wELBORN HONORED.

Mr.. Welborn has the distinction Of
breaking into high official life in the
first successful assault made by his
party upon the ranks of the
rural democracy Of Missouri. He has
long been a hard party worker and
doubtless deserves as much as any
mar 10 his district the support of the
party he has served. Mr.. Welborn is
a republican, and Of course the
INrELLIeENcER regrets his election
and trusts that he will be defeated
by a democrat next time. But this
does not prevent congratulations upon
a victory which he has worked for
and earned at the hands Of his party.

In st. Louis the results are similar
to those in Kansas City except that
Parker ran a trifie ahead Of an
average Of the democratic state ticket
and Roosevelt a trife below an
average Of the republican state ticket.
Walbridge ran about 5000 behind an
average Of the republican state ticket
and Folk about 1000 ahead Of the
average Of the democratic state
ticket. The sum OF the Parker and
Roosevelt votes in St. Louis is about
1900 less than the sum Of Folks and
Walbridge's or the sum Of Rubey's
and McKinley's, or any other pair on
the state ticket; which shows that
there was some scratching Of Parker
or Roosevelt or some trading between
Roosevelt and Folk with accompany
ing scratching Of Folk. This could
not have been large, because the ols'
parity in the totals Of the rival eau
didates taken by pairs is in the great
est instance only 1SOO-the case
of Parker and Roosevelt. In St,
Louis Cook ran about 275O votes
IrAhind his ticket and his opponent
ran about 1850 votes ahead Of his,
The reasonable superstition in both
cases is that republicans scratched
Walbrldge's name and inserted Folks
and that democrats scratched Cooks
name and inserted Swanger's.

he must see Folks excessive plurality
is due to republican votes, and that
the low vote OF the rest OF the ticket
Is due to the stay-at-home democratic
vote. In this county, for instance,

total vote for president was 7ll2, OF
which 1851 we're democratic aud 1851
republican. This shows a falling of,
for the democrats, of 739 from the
average of the two preceding general
elections. 1t also shows a gain for
the republicans Of 1873 II the growth
of population in the county is taken
into account it will be seen that the
total vote this year ought to have
been about $500.

IneSe ngureS are representative
and sufficient for general deductions.
By taking the totals it will be seen
that the average vote polled 10 Jack
son county was about 46, 800. The
total vote for president was less than
for any other Office aud that for gov
ernor was less than several others,
though a little above the average.
Roosevelt ran about 900 votes ahead
OF the republican state ticket, except
Walbridge; Parker ran about 1900
votes behind the democratic state
ticket, except Folk. Folk ran about
6,400 votes ahead Of the average Of
the state democratic ticket; Wal.
bridge ran about 6,4OO votes behind
the average of the state republican
ticket
The Kansas City Journal laments
that the republicans in Kansas City
and st. Louis thinking that it was
impossible to beat Folk, traded Folk
votes for Roosevelt votes. II such
was done to any considerable extent,
II there were more than 900 such
trades in Jackson county, then Roose-
velc, without such trading would
have run behind the state republican
ticket. This might explain how IL was
that parker ran 1900 behind his
ticket, but it would leave another
problem 10 the case Of Folk and
Walbridge, q Of whom ran as much
ahead Of his ticket as the other ran
behind his. 1t would necessitate
either the superstition that some
democrats scratched Folk or that the
populist, labor, socialist OF prohibit
tion parties made up the loss to
Walbridge.
In Lafayette county farker ran
twenty-five or thirty votes behind the
average Of the state ticket. Roose-
velt's vote was the same as an
average Of the republican state ticket.
Folks vote was about the same as an
average OF the democratic state ticket,
But Walbridge's vote was about
ninety below an average Of the re-
publican state ticket. There appears
to have been no trading in national
and state politics IN this county and
probably the same observation will
hold good Of the country districts
everywhere in Missouri. The vote in
this county for the same offices as
quoted Of Kansas City is as follows;

Wentworth to Play Monday.


