1t is reported that two robbers
entered the fiat OF Mary Ellen Lease,
In New York, and while one Of them
held a pistol to her head and forced
her to remain silent and give up
diamond pin worn at her throat, the
other searched the rooms and secur
ed about $500 in money, iewelry and
plates. My, but how the mighty
have fallen. A few years back hun
dred men would not have dared to
cross Mary Ellen and now only two
bold, bad men invade her private
boudoir and lay violent hands upon
her and her property, without SO
much as a protest from this former
terror. We can not credit this story.
We are more inclined to the belief
that it is an advertising dodge pre-
liminsry to another campaign by this
dear old girl. If it is, excuse US, we
are bound for the tall timber.

Counties May Tax Autos.

Among the opinions handed down
by the st. Louis court OF appeals
one written by Presiding Judge
Bland which holds that q person
who operates an automobile must
procure a license In every county in
which he travels. A license taken
out in the city or county, the opinion
states, is local, and does not extend
beyond the authority Of the officer or
court issuing it. No general license
is provided for by law, and cannot
be issued without new legislation.
The decision afflrms ione rendered
by Circuit Judge Ely Of Rails county,
aning r. W. Cobb OF Hannibal,
Marion county 800 for running an
automobile on the streets Of New
London, and the public roads Of
Rails county under q license issued
in Marion county, Cobb was indicted
by the grand jury Of Marion county,
and appealed from the fine imposed
by the circuit court. The opinion
was concurred In by Judges Nortoni
and Goode.

THE TINES use OF the words "tom-
toms" has been such a source OF
amusement to the Democrat and an
excuse for that paper to divert at
tention from the discussion OF party
organization, that we are inclined to
humor Its whims and again call at
tention to facts, known OF all old and
experienced politicians, thatprejudice
and sectional feelings were dominant
factors in politics for many years fol-
lowing the civil war, and that, figu'
ratively, both parties "beat upon
tem-sems- and waxed-the blood y
shirt In marshaling their hosts to
battle. The editor OF the Democrat
may have been, and probably was,
too young in politics to have known
Of this, but it is 80 we'll known OF all
others that he but makes himself
ridiculous in his antics over the use
Of the terms. WeNGontend that It is
healthy condition when argu.
ments for principles instead OF pre-
JUDGES prevail.

WIx GETS A RULING.
Senator Warner Announces De-
partment's Policy on Third
Termers.

Ksnsss City Journal, and.
Senator Warner had another busy
day yesterday. When not up to his
chin in letters and kilograms he was
closeted with Republicans who came
to consult with him regarding feder-
al appointments, One OF these, a
Mr.. Wix OF Butler, received decision
to which country postmasters all
over the state will attach utmost
Importance. Mr.. Wix has no Of
fee, but would like one. He did yeo-
mans service for the party, and he
thought that, perhaps, he might as.
pire to one OF the good Offices in his
county now held by men who have
had the place two terms.
THAT brings up this report that
the administration is adverse to
giving a man a third term" said
Senator Warner. II may as well
confirm the report that there is little
to this, that where a man has held
an Office two terms and has made an
exceptionally fine record, the policy
will be not to disturb him, but to let
the public have the benefit OF his ex-
perience. Two terms and an excep.
tionsl record, the senator repeated,
with emphasis on the exceptional
record"
