That the public always pays the bin
 IS becoming more emphatically true every day. A few years ago capital was the force that added a new burden 10 the consumers back every time a melon was cut. A couple of railroads were merged, the combined capital stock or both before the merger was doubled and the people compelled to pay earnings enough for handsome di- Vidends on the water. Then there was a general uprising against such things and they become very unpopular. The captains of high finance acknowledged their sins, repented and promised to be good forevermore. Whether they nave kept their promises or not We do not know But it is certain that we read no more of the sickening details whereby a few favored gentlemen are able 10 divide up millions of profits on deals made with insurance com.
 h--~' NNAANsI anu SuGll lHlnRS. The finance captains found that they had lost the confidence of the public, that they were pariahs and that whereas once they had dictated to the high officials in state and nation what was to be done, that whereas they once had created and owned judges and sen- ators, now they were repudiated by their former slaves and could not even get justice. It became notorious that corporations of certain class, rail- roads, steamship companies, street car companies and in fact nearly all large concerns could not win a case before jury. And when the court of ap
 peals no longer was owned by them they simply had to be good or go out of business. The public became unjust 10 large concerns merely because they were large and because public feeling goes in waves which when started continue unrelentingly in waves until their course is run and then they9go back again. The public used no judg- ment All big corporations were bad just because they were big. The clamor was no better than the rawlings of certain agitators that all rich peo- pie are bad people the corrollary of which naturally is that all noor neo- pie are good people. One Is as untrue as the other, there are good people in | all walks of life and bad people too. l
 The captains of industry having had | their turn as robbers of the people. l as criminals at the bar, and as repen- tant sinners under a suspended sen- J tence, we now find ourselves face to | face with another group of men just | as eager to rob the public on as large |

WOULD OIL STATE HIGH
WAY ACROSS AUDRAIN

To oil The Blue Book Route from
Louisiana to Kansas City, where it
is not already improved with gravel
is the plan of State Highway Com
missioner Frank Buifum, according
to a letter received by the Ledger
to place the matter before the
people of this section with a view of
having such improvements made on
that section Of the highway which
passes through Audrain county and
Mexico.
Mr.. Buffam asks that those inter-
tested here take the matter in hand. He
says that after the road has been
properly graded and placed in the
can be applied at a small expense.
AS a considerable portion Of this
road is so far from rock OF gravel
that it is not going to be possible
probably at the present time to give
is hard surface he suggests this
substitute. ,
Mr.. Buffam believes if several cars
of oil can be bought in each county
where it is required it may be pos
sible to get the manufacturer Of an
oil sprinkler to demonstrate the ma
chine across the state by oiling this
highway. This is a most important
matter and one which should be given
immediate attention.

GUS Missouri Resort

Excelsior Springs, Mo,
March 20, 1916.
My Dear MI. White:-
This is our first visit to Excelsior
Springs and we r certainly pleased.
Sorry we didn't not start coming here
sooner. l do not think the place is
appreciated by the Missourians . We
have met people here from many
states; great numbers from Iowa,
Minnesota and Nebraska, some have
been coming here for twenty years.
The hotel accommodations are fine,
they try in every way to please and
entertain their guests.
The largest number of people are
registered here now than at any prev
ious time. So l say why go to Hot
Springs when a few hours ride will
bring us here where we can get just
as good or better? I am going to be
a booster for Excelsior. MI. johnson
is getting a much needed rest.
Sincerely,
FANNIE G. JOHNSON.

CENSORSHIP GIVES BIRTH
TO RUMORS FROM FROM

The strict censorship established
by the U. S. government along the
Mexican border means that Ell Paso
and other cities. for a time at least
will be the m centers of this coun-
try. When the Junior Editor Of the
Ledger was in Texas two years ago
he met Rex Beach and another news
paper correspondent bount for Vera
Cruz. But when they learned Of the
strict censorship in force there they
gave up the trip. The same ruling
of the government applies in the pres
ent situation as did then, although it
is believed not quite SO strict.
The regulations provide that every
accredited correspondent shall have
deposited with the War Department
$1,000 cash and a bond of $4,000 fol
the correspondents good conduct ir
