OBITUARY.

Laban Christian Hawn was born
In Catawba county, n. c., June y,
1877, and died Mt his home, four
miles east of Pennington, on June
o, 1908, at the advanced age of 81
years, Ii months and Ii days.
Brother Hawn was confirmed in
the Reformed Lutheran Church at
the age of -. He remained In this
church until he came to Missouri.
Then, during n meeting at old Shi-
loh church, he was converted while
out In the cornfeld. His CONVEX
sion was a wonderful experience.
In his after life she was not DISC
bedient to the heavenly vision" but
through the long years he lived the
Christ life. He joined the NJ. f.
Church, South, and was IA most
worthy member.
Brother Hawn leaves one sister,
one brother, two children, Mrs. T..
u. Chandler Of Route No. 3, and
Mr.. Noah Hawn, besides n great
many friends who will miss him
sadly.
Brother Hawn's work is done,
but his influence will be long felt as
blessing to those who love higher
things; for "no life can be pure in
it's purpose and strong In its strife,
and all life not be purer and stronger
thereby"
The funeral was conducted by the
writer at the Hawn residence, after
which the body was laid to rest in
the Wesley Chapel cemetery.

UNFAIR CRITICISM :"

Under the above caption the Kan.
sas City Journal of May 10Th cdi,
torially rehukes Governor Hadlcy
for his abuse Of the Democratic
State Senate. Like the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, the journal is a
stalwart Republican newspaper, but
unlike the CD. the Journal is oc-
casionally fair, even to political foes.
The journal says:
1.-The Missouri Senate is now get
ting all kinds of abuse from the
Governor aud others who ought to
be more just and fair. The Missouri
housc passed everything, good, bad
and indifferent. Like an ostrich, 1t
swallowed whatever came its way and
left the Senate to do the digestion
The Senate had no recourse. If it
fixed a bill, the House promptly I'M
fixed il. The whole game seemed to
be, on the part of the House, to put
the Senate in hole, and the Senate
could do nothing but kill the bills in
self-defence and in defence of the
state. Abuse Of the Senate under
the circumstances is unfair and be-
meath the dignity OF Republican
newspaper and Republican leaders. -

The hypocrisy and false pre-
tense of the prOtectionists who
claim that they only want IL tariff
that will cover the difference in the
cost of production Of articles at
home and abroad, with a reason
able profit" for the home producer,
has been clearly exposed by Sena.
tor Aldrich's attempt, as chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee,
TO suppress the report of wages
paid in Germany, prepared by the
German Chamber OF Commerce
He didn't want it translated and
published, for it showed an aver.
age scale of wages 30 near that of
the United States, that it left too
small a difference to suit either the
claims or purposes of the tariff
robbers. But the special interests
have by their campaign contrIbu,
lions paid for and own Congress,
so the tariff will be made what they
want it, regardless of conditions
abroad or at home, OF the injustice
it inhicts upon the ultimate con.
sumner -

WHAT DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE
FOR MISSOURI SCHOOLS

!. Increased Missoui school and
seminary trust funds from s., 67S, 800
in 1872, to ~ ,407 ,s67 u in 1908. The
permanent county school funds now
amount to 5000, 9SG.S2; the perma-
nent township and special district
funds amount to "a, 800, 50l AZ; total
permanent school funds ofthe state,
$l4, 0l4, 3i5.45.
.. Established and developed five
Normal Schools, Lincoln Institute
and the Teachers College OF the
State University for the education
and training Of teachers. In facul
ties and equipment these schools are
equal to the best schools Of the kind
In the United States.
3. Encouraged the development
Of rural, village, town and city high
schools to bring secondary educa.
ton within easy reach of the girls
and boys who live in the country
and encourage them to attend col
lege. There are now more than 40C
high schools in Missouri, nearly 30C
doing standard high school work
against less than One-tenth this
number thirty years ago.
4. More than twenty years age
the state, under Democratic rule
established n school for the blind
in the City of st. Louis. This school
has been supported handsomely ali
these years, but within the past eight
years a handsome, modern home,
one OF the best in the land, has been
provided.

We attended church some time
ago and listened to very good ser.
mon, as sermons go, said n well
known Kansas editor. We enjoyed
the singing and stood up with the
brethren and sister while they sang
the good old hymn. "Shall We
Know Each Other There?" While
the hymn was being sung we glanced
about us and counted about doz.
on members of the congregation of
the church who do not speak to each
other when they meet on the street
or elsewhere. The thought occurred
to us why should "they know each
other there" when they don't SEEM
ingly know each other here. Did II
ever happen to you?

that the Democratic contention is
all wrong.
1t doesn't matter that a majority
of the Democratic members have
stood by the principles of their
party-and all honor is due them
for this-the division is there; as II
party they failed to measure up to
their responsibility, and that too at
time when there is a waveriug
and weakness in the Republican
ranks. many of them beginning to
see the light of that indisputable
truth that it is wrong to tax the
many for the benefit OF the few.

