an anarchist had thrown bomb in
to the crowd 1t couldn' t have created
much more CONSERVATION. Shrieks
and protests drowned anything else
young Nations might have said,
during which Mr.. Marshall silently
disappeared.
MIR. Rozier, who had been made
permanent chairman of the meeting,
arose in the midst Of the confusion,
and declared the discussion all out
OF order, in the course of which he
intimated that some people think
they have a corner on all intelli-
gence. Young Nations took this to
be direct thrust at him, and he re-
tOrted that the chairman was so
prone to interrupt speakers and to
make all the speeches himself that
he seemed to think he had cornered
all the intelligence, but if he would
recall some of his political adversi-
ties In St. Louis few years ago his
mind might be quickly disabused.
Myl it was sizzling! but why
dwell on painful details. / might
remark in passing, however, that il
our genial young Congressman had
been present he would have been
forced to revise his summing up Of
the conditions in this district, "that
there are no insurgents in the Thir-
teenth district"
The meeting selected the follow
ing persons ms the proper candidates
FOL the Republican voters to vote
for at the primary: DIR. NJ. II. Top
ping for State Senator; H. b. Led
better for Representative; John
Marshall for Presiding Justice Of
the County Court; Thomas X. Bar
nett for Associate Justice in the
First district; VIM. f. Thomas for
Associate Justice in the Second
district; Barton II. Boyer for Pros
ecuting Attorney, and probably
others.
The three men for County Jus.
tees are strangely located geograph-
ically. Mr.. Marshall and Judge
Barnett both live in Bonnie Terre,
and Mr.. Thomas lives only n few
miles away. DR.. Topping, who was
Endorsed for State Senator, was Il
member of the Flat River insurgent
delegation, and 1t is reported that
he will not enter the race for that
office, but that he might have con-
sidered favorably an Endorsement
for Congress. 1t has been suggested
that DR.. Topping's Endorsement was
tender to the Flat River insur-
gents to mollify them for the "set
down. given their man for Presid-
ing County Justice, Mayor Henry
Rinke of Flat River, and indorsing
Marshall instead; and that Rinke's
friends will pay no attention to the
meetings. deliberate snub, but will
proceed to nominate him at the pri-
mary election.

The Southeast Missouri Base Ball
League opens the 1910 season at
Pennington on saturday, June llth,
at Woodland Park, and Pennington
will play two games with Frederick
town Saturday and Sunday, the
18th and 18th. Bismarck at Flat
River aud lockwood at Bonnie Trrrc
will open the season ON the same
date.
Pennington enters the league this
year with one OF the strongest teams
that has ever represented her on the
diamond. While there will be sew
eral old faces in the lineup, the
team has added two new infielders,
"A new catcher and two pitchers,
which with the old regulars will
make formidable aggregation.
Fredericktown has vastly improved
its team also, and the games to he
pulled off at Woodland Park on June
llth and 18th ought to prove very
exciting.

The Times has made arrange
ments to present three libraries of
standard agricultural works to n
like number of school districts in
st. Francois county on n COMPETE
tive or voting contest plan. The
plan is fully set forth on the fifth
page of this paper, together with
the list of books and their authors,
and the number contained in each
of the separate libraries. The i'm
petus that is being given to the
teaching of agriculture us well rs
other branches of education in our
public schools, makes such a Ii
brary au invaluable adjunct to any
school district, and is splendid
foundation for a school district Ii.
brary to be added to along other
lines of science, history and liter.
AZURE. And the beauty of this plan
is, that the libraries are given to
the three districts most successful
in the competition. The board of
directors and the clerks of every
school district in the county should
take this matter up in earnest and
show their progressiveness along
the line of education, of dignifying
the calling of farming and showing
their boys the advantages of stick
ing to the farm aud the indie
pendence of the calling. Read the
plan of the contest over carefully,
how votes are to be secured, and
take the matter up aud push it.
Let each district show itself wide
awake, progressive and intelligent.
Begin at once and send in the name
of your district as a competitor for
these libraries.

A recent hailstorm in Cape Girar-

wheat crop on thirty-five acres be-
longing to Frank Drum. The Mod

prepared the ground for replanting.
Col David Putnam, who is ninety

If the increase in the output OF
gold, the standard of the world 5
money. which has naturally made
money more plentiful and given us
a cheaper dollar, is alone the cause
of present high prices and high
cost of living, rs President TAFT
and some of the other special priv
ilcge class would have Us believe,
why is it that the wages Of labor
haven't gone mp correspOndngIy
with the prices of other commodl-
ties? Dunn 5 Commercial Agency
estimates that the cost of living
has increased 40 per cent in twelve
years. and the Bureau of Labor,
Department of Commerce, says that
wages have increased only ~ per
cent in that matter. There must
be something wrong with Presi'
dent Taft's logic.

The only sort Of Tariff Commits.
sion this country needs is n Con-
gress that will revise the tariff with
some regard for the interests OF
the consumer and not altogether in
the interest of Special Privilege,
and there is fair prospects that the
Democrats will elect such a Con-
gress this fall. At least We think
they will elect House Of Repre-
sentatives of that kind, though it
may take few years to weed out
the Special Privilege representa-
tives in the Senate.

WHERE THE MIND GETS BUSY.

Perhaps this explains the conduct OF
physicians in giving patients in some in
Stances merely sugar and water as medi-
cine. pretending the while TO be administer
hg real cures. doctor oftentimes can
practise such deceptions and lead patients
70 believe that they are being greatly bene-
fted
some physicians will diagnose a simple
case as one OF great danger. For example,
patient suffering from bronchitis or
e0lnsy Or any Of a number of minor dis
seses that may affect the throat visits a
eoctor who has more cunning than con-
9clenee The case is diagnosed as diph-
'neTls- Or some other serious nalady. Of
course, the doctor succeeds in effecting a
cure and the patient marvels at the eff
cecy % OF the treatment he has received.

trends, but this does not measure all the

It has been asserted that certain medical
practitioners are ever ready TO laud any one
who makes a discovery that will advance
the science of their profession. If at the
same time it results in producing more
business for them On the other hand, II
has been said, If such a discovery were TO
tniure the practice from monetary stand
point it would be absolutely ignored In
other words some doctors will grasp at an
opportunity to use more efficient methods
of practising the profession If their pockets
will benefit as a result, but otherwise they
will remain content with the knowledge
they already have.

Instances might be quoted of humbuggery

whatever to do with proprietary medicines
Ihere are cases on record, however, where
physicians have, for a consideration. given

a practitioner wrote an article on obe-

OF the article appeared praise of a certain

gave any physician who agreed to the
proposition personal interest in the busi-
