The Frisco Railroad Scholarships
to the Winter Short Course in Agri-
culture at the State University, at
Columbia last winter created such an
interest among the young men of
these counties that the Frisco has de-
cided to offer these scholarships
again this year. They therefore an
nounce that they will offera scholar
ship OF 500 in cash in each of the
forty-five counties of Missouri through
which their lines extend to the Winter
Course at the College Of Agriculture
next winter. These scholarships
consist of 500 each in cash which

that the winner will have an oppor

The G. O. p. and the South.

Appeals to the South, similar to the
one. Secretary Franklin MacVeagh
made before the South Carolina Bank
ers' Association at Summerville, S.
c., have been going on since Presi:
dent Hayes time. They have been
useless in the past and will continue
useless IN the future so long as the
Republican party ignores the great
distinctive problems by which the
South is confronted.
The day may come when assurances
will be given that that the people of
the South will not be sacrificed to
black rule and when there will be a
breaking away from the party to
which they are now devoted in such
overwhelming number. Until that
day there will be no upbuilding Of a
white Republican party in the South.
Candor compels the admission that
the day doesn't seem very near. The
plan to reduce the representation of
the Southern States in Congress and
the Electoral College comes up too
frequently. Republicans are still too
eager to attach force bill" provisions
! to publicity bills and measures for the
popular election Of Senators.
The South b not unmindful of the
great benefits Of two-party rule, but
until those benefits can be obtained
without the sacrifice Of benefits Of
much more vital importance political
conditions win remain exactly as they
