THE primary.

The general primary held in
Missouri last Tuesday was not
altogether a success. A light
vote was polled, especially in the
parties other than the Demo
cratic. Probably every officer
who was nominated would have
landed under the old convention.
Cowherd, Painter, Roach and
Gordon certainly would. In
Lafayette county the Democrats
were the only ones who had any
contests and they have for years
held primaries.
This year the county had to
undergo a lot of extra expense
and it is difficult to see where
any good was accomplished as
far as we are concerned.
Throughout the state there
may be need of a primary; but
in Lafayette county the old way
was better. 1t looks from this
point too that it was better
everywhere.

Base Ball Sunday.

The Merchants will hook up with the
fast German team from Concordia
Sunday afternoon at Riverside Park.
The Merchants team has been greatly
strengthened by the addition of some
of the old regulars. Lauchner will
be IN his old place at short, Scott on
second and Mackie back to first.
Kelly, a fast fielder from Odessa has
also been signed. Jarboe Terhune
will sling the pill for the home team,
with Shinn behind the bat. Either
Brockman or Kueck will twirl for
Concordia. The game will be a good
one and should draw a large crowd.
The grand-staud is completed and
plenty of ice water will be on hand.

COWHERD.

The INTELLIGENCER claims
the distinction of being the first
paper in the state to declare for
Cowherd for Governor. 1t first
urged him to make the race and
later announced its intentions of
supporting him in the primary,
in the general election and in
the administration of the duties
of his Office. So far everything
has turned out exactly according
to the prediction and plain sail
ing seems to be ahead.
The party did a wise thing in
nominating William S. Cowherd
for Governor. He is the one
man who can unite the party and
win hands down, the esteemed
Cole County Democrat to the
contrary Notwithstanding. Ball
was vulnerable on the railroad
question and Hadley would have
taken many voters from him on
that score. Wallace, while a
most excellent man, probably
could not have been elected; for
he appealed only to the church
people and, as DR.. G. e, Patillo
pointed out in his sermon Sun
day night, the mass of the peo-
pie is not interested in the
church. Stapel, except with the
unconditional and rabid vets,
was a sort Of joke and would
have a hard time to win out in
November.
But Cowherd is as clean, as
able, as upright a man as is in
politics today and his nomination
means overwhelming victory for
the Democrats in Missouri next
fall. Not one substantial thing
was found against him in all his
public record by men who trieG
their best to discredit him in the
eyes Of the voters. He is a NAL
with a record and a good one
He is a sure winner and that is
no mistake.
Hurrah for Cowherd!

which we hesitate to call by
name,--would have shivered a
little, but would nevertheless
have lodged the issue by stoutly
upholding the Presidents purity
of motive, personal integrity,
resolute purposes, etc., etc. Not
so now? There has never been
known such unanimity in con-
demnation ola Presidents utter
ance as has been manifested in
respect to this latest attack upon
the integrity Of the courts. Even
the Tribune gagged. In fact,
we have not seen or heard a word
offered by newspaper or individ-
ual in excuse of the official dec
laration. For ourselves, we
must say that the incident lacks
the significance attacked to by it
our neighbors whose belated
recognition of the menance to
free government appears after
the real danger passed. Indeed,
deeply as we deplore so unseemly
an exhibition of mental and NOR
al lawlessness on the part of a
President of the United States,
we are disposed to regard it
philosophically as justifying
completely the criticisms which
we have passed upon Mr.. Roose-
velt's methods during the past
two years, and for which, from
time to time, we have been taken
somewhat severely to task. If it
be true, as we believe, that the
first sensation Of every honest
mind, after recovering from the
shock, was one of intense relief
that Mr., Roosevelt will cease to
be President after March 4th,
and that, because of that fact,
his power for harm is already
broken, we could ask no better
confirmation Of the foresight and
wisdom Of the course this jour
nal has pursued somewhat per-
sistently since April 10, 1907

DROWNED AT AULLyILLE
Son of Stewart Santmeyer of this City
Meets Death in Watery Grave.

Webb Santmeyer, twelve year
old son of MIR. and Mrs. Stewart
Santmyer, of this city, was
drowned in a pond about one
mile west of Aullville, five miles
south Of this city, at 5 o'clock
Saturday afternoon. The body
was recovered an hour later.
The boy went to Aullville Sat
urday morning on the train to
spend a day or two with his
uncle, Wentworth Tyler. Late
in the afternoon he in company
with Robert Lee Tyler and Owen
Fitzgerel, boys of about the
same age, went to a pond of
water on the George Osborn
farm, half a mile from the house,
and all went in bathing. After
playing in the shallow water for
a short time, Webb said to the
other boys he would show them
how to dive. Holding his nose
with his fingers he dived into
the water. The boys awaited
his coming up, but moments
passed and he did not appear.
After a few minutes the two
boys realized that Webb was
drowned. Excidedly they ran
to the house to give the alarm.
Pete Carney and Cliff Elsea were
summoned from an adjoining
farm and hurried to the pond.
They soon recovered the lifeless
body Of the boy. 1t was taken
to the Tyler home.
A telephone message was sent
to the parents in this city, Mr..

Santmeyer and some friends
hurried to Aullville. The body
was brought home and prepared
for burial by the undertaken, A.
H. Hader. Funeral services
were held at the home of the
parents at 3 o'clock Sunday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. G..
J. Warren of Lexington. Inter
ment in city cemetary. The
fond parents have the deep sym
pathy of the entire community.
The night before while at the
tank pond fishing, Webb told Dr..
w. C. Webb that he could not
swim much, but he was going to
learn. His father had taken him
and the other boys to d pond in
the field near his home several
times this summer to teach him
how to swim. The elder brother,
Forest, can swim reasonable well,
and this made Webb determined
to learn also. He was an indus
t%rious, obliging and manly boy.

STRONGER YET
Is the Bill at the Grand for the
Latter Half of This
Week.

Those who witnessed the splendid
show at the Grand Opera House the
first OF the week would hardly believe
that the bill for the three days open
ing tonight Is yet stronger, but that
is what Manager Robinson insists.
A whole circus in one act is what
is promised for tonight. The zemo-
Zemo troup has four people and the
stunts rival anything ever seen here
under white top. They were At
Morsantowh the first half Of the
week and are spoken Of as the best
act ever seen there in vaudeville.
Anderson & Reynolds. a refined
singing and talking act, win also be
on the bill for tonight and they also
come highly recommended.
The pictures win be new and Prof
Gus smith will render new illus
trated song tonight which he expects
to be exceptionally well received.
It Is a show to be remembered
and there is little wonder that the
Grand is being 50 well patronized.
