Some of our Democratic OK
changes in this congressional dis
trict are wont to speak of Con
grcssman Rhodes, now represent
ing the district, in sighting terms,
calling him political accident;
that he happened to be nominated
only because no one else cared to
have the nomination, and that he
is only there for day. His
capabilities arc snecringIy- belit-
tied. MIR. Rhodes during the short
time be has been representing the
district has made greater direct
ed effort in behalf of the people of
the district than had been made in
all the eight years term of his I'M
mediate predecessor. He is not
nearly the ''accident" that John II.
Raney WAS in 1894, in nomination,
election or official conduct. He
captured the nomination at Ste.
Genevicve iii 1901 on the first
ballot, though some of the smooth
est and most conspicuous pnliti-
clans of the party fought against
him there in favor of two or three
opposing candidates. The guam

right there. His election waS no
more an accident than was the ca

Please admit stranger to your
interesting circle. | have been Il
silent reader of your valuable pa
per for some time and thought l
would send in a few items.
Our new stave mill is almost un-
der full operation now, and with
such men as James Mason and An
drew Palmer at the head of this
enterprise, rye expect to see rec
ord breaking business done here in
the near future.
Robinson, the tic boss, was in
our vicinity taking up ties the lat
ter part of the week. We learn
he culled the boys ties pretty bad.
Mr.. Sam Staples of Berrvman,
accompanied by Miss Sarah Mat
chelI, spent few very pleasant
hours last Sunday at Mr.. Press
Lucas.
Mr.. Dan Gillian met with very
painful accident last Friday, he
was ont near his place cutting some
firewood when his axe became en-
tangled il some brush, which caus-
the axe to fly back and the dull
blade struck him in the forehead,
inhicting wound two or three
inches long. We learn he is get
ting along as well rs can be ex-
peeted.
Mr.. Sam Todd of Tick Branch
was among our people Sunday.
The old store house, situated on
the Lucas ranch, is undergoing II
state of renovation and repair, and
Mr.. Press Lucas will open up &
general line of merchandise there
in few days.
Our country has at last walked uI,
up and in high state of prosperi,
ty, with SAW and stave mills in all
directions. We have the fertile
soil, we have the lead ore and we
have the timber, and now what we
need most is railroad facilities.
Our distinguished "Uncle Pike"
Of Brazil must come over and see
what we stave mill boys are doing
now, since the bark has begun to
peel again We have sure got The

Isolation a Thing of the Past.

The era of isolation for the peo-
pie Of the country is passed. Now
the farmer reads his paper the day
it is printed, and hears the --latest
from town over his telephone. Go
among the people of the rural dis
trict of Missouri, and the same is
true of a majority of the states in
the Union, and they can talk as
understandingly upon current hap
pening as the people of the cities
Through the courtesy of ''uncle
SAM" who delivers his mail to him
each day free Of charge, the farm
er is able to supply himself with
daily papers and periodicals, and
keeps pace with the march Of cur
rent history. The telephone puts
him in instant communication with
his home town and with the larger
cities.
Farm life today is not like farm
life of a quarter of century ago.
Then the rural mail route and the
rural telephone were almost un-
heard Of. Then for days at a time
no echoes of what was going on in
the busy world reached the ears of
country people. In the busy
seasons, where the distance to the
post office was considerable, even
the weekly paper could not be had.
Nothing was there but hum drum
monotony. The fact that the sense
of isolation in country life has
been obIitcrated by the advent of
the mail route and the telephone,
should serve, in great measure,
to stop the rush CT the country
boys and girls to the cities in
search of more congenial surround

Count Boni de CastelIane has
spent something like g, 900, 900 Of
the Gould fortune since he married
old Jay Gould's daughter, all of
which came from this country, of
course. Let lis sec what that
looks like to a man that has to
work for a living. 1t means the
labor of a thousand men, earning
a thousand dollars year for nine
years, or the labor of 1900 men
for one year. AS the average
earnings of the American wage
Garner arc far below $1,000 a
year, it makes the comparison seem
still more brutal to the humanitarian
who believes that the rewards of
toll should be for the tOilers. Yet
we wonder at the growth of social
ism, and depiore its menace of
American institutions. American
institutions that permit such an in
justice as we have portrayed above
not only need menacing, but should
be torn up root and branch.

in its relation to local politics.
Some have been kind enough to
say that our stand upon this ques-
ton has had its influential bearing
upon the liquor situation here to-
day. 1t is more than likely had
not the booze in elections business
been overworked here in the inter
est of certain cliques that have
sought to dominate in politics and
public affairs genctallyt there
might still be saloons operating in
Potosi. 1t was booze in politics
rather than an overwhelming
growth Of the temperance senti-
sentiment that has killed the sa-
looms here.

We are no admircr of Senator
Tillman of North Carolina. AS a
general thing his attitude is that of
a loud mouthed blatherskite, but
he put some good, rugged common
sense in statement in the Senate
the other day when he remarked,
that the devilmcnt of the pluto
Gratis would not cease until we be-
gin putting law breaking million
aires in penitentiary stripes. The
pIutocratic rascal does not mind
punishment by fine, and even the
fines are 50 rare that they do not
figure heavily in his profit and

course, that they will when they
get into the other townships, where
the anti-Iiquor sentiment is more

The Senate is tying to loophole
the House rate bill to lot the rail
roads pass through. Tho Senate
wants to make rate law which
will enable railroads to take the
findings of the rate making board
into tho courts, and we can easily
SEQ who is going to come ont ahead
through such Il law. The railroads
would quickly have tho rate qncs,
ton so balled mp in the courts that
they could go on interminably in
their unjust determinations with
out serious hindrancc. The great
corporations do not maint"i" high
priced legal departments for fun,
and to get the rate fixing business
into the courts would bc nuts for
the corporation lawyers.

A great deal is being said, from
various views of the subject, upon
the recurring annual deficits in the
Post Office Department, and the
cause of the effect is attributed al
most as variously. The critics of
this department compare it with
the postal services Of the leading
countries Of Europe, where a sur
plus rather than Il deficit results,
which is hardly fair. The en-
ploycs of the postal departments
of foreign countries receive much
smaller salaries than do those of
this country, which may account
largely for the surplus revenues Of
foreign postal departments. An
American would not work in the
postal service here for the same
amount that is paid in foreign ser
vices, he conld make twice as much
at almost any other employment,
and yet the average mechanic or
skilled workman receives better
pay than the average postoflicc
employe. 1t is the cost of the SER
vice that occasions our annual post
Office deficits.
