!: Tales Worth Telling :


An ambitious writer once secured
permission to photograph some of the
larger animals in the New York ZOO.
Hiring a young German with a large
sized assurance and a medium-sized
camera, he went to the antelope house.
Here the keeper was told what was
wanted and preparations were made to
| photograph Victoria through the bars.
| The keeper however, said Step
right inside, gentlemen" and opened
the door.
In sunny corner Of the yard the
keeper by using main strength secured
Victoria in a pose, but the artist found
trouble in getting adjusted. When he
was ready for a picture Victoria sud
denly began galloping in a circle,
which made the artist despair
Il haven't brought a moving picture
machine here; can't you reason with
her?" he begged.
Well, sir, snap her-snap her while
she's steady" yelled the keeper.
But l don't want to take you on
her head" protested the other man.
The keeper let her go and coolly
lighted cigar and then Victoria stood
still long enough to be taken. An
argument now arose, the artist declar-
ing that one exposure was enough, but
the literary man wished another. Vic
toria, however, quickly convinced
them that they were through by per-
forming a jungle dance across the yard
which terminated Yis-a-Vis with the ar
tist The now quite paralyzed part
ner of this movement refused the
honor and started for the door. But
in the inner room he stumbled over
bale of hay and fell fiat on his face.
On rising to his knees he was dis
mayed to find Victorias nose in close
proximity to his own, and quite col
lapsed. His hat, coat and camera
were brought out by his friend and
both decided that photographing wild
beasts was not such fun as they had
been told.

case now salaciously engaging the
attention of the general public. In
a published statement, one j. Mar
tin Miller, a "secret service agent"
says that he was detailed shy high
officials to work in the interest of
Senator Tom Plat, who had dane
ed to the sirenic music of one Mae
Wood and then refused to pay the
piperess. A government officer,
paid out of the public purse, so de-

borne in upon the reluctant mind.

spiracy"-to steal from the woman

or Interest to Democrats.

the National Democratic Con-
gressional Committee has begun
active operations at its headquar-
ters at Washington, D. G. In adj
dition to it's regular work, it is now
preparing a Campaign handbook
which it hopes to have ready for
distribution by July 1st-two or
three months earlier than hereto
fore.
The Committee is charged with
the duty OF assisting, in every way
possible, the election of a Demo-
cratic Congress. We wish the
active cooperation of every voter
in the United States who believes,
with us, that the election of a
Democratic Congress would great
ly benefit the country. We must
rely upon the people to sustain
our work by giving information as
to local conditions and sug ges-
tons for our guidance.
Each individual can at least aid
US by making a contribution.
Will he not do so and interest
others in helping us, too?
We wish our Campaign hand
book distributed as generally as
possible, and we will furnish a
copy, as soon as published, to
every one who contributes to our

UNDER the heading, "Despot-
ism's Latest Stunt" the st. Louis
Censor prints the following:
Chris Brookmiller was arrested
last Saturday and was forced to lie
in the hot and filthy donjon keep
at the Four Courts for six or seven
hours, or until his friends could
find Judge Taylor and get him
out on bond. And what think
you was the cause of his arrest?
Why, he was heard talking to an
other man about horse racing!
The P.-D., which claims to be
Governor Folks organ, further
reported that Brookmiller was
enlarged with being suspected OF
book making!" 1t may be said
that this is an entirely new charge
in st. Louis, and America, too, for
that matter. But we must expect
new things under the tyranny Of
the Pharisaic Folk. Mulvihill has
been giving some entirely new
and bizarre ways of invading the
most sacred rights of the citizen,
but "charged with being suspect
ed" of a thing is a stunt that l
doubt has been achieved even in
Russia. AS the case is stated by
Folks organ, the man was arrest
ed, though not even suspected OF
an offense. He was just enlarged
with being suspected"

HEARTILY endorse every word
of the following, taken from the
New Madrid Record. James NJ.
Seibert never did a mean or dis
honest act, and some of those
who are now taking "flingsf at
him are unworthy to unloose the
latchets of his shoes:
Hon. James Seibert, late of
Cape Girardeau, has quit politics
and entered the service of the
Missouri Pacific railroad, and the
occasion of his visit to his old
home last week. has called forth
some ungenerous criticism on his
career by Southeast Missouri
newspapers. Some of his friends,
among them the writer, regretted
that he had entered the service of
that great corporation, because
the public would not or could not,
understand why a man ~conspic-
uous for his integrity and fidelity
to his employers, the people
should be offered such employ
ment. The facts are, that great
corporations like the Missouri Pa
cafe, keep a sharp lookout for
men of great ability and unim-
peachable integrity. (The idea
that they fill their high positions
with crooks is absurd.) They
knew Mr.. Seibert's loyalty to the
public service and his splendid
ability, and needed such men and
rs not strange that they were
eager to employ him. He, like
Marshal Ney, could say, he had
fought a hundred battles for the
people whose commission he bore,
but not one against them, and
now, in his old age, having spent
his private fortune and the best
years of his life in the service of
his party, it must strike South
east Missourians as unjust that he
should be branded with infamy
because he accepted a position
with a railroad company in order
to support himself and family. If
he had made the most of his top
portunities'' as a public official he
would now be in a financial con-
dition to spurn railroad employ
ment and, like young Rockefeller,
put in his time lecturing his Sun
day school class on the beauties
of official purity and civic right
%eousness.

