His wife's Money.

One upon a time a man married a
woman who had inherited $500 from
a grandfather. This was all she ever
received. but the man never got credit
for his efforts the rest of his life. He
built a new store. Did 1t with his

only comment. The little measley
$500 she inherited was given the cred.

and when he died and his wife put M

really went for: During her engage

The Voice of Democracy.

ST. Louis Republic: President
Roosevelt. first and last, has stolen a
good deal of democratic thunder which
he doesn't know very well how TO use.
but republican chumps who imagine
that the democrats have no issues left
will be undeceived if they will listen a
little to the voice of democracy now
resounding through the counties of
Missouri
The notes of democratic doctrine
sound strong and clear in all the dem
ocratic county conventions. and texts
from the Jeffersonian gospel are given
out for preachment in every township
between now and November.
In reaffirming the principles of JEFF
fersoian democracy the democrats of
Missouri do not need to expand their
resolutions with multitude of words.
The simple mention of Jefferson 5
name expresses hostility TO most of
the things that the republican party
has done. is doing or wants 10 do.
Reform of the robber Dingley tariff
is a purpose on which Missouri democ-
racy is unanimous and determined. Re
publicans who claim that the tariff
should be revised by its friends" are
reminded that they have put it off too
long. and that the democratic party is
the only friend of the right kind of
tariff
Hostility TO trusts and monopolies in
restraint of trade. hostility to machine
methods and boss rule in politics. 10y
atty to representative government
freely exercised are elemental parts of
the Jeffersonian democracy whose
voice is heard all through Missouri
just now
State and national conventions may
expand upon the issues. but all the is
sues the democracy contends for in the
opening campaign are covered by the
single Jeffersonian maxim: Equal
rights 10 all. special privileges to
mono"
