vALEDICTORY

Last Saturday, December IL, deal
was consummated whereby the stock
controlled by me in The Pennington
Times Printing Co. passed to A. w
Bradshaw, an old Missouri news
paper man of wide experience, who
has assumed the editorship and man.
agement of The Times.
Being favorably impressed with
his congenial disposition and gen.
tlemanly bearing, l have every rea-
son to believe he will be able to main
tain The Times at its present high
standard, and perhaps add to the
value of the paper. Ny best wishes
for him and The Times are CRATE
fully extended.
During the Is months / have had
the editing and managing of The
Times, several rough places have
been crossed; many corrugated and
uneven surfaces smoothed; several
hills have been climbed; the ascend
ing, at times, very slow and difficult;
yet, no obstacle proved decisive bar
rier. Long live The Pennington
Times. 1t is ripe in years, being in
the 43rd year of its existence, and in
all this time has never missed an is
sue.
| desire to thank the good people,
of Pennington and surrounding coun-
try, who have so nobly stood by and
for The Times during my sojourn here,
and | wish to express my appreciation
of every kindness, courtesy and con-
sideration shown. .
Your unhinching loyalty, your de-
voted patronage, your interest in
maintaining The Times, the cham
pion of the rights and principles of
Democracy, will ever be extolled by
your former servant. When tares
and weavil have appeared in the
wheat, the reap-hook and the screen
were used with a view to eliminating
and removal.
Extending best wishes, and asking
you to kindly excuse my rather sud
den resignation, l beg leave to in
troduee to you Mr.. A. w. Bradshaw,
who will serve you henceforth.
Signed: P. E. RHODES.

In March, 1886, Isaac Rodehaver
began the publication of the st. Fran
co.'s County Democrat as a Democrat
ic paper, but in November of the same
year it was purchased by John Harris
horn and converted to a Republicans
paper. In 1884 T. P. Pigg established
The Pennington News, which was con-
Quoted by him until 1900, when he
transferred it to the present owners.
The educational facilities of FARM
ington are unexcelled. Besides the
excellent system of public schools,
there are two colleges, the Ozark Bus
mess University and Carleton Col
lege. The present splendid public
school system was established about
1870 and modest two-story frame
building was erected and teachers en-
ployed. The schools have grown in
favor and increased in number until
at present time this city has one Of
the best public school systems in the
State: two ward schools and high
school, the high school being in the
accredited class.

HISTORY OF PENNINGTON
Continued from Page ~

In 1872 The Pennington Times was
established by C. E. Ware and l. H.
Rodehaver, and run by them until
1875, then for about two years was
under the management of R. H. Syl-
vester. Mr.. T. D. Fisher became ed
itor of The Times in January, 1879,
and in 1881 also became proprietor, in
which capacity he continued until
1902, when it was consolidated with a
rival Democratic paper, the St. Fran
co.'s Herald, and Incorporated as a
stock company, Mr.. Fisher continu-
ing as editor and stakeholder until
1913, when he sold his stock to Rev.
R. G. Moore and retired as editor, Mr..
Moore succeeding to the position. In
1914 R. C. Moore transferred his stock
to P. E. Rhodes, P. E. Rhodes being
made editor and M. A. Rhodes, presi-
dent. This week December 13, 1870
the Messrs. Rhodes disposed Of their
stock in The Times to A. w. Brad
shaw, an experienced newspaper man,
and the paper under its new manage
ment starts off with the hope of i'm
provement from week TO week.

Rev William ]. Williamson. a Ba

Rev William J. Williamson, Bap-
fist preacher of st. Louis, who
achieved some notoriety last summer
by spending his vacation at ex-
Prize-fighter Muldoon's athletic san
atorium up in the Adirondacks, took
occasion at a meeting of the Nation
al Security League in st. Louis the
other night to characterize President
Wilson as "the most spineless Presi-
dent since Buchanan" But, though
the reverend gentleman may have de-
veloped his biceps under the training
of that specialist of multimillion-
aire physical faddists, Mr.. Muldoon,
he is so far outdistanced by Col.
Teddy when it comes to hurting
meaningless and Intellectual adiec-
tives at the President, that he stands
no show of shining in the galaxy of
scolds. The Colonel has surfeited us
with that sort of intellectual fam
boyance and is in class all by him
self, for which latter the country has
reason to be thankful, so let all am
bilious imitators hide their inefficient
talent in that line. They sound stale,
fiat and Improbable after one of
Teddy's flaming skyrockets.

