Mr.. Thomas W. Martin Of Liberty

candidate for Assessor. Mr.. Martin
has been II resident of this county
for about forty years, having come
here when boy In his younger
days he taught school and farmcd,
and is now one of the substantial
farmers Of tia" county ms well ms
one Of its best citizens. He has al
ways been an active, working Dem
ocrat, but has never asked for Of
flee before. Reliable and trustworthy
in every way as n man and well
qualified for the responsible Office
for which he asks, he would, II nom
mated and elected, make an efficient
Assessor.

Voters of Missouri at the next
general election will be called upon
to vote for an amendment to the
State Constitution involving the
initiative and referendum in mat
tiers of legislation The people
ought to give this principle thought
and vote it into our constitution.
1t places in their hands the power
to veto any vicious law that Leg.
islatsre might enact against their
interests. And it also gives them
the power to initiate any legisla-
ton which they feel should be
enacted and which the Legislature
may ignore. In short it brings
representative government closer
to the people, and safeguards them
against vicious and unwise legisla-
ton.

State banking law; but with CAPT
tallstlc and big banking interests
dominating Our Republican Con
gress and the Republican party
leaders, such legislation has no
show whatever OF getting through
our national legislative body. If
the State Legislatures would pass
laws requiring all State banks to
guarantee drposltors in the manner
outlined by Mr.. Bryan, and which
we have heretofore published, it
would make the State banks so
solid, and sound that depostors
would naturally make their de-
pOsits with them i'll preference
to national banks, without such
guarantee, and possibly force the
big national banks to ask Congress
for some such legislation as the
Williams bill. Is there any good
reason why depositors, who fur
nish the capital upon which the
banks do their business, should
not have some protection against
the loss of their money in the event
of the failure of the bank'

Four members of the Legislature
of Kentucky elected as Democrats
have betrayed their party and the
trust imposed in them by helping
to elect a Republican to the United
States Senate from that State.
The Democrats of Kentucky by
popular vote had signified their
preference for former Governor
Beckham for Senator, an instrnc.
ton which no true Democrat would
violate; but these four traitors to
their party held out for weeks
against him, and finally when it
seemed that the deadlock in the
Legislature, because of their re-
caltricancy, could not he broken,
MIR. Beckham withdrew from the
race so that Democrat might be
elected. Then it was that these
four renegades went square back
on every principle of honor and
representative government and
voted for Republican. A man
has right to change his political
convictions, but when he turns
traitor to the party that has hon
ored him and betrays it, he should
be consigned to political oblivion
and held in contempt by every man
who has any regard for honor and
principle.

Last Saturday morning the road
ovcrseers of st. Francois county

to the call of County Highway En-
ginecr Thos. II. Holman, to receive
general instructions and to discuss
matters relating to road improve
ment. The attendance of Ovcrsecrs
was good and all showed IA lively in
tercst in the work before them.
There Is no doubt that these meet

aiding the road ovcrscers to adopt IA
more uniform system of road inn

is impossible to macadamize the
roads Of st. Francois county with
the funds available; but it will be

MANITOBA SNOW
BOUND EXPRESS
TRAINS STALLED

WINNIPEG, Man., Oct. 2s.-One of
the worst snowstorms that ever &C.
Cured in the West is now at the height
of its fury and has demoralizeds the
service of the Canadian Pacific and the
Great Northern railroads. Ten inches
of snow have already fallen, accom-
panied by a gale. Snow has filed rail-
way cuts and In many cases the snow Is
ten feet deep.
Canadian Pacific snow plows r hard
at work, but little progress can be
made, until the storm ceases. The ex-
presses from Vancouver and other
points r stalled, while west-bound
trains are held UP east of the snow
region. No trains from the East reach
ing Winnipeg today, and 1t is doubtful
when they win get through. The storm
which broke over Alberta province
Tuesday night was wholly unexpected
by the railway companies and prepare
ton was not made to receive 1t. The
storm was binding and the snow soft.

until the polls close on election day"
Speaking in the Fifth ward, a Demo-
cratic stronghold, Judge Henry took
UP a bit of political gossip which he
heard was to be published by his OPP
ponents on the eve of election and too
late for him to deny. He said:
my opponents have been hunting for
something in my life which they
could use against me, n now they
are happy, having found something, a
generation g / voted in the Legis-
lature in favor of the Catholic protec-
tory bill, a measure to permit Roman
Catholics to erect and maintain at
their own expense an institution for
the correction and. reformation of chill
dren of their own faith, precisely as
they are doing now in that magnificent
institution at Arlington, where they
have made so many good citizens Of
boys who might otherwise have gone
to perdition.
"That measur properly has no place
in a municipal campaign, but my OPP
ponents in their yea to perpetuate
partisan misgovernment have resur-
the Catholic protectory bill and
have expected to rekindle the fires of
bigotry."

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE
FLOODS NEWARK MAILS

The first of what is apparently q
wholesale lot of campaign circulars was
received in Newark today by men who
are believed to be Democrats. They
were mailed from Lincoln, Neb., In
imitation of typewriter and with a fac
smile signature of w. ]. Bryan.
The purpose Of the circular is to pre-
vent Democrats from backsliding, and
mentions the various attributes of the
Democratic national platform. on which
Mr.. Bryan has dilated to considerable
extent in his campaign speeches.
How many of these circular letters
have been sent out was not known in
Newark. but If the whole. country is
covered as thoroughly the number must
be tremendous.
