Censorship And Democracy.

Censorship and democracy are in
compatible. Censorship is an ex-
preston of the self-giving divine
right of kings and social workers,
looking after petty people who can
not think for themselves. Censor
ship is for weaklings who have not
the moral fiber to resist the immoral,
and are influenced by every book
they read and every picture they see.
Censorship has degenerated from an
insult to our morality to an insult to
our intelligence. The more you CEN
sor, the greater the need of censor
ship. Strength does not come from
flying from evil, but from facing it
and trying out ones strength with it.
Censorship savors of despotic Russia,
where newspapers look like sieves,
and books become puzzles to guess
the missing parts. Censorship is the
basis of the new ten commandments
of "Thou shalt not" made by little
tin gods for smaller worshippers.
Thou shalt not see any moving pic
ture which is not censored. Thou
shalt not look upon any work of art
which is not censored. Thou shalt
not listen to any drama which is not
censored. Thou shalt not read any
book which is not censored. Thou
shalt not speak, feel, think, live,
without being censored. De-
velop democracy and you will not
need censorship. Real, vibrant,
throbbing democracy means self
reliant, strong individuals, ready to
assume a responsibility, and with the
strength and courage to meet the
responsibility. If one carries
child for years and years, it will
never learn to walk, and his little leg
let's will become more weak. Let him
crawl, let him stumble, let him bump
his nose once or twice, let him ex-
perience pain and failure, above all
let him have the opportunity and he
will rise to it, and stand erect, man.
Ignorance is not strength, and shield
ing one from all contact with the
world develops weakness. One who
is afraid of mud never cleans up the
mudhoIe, and one who is afraid of
evil finds the devil laughing at. him
for his weakness and chasing him
with new pitchfork. The
way to censor thing is not to buy it
or patronize it. I. If we must
choose between small censorship and
big democracy, surely we will choose
democracy. The Public.

Mcconnell came to West Plains
March 81, from Springfield to work
in the Gazette Office. His home was
at Boise, Idaho, where his parents re-
side. He was member of Boise
Lodge No. 2 A. F.. A. M, and a mem
Der of the international Typographical
Union. The Masonic fraternity cared
for the unfortunate young man and
Mr.. and Mrs. Summers did every
thing possible for him. His relatives
were notified and message also was
sent to the lodge where he was made
a Mason.
W. H. Taylor, local representative.
of the Martin Bros. Piano Company,
knew Mcconnell and also his father in
Boise. He says the family is we'll re-
spected in that city. The Springfield
Leader says that Mcdonnell came to
Springfield last October and for time
was employed at the Inland Printing
Company, and that he seldom spoke
of himself and was we'll liked. Nc
Connell was faithful worker, sober
and Industrious, and not inclined to
be troublesome or quarrelsome.
Miss Effie Cowden, Of Springfield,
to whom Mcconnell was to be mar
ried next September, reached here at
midnight, few hours after the death
of her fiance. She had been notified
by long distance phone that he was
seriously injured and did not learn of
his death until reaching West Plains.
She was greatly affected. Miss
Cowden met Mcconnell at Boise, two
years ago, when she took her mother
west for her health. She resides at
731 Mt. Vernon street, and is employ
ed as stenographer for the Sinclair
Coal Company, 7O3 Woodruff building
Springfield. Miss Cowden was greatly
attached to Mcconnell and every
morning he received a letter from
"his girl" as he affectionately called
her. He often spoke of their ap-
preaching marriage. Miss Cowdeh
did everything possible for her deat
fiance.

A Reformed Preacher.
(West Plain Gazette

Olin I. Mcconnell, Linotype OPP
orator in the Gazette office, died
Thursday night of last week, seven
hours after being struck on the jaw by
Rev. Lawrence s. Blanner, Metho-
dist minister.
Mcconnell and Flanner were boar%
ders at the Mark Summons home on
West Plain street. Thursday noon
the young men with others had dis
cussion at the dinner table about a
prospective railroad strike. At the
table were Mr.. and Mrs. Mark Sum-
mers, the latter's daughter, Miss
Daisy Logsdon, Mr.. and Mrs. L. B..
Simpson, DIR. Q. F. Ballenger, 0. R..
Amos, bookkeeper, Rev. Flanner
and Mcdonnell. According to those
who were there, no i'll feeling seemed
to result over the discussion at the
time.
DR.. Ballenger, Mrs. Simpson and
Rev. Flanner went through the house
and were seated on the front porch
when Mcdonnell came walking around
the house. Mcconnell stopped in
front of the porch.
"Doctor, are you going up town."
Mcconnell is said to have asked DR..
) Ballenger.
The eyesight specialist answered
that he was not.
"I'll go with you if you will say
what you did while ago." Flanner
spokeup.
Flanner started from the porch
down the walk to Mcdonnell. "I'm
very sorry; if | owe you an apology
apologize Mcconnell said He
started down the walk, Flanner fol-
lowing. Flanner stepped in front o.
Mcconnell, grabbed him by the coat
with his left hand and then struck
him terrible blow on the left jaw
Mcconnell was knocked down, hi
head striking on the concrete walk.
Medical aid was quickly summoned
Flanner seemed to regret his rasl
deed when he saw the seriousness o
the blow. He offered TO do anything
in his power to relieve the sufferer
Mcdonnell never regained conscious
ness. According to physicians in at
tendance, the blow almost broke thu
unfortunate mans neck, while tn
fall on the walk caused concussion o
the brain, from which death resulted
Mcconnell died that night at
O'Clock.
Flanner had been arrested for as
sault by Constable Ben Hollingsha'
soon after the blow was struck
and was released after giving o $50
bond. When Mcconnell died Con

Wheat Straw Worm or Hessian
Fly.

The Hessian Fly is getting credited
with lot of damage in Southeast
Missouri that it has not done. I have
found no fly this season, but every
field examined is infected with the
Wheat Straw Worm.
The methods of control are so diff
ferent that it is important that we
know with which insect we are deal
ing, The Wheat Straw Worm appears
above any of the lower joints. The
straw may or may not be enlarged,
but usually rough or swollen place
in the straw indicates the presence of
of the larvae beneath. Many straws
will be crooked, some having two or
three bands in them. On cutting the
straw open the larvae can be easily
found inside the straw. 1t is yellow
ish white and about one-fourth of an
inch long.
The Hessian Fly never gets inside
the straw, but is beneath the leaf
sheath just above the joint. The egg
is laid on the leaf blade and the lar
vac on Matching gets to the base Of
the leaf and there develops. Here il
also pupates, the pupa having q
