Must Show Him.

Platte City Landmark:
At the republican convention held
at Excelsior Springs last week the
following was adopted as one OF the
principal planks in the platform:
1.-THE republican party stands for
ADD believes in the principle Of
government of the people for the
people, and through its represent
tatives here assembled declares in
favor OF home rule Tor every county,
Guy and town in the state, and to the
end that this principle Of represent
tative government may be fully
exempliied, we demand that the
citizens Of each Of our large cities be
given the right TO regulate their own
affairs TO the extent of filling all offices,
including the positions OF election,
excise and police commissioners, by a
ulrect vote Oh the people OF sald cities. ;"
Here too, Jakel We too favor
''home rule for every county, city ard
town in the state" and hereby
demand the election of every gauger,
collector, United States marshall aid
postmaster by the direct vote Of the
people. We also state that unless our
republican friends come up to this
demand and show their faith in what
they state about home government and
home.rule that their public declarations
On this subj act are not worth three
cents on a dollar.

The relative opportunities IN
different ayocations is PLAINLY apparent
IN the demand for graduates OF u e
various departments Of the University
OF Missouri. Engineers are in m,sl
demand. Everyone sof the Fl ~
graduates Of that department have
been offered at least oae position ano
some of them two or three, paying
from $50 to SO, a month. One has
accepted employment with a company
ia Utah at $3.50 a month. Agri-
cul ural graduates are almost as muth
sought after as the graduates OF II e
engineering department. The medical
and law students are in least demanC.

Interview With Bryan.

The daily papers are publishing a
brief Interview with Mr.. Bryan, now
IN BeIllD. He told The interviewer
that be had not heard OF his endorse
ment by four states last week, and
that he had nothing to say on the sub
ject. He made some remarks upon
general subjects as follows:
"Before leaving home l tried to dis
tInguish between democracy and what
en- properly be called socialism.
d imocrscy recognizes competition as
legitimate and tries to protect the com
p ti.ive principle from attack. So.
oialism sees competition as an evil to
b. eliminated by public ownership and
Operation Of I'll means Of |producllOn nd
distribution. While this distinction
bstween democracy and socialism
SHOULD not be overlooked, the Demo-
cratic platform must be one of prog
resS and reform and moi merely oppo-
s lion to Republican policies or SO.
C alistic ideas.
WANTS NO CORPORATION INFLUENCE
"In our fight for the absolute eliui.
nation OF private %monopolles and for
the regulation of corporations in gen.
eral, it ls necessary that the party
shall be free from any suspicion Of al
l Ance with the corporate interests
tnat have been dominating American
p litics. To this end campaign con-
+ ibutions must be limited to those
who have the public interest to ad-
vance. l trust that public sentiment
will require all parties to keep their
books open so that hereafter no ssparty
will be under private obligati ons to
shield corporate offenders"
Abiding to conditions in the meal
industry, Mr.. Bryan said:
REFERS TO THE BEEF TRUST.
| "The beef trust is not different II
character and methods from Other
trusts, The inevitable tendency Of .
private monopoly is to increase th,
price Of a product and to lower II,
quality. Why should any one expec
anything else from a trust than th,
los ering of quality when a monopoly il
2 established? Observe, l have used th,
t words private monopoly, not public
/ In a private monopoly a private Inter
( est is set up against those Of the wi oil
r people. Quite a different principle
I comes into operation when the inter
est Of all is alone in view"

While lacking down a carpet and
talking of happy future with his
wife and baby in their new home,
August %, Houswer Denman, aged
% years, residing near Larue, Ohio,
was paralyzed by thunderbolt which
descended the chimney. Mrs Den
man and the baby, Annabel, aged .
years, were Knocked down by the
same bolt, falling beneath a table.
''For Gods sake, little girl, save
me if you can!" gasped Denman to
his wife. With supreme effort the
brave woman raised her stricken hus-
band to his feet and dragged him to
the doorway, where she thought the
fresh air might revive him. 81 feel
better now," Denman said, when a
second bolt crashed through the roof,
stricking him dead in his wifa's arms.
Mrs Denman was rendered unconsci-
GUS and the baby was hurled 20 feet.

hint, and have consisted in harden
ing steel instruments by cooling them
in a powerful current of compressed
air instead of quenching in water.
The trials indicate that for very
sharp tools this method is superior
to any other. The effect varies with
the thickness of the mass to be hard
ened, and increases with the GOODNESS
of the air and the rapidity of the
stream.
A new speed indicator for trains is
a German suggestion. A dynamo
driven by the axle of the locomotive
would show an increase in voltage
corresponding to the number of re-
volutions; and voltmeter with two
dials could be made to indicate both
the potential of the dynamo and the
corresponding rate per hour of the
locomotive. An attachment could
be added to give a continuous record
of the speed.

Collector of the City of jackson, did
on the 18th day of Septem Der. 1906,
receive from the City Clerk and ex-
ott1clo assessor of the said City of
jackson the original assessment book
for the year 1906, containing list of
the persons assessed for real and per-
sonal property and the amount of the
city taxes due thereon for said year.
That the whole of said taxes are
now due and payable, and payment
thereon may be made to me, between
the hours OF 8 a. m. and 6 pm. at my
office in the Marcia building on
Court street in the City of jackson,

say that there is little redress for the
complainants, except in the issuance
OF an order for the express companies
to treat all their patrons alike.
Scarcely has the appeal for funds
in aid of the San Francisco earth
quake sufferers been forgotten, when
the United States is asked to con-
tribute similar relief to Valparaiso.
The appeal has been sent to the state
department by Mr. Hicks, the United
States minister to Chilli, who says
that the local situation is very dis
tressing and that funds should be
sent if possible by cable. 1t is true
that the president issued proclama-
ton on the subject of Gillian con-
tributions as soon as the news of the
earthquake was received IN this
country. Agents of the Red Cross
were also sent to the spot, but actual
contributions have been exceedingly
few. The state department has been
rather mortified at this failure to
respond and hope is expressed that
money in aid of the Gillian sufferers
will soon be forthcoming In larger
quantities. The Chilian government
has made no direct appeal for aid to
this country, but it is known never
theless that contribution would be
received there with the deepest graft
tude.

Longevity of Beasts

One of the Smithsonian scientists
calls attention to the fact that the
duration of the lives of the lower
animals differs from that of men s
lives in being far more uniform.
While human beings die at all ages
between infancy and senility, among
the lower animals, on the contrary,
all individuals of the same species
live to very nearly the same age, I'M
less killed by violence.
Some examples of remarkable Ionge-
witty among animals may be cited.
For instance, there is the story of
the elephant Ajax, which Alexander
captured at his victory over Porus.
The conquerer affixed an inscription
to the animal and set it at liberty.
Three hundred and fifty years later
Ajax is said to have been found still
living. Bat little dependence can be
placed on most stories of long life
among animsls.
No one would buy a sailboat with
sails that could not be reefed. There
is always that possibility of little
too much wind that makes a cautious
man afraid to go unprovided. The
thinking man, whose stomach some
times goes back on him, provides for
his stomach by keeping a bottle of
Kodol for dyspepsia within reach.
Kodol dlgeStS what YOU eat and re-
stores the stomach to the condition to
properly perform its functions. Sold
