Cement Bids.
Council Says Autos

g. What looked like an adaptation
of modern business methods was
brot to light at the meeting Of the
city council Monday evening last,
when the bids of the various CO.
ment companies of the city were
opened, and the figures for cement
work to be done for the city were
compared, and found to be identi-
cal. The Watertown Cement Co :,
the Western Cement CO. and the
Slower Construction Co. were the
three bidders and the figures quot
ed by all three were exactly alike
in every particular. Is it just a
happenstance or is it "conbina-
ton" entered into by the various
companies?
q. l NO GO
Whatever it was, it was nipped
in the bud by an irate council, who
on the motion of Aid. Lester unan-
imously rejected all bids. So the
combination did not work and the
companies lost the pie. Aid. Lester
in his speech making the motion
said that he considered the city
was able to hire men to do it's own
cement work. Whether the city

STAY IN MISSOURI.

It's a bad time to leave Mis-
souri,. The long-promised era of
better things for this great COM
monwealth has dawned. A new
spirit has been injected ir the
politics of the state and has been
infused in commercial and agri-
cultural circles. The old regime
has been permanently abandoned.
The state is entering upon an
era OF better government, better
laws. better schools, better
farms, better business methods
and better affairs generally. The
spirit of progress and improve
ment has taken fast hold on the
people. Land will be more
valuable, crops more remit
nerative, wages higher, homes
happier and politics more purer.
Stay in Missouri and aid in
making it the greatest state in
the Union.

Speaking of the two grand di-
visions of the Missouri Demo-

Kinney of St. Louis said: "The
Old Guard and the New Guard is
simply excess baggage and we
ought to get rid of them both
and have new deal all around" !"
Kinney hit the nail on the head,
but suggested no way of getting
rid of either faction. One must
devour the other. If the New
Guard devours the Old it will
die of indigestion and if the Old
Guard devours the New it will
die of internal friction. The Re-
publican army will put both of
the Democratic fractions out of
business next November.