America now may make peaceful
conquest of the world" said President
Wilson in his Columbus speech on
the 10th instant, "and l say that with
all the greater confidence, gentlemen,
because | believe and hope that the
belief does not spring merely from
the hope that when the present great
conflict in Europe is over the world
is going to wear different aspect.
! do not believe that there is going
to be any patched-up peace, be-
lieve that thoughtful men of every
country and of every sort will insist
that when we get peace again we shall
have guarantees that it will remain
and that the instrumentalities Of JUS
tice will be exalted above the instru-
mentalities of force"

We don't know what National Com
mitteeman Taggart Of Indiana has
against Vice President Marshall, but
it is given out that he is grooming
Gov. Ralston of that State for Mr..
Wilson's running mate. On dit, also,
that Committeeman Roger Sullivan of
Illinois will champion James Hamil-
ton Lewis for that honor. Anybody
put forward by either of these Com
mitteemen is likely to disturb Mr..
Bryan in his peace program.

In his speech to business men at
Columbus, Ohio, last Friday, Presi-
dent Wilson declared himself firm
believer in the Virginia bill of rights.
He said "This bill of rights says some
things that are very pertinent to bus
mess. They assert the absolute
equality of right on the part of indi-
viduals to access to opportunity. That
is the reason | am opposed to monop-
oily, not because monopoly does not
produce some excellent results of a
kind, but because it is intended to
shut out lot of people who ought
not to be shut out; and l believe that
democracy is the only thing that vi
talizes the whole people instead Of
vitalizing only some Of the people of
a country"

SALUTATIoN

With this issue the undersigned as
sumes the editorial and business man.
agement of The Pennington Times.
In succeeding to this position, we do
so with a full sense of the response
biliay entailed. Thirty odd years Of
active newspaper experience has
taught us the Importance of present
ing to our readers in each issue Of the
paper carefully edited copy, and we
do not feel that we are presuming
when we express the belief that we
shall be able to send to Times read
ers only things they should know.
In other words, we believe the mis-
sion of a newspaper is to print all the
news that is fit to print, insofar, at
least, as Pennington and vicinity is
concerned. This will be our unend-
ing effort, and this, we believe, we
can accomplish, as we become ac-
quainted and get the field of work
properly mapped.
Introductory to our work on The
Pennington Times, we will state we
are Missouri bred, having labored in
different parts of this State up to ten
years ago, when we moved to Texas,
and later, to Oklahoma. That we are
glad to get back to this State should
be sufficient evidence of our opinion
of Missourians. We love the old State
for what she is, and do not believe
there is another that compares with
her in splendid citizenship and worthy
institutions.
Politically The Times will continue
to be Democratic under it's present
management, for the reason that we
believe most strenuously in the prin-
ciples Of true Democracy, in which
lies the only hope of the future per-
manent welfare of this country.
We might go on indefinitely telling
of things which we hope and expect to
accomplish through The Times, but as
it is perhaps your desire to "be
shown, it is also our desire to
"show you" We wish to state here,
however, that it shall always be our
intention to give full value for every
dollar received in this office on sub
scription, advertising and job work.
Theo. d. Fisher, for many years
editor of The Times and who needs
no introduction to the people of st.
Francois county, will assist us in the
editorial department of the paper.
Finally, it is our earnest desire to
become personally acquainted with
every man, woman and child in St.
Francois and adjacent COUNTIES, and
shall never overlook an opportunity
to that end. We trust that you, dear
reader, whoever you may be, will al
ways feel as free to drop into The
Times Office as you will be welcome.

Wilson as An Epigrammatist.

