A Bad Wreck.

About 3 a. m. Monday morning a
South bound Wabash freight train
was wrecked just west of the Katy"
depot where the M. X. & T. railroad
crosses Main street. s cars left the
track and were piled promiscuOusly
on either side of the track. Some
of the cars were literally torn to
pieces. A car loaded with mineral
was broken in three pieces, one
piece landed several feet away on
the North side Of the track while
the other two parts were hurled
clear of the track on the South
side. Rails were broken like pipe
stems and great holes were torn in
the road bed.
The cause of the wreck was sup
posed to be a broken fiange. A
wrecking crew with heavy wreck
ing machinery worked all day
Christmas day and late into the
night clearing the way forss.traffic.
Fortunately no one was hurt but
besides delaying traffic for many
hours the loss to to the railroad
company will foot up many thous-
ands of dollars.

Made In Monroe.

r. L. Armstrong and A. S. Mad
dox went to st. Louis Tuesday night
to buy stock for the Monroe Cigar
Co. By the way, this may be con-
sidered a small institution" by many
but it has a pay roll every week of
about $50. Monroe City could
easily have plenty more factories
with pay roll of the same or a
larger sum. Certainly this would be
good for every citizen. Every home
institution should have the patron
age of every citizen. If you smoke
cigars by all means smoke those
made in Monroe City. They are
made by workmen who know how
and are made from the best stock
and are equal to any cigar you can
buy.
Then when you use flour, buy
the -four that is made in Monroe,
you cannot get any better regard
less of where it is made.
Then if it is a telephone you
want always patronize the home in
stitutions in preference to those
where the profits are taken to BOs-
ton. and when it comes to buying
merchandise patronize Monroe City
merchants. When you patronize
home institutions you are helping
home people to help you.

Clark.

William T. Clark died at his home
in Midland, Texas, at about 2 p. m.
Saturday. 1t is supposed he died
very suddenly as it was not known
here that he was sick. His sister,
Mrs Eddy, on receipt of message
apprising her of his condition, left
on Saturday for Midland, arriving
there after Mr.. Clark had passed
away. Mr.. Clark was we'll known
here, having spent the greater part
of his life in this vicinity. He was
about 60 years of age and leaves a
wife and one son.

Next Monday is annual settle
ment day. We would like to pay
what we owe. We could easily do
so and have small bank account
if all who owe uo E9uld pay what
is due US. We recently heard
story which illustrates the point, A
revivaiist had his congregation
standing up on several propositions,
One of these propositions was: All
who pay their debts, stand up. All
stood up except one poor fellow.
The preacher after excOriating the
man who failed to stand up on the
proposition, then asked him why he
did not pay his debts. The man
then stood up and said: | am the
editor of the local paper and all
these people are owing me The
minister hastily said: Let us sing.
Dan Sharp is usually vide awake
and proved the fact last week when
he went up to Shelbina where they
haven't been bothered with hog
cholera and bought a car load of
nice healthy hogs which he shipped
to this city and sold out to individ-
uals for butchering purposes. He
had no trouble in diSposing of the
hogs in lots of two to five hogs to
citizens who wished to put up their
meat for the year.
Mrs. j. F. Shuck sold eggs, butter
and poultry last year to the amount
of $279 80, besides what she used
at home. The Democrat will be
pleased to publish what other ladies
are doing in this line. A complete
report along these lines would show
that the ladies are doing their full
share toward making this part OF
Missouri prosperous.

LODGES and Societies.

The Democrat wants to print the
news regarding your Lodge or So.
ciety. We have no way of know
ing what is doing unless you report
to US, There are many things re-
garding your Lodge or Society
which you would like the people to
know. Let each organization ap-
point some member to furnish news
items for the Democrat. If your
organization does not receive tie
notices it should it is the fault of
the members of that society. They
are all published free except such
as are advertising something by
which your society expects to make
some money, then we must have
pay for the advertisement.
Mrs. R. T. Colborn, of Stoutsville

This is a good business, By the
way there are several fan
ciers here who are breeding pure
bred poultry. There has been
some talk of organizing and going
after business in 1912. If anything
is going to be done it should be at
tended to once in order that we
may get our stock before the peo-

money in poultry.

