A REPRESENTA- 1--WE OF Jne
Mexico Brick Company while in Chi
cago this week contracted for one
third of its output for twelve
months with the United States Steel
Corporation, which is a minimum of
four millions brick. We understand
that the output for at least six
months has been sold, and that it
will keep the boys hustling to fill
orders. There is no question but
what the Mexico Brick Company is
going to be one of the biggest con-
Germs of the kind in Missouri, and
will pay out thousands of dollars ev-
cry year for labor. The affairs of
this organization were never in bet
ter shape, and the business is be-
ing handled in such a way as to
bring a large amount Of money to
Mexico. We congratulate the man
agement of this institution on il
success, and We trust that very short
ly arrangements car be made so
that its capacity may be largely in
creased. Mexico has the clay and
the labor, and there is a splendid
demand for this product. 1t can be
made better and cheaper in Mexico
than anywhere else. The fact that
the Mexico brick are being used
in its highest grade work by the
United States Steel Corporation is
conclusive proof that they are equal
10 any other brick made in the Unit
ed States.

THE Joplin, Mo-, Globe con.
tains a most interesting two col
umn editorial, showing clearly that
It is the duty of the press to crit
icise public officials wherever they
deserve 1t. There are people in
this part OF the country who
throw fits" when a newspaper even
criitcises a night police. no matter
how much he may deserve It. The
Globe inclosing its editorial says:
What the people r concerned with
In a public official is not his po-
litical principles or professions, but
what he does. And It should be
borne in mind that official honesty
or dishonesty is not necessarily and
always a matter of dollars. We be-
lieve we are on the side of the
big majority in saying that the Of
ficial act which does a grave injus-
tice to a worthy citizen is official
dishonesty; in any event 1t is, in
the judgment of the Globe, official
culpability demanding criticism. The
official action that puts notorious. in
competency in appointive places, is,
as we see 1t, official dishonesty in
that it is not dealing fairly with
the public. The public official who
would defeat a great public better
ment, for example, on the grounds
of political partisanship, is guilty
of official dishonesty in that he is
faithless to his sworn obligation en-
tailed in his oath of office. The of
ficial who opposes a wholesome
measure and supports a question
able enterprise because of sub
stantial inducement from the lat
ter, is guilty in the dollar sense.
He is a CRATER, but the grafter's dis
honesty differs from the official dis
honesty we have described in de-
gree rather than in kind. Where
fore, newspapers criticise. 1t is
not always pleasant. In fact it is
ordinarily unpleasant. If a news
paper lodged its obligation to the
public entirely it would never criti-
else. Or if it doesn't play fair
with the public the newspaper can
evade the charge of being vacuous
by criticising dishonesty; some,
times for hire; sometimes for mere
effect. And newspapers, as we all
know, are criticised. The Globe has
been criticised ~deservedly in some in
stances; dishonesty in some in
stances; sometimes intelligently
sometimes stupidity. Such criti-
cism will continue. We hope to
profit by honest and intelligent crit
cism just as we know we shall not
be terrified or deferred by dishon-
est or stupid criticism. And in the
doing of the days work let 1t be
that whether they be jan
itors or bank presidents. they all
look alike to u.s."

this city, one of Mexico's Oldest res
i1ents, died Saturday morning at
1880 O'Clock, afteran illness Of a
week. The direct cause Of his
death was kidney trouble. He died
at the home Of his sister. Mrs.
Pate Morris, in w. Mexico. The
funeral services we're held

byterian church. The Rev. A. A.

ministration of Gov. crIttenden, hav-
ing been elected TO that office in
1881. He served one term. Later
he represented Cole county In the

was a captain during the wal and
served throughout the hostilities. At

Nancy Grant, of San Jose, Cal,
and Mrs. Pate Morris. of this city.

Gen. Mcintyre was a most esti-
mable man and beloved by all who
knew him. For years he has been
without his sight, but as familiar as
he was with the city, he had little
trouble finding his way without as
sistance. He was a man Of sterl-
ing character and brilliant mind.
In the past few years he has been
in very poor health and his death
was expected at any time.
