The Inter Ocean declares that many re-

to admit that Governor Cummins is a

The case submitted by the Inter. Ocean

The shock OF the earthquake was felt
as far south as Santa Barbara. The fact
that Ga kland and San jose and other
bay cities have not been able to com.
municate with Los Angeles would indi-
cate that they, too, have suffered from
the shock.

nFead the Brute. y

Il
Here is some of Walter Williams
kindly philosophy:
"He may be Just tired. True, he Is
cross and you are inclined to spank
him-but he is a man and not baby
and so you cannot. The real trouble
is fatigue, not bad temper caused by
fatigue. That's the cause Of his cross
ness. Maybe the fatigue comes about
through his work for you. 1t is Inn
possible to keep keyed up to the high
est pitch all the while. No man can
keep always at highest tension. When
the string says in the violen it is not
surprising that the music is poor.
"iHe is just tired, That's the cause
of bis moral nbliquity. No man can
so clearly see the difference between
right and wrong when bis body is IA
tigued. Sinfulness is sometimes the
result of physical fatigue as well as
of moral turpitude. He should be
punished OF course-anu Will De-10r
his wrong doing but his tiredness is
a migrating circumstance.
"That tired feeling should be TAX
en- into account in all the Judgements
which men pronounce upon men. The
harshness Of many criticisms would be
softened TO the gentlest rebuke II 1t
was recalled when bodies get tired the
effect extends to brains and hearts
and words. Most anybody can be good
and sweet and gentle when all the
physical nature points to exaltation
but when the physical man is down in
the dumps it is more difficult. Feed

A. O, u. w. Letter.

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Sept. 2l.-Dear Sir:
The A. o. U. W. Lodge, Audrain,
No. 25, has been frequently asked
whether we were alive or not. In an
swer l will say that Audrain No. 25,
A. o. U. w., Of Mexico, Mo-, is one
Of the live, hustling lodges of the
Jurisdiction of Missouri. We woke
up last spring and have been growing
ever since. There have been only four
meetings this summer that we have
not initiated from two to six new
members, applications nearly every
Monday night. If some Of the older
members will come out and see our
newdegree team put the candidates
through the third degree, they will
laugh until their sides are sore, and
will feel as IL they were having the
time OF their lives. We have almost
reached the 120 membership mark,
with several applications pending and
more In sight. Nearly all Of our new
members are under thirty years Of
age with the greater number under
twenty-five, and all are hustlers. We
have had several open meetings with
speeches, songs, and refreshments,
and also two smokers this summer;
are planning for several entertain
ments this fall and winter Come
boys, all OF you that are from Is to
45 years Of age that want the best Of
fraternal protection at moderate
rates, get into the A. o. U. W. band
wagon and we will do you good. You
carry either $500, $1,000, $500 or $1,000
protection at rates that are within
the reach Of anyone. We also have
q splendid auxiliary lodge for the lad
les in the Degree Of Honor of the A,

moral character from sweet sixteen
up to fifty-fve years OF age may join
and have an enjoyable time at every
meeting, which are on the second and
fourth Tuesday nights Of each month

NEW ADDITION TO MEXICO.
0. D. Gray Will Help Make Homes
For Mexico People.

Since April /, 1906, Omar d. Gray
editor of the Sturgeon Leader, ha,
made six visits to Mexico. He hai
been looking for a suitable tract ot
ground to make an addition Of.
He visited Albany, Carrollton, Co.
lumbla, Moberly, Fayette, Paris and
other Missouri towns, and last week
decided in his own mind that Mexico
offered the best opportunity to work
out the plans 10 his mind
He thinks that the people Of this
town do not know what good town
they have. He believes that she has
a bright future in store for her and
he shows his faith by buying her dirt.
AS stated In the LEDGER of yester-
day he purchased about thirty-two
acres OF land from c. w. Lewis and
and W. ]. Bolts, situated Just west OF
fair grounds and front on the eighty
foot boulevard.
He will plat this ground at once and
sell it in lots. He will not auction
same but will sell every lot in
the addition at a uniform price.
probably s75 each. They will be sold
on the installment plan. the purcbaS.
er making weekly or monthly nav
ments on each lot purchased
This is a yery popular uIap and Il
gives to each wage Garner a chance
to save a little money by buying a
piece OF ground at a fair price. and
while be is making his payments the
land is advancing in value
The whole story of the deal is too
long to give In detail al this time. but