At a meeting of the Monroe City
Minister'S Alliance held December
26, at which the Presbyterian, Meth
odist, Christian, Grace Baptist and
First Baptist churches we're repre-
sented, the following preamble and
resolutions after careful considera-
ton were unanimously adopted.
Whereas, The temporal prosperity
of Monroe City compares favorably
with the best, and even surpasses
that of many other cities of its class,
and indicates the wise administra-
ton and heartfelt interest in the
part of our officials; and,
Whereas, In recognition of these
facts, we desire to express our graf
ification and confidence in the abil-
ity of our officials; but,
Whereas, The recent gambling
affair which has recently been
brought to light, indicates the NOR
al status of affairs in this city to be
very low; and,
Whereas, There have been GER
tain sports, such as prize fighting
and others of kindred nature re-
Gently "pulled off" in Monroe City,
which are demoralizing and hurtful
in their influence; therefore. be it
Resolved, First That we, the
members of the Monroe City Minis
ter's Alliance, acting upon the unan-
imOuS decision of our respective
churches, do earnestly warn and ad-
monish the Christian manhood of
our churches to avoid and discour-
age all such sports and evils
Resolved, Second That we re-
spectfully urge our city officials to
use their influence and such legis-
lative power, in the form of ordi-
nances, as may be theirs, and furth-
ermOre. that they secure such aid
from State officials as may be
available to suppress such afore-
said disgraceful and demOralizing
affairs.
Resolved, Third That a copy of
these resolutions be spread upon
our minutes, copy sent to each of
our local papers, and a copy given
to the Mayor of our town to be read
in the hearing of and acted upon
by the City Board at its next meet

We believe that an organization
of the farmers of this vicinity for
the purpose of discussing means
and methods of growing better
crops, better live stock would be
good thing. Meetings could be held
regul lrly or as often as desired, but
the best and most practical way
would be for the several members
to tell through the columns of the
Democrat of their successes and
failures along any line of farming.
In this way other farmers would
get advantage of what you have
been doing and in turn their sue
cess or failure would benefit you in
a money way. Think this over and
talk to your neighbor about it. The
work should be taken up at once as
during the next two months you
should make all plans for your
1912 crop. We can help you to
help each other. We are anxious
to have you aid US in helping you.
With your hearty cooperation much
good can be accomplished. There
are many questions regarding the
farm which can profitably be dis
cussed through the columns of the
Democrat. Don't wait for your
neighbor to say something to you
about such a scheme, you speak to
him and in fact to many farmers. 1t

 personal qualities that are being freely
 conceded to Senator OGorman? Here, for
 instance Is MT. Hearsts American admit
 ting that while he is "a thick-and- thin
 Tammany man" yet his personal and pro fessional record is without blemish. "
 Here is the radical Republican Press speaking of him as a man of ''even better mettIe and character" than the present re- publican senator, MT. Root. and a judge whose reputation is an ''enviable' one. Here is the New York World asserting that high as Is the office to which Judge O'Gorman has been elected and great as is the opportunity presented to him of
 becoming not only the leader of the dem ocracy of this state, but a leader of the democracy of the nation, yet this office
 is one which he can fully measure up to
 in character and ability" Two mighty
 hatreds have inspired the New York
 Evening Post in all its career-hatred of
 the protective tariff and hatred of Tam
 many Hall Yet even 1t finds nothing to
 say against Senator OGorman, former grand sachen. except that he Is Tam

What Anatole Brings Us
om Current Literature.

From Current Literature.
 America is just beginning to feel the influence of Anatole France. the greatest living Frenchman of letters. As yet ms spirit is faintly reflected here. We know him. many of us as the author of
 "Thais," a wonderful study of the con fiict between the senses and the soul or man. We have read by chance, few of his exquisitely wrought short stories.
 We have heard of his definition of criti- csm as 'the adventures of the critic s soul among masterpieces" For those who want to go deeper and understand the plentitude of his genius and its peculiar qualities. the first English translation, now in course of publication, of his fifty odd works provided the opportunity.
 The message of Anatole France to this country is essentially the message of an old to young civilization. We are men of action: he is a man of thought. We are simple and direct; he Is complex and sub tie. There Is sense in which he sums up all the intellectual unrest of our time. Like Bernard Shaw. he questions every thing. One French critic. Rene Doumic, characterizes his books as ''bibles of in- credulity," and another. Gaston Des- champs, has intimated that he believes in nothing, not even his own unbelief. 'lf ever Anatole France" says M. Des- champs seeks martyrdom, it will be to confess the doctrine of the relativity of knowledge, to affirm the nothingness of human opinions, and to attest at the
 price of his blood. that there is no truth. '
 But George Brandes, who sees deeper
 than either of the critics cited, declares | in an admirable monograph: France Is | no pessimist He knows that--the word of
 man changes the world. The alliance of
 strong reasons and noble thoughts is an
 indissoluble alliance. and against its on-
 slaught nothing can stand. Bergeret. the
 tranquil philosopher tof Frances novel;
 is absolutely certain of the final victory .of
 reason. The visions of the philosopher
 have in all ages aroused men of action,
 who have set to work to realize them.

A New Senator
] rom Current Literature.

From Current Literature.
 Now here is an amazing thing.

 without blemish" and has been a worthy judge. For those who have been brought up from their childhood days on the as surances that Tammany is the synonym for graft and vice and violence a sort or American development of the Italian ECanorra.- an organization dependent for it's existence upon the criminal population. this reception of the election of James A. 0f(sormap Is apt to be very confusing to the mind.
