It transpires that Joshua Smith was a victim of mistake. After serv- ing five years in the West Virginia penitentiary for a crime for which he has been proven innocent, he has been pardoned.

Remember and seleet your very best men for towuship commit- teemen, The Chillicothe Constitution makes the truthful ebservation: ‘“Demo- erats from all parts of the state are demanding that Sam Cook be nomi- nated for governor in 1904, Mr. Cook's service to his party, his inti- timate knowledge of state affairs and his unquestioned titness for the place lead in popularity that it will be im- possible for any other candidate to overcome.” Mr, Cook has endeared himself to the Democracy of Missouri through his intelligent, faithful and unselfish party service. He is ad- mirably qualified for the governor- ship of Missouri, both in ability and sverling honesty. If we are bound to have Cuba, says the Boston Heraid, we may as well seize the island without more ado. What is one promise more or less when so many have been broken al- ready?

Missouri has the cleanest, wisest and most economical government ofanystatein the union, The “books have been examined” and they prove the honesty and fidel- ity of the dominant party.” A report issued by the state board of agriculture, of Kansas. gives the acreage of wheat in Kansas at 5,- 883,644 acres of which 1,080,709 have been damaged to such an extent by unfayorable weather that it will be plowed up and the land devoted to other crops. It is said much of the injury to the crop is attributed to overpasturing. The Goulds have five fine horses from Saline county, Mo., a Gould agent having recently bought there a fine saddle animal for Miss Helen Gould, paying $350 for it. The Pres- ident and Prince Henry of Prussia also ride Missouri horses. The Mis- souri horse is in demand wherever it is known.—Post-Dispatch.
