furiously against three successive

THE ISSUES.
Folk Replies to DOckery's
Attack on Himself.


ment from Joseph W. Folk on be-
ing shown Governor Dockery at
tack on himself:
Il am glad that Governor Dock
cry has at last decided to come ont
and fight in the open. That he has
been working with the Butler
Halves combination has been evil
dent to all who have been watch
ing the political conditions for the
last two months.
Despite his assertions of neu-
trality, the attitude of the appoint
ees of the State administration has
shown more plainly than words
could what the position of the
Governor was. As long ago as last
summer, in a speech at Lone Jack,
Governor Dockery defined his at
titude in the Doodle issue by apol-
ogizing for the corruption that had
been going on by saying that it
had not cost the people anything.
He might as we'll have winked
at a man whose daughter had been
assaulted and have told him not to
complain because none of his mo-
ney had been stolen.
THE political situation in Kan
sas City and st. Louis should
alarm every patriotic citizen. The
serfs of Russia have more political
freedom than the antimachine
Democrats of st. Louis and Kan
sas City.
The thuggery and brutality
with which the machine sought to
beat the anti-machine Democrats
into submission in st. Louis last
Saturday would not be tolerated in
the most despotic Government, of
earth. AS the police seemed to
have tolerated these outrages and
as the police are under control of
a board appointed by the Governor
the people of st. Louis have no
remedy by their ballots, except in
common with the people of the en-
tire State. They can only look to
the Governor to correct the things
that have dishonored and oppressed
them.
Unless he is held responsible
for the conduct of the police de-
partments in Kansas City and St.
Louis, there is no one responsible.
That is what l meant to say when
l said that the Governor must con-
fess responsibility or acknowledge
incompetency.
1t is not a question of how
many votes any individual receiv-
ed or did not receive but of free
people to exercise their franchise
without interference.
zone would naturally expect
that the Governor of the State
would deplore the brutality and
rufiianism that characterized the
st. Louis primaries Saturday
but he seems so bound to the in,
huence that carried on these out
RACES that he flies in the face Of
deeency, and personally indorses
all that took place.
II might have been well enough
for him to say that l should have
been defeated there because / die
not vote for Jim Butler, but that
certainly is no excuse for beating
and smuggling citizens who were
entitled to vote at that primary.
Inc riot ana disorder IN St.Louli
are disgrace enough without hav.
ing the humiliation Of the chief ex.
ecutive Of the State indirectly sane
tiOning it
The Governor seeks to justify
the operations of the st. Louis In
dams by saying that did not dc
any campaigning in 1902 for the
party. 1 saw Governor Dockery
twice ID that campaign. The first
time the question Of making
speeches was not discussed. Tn,

Important Bank Decision.

Among the decisions filed by the
State Supreme Court last week there
was one of decided general impor-
tance. It came up from Beaufort in
connection with the Bank OF Beaufort,
which wasf9owned by the late Mr..
Lockwood. The bank failed, and
then a contest for the deposits began.
81 @ Davis, county treasurer, had
s4,1S7 80 on deposit, and George
Gage, city clerk, had Sl,35l Il on
baud. These two officers claim that
the funds they had on hand in the
bank were public funds, and there
fore entitled to preference. The
Supreme Court holds that the funds
clearly belonged to the county and
city as indicated by the deposits, and
that they are entitled to preference
under the statute law of the State.
The opinion of the Court was pre-
pared by Associate Justice Gary.

e7ont WAS the celebration of Mrs.
Ha)lmsn's 81 Il birthday The entire
family being present on this occasion
not only added to the pleasure OF
mother. but to all who were present.
both brothers. sisters and friends.
It was indeed a pleasure to be
with this large family, and see the
kindness of the mother for the cnll-
dren and in turn the children TOR the
mother. May the love aud kindness
shown at this reunion add another
raw of sunlight on our lives to help
ns remove from our minds and hearts
the many dissppointments that we so
often meet with while passing through
life's dusty way. Another feature
that added to the pleasures OF the DAY
was the music, both string and in-
strumeptal, which was rendered IN a
very pleasant way by her sons' grand
sons aud many grsnddaughters. The
sweet chords of the music was nos
only pleasing to the ear, but caused
us :, think of him Who gives to ali
every good and perfect gift, how
thank sul We should be to him for his
kindness.

ters have recently launched out on
lifs's matrimonial sea, and have taken

tain to their future happiness. We
wish them success and bright and
prosperous future.
While it was indeed pleasure for
her to have her children, grandchii-
dren and great grand-child gather
around her it can be said that the
greatest pleasure to her was the
presence of her mother, Mrs. Smith.
Mrs. Smith is near, if not past the
mile post of fourscore years. Truly
she has kept the fourth command
ment.
Now all of Us icing filed with the
pleasures that satisfies the mind
