AN EDIToR,s COMMISSION.

Says the LitchfIeld UH) News
Herald: Not long ago a man came
into this office and stopped his paper
because he said II was always print
ing lot Of things about the same peo-
pie and he said he was sick OF 1t. Now
when something goes wrong with the
country the government appoints a
commission to investigate and find out
what is the matter, and the first thing
a commission investigates In the man
who made the holler to see IL the hol-
Ter was a reasonable holler. So we
appointed commission consisting OF
ourselves to investigate this man. We
just followed the mans career ever
since we knew him. The first thing
that happened to that man was that
he was born, but he had nothing to
do with 1t. However, we mentioned
him, although his parents were enti-
tied to the credit. When he was in
his early twenties he got married
We mentioned that, including the
name Of the bride. the preacher, etc,
In fact, we mentioned everything but
the preachers fee, which was not
worth mentioning. We never mem
TONED the fact that he never won any
premiums at the county fair. because
he never exhibited anything. We
never mentioned his name In the list
Of committees, because he never at
tended anything. We never mentioned
his name in the list of donors, pe-
cause he never donated as much as a
doughnut We certainly have been
treating this man shamefully, but we
will agree to run nice obituary when
the time comes.

AN AsTRocIous HORROR

hN 40 oiNVNAOOo AANRAtOes
THE lynching Of Leo Frank is an
rocious horror. The whole treat
ent of Frank, eliminating in his
wage murder, is lasting shame to
e laws Of Georgia and to the gov
snment Of Georgia.
The whole Nation is humiliated by
Ris sickening tragedy. The whole
Eation expresses its horror and con-
emnation. That the United States,
Banding in protest against the brut-
|lities done in the hot blood of war,
|hould have this brutal stain cast on
! S peaceful civilization is horrible.
Reparation? Georgia should make
|uch reparation as can pc made by the
punishment for murder of every
lrutal member Of the mob. 1t should
Punish to the limit Of conscience the
'riminals Of the law who connived at
|he murder or whose criminal neg.
Hgence permitted it.
But full reparation, that wipes oui
bully the stain on Georgia's name anc
Eeorgia's honor, there cannot be. Il
will take years for that state to re.
aecm itself for the terrible night Of
BRINE which followed Franks terrible
bays in the Georgia courts.--Kansa

AFTER BoOTLEGGERs.
Acting Governor Painter Will Adopt
Measures to rid State of Them.

Governor Hays of Arkansas. .tele-
graphed to acting Governor Painter
that the blind tigers at Mammoth
Springs are in Missouri and not in
Arkansas, as the local Oregon county,
Missouri, officials stated There are
two Of these joints, the Arkansas Gov
ernor says, and one of them received
carload of booze last Saturday
night. He states in very strong Ian
guage that the sheriff and prosecut-
ing attorney of Oregon county are not
doing their duty. Mammoth Springs
is on the line between Missouri and
Fulton county, Arkansas. The terri
tory is dry on both sides Of the line,
btu the joint keepers flourish never
theless. ~
Last week Lieutenant Governor
Painter telegraphed to the prosecut-
ing attorney of Oregon county to pro-
ceed to close the joints in Missouri.
The latter wired back that only soft
drinks were sold in Missouri. It is
the opinion of the Lieutenant Cover
nor that if the officers of Oregon
county would do their duty, there
would be no occasion for controv-
ersy with the Arkansas authorities.
The Lieutenant Governor says that
he is going 70 put the Missouri boot
leggerk out Of business even if he has
to resort to strong measures to ac-
complish this end.--Jefferson City

Because of the rain, Tuesday and
Wednesday the Mexico Fair Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. will have more
features and show rings than any
State Fair in the Country. The two
days lost will be doubled into Thurs

voted to the automobile races. There
will be all Of the big show rings in
these two days. The Aeroplane flights
and motorcycle races, three each day,
the running races and the county plug
races. Everything viii be given that
time allows. 1t viii be the biggest
three days of Fair ever witnessed in
the state.
Pendhayn, the aviator, arrived
Wednesday morning with his monster
biplane. The machine is being ASSEM-
bled and will be ready for flight
Thursday morning. His flying is said
to be sensational in every way, The
motorcycle races have four profess
sionals entered and it is quite likely
some Of the local amateurs will con-
test also.
The $500 saddle stake, the $500
stake, the 5000 harness stake and the
two divisions Of the Missouri Saddle
Horse Futurity as well as the many
other big rings will make the program
interesting.
John Woods, Of Paris, who has been
successful this season has good
string at the Fair. His mare Cigar
cite has been a winner this year. Al
the Knox City fair she won the $1,000
stake and got the red ribbon at Mob

days, move. back their fences to give
40 feet between fences, or authorize
it to be done, as we find good road
can not be built, especially on fiat
ground without that width of right Of
way SO as to get sufficient material to
make proper drainage on the side, and
the proper crown withoutmaking too
narrow and too steep, otherwise we
have muddy lanes in late fall, all win
ter and spring.
Fourth: That they will agree to
put in the eulverts that are missing in
their county.
Fifth: To cut any hedges that may
be over feet high, the legal height,
and pull hedges 150 feet back from
corners, as matter Of safety.
Sixth: To agree to round all road
corners, and make S shaped turns at
all short jogs.
Seventh: To agree to grade the
road the entire distance across their
county and at once.
Eighth: To agree to keep the road
dragged the balance of the year, and
come to meeting with written guaran-
tee from farmers, citizens and Com
mercial Clubs that expense will be
taken care Of by them.
1t is not the object of this Depart
ment to have meeting Of talking,
and to have delegates come uniform
ed, and afraid to commit their local
tiles, and say what probably will be
done, but we want to absolutely know
from each county or section Of county
across the state that they will take
care of their road and comply with
these conditions, and come prepared
| by previous Investigations and with
authority given them TO pledge their
locality.
To be plain with you, these high
ways we want fixed up first for the
benefit of the farmers, SO they can get
their crops and stock to town at the
most advantageous time; to be able
to safely hold them on rising mar
ket; and to get them in promptly on
a falling market; to allow merchants
to know if they buy large stocks of
goods, that they are liable to keep the
stocks unsold, on account of bad
roads; to further encourage the build
ing of side roads leading up to this
highway; to enable children to get to
their schools; TO furnish good road
any day in the year for people to go
to their churches, and to. take advan-
ltage of u good road at times when too
