Bob White is Correct

The country newspapers in Missouri
are conducted along business lines and
aren't run as adjuncts to politicians
or to air the opinions Of faction. The
newspapers Of Missouri are not OBJ
jects OF charity, but the proprietors
and editors charge cash and pay cash,
and are always found among the most
active and liberal supporters Of every
public interest. People subscribe for
newspapers because they are worth
the money.-Meyico (Mo) Ledger.
Right you are, Bob, a sensible news
paper keeps its nose out OF other folks
business. The time has passed when
! you can run to a newspaper Office and
work the editor to tear his shirt to
make a fight that you wouldn't dare
to be known In. The MlsSourian is a
news and comment publication but 1t
is not making anybody's fight against
anybody else, is not opposing any legi-
innate business enterprise, Is not try
ing to work anybody and don't aim to
get worked.
IL you have any proposition to pre-
sent to the public that is Of personal
and business value 10 you the correct
way is TO write out your statement OF
facts and have the same printed at
regular commercial rates. The Mexi-
co Ledger man knows what he is talk
ing about, and The Missourian takes
this means Of endorsing his correct
stand.-Richmond MissQurian.

MIss0URrs SNAKE
WOMAN DEAD.

Gillian, Mo-, May 1.-The death O,
a woman "a years old, near New Frank.
lin, a small town six miles from here
on the Missouri river, recently
brought TO an end one OF the most ~.
markable cases OF prenatal influence
that has eve been recorded in the
state.
The woman, Mary Elliott, was the
daughter OF well-to-do family, and
was the only one OF several children TO
be In any respect out OF the ordinary.
Since birth the unfortunate woman
has never been able TO lie on her back
and has never talked a word. In prac.
tically every characteristic she rese N
bled a snake, and for years has been
known as the SNAKE woman from
New Frankfort. There was very
II tile flesh on her body. Her arms
and limbs we're practically nothing
but Ibone covered with skin. Her
body was much longer than that Of
the average person and very slim. Her
tongue was extremely long and slend-
er. When angry she would protrude
her tongue and hiss after the manner
OF a snake. Her eyes had little resem-
blance 10 the human organs, they
were small and exceedingly snake
like and glaring.
Although the woman was never able
to talk, she seemed TO understand
what vas said about.her. THE know
ledgelof the young woman's deformitY
wasiwell known In the community In
which her parents lived, but very
few persons were allowed TO see her.
When a child she was taken to some
of the best physicians In the state in
hopes that something might be done
to benefit her. This hope was aband-
oned years ago, however, when doctors
conceded that her condition was be-
Yond surgical or medical aid. Since
that time everything has been done
to make the girls existence as pleas
ant as possible and to keep from the
world the revolving features OF her
deformity.

MISS ROBINSON AND
THE LION AND THE MOUSE

A LEDGER representative was in
MOberly, Tuesday evening, to witness
q performance OF Chas. Kleines famous
play, The Lion and The Mouse. Be.
sides the pleasure OF seeing a Mexico
girl in the cast, Miss Nellie Robinson,
and witnessing one OF the dramatic
successes OF the decade we especially
enjoyed the liberal patronage the
Halloran theatre is accorded by the
people OF Moberly. Manager Halloran,
has a little play house that he should
be proud OF and the success he is
meeting with stamps him as a good
business man and popular citizen.
Miss Robinson has a minor role ia
the play but her portrayal OF the vii
lage bankers daughter in all her bu.
collie FRESHNESS is a clever piece OF act
ing and evidences the fact that she
is rapidly reaping the benefits Of ex-
p%erience and blossomine into a very
finished histrion. The company is a
superb one aud in every particular
the production most complete.
A number from this city we're in
Moberfy to witness performance. Miss
Robinson win be home In five weeks to
spend the summer.

SECRETARY WILSON Of the Depart.
ment Of Agriculture. mas been Coins
among the colleges ard telling Of the
things his department has done and
Is doing for the farmer, chief among
them the investigation It has been
making Of the Possibilities OF alcohol
as 3 source CT light heat and power.
The Secretary may be pardoned per
haps for footing a little on bis own
trumpet He has developed the De.
partment OF Agriculture into one OF
the most important departments Of
the government because it deals with
50 many subjects that come closely In
touch with the daily life Of the PEG
pie. He is enthusiastic about the
possibilities Of alcohol and his enthu-
siasm is worthy Of consideration be-
cause Of the things he has accomplish
ed In the past. He points out that
the end Of the wood supply as fuel is
more than In sight and the end Of the
coal supply does not need an opera
glass to distinguish it. But alcohol
he holds can and will be produced by
the farmer from his surplus crops and
from crops raised especially for the
purpose. He says that without i'm
poyerishing the farms, for alcohol is
not a fertilizer, the farmer can pro-
duce enough alcohol to ward of cold
and starvation from the country for
an indefinite period. All OF this is
cheering new fer the farmer and
equally good for the people at large.

TsfDcf fOfumL
Judge J. ID. Sutton, member of tn,
County Court from the Eastern Dis
trict, when questioned in regard K
the article published elsewhere In re
gard to the County Farm, says it is {
fact that the conditions at the farm

so bad as the parson suggests. Mr.
Sutton says there are four or five In.
mates at the farm that are mentally
unsound and that application has al.
ready been made for their transfer tc
the home for the feeble minded al
Marshall. The farm consists Of about
100 acres and it is the intention Of the
Court to sell all but about rs acres
and use the proceeds in putting up
new buildings and In making sanitary
improvements. Mr.. Sutton fully real
ICES the conditions at the farm, hay-
ing personally inspected the same, and
tells the Forum that the contemplate
ed changes and improvements will be
made at the earliest date possible.

der federal supervision skin In many
ways 70 the federal system Of irriga-
tion nov being put into practice In
the west. 1t is an immense work and
one OF far reaching importance. An
encouraging fact In connection with II
is that the commission is trying u
settle on q general plan Of develop
ment free from any faint OF political
influence. And the best guarantee
that such q system eventually will be
worked out Is to be found in the fact
that the men Of the commission al
most without exception are big enough
and honest enough TO be beyond the
reach Of petty local or political con
