or patronize some mail
order house that does not send
them back a cent directly or in
directly, neither makes it pos
sible to increase the amount OF
work in town or raise the price
of labor. -. .
Sending money away from
town is like lmpoverishing a
falm by raising tarm products
and selling them without re-
storing the soil; if the farm
cannot stand the constant
drain, neither can the town.
Thinks it business to send
money away for goods that car
be bought at home? Suppose
our merchants and people
should import all our black.
smiths, carpenters and day
laborers; would you not regis
ter a complaint, and rightly
too. If our town does it's best
each citizen must work for the
towns good.-Hardin News.

done afl'of that at home with
out taking the chances that
people must always take VIII
seek new homes. There are OPP
pOrtunities, doubtless. IN newer
states than in Missouri and 10
the territories for men I o obtain
farms, 10 get land of their own,
that do not exist in Missouri,
and there are cases where young
and vigorous men may do well
to embrace such opportunities
to become land holders, but the
man who owns a Missouri farm
had BETTER think twice before
be sells it, even at the advanced
price that Missouri lands have
been commaD ding for some few
years past, and starts out to
buy cheaper land. His cheaper
land may prove to be very
costly land before he gets it in
as good shape as the Mis-
souri, farm that he has parted
with for the purpose of better
ing his condition. He may find
that instead of lettering his
condition that it has become far
worse. In short, we do not see
why man who is the owner OF
a good Missouri farm, unencIm-
bered, need want TO better his
condition.
Missouri is a good state to
come TO, it is a good state 10
stay in. 1t is state of pros.
porous homes, of good schools
and churches. 1t is a state in
which a farmer can raise al
most anything he wants to raise
1t is a state with a good class
of people. AS we have said be-
fore in the Gazette, the citizen
ship of Missouri, especially OF
North Missouri, lis made up of
people from all parts of the
country, a people who. by con

people to live part of.-Brook-

AFTER much unseemly wrang-

for Folk at an early day, when

Cook is my neignbor, constitu-
ent and friend. Consequently
l feel perfectly free to speak
my mind as to both of them.
"Mr. Folk stands distinctive
ly for purity in legislation and
for the rigid and impartial en-
forcement of the law. His fame
which extends to every portion
of the earth where our language

it with brave heart and reso-

The average Republican, as
we'll as the average Democrat,
is thoroughly honest. Thous-
ands OF Republicans before his
nomination vowed openly and
aboveboard that they would
vote for him in November.
There can be no doubt that they
will keep their word. Many
perhaps most. of the Republi-
can metropolitan papers, to-
gether with the independent
press of Missouri, to which must
be added some NJ ssouri Repub-
lican papers, advocate the
same course.
"Mr. Cook declared himself
publicly TO be as much in favor
of purity in legislation and the
strict enforcement of the law as
Mr.. Folk himself, and pledged
himself to uphold the hands of

contrary was rec 'ntlv trIe. a

Dcmocraaic stete Committee.

ALBANY. n. y. March 5.-Upon the
casting of two votes in the Democratic
state committee. which meets today in
this city. depends the decision of Ques-
tons of the gravest moment to the De-

tion. Judge Alton b. Parker's friends.
headed by David B. Hill, seem to con-
troll the situation by bare majority.
They are absolutely confident that they
will be able to hold their forces in line.
The opponents of Judge Parker, head
ed by Charles f. Murphy. leader of
Tammany Hall, are fighting desperate
ly to turn the scale. One question that
will come before the state committee
for decision is the time and place for
holding the state convention that will

wants the convention held in this city

City Water Officials Account for
the Low Pressure at Yester-
day Mornings Fire.
WENT THROUGH METER
Fire Plug at Which the Hose was Attached
Yesterday Did not Have Direct Connec
tion with the City's Main-The Supply
Came Through Lehish Valley Four inch
Meter.

Much comment has been raised by
the failure to get sufficient pressure
at the fire at the Perth Amboy Smelt-
ing and Refining Company's plant
Yesterday owing to the fact that
that it was located on low ground and
the new connection on the south side
of the river Is said to have benefited
the average pressure somewhat.
Water Department offioinls, this
morning, explained that the supply
at the hydrant from which an at
tempt was made to secure water for
the fire is part of the Lehigh VAL
ley supply and, instead Of the pressure
coming direct from the cijv main it
came through The four-inch tap of the
LehigE Valley and it all passed
through the four-inch meter. 1t is
said the city pressure was we'll up all
Yesterday morning. The Lehigh Val
ley four-inch pipe leads to tank on
