Of Representatives. ne Is. probably the best orator
in the race, his ability recognized by all and IN
many places he has strong and influential friends.
But he' is under the misfortune of being persona
non grata to great many anti-Blease men, who
think that he neglected opportunities to align him
self prohouncedly against Bleaslsm earlier than he
did. Cooper is conceded in most quarters to have
made more gains thaf any other man in the race.
The Trouble is that he had further to go than any
made fine mpresson and he will get a handsome
vote, but the difficulty in his case is that he was
not generally known outside OF his judicial

that will come to the front re-
gardless of the length of the
session. If ninety days were al
lowed, there need not be such
rush jobs put up. To lengthen
the term, a constitutional pro-
vision is necessary, and it seems
that conditions would warrant
submitting this to the people.
The pay has been increased, and
the time limit should be extend
ed and used only when necessary.
At the close of every session the
rush precludes proper consider
alton, and it is impossible for
members to study the merits or
dement's of many measures they
must vote for or against For
the good of the people in general,
and for the protection of the
honor and standing of our law
makers, we suggest that the time
be extended to ninety days, thus
giving ample time to make such
laws as will best serve the public
good.

This is to celebrate the valen-

dunn of The News.
Time and again I have written
as to fertility of the soil in Car
roll county. Missouri, and the
products of this generous region.
Mention has also been made of
the citizenship, and the reason
to be assigned is the fact that it
is largely made up of Kentuck-
ians.

legiance to their native State;

number of farmers have lost

The tobacco market at this
place is still lively, although re-
cent severe weather and bad
roads have lessened the receipts
this week. Prices have held
firm, and are better this week
than at any previous time. The
market will close March the 9Th.
The domestic science demon
strations given by Mrs. Mary F.
CHM, one of the instructors of
the institute, were largely at
tended by the ladies. A great
interest was shown in this phase
of farm life, and Mrs. CHM en-
phasized strongly the import
ance of mastering the science of
cooking. She conf m e d the
statement of eminent phys clans
of America that poorly cooked
foods are the chief cause of a
large per cent, of i'll health.
She strongly advocated the use
of a great amount of such foods
as greens, cabbage, kaIe, spinach
etc., and declared that if one
needed a tonic in the spring for
general debility, no better rem
edy could be used than the SIM
pie one of eating as much of
these vegetables as one could
possibly eat for two weeks Or
more.

1t seems to us that if our Gov
eminent, Federal or State, is to
prescribe every movement of
public-service corporations, it
should become owner outright.
We believe in reasonable restric-
tons Of corporate interests, but
can not see any good to the gen.
eral public in a continual hound
ing of interests that are develop
ing the entire country. Rail-
roads, like other enterprises, in
the main. are built and operated
mainly as avenues of profit.
Their building, and particularly
their operation, brings develop
ment andEprosperity to the peo-
pie in general, and instead of
cramping and discouraging in
,Vestments in such enterprises,
we would be glad to see policy
and spiritEof encouragement to
build more roads, and better
equip the zones now in oper-
alton. In this matter we do not
mean to yieldStssunconditionally to
railroads.. but merely to make
reasonable requirements, and to
prevent monopolies that would
deprive thee. people from the
healthy effects of competition.
Too many politicians are seeking
to arouse the people against cor
porations merelysto advance per-
sonal interests is our honest opin-
ion, aid we predict that the day
is not far distant when the aver
age intelligent2A citizen will see
it. We do not believe in any pol
icy that curtails development,
unless such development is det-
rimental to the public good. At
tempted force usually breeds re-
sistance which is not good for
either partyswhile reasonable re.
quirements, sssborn of good mo-
tives, may be depended upon for
good resultsssof mutual interests.
We believe in a live and let live
policy, and take but little stock
in the policy Of destruction. In
fact, we believe that more rail-
roads are needed, more streams
should be made ravagable, and
that both will be accomplished
when the sspendulum of public
sentiment swings to it's proper
balance.

Criticism of the Legislature is
general, and thus it has ever
been. Justly so in many re-
spects and unjustly in many.
Measures are passed that should
be defeated, and many defeated
that should become laws, can
not be disputed. To our mind
too many bills of minor import
ance are introduced at the ex-
pense of the few of real worth,
to give due and proper consider
alton in the short time allotted
for law-making. To relieve this
sii Iation, to guarantee more eau
tious action, to give better time
for development of worthy and
needed legislation we believe that
ninety days instead of sixty
should be given the Legisla-
ture in which to do its work. Toe
