JUDGE W, II. Wallace, Of Kansas
CITY, during the last ten days Of the
campaign struck his stride and made
a tine showing In several parts Of the
state. AS predicted by the Ledger,
in this part Of Missouri bis vote came
largely from cowherd. Judge Wallace
under ali circumstances takes defeat
must philosophicAlly and is ever ready
to stump the state for the successful
nominee. Along this line the Mober-
ly tMc.) Democrat. editorially says:
There is one trait about William q.
Wallace, Of Kansas City, that every
democrat can most heartily endorse
and that Is his courage In defeat.
Every one Of his followers knew that
he was for the nominee the minute II
was shown BY the returns, who be was.
In some respects Wallace is a very
radical man, but be has never been q
kicker when defeated. Wallace will
not be governor Of Missouri, but there
are many places TO which be can be
appointed by President Bryan that be
would fill with wonderful distinction
to himself and his party. He well
knows Cowherd is just as honorable,
able, Democratic as he is himself and
probably no voice will be more effect
i've in Cowherd's behalf than will that
OF William II. Wallace. No man In
the state Of the ability OF Wallace has
been more unfortunate in his political
aspirations than has he, yet, never
has personal defeat ever turned him
from the support Of the PARTY and the
c~ommendable part about it is, be has
never hesitated or grumbled, but i'm
mediately announced himself for his
opponent however, narrow the maj
GRITTY or however disappointing to
himself. Principle may keep him from
supporting bis party at times but per-
sonal defeat never"

QUITE a number Of taxpayers In
Audrain county are in favor OF selling
the county farm and building an In
Urinary in Mexico or in the suburbs Of
the city in which to take care Of the
poor Of the county. They claim that
the system Of renting the poor farm is
wrong, and that the infrmary should
be managed by a man on a salary, who
should have ten or fifteen acres OF
ground on which TO have a garden.
Everybody seems to be in favor Of the
new jail and the new infrmary, and
the only question is as to whether 1t
would oe best to sell the county farm
or not The County Court is anxious
TO meet the wishes Of the taxpayers,
and the Ledger would like 10 hear
from those interested along this line.
