WISDOM Is ADVISED.

The right to recall public ofacials and select others to fill the vacancies thus created, was recognized ip the articles of confederation drawn and adopted by the founders of our ro- public. Article V of ga q articles of confederation reads: For the more convenient management of the gen eral interests of the United States, delegates shall be annually appointed in such manner as the legislature of each state shall direct, to meet in congress on the first Monday in No vember. in every year, with power reserved to each state to recall its delegates, or any of them within the year, and to send others n their stead for the remainder of the year." It will be seen by this article that the founders of our government saw the wisdom of reserving in the people power to control their public serv- ants and to retire them at once In case they should fail to honestly and faithfully discharge their duties. It win also be seen by the above extract from the art cles of confederation. that the doctrine of recall is not, as some pepars and politicians would have us to believe, new and radical innovation in the matter of repa bli- l. can government, but came into ex istence with our republic. But. nev.
 ertheEe ss, we are still of the opin on that it would be " sdom on the
 part Of the constitutional convention, to exempt the iudic ary from the op-
 eration of the recall in the conztitu- tion seu to Washington because of
 the disposition of the esnate and pres dent to avail themselves of all piaus- lible excuses for withholding their ap- sprova of the documsus

MEXICO AND vANDAL|A
RECEIVE CREDIT FOR
THE GROWTH OF AUDRA|N

The increase in Audrain eounty's
population is credited to Mexico
and Vandalia Census Supervisor
Barnes states that the new factories
in these two towns are the principal
factors in the growth which is larg-
er than the census figures show.
Mr.. Barnes states that in 1901
and 1902 there was a large exodus
from this county to Arkansas, Can
ada and other parts OF the country
that were being widely-advertised
as ''the lands Of plenty" and that
the increase in population has been
quite a bit more than the figures
show.
He also states that race suicide is
no longer theory but is a condi-
ton In Audrain. This he believes is
another reason the increase has not
been more rapid.
Under the caption, What Ails Mis-
souri," the New York Tribune says
editorially to-day:
"The matter with Missouri seems
to be that growth in population out
side the large cities is at stand
still. st. Louis and Kansas City to-
gether gained 196,42O inhabitants be.
tween 1900 and 1910 The rest of
the state lost nearly ten thousand.
"Missouri's census indicates even
more plainly than Mbchigan's did
that the Middle West has passed
the period of unchecked agrlcultur-
al development, and will get its
second growth only when it be-
gins to supplement agriculture with
manufacturing.

THE Audrain County Court, as indi-
Gated by the Ledger, has been in fav'
or Of submitting the proposition TO
the voters of Audrain county regard
ing the Highway Engineer. The only
point was the Court favored the sub
mitting of this proposition at the
regular election and i'm this way save
the expense of a special election. The
voters of the county will have a
chance at the November election to
vote their sentiments on this mat
ter. AS far as the Ledger is concern
ed, we have not changed our mind.
We think the Highway Engineer one
Of the most important offices in the
county. The question of good roads
is of as much interest to the peo'
pie Of Audrain county generally as TO
those i'm any county in the United
States. There is just as much need
for the Highway Engineer as there
Is for a street commissioner or for
the head Of any department where
public money is to be expended. the
people of Audrain were never more
interested in better roads than they
are to-day. Are we going backward
or forward?

WE believe that the voters Of Au-
u'sn county are heartily in favor of
new jail and new county infirmary.
There seems to be some difference of
qHlon as to how much money
should bo spent on each OF these
propositions, 1t would be impossible
70 appropriate the money in such a
way as 10 be satisfactory to every
body Some think more money shoul
% placed IN the inflrmary than in
de Jail; while others think the Jail
IN connection with the Sheriff's res
utnce should cost materially more
.lan the infirmary. The County
Vonrt has made estimates and Is Of
course submitting the proposition
which appeals to the Court as the
SlSest In all particulars.
Mexico weekly ledger. (Mexico, Mo.) 1855-1956, 1910-10-06

THE proposition to bud a new
county jail and infirmary should
have the cordial endorsement of all
the taxpayers in Audrain county.
The County Court will expend the
money as economically as possible,
and not cent more will be
spent on the jail than is absolutely
necessary. These two buildings are
very badly needed. The Jail is not
only too small, but is unsafe and un
sanitary, while the "shacks' ait the
county poor farm are disgrace to
the county. Let us make this vote
unanimous.

these attacks were frank and open, 1t
would be different but no charges are
made against the distinguished can
didate except by insinuations. The
average voter feels if there is to be
a fight, II should be in the open,
frank and above board. Why are
all OF the candidates jumping ON Fran

think that Francis is the ''under dog.
