The state legislature has adjourn
ed; some of the old laws have been
repealed and many 3ew ones have
been added to the statutes, yet
how many citizens are familiar or
have any chance of becoming fa.
miliar with the changes effected! {!
The only general discrimination of
this information comes from the
voluHteer efforts of the newspapers
of the state, and that is not by any
means complete enough for sat
isfactory or definite knowledge Of
the new laws. 1t is said that ig-
norance of the statutes is no cx-
cuse under the Jaw; at the same
time the state troubles itself not to
lessen the chances of the individual
running counter to the statutes by
giving him regular and concise in
formation upon any changes IN the
laws. The session acts are not
printed and published for the ordi-
nary citizen and everyone cannot,
therefore, have copy of them in
his home; nor can he always first
consult lawyer every time he
makes a move for fear he might
break a new law. What is needed
in this respect is law requiring
the publication of the session acts
in one or more newspapers in each
county in the state, just as the law
now requires the publication of
the financial statements of the coun-
ty courts and the official election
ballot. We do not advocate this
course merely from self-interest.
Nine men in ten would never learn
of what had been done in the way
of changing the state laws but for
what they gain in this connection
from the newspapers. This is a
matter for the country newspapers
to take up and make genera! de-
maDd at the next session of
the legislature for law requir.
ing the publication of the session
acts in at least one paper in each
county.

A Tribute to the Country Editor

One of the finest tributes to the
country editor that has ever been
delivered was contained in recent
address by Senator Chauncey NJ.
Depew before the New York Asso-
citation. Mr.. Depew said: 81
pay my respects to and express
my admiration for the country
editor. His lines are not cast in
places Of the great and profitable
organs of the metropolis, whose
profits are reckoned often by the
hundreds of thousands of dollars
every year. But the country edi-
tor lives in and is part of his
community. His virtue is not so
much in what be prints as what he
refuses to print. He could easily
destroy the peace of the commun-
ity by admitting to his paper the
scandals and gossips of the neigh
bors. But he stands as a censor
and guardian of public morals,
and l know of no condition under
which the public is appealed to
in a certain measure where the ut
terance is so free from criticism as
the general tone of the country
press"

in the House of Representatives

In his state be has been given
every honor possible with a party
which was in the minority, having
been nominated for governor and
been given the support of his par

indeed, a happy outcome of fac
tional strife when so fortunate a
compromise can be made.-Balti-

A Boston church is inclined to re-
fuse gift of $1oO, 600 from John
D. Rockefeller on the grounds that
his money was moi made in a way
that conformed with the princi-
pies of christianity-that it was
"tainted," as some of the members
of the church committee argued.
Mr.. Rockefeller has evidently
sought to ease his conscience with
donations to colleges and churches,
and, it is said, has given awsy in
this manner more than thirty-two
millions Of dollars. A list of bis

almost invariably been bestowed

State Sepublicans Make Good.

In the session of the Missouri
legislature just closed the Republi-
cans had control of the house, and
changed conditions in the general
assembly so immensely for the bet
ter that full Republican legislative
control is powerfully suggested.
Much of the best work of the ses-
sion was the undoing of Demo
cratic crookedness, such as the re-
perl Of the alum law and the pool
sellers law, and the passage of a
home rule police law. As far as
the Democratic senate permitted,
the Republicans in the legislature
redeemed the pledge for home rule
that was a part of both party plat
forms last year. The Republican
house fulfilled the promise; the
Democratic senate violated it by
defeating the bipartisan election
law. For the first time in many
years the Doodle environment was
missing from the Legislature. The
lobbyists held aloof. The sort of
statesmen who ''sucks eggs and
hides the shells'' "a well-known
Missouri Democratic expression),
no longer dropped in over night
and held secret conference with
members IN behalf of some mono
poly. No state official called men,
bers into his private Office to ask
that they vote in accordance with
the interests of corporations that
had contributed literally to the
campaign fund. Republicanism
cleared the atmosphere at Jeffer-
son City at once and decisively.
No lobbyist was seated behind a
screen near the presiding officer OF
the senate to tell him how to rule
and to send orders to the Demo
cratic senator's on the floor. No
one caught sight Of the thousand
dollar bills passing from hand to
hand, with their sources hidden by
witnesses claiming the protection
of the constitution against self.

ly disappeared with bill in his
pocket SO as to prevent action up
on it. No constitutional amend
ments were proposed to cover up
the misappropriation of funds held
in trust. When Missouri went
Republican in November, 1904,
the Democratic legislative system,
in all its vile enormity, was swept
away. A new order of things ar
rived. State legislation was re-
stored to decency, honesty and
self-respecting intelligence.
There are reports that an extra
session will be called. With Gov.
Folk rests the authority to desig-
nate what subjects shall be consid-
cred. Let him not forget home
rule election law for St. Louis.
He advocated and promised home
rule for this city, and so did the
state platform which he wrote,
and on which he ran. The Repub-
lican house will further his efforts
as far as they comport with the
best interests of the state. He is
expected to play fair and keep his
promises. He was elected by Re-
publican votes, Il fact to be borne
in mind by those who speak in dis
paragement of the indefinite i'm
provement in Legislative work as
the result OF II change in party.
The Republican members of the
Legislature have the hearty thanks
of their party for their zeal aud
fidelity during the session, and
the tender of congratulations ought
to be made unanimous by all right
minded, public-spirited citizens

A Great Day For Jefferson.

There is 50 little of the Demo-
cratic party that it seems a shame
to divide it, yet there are disquiet-
ing reports of another cleavage at
the Jefferson Day dinners.
Mr.. Bryan, Senator Bailey Of
Texas, Representative DeArmond
of Missouri, Governor johnson of
Minnesota and Governor Folk of
Missouri nre said to have declined
invitations to speak at the dinner
of the Democratic club in New
York. Mr.. Bryan, Gov. johnson
and Gov. Folk will make speeches
at the Iroquois Clubs dinner in
Chicago. Senator Bailey COM
planned that New York is too far
from Texas. Mr.. Cleveland de-
clined the Democratic Clubs invi-
tation in order to engage in the
more fascinating pastime of shoot
ing ducks. Judge Parker recalled
his declination after Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Bryan had refused to at
tend and will probably be the prin'
cipal speaker.
As matters now stand the gen.
tleman who led the Democratic
party to Leipsic and a Waterloo
will speak at Chic ago, the gentle.
man who led the Democratic party
to a Sedan will speak in New York,
| while the gentleman who led the
Democratic party to the only vic
tories it has won and held in near.

There is an uncertainty as to
when the portable watch, az we
understand it to-day, came into
use. 1t was probably at the close
of the sixteenth century. Queen
Elizabeth owned a large number
of watches. Mary Queen of Scots
was the possessor of a skull shap-
ed watch. In fact, the "death's
head" pattern was at time much
vogue, Endless were the styles,
for there were watches shaped like
books, pears. butterflies, and tu-
lips. The Numsrberg egg was a
special shape and was first made
in 1900.
Those queer shapes of watches
prevented their finding a place in
the pocket. When was the fob
first used in the dress of mani
The German fob is ''fuppe" and it
is believed that it came from Eng
land. This conjecture is strength
ened by the fact that a short fob
chain attached to a watch of Oil
YER Cromwell's in the British mus
cum is, in point of date, the first
appendage of the kind knows. The
watch is small oval one in sill
YER case and was made about 1925.
