President Roosevelt has written a

more than a year ago to get an eX

subjects, which were campaign issues
in Massachusetts at the time. The
other two members of the committee

sentiments expressed by the presidenr
in the interview. While no onC

A Famous Editor Dead.

Doctor Emil Preetorius, editor Of
The Westliche Post, and one of the
foremost German newspaper men OF
the United States, died Sunday IN St.
Louis aged Is years.
Doctor PreetCrius was born IN
Germany, 10 1927. HIS early education
was obtained at Maryeuce and
Darmstadt. His parents selected a;
his vocation the practice of law, and.
with this IN view, he took degrees both
at Glssen and tie University al
Heidelberg.
With his youthful enthusiasm Mr.
Preetorius esSayed a part in the revolu.
tionsry measures in l84s.49 to the
extent that he was compelled to with,
draw from his native land.
The year 1853 saw the young mar
on Ameri"'r soil, seeking a hume IN
TIE land OF liberty. For several years
he was en- ged In commercial pursuits,
bat, in 1860, he espoused the cause o.
Lincoln aud the Republican party.
He entered the field of politics and
took the rostTuld.
In 1862 he was elected to the
Missouri Legislature as an emancipa
ZIONIST. AT that time his party was in
control, and Doctor Preetorius bad a
strong influence in its councils
Although an earnest advocate for
freedom OF the slaves, particularly as
a wal measure, as we'll as from his
convictions relative to the "Rghts of
Man" he resented the idea of negro
equality IN the social sphere.
He likewise opposed the p~roscriptive
course Of many of the Republican
leaders in regard to the d~isfranchise-
ment Of political opponents not actually
engaged IN rebellion, or on the ground
OF supposed sympathy with the
Confederacy. This opposition was
especially emphatic after the Civil
War was ended and when the radicals.
under the leadership Of Senator Drake,
sought to perpetuate the reign of
intolerance through inquisitorial oaths
and the like, excluding a large part of
the citizenship of the States from
voting.
Doctor Preetorius took charge of
the editorial columns of the Westliche
Post, one of the most influential of
Republican German newspapers in the
West, early in 1864 soon afterwards
associatlng himself with Carl Schurz.
1t was this paper which organized the
revolt against the radical party OF Mis-
sour and created the Republican
party, which elected B. Gratz Brown
for Governor of the State, aud which
sought in 1872, to n~ationalize the
movement. The latter part of the
programme was unsuccessful il so far
that it failed to carry the presidential
election, but it checked the tide OF
radiealism, and turned the Republican
party back to a more conservative and
moderate course.

Insurance Commissioner W. D..
VandiYer in an address before the
Dairymen's Convention 10 Jefferson
City the other day suggested that the
state should spend z million dollars a
year in improving country roads.
The suggestion was we'll received by
the dairymen. Mr.. Vandiver said
that there were as strong reasons to
be advanced for a good roads fund as
for a school fund. This Is undoubt-
edly an reinstatement VI the case,
and yet a certain amount Of state aid
available to counties which are will
ing to supplement the money thus
received and grant the whole to com.
munities or townships which might
be willing further to augment the
sum by special tax or private sub
scription might serve a good purpose
in getting the good roads movement
fairly under way. There is no better
reason for building roads out Of the
general funds Of a state treasury as a
permanent policy than for paving the
streets Of cities in the same way. 1t
ls impossible to deny the essentially
local character Of the problem Of
good roads.

How Live Stock is Sold in Great Britain

How Live Stock is Sold in Great Britain.
To the English farmer the market
ing Of live stock and dairy products is
more important than the marketing OF
grain. Barely one-seveDth Of the sup.
ply of wheat consumed by the nation
is grown in this island, while more
than one half of the meat eaten at
home is home.bred. There are two
methods commonly used in disposlug
of live stock. The first IS by direct
sale, the second by auction. When
the first method is used, the custom is
for the seller TO seek his purchasers BY
advertising widely in the agricultural
aud other newspapers. The most
common method of selling live stock,
however, is by auction, and these
auctions take place most commonly al
the markets. Nearly every large towr
has It's market, some ore than one
while many quite insignificant Villages
have their sale yards, and other placer
are known entirely by the great fair

The weather during the past week
was unusually warm, and highly Ia
vorable for the rapid growth of all
irrigated crops. Excessive sunshine
prevailed throughout the week, and
several of the afternoons were a little
too windy for hauling and stacking
hay. Some damage by grasshoppers
is reported from Nye county, and by
worms in Lyon county. Haying is
now quite general over the State, the
yield being fairly good. The grain
crops promise well, especially in To-
calities where water has been plenti-
full for irrigation Oats, barley and
rye are ripening in places, and pota-
toes and garden truck are doing well
generally in most sections. Fruit
prospects continue fairly good. Grass
es are quite good and livestock is in
fine condition. Streams are running
low, and water for irrigation is failing
rapidly. J. H. SMITH,
