TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION EKLY Times, publis will be sent to jostage paid, tor > ress It is aright guarantee to us by the Constitution to change our politi- cal opiniens aud affiliations as often | as we desire. No one questions | the right of any farmer or other | citizen of Bates county turning his political coat for or without a cause, | if he so minds. In his new beliefs he is guaranteed the right of free} speech, and he can court and flatter his new love as ardently us a spring lover. No one objects to this; we repeat, it isa right guaranteed to him by the Constitution of the Uni. ted States and of the state of Mis. souri. But he should remember that the same right is guaranteed to every other citizen. It is said that during the late war ifa man was a southern sympathizer and ohanged his opinions, he became one of the most extreme loyalists and went further in his abuse and cruel treatment of his former neigh- bors than any extremeist who had always been loyal. This was but natural. He wanted to make an ex ternal manifestation to show to his friends that bis conversion was gen uine. So it isin politics, the desert- er is the most persistent howler and villifier of his former party asso- ciates. But then he has a right to pursue this policy if it is to his like- ing. But what right has he to say to his old associates, I will abuse you from the stump and in private convereation, in season and out of season, I will make you so vile, dark and damnable that all honest men will flee from you as a leper, but you must remain silent and not say ought agginst me, for Iam of a pure and holy party now, and if you say aught against me, I will have my fellows, whom I control, boycott you and defeat you in politics but ruin your business. When men become so conceited, biggotted and arrogant is it not time for the American citizen, who loves freedom, truth and fair- ness in all things to calla halt and say “Thus far shall thou go and no further in assailing free speech and human liberty.” During the local option agitation three years ago the town of Car- thage went dry by about 400 major- ity, and hag remained a local option city until a few days ago, when the question was again submitted to test the sense of the people as to wheth er the county court should grant sa- loon license or refuse them. In Car thage a majority vote rules and in the test the other day the vote stood about 400 in favor of license. This is another evidence that local option in these small towns does not pro- hibit and wherever tried has proven 4 total failure and a disgust to law abiding citizens. Warrensburg is canother small town that has been under the temperance influence for the past twelve years and the fallicy | of late became so obnoxious to right thinking people that the system of overthrown and ‘now that city has three or four li tensed saloons and the town is get- ting the benefit of the tax which oth-|raising, fish culture, bee keeping, | erwise would go into the pockets of the joint keepers and druggists. Sedalia people make a strong fight against the removal of the Mis- souri, Kansas & Texas offices to Parsons. Injunction proceedings ‘have begun under the act of the legislature of 1891. The suit is by the State and other suits will follow. One suit will be for $25,000 paid by Sedalia as a bonus for the location of the office in that city. Charges are made by Sedalia people that the officers of the road are interested in property at Parsons, the value of Ex Congressman W. Lo Scott, a leader in the democratic counsels of Pennsylvania, died at New Port, Rhode Island, Saturday uight. It is estimated he was worth $20,000,000. He was born in Washington, D. C., July 2, 1825, Lis parents were native Virginians. He began life as « page in the house of representatives in 1540 aud held tue office until 1846. In 1848 he settled in Erie, Pa, found employment in a shipping He made money and in 1850 engaged in the coal and house business. Success led him to higher ventures, and he became largely in- | terested in the manufacture of iron, | without unloading his first grist to also in the construction of railroads, and as president or director of vari- ous lines he was largely interested in as many as 22,000 of completed road at one time. his instructions from Washington to Editor Austin has changed his tune somewhat onthe third party move ment as the following extract from the last issue of the Record will show: If any of the Kansas “calamity howlers” are going to Ohio this fall to assist the Democracy in their ef- forts to defeat Shermanand McKin ley, we offer them a little advice: Ist, “Give pedigree” born in Arkansas. dug suake root till twenty one, went to Kansas and took two homesteads, couldn't use them—Government wouldn't build houses, traded one fora saloon and tother one for a Texas pony, traded saloon for a farm with house on it; mortgaged farm to buy printing press; lost it; farm— “ditto” press; tried politics, promis- ed office by both “old parties;” promise broke; old parties corrupt; tried the churches; Baptist, “to much water;” Presbyterian, “to much faith;’ Methodist, “to much meth od, “churches one grand “trust company;” tried farming; run a sa loon, taught school, dealt in ‘opt- everything “run by monopolies.” Am now Alliance speaker and organ- izer at seven dollars a “speak” and four dollars an “organize.” Will stick to this till I get to Nova Sco- tia.

Columbia, Mo., Sept. 17. intitute held by the board of agri culture in your community this fall or winter send in vour invitation at once. The executive committee of the board will, in October, lay out the route and select the points for holding meetings, and all invitations should be in that due consideration may be given each. It will depend upon yourselves whether or not you have an institute in your midst. The board, by rea- son of the liberal appropriation of the thirty-sixth general assembly, will hold the largest and best series ever held in the state; first class lec- turers will be employed and every section of the state visited, preferer- ence being given in the selection of points for holding institutes, to counties not having a meeting last year, providing there is sufficient in- terest manifested. Many invitations have already been received, the greater number from communities where an institute was held last year, urging the board to hold a meeting and promising to work to make it a success, by secur- ing an attendance. We cannot in justice neglect these invitations unless you do as well. Ali that is expected of yeu is to provide & warmed and lighted hall where the institute may be held, and then every man who is interested in ani mal diseases, stockfeeding or breed- ing, dairying, poultry raising, fish horticulture or general farming should talk about the meeting, de- termine to be present with his wife and urge his friend and neighbor al- so to attend. If you have a knotty point in any division of your farm operations.put the matter on paper and have it ready for an answer at the institute. The legislature has done its part, the board, each individual member, will do his part, and it then depends on you, the farmers, to make the in- stitutes a perfect success by being present to receive the benefit to b | derived from | cussions.
