CHAIRMAN NleDRINonAuss NEW PLAN.
Would Separate Committee Election from Nom.
nations and Get Early Start.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

81 Louis sGloDe-Democrat.
| The adoption of new plan for
electing and organizing the new re-
republican state committee. which 10
to direct the 1906 campaign, has been
decided on by State Chairman Med
ringhaus, and will be placed before
the committee at special meeting to
be held in st. Louis March 10. A.
call for the special meeting will be is
sued this week, the object being to get
the new plan before the committee
for approval as quickly as possible.
Instead of naming the new commit
tee and chairman at the state nomin-
ating convention, as has been the GUS
tom, it is proposed to call a special
delegate convention for the sole pur-
pose of electing the committee and
taking up organization affairs. The
tentative date set for this convention
is April 10, allowing thirty days for
the selection of delegates in the coun-
ties.
The move is a new one, and the
outcome will attract much attention,
particularly as it is forecasted that
there will be opposition to its adop-
zion. At headquarters, the new deal
is called the Indiana plan," because
it is patterned after organization
methods in Indiana, where the state
committee is thus elected. Secretary
Mccoy says that the Indiana republi-
cans have the model organization of
the country, when it comes to going
after the votes and carrying doubt
ful state.
The principal advantage of the
special convention, he says, will be to
give the committee an early start and
get the campaign in swing much ear
lier than could be done if the selection
of the committee is left open until the
nominating convention in August.
If the new plan is adopted, the
special convention will be held out in
the state, probably at Jefferson City,
although Hannibal, Sedalia and st.
Joseph are being considered. County
conventions to elect the delegates to
the special convention after the usual
procedure will be ordered and matters
arranged to have the county commit
tees selected by these conventions.
That the move has any bearing ON
Chairman Niedringhaus' plans for re-
naming at the head of the committee
is denied by his supporters. At head
quarters yesterday there was some
talk among the visitors about the OPP
position to Mr.. Niedringhaus having
finally agreed on Wallace Love, of
Kansas City, as their candidate for
he place.

today.
FL. s. johnson has been appointed
county clerk by Governor Folk to fl
out the unexpired term of the late B
, B. Edwards. Mr.. johnson has beer
deputy in the Office for the past three
years.
B. S. Abel, father of Mrs. B. s
Cross, of Laclede, died in Oklahoms
a few days ago. The remains were
brought to this county and buried at
Mt. Olive church in Jackson town,
ship.
w. L. Duncan, of Browning, who
died February 4, was a member Of
the Modern Woodmen of America.
On February 10 the proof of death
was mailed to the head office at Rock
Island, ILL.,, and ten days later his
benefciaries received a check for
$4,000, the full amount of the claim.
This prompt way of doing business is
what has made the Modern Woodmen
the greatest fraternal insurance soci-
ETY. in the world.
Some of the old time Burlington
trainmen, enginemen and switchmen
are feeling a bit nervous just now.
An order recently issued from head
quarters instructs the proper officials
to make close test examination for
seeing and hearing of the employees
indicated above. A wreck occurred
recently on the road, and an investi-
cation revealed the fact that one of
the company's old time engineers, who
was in charge of the train which
caused the wreck, could not see two
car lengths ahead of him. This acci-
dent is thought to have caused this
latest order to be issued.
The people of Laclede are interest
ed in the announcement that Mr..
Walker Whiteside, that talented art
ist, is to be at The DeGraw in Brook
field next Tuesday night, March 9Th,
and past performances assure an
evenings entertainment of rare worth.
Mr.. Whiteside is today one Of the
best known actors in the land; certain
ly his highly artistic rendition of
many exacting roles has entitled him
to some degree of appreciation. His
greatest reputation has been won as
an actor in Shakespearean roles, his
Hamlet" being characterized by
even hypercritical authorities as be-
ing marvelously perfect, and many
have conceded to him the toga Of the
late Edwin Booth. Mr.. Whiteside
has not known failure in any Of his
AS an actor of the roman
tic school, Mr.. Whiteside bids fair to
earn as many encomiums as he did in
his Shakespearean renditions. In
his success of last season, "David Gar
rick's Love-" he will be seen next
Tuesday night. Mr.. Whiteside will
be supported by a superbly efficient
acting company and the production
will be most elaborately staged and
The play is a picturesque
one possessing many merito-
rious qualifications and one which will
easily take rank as the real dramatic
event of the local theatrical season.

place many years ago. before the beet
sugar Industry IN the United states
amounted to anything. At that time
the consumption OF the United states
was only about one and a half mill

The law that has caused the trouble
Is a part Of the general movement TO
separate the affairs of church and
state in France. and TO deprive the
Catholic church OF the support that it
has been receiving from the national
treasury. As IL usual In such cases,
there has arisen a difference of opin-
ion with regard to the ownership OF
some of the property held by the
church for religious uses. SO long as
the church and the state were closely
united the question OF ownership was
not vital one, but under present con-
ditions II is difficult to draw the line
between public property In possession
OF the church, and church property.

Yet even II the French government

changes, but violence on one side or

Opposition to the inventorying OF
church property In France was to be
expected. Naturally both priests and
faithful resent even the provisional
confiscation Of their buildings and
chattels. That this opposition should
reach its most serious form In the
Church of te-Clotilde at Paris Is
again natural but unfortunate. That
parish includes many OF the residences
of the old noblesse II is the appro-
prlnta center of reaction, and its bar.
ring out Of the bailiffs will be laid not
to religious zeal but to anti-republican
bigotry. The law will doubtless take
its course.
