Trap was singularly tempting, a per-

end invisible from the center. The
Trap was an ideal spot for curbing the
ambitions of Marlborough residents for
eclipsing all speed records in autos.
With man at each end of the Trap,
with telephone communication between,
the Marlborough constables had reason
to Congratulate themselves, But the
Phantom Auto changed all this. One
night it came into the Trap at sixty

end waited twenty minutes and failed

unsolved when Hutchinson Hatch, the
reporter, laid it before Professor Van
Dusen, the Thinking Machine. His
logic easily solved the problem that
seemed impossible to detectives: It

For y and Folk.

Mexico, Mo-, April 9.-(Special)
Audrain county Democrats, in
convention here today, selected
William Jennings Bryan for the
party's presidential candidate in
1908. and named Governor Folk
for his running mate.
The convention instructed for
delegates to the state judicial con-
vention at Excelsior Springs to
work for Judge George Robertson,
of Mexico, as a candidate for the
short term to fill the vacancy on the
supreme bench caused by the x
piration of the term for which
Judge w. 9. Marshall was elected.
Judge Robertson is so years old
has been a prominent Missouri
lawyer for a number of years, has
served as president of the Missouri
Bar Association and is now a
nonresident lecturer at the Mis-
souri, state university, on munich
pal law.
The public services and record
of Representative Champ Clark
were also Endorsed by. the con-
vention.

Hates Labor Wasted,

The man who writes anonymous
letters is always a coward. He
classes with the man who stabs in
the dark but of the two he is the
more despisable since he aims to
destroy character and reputation.
East Saint Louis has recently
developed an anonymous letter
writer. He has been flooding
Missouri with letters aimed at the
Republican party and calculated
to injur it.
, Some of the Democratic papers
have given space to the attack but
the Republican press has simply
used it to point a moral. The
Grant City Star has this to say of
the letters:
The Democratic papers are TAX =
ing these letters up and circulate
ing them as campaign material.
1t is no surprise, however, that
Democratic papers should take up
communications circulated anony-
mously as they are driven to dire
straits in this state for issues and
can find nothing upon which to
make a campaign except a bastard
letter that is a lie of such transpar-
ency that no one is willing to faith
er it,"
Anony letters do very lit
tie harm these days. The people
are too enlightened to give them
much weight. Whatever little
injury the East Saint Louis craven
may have done has been more
than Offset by the sturdy refusals
from the Republican papers. He
has wasted money and time to no
avail. 1t is a clear case of Hates
labor lost.

Lid Advocates.

According to published reports,
Ray county has just placed Gov
ernor Folk and his party in a most
embarrassing position. With the
Governor shouting prohibition
and the lid, and depending on
these for victory this fall, the Ray
county primary, held at Richmond
recently, was one of the wettest
affairs in the history of that sec
ton.
"Young men who for the first
time cast their ballot, did SO un-
der the influence of liquor" says
the report. "Pe-haps they did
not vote their choice, but, under
the spell of bum booze and some
candidate or his supporter, voted
the way they did. We also NOTICE
ed old, greyheaded men in the
same fix"
Those who are familiar with the
Bourbons and their affection for
whisky will see no cause for sur
prise in the action of the Ray
county contingent. This incident
is notable, however, as an ~illustra-
ton of the hopelessness of any eff
fort to lead the Democrats into the
paths of prohibition, and the pal
pable %incincerity of the men who,
knowing the stuff of which the
Bourbons are made, is declaring
that they are fighting for the ADOLF
ton of the liquor traffic in Mis-
souri, and are anxious to help to
hold down the Sunday lid.
While Democrats are, and
while they continue to fight for
office, just so long will whisky
continue to be the most potent vote
maker known for them. Governor
Folk al not, of course, be blamed
for this, but he does deserve CEN
sure for attempting to hold up a
bunch of topers as temperance
champions. In this he insults the
intelligence of the Missouria n
voters and compels the belief tina t
he is observation-disclosures Re-
publican.

Good Roads.

The usual spring demand for
good country roads is being heard
in all sections at present. AS the
mud grows deeper the demand
grows more strenuous and it looks
as if there would be some result
worth while. Each spring, how
ever, the same old demand has
been heard and has died away
with the coming of dust and sum-
mer.
This year the crusade against
mud should be made to amount to
something. Let the growing and
general demanding cease and in
stead let meetings be held and
plans for betterment formulated.
BY this means alone will the evil
ever be remiedied.
Then every farmer can aid in
keeping the roads in good condi =
ton by adopting the broad tired
; agon wheels. These do not cut
the roads up but on the contrar y
tend to keep them smooth. Then
they can be driven over wet fields
and roads when the narrow tires
would cut too deep.
Complain about the roads as
much as you please, but do it sys-
tematically, before your neighbors
and let a resolution providing
ways and means of wiping out the
cause follow. Then see that the
resolution is put into effect at
once.
