The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1908-10-09

IT il the ambition of most all
young lawyers to be elected to the
state Legislature for at least one
term. They consider that it gives
them a standing at the bar, and
an opportunity to get acquainted
withthe managers of big corpora
tons end business firms and thus
gives them a chance to build up Il
practice as corporation attorneys.
Such a practice is very lucrative
and is much sought by am bitious
young attorneys. AS far as the
welfare of the people is concerned
the TRIBUNE believes that it
would be far better to have more
capable farmers and business
men in the state legislature than
so many self-seeking, young
attorneys. 1t is reasonable to pre-
sumo that when the people OF a
County send n of their former
neighbors to the legislature, that
his sole ambition will be to
serve the people. He has no law
practice to build up.
More farmers and fewer lawyers
IA the Legislature would be for the
best interests OF all the people.

HON. DAVE BALL delivered al
address here last Thursday after
noon to a fair audience and while
he endorsed Bryan and the Dem.
ocratic ticket he did not mention
Cowherd. But at Bellfower that
evening, it is said, that in his
speech he practically endorsed
Cowherd. II the report is true,
the Hon. Dave has come down
from his high position, and after
election he will get the horse
laugh from Cowherd and the old
guard and nothing in the future
from the people of Missouri. An
act of that kind would separate
Mr.. Ball from his following, but
would not deliver that following to
Cowherd. The men, who sup
ported Ball in his resentment of
the frauds in ST. Louis will never

A PERFECT EAR OF corr
To Be Put In the Cornerstone Of the
New Agricultural Building

Is there a perfect ear of corn in
this country? If SO. and the own

College at Columbia, it will be
Theoretically sealed in a glass case
and put in the copper box that is
70 be deposited in the conversion e
of the 100000. Agricultural Build
ing now being erected on the
University campus. The name
and address of the grower and
any other information that can be
furnished in regard to how it was
grown, together with a score of
this ear by an expert corn Judge
will be deposited with this ear SO
that 200 or more years hence,
when this structure may be torn
down, the people then living will
have an opportunity to see what
we at this time conceived to be q
perfect ear OF corn, and will know
who grew it.
The cornerstone will be laid the
latter part of October and anyone
having IN ear on hand that shows
extra quality shou Id send it care
fully wrapped in paper, by mail
or express to Dean H. J. Waters,
Missouri Agricultural College,

Remember corn may be of tn e
present or any previous crop, so
long as it is sound and free from
vermin, may be of any color, var
iety or kind, so long as it is a very
high class ear. An illustrated
pamphlet describing a perfect ear
of corn, which would be very
helpful in making the selection,
may be had free of charge by
writing to the Agriculture COL
lege. Who is to have the honor
of contributing the most perfect
ear of corn in Missouri?

PERHAPS some of our Demo-
cratic friends think, when the
TRIBUNE says Taft will be the
next President that it is the re-
suit of a mere political bluff, but
it is not. Just a. surely as the
Bird of November comes MI. Taft
will be elected aud on the 4th of
March he will become President
unless death intervene S. Nothing
out a land slide in favor of Bryan
can elect him. If he got all the
Democratic votes in the country
there are not enough to elect him.
There is no indication of a land
slide to the Democratic candidate.
Quite the contrary. Everything
indicates Republican gains. All
# the Republican states are safe
and many of the Democratic
States are in doubt. This is a
Republican year and Taft will be
our next President.
