TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION ‘The Weexny Time Wednesday, wil! one year, post tor $1 NOT DEVENT NOR IN ORDER Honorable Thomas Jetfersou Hen deickson was invited by the Fourth of July committee tu deliver an ad dress appropriate to the celebration of our Natal day. This sion when all Americans, is un occa- bo matter politics ae cankai in what their religious or ereeis, should mingle appropriately cele- brate the birthday of the greatest nation on the face of the earth. The orators for the occasion are suppos- fellowship and ed to be able to soar above the ordi- nary, everyday conflicts of life and roview, in eloquent phraseology, the deeds of daring and works of wis- dom of our ancestors, acts made this the year all lovers of independence and But the expansive brain of the honorable Thomas is capable of retaining only He has been la- boring for some time to enlighten the world on financial matters and, of course, can’t consider any other question until he has that satisfacto- rily settled. Instead of a patriotic address suitable for the occasion, and for which purpose the who by their one day of the hberty should reverence. one idea at 2 time. delivering committee did him the honor to in-! vite him, he relieved himself of a political harangue that would hardly have done credit toa ward bummer He singled out two of establishments of politician. the banking our town and heaped his vituperation upon them, but failed to tell why he made exceptions of like instituticus. He preduced his long array of fig ures on banks and railroads, which every man, woman and child in Bates county had ample opportuni- ty to hew during the cempaign last fal. He told in glowing terms of the wonders performed by the Hon orable Thomas Jefferson Hendrick- son during the last legislature, and it is well he did for it is the only way the people will ever have of finding it out, as the House journal is significantly silent on that question. Tn fact Mr. Hendrickson’s speech Was not in order, was not appropri- ate to the oceasion, and was not even decent, and the committee made a mistake in inviting him to speak on that occasion. Gevernor Francis appointed the following members of the text book commission, provided for in the law passed at the last session of the gislature: Judge Elijah H. Nor ‘ton, ex-supreme justice of Missouri; Hon. U. 8. Hall, president of the state farmers alliances; Prof. George L. Osborne, principal of the War- rensburg Normal school and Thos. J. Lingle, editor of the Henry Co., Demoerat. These appointees are all able gentlemen, well qualified, no doubt, to perform the duties devol+- ing upon the commission, but the appointments are in the nature of a surprise to the general public as the general impression was entertained that the governor would appoint on this commission practical educators ofthe state, men engaged in the work, who were thoroughly conver sant with the needs of the schools and the very best system of text- books to secure, This a very impor- tint commission and on {the judg- ment and good sence of the members depsnds the success of the law and an annual saving to the people of the state who have children to educate. It is astep in the right direction, and while it will work a hardship at the start in adopting a system for the state, even this can be mate- tially lessened by the commission familiarizing itself with the text- books now in use and trying to con- form to them as near as possible.

It would be still better to adopt the neologism of the Globe- Demo crat, and say that the reformer would return tu his old oceupation as 8 Journeyman jawsmith jaw.—Brookly Mr. C. T. Pevey, president of the Midland Elevator Co. of Kansas City has sent out the following letter in which he urges that the farmers should stack the grain before thresh- ing. He says: Our observation has b en in years past, that wheat properly stacked after harvest, and allowed to go through the natural curing process, is more merchautable than when threshed and shipped to market di- rectly after cutting. We believe it will be to the interest of all concern ed that wheat be stacked, as unques tionably, if threshed from the shock it will sell at a heavy discount under old wheat as it will not be in export coudition. Kindly give all possible publicity to this suggestions. The early erop movement will be heavy, and the prospects are that the off grades of the new product will be sacrificed in the leading consumptive centers be- cause of poor condi Before the McKinley tariff went into effect tin plate cost $4.50 a box i then tin plate has advanc ed to .

Please tell us who pays Mr. Niedringhaus this $50,000 profit If not the people who buy tinware then who?