President Wilson has never been
noted, we believe, as an epigramma-
tist, but here are a few terse sem
fences taken from his speech before
the Chamber of Commerce at Column
bus, Ohio, last Friday, that will pass
as model epigrams and grains of wis
dom:
"America is great, not, as a govern
ment, but as an accomplishment of
Successful citizenship"
"The object of organization ought
not to be 'exclusion--it ought to be
efficiency. The only legitimate OBJ
ject of organization is efficiency
"The spirit of exclusion and mon
opoly is not the American spirit"
81 have sometimes heard exhorta-
tons to the effect that politics ought
not to be injected into business. 1t is
just as important that you should not
inject business into politics, because
so far as the business of this country
is concerned there ought not to be any
politics"
"You cannot sell unless you buy.
Commerce is only an exalted kind of
barter"
"There were times when there were
limited circles in the eastern portion
Of our great country who thought
they knew more about business in the
other parts of the country than the
people who lived in those parts of the
country. / always doubted them.
now know that they did not"
"For you will have to admit, gen.
tlemen, that American business men
have been timid. They have constant
ly run to Washington and said: 1T
looks like rain; for Gods sake give us
shelter"
"The characteristic American COM
munity for long time was the from
tier community made on the spot and
made according to the local patterns.
So that when hear Americans beg
ging to be assisted by authority, /
wonder where they were born, won-
der how long they have breathed tn
air Of America. | wonder where their
81 49,.
papers of spiritual naturalization
are"
81, gentlemen, am a Democrat, as
you probably have heard, and / am a
militant Democrat, but it is because
I believe that the principles of De-
mocracy will be of more service to the
country than any other kind Of princi-
Piles. Not because / believe Demo-
Gratis are better than Republicans; it
is because | think Republicans are
mistaken and Democrats right and /
hope and believe that I hold that con-
viction in no narrow partisan spirit"

Death of Senator cockrelI.


A wave of universal sorrow swept
over the State when the news was
flashed from Washington that former
Senator Francis Marion Cockrell had
serenely passed away in that city on
the morning of December 10, 1915
while sitting in a chair listening to
his daughter-in-law, Mrs. John Cock
rell, read the news in the morning
papers.
1t was the fortune of the writer of
these lines to have known Senator
Cockrell through the dark vicissitudes
of the civil war, and to have enjoyed
his personal friendship and confidence
throughout his successful public ca
reer. We have seen him in the midst
Of terrible scenes that tried all The
elements of physical as we'll as moral
courage. Rising from the ranks to
captain, to lieutenant colonel, to col
onel of the Second Missouri Infantry
C. S. A., and then to the command Of
the First Missouri Brigade, he never
lost touch with his men nor his affec-
Tomato interest in them. Though
wearing the stars and lace Of brig
adler general, in camp he often left
headquarters and was seen sitting
around the camp fires chatting with
them like comrade. There were few
men in the brigade whom he did not
know by name. And how they loved
him!
He was a soldier who never gave
the command, forward, my brave
boys" that he was not in the van of
the. charge, and wherever his stall
wart form was seen with his sword
flashing in the sun light, there would
the old First Missouri Brigade rally,
however pitiless the flame of mus
kerry, the scream of shell and the
groan of wounded and dying. Never
was there more gallant soldier, nor
one more loved and trusted by his
men.
But true and brave and generous
as he was as soldier, it is in the
pleasanter walks of peace that we
like to remember him. The same
high ideals and courageous sense of
duty that marked his career as sol
der, were living, vital principles
with him that colored all his private
and eventful public life in peace.
With his open-hearted, his faithful
friendship, his broad patriotism, and
his sweet spirit Of tolerance and love
for all mankind, it is not strange
that he was universally trusted and
admirably political adversaries as
well as adherents-and that the peo-
pie of our State were proud to call
him "Missouri's Grand Old Man"
He was so years old. Ripe in years,
life's duties well done, and mind I'M
clouded, with the "faith which is the
substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not SEEM" he
. wraps the drapery of his
couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant
Dreams"
