part of this week.
The water melon season is draw.
Ing to close.
As we stated last week that we
would make known to your readers
LOT two especial needs our country
toik are getting along without, so
here goes.
LIST. Our country folk are getting
along without the use Of the tele-
phone, and we will say right here
that telephone system, which will
give the farmer direct conmunica-
ton with his neighbors, his family
physician or his merchant, is one of
the greatest temporal blessings that
man can fall heir to. Why is it
then we are doing without It?
q Sntnn mill l.
always good along without it, SO
guess we can, too.
2nd. A great many of our farm
ers think that to put money into a
telephone line that il would take
them long time TO ever see it's re-
turn.
They do not stop to look at tn e
human side of the matter and con.
slider what a blessing phone sys.
tenn would be to them and their
neighbors, but only look on the
money side of the question. Now.
all of our people are not looking on
the money side, we are glad to say.
as the writer for one land he also has
some splendid neighbors around
him) wants to see mutual phone
system in use all over this county
simply for the good it VII do for
humanity. Now, the way to get TINS
blessing as we see 1t, is for all who
re deeply interested in this work to
get together AT ONCE, form a good,
sound company and have the lines
built and in operation before the
bad weather sets ia. Look on the
human and not on the money side
of the matter and We know 1t will
be built.
The next important need that our
farmers are doing without is coun-
ty fair and stock show.
Some will say what use have we
for county fair and stock show?
lst. We need it mostly for the
enthusiasm it will arouse among our
farmers, thereby causing them to
breed and grow better stock. Some
will say: awe have nothing in
this county that's worth showing"
Let us say TO this class of people.
you never will have any stock worth
showing as long as you talk and
think this way. We believe this
county needs to have a county fair
next year at some public place in the
county. So now, Bro. Farmers,
get your heads and hearts working
in real harmony with each other and
see If we don't have these two preat
needs ere another year passes by.

SOMETIMES the police, main
tanned and paid as guardians of
the public, show themselves the
most lawless body in the city.
They not only assume powers
not given them by the law, but
arrogantly invade the dearest
rights known to the citizen. The
arbitrary arrest without warrant,
son suspicion" the sweating
process, and the "raiding" of
houses quiet and orderly at the
time, are among the most COM
mon usurpations. The closing of
lecture halls before incendiary
speech have been uttered-"on
suspicion" again-or the forbid
ding of free speech on the as
sumption that it may not conduce
to the public good, ought not be
tolerated. The police are the
servants of the public, not the
c~onservators OF its ethics and be-
liefs.

the particular province of the

ness and maintain himself under

where even the greatest intellect
can conceive a story of crime
covering years of duration, with
constantly shifting scenes and
changing characters, and main

detail as to times, places, persons

WE hear it rumored that Sena-
tor j. L. Bradley of st. Francois
County, who is a candidate for
State Auditor, would not abide in
good faith by the result of the pri-
mary for the nomination of a can
didate for United States Senator.
Mr.. Bradley is a holdover Senator
and it is said that if Senator
Stone should be nominated over
Governor Folk Mr.. Bradley might
repeat the Kentucky act. Wheth-
er this is true or not the Senator
should settle this question without
delay. We would like to know
whether as a holdover Senator il
he is called upon to take part in
the election of q United States
Senator he will honestly stand by
and support the result of the sena-
torial primary, no matter who is
nominated. |, for one, belive he
will, but he ought to set the matter
at rest without delay.

On the 14th day OF December
last E. P. Tetwiler arrived in Col
ton, in poor health-coming di-
rect from Newport, Arkansas.
No special alarm was felt over his
condition, and there were hopes
of his ultimate recovery But on
Friday he collapsed and soon
thereafter settled into a comatose
state, in which he fingered until
about S:39 P. M. March 81, 1908,
when he breathed his last, the
cause of death being tuberculosis.
Deceased was born at Ironton,
Missouri, August %, 1868, but had
lived in Arkansas for about seven
teen years.
Relatives of the deceased, in
Guiding his father, two sisters
and two brothers, and a few of
their friends, assembled at 8 P. M.
Wednesday at Swartz's Under
taking Parlors, where a brief SER
vice was held. Mrs. T. A. White
and Miss Edna Syring sang ap-
propriate songs, Mrs. Irwin ac-
companying them on the organ.
Rev. E. L. Mcclellan of the Pres
byterian Church read a few verses
from the Bible, made a prayer
and delivered some consoling re-
marks.
Floral tributes, consisting of
bouquets of carnations and Gala
lilies, contributions of kind
friends, had been laid upon the
casket.
The burial took place at Her

WITH this from the st. Louis
Mirror concerning the editor of the
Chicago Public, every fair. minded
person will agree: "Mr. Louis F.
Post is a master of dignifed dia-
l%ectics, the most thorough and the
most lucid of the e%xpositors in de-
tail of the broad doctrines of Henry
George. His paper is to the men
at the front of political progress to-
day, what the the New York No
tion was to like men just after the
war between the States. AS a
paper devoted to the science of
politics, it is unparalleled. 1t in
culcates a politics of morality,
not of e~xpediency, of altruism not
Of selfishness. Its propaganda
has much of the fervor and lum-
mostly of a religion. Indeed the
depth and breadth of its doctrine
is truly religious, and as such, by
contrast with the politics against
against which it it is a protest,
revolutionary in an evolutionary
way. Mr.. Post is a great, be-
cause he is a sincere editor, and
it is no derogation at all from. the
tribute here paid him to say that
his paper is as Intellectually sat-
isfying, as morally uplifting, as
spiritually stimulating, as it is, be-
cause he is chiefly assisted in his
editorial work by his wife, Alice
Thatcher Post, a woman no less
womanly than advanced. The
Mirror is glad the Public is to con-
tinue, and would say that it hon.
estly wishes that every honest
man in politics in this country
might get the paper for a year.
If they did, there'd be an end of
the rule of dishonest ideas over
honest men in politics of this
country"

OUR President seems of variegat-
ed mood. He, in some instances,
urges the courts to sock it to alleg-
ed malefactors to the limit, and
then some, while at other times he
shakes his big stick threateningly
and expostulates vociferously If
the Congressional probe is WELD
ed too roughly or made to prod too
deep. Vide the case of that Federal
Judge in China, charged with OPP
preston and favoritism, and then

WATCH we'll the Statesman
whose cry is ''the welfare Of the
people;" on this plea he too often
excuses his encroaching upon
their rights. Unhampered by laws
creating special privileges to the
favored few, the many can be en-
trusted to look after their welfare.
Much more insidious and danger
Gus are the assaults upon their
rights.

Mr.. BRYAN made a speech on
the 10th at Chicago to al audience
of over 10000 people, in which he
outlined his view of the issues of
the Presidential campaign. His
talk was Democratic clear through,
and none the less So in discussing
his own candidacy. OF this he
said:
| do not know what the Demo-
cratic convention will do, but do
believe that it ought to do what
the Democrats of the nation ask it
to do. | have never assumed to
decide that / am the only avail
able candidate in the nation. All
| can say is after what | have re-
ceived at the hands of the Demo-
cratic party it has the right to
command me for any service |
can render. All | have suggested
is that the voters of the party and
not the bosses should determine
both the platform and the candi-
date. | insist that it is Democrat
ic not only to instruct but to send
delegates that want to carry out
the instructions. maintain, also,
it is Democratic that when the
people express their wish they are
entitled to voice that desire
through people who harmonic
with the wish. | have also said it
is also Democratic when the par
ty has selected its standard bearer
and has written it's platform that
the party's fight shall be in the
hands of men who want the party
to win.
