ing subject of all the interest which
 properly belongs to it, that their vo>
 cabulary is so limited and so lack
 ing in linguistic propriety that the
 gorge of all literary men rises and
 that they arc severely to blame for
 their oratorical shortcomings. On
 the contrary, it has been said that
 the average audience at a science
 lecture is so entirely ignorant of the subject under treatment-and, in> deed, of all its preliminaries-that a lecturer has always to devote the greater part of his time to explain ! ing matters which the schoolmaster is supposed to have taught, that
 when he has done so the majority | of his hearers remain in state of | mental fog owing to their intellec-
 tual deficiencies and that, in short. 1 members of the audience care so lit 1 tie for science as to neglect the ob>
 vious duty of acquiring knowl- edge of the general principles under | lying a certain branch of inquiry
 before listening to what a specialist
 on the subject has to say upon it's
 modern aspects. The public run

 Broadly speaking, with one or two

The London Meat Trades Jour nal figures that the United Kingdom imports of American and Canadian cattle show an IS per cent decrease for the first five months of this year. compared with last year, and 29h per cent. with 1906. The American shipments of refrigerated beef fell of 404,479 hundredweight (of 112 pounds each) compared with the 1907 period, while the total increase of 30.ss9 was due to the heavy con- signments from Argentina. A sub stantial increase of 337,23S hun dredweight in the weight of bacon is due to the heavier shipments from the United States. the supplies from Canada and other countries being less.

Next in importance to crop prog ress and the Standard oil decision as market factors was the great im- provement in the bond market, says Banker Clews, the result of bettered financial conditions and a revival of investment demand. Our big rail- road systems, 1t is well understood. are in urgent need of funds for car rying on the improvements previous ly inaugurated. The panic suddenly cut off their usual source of supply; throwing many hands out of employ ment and intensifying the industrial depression. Under present Gondi- tions the raising of new capital by stock issues would be impossible, and bond issues are the only resort. Fortunately q market can now be found for higher grades of the lat ter on reasonable terms; thanks to easy money and a partial revival Of confidence This recovery of the investment demand is one of the most significant and satisfactory in- dications of the times.

WORTHY OF CONFIDENCE.
An Offer Backed Up by One of the
Most Reputable Concerns in
Newberry.

We will either cure you Of constl-
patton or pay for all the medicine
used during the trial. You pay us
nothing if we fail. That's mighty
broad statement, and we mean every
word Of il. We will back it up with
our own personal reputation; too.
Could anything be more fair and Sc

The most scientific, common sense
treatment is Rexall Orderlies. Their
active principle is very recent scien-
tific discovery that is odorless, color
less and tasteless: very pronounced,
gentle and pleasant in its action, and
particularly agreeable in every way.

tual constipation, or the associate or
dependent chronic ailments, we urge
you to try Rexall Orderlies at our
risk. Remember, you can only get

Pages could be filled with the
proofs of the fact that the Old
Guard ran Missouri exclusively
for what there was in it for the
Old Guard. The idea of doing
anything primarily for the public
welfare had long been dismissed
as a relic of ridiculous sentimen-
taIism. No practical politics in
that for the Old Guard.
The coming state election is Il
matter of serious business for Mis-
souri,. Mr.. Taft will probably he
president for the same four years,
and it would certainly be better
for the state to be bis supper ter
than in the opposition. Some Of
the leading national issues, such Us
waterways, are especially impor-
tant to Missouri. But the State
Government itself needs a thorough
ovcrhauling by an executive Of
honesty. brains, energy, direct
hess of purpose and intelligent
public spirit. Mr.. Had|ey is for
home rule and Mr.. Cowherd
against it. Mr.. HadIey is against
the control of the large cities by
state boards, and Mr.. Cowherd is
for it. Mr.. Hadley is against
election frauds and Mr.. Cowherd
is willing to be their beneficiary.
Mr.. Hadley is the enemy of the
Old Guard and all its works. 1t
will be heard of no more if he is
elected governor. Corporations
will be on good behavior if Had
ley is chosen, but how if Cowherd
and Stone are placed at the head
of state affairs? These matters
call for serious consideration ut
the hands of the 100000 voters
of Missouri. The interests of the
state for four years rest with their
ballots of November 3.-Globe.

A well known Democrat here,
who did not like the turn that was
given the Elyins and Smith debate
at the court house last Saturday
night, was heard to remark that he
could not SEQ why the question of a
tariff on lead was given such a
prominence in the discussion when
probably not dozen men in the
county were benefited by such
tariff protection. Our friend has
no doubt, taken a prejudiced
view of the matter, which has led
him to underestimate the number
of people in this county who would
be affected by a Democratic policy
in the matter of tariff duties on
lead. Directly there must be u
considerable number of The inhab.
itants of this county who are con-
cerned in the maintenance of pro,
tectiye duties on this mineral COM
modify, for they are still depend
ant on the mining Of it for their
livlihood. Indirectly this question
affects still larger number of
people. In the south end of the
county the farmers have found a
profitable and never-failing mar
ket in recent years in the St.
Francois county lead mining dis
trict for their farm products.
Take the protection from lead and
lead ores and the mines and mills
10 that county would in all proba-
biity be closed down, and un-
doubtedly, in such event, labor
there would be largely diminished
and its purchasing power curtailed
in the same proportion, which
would reflect itself upon the mar.
ket for the farmers produce
Again, a large number of mer
from this county seek temporary
employment at dull seasons al
home in the mines and mills ot
the Lead Belt, and much of the
wages they earn is sent back home
to their families. The one unfor'
tunate feature of Democracy il
that its adherents are so prone t
give party success predominanct
over everything else, regardless o
whom or what it may affect.

baby expects better ''husiness''

can primaries last spring in St.
Louis county Gumberts took an
active part. Now he is an ardent
supporter Of Cowherd and the
Democratic ticket, as are all of
the saloon keepers of his class in
st. Louis city and county. Such
men usually know "what's comm
to 'em" when they get busy in be-
half of any candidate. They are
not supporting Cowherd because
he has promised to enforce the
dramshop laws-that is certain.
They are evidently relying upon
some more agreeable promise or
understanding. They know that
HadIey will enforce the law, hence
they want Cowherd. Can't You
guess why!

| The journal seems not to be

on piebald politics. Is there any
Republican candidate that it ex

The Independent must have had
a dream that we were not pleased
with with its article on ''piebald
politics." in fact, it pleased rs
nightly. 1t waa truthful ex
position of the facts by which II
number of our Democratic friends
have managed to get into fat
county Offices in the past ten or
twelve years. The Independent
did not mean it so, but its article
was certainly Il most successful
arraignment and timely arraign-
ment of the methods by which its
political friends have overturned
the Republican majority in this
county. The game is being tried
again by them again this year to
land az many Democrats in the
county offices as possible. While,
as is always the case, the Republi
can nominees will get a few Demo
cratic votes on grounds of personal
friendship, there is no indication
in the election returns of many
years in this county that indicates
they ever resortcd to "piebald" or
spotted methods to get the Offices.
Beating the brush with booze and
Doodle has been and still is the
Democratic reliance to win elec-
tions in Washington county. The
Independent in an attempt to hold
a few friendship votes away from
Republican candidates, has started
something that has set decidedly
unpleasant with the nominees on

must get their votes from the Re-
publicans if they get any of the
