VIRGIL coMkLIAG
Prosecuting Attorney Of Jack
son County Is Dead

At his home in Kansas City
last Saturday night at Z O'Clock
Virgil Conkling's earthly career
ended after suffering for two
years with locomotor ataxia and
for two weeks prior to his death
confined to his bed. AS editor
of a country newspaper in Carroll
county a few years ago, the then
young man gave promise Of
great talents in the legal line,
and studied law during spare
hours qualifying and practising
for several years at Carrollton.
Removing to the greater field
for practice in Kansas City, he
was elected prosecuting attorney
after a few years, and. II was
held that the strain Of the prose-
cution Of DR.. B. Clarke Hyde
brought on the disease which
caused his death at the age Of
4S.
Virgil Conkling was power in
politics as well as a noted Grimm
al lawyer and many state and
judicial officers owe their NOM
ination to his influence among
democrats. He was one Of the
warmest friends Of c. P. Van.
diver as well as the present
senior editor and to his widow
and four children we extend our
sincerest sympathy.

PRAISE SERVICE
Held at Christian Church on
Thanksgiving Day

lat 10 a. m. Thursday. The
churches of the city Joined in
praise for the goodness Of Provi-
dence in song and spoken word.
The attendance was very good
and the services proved those Of
true thanksgiving.
The service was opened with
an anthem by the choir after
which Rev. Mitchell invoked the
blessing Of the Deity. A duet
was sung and Rev. C. o. Rams
ford read a passage from the
scripture and prayed. An anthem
and a congregational hymn was
followed by the sermon, deliver
ed by B. c. 0rmsbee. Rev.
0rmsbee drew his text from
Micah SIS:
He hath showed thee oh
man. what Is good; and what
doth the lord require Of thee. but
to do justly. and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with thy
Cod"
Happy indeed the nation which
is God ed-the nation which is
like Israel has unmistakable
evidence OF Gods divine care.
OF all the nations Of the world
IL seems TO me that our own
beloved land can trace the
finger Of the almighty most re-
markably in the history Of their
achievements. God showed
Israel what was good for them.
in many crises Of their national
career: So has His love and in
terest been manifest TO us.
/. He has shown Is what Is
good.
1. In giving us to know Jesus
Christ as the saviour Of men.
The greatest blessing that can
come TO the individual Is the
consciousness Of forgiven sin.
2. In giving US n government
founded on the christian idea.
Democracy was not born at
Bunker Hill. but in the manger
at Bethlehem. Il was not by ac-
cident that our forefathers blaz-
ed q new way for governments
upon an untried principle Of
government Of the people by
the people. and for the people"
but Il was inspired by God put
ting into the hearts Of men this
noble conception, that he might
have a base Of operation from
which to send out the rays Of
gospel light to all the world.
3. In permitting US 10 lead all
dominions In scientific discover
les. In intellectual advancement |
and inventive genius 30 that we
have become master Of the air
the electric currents and the
bowels Of the earth.
IL Our obligations: what
doth He require Of thecl Not
by way Of compensation for He
does not need our puny efforts
OF our genius. or our gold for
himself. But as we have been
blessed. he wants us TO bless our
fellows:
I. To do Justly. To render
unto all men their just rights.
The usurpation by a few Of the
rights and privileges Of all has
been the cause Of the downfall
of all nations and kingdoms that
have met thor doom.
2. To love mercy. TO have a
compassionate heart. even as our
ord when he was here upon

Profits in Cemeteries

An action that has been begun ;n the supreme court in New York brings out the fact that promoting cemeteries, as a man might pro mote" a trolley company or mining company, is business of it's own, and that the profits are not small. It also emphasizes the remark of a witty New Yorker that a cemetery always pays for itself"
 It is claimed in the present lawsuit that it was possible for the defend ants to gain profits aggregating from S3.OO0.O 900 to s4,OOO.O0O in promoting" cemeteries in New York, Massachu- setts and Pennsylvania A part of the scheme it is alleged. was for the partners in the enterprise to have porations in some cases. and use the old cemetery companies as bases for new ones.
 Another claim by the plaintiff is that the various partners had made profits of $300.0OO in each of the original cemetery corporations, and that their profits in the new corpora tons would aggregate from $3,00e. 00O to $4,000,0OO The action is for a division Of these various profits. Much has been said about the profits that come from promotions of great industrial enterprises. chicken farms, villages and cities, railroads and min ing propositions, but the appearance of this suit would indicate that the field is much wider than has been supposed.

On the Inside Track

There have been many amazing de- yclnpments in American politics this spring. not the least of them being rhe strength displayed by Champ Clark in states where primaries have been held. It is conceded, even by many democratic observers that he is the weakest man in the race, viewed from the standpoint of presi- dcntiaI requirements. Yet in spite of this defect. a defect that would nat urany seem to be fatal, he is draw ing rapidly ahead of all competitors
 During all the years he has been in the house. he has never distinguished himself as constructive statesman. He has a magnetic personality, which has made him personally popular, and a gift of oratory which has made him a prominent figure on- the Chau- tauqua lecture circuit But he has been governed by enthusiasm rather than by reason. He has shown an utter want of discretion. He has been notorious for extravaganza of language He has advocated every heresy proposed by Bryan. even in- cluding free silver. He was elected speaker on the strength of his bong service in the house and his per sonal following. but in shaping the policies of that body he has been completely overshadowed by Under wood, new man, comparatively speaking
 In spite of these obvious handicaps, Champ Clark stands today nearer the goal of the democratic nomination than any other man. Very nearly 200 delegates are claimed by his man. agers He has the thirty-six dele gates of Missouri, the twelve of Colorado, the twenty of Kansas, the ten of Oregon. and the thirty-siX of Massachusetts; besides ten in Okla hoIna, six in Wisconsin, fourteen in Nebraska, six in Alaska, and in ad- ditiOn claims fifty eight in Illinois. As. compared with this, Woodrow Wilson, who stands next. can show only l13 votes. Seven hundred and twenty eight votes will be necessary for a choice at Baltimore, however, under the two-thirds rule The fight is by no means over Even MT Clark has long distance to go yet, to he assured of the nomination