Thursday Wentworth had its last
really bard practice before the cham.
pionship game with Kemper at Mar
shall next Monday. IL is true that
the team appeared On the practice
field Friday aud Saturday, but the
coaches have decided to do away
with hard scrimmage work for the
remainder Of the week in order to be
sure Of entering the game Monday
without any cripples on the team.
At present the team is In COCO phYsi-
cal condition and very few Of the
men have any injuries Of aAy conse-
qnence.
The practice Thursday was hard
and fast and particularly gratifying
to the coaches. Seldom has the team
shown greater speed on the offensive.
The men in the line charged well
and the backs hit the line aud ran the
ends in true varsity style. Went
worth is exceedingly strong 10 end
runs this season, and 1t will be
strange If Kemper's ends are not
skirted for long gains in the coming
game.
The backs, Emery, Bolinger, Van
Ginkel and Doty, are a strong com-
binaJion in advancing the ball They
assist each other we'll and hang te-
naciously to their interference on end
runs.
In the defensive W. NJ. A. is not as
strong as In the offensive. although
the men in the line OF scrimmage
seem to charge hard and low they
often mlsjudge the play entirely and
thus permit a gain to be made on
them, The three center men, Little,
Ladd and Pollock play a good steady
game and are a bulwark lie defense
at times showing remarkable ability
in tearing up the opposing line. The
tackles, Capt. Bunting and Gordon,
are playing a hard game, but still are
uncertain in judging when a play
is going thus allowing gains to
be made. Craig, Johnson, Turner
and Taylor, the ends, are playing 10
a much improved form on the defen-
sive and are developing some ability
in carrying the ball, Graybill the
regular quarter, is an adept in hand
ling the ball, but is still off form 10
defensive work.
Taken as a whole W M. A. has a
remarkably good team for a school Of
its class. The men realize the i'm.
portance Of the coming game as
evidenced by the increased spirit not
only in the team but throughout the
entire student body.
The team, attended by the cadet
band, the entire corps OF cadets, and
many people from Lexington will
leave the Missouri Pacific depot on a
special train Monday morning at $3.50
O'Clock. The train will leave Marshall
on its return trip to Lexington at
7 p. m.

Seen ia Europe.

E. W. stephens in Columbia Herald
In pubiic higbways Europe IS II
advance Of the United States. A dir
or even a gravel road IS almost M
known. All are Of macsdam or stone
aud from eighteen inches to two or
three feet in thickness. In many
places they are eubowertd by trees
aud are very beautiful. They are
kept clean and and are as smooth as
floors. There sre no tOll.gales. The
roads are KEEP. up BY the government
at q cost of about $3.50 per mile
annually. But automobiles practically
m~onopolize them and have nearly run
all other modes Of conveyauces of of
them.
Almost everybody in Europe lives
in the towns. There are but few
farm houses. and outside the great
estates of the nobility there are few
residents Of the country. Tue people
live IN the cities, towns or villages and
from thence go out into the country
and operate their farms. Many of
these villages have a deserted look in
the day time, hut warm with life at
night. It s strange to see the rural
districts of countries two thousand
years old practically u%ninhablted.
The older a people the greater their
desire to gather 10 communities and
the less practicable is a scattered
population.
Europe IS for the most part a garden
truck country. There are no large
farms as in America, unless there be
the exception of big oat or barley or
wheat fields in some of the estates OF
the nobility IN England. Indian corn
is not grown in Great Britain or
Northern Europe and IN a very limited
way ID Italy, France or Sprin. The
chief products are potatoes, cabbage,
turnips, hay, oats, barley and wheat
and farms are very small, in many
places mere garden patches. In Italy
and Switzerland aud much Of Germany
and France grapes are the chief,
almost the only product.
There IS not much fruit Of any kind
in England, but a great deal upon the
continent, l do not recall having
seen an apple or a peach orchard in
Great Britain, and but few in Germany,
but the peaches and apples and grapes
or Italy are excellent, unsurpassed in
the world. Vineyards literally cover
the bluffs along the Rhine, and all
European streams and Italy and
Switzerland are almost a continuous
vineyard. In Italy the grape vines
are run upon trees which are planted
at convenient distances for that
purpose.
One Of the merits OF Europe,
especially of Great Britain and northern
Europe, is its exemption from flies
aud mosquitoes. Possibly they may
BE- there, bit they did not exhibit them,
selves during the past summer. The
only flies we saw were at Pompeii in
Southern Italy and the only mosquitoes
we're at Venice. The absence of flies
IS attributed to he great cleanliness in
the cities and the houses. The streets,
stables and car Premises are kept
clean at all times. There IS also buI
little # any malaria in northern Europe
and only In southern Europe in The
rainy season.
