Is To Lawyers.

Speaker Champ Clark tells of Mis-
sour lawyer named Strange who became
Ill and feared he was about to die.
Calling his wife to him. Lawyer
Strange said
Now, my dear, when die. would
like you to put little headstone at my
grave and on it simply say, Here lies an
honest lawyer.
The wife expressed surprise that her
husband did not wish his name on the
stone.
That will not be necessary. he said,
Everyone who passes and sees the in
scripfion will at once say. That's
Strange. 49, eCalIs Magazine.

Major Angus Mcdonald delivered a
most interesting and instructive lecture
in the Court House here last Thursday
night. His subject was the history Of
the town years ago when he as a boy
and young man lived here. Many
prominent personages who lived here
then were called to mind by the speak
er and the history of the town in by
gone days was retold. The address
was particularly interesting to the
older persons present, and was instruc-
tive to the younger generation. Maj.
Mcdonald was introduced by Judge
Daley. He was accompanied here by
his wife. Hompshire ReUieu.

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK

1t is customary with many newspapers to throw up their hats
and in effect say after the nomination of a national democratic
ticket, that victory is assured and that almost all the republicans
will admit, on the side, that the democrats are going to win. In fact.
the public has learned to expect just such editorial announcements.
But the people at large aet thinking more than ever for themselves
and are beginning to demand reasons for editorial utterances. At
this crucial time it seems to us to be almost a sacred duty upon the
part of the democratic press of the country to deal frankly with the
democratic voter.
While the republicans are just now somewhat stampeded, vet
they are remarkable for reforming their lines and for getting to-
gether. The past shows them to be renowned generals on the polt-
'oal battlefield, and the democrat that is congratulatng himself on
an easy victory is huggng a delusion. All things point to demo.
cratic success. but the victory must be won by a battle. perhaps such
as never before engaged the nation. 1t may be a Ceath struggle to
the republican party. hence every resource and every energy at its
command will be used. The trusts and the money power realize
what democratic success means and they, too, will put up a hercu-
lean fight before relinquishing the favors that they have been re-
ceiving from the government through the agency of the republican
their side and money is i powerful reasoner and persuader. So we
Victory is ours if the campaign is properly directed. Democracy
nothing against his private life or his public record. He is against
the trusts and the combines and in favor of choking the vi,als out of
those who have been enriching themselves while the balance of the
land has grown poorer. There Is nothing to commend Taft to the
thinking voter. He has failed to keep his promises; his cabinet
quarrels show his bad judgment; he appointed a Court of Commerce
that has disgraced itself and he has been a party to raising the cost
OF living whereas he promised to reduce it.
Roosevelt can not hope to win, but he may be the means of
throwing the election into the House of Representatives, IN which
event the democrats would likely lose. Hence, we say, that the
only way for democracy to carry its banner to victory IS 10 fight
early and late and to realize now the stupenduous task that lies out
before it.

BE It said to the credit Of the Interstate Commerce Commission
that it has ordered an average reduction of IS per cent in the tariff
charges of the express companies throughout the United States
which order becomes operative October 9 The commission very
properly states that the investigation reveals what the thinking pub
lie has for a long while known that all the companies are so inter
laced in ownership that it is virtually a few men who, together, con-
troll them all. Hence the statement by the commission that "the
express business may be said to be almost a family affair" is hardly
a news item.
There are $4,000 express Offices in the United States and under
the present method it is purposey made difficult to tell just what
the established charge is. The total number Of rates to different
places, the commission states, IS over six hundred million, and the
rates are frequently intricate, often requiring expert authority to de-
termine just what they are. The commission proposes to simplify
this and to have adopted a rule whereby less than half the page of a
newspaper will show the charges from any one point to all others
within the United States.
OF course the express companies are throwing up their hands and
