VOL. XXIV. BUTLER. MISSOURI, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1901 SAM COOK ON LEGISLATIVE BOODLERS. Republican Members Join With Corrupt Democrats to Help the Lobby. Wardwell and Lyons Made. Disgraceful Records. To the Editor of The Republic. Jefferson City, Mo., Nov 2.—In ul Ate in the last campaign got rid of veral of their most disreputable mbers of the former Legislature, you might have gone further, and, th equal truth, safd that but for vt : P the practically unanimotis co-opera- tion of the Republican members of the General Assembly—both House and Senate—with the few dishonest members of the Democratic side, the lobby would have been powerless to have accomplished anything in this State for years past. Tdo not wish to be understood as saying that thes Republicans in Mis- souri do not elect any honest men to the Legislature, but I do say, and the records of both houses will dis- close the fact, that the Republican members have solidly voted and co- operated’ from the opening to the close of these sessions with the cor- pt Democratic minority. nyone at all familiar with polit cK, parties in this State knows that this condition has existed for many years. If the Republicans wouldelect the same percentage: of honest men tothe General Assembly as do the Democrats, the corrupt lobby would promptly go out of business. * SANDBAGGERS AND LOBBYISTS. Equally vicious with the lobby, however, is the sandbagging member who undertakes, and too often suc ceeds, in levying tribute on legitimate business interests of the State. The Legislature, of which both Cardwell and Lyons were members, contained entirely too many sanbaggers and boodlers, and the records will show thatthe Republican members in both House and Senate voted practically gid with the lobby and the sand- grers ou editorial this morning, calling!

Cook Butler is enjoying somewhat of a boom, and both city and county are giving employment to large numbers of men. The county is building a handsome, new $50,000 court house, the material used being the famed Carthage (Mo.) limestone, The city is putting ina new and commodious electric light plant. In addition, the M.E. church people are just finishing ahandsome, modern $8,000 house of worship. Rev, Jones, the pastor, kindly showed-us through the build- ing, und incidentally remarked that it was the intention of the city au- thorities to furnish lights free to all the churches in the city. Much of the time spent in Bates county was given to visiting friends in the county, and right royally was Lentertained.

Bates county has the distinction of showing more different kinds of soil to the quarter section than any county in Missouri, and pretty near all of it is good soil, There is another thing which distin- guishes Bates from her sister counties, Lord Scully, the well-known Trish landlord, swooped down on Bates, several yearsago, and purchased sev- eral thousand acres of the best farm- ing lands, and since that time he has been adding to his possessions, until now, it is said, he owns almost 50,- 000 aeres of the most fertile lands in thecounty. He was there again, last week, and purchased » couple of thousand more acres of choice lands, and is not done yet.

Rope Broke With Negro. Raliegh, N. C., Nov 2.—At Fayette- ville, N.C., to-day Louis Council, a negro convicted of committing a criminal assault on a young white woman, Mrs. James West, in Cum- berland county, was hanged on the seaffoid. Council was asked if he was guilty. He replied: ‘Before God and man, I am innocent,” and a priest, taking the cross from Council’s hand, de- clared him innocent. When the trap was sprung the rope broke and the negroes bedy fell to the floor. Another rope was se- cured and the prisoner coolly walked upon the scaffold.

Its leading editorial. to- day has caused a political sensation, but it correctly expresses a sentiment prevailing in the populist ranks throughout the state, but which no other populist has has had the cour- age to express.

Poplar Bluff, Mo., November 2.— The fiercest forest fires since 1885 are raging on the range a few miles south of this city. The woods have been in flames for three days, and horses are in danger. Farmers and stockmenfhuve turned out en masse to-day to fight the flames, but they have made but little progress. The fire will cause a famine for feed for cattle this winter, on account of the drouth this summer, cutting crops short. Kentucky Democrats Gain.

In young men this feeling is called “swell-head” and in an old man aristocracy. Whatever it may be, it is not gentlemanliness. No young man or old one, can be a gentleman who treats the working- man as-an inferior being. Some of the most intelligent men of the age were at one time—are te-day—the workingmen, men who are notafraid to take off their coats and work at goed bard manual labor. But the man who boasts that he never had to work has good clothes and who | thinks he is doing the working man a great favor by speaking to him, is one the world could get along much better without.
