Will Support Mr.. Bryan.

Rev. E. w. Pfaffenberger, one of
Boonville's most highly respected
German citizens and editor of the
Western Christian Union, in the last
issue of his paper has the following:
Taft weighs 300 pounds avoirdu
pois. Bryan weighs about 200
pounds troy or mint weight. There
is a difference in fiber" Taft does
not deny that there is a God some
where in the universe; Bryan knows
there is a God who rules over the
destinies Of nations, and prays to
him every day for guidance, and
when his pastor is sick or away,
Bryan can preach the pure, sweet
Gospel. Taft is a great politician,
Bryan is a great statesman, and if
elected President, he will guide our
deStinieS with a ValOr that became
our ancestors, when the proud flag
of Dewitt swept the seas and the
thunder of Nan Tromp shook the
ocean.
The editor of the Western Chris
tan Union was born and raised
Republican, but from now on will
vote for the best men, regardless of
peliticS." BoOnville Advertiser.

A printer once upon a time, went


to hell, not as permanent resi-
dent, but as a reporter. He was
looking around the place in search
of news, when he met his Satanic
/ Majesty At first sight of the evil
one the hair on the printers head
began to rise. Seeing that he was
uneasy, the Devil remarked: Have
no fears. You are not predestined
to make this place your home.
What do want here?" Reassured,
the printer asked: Who are those
fellows over there roasting in that
trench?" oh, :" said the Devil, they
are the fellows that take news
paper for four or five years without
paying for it and then have the
postmaster mark refused" on it.
We give them a red hot sulphur
bath every hour" That is strange
said the printer some of those fell
lows pretended to be very pious
on earth" That's the reason"
said his Majesty, why they get the
birthstone bath extra. They pre-
tended to serve the Lord when in
truth they were my especial
agents" Who are those people.
over there working in brick?" asked
the reporter oh, they are lot of
fellows paving the streets here with
good intentions. They intended to
pay the printer, but never did.
Those brick they are laying are red
hot In fact, they are enjoying
warm time" Who are those fell
lows you have strung on wires be-
fore the fire." asked the reporter.
They are western fellows who Vot-
ed the Republican ticket. They are
too green to burn, so | am drying
them out" The reporter had seen
enough and soon took his departure
saying to himself: We'll, well the
Devil at least seems fair in his rul-
ings," Stolen ...
We are prompted by reading of
the sad case of Beulah Carter, at
Huntsville, to suggest that the task
of saving. the boys" should not en-
tirely do away with the necessity
for saving the girls as well. Boys
are naturally more Self-reliant and
better fitted to meet the dangers
and temptations that beset them
through life. But the greatest rea-
son for exercising closer supervision
over girls is the evil effects left by
their wrong-doing. Let a boy COM
init a wrong and at once willing
are stretched forth to save him; bnt
the poor girl who strays from the
path rectitude, however innocently
or ignorantly, is Stunned and sheer
ed at forever after. No voice is
lifted in her behalf, no kindly hand
is extended to draw her back, but
instead she is classed with the I'M
clean and must bear the stigma of
her shame through life The boy
who is responsible is treated as one
who has erred but is to be pitied
and encouraged to reform, while
his innocent victim is left to bear
the burden of her of shame alone.
Let us not forget that the girls,
quite as much as the boys, need to
be saved" Glasgow Missourian.

