Memorial.

| Little Edward Caldwell, son OF
Morris and Marada Caldwell, OF
Burlington, No, went to his home in
the skies March 2S, 1905.
He had never been a strong boy
but was carefully cared for by his
parents, who loved him seemingly
the more because Of his delicate con-
stitution.
He was converted at q Lent meet
ing in May, 1902, and no one ever
saw a brighter conversion. The
writer of this article has heard him
testify time and again always telling
how we'll he loved God and how God
had so wonderfully saved and filled
his soul with his glory. When called
upon to lead in prayer, which was
the case very often, he would lead
in the most expressive and beautiful
words ever uttered by mortal tongue
Many boys bis age would try to get
him to turn back, but he would say:
"No. no. | love Jesus and am going
to live for Him"
This should be a great lesson of
faithfulness for all, for if ever soul
was tried, his was. But he held out
faithful and true and during his last
illness said to his parents: II am
going to be with the angels soon;
meet me there"
While we miss his smiling face
and earnest life we say: Goods will
be DONE" His work was finished
here and God called him up higher,
where VIC are determined to meet
him when Jesus comes back to
gather His own to Himself and-amid
the beauty and glory of new
Heaven and a new earth, we will
again greet and walk with him for
ever. We miss him, now but we will
wait until eshadows fee away and
the dead in Christ shall come forth
then we will meet never to part
again. A RELATIVE.

Folk Has Done His Duty by
St. Louis.

Governor Folk, IN vetoing the
HiIkerbaumer police bill, has not
only confounded his enemies and
detractors, but has vindicated his
wisdom and courage as the COVER
nor of the great state Of Missouri.
The Hilkerbaumer bill was pass
ed during the last week of the leg
islature-a measure dishonesty
masked as a home-rulc bill for ST.
Louis. It was in reality an illogical,
unwise and rapacious attempt on the
part of the two parties to jointly
divide the 100000 patronage of
the police department, now exclu-
sively in the hands ofthe democrats.
The bill was drawn carelessly and in
utter ignorance ofconstitutiona Ire
quirements, manner in keeping
with its selfish aim. 1t purported to
give to st. Louis a municipal police
which, in the absence of safeguards,
would have resulted almost instant
ly in complete demoralization OF
the department.
No one who has given any study
to the science of ofgoyernment and to
the experience of our larger munici-
palities could fail to detect in the
Hilkerbaumer bill the grossestloop.

spoliation. Yet the Globe Demo.
clat, with customary blind insanity
and pusillanimous bigotry, paper
presumably backed by brains, not
! only refused to recognize the defects
sof this bill but had the consummate
dlsregard for st. Louis to pronounce
the measure a boon to the city. In
keeping with.this partizan sealotry
it editorialized rlenacingly upon
Governor Folk and the pro bability
Of his veto. A dispassionate review
Of all the conditions cannot bat i'm

the Clio sought to trap
Governor Folk into signing bill
which would be his own undoing as

which would have enthroned anar,

The question Of railroad rate legisla-
tion is one of the biggest that has con-
fronted the people of the country for
many years, and too much cannot be
said about it. Before it is settled the
people ought to be thoroly familiar
with every phase of it, and there are al
ways two sides to every question. Every
good democrat is in favor of some sort
of legislation that will safeguard the
interests OF the people and prevent ex-
tortion on the part of the railroads, with
out impoverishing the roads. l was in
favor of the Hearst bill, which did this
thing, but | am not in favor of the Esch-
Townsend bill or anything like it that
gives to the interstate commerce COM
mission arbitrary powers without pro-
viding for men on the commission who
have sense enough to know what rates
are. Simply to ascertain how many
people in this country are directly inter-
ested in this rate question that more or
less will affect the condition of the roads
went to the interstate commerce COM
mission and gathered some interesting
figures.
Insurance companies hold of railroad |
investments, SSt5, ,889, ,038; saving banks,
S528, ,555, 167. and educational institutions |

There are {, 5,299, 1852 saving bank deposit |
tors and t8,t47,00O insurance policy |
holders, Il total OF 23,447, 600 people in
terested in the prosperity of the rail- |
roads of the United States. Thirty per |
cent of the holdings of these institutions |
are IN railroad recurltes, which Is one |
sixth in value of all the railroad securi- !
ties of this country. There are 327 900 |
individual railroad stockholders in this |
country and 1,345,0O0 men at work on
the the railroads, and at least 6,5O0,OO0 |
people dependent for their income upon |
the railroads. l also ascertained that |
the rate of transportation has been in
creased less than 5 per cent, taken'as a |
whole, in the past four years, and that |
railroad rates have dropped 40 per cent
since the creation of the commission. |
These figures are interesting because
they are facts taken from the statistics, |
and every body is interested in knowing
the truth.

The old saying that he who makes two
ears of corn or two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before is real bene-
factor of mankind is as true of the modern
agricultural editor as of any other class
of public servants. A paper like The
Farmer and Stockman, of Kansas City,
Mo-, actually enables the farmer who
follows its precepte to increase very
largely the product of his farm, whether
it be grain, hay, live stock or dairy pro-
ducts. 1t is not necessary to travel be-
yond the limits OF Bollinger county to
observe the good effects of frst-class
farm literature. The circulation of The
Farmer and Stockman has greatly in
creased in this vicinity in the past few
years and the results are visible in bet
ter methods of farming everywhere.
Farm Improvements are of better grade,
agricultural implements are more intelli-
gently selected and used; more judge
rnsnt is used in regard to seed planting,
cultivation and breeding. L. any reader
