by that party: Is there any call
upon the Governor to legalize
this attempted steal Of political
power except from no 5 e
who expect to share in the loot:
The Governor would be guilty
of an unconscionable betrayal of
public confidence were he to ap-
prove the Major Roach redis-
tricting scheme. He, however,
stands ready to submit the ques-
ton of how the districts shall be
formed to the people under the
initiative and referendum, a law
passed by a Democratic legisla-
ture to give the people the ulti
mate power where their delegat-
ed representatives abuse their
authority. But now that this
law is about to be applied in the
correction of a Democratic par
tisan outrage, the leaders of that
party will leave no stone unturn
ed to defeat the submission of
the question at the general cleo
ton in 1912. They fear to let
tn cir cause 60 before the
popular tribunal. To get and
hold office through a steal of po
litical power is to the Democratic
leaders in Missouri merely con-
ventional offence: in fact, it has
become with them so fixed a habit
that they have long regarded it
as right. VIM. J. Stone preen-
es himself in Washington as
United States senator from Mis-
souri, under this dubious title.

ated for that office by his party

ponent, John c. Mckinley

police as having light hair and

would recognize him on sight,
and the man proving to possess

the witnesses unable to recog-

More frequent, however, than
failure to identify the right per-
son, is the wrong Identification
of the wrong one. Serious
trouble, even to loss of life, has
followed positive Identification of

Nevertheless, the practitioner,
having been summoned, put in
his bill for $40 for services
time consumed in making the
trip. The farmer considered
the charge unjust and declined
to pay.

ed to sue, and, rather than be
hauled into court, the farmer
agreed to settle. Ready cash
being scarce with the debtor,
he suggested that his creditor
accept a half interest in q fat
mich COW on the premises.
When the latter learned there
was no way of extracting the
currency from the client, he
gave his consent, and the pa

the animal were forwarded to
him. The farmer was to re-
tain the COW and milk her,
and the practitioner, as he
believed, would receive divi-
dends on his Investment from
time to time as the proceeds
of the sale of the milk, the
butter and the cream.
At the close of six months the
practitioner, instead, received a
bill for $40 for COW feed. How
is this:" he wrote his partner.
Instead of a remittance for
milk and butter sold, get bill
$40" Wrote the farmer in reply.
"Say, partner, just you read over
again them papers once more.
You pay for the COW feed be-
cause you bought in the front
half of the COW; the dividends are
for mel own the back half,

from. And when you start in

agricultural man for $40 he don't
owe, phone me up.''-Judge.

paper published by Rev. J. r.
Burlington. pastor Of the Potosi
Metodist church:
The number of young men in
Potosi doing nothing and living
off of we know not whom or what
is surprising. There is enough
muscle going to waste in this
community to aid very consider
bly, in completing the Panama
canal.
A fair shot: but probably those
to whom it applies will answer
it by saying that it is their own
affair whether they work or not,
as long as they themselves are
content with their lot and to live
as they may. But is it: has So
ciety no vital interest in their
idleness? Let US see. For the
sake of argument we will assume
that the proportion of ldlers to
the workers is one in ten. That
means that nine men in the com
munity must give one hour Of
their time each working day to
support the idler: or. if the latter
took up his share of the burden
of providing the means of sub
sistence and shelter, nine men
would be enabled to get their
share by so much less expense
of human energy and vitality.
Multiply this single instance
ten hundred thousand times and
we have an approximate idea of
how the idler piles up the bur
den of the worker in our own
country alone. Some species of
insects seem to require the pres
ence of the male drone in their
scheme of life, but they show
their wisdom in dealing with
him be holding his number down
to the lowest minimum. In the
human scheme of affairs social
science has discovered no place
of necessity for the young and
able bodied male drone. The
doctrine of socialism land pecu-

only solution of the problem,
viz:-whO would eat must also
serve. 1t takes away the sole
excuse of the capable and able
bodied male idler by providing
him with the opportunity of
serving. Meanwhile. We worker
hereabouts, gaze upon the idler
and consider seriously whether
he has any right, title, interest or
claim to one hour of YOUR Serv-