whole weeks they boosted of its

wicked from "boot-legging." The

BILE and disreputable. 1t is always

THE closing of the Allegheny
Matt onal Bank last Monday, with
a shortage in its funds of $780,
900, is not ~reassuring, and is quite
a blow to the st. Louis Syndicated
Association of Prosperity Mind
Heaters. l may be a little mixed
in my rendition of the Associa-
tons title-I am getting along in
years, and my memory sometimes
lapses as to names-but the lead
ing tenet of the combination is tru-
ly expressed in it's cognomen, viz:
That if you are gone broke you
a replenish your purse by think
ing you are not broke, if you'll on
ly think so hard enough. But that
an Association, be it ever so ear
nest and fervid, can through faith
replace thirteen hundred thousand
plunks in one heap, is, methinks,
open to question.

hibitionist--and rs such as is en-
titled to a fair and respectful hear
ing for his cause, but this does not
warrant him in his wholesale de-
nunciation of the officers of New

l AM surprised and grieved to
read the following in USUALLY so
true a Democratic paper as the
Kansas City Post;
In the shortest message he has
yet sent 70 the present Congress,
the President calls attention to the
pressing need of immediate legis-
lation as to the suppression of an
archy. He quotes the attorney
generals recommendations for
the passage of drastic measures,
and we must commend the Pres
ident when he says that no paper,
either domestic or foreign, which
prints anarchistic propaganda
should be allowed the mails.
Legislation should be passed at
once authorizing the postmaster
general to exclude such publica-
tons from the mails and the de-
partments and bureaus dealing
with immigration should be en-
powered with more latitude in the
dealing with undesirables.
Where are the State courts and
the ample power the laws give
them to deal with lawlessness of
all kinds? Are the people not to
be trusted with their own protec-
ton, and must we take that duty
from them-lodging it with some
appointive subordinate at Wash
ington against whose dictum there
is no appeal, whose powers are
above and beyond the rules and
restrictions set out by the Consti-
tuition for safety to the citizen,
who, theoretically, cannot other
wise be deprived of his ''life,
liberty and pursuit of happiness?
| abominate these "short cuts" to
justice 80 frequently resorted to
in these days. They are far more
dangerous to the public than the
evils suppressed through them.
The meanest citizen charged with
violation flaw is entitled to a full,
open and fair hearing, and the
verdict Of a jury of his peers.
Star chamber processes are hateful
to liberty and beget tyranny and
oppression. l allude here to the
restriction Of the right to the
mails, only; not to the laws gov
erning the admission of immi-
grants. The latter requires arbi-
trary restriction, and is exclusive
ly a Federal function; but the for
mer ought to be determined in the
good, old, liberty loving, Ameri-
can way.

Judge Evans spoke in FEEDER
icktown last week. The Democrat
tic-NeUs mentioned the fact in a
ten-line paragraph. The Judge
had announced that he would
speak in Fredericktown because
it was one of the towns where the
local paper had been publishing
false statements about him. The
DIN. had nothing to say in answer
to Judge Evans statements re-
garding what had been published
about him and the inference is the
Frederiektown editor admits his
newspaper reports yer not true.
The Democrat eios had charged
on the authority of a Republican
whom Judge Evans had defeated
for office, that the Judge left the
state purposely to avoid an cleo
ton contest in the court. While
in Fredericktown Judge Evans de-
MED the charge and proved it false.
But the Fredericktown editor, af-
ter using his paper to circulate a
falsehood started by a Republican
against a Democratic candidate
for governor, refuses not only to
publish Judge Evans statement
but to even mention in his columns
the fact that the Judge had denied
the characterization CaSh-Book.
The above is on a par with the
the statements made by a major
ity of the Evans organs through
out the state. But in this case we
are inclined to believe that some
one has imposed on the Cash Book
as we hardly think Bro. Mcclure
would willingly misrepresent facts.
Judge Evans had heralded all
over the state what he was going
to do when he arrived in Freder-
town, in regard to the Brown mat
ter. He came; he made the Demo-
cratic Neaus a pleasant call, paid his
bill for some posters this Office had
printed, chatted awhile and never
referred to the Brown question; he
spoke that same night in the court
house and in his speech neithet re-
ferred directly Dr. indirectly to the
Brown matter, or to the Democrat
NewS, Bro, Mcclure, 1--WE will not
refer to you as ''the jackson edi-
tor''); this is the reason why ''the
Fredericktown editor" did not pub
fish Judge Evans statements or
seven mention in his columns the
fact that the Judge had denied
the charges" We will add also
that the silence of Judge Evans on
this matter caused some talk
among his auditors in this city the
next day. The Democrat evS is
for peace at all times, and while
we believe that every statement
made by the Democrat eaDs is
true, we were willing, if Judge
Evans was, to drop the matter,
and this is another reason why the
"Fredericktown editor had moth
ing to say in regard to Judge
Evans statement (Which was never
made in Fredericktown) and deni-
al of the charges. Will the Cash
Book as readily publish this state
ment as it was to publish the OPP
posite to it?-Democrat- NeWs.
