Letter From W. A. Edmonston

To the Editor Of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo, Aug. dear Sir:
In your evening paper Of July 26, 1905,
appeared an anonymous article on the
trial and verdicts in the cases Of the
State of Missouri VS. Edmund and
Alva Bailey at Fulton, Mo. Although
l have used every effort known to me
to learn who wrote that article l have
failed. viii you please give the
name or names of the person or per-
sons who wrote 1t From the ear
marks OF the article the writer was
In sympathy with the prosecution and
against both of the defendants and
both juries as the writer plucked from
the cherished evidence Of the State to-
wit those tyraded letters and gave no
part OF defendants evidence, IL being
the evidence which the iuries found to
be sufficient under the sustructions In
Of the court to acquit both defendants
and 10th juries rendered a verdict
such a one so as any honest jury would
have rendered under the law evidence
and all the facts detailed at the trial.
And 1t Is not only unkind but unjust
after a party is defeated in a trial to
condemn the jury through the news
papers and that without signing
their name to say the least Of 1t 1t is
cowardly and unmanly. Why didn't
they give a correct and true state
ment of the evidence upon which the
jury found the defendants not guilty.
l did hope that the dirty and filthy
evidence would never be mentioned
after the trials / do not wish to pub
lish the evidence which gave both de
PENDANTS this freedom but If 1t be-
comes necessary | will give 1t In just
ice to those juries "bad workman
quarrel with their toals." Mr.. Editol
please give the public the name OF
names of the person or persons who
wrotethatanonymous articleand oblige
your respt W, A. EDMoNsroN.

SCOTT OR THE HORSE, WHICH?

Following is the running comment
on Mr.. Chas. Scott, his horse and
unique" trip through the State:
Say, John, did you see Mr.. Scott
on his unique ride?:'
Law, no, Jack, was that horse
named 'unick?, They say it was a
Jim dandy"
You don't know nothing, you old
hayseed, l went clean over to New
Albany to see that animal. They tell
me Mr.. Scott gave $500 for him, and
| you ought t'have seen that man ridin'
him-he looked like a texas cow boy"
where's he goin'? | wish | could
a seen that horse. But | bet he was
mt any bigger'n my old Kid mule"
He was ridin' to the Gulf"
What for, to water his horSe?"
They say he made a fine impress
sion along the road"
Yes, | hears a heap a talk about
the c~ritter: she must a been a rouster."
"Oh, e the man. Mr.. Scott
he made a good impression"
Impression OF the road, did you
say"
mo, along the road"
What was along the road to make
an impression on?:"
"On, L don't know-shut up"
But | wish l could a seen that
hoss."
Mr.. Scott is running for governor
and looking for votes"
Land sakeS, did he expect to meet
them in the big road?"
well, really. he didn't expect to
see 50 many people, but-well-er he

THE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS.

Success is commonly understood t
mean the getting of money.
No matter how it is gotten; wheth
er it is wrung from the hands OF toll
ing and suffering men and women; M
matter if every penny represents ar
orphans tear; no matter if every
gilded coin is the cost of helpless suf.
fering.
Get money; get more money, and
the more you get the greater measure
of your success.
This is the commonly accepted def
milton OF success. But it isn't so. 1t
is a foul and flimsy falsehood. 1t is a
sOrdid pollution of sentiment. Gold
is not success. You may pile it as
high as the steeple OF ST. Peters, and
bury it deep within the earth-it is
not success. He who has only money
for his success is a poor, weak. worth
less, pitiful pauper; he's a rank, rotten
failure-mOre than a failure. He who
has only gold is a pauper more help
less and ragged and wretched than
Lazarus ever waS-and doesn't know
it.
Recently some OF the magazines Of
fered a prize of $3.50 for the best def
milton of success. Thousands replied.
Many definitions were given, and
nearly all of them mentioned money"
as at least one of the elements of sue
cess. The answer which won the
prize was written by Miss Bessie A.
Stanley, of Lincoln, Kans. 1t was as
follows:
He has achieved success who has
lived well, laughed often and loved
much; who has gained the trust of
pure women and the love of little
children; who has filed his niche and
accomplished his task; who has left
the world better than he found it,
whether by an approved poppy, a per-
feet poem or a rescued soul; who has
never lacked appreciation of earth's
beauty OF failed to express it; who has
always looked for the best in others
and given the best he had; whose life
was an inspiration; whose memory a
benediction."
Not a word about money. The love
of a little child; the making Of a bet J

1t is said that during the last twelve
months, $4,000 people have suffered
death at the hands OF their fellow
man within the United States and to
the shame OF our beloved state, as
many, IL not more, hOmicideS were
committed within it's borders than
that Of any other state. The fact
that homicides are on the increase re-
fleets upon the integrity of our citi-
zenship and will ere long bring the
maledictions Of the King of the uni
verse upon our heads.
