Stung by vicious, uncalled for and
insuppOrtable insinuations as to hon
esty and professional standing, print
ed in the organ last evening, Col.
Tom Fitch last night at the big Re-
publican rally at the skating rink
debated on the platform whether he
would make a personal attack upon
Governor Dickerson before his audi
|enee.
He said that he had entered the
campaign with intention to avoid
personalities and had so done In his
dealings with the opposition. course
that had not been appreciated. He
was tempted to depart from the rule
he had made, but after a moments
mediation, the white haired patriot
and pioneer of the early days of the
west dismissed that course with a
gesture more eloquent than words
when pup barks at your heels,
he did say. however. "and its owner
is present YOU rebuke the master and
not the pup. The name of Governor
Dickerson. as proprietor, is at the
head of the paper to which I refer.
Here it was that the speaker paused
TO mediate upon a personal attack
and concluded that il was not worth
while. The big audience eheered
Justify and with a note of kindness
and support ringing through it that
sounded a heart throb Proceeding.
Colonel Fitch said that he had the
right in his old age To seek residence
in that cline which best suited his
health and that he had returned to
Nevada. His legal practice has ex-
/ tended throughout the United States
and involved admission to practice
/ before the supreme courts of II
states, fact that ne thought afford :
ed ample proof of his assertion that
/ he had never broken a pledge. left
an obligation unfulflied or debt
ewiry.
Turning 10 his speech Golonei
Fitch sprung another hot one. He
had heard the speech Of Senator
! NeWlands at Wells. where he had ap-
/ plauded the police bill and the ac-
/ tion of Congressman Bartlett in con
neetion with this bill, for which he
/ lobbied a Carson. and had endorsed
/ the course of Bartlett throughout
which included Endorsement of his eff
forts in having L. s. troops sent tc
/ Goldfield He had thought al the
/ time that Newlands was unnecessar.
| ily eXerting himself but was surpris-
ed 10 learn that he had jumped to
the opposite side OF the argument at
his meeting in Ely on Friday night
lie thought the senator might at least
keep within gun shot of position al
Wells. but evidently he had eonclud-
ed that conditions warranted his
swapping horses In mid stream and
had done SO.
Col Fitch closed his speech and the
meeting with eloquent appeal 10 his
hearers TO vote for continuance o.
Republican principles

HON. WALTER WILLIAMS, editor OF
the Columbia tMol Herald, has been
unanimously chosen dean Of the School
OF Journalism at the Missouri State
University at q salary OF $500 per
year, which will later be Increased to
$4,000. The chair OF journalism at
the University opens q splendid field
for practical usefulness, and no more
experienced and thoroughly equipped
man could have been chosen I or this
important position than Hon. Walter
Williams, who knows all about the
conducting Of q newspaper from edit
tor-in-chief to devil. Mr.. Williams
not only knows about these things,
but has the ability Of imparting TO
others what be SO well knows himself
We regret very much TO lose him from
the activities of Missouri journalism,
but congratulate the University upon
securing bis services. We predict that
the chart OF journalism OF the Mis-
souri, University within a year will
have o national reputation for efficient
and practical results.

Corn Test Was Worth While.

R. L. Smith, Of Greenwich farm In
Nc Creole township, whose seed-corn
testing methods were given a couple
of weeks ago. reports the results of
his work In this particular as being es-
peclally satisfactory.
Out of $50 ears he put to q test by
selecting three kernels from each and
putting the trio OF grains ina sprout-
Ing box between layers of moist saw
dust, ~sixty-eight Of the lot failed to
terminate, and In that way showed
conclusively q lack OF seed qualities in
sixty-eight ears.
Mr.. Smith says all of the ears from
which the grains were taken that did
not sprout, look like good seed speci-
ments and are fully in line with what
a farmer usually picks for planting
purposes, the cob being bright, germs
looking healthy and the ear giving
every appearance OF being well matur-
ed, which proves that all that per
tains to good seed corn cannot be told
By simply selecting the bestlooklng
ears and cracking q kernel between
the teeth to see il the germ is good.
The Smith farm will have 1870 acres
Of corn this season, and every grain
that is used In planting the big
acreage will be put to test before it is
put in the planter box.

