one with the gun said "I'm going to

shooting the little girl through the
leg. The child's leg had to be am
putated, the child living about fifteen
minutes after the work was COM

England and Germany on the rights
of neutral commerce.
The Presidents position is conceived
in no sordid spirit of devotion to
money gain or the worship of wealth.
The enrichment of the rich is merely
an accident of international COM
mercial operations; their chief and
supreme end is to feed and clothe
humanity, and provide means for the
education of the young, the care of
the aged and the supply of the needs
of the spirit of naan. But few of the
men have laid by them in store. Most
men eat to-day what they earned
yesterday and want treads hard upon
acquisition. Let traffic be halted and
want and misery and starvation begin
their work. In standing for the
rights of neutral commerce, Woodrow
Wilson is standing for the rights of
fathers to feed and clothe their
families, of mothers to care for their
children, the right of the hungry to a
meal, of the shivering to shelter, of
the naked to clothing. The fight for
neutral commerce is a fight for
humanity. If we Americans have to
fight for neutral commerce / think it
would be much cheaper to leave it off.
Instead of there being 100000, 900
Americans behind the President to
fight for these rights the President
would be behind them and a long
ways behind in some we'll fortified
place and plenty of body guards. If
this fight should come about l think
our President would be like the Irish
man when he walked up where two
men were fighting and he asked them
II that was free thing, and one OF
the men said yes, 80 he began to pull
off his coat and the other fellow
knocked him down; the Irishman got

THE recent death of Sire Alarm"
Flanagan of Carthage is bringing out
many stories of that eccentric Repub-
lican alarmist. One of the best is
that told by the Bulletin of Linneus
which says that he spoke there in
1892. 1t says that Flanagan made q
two-hours' talk in characteristic style,
using an abundant supply of wit and
keeping his audience in a fine humor,
regardless of the variety of political
views represented among his hearers.
That is, he kept his audience in good
temper until he began to ridicule the
Democratic attitude on free wool and
told that Lincoln story-'Democrats
talk about free WOOL" he sneered;
"what do they know about free woolG
That great, that peerless Republican
leader, Abraham Lincoln, with one
stroke of his pen put more wool on
the free list than the Democrats ever
will" AS soon as that remark soaked
in, every colored brother and sister
arose and marched out of the hall.
But the rest enjoy ed Mr.. Flanagan,
and there were calls of ego on" from
every body when he drew his speech
to close.

THIS from the Paris (Mo) Mercury
of January 80, is mighty readable to-
day: estate wide prohibition was
Overwhelmingly defeated, so was
county unit bill, and any man with an
ounce of judgment knows that both
would suffer similar fate again, even
if submitted at a special election with
nothing to confuse the direct issue.
Missouri is not yet ready for prohi-
bition, either outright or by in
direction, as illustrated in the vote of
the most radical dry counties, and if
the Democrats in the legislature,
following the leadership of a few
dervishes, who not only have lost all
sense of proportion but must perforce
howl in order to keep their jobs, in
sist on pushing the question to the
front, the party will be as badly
beaten two years from now as it was
six years ago following the same sort
of performance. Missouri is a local
option state, is three -fourths dry as
matters stand, and there is no further
restrictive legislation possible at this
time. Talk of tricking the referendum
is SO much piffle, chatter regarding so
silly an expedient displaying the
quality of leadership we may expect
at Jefferson City this winter, and the
manner in which the liquor issue is
being dragged to the front betrays at
once crafty and deliberate design.
Behind it and the men who are howl
ing about it, even though they be un-
conscious of the fact, are the special
interests Of the state attempting to
block reform legislation and wreck
the Democratic party. If accomplish
ment of any kind were possible it
would be different"

THE Missouri Democracy owes
nothing to the City of st, Louis. We
are not opposed to "dry" legislation
because St. Louis doesn't want it, but
because nearly all the measures
championed by the "drys" are vicious
and democratic.

BOTH houses of the Alabama legis-

veto bill to prohibit newspapers

liquor advertisements and to prevent
circulation in the state of papers
published outside Alabama carrying
such advertising. The dispatch from

not tell us how the dry zealots are
going to keep outside papers with
liquor advertisements from circulating
within the state. Arrest the mail
carriers and close the post offices?

that gives majority vote for National

THE Post Dispatch intimates that if
there is too much dry legislation at
Jefferson City the Democratic party
will be held responsible therefor, and
St. Louis will retaliate at the polls.
Any one who reads the REGISTER
knows this paper is not dry. But we
don't like such threats as that made
by the P. D. st. Louis has too often
"retaliated" against the Democratic
party, and you can't blame the rural
legislator very much if he does want
to "hand' something to the big City.

SPEAKING of the tendency of fanat-
ical endeavor in legislation, an ex-
change tells the cause truly and
succinctly: "Perhaps the most strik-
ing development of our government
is that the laws are not made by all
the people nor by representatives of
the people, but by small cliques, high
ly organized and tremendously en-
ergized over particular questions.
These cliques are determined to force
their views upon the whole people,
while at the same time other cliques
are forcing views on other questions
upon them"

FROM Gaty Pallen's Jefferson City
correspondence to the st. Louis Re-
public: Representative Frank Farris
of Phelps County, who is in class to
himself as an orator, is willing to
sacrifice the appellation of "Senator''
for that of "Judge." He has served
in the upper branch of the General
Assembly, and the majority of Mis-
sourians always refer to him as
"Senator" Farris. He is going to be
candidate for Circuit Judge in the
district now presided over by Judge
Leigh B. Woodside. The fact that
probably this will be "Senator''
Farris' farewell appearance as law
maker in Jefferson City is to be re-
gretted. He may have his political
enemies who fear him, but his ability
as aleader will always be recognized.' =

THE Leo Frank case is indeed q
cause celebre and the final decision
of the U. s. Supreme Court is awaited
with anxiety, not only in Georgia, but
throughout the Union. Frank was
found guilty by an Atlanta jury Of the
murder of young girl, almost solely
upon the testimony OF a vicious,
drunken negro, himself suspected Of
the crime. Some Of the prosecution's
deductions from the evidence sub
mltted remind me strongly of Sergeant
Buzfuz in Bardell vs. Pickwick. He
made a designing monster of Pick
wick through the latter's order for
"chops and tomato sauce,D commu-
nicated to the widow by note. The
Judge who presided at Franks trial
says, according to the Post Dlspatch's
special correspondent, that the jury
would have found verdict OF guilty
even though the Lord had sent down
angels to testify to bis innocence.
