Make a Strong Ticket.

The Herald's insistence upon
strengthening the state ticket has
brought quick and approving com.
ment from the democratic press and
people. With Mr.. Cowherd the dem.
ocratic nominee for governor, the
head OF the ticket will be strong and
worthy. But the other and so-called
minor position on the ticket should
be filled by the strongest available
democrats. The Offices OF lieutenant
governor, auditor, attorney general,
treasurer and secretary OF state
should receive special attention,
Candidates who are honest, capable
and we'll qualified, ought to be noml'
mated for these positions. Particu
lsrly is this true in the presidential
election year when the republicans
will make q strenuous effort to carry
the state and will place their best
men In the field. The dem ocratiC
party should not make the serious
mistake Of weakening the state ticket
by the nominees upon 1t other thar
governor.-Columbia Herald.

Gun Bursts on the Missouri.

Washington, March 80 During
target practice Saturday at Magda-
lena Bay 140 inches Of the muzzle OF
one OF the six inch broadside guns OF
the bsttleship Missouri blew OFF.
The fracture was a clean one. Prac-
tice was continued and the gun will
be replaced by new one from the
Washington Navy Yard. No one
was injured.
The appearance OF the metal after
the gun was broken did not indicate
any flaw, yet naval officers say that
al examination OF the broken parts
will be necessary before that ques-
ton can be definitely settled.
The gun was made at the Washing.
ton Navy Yard in 1892 from metal
furnished by one Of the producing
firms. 1t was an early design OF
power gun, and 1t was not hooped to
the muzzle as is the case with theI
6 inch guns now produced. The gdn
at the point where the break occurred,
over eight feet from the chamber,
had strength OF thirteen tons. It
had, In December, 1907, been fired
113 rounds, and on original proof
had sustained chamber pressure as
high as twenty tons.