THIRTY-FoUR LIVES LOST
IN DISASTER TO TIGER
Torpedo Boat and Cruiser We're
Maneuvering Without Lights
Vessel Sank Quickly

London, April 8 As a result Of the
torpedo boat destroyer Tiger being
cut in two last night BY the cruiser
Berwick, it is officially announced
thirty-four lives we're lost.
Both vessels were maneuvering
without lights at the time Of the
collision. The crew Of the Tiger had
little chance to save themselves,
encountered as they were with heavy
clothing.
The Tiger was cut absolutely in
halves, the Berwick passing clean
through it. 1t was impossible for the
majority of the men who were below
to get on deck before 1t sank, and II
is believed that several Of them were
killed by the force Of the impact.
Lieut.. Middletown, who waS In COM
mand, was on the bridge at the time
and died at his post.
The night was very dark and the
disaster happened in consequence Of
the Tiger attempting to dash past
the Berwick, while the destroyers
were making a practice attack upon
1t. II appears that the after part Of
the Tiger, containing the engines,
remained afloat three minutes, which
enabled those below to scramble on
deck and secure lifebuoys, spars or
oars, by means Of which they kept
themselves afloat. On the fore part
were the commander and the men
who were on deck, most of whom
persisted.

THE legislative stork may bring
another addition to President Roose-
velt's official family, in the person Of
a Secretary OF Transportation and
Public Works. A bill providing for
the creation Of such q department OF
the government has been submitted
20 Congress by Representative Joseph
Z. Ransdeli, Of Louisiana. 1t now is
In the hands Of a committee. The
proposed innovation is one that long
has been recognized as being OF great
importance TO the government Of the
United States. At the present time
there is a complete lack OF logic In
the pursuit Of the policy Of internal
improvements. The forces Of the
government are scattered, and thus
are weakened. Funds are expended
with no reference to the expenditure
OF other funds, and in this manner
there is extravaganza where economy
should rule. There is clash Of auth
GRITTY. also, by reason OF the fact that
so many oficlals have jurisdiction. 1t
is the purpose Of the Ransdell bill to
harmonic all these conflicting
agencies By bringing them under
the supervision and control Of one
Official, who would hold q portfolio in
the cabinet, the work Of internal
development could be pressed syste-

THE Farber Form referring to the
movement, which is spreading all over
the world against intoxication drinks,
editorially says: The temperance
wave now speeding throughout
the county is q most remarkable
thing In the history OF America.
We are brought face to face witha
movement the force and power OF
which laughs at reason and mocks
al resistance. Some one said to
the Forum the other day that this
temperance agitation would dis
rupt the Democratic party in
Missouri. He is q good citizen,
too, and q loyal Democrat. But
he is mistaken. The party is bet
ter founded. To say that the
temperance agitation would dis
rupt 1t is to admit that it is DOM
mated by the saloon element. The
temperance question is not a party
question and you can't make 1t SO.
All parties are lining up for reform
In this direction. In the South
ern States the Democrats are tax
ing the bull by the horns. In the
north the Republicans are In
itiative In securing temperance
legislation. The man who would
stand upon a whisky barrel and
plead for votes ought to be snow
ed under by the party he thinks
he represents. The brewery inter
ests which q few years ago were
conducting their business In de-
lance OF law and order have aban-
doned their attitude OF defiance
and are now begging TO be per-
mitted to live. Ii reform can dis
rupt the Democratic party it
ought to be disrupted. 1t has not
disrupted the party In Georgia,
Alabama, Texas or Oklahoma,
where almost everything that
votes is q Democrat. No,
brother, IL is not o party question.
Our homes are better of without

