DON'T CRY LITTLE ONES.

Judging from the Marble Hill Press
of last week, some of the citizens of
that place seem to be boiling over"
with indignation over the fact that
Pennington has entered friendly bid
for the securing of the Will MayfeId
College in case it should be determined
to move that institution to some other
location. authoritative information has
reached the Pennington Chamber of
Commerce that such change was con-
templated. In fact that such a course
had been practically decided upon, and
the local organization had really been
solicited to make an offer for the in
stitution, provided this city was desir-
Gus of securing it. This city has a
splendid school property, not now in
use, and worth at least 100000, which
they have offered to the Will Mayfield
College at very nominal price.
This is all there is to the PROPOSE
ton, so, far as Pennington is concern
ed, and the outbursts of wrath in the
Press last week certainly indicates that
the writers of those various "disclos-
ures" in regard to Pennington must
have been considerably "het up" be-
fore this city's fair and open proposal
was received. No, little ones, we are
not trying to steal your candy"

....-.a MIGHTY FALLENw

Some days ago it was stated in this
paper that J. Kelly Pool Of the State
Prison Board had succeeded with Cow
ernor Hyde in having his meal ticket
renewed for the present administra-
ton. Few Democrats who know Mr..
Pool quite we'll were surprised. Mr..
Pool is always doing or thinking up
some great statesman-like stunt, and
in all that he does he never overlooks
the fact of his own existence on earth.
1t is related that only recently Mr..
Pool discovered a great act to reform,
In his office at the State capitol a
large picture Of Woodrow Wilson had
adorned the wall as long os Mr.. Pool
was drawing money from the State on
the theory that he was Democrat of
Democrats. The other day. perhaps
afted Governor Hyde had told him that
he would be reappointed, Mr.. Pool re-
moved, or caused TO have removed, the
picture Of the late Democratic Presi-
dent and in its place he hung large
picture of Governor Hyde. 1t is great
deeds like this that have convinced
Governor Hyde that Mr.. Pool is an I'M
selfish statesman and one who will

txol the state indefinitely. They knew
that II they ever got this legislation.

mail pouches, one of which WAS belleV-
I'd to have contained S6o,O0o in cur

The robbery occurred shortly after
the pouches had been thrown from 4
rain from ST. Louis.
Feraldo met the train. placed the
pouches in puShcart, and started for
the pOStotfice across the tracks When
the armed trio stepped from an auto
mobile and commanded him TO throw
UP his hands He apparently WAS slow
in complying, and one of the bandits
struck him in the face with his fist.
The other threw the pouches in the
automobile and escaped.
An hour later an abandoned automO-
bile WAS found in corn field fly" miles
