The city with water works and
sewerage system and a day electric
current has quite q lead on the
town without them. These evil
dences of progress induce more
labor employing institutions, give
the residents many more cOnven-
fences, make the town more healthy
and better in every respect. Mark
it down that Monroe City is going
to put in a Water Works and Sew
erage system and a day electric
current and then will become the
best inland town in Northeast Mis-
souri,. Get ready for it. Get en-
thusiastic and help hasten the day
when this will be the best town in
this vicinity. There are many en-
terprises which will benefit all citi-
zens that will come to us when we
get these improvements.

Some women want Suffrage but
desire to shirk the duties imposed
on those who vote. AS an illustra-
ton ten women at Spokane, Wash,
are refusing to do jury duty unless
compelled so to do by law. Jury
service is an important one and if
men are so corrupt that in order
to have q more pure government
the women must vote. then these
women who are necessary to vote
should do jury service in order
that justice be better dealt out.

A high tariff is of benefit to the
trusts and MonopolieS. The farmer
and laboring man have to pay the
high duties but what is the real
cause for the tariff, the consumer
has to pay so much more money
than a fair and reasonable profit to
the trusts and mOnOpOlieS.

Last week issue of the Paris APP
peal continued an item in regard to
the deep we'll which Monroe City is
having drilled. The statements in
the article were expressed in a
parody on some Of the Appeal mans
old nursery rhymes and contained
very little fact and were very mis-
leading to say the least Mr.. Long,
the foreman of the work at the
deep well is very much wearied in
regard to misrepresentation con-
tanned in the article, claiming that
they are calculated to injure his
reputation as a workman and the
business of his employer. We adj
Vised Mr.. Long that this was only
a case of jealousy on the part of
the Appeal man who ordinarily is
a harmless individual whom no
one takes very seriously especially
when he sees neighboring towns
forging to the front with business
enterprises, while his home town
remains moss grown and inactive.
Of course the Appeal becomes
green with envy when it sees Mon
roe pass on with the procession and
in its desperation it seizes every
opportunity to make light of our
enterprises. 1t even had the monu-
mental gall some time ago to ad-
wise Monroe City what, how and
when to do things. Now we tried to
explain to Mr.. Long the whole
situation but we do think the APP
peal in its determination to swat
Monroe City should be careful not
to injure individuals.
Lamar is short on children, long

How the meat market ever sells

of a mystery. Every vacant lot is
covered by a herd of 2-legged feath-

full of them. They adOrn the lawns,
they wallow in the flower beds and
they gallivant about the gardens.
They invade the back pOrches, and
bask in the shade of the grape

their way into the cellars, and the

APPEAL TO
DEMOCRATS
A Contribution from Every Demo-
crat Will Insure a Safe Return
to Democratic Control of
State.


ic State Committee, held at Jeffer-
son City, June 20. 1911, a resolution
was adopted, naming B. H. Rucker,
chairman of the executive COM
mittee. A. L. Harty, secretary of the
state committee, and j. A. Shannon
state chairman, as a committee on
organization for the national and
state campaign of 1912. In COM
pliance with this resolution, the
undersigned met at state head
quarters, Midland Building, Kansas
City, July II. and concluded that
the first step in organizing was to
issue this appeal to the individual
Democrats of the state,
Under the law, the new state
committee. elected at the primaries
next year, cannot complete its
organization for the gubernat orial
and the presidential election of
1912, until about the first of Octo-
Der, 1912, almost the eve of the
election. This is a serious defect
in the law and makes it almost inn
possible for the new committee to
do effective work unless aided by
the present committee.
To make an effective national
and state campaign, it is absolutely
necessary to have sufficient funds
to defray the expenses that are I'M
avoidable if the campaign is to be
properly conducted.
1t will be impossible for the new
state committee to render proper
service without sufficient funds to
defray the expenses attendant up
on a campaign and as the new
state committee will not have
sufficient time to raise the neces-
sary funds, we must raise the mon
ey for it.
We have gotten the consent of
the Honorable Alexander M. Dock
cry of Gallatin, Missouri, to act as
treasurer and to him all money
collected shall be sent. and such
money will remain in his hands,
subject only to the order of the
new state committee which is to be
elected in 1912. 1t is needless to
dwell upon the Importance of the
election of 1912. A presidential as
well as state ticket, may depend
upon the vote OF Missouri. A few
votes may change the result and
hence a complete organization is
absolutely necessary.
To give some idea of the maeni-
tude of the expenses connected with
campaign, a few items will suffice
A single letter addressed to each
voter of this state from headQuar-
tiers will cost in postage alone in
excess of $1,000.
To properly protect the interest
of the national and state ticket, in
1912, judging from experience, it
: will be necessary for the new state
committee to give close attention
to the city of St. Louis. Should it
be necessary to poll the precints OF
that city, it will require at least SIS
precinct for the 400 precincts,
which will be $1,000. There are
four days of registration; two watch
ers for each precinct at So per day,
would roll up a total of $780,
Election day, two men for each
precinct, as watchers and challeng-
J ers at So each, total $2,400, making
! grand total of $4,000. This OF
course, does not include postage,
vehicles and the numerous other
requirements for a proper polling
and registration of the voters of a
large city. 1t is safe to say that
this one item of the new state com.
; mittee's expenses will exceed $15,-
600.

