County is between the Republican
and Democratic parties, just as it has
always been, and we want to see the
Republicans nominate good men and
elect them in November, for every
Republican nominated can be elected,
provided the editor of the Statesman
and Taft agent for Morgan county,
don't get in his usual dirty work and
help elect Democrats.

Our readers will remember that at

we said the present site was the poor
est in the state. The above, from our
esteemed contemporary, confirms our
judgment. Better move it some

On Growing Old.

To grow old is more difficult than
to die, because to renounCe a coed
once and for all costs less than to re-
new the sacrifice day by day and detail.
To bear with ones own decay, to ac-
cept ones own lessening capacity. is
a harder and rarer virtue than to face
death. There is a halo round tragic
and premature death; there is but a
long sadness in declining strength.
But look closer. SO studied, a re-
signed and religious old age will often
move us more than the heroic ardor
Of young years. The maturity of the
soul is worth more than the first bril-
nance of his faculties or the plendi-
tude of it's strength, and the eternal
IN us can but profit from all the ravag-
es made by time. There is comfort
in this thought.-Amiel's Journal.

An Endorsement.

Prominent Jefferson Cityans have
a movement to have the
site of the new State Capitol removed
to a high hill south of Jefferson City,
where it is said it can be seen bette
when constructed.
Unless the Capitol Commission has
awarded the constructs and the build
ing is under way before the next Cen
eral Assembly convenes the Legisla-
ture will be asked to pass a law,
changing the site of the Capitol from
the present spot to a designated one
along the south limits of the city and
appropriating S25O,O00 for the pur-
chase of land
Judge A. NJ. Hough, n of the
most active persons in the movement,
says it will be a shame to build the
new Capitol upon the old site.
''That's practically a hollow, and the
building will look squatty,' he said.
''Of course, it will overlook the riv-
er, but the new structure will lose the
advantage of the eminence upon
which the old building stood.
"ihere is a magnificent site on
the south side of the building, and
the Legislature should be petitoned
to move it there. Thirty acres could
be acquired for park purposes.
From the building then the whole
county can be surveyed. l believe a
man could see Sedalia from the dome
of the building if located out there.
HAVE TIM TO MAKE CHANGE.
81 do not believe it is too late to
secure the change, The Capitol Com
mission has not selected an architect,
and will not until September 10.
Then it must ask for bids for con-
struCtion and stone and excavation n.
| do not think a lick will be struck
upon the foundation beforee next
summer.
"Of course, it will be urged the
state paid out about 5000, 900 for adj
ditlonal park lands adjoining the
present site. This is no valid OBJ
lection, however, for the reason tina,
the land acquired can be utilized
when needed for additional buildings
and for park purposes"
The proposition to change the site
is not likely to meet with much favo,
among the solons. The bills submit

the building called for its construction

Declaring that the rules Of baseball
were violated frequently in the High
land-Vandever game At Front and
Union streets on Saturday afternoon,
causing Highland TO lose by a 5 to 4
score; Jack Lynch. manager of the
team, yesterday protested the
game. The game was for the cham

crowd broke over the field In the ninth
inning interfering with play 1t was one
of the hardest fought base ball battles
ever waged there. Highland took the
lead In the third inning and seemed
an easy winner until Vandever un-
corked three singles and tied up in the
last stanza The Vandever fans went
wild with JOY and soon two hundred
enthusiastic rooters were on the field.
In his protest Lynch says the crowd
made II impossible for their catcher
to field a throw on Thompson at the
plate. The ball went wild and while
Waters was chasinbg Il, Vernon ran
IN from first to receive Waters re-
turn of tho ball but was pushed aside
by the crowd Lynch also declares

The protest will be considered Thurs
day night.
Twelve hundred enthusiastic fans
carrying horns and rattles saw the
game Black and Thomas we're the
opposing slab artists, and each pitched
fine ball in the pinches. Vandever,
however. hit hard at critical times.
