LADY RIDERS


In the ladies ring there were five
contestants, q, follows: Mrs. Charles
Buttcriicld, Misses Florence Swink,
Florence Kennedy Gladys Rozier, and
Louise BoehIe of Ste Geneyieye couu-
~.
Miss Florence Swink was awarded
first premium, aud Miss Boehlc second.
There was much interest manifested
in this contest and Miss Boehle had
many parlisans who were wild for her
to secure the blue ribbon She was
certainly a good and fearless horse.
woman and in a steeple race or a fox
chase would probably have outstripped
her competitors; but there was lack
ing some OF the charm Of grace and
poisc OF Miss Swink, who sat her horse
like queen aud managed him with
the skill OF an expert. Miss Florence
Kennedy is splendid rider, graceful
and tactfpl, and presented a charming
picture that no doubt puzzled the
judges in making up their decisions.
Mrs. Butterlield and Mrs. Rozier rode
astridc with bifurcated skirts, and are
fine and graceful riders, but the judges
appeared to be a little prejudiccd
against this mode which is becoming
quite common in many sections, but
is rather an innovation here.

TWAS A GOOD SHOW.
Over 5000 People Witnessed the Free
Stock Show in Pennington last
Monday.

The stock show in Pennington last
Monday was decided success in
every way. The streets were jammed
and the people joslled and pressed
each other in the most sOciable and
friendly way 1t is yariously estimated
that there were from 5000 to $500
people in town, many from adjoining
counties.
The exhibition Of stobk was large
almost like an Old.time county fair,
and showed that ST. Francois county
most of the entries being from this
county-is well up in fine and blooded
stock, especially IN the way Of horses
and cattle. For several years our
farmers have given more attention to
improving their stock, and the display
last Monday was evidence of good
results in that direction.
The credit of couceiving the idea Of
holding stock show in Pennington is
due to the genial host of the ST Fran.
co.'s Hotel, who, on the 18th of April,
on his own initiative, started out to see
what he could do in the way of raising
fdnds for free stock show In u
few hours he had assurances Of about
$500 in subscriptions In the evening
he presented the list aud plan to the
Business Mems Club, which took il
up, appointed committees, went to
work to raise more money, advertise
the enterprise, aud from the start the
stock show was an assured success.
Following are the entries Of stock

Mr.. Martin Lehmayer, member
Of the House Of Delegates from Bal.
timore city, is recognized as one oI
the most earnest, conscientious Dem.
ocrats in the State. He stood with
Mr.. Murphy in the effort 70, secuxe
such changes as were ft0ugRt desir.
able in the present election laws.
This Is what ne has to say of the
position Of the Republicans:
Lord Beaconsfield once said In
sepaking of a coming election, we
must go down to the country with
a cry The Republican party evi.
IDENTIFY had this in view when they
refused to pass the amended Muir.
ply Election Law. The Conference
Committee reported o bill that with
a few exceptions was the very &C,
for which all the Republicans in the
House had voted, and yet it was
due to their failure to support the
report OF this Committee that caused
the law to fail for want OF constitu.
tional majority. II they had been
sincere and consistent in their course
the amended Murphy bill would now
be on the statute books of the State.
l furthermore charge that the Re-
publicans in the House stood in the
way OF much Legislation that looked
to the betterment of our election
laws. | introduced several bills
which they helped to defeat. Among
them were the following:
/. House Bill, printed No. "a,
amending election law for Baltimore
city in reference to marking and
couating OF ballots.
2. House Bill. printed No. 389,
providing for a recount in Primary
Elections where fraud is charged.
3. House Bill, printed No. 469,
providing for an amendment to the
Constitution doing away with the
engrossing of all bills.
Itseems to me that the Republicans
were looking for an issue for the
next campaign, and acted according
ly."-DenOcrat.

The trusts and tariff protected
corporations are in high glee at the
turn political events have taken, by
the concentration of public opinion
upon railroad rate Legislation. Mr..
Payne, the Republican leader in Con-
gress and chairman of the committee
on Ways and Means, which controls
all revenue legislation, has declared
in a signed statement that there will
be no tariff bill reported at this ses-
sion OF Congress. This Republican
standpat policy was agreed to last
Fall by President Roosevelt and
Speaker Cannon, and the personnel
OF the Committee OF Ways and Means
was selected by Speaker Cannon, so
that G. majority were ardent protec
tionists. Thus those Republican
voters, who favored the revision. of
the tariff that fosters trusts and al.
lows them TO charge plundering pro-
hts, were again fooled, after voting
for many Republican candidates for
Congress who promised to vote 10
revise those tariff schedules that
protected the trusts, prevented COM
petition, and allowed the trusts To
sell cheaper abroad than here.
When those Republican congress
men who were pledged to tariff re.
form, elected Mr.. Cannon as Speaker
OF the House and adopted rules that
gave him autocratic power over leg
lslation, they knew they were sell
ing out their constituents to the pro-
tected monopolies, and giving the
party machine the power to defeat
or pass such Legislation as it pleased.
The same conditions will obtain AT
the election this Fall, aud the cues
tion IS: Can the voters be fooled
again to vote for Republican candi-
dates for Congress who will stand
pat and let the trusts continue to
plumber the consumers? Promises
OF Republican candidates are of no
avail unless the pledge is given to
keep out OF caucus and vote for a
Speaker who will agree to give tariff
revision the right of way. That
Mr.. Cannon will never accede 10.
for he is an ardent protectionist.
The membership of the next Con-
gress will be more evenly divided
between the parties and the result
in any district may determine which
party shall control. The trusts and
corporations will pay money to the
Republican campaign fund with the
understanding that their interests
are to be protected, but none but
the voters themselves will furnish
funds or efforts for the election Of
the Democratic candidates. That
alone should be their recommends
ton to independent voters, if thew
measure up as they should to the
Jefiersonian requirements of ability