The protective tariff duties have
been called the robber tariff"
and the name is not far wrong. for
they do by legalized process force
tribute from the many to pile up
fortunes for the few. But it APP
pears that some of the beneficial
ries of the protective tariff system
are not only legalized robbers, bnt
that they are thieves in more
vulgar sense, even stealing from a
paternal government that has so
generously conferred upon them
the legal privilege and means of
robbing their felowmen. The
Sugar Trust through series of
years stole several millions from
the government in duties by false
system of weighing, and when de-
tected in the theft just recently,
rather than stand trial on frand
charges, confessed guilt by paying
back 81 ,000,0 900 Of the money they
had stolen. At the same time they
were robbing the government of
the duties that were imposed to
protect them and other tariff bar
ons against foreign pauper pro-
duets" they were stealing water
from the New York City water
works, for use in their refinery, by
means of waterpipe which it
seems the city authorities didn't
know anything about, But they
were finally caught at this theft
also, and offered to compromise
with the city by paying $50, 900
or Whereabouts for the water they
had stolen, but as that was only
about half of the amount which
the water tax Mt regular rates
would have amounted to. the city |
very properly refused to accept it
as settlement. A New York |
paper speaking Of this latter incl
dent, remarked that the Sugar
Trust had shown that it was not
only a robber but sneak thief as
we'll. OF course the high officials |
Of the Trust deny any knowledge of |
these thefts, but us the money
saved by defrauding the gov.
of its duties and the city
)f its water tax was retained in the .
Trust 5 Golfers, and the underlings
Who carried out the system Of fraud
and theft received no benefit there
rom unless in higher wages for
heir skill at this kind of work. it
s hard to make the public believe
hat these higher officials knew
nothing about what was going on,
aud that the humber employees of
he Trust devised and carried out
he system of fraud just for the
pure fun and deviltry of stealing.

THE WAY IT STANDS,


Last Tuesday the Missouri Su.
preme Court decided that the suit
brought at the instance of Cover.
nor Hadley by Circuit Attorney
Jones before Circuit Judge vii.
Ilams of st. Louis, to restrain the
railroads operating in this State
from charging three cents mile
for passenger fare, could not stand.
The Supreme Court holds in sub
stance that the rate question has
passed to the jurisdiction of the
Federal Court; that the State Su.
preme Court will not assume jurls.
dlctloE over any suit pending in
the United States Court and over
which the latter court has assumed
jurisdiction; that the Circuit At.
torney had no authority to ask for
n state wide writ, and that Judge
Williams had no authority to en-.
terrain such proceedings, in the
absence of bond, when the Federal
Court had assumed jurisdiction
over the question of railroad rates;
that the Attorney General was the
proper person to have filed such
proceedings, had the way been open
for their entertainment
Governor Hadley ignored Attor.
uey General Major. who opposed
this proceeding, in instigating the
restraining suit pending the ap.
peal OF the two cent rate injHnc.
lion proceedings from Federal
Judge Mcpherson decision; aud
now he finds that his hasty action
in assuming the prerogatives of
the Attorney General will not
stand, but looks like a strenuous
attempt to keep himself in the lime
light in the settlement of this rate
question, The decision of Judge
Mcpherson and the attitude of the
railroads to Immediately take ad.
vantage of it and restore the old
three.cent rate were exasperating,
it is true, and the temptation of
the popular acclaim with which he
would be hailed if he could thwart
the railroads was great. but still it
must be admitted that he stepped
a little outside the role of his du-
ties in ignoring the Attorney Gen
eral and his judgment in the mat.
ter and playing n lone hand.
The result OF the State Supreme
Courts decision it now seems ia
that until the constitutionality of
the two cent rate law is decided by
the United States Supreme Court,
the railroads may go ahead and
charge any old rate of fare not in
excess of three cents a mile. Sew.
eral of the roads have already gone
back to the three. cent rate, where n
lower competitive rate does not
confront them, the st. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern. which
most largely effects this section,
being one of them. Others have
rates of . y cents, with slight con-
cessions for 500 and 1,000-mile
transportation tickets. Whether,
as is believed by some, uniform
rate of 21a cents will finally pre-.
vail. is in the future.

a PERTINENT QUESTION

The Globe. Democrat short
time since captioned an editorial
with this question, Is There Il
Democratic party1' Since the re-
vision of the tariff law has been
under consideration by Congress,
and the people have noted how
many Representatives elected on
the Democratic ticket aligned
themselves aud voted on the effort
10 the House to defeat the gag
rules of that body aud the auto
cratic power exercised by the
Speaker under those rules, and
how they have voted aud traded
with the protectioniSt Republicans
in order TO retain protective du.
ties on some special interest of
their respective districts-thus en-
couraging the cohesive powder of
plunder-the question propounded
by the Globe Democrat has also
suggested itself TO many Demo-
Gratis.
Democratic principles are inner
ent in the minds of the many; they
are living principles that will con-
time TO assert themselves as long
as a love of personal liberty and
the just doctrine of equal privi-
leges to all, special privileges to
none" remains dominant in the
human breast. But principles,
however Just, benificent and adj
mlrable, do not constitute a party.
A party means systematic, active
and loyal organization for the ex-
position and perpetuatlon of prin.
ciples; but when men elected upon
a platform setting forth those prin-
ciples violate them for any reason
TO curry favor with powerful spe.
cial privileges, for temporary per-
sOnal advantage or ambition, or
for other corrupt purp0ses-they
betray their party, destroy the con.
fidence of the people in the SIM
cerity of its purposes, aud weaken
the efforts and the arguments OF
those who are honestly trying to
uphold and advance its principles.
Partisans may differ as to the best
policy of strengthening and carry
ing out the principles of their par
ty. but when they deliberately vio-
late the very intent and spirit
thereof, they create first distrust,
then confusion aud finally dseute-
grafton, for the wisest Being who
ever mingled among men and diff.
fused the light of truth into their
darkened minds said that "a house
divided against itself cannot stand"
And therein lies the sin of those
Senators and Representatives who.
elected as Democrats, have ignored
both their party platform and the
principles to which it has ever laid
claim, in helping to defeat the re.
forming of the House rules and
voting protection to the lumber.
the iron, the hide and the cotton
interests, proclaiming by their ac-
tons that the Republican doctrine
of special privileges to the few and
a tariff for protection is right, and
