Making Good Out in The Sunfiower
State.

A man who has had much to do
with the making of Independence, one
of the most beautiful little cities in
the county, is Frank F. Fletcher, |
whose office is located at 112 1-2 E.
Myrtle street. F. F. Fletcher is a !
man possessed with more than the
usual amount of natural artistic abil-
ity which has been enhanced by his
architectural studies and by travel.
He is an architect enjoying repu-
tation that is second to none in this
part of the country.
The erection, especially during the
past year, in this city of large num-
Der of fine homes and business and
public buildings has called for a large
amount of architectural work, and of
this work our townsman Frank F.
Fletcher was invariably called upon
either in an advisory capacity or has
been the architect in charge serving
in either capacity to the complete
satisfaction of his clients and we
have yet to hear the first word of com
plant about his work to be spoken by
client in whose service he has been
employed.
In the erection of the more costly
structures either business or home
building there are peculiar desires
and requirements which call for in
dividual study, consultations will
the architect and finally the inculca
ton of the desires of the builder int
a set of practical and economical
plans by the architect and in meet
ing these conditions Frank F. Fletcb
er has beenunusually successful. H
is one of the professional men VIII
is willing to give the individual al
- tention to each separate undertaken
70 that will produce the practical stru'
" ture desired.
70 The people of Independence al
- most fortunate in having at the
% command the services of such con
petent painstaking professional ma
- as is Frank F. Fletcher and we fe
sure they will show their Thankful
ness by continuing their patrnage

CAUGHT THE FARMERS.
Lost Their Money and Didn't Get
The Booze Either.

The Centralia Guard last week
contained the following interesting
write-up:
Three of our prominet farmers of
north of town are on the warpath
this week and they are fresh converts
to the "buy it at home" policy -
They we're "beastly skint."
A slick tongued stranger went out
amongst m two weeks ago and gave
them each snifter of Ticker he car
ried in a pocket flask and took their
order for a quantity of the Juice. One
of the boys went in for $500 worth
of the liquor to be shimpped to his
address,: another took $500 worth
and the third thought about $500
worth would supply his pressing
needs. The stranger told them it
would take two weeks or ten days to
deliver the whiskey to them and If
it was not up to the sample they
could keep it and get their money
back. In fact he told them a whole
lot of things that listened good to
their willing ears.
Two weeks have gone by and no
packages have arrived. A few days
ago more passed and one of the
farmers came in to town to see If
the check he had given for eight dol
lars had been cashed. No, but a
check for $500 had been cashed.
Then he got busy and told the other
fellows and we understand the man
who gave the five dollar check found
it was raised to $500 and the three
dollar check was raised to $500.
The smooth stranger made clean
getaway and, of course, cannot be
- found. Very few sympathize with
the farmers in their losses and disap-
. pointments, as on the one hand some
say they should not have been buying
intoxicating liquor at all, while on
the other hand we imagine the farm
ers are centured for not patronizlne
our own blind pigs and local bootleg
gers. Meanwhile the mental anguish
and physical seffering of the trio o
stung farmers goes on silently within
the walls of their own earthly tene
ments. Forty-six good old iron dol
lars gone out of their lives forever
.. and the enamel cracking of thei
-, back teeth because of the drynes
- within. They cry out for vengeance
and there is no vengeance to Civ
- them; they cry out for their vanishe
simoleons and the echoless past give
back no reply, and Tesolutely the
!, set their minds to learn the shibb'

SOME HIGH SALARIES.

The Galloway County Democrat is
for uouchins for Governor. 1t is al
so against the Public Service Com
mission. Hear it in the following
harangue:
According to the official Blue Book
Eve members of the Public Service
Commission receive annual salaries
Of $500 and the other member
$4,000. making $4,000. While the
Members are all lawyers except one
vat the Governor appointed his re-
cont nriyate secretary as additional
counsel at a salary of $4,000, maxi
ing a total of $4,000. And there
are % employees who receive $45,-
100 making a grand total of $S1,92O
a wear for that commission in salary
gra bbing. How is that for high?
But practical politics sometimes
costs in the superlative degree, and
the public sees very little good 1t
does except afford an attractive pay
roll for those who revel at the rat
ipicv feat. regardless of how few
hours they work.
with all this salary the commits
sion pretended to render a slight in
crease recently in railway passenger
and freight rates. 1t was so Sign
chat it is useless, a mockery, and thu
wise commission acted against thu
Attorney General and the suprem
Court. and the Governor has com
out in active criticism of the com
missions arbitrary action in its lat
desperate pull at the bulls horns
as q superior body. Did Chairma
Atkinson think it would boost hir
for Governor? But instead, won't
set him farther back?
Relative to the fizzle by the e'
nensive commission the executlV
heads of railroads operating in Mi
souri, have sent out a circular lett'
in which they say;
This is a misconception as Il
very conditions under which the al
vance is permitted prevent the raj
roads from getting it.
"Our opinion with respect to II
effect of the changes permitted
freight rates will require more tin
and study, but in the meantime
1t are forced to the conclusion that t
L order, as applied to passenger rat
p will result in a very small increa
in revenue"
'e Likely the Governor was abo
right in criticising the commissl
and calling attention to the lit
botch job it did. Instead of havi

Maybe the Galloway County Dem
ocrat is only opposed to high salary
grabs. Cut the membership of the
State Utilities Board to three persons
and cut their salaries in two also,
and we are guessing the Democrat
would feel better toward the whole

CHICAGO SALOON MEN
SUED FOR MILLIONS

Chicago, Sept. 24.-Suits for $4,000.
900 damages under the dramshop law
have been started against Cook coun.
ty saloon keepers by William G.
Dunn, attorney for the Citizens
league, in the name of relatives of al.
legged drunkards.
The dramshop law provides that
the wife or relatives of the drunkard
may notify saloon keepers not to sell
him liquor. If the notice is disre-
garded the drunkards family may sue
the saloon keepers for impairment OF
their support.
THE best weapon against the sa.
loon we have at hand" is the way At.
torney Dunn refers to the act.
The law has obtained results be.
cause 1t appeals to the average non
prohibitionists as a fair, reasonable
and Just measure" he continued.
IF man can't get drink in his own
neighborhood, he usually goes with
out If the saloon keeper disregards
the notice given by the relatives, we
sue him.
"As soon as he is sued, he is fright
ened and refuses to sell liquor to the
man. The other neighborhood liquor
dealers who also have been sued also
refuse to make sales"
