COwherd'S Platform
A Declaration of Principles From the
Leading Candidate for Governor.

sas City, candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for governor
has outlined the platform on
which he will seek official pre-
fermeut, as follows:
l believe in the fundamental
principles of the Democratic
party and expect to stand upon
them in the campaign.
The largest t liberty to the in.
divldual, exercising over him
only such restraint as is neces-
sary for the interest of the CON-
munlty, and to prevent him
from interfering with the rights
of others
A recognition in every com
munity of its right to regulate
its own local affairs, wise econ
omy in the expenditure of pub
lie funds, and the taking no
more in taxes from the pockets
of the citizens than is necessary
for the economical administra-
tion of the affairs of the state.
Economy, however, does not
mean parsimony. Missouri is
one of the great states OF the
Union, and as such must main
tain her proper place in the
march of progress.
A liberal policy toward the
cause of education from the pub.
lie school at the bottom to the
university at the top, for on an
intelligent constituency only
can free government rest.
The building and maintenance
of good roads, thus keeping the
farm always in touch with the
market, linking communities
with each other, increasing the
prosperity of all, and widening
the horizon alike of inhabitants
of country, and of city.
Such supervision of corpora.
tions created by the state, as
will prevent the issuance of
watered and worthless stock,
under tue apparent sanction OF
the law
A regulation of the charges
of public service corporations,
along lines fair alike to the
public and to those who have
invested their money in such
enterprises.
The proper protection of la
bor by just laws. based upon a
recognition of the fact that the
world is bettered as wages in.
crease and hours of labor are
shortened and the conditions un-
der which men must work i'm.
proved.
An equitable adjustment of
the burden of taxation, to the
end that the small property
owner whose home is always
visible 10 the tax gatherer,
bears no more than his fair
share of such burdens.
The promotion of manufactur-
ing throughout the state, In or
der that a wider diversificatiou
of industries may bring greater
assurances of prosperity.
A thorough revision of the
laws by a competent commission.
A strict regulation of the liq.
uor traffic and enforcement of
the laws In regard to the same,
including the closing of the sa-
loon on Sunday.

AT the Turn of the Tide.

1t was asserted by Aristotle
that no animal dies near the sea
except at the ebbing of the tide.
This idea in some form or another
has been popular for centuries.
Such a notion, | find, still ex-
lists at Gravesend. An old salt
who used to sit by a dying man
in an ale house on the shore of
the Thames told me he noticed
my patient was always wors at
the turn of the tide, and then got
better after the tide had turned.
Readers of Dickens cannot forget
the account in David Copper
field" Of Mr.. Barkis going out
with the tide"
According to Aristotle and Mr..
Pegotty, it is at the ebbing Of
the tide that death always occurs.
But at Gravesend, / am told, it
does not matter whether the tide
is at the ebb or flow; it is just
at the turn of the tide that death
occurs. II have often seen it
happen, sir" an old shrimper
said to me quite recently.

GOT LOTS OF TIME
But the Judge Drew the Line at
Eternity.

Canada's supreme court has
fixed 4 maximum of three hours
for counsel's addresses, which de-
gree has recalled some tales Of
it." Don't apologize" was the
told of a counsel who pressed his
argument for a very long time
with frequent repetition. "Mr.
-" said the judge, you have
said that before" Have I, my
lord?" replied counsel apologetic-
ally, Il am very sorry; I forgot
it," Don't apalogize,' was the
judicial response; 1T was so very
long ago"
An American lawyer, who
seemed unable to arrive at. the
end of a prolonged speech, at last
ventured to express a fear that he
was taking up too much time.
ooh, never mind time" observed
the judge, but for goodness sake,
do not trench upon eternity

CANINE T FIEND.
Pittsburg Dog Jumps Aboarc
Any Auto That Comes Along.

Pittsburg has a canine autOmO
bile enthusiast. He is a blaCA
bull terrier, now quite old, who
attached himself to the fortunes
of DR.. M. w. Everson in puppy
hood.
The dog, whose name is Jack.
frequently accompanied DR.. Ever
son on automobile spins, says the
Motor World, and was unmis-
takably grieved when the ply
stefan several years ago dispensed
with his motor ar.
He allayed his sorrow by romp-
ing alongside of passing automo-
biles, and eventually had the
nerve to jump into one. The
driver did not resent the intru-
sion, and from that time Jack has
spent his days repeating the trick.
He has become quite a favorite
with automobilists.
Jack does not like a poisy car,
and when riding in one will make
a quick shift if a quieter vehicle
happens along. He has not use
for a wind shield either, prefer
ring to stand with his front feet
on the dashboard, feeding on wind
with evident relish when he is not
barking. His bark is pretty con-
slant. however, and the driver
who has him as a passenger is not
obliged to toot his horn to any ex-
tent.

