1000 Years ago.

In jurisprudence the ancient
Egyptians, il some ways, excelled
Us. They permitted women to
earn property and onn It ia their
own right. They allowed women,
10 the absence Of male progeny, to
become reignino queens. They
gave to women the right to teach,
to preach or make a living in any
honorable manner. A Judge who
condemned an Innocent Elaa, Or
one who allowed a clearly guilty
one TO escape UNPUBLISHED, was
held as Il criminal before the law.
Interest on debt WIS never al
lowed to exceed the principal.
There was no in,r!sonmen. for
debt. Not 10 pay debt was to be
excluded from burial ia The family
plot. and the consequent disgrace
| that followed such exclusion. Any
one. even a convict, conld bring
charge against Il dead person aud,
If the charge WxEsustalned, decent
burial WAS forbidden until his
friends righted the wrong. This
applied to kings rs we'll as to the
common people. Deserters were
punished with disgrace and not
With death. Women were pro-
tected from molesiation by the
most severe penalties. Doctors
who proclaimed the discovery of
some wonderful cure were held re
ispousible for the effects produced
by that cure and. if death resulted
from lis use, the doctor, or qnack,
had to follow bis victim to the

Canada Thistle in Oats.

The prevalence of Canada thistle
in oats this J ear is really alarming.
A neighbor OF mine had as fine a
field Of oats as ! haze seen this
year. The variety is the Lin
coIn,' for which he paid u cents
q 5ushel for the seed last snrine.
The grain was stacked without a
drop Of rain, and the whole crop
was largely sought after for seed
for next season. But C.nada this
ties have ruined the whole crop,
50 far as being fit for seed. The
:histIes seeded with the cats and
are now bound with lI]e bundles.
The whole trouble came from Il
small patch in one part Of the field.
Instead Of going after them last
season and keeping them down,
they were allowed to spread, until
now 10! only this field. bit other
fields Of the farm, are sure to be
Infested. Some carefu! work last
year, even losing the crops grow
iug on the spots invaded by the
lhis;!es. would have made differ
erce Of 500 in the value of this
cue oat crop, to say nothing abnu;
the work it will take TO kill out
the nest.

Where Bryan Got His Money.

1t is almost incredible, but Mr..
Bryan has outlined the paramount
ISSUES for next year and has been
silent as to Government ownership
and the referendum.
A little more than year ago he
said on the subject Of ownership
that no convention could supply
him with the principles. He would
favor the purchase of the railroads
no matter what his party though,
about it. As to the referendum,
he would drive out of the Demo
cratic organization the man who
opposed it.
1t is u far cry from heroic full
minations of this character to the
hackneyed issues outlined by him
in New York, which are:
The trusts, railroad regulation,
swollen fortunes, the purifcatlun
of politics ty prohibiting coniribn
tions to campaign funds by cor
porations dciug un interstate bust
ness, the keeping open to public
inspection ''beforc election, rather
than after election" the books show
ing the names Of campaign con
tributors and the amounts contrib
uted, and reform Of the tariff along
the lines of tariff fer revenue only.
| Inasmuch as campaign contribu
tions are thus TO be an importan,
feature of the next years discus
sion, it is surprising that Mr..
Bryan confined his prohibition te
corporations doing an interstate
business. There are other ob,ec-
tionable sources which should aIst
be closed to parties and candidates.
For example, what would MIR
Bryan himself have done IN lS9t
and 1900 without the beneyolence,

Wall Street subsists on suckers
and when the latter are not biting
Wall Street must subsist upon it.
Sel5, and when such a condition
prevails there there is ''panic'
in Wall Street. These panics are
beginning to be looked upon with
suspicion by the people, who are
becoming less disposed to fly off
at a tangent into period Of hard
tunes whenever the supply OF
suckers in Wall Street grows
scarce. The material welfare Of

The prohibition wave that has
swept over the south in recent
years has evidently swept into
Missouri also and with this swelling
tide Of sentiment against the liquor
traf6c we may soon expect to see
state prohibition here. This re
suit is not due to a passing spasm
of temperance fanaticism or a
''holier than thou disposition OH
part of the anti'liquorites to en-
croach upon the personal privi-
lsges Of their neighbors with ''blue
laws" but it is the outcome of q
