Secretary Taft has given up all
hope of bringing about peace in
Cuba without American interven-
tion. Several warships have been
ordered to report in Cuban waters
and in very short time the island
will be held by American authori-
ty. The opinion of secretary Taft
is that President Palma has not
been sincere in his negotiations
with the commissioners. By the
resignation of President Palma
and all his officials there is left
no government with which to
treat. This resignation was not
acted upon by congress at once,
aud in the meantime the opposing
forces was led to meeting to dis
cuss all disputed points, with the
United States commits ssioners as
final referees. In the event of un-
fair arbitration the United States
to take temporary military con-
troll. 1t is hoped that upon these
terms peace may be restored.

Every farmer in Montgomery
county should become a member
of the American Society of Equity
it will insure better prices for all
crops raised as well as live stock.
That this can be done is proven
by the Cotton Growers Associa-
ton in the south; and this society
is modelled along the same lines.
Self preservation is the first law of
nature and the farmer has the
right and should protect himself
the same as any other producer.
Competition among farmers is
to-day the only competition
known as all other producers are
cooperating or combining for
the purpose of self-betterment,
and while the farmers may not be
able to break up these combines
he can protect himself if he will,
by controlling the prices of his
products.

The following excerpt is taken
from the Missouri Democratic
platform adopted atJefferson City
June 6, 1906: "The Democratic C
party has favored the strict en-
forcement of the laws. The only
way the people can rule is through
the laws they make through their
representatives. If these laws are
not enforced the will of the people
is thwarted." We do not need in
this nation newIaws so much as
the enforcement of the laws we
have. Missouri is leading the
fight for law enforcement. Will
the Democrats of Montgomery
County join in the fight?

Democratic candidates ar e

coming election, yet when coun-
ty court orders Publication

County, Democratic Clerk,
Deputy and Sheriff sees that the
Republican paper published in the
town where their Office is, is not
provided with the copy, on the
plea that said paper was over
looked. 1t was our impression
that the Clerk of the County Court
was supposed to obey the instruc-
tions of the Court whether or not
the political prejudices of his
"August Parsonage" the clerk was
tickled or not. However, we see
that our impressions were erron-
eous, that when the court errs it
is his duty to see that they are
corrected, in as far that a Re-
publican paper in their home
city is not entitled to anything.
This is on a par with the rumor in
circulation, and we believe it to
be true, of an utterance of
one of the Democratic candi-
dates who was wont to say that a
Republican was as good as a
"nigger" if he behaved himself as
well, that he wouldn't vote for a
Republican. Again this same

Parsimony Toward Education.

Parsimony Toward Education.
From the Kansas City journal.
j. u. White, Republican nomi-
nee for State Superintendent of
Public obstruction, calls timely at
tention to the inadequate wages
they can hardly be called salaries
paid to school teachers in Mis-
souri,. The facts speak eloquently
of the inefliciency of Democratic
administration in dealing with
the matter so far as it is within the
providence of officials to do SO.
Nothing could be truer than the
statement once made by ex-Gov-
ernor Crittenden, of this city, that
"parsin ony toward education is
liberality toward crime" 1t is
shown by cold statistics that while
only four States in the Union re-
ceive more from local tax alton for
their schools than Missouri, twen-
ty-six states spend more, and
thirty-two spend more per pupil.
This showing does not rebound to
to the credit of the State authori-
ties who have charge of Missouri
school matters.
Mr.. White points out many in
stancs where progressive, wide
awake superintendent of public
instruction could at least call the
a tention of the Legislature to
evils that might easily be remed-
led by proper Legislation and
would in ali probability be so
if they were presented
in the proper light.
The school boards of the various
cities are for the most part up to
date, and no State in the Union
has better public school in the
large cities than has Missouri. 1t
is in the country districts that the
right kind of a State superinten-
dent and the right kind of legis-
lation are SO badly needed. Mr..
White points out that the average
wages of country teachers is only
S214 per per year, and that forty
seven teachers receive but 800 per
year while coal miners receive
from 5000 to $500, and farm labor
ers S400.
Perhaps the most striking state
ment made by Mr.. White from
the statistics on the subject shows
that 5000 teachers, or nearly one
third OF the total teaching force of
the State are driven to seek more
remunerative positions every year,
leaving their places to be filed by
inexperienced and cheaper in
structors. In 5000 schools of the
State the teachers teach whatever
they wish to and in their own way,
with apparently no intelligent SUI
pervision whatever.
There is little doubt that the
legislature, if the matters were
brought to it's attention in the
right way, would gladly enact
some of the measures suggested
by Mr.. White among which are
the reorganization of the district |
school system, minimum sala-
ry law and the increase from one
third to at least two-fifths of the |
total revenue available for school |
The elimination of politics from
the public schools is devoutly to
be desired, but the dominant party |
has so signally failed to manage
the school system as it should be
that the wisest solution |
of the pro blem appears to be the
election of officials representa- g |
the party which has reputation
for doing things as they should

The TRANSPARENT Gown.

