Well, the farmers are beginning

there is plenty of time yet to plow

Republican Bluff Exploded.

For q long time the republican
party in this state has been talking
very big about general primary
law. What the republican party
would do in this direction if it ever
got into power has been the burden
of tremendous song in campaign
itime.
Thinking people have been in
times past at loss to understand
why the republican politicians
should clamor for Il law which would
take their party ont of the hands of
the postmasters and pie bosses and
put il into the hands of the people;
but everybody understands now that
the republican boosting of the pri-
mary e-s, thing but bluff and
the cheapest kind Of bluff.
The bluff exploded with a loud
bang Saturday when the house de-
feated the primary measure intro
duced by o democrat, Conkhng of
Carroll 1t was fiat rejection of
the opportunity they had begged for
and beloved about foryears. Mr..
Conkiing deserves the thanks ofthc
state for presenting a, square test of
their sincerity and taking the false
cry out OF their mouths.

whip than now.-St Louis Republic.

From the State Capitol.

(BY OUR REGULAR CORREsPONDEST.T
At 3 O'Clock in the afternoon of
Saturday, March Is, the gavels fell
and tho doings Of the forty-third
xeneral assembly became matter of
history: Compared with the actions
of past SESSIONS, this one, it may be
said, has. been q session of prece-
dents, and as to whether it has been
rs good or better than past sessions,
actual results must be awaited.
With the advent Of the "fnysteri-
GUS stranger" into the Missouri
legislature came the new idea Of
Investigations. Half dozen investi-
eating committees were in session
most of the time, at a cost of near a
hundred thousand dollars to the tax
payers, and whether or not onyone
has been or Will be benefited, time
will probably :tell. 1t is evident
however, that the good results have
not yet made their appearance as no
guilty parties have been convicted
or even indicted.
The senatorial deadlock, too, is
something new in Missouri, at least
in the present generation. But many
of the old timers will recall about
80 years back-when the republi
cans were last in power-of iust
such condition that"rresented itsel
to them this time; they could not
at that time, agree on senatorial
timber and it was only after 81
boilots had been taken that they

Washington since, till the present
one. These two are the only sena-
tOrial deadlocks Missouri has ever
known-the first when the republi-
cans We're last in power and the last
the first opportunity they have had
for thirty years; and these facts fur
nish food for thought.
In the house some seven hundred
bills were introduced, in the senate
three hundred and seventy-two,
eleven hundred in all. Ofthese about
one hundred and twenty have passed
both houses, Of which nearly half
have been signed by the governor
and will become laws. The balance
he will probably either sign or veto
in q short time.
Sorc efthc hills that have become
laws. are:
To make race track gambling q
felony.
Prohibiting the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors to minors, even with the
consent of the parent.
Requiring railroads to construct
crossings as provided in the law.
Repeating the special.jury law.
Providing for the construction of
dams for power mill, electric power
and light works.
Creatinga q new normal school dis
trlct in Northwest Missouri and one
in Southwest Missouri.
Providing for the appointment Of
board of law examiners by the
Supreme court to examine appll-
cants for admission to the bar.
On most questions that came up
for consideration, in neither house
were there any political tendencies
shown; but when q strenuous politi.
cal measure was up the democrats
for the first time in years, had no
"Fifipinos" or batters. They stood
to q man, except occasionally in the
senate, for the democ cratic platform.
With the republicans things were
different. They had about q dozen
men that, unless they were humored,
were liable to stray off most any
time, and with the aid OF these the
democrats in the house could oc-
casionally have things their own
way for while. In the senate the
opposite was sometimes the case,
There were enough recalcitrant
senator's in the democratic ranks to
hold the balance ofpower, and these,
being unfriehdly to the governor,
would, at times when some of his
pet measurers were up, vote with the
republicans and defeat them. But,
taken as whole the democrats IN
the forty-third assembly. when COM
pared with the republicans who were
fighting each other all the time, ac-
quilted themselves very well.
The senatorial deadlock has cost
the taxpayers many thousand dol
lars, by reason ofdelaying the work
of the assembly. At least one ballot
was required by law to be taken
every day, and some days several
were taken. A great mdny of the
afternoons and evenings were taken
up by republican causes, when the
several committees could have been
attending to the rtffairs they were
sent to the legislature for. These,
of course, delayed work, and as the

o.

The judicial execution of a criminal
condemned to death will take place, in
all probability, at the state penitenti-
airy some time between midnight to-
night and sunrise tomorrow. 1t will
be the first execution conducted under
the law passed nearly three years ago
requiring all executions to take place
at the state penitentiary. The object
of that law was, primarily, to remove
the executions of criminals from public
observation and to aviod the notoriety
and publicity too frequently following
upon executions held in the Jail yard
of county. While done judicially
and with the authority of the law, the
execution of human being is a
melancholy and depressing affair.
Particularly is this true where scat
folds are erected in towns, in plain
view of men, women and children. The
consequent discussion and comment is
neither healthful nor desirable. Neither
is it always possible to avoid the
presence of individuals and crowds,
feeding the qualification of morbid
curiosity, if not in the enclosure, at
least in close proximity to the place of
execution. 1t is also matter of fact
that criminals feed sometimes upon
the conspicuity and notoriety they OBJ
tain when confined in a. local Jail.
These are all features of executions
that it is the aim of the present law to
dispense with and it appears to have
been well done in this instance.

THE LOST ARTS.

Many Abandoned Because New
knowledge Makes Them Useless.
Not as much as we used to, but oc-
casionaiiy even yet, one hears of some
wonder accomplished by the ancients
which cannot be done now.
Not SO many years ago it was quite
commonly asserted that modern work
men could not quarry or, having quar-
ried, could not handle stones as large
as the monoliths of Egypt, and the
writer has heard a public speaker of
note assert that it would be impossible
to handle with modern implements
such large stones as were used in the
pyramids or to join them as perfectly
rs they are Joined there. Yet, when oc-
easion arose, larger stones than any of
the larger monoliths themselves were
transported not only to the sea, but
across it, and erected in England,
France and America, and there are in
dividuals today who might, IL they
chose, cause the transportation to and
erection in this country of the largest
pyramids or build new ones ten times
larger and more durable. Pyramids
are not being generally built nowadays
because they are not in line with the
trend OF modern ambition; that's all. =
It is very doubtful If Damascus
