We lave before us the first issue
of Winchester's new daily, The
News, and its appearance is most
creditable. If the News can get a
patronage sufficient for half the size
of its first issue, and if IL can give
the people who patronize it half the
local and general news its first issue
has, it will be an unqualified sue
cess. The News is a well edited
and well printed country newspap-
er, comparing favorably With many
country dallies in towns twice as
large as Winchester. Its editors
announce that it will be Independ-
.ent in politics, which is another
feature in its favor. 1t is up to the
people in Winchester, Clark county,
and other counties in close proxim-
ity to Clark to say whether it shall
prove good thing, not alone for
its owners, but for the whole coun-
try about Winchester. - Grant

RACING COMMISSION.

The managers of the Latonia race
track have forced the issue. They
have announced that they propose
to pit The bool1makers back on the
tract. They say the pari-mutual
system Of betting has not proved
successful and that their track can
NOT he conducted without betting
with Ire bookmakers.

ried out. it will then be up to the
Racin:, Commission to see that these
rules a;e enforced or The commission
from which so much was hoped in
the way Of Kidding race track gam
bling cf its worst features. will be
useless.
There can be but ore opinion
among men who are Interested In the
moral welfare of the State as to the
stanl of the Latonia people. There
has been strong sentiment against
gamLinG on the horses. This has
resulted in the bills passed by the
New Y,rk and Louisiana Legislat-
ures forbidding all betting. There is
also said to be on loot a strong
movement in California to suppress
the tracks.
The evils of the tracks and the
many evil results produced by book
making have already driven racing
from Chicago. And unless The horse
men Of this State are wise, it will
have the same effect nero.

against all racing at the time the
Legislature passed the act crea ting

done Gmch to elevate the sport and
to do away with some Of the worst

visit Saturday morning. He
sees no cloud on the horizon of

GOLFERS AGAIN

1t occasions no surprise that
Golfers Weekly comes out this
weekin support of Herbert s..
Hadley. Golfers is in New
York and its editor knows very
little of the true conditions in
Missouri; but that does not pre-
vent it from trying to run this
state. The stand it takes is ex-
actly that of the Kansas City
Star-Folk for Senator, Hadley
for Governor. The fact that the
election of one would practically
mean the defeat of the other
does not worry Golfers. 1t re-
peats the claims of the State Re-
publican platform as magni6-
cent truths and points out Cow
herd as "one OF the Old Guard,
who, in all of his public service,
has made a record that is alb
solutely negligible"
Golfers is an easy mark. If
a man goes about his good work
in a dignifed, transformations
manner his record is cited as alb
solutely negligible, while if he
makes a big hullabaloo about
what he is going to do and gets
his name and pictures in the
magazines it is taken for granted
that he has made good. Col
lier's is against the plodder, the
unselfsh man, the modest work.

STILL CRYING FRAUD

The Kansas City Star is work
ing itself up to frantic indigna-
ton at Cowherd whose nomina-
ton, it declares, was tainted
with fraud while Hadley's was
absolutely pure. And it ex-
presses wonder as to how Mr..
Cowherd can square himself
with the public for his crooked
nomination. The fact that the
Democratic nominee has made
comprehensive and sufficient an
swers to all fraud charges does
not worry the Star in the least.
1t will be remembered that
during the recent municipal cam
paign in Kansas City, the Star
in printing the Democratic plat
form omitted one of the most
important planks and repeatedly
scored the Democrats for not
having such a plank initheir plat
form. Just so now thei Star is
trying to make its readers be-
lieve that Mr.. Cowherd received
his nomination by fraud and
that he is afraid or unable to
make any answer to the charge.
The Star has an enormous
circulation. There are still a
great many people who get all
their ideas in politics from it,
and more who doubt it's SINGER
ity in editorials and yet believe
it's political news stories. But
no longer can the Star carry a
Missouri election. The real
Democrats understand it and
vote according to their own de-
sires.

Missouri Wheat Yield for 1908.

The Secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture has just
finished tabulating the yield of
the wheat harvest for 1908.
The average yield per acer for
this crop is 1917 bushel, the
lowest average yield for five
years. The ten-year average
for the state is 1876 bushels.
The cause for the low yield this
year is to much rain, rust, and
overflow. The largest product
for any county is that of St.
Charles, producing $4,000 bu-
shells. Ten counties in the State
produced more than a half-mil-
lion bushels, namely: st. Char.
les, Franklin, Pike, Lafayette.
Platte, Cooper, Lincoln, st.
Louis, Scott and Saline.
The total yield for the state
this year is 2O,6s4, 900 bushels as
compared WIN 1880, 900 bu-
shells in 1906.
The average consumption o.
wheat per capita, including that
used for seed, is about five bu
shells; so Missouri has pro
duced between three and foul
million bushels more than wha'