Our advice to all young men and
boys would be, try and save a few
dollars of your salary every month,
put it away at interest, or make
some investment that will earn you
money in time, and you will be
surprised at how soon you will have
bank account worth mentioning.
Don't blow in all your hard earned
cash, and then complain there's no
show in this day and age of the
world for a young man to get
start in life. The opportunities are
just as great and numerous now as
they ever were for the young man
with energy, and pluck, and de-
termination to make a success in
life. But the young man should al
so remember, that if he squanders
and blows in all his salary each
month, that there will be no show
for him in the declining years of
his life. And to us it seems that
this should be the ambition of every
good citizen. and, besides, no man
wants to work all of his life on the
salary basis, for as long as we work
for other people. we are more or
less dependent upon them, and
every young man should look for
ward to the day when he will have
some kind of business of his own
and be his own boss, but you can
never do this unless you save your
money i'm tie early days of your
life, and before you have a family
on your hands to support Arm

Early Combines end Corners.
 "Engrossing" was an offense punish able in England by fine and imprison- ment. and the laws against it struck at those-called "engrosSprs" who plan ned to gain control over necessities, such as grain or foodstuffs in consid- erable quantities. either by purchase or otherwise, with the intention of raising prices. The statute book holds quite a series of enactments designed to pre- vent anything in the nature of what we know as "corner" or combine" !" "Regrating" was criminal offense, and so was 'forestalling." The former consisted of buying and selling the same day in the same market or near 1t, and the latter implied the purchase of merchandise on the way to market or before the hour at which the market commenced with the intention of sell ing at profit, while it was also fore stalling" to circulate rumors calculated to raise the prices of commodities. Though these laws have fallen into desuetude. they were in force in our grandfathers' time.-London Mail.

MANUEL LEADING ATTACK.
Opposed Ruler Has Rallied 10000 Men to Support Monarchist Move
 ment In Portugal.

That Manuel is personally directing the campaign to reseat himself on the throne of Portugal is asserted by>a son of Homen Cristo. the Portuguese mon archist and publicist. r
 The deposed monarch, Cristo says, has offered to lead the monarchist troops, has contributed one-third of his fortune to the monarchist cause and has rallied 10000 men to his sup port.
 Cristo adds that if the arms seized aboard the steamer Comma and at the railway station at orenze, Spain, had been allowed to reach the monarchists the war of restoration would have be- gun two days later.
 The Italian court especially and the German court favor the restoration of, the monarchy, according to Cristo, but France is supporting the republic.

Modern Maps.

There are Egyptian maps dating from 400 B. C., but in spite of this long history it has been astenishingly difficult to make progress in charts until very recent times. Errors are perpetuated; truth is forgotten; ad- vance is slow. AS late as 1900 charts of the Alaskan coast issued by the United States were said to be thirty miles wrong. and nearly all commer- cial map makers still represent noun tain chains as caterpillars, and the fringe of the shore is adorned with a blue wavy friH. AS for railroad maps, the less said the better, the great rail road map of the northern belt of the United States adorning the walls of the Broad street Pennsylvania station in Philadelphia being distorted east and west. north and south and other wise. its accuracy in large part not being over 30 per cent. yettt is a more than usually good railroad map.-En- gineering Magazine.

Some years ago a Swansea vessel was caught in a terrible gale. The captain had his wife on board. and when the wind was still rising be told her to go down below and sleep. for all was well. He remained on the bridge till the mate came up and said: We've done all we can. Hadn't you better tell the chaps to get out the boats?"
 "Yes. yes. my lad. if you think so." said the captain, who knew the only choice left was whether to go down with the ship or in a small boat, which couldn't live ten seconds in that sea. The engineers came Ui' with the news that the fires w":p all out. Very we'll. my lads" said the captain quiet ly; "save yourselves if you can"

A Trick Game.

Jennie loved to spring new games on her friends when they came to see her. so she eagerly awaited little crowd the other day, all members of her class, who invited themselves up after school. This time the new game was called fit" and "it' was a mys- tery to all the guests but three. These three were allowed to remain iu the room with Jennie. while the others were sent into the next room.
 In the game Of ''it'' each one Is call ed in in turn and is allowed to ask questions, and as soon as one catches on to ''it" she becomes one of the inner circle. and the next one is called in.
 "It" is really the person who sits on your left, but before 'it" is discovered much fun is experienced
 All in the playroom must sit in a cir cle and must not change their posi- tions during the progress of the game. When the player Is called in he is told to ask a question of whomsoever be may please. and the person must an- swer correctly.
 For example, ''Is if white7"
 As everybody present Is white, the answer is necessarily Yes"
 The questioner then asks any ques- ton. such as 'Is 1t thin?" If the one on the left of the questioner is thin the answer is in the affirmative. The ques- tioner then asks another. DO you also think 1t is thin7' And if the one seat ed on her left Is stout she answers "No." And thus the questioner is mys- tiied and must continue until he guesses "It"
 "It" should be announced as a trick game.

CARLETON'S LETTER Continued from First Page.)

Incidentally, this session isnt going to adjourn this week, though the Senate has voted to. There are too many cases of disagreeing action between the houses. Adjournment might come about the middle of August, but that would mean throwing many matters overheard at the finish.
 This Is not political correspondence, and yet many matters political entaugle themselves in matters legislative. We usually select a candidate for governor before the erd of the sesslon every two years. Lieutenant Governor BlakesIee was candidate before the session began indeed, but there are others. One hears much of Senator Peck's name in connection with the nomination of late and it is getting be settled thing that he will be on the next ticket sorne- where, if not for governor, possibly for lieutenant governor or comptroller.
 The Danbury senator is gubernatorial timber and is certainly 8 governor ship possibility, if not in 1913. then in 1915. As chairman of the. Appropria- tions committee he has filled difficult position creditably, automatically and in a manner which has resulted in great care in making appropriations with close regard for the condition of the states finances. He has not made enemies and he has made friends. and that is some accomplishment for a chairman of that committee.
