GOVERNMENT

Who is or what is govern
ment? The term itself is pure
abstraction, but in its concrete
form it means in a democratic
sense, a class Of men appointed
by the people to formulate and
execute laws for the regulation
of the conduct Of a nation. The
above class of men, according to
our Constitution, derive their
power and authority from the
governed. Whilst the above pro-
position is true, it is self-evident
to the careful observer that the
power to erect a government is
largely in the hands of inebriat-
ed, sofisticated politicians, puff
ed up with the exuberance of
their own verbosity. The fund
amental right, however, to gov
ern belongs to the people, and if
in former years they have bar
TERED away their right, it is
still within their province to re-
cover the same and use it in a
legitimate, lawful manner.
The government of the nation
state, county and city is an in
alienable Divine right of the
people. Therefore, the govern
ment of st. Francois county
rightfully belongs to the people
and not to strong combine
of corporations and corrupt
politicians. The past history Of
st. Francois county plainly
shows that the working mel
have not governed the county
otherwise they would have haC
a fair representation of officers
in thecounty.
What are the facts in tn,
case? Search the records ant
you will fail to find real repre-
sentatives of the working mel
filling our County and Stat
offices. Some of these officer
claim to belong to the laborinl
class, but when their real affili
atoms are determined it will b
found that they were formerl,
petty bosses, quit reserves o

substantial tools Of corrupt mas
ter politicians.
This state of conditions re-
quires to be remedied and when
government appointments are
to be made the horny handed la
boring man should be consulted,
and not the soft velevty hoard
of bankers and corrupt politi-
clan as has uniformly been done
in the past.
1t is a notorious fact that on
ly once or twice has a man been
appointed to a county Office who
worked for an honest living in
the bowels of the earth. Wake
up working man, whether you
be a Catholic, Protestant, Jew or
Gentle, bond or free, Democrat
or Republican, and demand your
rights. 1t will be an easy mat
ter for you to regain your rights
and dethrone the self-conceited
proud usurper.
Turn a deaf ear to the SIRENS
song, which in the past has lured
you astray. The laboring men
of this county and nation will
come unto their own lawful in
heritance when they learn to
distinguish between their real
and false friends. The men who
are stimulated during an excit-
ing election period by mercenary
, purposes to shout the loudest
praises of working men are US
ually the avowed enemies of la
Dor and are paid for shouting
their praises by the bosses Of
predatory wealth. Beware o.
the lion in sleeps clothing. By
their works we shall know. Tit
laboring men must judge theil
friends by what they do and no
; by what they say. Ask you

Insects That Carry Diseases.

Sir Donald Ross. who discovered how the anopheles or mottled winged mos quito carries malaria. gave ill a lecture an account of other diseases that are carried by insects or bugs. Mosquitoes carry not only malaria, but yellow fever, dengue fever and elephantiasis Glossina morsitans is the carrying agent of the tropical disease known us magma, while tsetse flies are the cause of sleeping sickness.
 The spirochaetes of tick fever are borne by ticks, and a mild fever Is conveyed by sand flies. Plague is due to the rat flea, which carries the para sites in the salivary glands and leaves them in the flesh of whomsoever it bites. Mediterranean fever is carried principally by the milk of infected goats. Leprosy has been attributed to hedbugs. and some are even beginning to think that measles is due to tieas.- London Opinion.

A Gladstone Anecdote.

Lord Alverstone tells this anecdote of Gladstone in his "Recollections:'
 MT. Gladstone was very much in terested in the Caucasus. l had Il friend, Captain K, who had recently come home from that district, and l gave him a letter of introduction to Mir. Gladstone. A few days later 1 met Mir. Gladstone in Parliament street. He stopped me and said. Your friend, Captain K. knows more about the Caucasus than any man ever met A few minutes afterward l met Captain X. in Pail Mall. said to him, Well, you have made a great impression on MT. Gladstone Have I?' he said. tYes,' I replied. He says you know more about the Caucasus than any man he ever met We'll said Captain K, that is very strange, for, though I was with him for three quarters of an hour, l only made three observations

Dead dhea ds.

Exactly how our language came intu possession of the word "deadhead,' ' which is so frequently used in connec. tion with the transportation business. is not known. Of the many versions of its origin which are current the fol. lowing whether correct or not, is at least the most Interesting:
 Many years ago the principal avenue of town passed close to the entrance of toll road leading to a cemetery. As this cemetery had been laid out some time previous to the construction of the road, it was arranged that all funeral processions should be allowed to pass along the road free of toll. One day. as a well known physician who was driving along this road stopped to pay his toll, he observed to the keeper. "ConSidering the benevolent character of our profession, I think you ought to let us pass free of charge"
 No. no, doctor" said the gatekeep- CT, we can't afford that. You send too many deadheadS through as it is
 The story travelled around the coun- try, and in this way the word dead head eventually came to be applied to those who obtain free transportation from railway and steamship lines.-. New York American.

FalIinq Bodies.

Men from the Michigan College of Mines made some interesting expert mentS with falling bodies in the deep vertical shaft of q copper mine at Cal umet, which, says Machinery, has three Of the deepest shafts in the world. The experimenters tried to drop into d box of clay 4,2O0 feet below two metal balls two inches in diameter. one from the center of a shaft nine feet wide and thirty feet long and one from the southwest corner of it. Neither of the balls reached the box of clay. One was never found; the other, probably the one dropped from the center, was found lodged in the timbers in the east side of the shaft. 800 feet from the sur face. In fact. bodies dropped into the shaft invariably lodged in the east wall, because the earth rotates on its axis from west to east. If load of ore were spilled into the shaft most of it would cling to the side of the shaft or land on the levels to the east.
