A "Yaller Dog" Editor.

In the last issue Of the Montgom-
cry Standard, its editor tells its
readers that he is Of the "Yaller
Dog variety In politics." That he
votes 'er straight every time-good
bad, or Indifferent. That he is a
democrat from the ground up, and
always expects to be. That no Is
as obedient to the demands of his
party members as a galley slave
Is to his master. and that he has
no will or mind Of his own after
his party leaders have spoken.
That though he may bc an ardent
advocate and believer In n gold
standard currency, he Is willing to
stultify his conscience and support
free silver; and so of anything
else. He will accept the ticket his
party makes for him, and vote 1t
straight, Doodle or no Doodle.
Now you can't reason with such a
character as this Standard editor
Is, any more than you can with
Texas steer. We have al
ways been of the opinion
that the highest type of an
American citizen was one who re-
gardcd his paramount allegiance
to be his home and country first
and his party next. So that when
ever the dictates of mans con-
science disapprove of party
measure that would be hurtiul 10
his country he would have brains
enough and should exercise tins
superior right to work and vote
against 1t. No man deserves to be
called an American citizen who
acts otherwise. and for the good OF
the country and the state of Mis-
souri,, we are glad that tn,
democratic party Is not made VI
exclusively OF this "Yaller Dog
material. The citizen who would
thus act is less deserving of tn,
rights OF franchise than the mos
ignorant negro whom the Standard
editor talks so much about, for In
one case the man Is knowingly
committing n wrong against his
home and country, while in tn,
other case the ignorant man may
have unintentionally done so. w,
are proud to say that the Repub-
lican party is not "yaller dog
party.

Democratic Committee rIeeting

At the meeting OF the County
Democratic Central Committee
held at the court house in this city
last Saturday afternoon, 1t was
decided to hold primary election
throughout the county on May 7,
for the election OF delegates to the
state and congressional conven-
tions and for the nomination OF
candidates for the several county
Offices to be filled at the next gen.
eral election. No call has yet been
issued for their judicial conven-
tion, and matters are becoming
rather warm among the several
county candidates over the ques-
ton of whether the nomination
shall be made by primaries or a
convention. The democratic plu-
rality In this judicial district two
years ago for supreme court judg,

been called into consultation with the
promoters of the road and conference

ALREADY about 75 per cent OF the
right of way between Columbus and

right of way runs from 60 to 100 feet

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes,August Flower still has the largest sale
any medicine in the civilized world Your
mothers and grandmothers never thought Of
using anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard OF Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration
or aeart Failure. etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation Of undigested food. regulate
the action OF the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action OF the system, and that is
all they took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You only need a
dose OF Green's August Flower, in liquid
form. TO make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can get this

On Saturday, October 8, the Repub.
licans will hold primary for the Sc
lection of municipal, township and
school officers.
Heretofore these primaries have been
held in March. but the abolishment of
Spring elections last winter and the
fixing Of them with the state and
county elections which are held in No
vember, made a postponement of the
primaries and now they will have to
be held this fall in time to have the
names certified in for the election
which comes on November s.
In this city there are three council
men to elect. besides an entire new
school board of ak members. In the
council the terms of John Foos, First
ward; Hossck Downs, Third ward
and John Rienhart, councilman-at-
large. all expire. Both Justices of the
Peace Dow and Huben will be candI-
dates for reelection. One constable,
one township trustee, one assessor for
each ward are to be selected at the
primary. 1t is time for citizens to be
thinking of the nomination of good
men. There promises to be a number
of candidates in the field.
