Inc old scale provided for a mimi

knows the David and Jonathan re-
lationship between Mr.. Clark and
Mr.. Ball; two truer and closer
friends perhaps never lived than
these two men. Dave Ball is well
and favorably known all over the
State, and has some very strong
friends in every county who will
stand by him faithfully. They like
his democratic ways and admire his
recognized ability as a lawyer aud
incompatible campaigner. He has
some claims on the party for the
efficient work he has done, and if
nominated would be elected as cas-
lily as any other man mentioned;
yet considering the present polit-
zeal condition, does it not seem
that if Champ Clark will sacrifice
his congressional position and be.
come a candidate, and the only
Democratic candidate for Governor,
every possible chance for defeat
will be removed? Mr.. Balls sug.
gestion will strike the average
Democrat as very generous at
titude as well rs one emineDtly
loyal to his party, one that places
party success and the triumph of
Democratic principles above per-
sonal ambition.
THE TINES has heretofore sug.
gested that in its opinion Champ
Clark would make the strongest
aud most available candidate for
Governor that the Democrats could
name, and this without prejudice
to any of the honorable men who
have been mentioned in this CON
nectiou. The suggestion had in !
view only the success of the party |
in the State. Mr.. Clark is in no
way involved in the fractional feel
ing in the party, and his eminent |
ability and fitness for the place
would rally the enthusiastic sup.
port of every working Democrat.

L. T. Cooper, the man who believes
that 80 per cent. OF all Ill health OF
this generation is caused by stomach
trouble. 10 fast winning national
faith in his theory. His claim Is now
admitted by surprising number Of
people throughout the country. and he
is gaining new adherents every day.
While speaking of his success in q
recent interview, Mr.. Cooper said: II

who could produce formula that
would thoroughly regulate the stom-
ach would have a fortune. When

IN HIS FAVOR
Cooper Fought to Retain Formula Which
Has Made Fortune.

Among statements obtained recently
from users of this medicine that is
arousing such universal discussion H.
one from Mrs. Emma Stanley, living
In Chicago, at 713 Washington Boule-
ward, who said: Perhaps | had the
most complicated case that Mr.. Cooper
had to deal with | was troubled for
years with my ctomaoh. consulted
with doctors and took many patent
medicine preparations without result.
My stomach was In such wretched
shape that / could not enjoy a meal

II was very nervous, and could
hardly sleep: / haG q roaring in my
ears and dancing spots before my eyes.
felt very bad and weak. Then there
was g. very sore spot at the pit of my
stomach that nearly set me wild.
II heard about the Cooper medicine
and decided to try It. used four bot
ties, and the improvement In my case
has been really wonderful. My nerves
have been quieted, and I am so much
improved that ! feel Like new wo-
man.
II cannot say too much for these
wonderful remedies, for they have
made me well.'
We sell the Cooper medicines
and consider them well worth trial
by any one afflicted with chronic stom-
ach trouble and Its attendant diseases.

The Non Catholic Lectures.

The lectures which are being giyer
by Fathers Randall aud Crane in tht
Opera House this week have proven
instructive and interesting. They have
! spoken on "The Divinity of Christ, -
ais One Religion as Good rs Another, -
aud have been attentively listened to.
"Clearng the Way" was given to IT,
moving common misapprehensions re-
gardng Catholic droctrine and prac-
tice.
A large audience greeted the lee.
turers Monday, Tuesday and Wedncs.
day nights and the attendance is con.
tinually growing. The "Qucs,ion
Box is being literally patroni2ed,
and the questions asked manifest a
fairly good acquaintance with Catbo-
LEFTY.
The meetings have proven highly
educational, but have also been u real
source of pleasure, and this has been
largely augmented by the kind assis-
lance rendered by the choir members
of the various congregations of the city.
The Presbyterian Quartet sang three
hymns Monday evening. This Quartz,
is well known for its artistic devotional
singing. The members are: Messrs.

THE GOVERNORSHIP.

