This is the aggressive declar-

upon his arrival in this city
when he was told that his
speech at Lincoln Monday night
had been accepted as an indica
ton that there will be a fight
in the coming national conven-
tion at st. Louis.
At the mention of a fight over
his platform he drew h mself uI
to his full height and said:

Why Republicans Are for Folk

Harry Denman, editor of the
FdrmIugton News, the Repub-
licau- organ of Southeast Mis-
souri,, read a paper last week
before the State Republican
Editorial convention at st.
Joseph, in the course of which
he said:
Republicans generally be-
lieve that were Folk elected
- it wou d result in placing
Missouri where she rightfnlly
belongs-in the column of safe
Iy Republican states"
The Folk plea for special
jules is simply added evidence
that he is no Democrat. The
special jury is undemocratic
and we havetno doubt is uncon
stitutiCnal. Honesty belongs
TO no special class OF men A
day labtrer is just as honest
and oGtlimes as well or better
infoImva than the man who
makes Il living by cooking his
feet on top of his desk when in
his Office and wears kid gloves
on the street. Mr.. Folks claim
that il is necessary TO have
men Of more than ordinary in
telligsnce" and that to secure
them he is compelled to go into
the offices and ignore the arti
san, mechanic and laborer is an
insult 10 some Of the most hon
Orabie and worthy men the

for governor he will find be

The Editors Burden.-Here
is a heart to heart talk which a
country editor, who evidently
has troubles of his own recently
gave to his delinquent subscri-
bers: Good morning. Have
you paid subscription this year?
Perhaps you owe for last year,
or several years. Now, you
understand, we don't need mon
ey; we have millions-to get.
But it is really an imposition to
let people go on carrying our
money when we are strong and
healthy and so abundantly able
to bear the burden ourselves.
For this reason we ask anybody
who has any of our money in
his possession to leave it at the
Office, or send it by post, freight
train. or express; or any other
way, just so it gets here. Sill
yer and gold are heavy and it
would be a matter of lifelong
regret If anybody should get
bow-legged carrying it about
for us.-San Francisco Argo-

rather than for a few months, has much
to do with the encOura cement OF the re-
lay idea. Next fall there will be foot
ball teams. representing the different
churches on the gridiron, so the track
work will keep the athletes in condition
for the fall contests. AS the regular sea-
son of the league ends August 10. the
bail players viii have sufficient time In
which TO get into condition for the relay
races. President Provost Is heartily In

unwonted interest in the coming meet.
and not only will there be relay teams,
but nearly every club will hive repre-
sentatives in the Individual races. The
Turner Athletics Gonzaga, and St.

oided to go in for the prizes to be offered
for a Capital City relay race.
The Olympia Athletic Club Will have
a relay four on the field, but what team
will be matched with the red and blue

A team will be organized among the
Central High School runners who are
entered In the meet. and IL Will be
classed with some other scnooi team Of
this city or Baltimore.
The list Of officials Of the meet Is be-
ing made up, but Will not be announced
