A. II. Roby, manager OF the Albint

forced to perform the disagreeable but
necessary duty of emptying his shot
gun into the frame of one Jerry Au
Istin, colored. Said Jerry had imbibeG
an overdose of blind tiger 'tarantuls
rye. which in addition to his usual
quantuln of cocaine-his inseparablt
companion and 'friend" had infiamec
his latent criminality to such an ex,
tent that he felt impelled to extermi
nate the human race and thought Mr..
Roby an ideal subject to start upon.
MIR. Roby's response to his murderous
advances proved most effective de-
terrent, and while Jerry is not dead,
it Is a safe bet that an effective quietus
has been placed upon both his desire
and ability to- sslay, murder or kill his
fellow mortals.

COUNTRY DEMANDS FOLK.

The senatorial contest in Missouri
has become national affair. 1t Is
no longer confined to this state alone.
The people OF the whole country are
watching and wanting to see what
Missouri is going to do in this
matter. And they are counting on
Missouri sending Joseph w. Folk
to the senate.
Mr.. Folk has established his
reputation in such manner that he
has become national figure. And
the voters of Missouri have n right
to be proud of him and they are
right In refusing to turn him down.
The older men of the senate have
formed n combine and thwart the
will of tho younger ones at every
turn. The latter have sworn to break
up this cabal and il is generally
understood that they are counting
on Missouri sending Governor Folk
to the senate and that he will be the
leader in this crusade against an
arbitrary assumption of power.
And when he is elected, he will AZ
once become the leader of the
Democratic side of the chamber.
Bailey of Texas has lost his influ-
ence and the time is ripe for some
young western man to assume this
position. CulbertsOn of Texas is Il
strong man but he is not Folk.
Thus it will he seen that the eyes
Of the whole country are on Mis-
souri, and 1t is expectedthat she will
endorse the man who has made good,
the man who has closed the saloons
Sunday, stoppedracetrack gambling,
stamped out bribery, who stands for
the home and the observance of the
Sabbath, and who has laid down
the principle that q criminal has no
politics, that he is neither Demo-
crat or Republican. This is the man
the country at large expects Mis-
souri, to send to the United States
Senate, the greatest law making body
in the world. VIII she do it? The
electorate of this State never has
retired a man who has been faithful
to his trust and substituted one who
never has established clean record
on anylof the points metioned above.
Again we say, the country atlarge is
that Missouri give the
services OF Joseph w. Folk to the
whole nation. 1t is a call that must
not be denied. Ray County Review.

THE NEW YORK WORLD
COMES OUT FOR BRYAN

New York, Aug. l9.-The World,
which has been one of the most
bitter opponents of Mr.. Bryan and
whose proprietor also owns the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch, practically
comes out for him as against Taft
in an editorial this morning. Under
the caption, Democracy VS.. Plu-
tocracy," the World says:
1--WE are nearing the end Of one
stage of Rooseveltism. Its fruits
are before us. In the name Of false
patriotism they are jingoism, i'm
perialism, extravaganza, plutOcracy
Capitalization. They are violence,
usurpation, panic, depression. They
are contempt for law, contempt for
courts, contempt for Congress, CON
tempt for the Constitution. All
these have been crystalized in the
machine-made and corporation-h-
nanced candidacy OF personally
amiable and excellent proxy.
'The World has sharply disagreed
with Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic
party in the past. With n keen APP
probation of its own responsibility
to the public, The World, confronted
on one side by Rooseveltism and
Roosevelt's proxy and on the other
by Democracy and Mr.. Bryan, has
no hesitation in saying that, within
the limits of true Democracy, the
Democratic ticket Is entitled to the
full Democratic vote"

If you want to get rid of rats, buy
ten cent can of concentrated I've
and sprinkle it in every rat and
mouse run possible. Do this about
twice II year. Rats, it is well known,
frequent moist places beneath floors.
and their feet are always moist. AS
soon as they step on thelye it causes
their feet to burn; they lick thcirfeet,
and there is more burn; ifthey smell
of it, there is more burn, and they
migrate. This has been found far
more effective than traps, dogs, cats,
or poison, and it does swell for mice
