Country Papers as Teachers.

The editor of a country news
paper holds a responsible posi-
ton. In fact, it is about the
most responsible of all the pro-
fessions. He addresses at least
5000 persons each week. and
some of them reach as many as
10000. They are silent auditors.
yet the influence the paper has
over its supporters and admirers
is truly of interest. The editor
may never known fact, never
will knoW-the extent of his in
tluence either for good or bad.
The careful editor gives the peo-
pie that which is beneficial to
their uplift: the careless editor
plunges into anything that ap-
pears to make his paper fiery.
peppery and caustic. The sensi-
BILE editor and publisher weighs
every line that enters the col
umns of his paper and places be-
hind it all personality that wins
in the end.-American Bulletin.
Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1911-03-01
Governor Hadley and Home Rule.

Governor Hadley endeavored
to eliminate the home rule pro
position from party politics by
fostering the suggestions of a
nonpartisan committee appoint
ed by him to offer measures for
restoring to the people in the
cities authority to select excise
and police commissioners. But
he has never favored the selec-
ton or election of election com
missioners by cities, holding that
the people Of the state at large
are as much interested in the
conduct of elections in the cities
as are the people of the cities.
He has proposed bipartisan
boards-bOards composed of two
Republicans and two Democrats.
He does not favor the election of
police and excise commissioners,
believing that the election of such
officials in the cities would mean
a saturnalia of vice and evils, be-
cause the baser elements in the
cities would combine to elect men
who would not enforce the laws
of the state. He would keep the
police and excise departments
under proper restraint, so that
the interests of the state may be
conserved in any emergency.
The Democratic home rule bills
practically turn over to the cities
control of all police, excise and

The decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission against
the railroads, by which the latter
are denied authority to establish
a general raise in freight rates,
is full of significance of other
things than what is set forth in
the simple terms of the ruling.
The great point involved, as must
be apparent to all who are OBJ
servant of trend of the times, is
not whether the railroads can
or cannot continue to conduct
their business profitably under
the rates now in force, but
it involves the whole principle of
the rights of private property
over the interests and welfare of
the public. The time is only re-
mote few years when the rail
roads fixed their rates as they
pleased, and under the theory
of the absolutism of private
property rights scorned public
interference. Now we have just
seen the people, through their
constituted officers, deny a con-
tinuation of this privilege, and
thus upset principle that has
prevailed throughout human his
tory since man first assumed
private property. The step
means that public interests are
rapidly rising paramount to pri-
vate interests, the individual
must give way to the mass. In
the matter of railroads and other
instruments of public commune
cation this policy will extend
itself to ultimate public owner
ship, an event already foreseer
as an early result by practically
minded railroad organizers.

Down in the lead mining towns
of ST. Francois county there was
recently an outbreak of feeling
against the heavy influx of un-
desirable foreign labor, resulting
in rioting and one or two deaths.
Things are quietOr there now,
but the trouble may be renewed
at any time. We have immigra-
tions laws to prevent this class
of people from landing on our
shores, yet our gates are open
on the east to the undesirable
hordes from Europe and on the
west to those of China and Japan.
Why don't the immigrations laws
fulfill their purpose: Modern
commercialism! The spirit of
business is ruthless and at the
demand of profit will override
every sentiment of patriotism,
loyalty and justice. American
ism asks that these people
shall stay away, commercialism
demands that the ways shall be
opened to them, cOmmercialism
wins. Why does it win: 1t has
the ear of those we delegate to
make and enforce the laws. The
people ask, commercialism de-
mands; result, anti foreigner
riots on one hand, multimillion-
aires and plutocracy on the
other. 1t can only be changed
when the people demand instead
of plead.

family fortunes by sloshing soil
ed linen around in the suds. In
the second generation the man
may still be in the railroad busi-
ness. but he sits in a padded
chair in sumptuous quarters and
directs an army of tie tampers
such as his father was, while the
wife does society stunts, acquires
a madewhile- youwait coat of
arms and assumes an air of hau-
teur over the common people. "
The third generation has meta
morphosed quite aristocratic, the
tie-tamping and linen slo oshing
grandparents are forgotten or
idealized as patriots. The daugh-
ters seek alliances with the brok-
en- down nobility of Europe and
make the transition complete.

critical as only an opinion, more
or less genuinely held. HI
quotes some figures which are al
least worthy Of consideration.
The figures tend to show-a1
least, he presents them with tha,
lntent-that Missouri is not get
ting out of the railroads the tax
es it should and which adjacent
states succeed in getting. He
claims that railroads are assessed
for taxation at much lower pro
rata of their actual value than
are other classes of property,
and lower than they are assessed
in other states.
For instance. he says that the
Missouri Pacific is assessed S15,-
900 per mile in Missouri and
S33, 900 in Kansas. Anybody who
has ridden on that line in Kansas
will readily admit that the road
in Missouri is fully as we'll con
structed.
He says that the Frisco Line
along the Kansas border in this
state is valued at $4,000 a mile,
and across the border in Kansas
at S27, 200. He also says that the
Chicago 4 Alton values its road
for six per cent dividend pur-
poses at S122, 900 per mile, but in
Missouri it is valued for assess
ment at $4,000.
Perhaps Colonel Phelps will go
a little further, and tell US wheth-
er he believes all the tiimt1am-
ing involved in these figures has
been done by the railroads. AS
sessment valuations are not fixed
by the railroads, at least not Of
ticially. What does he know
about this line Of inquiry:
We have just been having some
physical valuations of public
utilities properties in ST. Louis,
with good results. Perhaps a |
like physical valuation of rail
roads might be helpful, is not in
the fixing of passenger and |
freight rates, than in the matter
of establishing values for tax

Who's Been Flimflamming.

Col. Bill Phelps says that Mis-
souri, is fiimtiammed by the rail

For years Colonel Phelps was a
Legislative agent for the railroads,

influence, passes and other inn
pediamenta that name implies,
and his fund of information on
the subject of flimflamming must
be plethoric.

Old Custom Survives.

Uckfeld has just held its annual pea
supper, a function which owes its
origin to practical joke. Fifteen
years ago plot of land belonging to
a resident became. ON account of it's
neglected state, such an eyesore to
his fellow-townsmen that they took
the matter into their own hands and
dug 1t up. The owner resolved to
profit by their labor and plant the
field, but on his next visit to the spot
he found to his annoyance, that 1t had
already been sown with peas.
Soon, however. anger gave place to
amusement. and he laughingly told the
perpetrators OF the joke that they
would have to eat the peas, says Lon
don Titbits. This in due course they
did, and from that day the celebration
has grown yearly in popularity Over
80 sat down a week back to a capital
rspast OF peas, bacon and other excel
lent fare.
