publlcans confldentially assert, and
prominent democrats Of that state who
are in Washington tacltiy admit. that
the days Of practically solid demo-
cratic congress delegation are over
and that a fair and equitable redis-
tricting bill, when passed by the next
legislature. will receive the approval
OF Governor Folk. That such a bill
win be introduced IN the Missouri leg
islature next winter is assured. for
the reason that the present congress

notoriously OF shoestring and zigzag
order that reputable democrats as well
as republicans, condemn them in
that the normal congress delegation OF
fifteen democrats 10 one republican
signalIy fails to represent the political
sentiment OF the state. The districts
have been so gerrymandered under
democratic misrule that only the tre-
mendous upheaval caused by the
Roosevelt landslide made II possible
for any part OF the state TO send TO
congress a man who represented the
views Of the conservative interests of
that section.
The voters OF Missouri have become
exceedingly weary OF enforced subser-
vlence to the win and manipulations
OF the democratic machine, which
Governor Folk himself smashed
when he attacked its leaders for off,

behind the bars. To be made the

win be In position TO vote its choice
with a reasonable chance or repre-
.sentation In accordance with Its will.

WANTS PAY FOR cuTIcLE.
Father Sues Northern Pacific for Price
Of Skin Grated on Son.

Seattle, Nov. 30.-For the skin that
was taken from his body and grated
upon the right leg OF his 4-year-old
boy, who lost that limb through being
run over by Northern Pacific train,
George A. Eslxildson Is asking Judge
Griffin to await him $1,000. The sons
leg was crushed and later amputated
a few inches below the knee. To make
the stump heal the father agreed to
have skin taken from his own body
and made a part of the lad. While
the grating process was taking place
the father was compelled to lie In the
hospital beside the boy. For this in
convenience and suffering the father
seeks TO recover from the railroad
company.
Edwin Eskildson. the son who lost
his leg. has already succeeded in OBJ
tainlng s11o0 from the city Of Seattle.
The boy was walking across Railroad
avenue in front OF the Union station,
when his foot fell into, a hole two and
a half inches wide and about six feet
deep inside the track, The boy and
his parents tried to pull the leg out,
but II was too tightly wedged. The
hole into which the leg was pinioned
was directly in the rear of a train of
cars that were unattached to an en-
gine. While the parents were at
tempting to pull the lads leg out an
engine was attached to the cars and
they were backed over the boys Leg
The leg was lying across the track and
the boy had the rest of his body out
side of the track The wheels crushed
the leg so badly that It had to be am
putated.
In the present suit the father asks
also for compensation for the nursing
that he has had to give the lad, who is
now nervous wreck.
