Announcement.

Fully appreciating the fact that
tuberculosis is the cause of the
death of more people than any
other disease and believing that
popular education is the most eff
fective method of combating it's
spread, the Medical society of
Montgomery county will hold a
public meeting at the court house
in Montgomery City on Thurs
day, Feb. 8, at l o'clock p. m.
An excellent program dealing
with this subject has been pre-
pared and will be rendered by
members Of the society. DR.. o. III.
Brown Of st. Louis, formerly in
charge of the State Sanitarium for
tubercular patients at Mt. Vernon,
will be present and will also de-
liver an address on this subject.
The public is cordially invited to
attend this meeting, and the en-
tire profession of the county is
urged to attend and take part in
the discussion.
The time has come when the
hopeless view and unsatisfactory
methods of treatment of the past
must give away to more modern
views and methods. AS it is es-
sential to the public good that
every man. woman and child be
informed regarding the simpler
methods used in preventing the
spread of the infection it is de-
sirable that as many of our citi-
zens as can do so attend this meet
ing.

EQUALITY.

In the year 1882 an elderly
couple, peacefully sleeping in their
four-poster. were one morning
roughly aroused at an early hour
by their excited maid-servant, who,
bursting into the room, bawled out {:
"Tt's passed! It's passed !" Ex-
tremely annoyed, the old lady called
out from inside the bed curtains: |:
Whats passed, you fool?" '"The
reform BILL" shouted the girl, "and
we're all equal now Prom "How
to Be Happy though Civil" by the
Rev. Z. J. Hardy. (Fisher Unwin.) }

STANDS FOR PRINCIPLES.
Hon. Joseph w. Folk on Saturday,
Gave the following Statement
to the Press.

"There has been so much mis-
leading speculation in reference
to my position ON the senatorship
that it becomes necessary to de-
fine my position. | say frankly
that the senatorial race has not
been attractive to me, and / have
not been inclined to enter that
contest. The only reason that
could induce me to ask the nomi-
nation would be the conclusion
that it is essential in order to
keep up the fight for the Demo-
cratic principles / have been ad-
v0cating.
Under no circumstances will |
quit the fight for these Democratic
ideals; on the contrary, / shall
battle for them as long as | have
life and strength to do so. |
have felt L. could advance these
principles better as / am now stu
ated than 1 possibly could in a
strenuous party contest for NOM
ination, and have not so far en-
couraged those who have asked
that l run for Senator. The de-
mand has now become so insistent
from every part of the State that
l cannot remain silent longer
without being misunderstood.
81 will not desert those who
have fought with me for the prin-
ciples of Democracy that l con-
slider paramount to my own inter
ests and to my own advancement.
j will keep the faith and if after
due consideration it is thought
advisable, will make the fight as
best l can for whatever official
position it is believed these prin-
ciples demand"
AS neither Francis or. Reed
stand for the Folk ideals or prin-
,ciples it is probable that Folk will
announce his candidacy.
From a strictly partisan point
of view we would prefer to see
Gov. Folk stay out of the Senator
ial race. Both Francis and Reed
are cold Generals" and if Mr..
Folk is not a candidate the people
of the state will have an oppor-
tunity to hand the cold Gen
erals" just what is coming. AS
little as Francis and Reed seem to
realize it, Folk is the only hope Of
the Democratic party in Missouri.
No one of either party can truth
fully say that Joseph w. Folk is
not great man, and man Of
exalted ideals and good moral
principles. Candidly, we believe
him to be the very best presiden-
tial timber possessed by the
Democratic party today. The
"Old Generals" however has,
him, for the good he has done.
and will do all in their power to
down him. That was and is the
whole purpose of the many al
legged harmony meetings.

PUBLIC OPINION AND WAR.

Most people of prophetic turn Of
mind on the subject Of possible
clash between the United States and
Japan have counted Japan as the az
gressor but the late French Admiral,
FOurnier, whose memoirs have just
been published, is recorded as saying
that the melting cause of such war
IL likely TO be the result of popular
irritation in America over Japan's de-
mands or conflicting interests.
The French critic is quite right in
describing irritation Of the public in
this country as factor in future as
in the past wars. Such irritation OF
= part of the people-not including
tho New Englanders brought on the
war Of 1872; had much TO do with the
Civil War, which harked back lineally
to the anti-slavery movement; and had
altogether to do, despite the conserva-
sion Of the government, with the pre-.
cipitation Of the Spanish War. Public
opinion in any free country is an ex.
plesive factor. II put the statesman.
ship Of England to the test last year
to prevent war with Germany; and
tho Kaiser's prestige was sorely shak.
eA mt home when he dared popular
irritation by the incautious way he
went about averting such a crisis.
Happily for the peace Of the Pacific,
Japan is and has been most cautious
in her attitude with America and is
likely to continue 80. She does not
want a war with the United States.