A decidedly new frill has cropt into
society \ few years ago it would
have been frowned down as bad taste
but this season it is the thing of all
things. 1t is the smartest and newest
rill of all.
This new fashion is that Of the
transparent gown. The diaphonous
dress of summer has been brought
forward into winter, and the prospects
are that it will reign for long season
at least 1t is quite different from the
former thin gowns.
Very thin taffeta, of the kind called
chiffon, or gauze taffeta, or taffeta
null, is made up into dinner and after.
noon gowns. The style Of the making
of the gown is perfectly plain, and the
material is so thin that you can see
through it.
1t is very much like the silk null
summer dress, which is quite familiar
to all. 1t is very thin, and you can see
the lingerie plainly through it. 1t is
necessary to wear very handsome
under waist, and to trim the same
with ribbons of color to show through
in a smart way.

Glass Candlestlcks.

Glass candlesticks are much in de-
mand now. The pressed glass can be
had at remarkably low prices, while
the cut glass is not prohibitive in
price. Many persons object to touch
ing any brass object, and also dislike
the labor Of cleaning brass. Glass is
more desirable on this account, and
looks very pretty upon the dining
table, either with or without shades.
1t is growing to be more and more

cabinets and china closets, and in up.

0LDBOOK IS VALUABLE
SACRED BURMESE WORK TAKEN
FROM EASTERN TEMPLE.
Given to Minnesota Man by English
Army Officer-Said to Be Over
5000 Years Old and Worth
Small Fortune.

Fergus Falls, Minn.--In the posses
sion of e. j. OXley, of this city, is a
Burmese book of exceeding value. 1t
is about IS inches in length, and the
leaves are 212 inches in width and
much thicker than ordinary paper.
Fastened together they make vol
ume about five inches thick. The
leaves are sections of palm leaf, paper
being unknown until centuries alter
this particlar book was made, and the
characters are delicatoly cut into the
leaves, so that there is no such thing
as fading.
The book was given Mr. OXloy by
Sergt Fred Stokes, of the English
army, who took it from a Burmese
temple in the English-Burman war Of
25 years ago. Mr.. OXley, who is him
self an Englishman had occasion to
visit his native land, and Sergt
Stokes made him a present of the
book as he was returning to Amer
ica
The sergeant had taken a small
Burmese god from the same temple,
and the temple and village were then
burned by the soldiers. Neither he
nor Mr.. OXley regarded the book as
anything more than ordinary curios.
ity at the time the present was made
The first intimation that Mr.. Ok.
ley had as to its real value was given
him by Burmese lecturer to whom
he showed it few months ago. The
man, on seeing it, bluntly told the
owner that he never came by any
such book as that honestly; that it
could not be held as private property
in Burmah, and that it was kept sa.
cred and never handled except by the
higher orders of the priesthood. He
stated that 1t had taken at least one
man lifetime to carve the curious
characters, and that the book was at
least 5000 years old. He offered Mr..
OXley 5000 for it, but he had already
told him too much about it and the
offer was promptly declined. He
then offered $40, and this offer was
also declined.
The lecturer, before leaving town,
told some friends that the book
would sell for several thousand dol.

person. LEGAL ministers and others

Gently at a smoker" for six of his
chums confided to his sister that he
would like something different from
the ordinary place cards. And this
is what he found on red cardboard
panels done in india ink at each place
resting against small stems Of Aus
trian ware. This clever recipe" was
illustrated with neat little sketches
sprinkled over the panel in a most at
tractive manner. Each chap declared
them worthy Of frame or at least
"passe- -par-touting." The recipe for
happiness is as follows:
To make it-Take a hall dimly lit,
A pair of stairs where two may sit,
OF music soft bar or so,
Two pairs of-just two pairs--yoU
know?
OF little pats, one or two,
Or one squeezed hand instead will do;
A waist the size to be embraced;
And two ripe lips-rose bud-to taste,
And if the lips are soft and sweet
You'll find your happiness complete. -
