Don't Live at Home.

An illinois newspaper contains the fol-
lowing:
"The average Illinois citizen imagines
that he lives at home but he doesn't.
He gets up in the morning and puts on
his socks made in New York, shoes made
in Boston, pants made in Ohio, then
slips a pair of Connecticut suspenders
over his shoulders.
HE dips some water from a Missouri
bucket with Chicago dipper, and puts
it an Indiana washpan and washes his
Illinois face, with a cake Of Illinois soap.
He dries his face with a Rhode Island

from an Indiana cup and saucer, sweet

EVERY once in a while you hear
people say they don't like a newspa-
per that is full of advertisements.
They don't stop to think that if it
were not for the advertising the aver
age weekly newspaper could not be
put out to the people for less than
$500 per year. OF course news
should never be sacrificed to adver-
tising, and it should be the policy Of
the management Of newspaper to
back up a heavy run of advertising
with supplement which will pre-
serve the equilibrium between the
two features. Again, the advertising
of newspaper should be, and is, Of
interest to all intelligent readers. II

Bryan's Queer Friends.

Mr.. William J. Bryan, in this pa
per's opinion, is decent, honest man
with high courage and strong convic-
tions, and for this reason it is impos-
sible to repress surprise at the sort Of
people in Missouri with whom he is
on terms Of intimacy. His friends in
other states may belong to what we
know as the ''better- element" but in
Missouri his intimates are taken from
circles that the people view with dis
trust and suspicion.
Both in St. Louis and Kansas City
and through the state, too, Mr.. Bry'
ans closest friends are men whose
regulations have been badly smirched
and who are notoriously allied with
the enemies OF good government.
Senator Stone is Bryan's greatest in
innate in all Missouri, and everybody
remembers the baking powder scan
dal and the reek arising from expos
ure of the Missouri Health Society.
Next to Stone comes Harry Hawes
lobbyist for every notorious gambling
combination in the state, and dis
credited Democrat. And then ther,
is Dockery, who, while many shade
lighter than the others, is neverthe
less an epitome of "ring rule" an,
"machine domination"
Mr.. Bryan has many sincere wei
wishers in Missouri-but they canno
reconcile his principles with hi
friends.-The Independent.

anyway, and from our experience i,
is about right. The Leader is still
standing pat on shot air. and has
its trap set to catch 'em a-comin' an

squarely for the prohibition of the

Game Can Be Sold Where Killed In
County.

There seems to be some misunderstand-
ing with regard to the new game law in
connection with game killed. Under the
old Walmsley law no game could be sold
but under the provisions of the new law
game killed in one county may be sold in
it. But game killed in another county
can not be taken into another county
and placed on the market.
Already the grocers Of this city are
placing game OH the market that has
been killed in this county. There is a
severe penalty, however, for importing
game into the county for market pur
