ELECTION of senators by direct
vote of the people, which is now
held up in congress by an amend
ment supported by Bristow of
Kansas and the entire group OF
special privilege servers in the SEN
ate, is distinctly a Democratic
proposition. The report of the
proceedings of the Republican

on including in the platform a de-
mand for the election of senators

In an able editorial from the
Post Dispatch, printed on the first
page of this paper last week, is
this paragraph:
No man or set of men can be en-
trusted with the control of the
money power and of credits. The
power will be abused to help
friends and ruin enemies; to feed
greed and grudge at the sacrifice
of the public and must be de-
stroyed.
True as Holy Writ. The fight
against this money-power had its
elimination in 1896. Money won
then, and the evil results of its
victory are beyond the telling.
Maybe, some time, Money will
lose; but it hasn't up to this
writing.

THE Democratic free list bill in
Congress simply means that the
farmer will get his vehicles, farm
tools, wire fencing, harness and
shoes for less money. Is not that
a good thing?

THE Democrats are sincere in
their efforts to run the House of
Representatives on an economical
business basis. The report of Jer-
ry South, the chief clerk of the
House, just made public, shows
that during the month of June a
saving of S8,561.90 was effected as
a result of the abolishing of USE
less offices. This item, which does
not include the big reduction on
the police force which the senate
has not yet concurred in but will
approve shortly, means a saving
Of S102, 1890 in a year. This is
not a stupendous sum, it is true,
but the spirit is in striking con-
trast to the S35 wastepaper baskets
in the offices of Postma ster Cen
eral Hitchcock and the expensive
recreations taken by the Aldrich
monetary commission at public
expense at Narragansett pier.

The Wisconsin Legislature has
passed a law having for it's pur-
pose the abolition of "log-rolling''
or vote swapping in the enactment
of state laws. This law provides
that any member who agrees to
support the bill of another member
on condition of receiving help for
his own bill will be guilty of a fell
ony and subject to imprisonment
or fine. A penalty is also pro-
vided for a member of the legisla-
ture who agrees to support or OPP
pose a bill on condition that the
governor approve or veto any par
ticular measure, or that the COVER
nor shall appoint or remove any
person from public Office. The
adoption of such a law in Missouri
would play havoc with several
pap-sucking communities in this
state. Every session sees the mem
bers from the various sections
seeking appropriations banded to-
gether in close communion. They
stand by each other and the tax
payer foots the bills.

SAFE TRAVEL

Railroad travel is becoming safer
every year. Figures compiled by
statisticians of the Hartman lines
show that during the calendar year
1910 not single passenger was
killed on the Union Pacific, the
Southern Pacific, or the Mexican
branch of the Southern Pacific, cover
ing a total of T., $50 miles. During
the period, more than 100000, 600
persons were carried on the lines.
Unusual efforts have been made
during the past few years by the
Hartman roads to reduce the num-
Der of accidents. There has been a
large increase in the number OF safety
devices employed, with the result
that the Hartman system now has
more miles of automatic block sig
nails than any other line in the world.

1t has been held in an opinion by
Attorney General W.P. Bell to the
state bureau of inspection that, al
though he does receive flat salary
a county commissioner who does not
live at the county seat is entitled to
to reasonable hotel bills. He also
holds that road machinery costing
in excess of $25O.OO may be bought
by county commissioners without
calling for competitive bids inasmuch
as machinery can be purchased in
open market and at standard prizes
so there is not much danger of pay
ing more than the required amount.

down shed, not worthy of the term

menace to the general health of the

he has positive assurance that his
grocery store will not have it's street
opening within step of tumble

he owes that much, at least, to the
health of his customers.
Physicians agree that the place
as it now stands, cannot be made
sanitary.
The removal of the barn means
fewer flies this summer, resulting ir
smaller fees for the doctors, fewer
cases of typhoid.
The removal of the barn will
mean the immediate construction