thirty odd years of uninterrupted
power is pretty conclusive evidence
that it never will" Kansas City
Journal. agt ."'G SN
The Post is willing to admit; that
the Journal is, on most occasions,
the fairest Republican organ in the
state of Missouri. But the state of
Missouri owes no debt of gratitude
to her Republican newspapers, be it
said to the shame of the men who
control the destinies of those organs
Whatsoever is vile, whatsoever is
shameful, whatsoever is evil, that
was what the Republican newspaper
and the Republican politician said
of Missouri and her institutions
when to SANDER her name and fame
gave promise of making a Republi-
can vote. Has the Democratic
party done nothing for the Missouri
school system? Surely it was not
the hand Of a man who has been
privileged to live long in Missouri
that penned that statement Surely
it was not the hand of one whose
eyes have seen and whose ears have
heard of the great work of Demo-
cracy in behalf of popular education
in this state.
Since the day that the victorious
hosts Of Democracy overthrow Re-
publican oppression and drove the
carpet-bagger with his ill-gotten
Spoils from a state laid waste, the
Missouri public school system from
the little log house Oh the hill to
the magnificent institution at CO.
lumbia has been the particular care
and pride of long line of Demo-
cratic administrations. From the
day that the plunderers were turned
out and the defenders of their
homes came back to their own, the
public school system of the State
has been nourished with tender
solicitude until Missouri boasts one
of the greatest universities in the
world, five normal schools, an insti-
tuition for higher education of the
negro, and 1874 school houses in
which 10,704 teachers daily instruct
more than 755,000 pupils.
The Democratic party has done
nothing for the schools? The Quilted
school fund left by the Republican
Carpet-baggers has been placed
upon a permanent basis and to-day
amounts to more than $13,000,000.
The state of Missouri spends annu-
ally, for the education of her chill
dren, more than $10,O00000.
One-third of the state revenues
90 directly into the school fund and
this enormous amount is sWelled by
interest on county funds, and by
fines and forfeitures until the state
of Missouri has for her schools, the
largest fund of any state in the
union.
Has Democracy done nothing fol
education in Missouri? Recall fol
a moment, those of you who have
lived in Missouri for a third of g
century, the wreck that was the
public school system of this state
at the end of the carpet-bagger re.
gime Then look about you at the
school houses on every hill, and in
every valley. Realize that there i;
none so poor in Missouri that hi
may not obtain an education which
will fit him for any walk in life
Realize that Missouri has done
more for the education of her ne
groes than many Republican states
have done for their whites. Realize
that of all the states in the union

texture to louisine -Pittsburg Dis

To Keep History Straight.

1t is often hard to keep track, in
ones memory of the men who have
in years gone by, carried the party
standards in the national elections.
Every fourth year the average
newspaper office is called by tele-
phone many times to answer some
such question as,
Who was democratic candidate
for vice president in 1852"
Just to keep history straight and
to obviate the necessity of making
bets in order to learn the truth, the
following list of candidates since
1856 is published for the enlighten-
ment of those who would like to
know:

PLAN MORE JUAkETS
They Are Going To Visit SaScc
Phoenix and Then to
BiSbee,

The excursion germ has got in
to the blood of the members of the
chamber of commerce since their nrst
expedition down into Sonora resulted
so pleasurably and, as result, at the
meeting of the chamber OF commerce
held the fore part of tAe week, they
asked the secretary to open negotia-
lions with Mr. Bicknell for several,
which are to be undertaken in the
near future, says the Tucson Star.
The first, and perhaps the most i'm
portant of the three now immeulare-
ly in prospect, is that which is set
for Sunday, April II, when it is
planned to send out a big party to tie
Sasco smelter and to Silver Bell. 1t
is recognized that the blowing in OF
the Sasco smelter is one of the big
things that has happened in this part
or Arizona recently and that it means
very much to Tucson, as well as all
the other points in this section
The following Sunday, which is the
10Th of ApIjI. there will be an excur-
sion to Phoenix, which viii give Tie
Maricopa county town an opportuni-
ty to SEE what Tucson can do in the
way of turning out an enthusiastic
booster crowd.
The third one of the junkets, so far
planned. is that for the 26th, when it is
planned to go to Bisbee.
The details of the three excursions
were being worked out yesterday us
Messrs. Bicknell and Failer but they
had nothing definite to give out last
night about either Of them. 1t is like
ly to be some days, yet before any
thing certain can be published as set