There is little stir Just TOW in
the Democratic camp over who
would be the most available man to
nominate for Governor, aud the
situation may be said to be
little complicated. There are many
good men who have been named in
this connection. and all of them
have some strong elements that
commend them, At present there
are three we'll known Democrats
who are pronounced candidates.
Hon. David A. Ball of Pike county,
eX-Congressman W. :. Cowherd
Of Kansas City, and former Attor-
ney General Edward Grow. An
other pronounced candidate, who
for some time has been urging his
claims through his paper, is
Representative IL. F. Staple. law
yer, farmer and editor Of the Atch-
ison County Mail. There are
others who may get into the con.
test, among them Hon. w. ID.
Nandiver of Cape Girardeau, pres.
ent State Insurance Commissioner,
aud Judge James l.. Fort of Stod-
dard county, Judge OF the Twenty
second judicial Circuit.
There is Il prevalent opinion,
also, which seems to be crystaliz-
ing among large number of
thinking Democrats, that Congress
man Champ Clark of Pike county,
should allow his name to be SUBJ
United as a candidate for Governor.
The question as to whether Mr..
CLARK should run, or more properly
speaking, allow himself to be forced
into the race, was submitted to Mr..
Bah the other day while he was in
st. Louis. Mr.. Ball and Mr..
Clark are both from Pike county,
and he promptly replied: If all
the other candidates will agree to
withdraw from the race for Cover
nor and let Champ Clark have the
field to himself, / will be the first
one to get out, and MIR. Clark will
be elected by a record breaking |
majority"

Light More Light

This important question is receiving
the attention of our citizens with In.
creased interest, and 1t is to be hoped
tho town aldermen will carefully con.
slider the matter in making new con-
tracts. Pennington is no longer n
village for which few corner street
lights only are required. 1t has i'm
proved more in the last few years than
any town OF its size 10 the State. Lpok
at the miles and miles Of granitoid
pavements, not only on the main street
through town bu. all over 10 different
parts. See the tracks on which the
electric cars run, which have been
such an important factor in the in.
crease of Farmington's population by
hei connection with the great Lead
Belt. There is our telephone system,
connecting more than half dozen
different towns, that gives perfect SER
vice. With these few great advantages
the lighting system has not kept pace,
so therefore it should hurry to catch
up.
Arc lamps ought to be hung at every
corner of the Court House. In add.
ton to this, Columbia street ought to
have arc lights from Lang & Brothers
NJ. 4 NJ. Co. to the NJ. l.. Church,
South, at least. For really effective
illumination these ought to be hung at
every street intersection. This is per
haps the most travelled part of town,
aud we believe ii would be doing the
most good TO the greatest lot of pco-
pie, besides having the effect of setting
off the town to greater advantage, not
only to the dweller therein but to the
visiting public, whose good opinion we
desire.
Or, instead of following out one
street, the arc lamps might be hung at
the intersections, radiating from the
Court House in the several directions.
For the strictly residence sections, the
system of iucandcscent lamps is very
effective, but in our town the lights
are too far apart, and there is no part
OF town which is not growing and be-
ing built up aud is entitled to more
lights. There is no single expenditure
which the city makes which benefits
al! the people as the money spent for
lighting the city.
General street illumination must be
regarded as an absolute necessity and |
essential to the safety of the communi-
of life and limb as well as
property. The Town Board can show |
that ii is progressive and up.to. date by
considering the real needs of the PEG.
pie aud providing for more street light
ug, by both arc and an increased
number of incandesceut lamps. The
citizens not only want them, but they
need them in every ncighborhood.
Then the Town Board will have shown
hut they understand the meaning of
he word PROGRESS.

The past week has been one of
unusual stringency in the financial
world, closely bordering on panic
in New York, but the Secretary of
the Treasury, j. Piermont Morgan,
j d. Rockefeller and a few other
big fnRnciers threw themselves in
10 the breach by furnishing the
banks with S2j 900, 600 or $50,
600, 600 in ready cash, and the
banks began to safeguard them.
selves. by the substitution of clear.
ing house certificates to ward off II
run on their cash reserves. The
banks of ST Louis and other large
cities ut once adopted similar rules
to protect themselves against un-
usua! Withdrawals, which might
result injuriOusly not only to the
banks but to the depositors. 1t is
dOped that the crisis has been
passed and that business will begin
to move along in its regular chan
nels. There is large demand
just now for money to move the
crops, which accounts in some
measure for the stringency in the
big financial centers.

In declaring his expectation to
approve the constitution Of Okla
hOma and issue his proclamation
admitting the new State, President
Roosevelt said: Il do not, how
ever, mean by that, that | endorse
many of the provisions" That is
not surprising, for the Oklahoma
constitution contains a number Of
wholesome provisions emphasizing
the rights Of the people and of the
State to control and regulate their
own local and internal affairs.
This is directly at variance with
President Roosevelts centraliza.
ton policy, which would give an
elastic or doubtful construction to
any provision of the Federal con.
stitution to meet the policy of his
administration, however foreign it
might be to strict Interpretation
of that instrument. His ideas car
ried to their logical conclusion
would construe the most important
provisions of the constitution out
OF existence and make it as unre-
liable and little to be depended
upon as Republican platform.
