another of my ex-constituents, who
rendered heroic service at San Fran
cisco. Colonel John w. Jacks, one of
my most valued editorial constituents,
briefly relates the story in the Mont
gomery Standard in this wise:
When all others had deserted their
posts at the San Francisco mint during
the earthquake one man stayed there to
protect the property of the govern
ment and by his good sense and prompt
action saved the government many thou
sands of dollars. That one man was a
Mfssourian. John NJ Mcclure, and for
merly from Montgomery county, He once
edited the Wide Awake in Wellsville and
from there went to California, where he
was editing paper when Cleveland was
elected. He secured an appointment DUR
ing the Cleveland administration and has
been detailed to service at the San Fran
cisco federal stations ever since. 1t is
probable that his action in this San Fran
cisco matter will result in his promotion
to a much more lucrative job than the
one he has been holding. The Missouri
ans, and especially the Montgomery coun-
ty Missourians, very often come to the
front at perilons places and at trying
times.

FREE GRAM ALCOHOL.


No measure so keenly affecting the
Industrial and agricultural interests Of
the country has been before congress
In long time as that which has re-
Gently been favorably reported by the
house committee on ways and means,
which has in view the removal Of the
tax Of S2o7 per gallon at present levied
on grain alcohol. At first thought this
may not seem to the average reader of
especial importance, but it is highly so.
Free alcohol for industrial purposes
will revoIutionize the fuel problem SO
far as internal combustion engines,
lighting and cooking purposes are con-
cerned. Careful estimates which have
been made agree that it can be made
for is cents per gallon, while many
authorities put the cost at less than 10
cents. In view Of the fact that grain
alcohol can be used to good advantage
as a substitute for gasoline In almost
every utility, and as the latter has been
gradually increasing in price, the field
opened up along this line alone will
readily be seen to be one of utmost
Importance. Besides the uses mention-
ed it is absolutely necessary in the
manufacture of smokeless powder, pho
tographic plates, celluloid products,
transparent soaps, ETC., in which uses
it has been practically driven out be-
cause of the very high internal revenue
tax mentioned above, wood alcohol be-
ing used in its place The greatest OBJ
lection which has heretofore existed to
renewal Of the tax on grain alcohol
has been the fear of its use as bev-
erage. This is now entirely removed
by the use of a process whereby alco-
hol of this character is "denatured"
L e., rendered unfit for use as bev-
erage. In this condition it is intensely
nauseous and cannot proftably be re-
distilled. Besides being cheaper than
gasoline alcohol is much safer and can
be made from many products OF the
farm which are now wasted grain
spoiled for feeding purposes, potatoes,
cornstalks in fact, anything that con-
tains sugar and starch. Should the
tax be removed it would result in the
establishment of hundreds Of small
distilleries all through the agricultural
sections of the country, which would
provide close market for the prod
ucts not now probably used and re-
suit in lessening transportation charges
on most excellent and cheap fuel.
Every farmer who reads this article or
has read of the matter elsewhere should
write his congressman and senator
urging a cordial support of the meas

between yourself and those who labor

One of the most idiotic and wicked
political moves of this or any other
age has just been foiled by public
opinion in Ohio. 1t is well known
that the people of that state, grow.
ing weary of the domination Of the
Cox-Dick- Herrick aggregation, rose up
last year in their might and hurled
them from power. Investigations by
the state senate have dragged to light
the stupendous grating of the gang in
Cincinnati partially. 1t could have
been said wholly but for the fact
that the courts interfered with the in,
vestigations. As it is, hundreds Of
thousands of loot have been recovered
to the city and county treasures, and

sr-a HERE fs ono thing hannanjDQ a


TS HERE is one thing happening and
another which the newspapers
Il say is about to happen which
may have far reaching effect on
the politics Of the immediate future
The one now happening is that the IN.
dependent circuit attorney of Boston is
hauling the Massachusetts legislature
over the Goals in a manner never
equaled in this land of the free and
home of the brave. He summoned over
200 members of that body before him
to purge themselves of corruption-a
wholesale performance certainly Tom
Lawson or somebody else charged that
the entire legislature is corrupt, and the
circuit attorney. acting on that hint
has spread bis net to catch all legisla.
tive sinners. But If more than 200 MEM
bers of the legislature OF Massachu-
sets are criminals, people will begin to
inquire what we are coming to. The
chances are that no such number are
guilty; but, upon the theory that where
there is so much smoke there must be
some fire, the circuit attorney may dig
up enough material to turn the politics
of the old Bay State topsy turvy In.
deed, men have made themselves gov
errors with much less to work on than
corruption in the Massachusetts legis-
lature. In that connection it must be
remembered also that politics in Mas
sachusetts is already much disturbed
by reason of the agitation In favor OF
tariff revision. Taken all in all. the
G. O. P. is in bad way In Massachu-
sets.
The thing which the newspapers de-
clare is on the tapis is even more as
tonishing than the foregoing, and that
is that President Roosevelt and Sena-
tor Penrose of Pennsylvania have en-
tered into an alliance offensive and de.
fensive. growing out of the fight to
keep Barnes out of the Washington
postofice. Such an alliance would star
tie the country, for Penrose stands
forth as the personifcation of the worst
sort of machine politics, while the pres
ident has won all his honors as an anti
machinist. Quay's mantle fell on the
Penrose shoulders. 1t appears that be
is too small to wear it. Last year the
Republicans lost the state by 100000.
though they carried it by more than
100000 majority in 1904. This years
spring elections went against them.
That they are badly scared is well
known; hence their desire for Colonel
Roosevelt's help. If he gives it, he will
stun many of his admirers.

Dogs, like a great many other things

when they serve a definite purpose, but
are the worst kind of nuisances when
they miss their calling. Whether owned
in town or country, the dog which is
not trained to do definite things and
whose only mission seems to be to
chase passing teams and bay at the
moon has no plausible excuse for liv-
ing. The best CANNES are admitted to
be spreaders of disease among both an
