sl.oo Weekly Doomed

1t is the opinion of many
weekly publishers the day of
the 81 90 weekly newspapers is
doomed. They are getting
away from it about as rapidly
as they went to it, some 20
years ago. In the meantime
many good and true publishers
have gone to the wall in their
efforts to maintain themselves.
Some have succeeded by rea-
son of good line OF advertise
ing and job work, but not from
any profit accruing to them
from $1.00 Subscriptions. When
you come to think of it-three
cents a week is a little sum to
pay for a country weekly-and
the average subscriber is not
blind to the necessities of the
case. Pub. Auxiliary.

Another reason why the gro
Gerry department at the Farm

besides all this they sell % lbs.

BARKER DENouNcEs JUDGE Nc.
PETERSON OF THE FEDERAL
COURT TO HIS FACE.
He GOT WHAT HE DESERVED
The Attorney General Is Congratulate
ed for His Attack Upon the
Judge In Excess Fare Col
lection Cases.

Jefferson City.--Attorney General
John T. Barker has returned to JEFF.
ferson City. He viii not make de-
tailed statement of what he intends
TO do In the rate cases.
THE injunction issued by Judge
MCPHERSON" he said, will not reach
here Immediately. Until 1t does do
not care TO make a statement.
Judge Mcpherson announced in
open court that the state would be en-.
Joined from further prosecution of the
overcharge suits in the state courts
until after he mad passed upon the de-
crees to be entered in the rate cases"
In a general way, the attorney gen
eral said, he IL hit be able soon to in
dictate definitely his future course Of
action in the litigation.
II can be stated that II Judge Nc
Phersons final ruling limits the liza
bility of the railroads TO the amount
OF the injunction bonds he will go TO
the supreme court of the United
States for an order or writ to compel
Judge Mcpherson to enter decree
showing the injunction bonds cover
only the costs Of the suits and were
not intended TO cover anything else.
II Judge Mcpherson in his final rul-
ing retains sole jurisdiction of the oy.
ercharge suits against the railroads
the attorney general likewise will seek
a writ against that in the supreme
court.
Barker Congratulated for Stand,
The attorney general was congrat
ulated on all sides when he reached
Jefferson City for the stand he had
taken.
Regarding his attack on the judge
In court, Mr.. Barker said nothing ex'
cept that he thought the course of the
Judge since the mandates of the SUI
preme court in the rate cases reached
him last June deserved criticism.
Gov. Major declined to express his
opinion OF the situation and OF the
roasting" the attorney general gave
Judge Mcpherson. II is know, how
aver, that the governor approves the
position taken by Mr.. Barker.
He said he might discuss the matter
in q statement to the press in the neal
future.
