YOUNG Editors.

Juvenile magazines edited and man

and about 80 weekly newspapers run
by boys. All of them appear to be
doing well. In most cases the editor
sets all the type and does his own
hustling for advertising. Some Of the
best weekly newspapers in the coun-
try to-day were first started by boys.

The independent Voter.

Already many OF the Republic
an presses have begun the old
time worn howl here in Missouri
with each general election about
the independent voter. This
howl, however, eliminates only
from the Republican press in
communities that are either
Democratic by a small margin or
else pronounceably so. In such
communities consistency is a
word that has long since been
effaced from Republican die
tionaries. What they are after
is to get their partisans into
Office and they care not what
means they have to take to hood
wink the Indifferent voting public
into casting it's ballots that way.
The Republicans preach the in
dependent doctrine only to their
wavering Democratic friends;
you never heard Of one Republic
an preaching it to another.
In 1904 Folk got some Re
publican votes, simply because
the Republican nominee for gov
ernor was entirely too raw for
the best Of the party to support,
and it is safe to venture that Mr..
Folk never got the single vote Of
any Republican shat ever expect
ed to line up at the pie counter.
Democrats, you viii never live
long enough to hear the last of
how he Republican voters show
ed their independence in 1904 by
boiling their gubernatorial nom
( inee, and likewise if any of you
could double Methuselah's age
you would not be living half long
enough to see a repetition of the
ofense-it was only accidental
and one which the bosses of that
party will look after and see that
tits carefully sidestepped in the
future.
This wall about the indepen-
dent voter casting his ballot for
the man regardless of party
afiliation and most generally
Haunted by the Republicans
would be all right and strictly in
accordance with all of it's claims
for good we're it that the Re
publican party had naught but
heavenly angels in it, buta grab

claimer to that. If either party
was absolutely right there
is no doubt-they can't both be
as long as they have principles
that are Numerically opposed
to each her-what one of
them would soon have to go out
of existence. No party with its
platform is the creation Of one
single brain, but is the best that
the best brains Of the party can
offer and it is foolish to attempt
to offset those principles witt
any single individuality, nc
matter how strong it may be.
AS long as men have brains
and convictions and honesty
there will be partisan issues
If the claim is made thatan issue

Sickness Caused Repentance.
A somewhat amusing tale of an in.
terrupted double elopement is re-
ported from Turin, Italy. Two daugh-
tiers of a Turin merchant who eloped
with two young men and some Of
their fathers money, have been moved
to repentance by s~ea-sickness. They
took ship at Marseilles, but we're 50
terribly i'll that they implored the
captain to put them ashore at the

nearest route home.

Dog Called by Telephone.

Many Bath people think, says the Bath
Anuil, that the most knowing dog in the
State is paddy" the bull owned by DR..
W. E. Rowe of that city. The other even
ing Paddy was looking for the doctor who
happened to be at the Elks' Home. As the
doctor says, Paddy has got his habits
down pretty fine, and so he sauntsred into
a store where the doc generally drops in
during the evening.
About that time the doc called up
on the phone and asked il the dog
was there. On being informed that
he was, he asked that they put the
receiver of the phone to the dogs ear.
This was done and a second later a
familiar whistle came piercing over the
wire. The dog gave one bark and went
for the door 1T was opened for him and in
few seconds Paddy was clamoring for
admission at the Home. The truth of this
story is testified to not only by the dogs
master but by several other trustw orthy
witnesses.

old friends with fresh stories, songs and

The Senate has passed the bill in
ereasing the pay of the enlisted men
of the army an average of 40 per cent.
and the pay officers on graduated
scale of 25 per cent. for the youngest
officers, down to per cent. for lieu
tenant-generals. The. House has passed
a bill which would give the enlisted
men of the army an increase of pay OF
about 27 per cent and it is sincerely
hoped by the administration that the
House will accept the Senate bill, as
the increase is sorely needed by the
officers and men of the army whose
expenses have increased out of all
proportion to their pay.
