Or H. f. Mikel, of Columbia, re-
Gently received letter from J
u. -fiousemsn, genearl manager of a
number of traction companies and
who also has a scheme connecting hi
lines with the Mexico. Santa Fe &
Perry road.
Mr.. Houseman says in his letter
that one of the principal reasons why
interurban projects fall is becaus
experienced and reliable railroad
men have not been in charge.
Mr.. Houseman says further: 81 dc
not wish to knock any project that
others see fit to promote but do
feel conscientiously that united effort
on the part of the people of Colum'
bia with those Of Hereford, Mexico
and Fulton, would accomplish great
deal more for the interest of their
community than could be accomplish
ed by projecting the line of Moberly
which would undoubtedly cost twice
as much per mile as the road to Mex
leo and Hereford"
Concluding his letter Mr. House
man says: "In matters of this kind
l feel that while 1t is discouraging L
a certain extent, yet it is absolutel,
necessary to give plenty of time t.

COLONEL SAM BLYTHE, of the
Saturday Evening Post, writing re-
garding politics and politicians of the
world, says: Politics is the most
selfish pursuit in this world for this
reason: It's practice. which has for
its ultimate object nothing but party
and personal perquisites, is all based
on the platform of popular need and
popular aid. Politicians say they are
doing things for the people; but
they are doing things for their par
ty and for themselves. Trim off the
pretensions from any party policy in
America or in England and you find
you have taken off great many
husks of desire for party and persona
power, and have left very small
kernel of real, effective, honest, pa
triotic, nonpartisan legislat on. An
English partisan and an American
partisan do not suffer even in de
gree. To be sure, without partisans
in England or in our own country we
could not have parties and without
parties there could be no government
but that isn't what l am getting at.
The point want to make clear is
that the legislative as well as the ma
tional politics in England and Ameri
ca are conducted in the same way b!
the same sort Of men; and the re
suits they strive for in both coun
tries are idenical In England the!
are playing to keep the governmen
in power or to get another sort o
government in and throw the sitting
government out-which is exactl.
what all our politics in Amerio
amounts to in basic sense, with tn
people helped or hindered, as the ca
may be-"

Dear sirs:--
The first sermon heard preached
was In the brick church at Concord,
over 60 years since. The old church
Is yet in use. Is there an older
church in AudraIn or Galloway Coun-
ties. II you would have someone to
write the history OF this church and
the cemetery connected with 1t, woul
1t not be interesting reading to the
readers Of the Ledger? Many people
living in Mexico. Audraln and Gala
way counties have attended preach
ing in this church. The relatives and
friends Of many readers of the Ledge
are buried in this cemetery. | think
the parents of Mrs. Champ Clark
were buried there, and they were
members of this Church. The rela-
tiyes of other prominent people were
buried there.
In looking over some old papers be
, longing to my father, l find copy
of the Missouri Statesman (extra)
Columbia, Mo, March s, 1S49, being
Pres. Taylor's inaugural address. or
March 5, 1s49. The entire message
takes about 5x11 inches of one side o
the extra. Is not the Statesman still
published? About 1875 took the