DON'T USE SURNAMES.
Only Christian Names Signed by
Majority of Royal Houses.

The origin Of most royal houses
was similar throughout Europe,
and kings and their families,
speaking broadly, never had or
used surnames. They signed
their Christian names alone.
So universally was this the case
that it became rigid etiquette that
a person of royal birth should not
use a surname, though there have
been numbers of cases of dynas-
ties, like our own Stuarts, like the
Bernadotte dynasty of Sweden or
like the B%onaparte family, who
unquestionably and individually
had inherited surnames. But it
has always been a puzzle why the
cadet members of oar own royal
house do not subscribe them
selves as peers by their peerage
designations, as do other peers.
However, the fact is they do
not, but it has not been discov-
cred what are the rules which
govern their signatures. The
sovereign signs by the Christian
name and usually adds "R." or
"R. and l." Princes and prin-
cesses sign by their Christian
names, and sometimes, but not
always, add the letter "P." When
or why this is added or omitted is
not known.
But the habits of royalty lead
others into strange happenings.
There was an occasion upon
which Queen Victoria after a
function" was asked to sign a
visitors book. Her majesty
wrote "Victoria r. and l." Prin-
cess Henry of Battenberg then
wrote Beatrice P" The turn of
the local Mayoress came next,
and she signed elizabeth" The
surname was hastily written in
the following day, but too late to
prevent the story gaining cur
rency.

inducements offered by no similar
school. 1t not only offers the in
ducements, but also keeps every
promise made. Every graduate of

suit, the attendance is the largest of
any business school in South Dakota.
A number from this vicinity are in
attendance and all pronounce the
school even better than it claims to
be.

WON'T SHUT DOORS.
TL-sy Will Ride Backward, Re-
ports a Traveller of Enslishmen.

ports a Traveller of Englishmen.
Travellers returning from Eng
land tell of two habits of the peo-
pie of that country which inn
pressed them. One is the aver
ase Englishman's aversion to
shutting the door behind him.
Il don't know how it is in the
f glish houses" remarked one
w,.o returned recently from
abroad, "for I was not in one of
them, but l stayed in a hotel in
London where there were a good
many English people, and a dozen
times daily I had to get up and
shut a door to keep the draught
away.
1T didn't make any difference
whether it was a servant or a
guest who went through, the door
was left open. This was in the
spring of the year, too, when the
weather was chilly. l noticed
the same thing in railway coach
es and hotels of smaller towns"
The other English popularity
is a preference for riding back
ward on trains. The Snglishman
will make for the seat with its
back to the engine every time,
plant himself down in it with ev-
cry evidence of comfort and look
wonderingly at anybody who
picks out a seat facing the direc-
ton the train is going. Not once
did one American travelling in
England e a native choose a
seat facing the front of the train
unless there were no other seats.

Cedar Shavings for Dogs.

If your dogs are troubled with
1eas a very simple way to get rid
of the pest is TO provide beds of
fresh cedar shavings, or, better,
cedar excelsior in the kennels or
wherever the dogs sleep. The
scent is not at all unpleasant to
che dogs, but is abhorent to the
feas. When a dogs coat gets
thoroughly scented not only do
the feas leave him while asleep,
but they will not jump upon him
when he is out in the sand dur.

Typhoid Epidemic

Pierre Capital-Journal.- Just what
and just where, we do not know,
but something is wrong in Pierre.
There is too much typhoid fever.
This thing has been going on for
some time, and new cases keep COM
ing on, and at present one citizen
lies dead in his home from the effects
of this disease. Typhoid fever is a
serious matter and something should
be done to locate the source of this
trouble. We do not think it is pos
slble that it is our water supply.
No one can hardly expect to find it
the cause. Yet this water should be
thoroughly examined by competent
authority.
Various localities are reporting an
epidemic of typhoid fever this fall,
and in many cases it is proving fatal.
Highmore has had numerous cases,
and a number of deaths. So far
Miller has had two fatal cases, and
it seems difficult to locate the cause
as the artesian water should be safe
from any germs. However it would
be wise for everyone to exercise the
greatest possible care in the matter.
A Pierre doctor advances the theory
that the germs r created by filth
about a town and then carried from
house to house by flies.