Supposed Dead, Comes to Life in
Courtroom


Peoria, ILL.,, April 5.--"You say your
first husband, James Ellison, is dead?''
Attorney We'll asked Mrs. William
Gray on the witness stand to-day.
Eyes, sir, he is dead" answered
she.
"Then l will ask you to turn and
look at the man standing beside you
and tell this jury whether or not he
is your husband
HE Is not my husband" she re-
piled.
The stranger pleaded mutelY to his
wife, whom he had not seen for 20
years, for recognition. A vague recol-
lection dawned In her eyes, and her
denials Of his identity grew hesitat-
ing under the attorneys urging. He
then obtained permission for the wit
ness, Ellison and their two daughters
to retire from the room. In ten
minutes the woman returned, acknow-
lodged the relationship which had
been severed q fifth Of a century.
The case, which was a suit against
the Mutual Life Insurance Co. for
$500 on a policy on Ellison's life, was
dismissed. Ellison then kissed his
good-by and again vanished
from their lives.

I. n WHIT Associate Editor

In Ia said that the president will In
a few Gays send another special mes
sage to- Congress advising special legis-
lation for she suppression Of anarchy.
There Is no doubt that be is 10 earnest
Ia this matter. Attorney General
Bonsparte following instructions given
him some days ago Is making careful
Investigation 10 find II there is sum-
Giant law TO enable the executive
branch OF the Government 10 suppress
anarchy and he has come to the CON
clusion that further enactment Is
necessary. Meanwhile Federal au-
thorities have been instructed 10 90
operate with state authorities in an
effort to drive the anarchists across
the sea. Those who have been In the
country less than three years may be
ueported under existing laws. Those
who are American by naturalization
will be closely watched and informa-
ton IS TO their whereabouts will be
kept on file and other Governments
will be informed as to their move
ments. The circulation of anarchis-
tic literature by mail will be IL posi-
BILE prevented and those who issue
literature will be prosecuted. Anar-
chy is not indigenous to this country.
IL will be found that every anarchist
has a foreign name and in nearly every
instance is an immigrant 1t is said
that If Congress will grant the neces-
sary authority the President will
make treaties with these European
states which will result in an inter
national movement against these as
sasins not only OF men, OF kings and
OF Presidents, but OF orderly COVER
ment. Joint action against anarchists
was proposed by Germany and Russia
al the time Of the assassination OF
President Mckinley. They stated
that the murder of President McKln
ley with the attempts upon the lives
OF rulers which had been committed In
recent years made it plain that ..
struggle against anarchy wa urgent
upon all governments and that unless
this movement could be made inter
national it would fail Of effective

Jet gthat In my judgment Judge
Evans desired the election OF the en-,

ance against his management what
ever. Only within the last few weeks

so desires.
"As for the allegation that l said !

and that / refused TO accept aid for
myself from the State COMMITTEES, the
allegation is so absurd as to scarcely
need mentioning. Ny close personal
friends will recall that i was not at
all sanguine of the election OF either
Captain Allen or myself, although l
did not think the remainder of the
ticket would be defeated. We had had
twelve months Of bitter factional
fighting, and the wonder is under all
the circumstances that we we're not
defeated worse than we were

for the first time that the State Com
mittee had an unexpended balance Of

their assessments in full, and asked
that those Of US who had paid be re-

ance, which was subsequently done.

Judge W. N. Evans, chairman OF

between them at The Southern Hotel
last night.
Mr., Rubey Is an adherent OF United
States Senator Stone and Is supporting
W. s. CowheEd OF Kansas City for the
nomination for Governor.
1.-THE fact that Mr.. Rubey is not for
me or Gov. Folk is one Of the reasons
why l selected him for the yIce-chair-
manship," said Judge Evans TO q
Post Dispatch reporter.
II am satisfied that Mr.. Rubey will
be fair to all sides, and l concede that
the opposition has as much right to q
voice 10 the executive management OF
the State Central Committee as l or
any OF Gov. Folks friends.
while Mr.. Rubey is virtually to
act In my place, 1t can be stated that
/ have not surrended the authority
which the Craftsmanship confers on
me, and that l shall not resign that
ONCE until after the meeting OF the
State Committee at Jefferson City,
May 49,"
Mr.. Rubey said: 81 expect to admin
lister the affairs OF the party In the in
terest OF all candidates. OF course, 1
have my personal preferences, but
they will not alter in the least my
course as chairman"
