pected from a guarantee of de-
posts in a safer form than now
exists, but there is persistent be-
lief that they would facilitate the
process of eliminating circulation
from the small communities to the
financial centers, therefore the
small towns oppose the plan.
In other countries, from which
if it were not for our excessive
national vanity, we might learn,
the postoffice does much of the
bust ness, which in this country is
divided among the express COM
panies. 1t is strange that in this
country people should seriously
oppose anything which would
cheaper and improve means of
tt ansmitting merchandise. The
argument against the parcels
post is the same one that has
been used against the railroad
and against all modern improv-
ments and labor saving machin-
cry. 1t would interfere with vest
ed and personal rights. 1t was
once commended that railroad
tr aims would brighten the horses,
dry up the COWS and ruin the
progress and prosperity of the
C ountry. This Chinese or Ameri-
canese opposition to the parcels
po st is no more reasonable. The
parcels post would facilitate ship
M ent OF merchandise. This is in
dispensable to increased CONNER
cial life. How long will the people
of this country tolerate the ex-
pr ess company trust and remain
the only benighted, backward
country in Christendom with
respect of postofice modernity?

1t is not expected that Congress
will do mnch more at this session
than to pass the appropriation
bill and the Presidents extensive
recommendations, a mere table of
which would fill half a column,
will be considered by the Sixty
first Congress, in long session,
when it shall assemble one year
hence. The incoming President
is pledged to carry out the Roos-
eveltian policies, and these the
President has enumerated in this
long message. They are briefly
a strengthening and confirming
of legislation for the control of
corporations; more celebrity in the
administration of justice; a reor-
ganization of the navy department
in a way analogous to that which
has recently been effected in the
war department; promotion in
both the army and navy personnel
for merit and without great re-
gard TO age or term of servie; the
admission of Arizona and New
Mexico as states ;the establishment
of postals savings banks and a
parsels post. The postals savings
bank recommendation is bitterly
opposed by the country bankers.
The men, who own the stock in
the numerous small banks widely
scattered throughout the country,
are those, who deposit the money
one day and borrow it the next.
They cling to their established
way of doing business and are
afraid of innovations. The pos
tails savings bank would not de-
stroy Or hurt the rural banks.
They would draw a large amount
of money into circulation and pro-
vide such benefits as would be ex-

WASHINGTON LETTER
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTER
EST FROM THE CAPITAL

Preparation for the inaugural
ton of Judge Taft on March the
fourth is we'll under way and it is
expected the parade on that day
and the Inauguration ball in the
evening will be at least equal in
pageantry and splendor to pre-
vious similar events. Guessers
are estimating the number of Wis
itors at two hundred thousand.
Every fourth year the Capital City
is better and better prepared to
entertain the great concourse of
people that come to Washington
to witness and enjoy the cere-
monies. Since the last Inaugural
ton the new Union Railway
station has been completed, a
building longer and wider than
the capital of the United States
and many times more capable of
receiving and distributing the
great crowds that pass through its
gates than were both the railway
stations, which it has superseded.
During the last four years the City
has gre atty increased its hotel and
boarding house Accommodations,
and those, who come here on the
fourth of March next will be able
to find bed and board in terms
commensurate with their purses,
big or small. The new railroad
rate bill, it is said, will have an
effect to limit the number of visit
ors and especially the masses of
nearby volunteer soldiery that
have poured into Washington on
previous occasions.

Farmers Week at Columbia

Perhaps you, Mr.. Missouri
Farmer have twenty ears of good
corn, which you would care to ex-
change for a corn binder of the
Mccormack, Deering, Osborne or
Milwaukee make and valued at
SIPS, an even trade-a barter
without "boot." If so, here's a
Tip" on corn for you, "but (t)you
must remember that the time for
making this trade is the very first
OF the "y)ear."
When and where can you get
such a big bargain a the above?
AT the Missouri State Corn Show
at Columbia during Farmers
week, Jan. 4 to 8, 1909. And re-
member that the corn binder is
only one of many premiums offer
ed-and don't forget that compe-
tition is free.
And there's a buggy for the boys
AN automobile-seat buggy VAL
ued at S75., which will go to the
young man ovcr sixteen and I'M
der twenty years of age, who wins
in the special co IN judging con-
test. This is only the first prize,
there are others.
The boys under sixteen years of
age-the future farmers-will
have a chance to prove their skill
too, and for them are cash prizes
ranging from $40, down.
For the young mems corn ex-
hibit there are more than a score
of cash prizes, in addition to the
special prize OF 800 to be awarded
to the contestant, who grows the
greatest weight of corn on one-
fourth of an acre. The man, who
gets the greatest weight of corr
off from a measured acre will re-
ceiv e S25. in cash. Then there
are silver trophy cups given as
swe epstakes prizes.
Particulars concerning all of
these prizes and many more are
given in full in the premium list
which may be had for the asking.
The corn show, which is held
under the auspices of the Missouri
Corn Growers Association, is
but one of the many features of
Farmers Week in Missouri.
What is Farmers Week? In
brief it is the great annual gath
ering of Missouri farmers, and
this year of their wives as we'll,
for one of the several added
features is the Housekeeper's con-
ference, which is to be just what
it's name implies. During Farm

a SURE THING FOR wIckLlFFE

On September 20 the people will be called
upon TO again cast their votes for the man
Iney wish to represent them in Congress-
from the Sixth Congressional District This
cnolce has already been declared, if we con-
cede that a small proportion of the votes
cast for Mr. Lefebvre at the last primary
will be cast for Mr.. Wickliffe, and make no
allowance for the natural increase that al
ways goes to a candidate who has shown that
ne has the strength to win. But to add still
more to Mr.. Wickliffe's strength, the indica-
tons are that he will receive the larger part
OF the vote that was cast for Mr.. Lefebvre.
This assertion comes as natural conclusion
under existing circumstances. It is reason
ably evident that the only chance Mr.. Fav-
rot has to win is to carry almost soIidly the
Lefebvre vote. We doubt if he could do
this even with the assistance of Mr.. Lee
febvre. But Mr.. Lefebvre has very Justly
refused to take any further part in the sec
ond primary than to vote for whichever can
dldate he chooses, and while he has not
declared his choice as simple matter of
opinion we believe he wiAkHpte foE Mr. Wick
life. This belief is strengthened by the in
ference that no stone was left unturned in
the e1<UTt to induce Mr. Lefebvre to throw
his influence to Mr. Favrot, that being
Mr.. Favrot's only chance to win, and that
Mr.. Lefebvre could have been induced to
do this had he not been inclined toward Mr..
Wickliffe
There are no issues that have not been
gone over in the previous campaign. Mr..
Wickliffe has shown that he is the favorite
by the large majority he received, and he
will certainly win out by larger majority
in the coming primary, on September 20.
But there is one stumbling block in the
way of success the only possible chance we
can see for the will of the people to be de-
feated- and that is the failure of the people
to go to the polls and vote Therefore, it
should be the duty of every voter to see that
no ballot is left uncast on that day.

Since Covington is to have park, it would
be an additional attraction if on certain even
ings people could gather there to listen to a
band of music as we'll as to enjoy the fresh
air. There is no reason why we should not
have such band The talent is here, and
perhaps the members Of the old Covington
brass band could be gotten together again.
The long winter evenings will soon be here
and will afford opportunity for practice, so
that by next summer open air concerts could
be given in the park. They undoubtedly
would be appreciated both by residents and
visitors.
