Lieutenant Governor Mckinley
is coming man in the Republican
party Of Missouri and he evident
" proposes to keep himself in line
for party regularity, since he op-
posed himself as a compromise
candidate in the senatorial fight.
Mckinley might inject himself in
this fight with a fai9 chance of cap
turing the prize, but his good
sense tells him TO hold himself
aloof. He is right in line for the
xubernatorial nomination three
years hence. aud his chances OF
election to that office are better
tnan that Of any other Republican
in the state.

The bill to prohibit baseball
games and kindred sports on the
Sabbath day in Missouri is meet
ing with opposition that will prob
ably prevent its passage by the
legislature. Such a law could not
ben enforced anyway because of
popular opinion against it. lnno-
cent amusement in the way of re-
creation sports on Sunday is not
detrimental to the morals of a COM
munity, and until the masses of
the people are given more leisure
for such pursuits Sunday will be
the peoples one holiday in the
week, regardless of whatever leg
islation may be enacted to prevent
them from making it so. The St.
Louis Post-Dispatch, commenting
upon the bill, says that to cut of
such outdoor sports would have

flourishes. Here we. have two

CLEAN UP.
Editor Democrat:

Editor Democrat:
With the coming of spring, isn't it
about time that the citizens of Lewis
town got together and did something
in the way of "town cleaning?" More
one particularly in regards to our
yards, streets and alleys. AS it is
now, old papers and all sorts of trash
are thrown broadcast to be blown
around by the wind and annoy those
of us who want to make the city
beautiful.
Tin cans, ashes and litter of all
sorts are thrown either into the alleys
Or adjacent lots to become an eye
sore and a menace to the public
health. This should be stopped and
it seems to the writer that some
means could be adopted by which lit
ter Of this sort could be kept in cans
and taken away at stated intervals.
Some enterprisining individual could
make good living by making a busi-
ness of it, call at each house at stated
iHlCl ' dlo dil, iAuuiii!B ~ away dl ~
much per month.
The city is "hard up as | under
stand it, has very little money to go
on, but the weeds and grass are grow
ing Tor very soon will be- in some of
our streets. Why can't each resident,
property owner and tenant alike, take.
say thirty minutes some day and clean
out the weeds that are growing in
front of his house? Surely that is
little enough to do, but if all do it, it
will work wonderful change for the
better in the appearance of some Of
our streets.
Then again, Gas suggestion,) don't
put all your energy and time in the
front yard, clean up the back yard as
well, have nice grass platt and some
flowers back as well as in the front.
Seeds cost but few cents, and surely
the bloom and fragrance to be had
more than repay one for the labor of
planting them. And what relief it
would be for the tired wife to look
out of the kitchen window and see a
nice piece of green lawn, with a
little flower bed or two.
Home will be a much pleasanter place,

The Long Eared bat.

The long cared bat puts itself to bed
In wraps not only of it's own wings,
but supplemented by the folding of it's
own enormous ears. This little British
mammal, the body of which is only
two inches long from the tip of the
nose to the base of the tail, has the
largest ears, in proportion to its size, of
any animal in the world. They are an
inch and half long and three-quar-
ters Of an inch broad, and when their
owner proposes to- go to sleep it bends
them outward and then backward,
folding them down on either side of its
head and shoulders before bringing up
the wings to cover it's sides. When
waking up it is quite Il business for the
little bat to get its tall ears straight
ened out and into position again. They
remain for some time at half cock"
md then are gradually set up and
erected to serve the animal while

The Expression "Great Scottw

Correspondents Of the London Acade-
my have been discussing the origin Of
the American expression Great Scott"
One thought it arose in some obscure
way from the name of General Winfield
Scott. Another writes: "Snrely the con

Scott, mentioned by your correspond
ent, is probably mere volks-
