One Man Power

We note that Hon. W. It.
aeathman voted against the
Thralls "outlawry" bill which
gave the Governor power to ap-
point twenty five men to sup.
press any lawbreaking in any
county OF the state that might
be reported to him. Mr.. Heath
man showed his good sense in
voting against such a measure.
Why such a bill received so
many Democrat votes in the
House is rather strange. Gov.
Folk has gone to seed on cen
trdlized power" When he was
a candidate for Governor he
came out strong for home rule
or for local self government,
but now he seems to want all
power centralized in the Gov
ernor. Missouri never had a
Governor that recommended
laws tending to Capitalization
as has Folk.-Runtsville Her

Convert Negroes

JUSTICE David j. Brewer. of
the lUuited I. States supreme
court, told the congregation in
the Broadway Tabernacle yes
terday that in his opinion relig-
ion was the principal factor by
which the negroes of the south
could be converted into a valu-
able asset of the nation. 1--WE
know that there is ignorance,
criminality and immo rality
among the negroes" he said,
land it remains with us to
change present conditions so
that the negro will become a
helpful factor in our civilization
and progress l believe that
there is a divine providence
which will so shape our history
and the negro will be helpIul
factor. We must all assist in
bringing about this end. Indus.
trial development, cleanliness,
education and other benevolent
and useful things are good for
the negro, but 1 believe nothing
will help him so much as the in
fuence of the cross of Christ
and that nothing will move him
to become . good and useful
citizen so much as the gospel OF
the Prince of Peace"

do some marketing and trading.
When near the old Hanley
House, the horse took fright at
a locomotive and backing, lock-
