Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1905-08-24
THURSDAY, AUG. "a, 1905

Before the nomination Of the
Democratic ticket last year
many of the partisan Folk pa
pers, Democratic and Republi-
can, of the State used much
space in condeuuiuG the acts of
Gov. Dock cry and other state
officials. This was not only
their privilege, but their duty
had those officials bean dishou-
est or corrupt. With one eX-
ception, however, such was not
the case. Missouri or any 9th.
er State, never had a more
capable, more honest or better
officers than did Missouri under
the Dockery administration. A
change has come over the scene.
With only one exception, no
more are the state Off :es
which were filled at the last
election presided over by
Democrats. The unjust criti.
cism of papers and speakers
posing as Democrats is re
sponsible for the change. Our
Republican friends are in con
troll and Notwithstanding their
repeated charges OF .mocrat
ic dishonesty aud footing of the
treasury, have not yet brought
to light single dishonest act
Now, if any Democratic papel
even mentions an act of Gov
Folk in such a manner that i
may be construed into criti
cism these Folk partisaus holC
up their hands in horror and t
judge from their words yo
would suppose that an unpal
donable ;crime had been con
mi ted by the person or new.

him for the nomination tn

and he is once more a private

be able to point with US much
pride to his record as to that
long line of Democratic Gov
errors who have preceded him.
Next year a legislature is to be

hope that it will be a Democrat
legislature, but it will not be if

gether and the quicker it is
done the more solid trout we
will be able to put to the enemy
next year. Let US have a har-
mony meeting and then let all
Democrats meet as true loyal
Democrats not as Folk Demo,
Gratis, not as Reed Democr ats,
not as Halves Democrats, but
just Democrats. We cannot
afford to continue this wraug-
ling longer. AS to the method
of selecting delegates that is a
small matter except be sure to
select good, true and tried
Democrats who put principles

The Democrats of the Second
Missouri Congressional district
are so well pleased with their
present Congressman that it
will be useless for any one to try
to defeat Judge Rucker next
year. He has been tried and
has proven that he is the man
fer the place. He is safe, able.
fearless. honest. No harder
working man can be found, al
ways looking after the interests
of his constituents in particular
and the entire country in gener-
al. In him the masses have d
friend who can always be relied
upon to do all in the power of
any man.

st. Joseph increased 100 per
cent in population, and in bust,
ness in ten years. Much of the
credit for this is given TO the
live, working Commercial Club.
Monroe City should make a
note of this and remember that
now is the time. Have you any
suggestionI There are many
enterprises which would bring
good citizens and much money
to our city and if we had live
Commercial Club we could sc.
cure them.

Thomas Salisbury, rural route carrier,
route two, came near meeting his death
Monday. While making his route, he
was overcome with severe hemorrhage
of the lungs, and became so weak from
loss of blood that he was unable longer
to manage his team; and had the horses
not overtaken Will Young, who was on
his way to town, Mr.. Salisbury might
have succumbed to the attack. Meet
ing Ed Young, Mr.. Salisbury was given
over to his care, and taken to the home of
John Stolberg, where solution of salt
and water was given him, bringing him
relief. Mr.. Salisbury is still very weak,
but is apparently speedily recovering
from what might have been fatal at
tack.-Lamoni Chronicle.

cut the index finger on his right hand

Young Dentists business stroke.

A young man with ingenuity enough
to warrant success recently identified
himself with Milwaukee church that
boasts of having one of the largest
congregations in the city. He made
himself generally useful, offering to
sing in the choir, teach Sunday school,
act as usher or do anything that would
help the good cause along. He was
finally asked to serve in the capacity
of usher, which he did with great ALAG
rity. AS he passed the collection box
the minister noticed that he handed
each person a slip of white paper. At
first the minister supposed they were
the envelopes in which the money for
specified purposes is usually inclesed,
but after few Sundays of assiduous
work on the part Of the usher the min
lister decided to investigate. He dis
covered that the young man was a
struggling young dentist and was
handing out his business cards.

dent as thousands OF other citizens
greeted him during his visit to the coal
regions. There was not second dur
ing their meeting at which there were
not several other persons present and
in hearing distance.
1t is now declared that Mayor Wea-
9er's visit tc the coal regions was de-
liberately planned for political pur-
poses by the Gordon outfit, and that
the speech which he delivered to tho
delegates to the convention Of the Cath
olic Total Abstinence Beneficial Union
was carefully prepared with view to
advancing the interests of the men back
of the indie endent campaign in this

It has bes l boldly charged and no
denied that Gprdon wrote the speec
which Weaver made. 1t was bril-
liant literary effort. Weaver is not a
good scholar, as texts of his annual
reports to councils lave shown. No
one who knows him can believe he
wrote that Wilkes Barre speech.

Rabua Gap Extension to Be Built,

While Knoxville has been waiting
TOR definite news regarding the Frisco,
the Southern railway has been prepar-
ing to surprise the people here and
give them something tangible in the
way OF railroad building.
1t may be authOritatively stated that
work will begin on the Rabun Gan
extension of the Southern Railway in
n few days.
Indeed. the men to do the work have
already been gathered by the contrac-
tor, w. j. Oliver, and are on their
way to the scene Of operations.
Mr: Oliver has just returned from
washington, where he was awarded
the contract, and the final details were
arranged, and he was instructed to go
ahead with the work, but when seen he
refused to make o statement. The
above facts, however, were learned
from an official of the Southern Rail-
way and are accurate.
The meaning of this piece of news
for hnoXvllle and vicinity is that the
torty-slx miles of railway between
,Ma!TTyVll!e and Bushnell, N. c., will be
bu!ls at once by local contractors.
Over half million dollars will be-
spent on the road. The Southern
Railway will have short line to the
southeast coast, with grades reduced
to minimum. This will enable chip
pers of coal and other mineral pro-
ducts as we'll as manufacturers to
market their products at a much less
cost than at present. 1t will better
the passenger service materially.
The dream of John G.. Calhoun, who
sought the linking of the southeast and
the middle west, will be realized.
This is the very railroad route over
which the railroad he projected was
to run.
From Bushnell, N. c., this railroad
will be farther extended to strike the
main branch of the Southern ut An
derson, s: c., and will there reach
branches Ter Charleston, Savannah and
other southeastern points.
This is the best news that Knoxville
hae had since the announcement that
the Louisville g. Nashville was coming
here.-knoxville, (Tenn.). Sentinel,
