/ Hon, WALTER WILLIAMS in the
Columbia MOI Herald referring to
the political outlook In Missouri, edi-
torially says; The Missouri of to-day
is not the Missouri Of yesterday. In
industrial conditions the state has
changed. In political thought it is
not the same. No proof or argument
is needed for convincing of this fact.
The simple statement is sufficient
The younger generation will be at
work on new highways The political
party is wise which recognizes these
conditions and deals with them. The
Democratic party in the new Missouri
must be alert TO the new Missouri
conditions. Otherwise IL cannot win
1874 HRsS dht" y6sd'fy not yesterday.
rhe record Of Republicans a genera
tlon ago is dead issue. The school
fund as political asset may be aban'
doned. Low taxation, made necessary
by the state constitution, does not
appeal to the voters as reason for
party support, There are live issues
in Missouri and the party that takes
the right side of these issues VIII
sweep the state. These issues concern
the development Of Missouri, the reg
ulation of public-service corporations
the enforcement OF law, the promotion
of internal improvements, the broad
ening and deepening of the school
system, the equalization of taxation
The old things are passed away 10
Missouri. Upon a platform which
looks to the future the democracy
must make its fighting. New issues
are here. Are new men needed &c
meet them? Certainly they will DC
unless the present day party Leaders
come out Of the graveyard and turr
their faces to the front

We believe the people of Audrain

automobile by our people who desire

who have automobiles will be careful
aud In every way endeavor to prevent
accidents.
| We all have different ideas, ant

fads, but we see no necessity for stir
