The news reports tell of a boy named James, in one of the New En- gland states, who had saturated his mind with the cheap stuff written about Jeseo James, resolved to emu- iae some of the deeds of his name- sake, organized and led a band of juveniles, younger than himeelt, his “teusted band,” on a mysterious raid. After leading them a long way through the woods, one little girl be- ‘ame tired and seared and cried to go home. The leader could think of nothing less than death his great prototype would visit upon the head of a “onitter” or “traitor,” so he raised Lis “trusty weapon,” a small bore rifle, and tired, The first shot cut off the end of the little girl's thumb, Then ashamed of his poor morksnuinship, he shot again, and the bullet aped through the little yirl’s breast, making @ mortal wound. The boy deliberately cuta notch in the stock of his **trusty weapon” to record his vietim, The boy in jail exhibits no remorse and keeps the deeds of his hero before him as excuse for his crime, Who in the sight of God is responsible for the taking of that little girl's life? We think fr will be writ on the wrong side of the eternal ledger against the man who wrote and the publisher who disseminate such literature to poison the minds of the youth of the land, ee DEMOCRACY DEFINED. Mr. William ©. McDowell, of New York, president of the Cuban-Ameri- can league, was asked at the close of one of his lectures: “What is the correct conception of democracy?” He replied: “It is an aspiration—a determined purpose—hoping — for, struggling for, fighting to the death for, Liberty—the equal well-being of all men. It ix a religion built upona creed that asserts the natural dig- nity and birthright equality of all men. It is the golden rule, the ten commandments, the Sermon on the Mount, and the American Declara- tion expressed in a single word ” The word “democracy,” it will be seen, has a meaning deep and bruad. It is derived from the Greek and means the rule of the people, and the rule of the people, resting as it does upon the doctrines set forth in the Declaration of Independence, can only be preserved by the cultivation ofa profound and universal respect for human rights. Roth aristocracy and plutoeracy are constantly at war with demo- eracy and the demoerat must be not only vigilant and active, but he must know that his own security rests up- on the protection of the equal rights of all —The Commoner. patina Both the St. Louis Star and Globe- Democrat have been insisting that the Democrats must nominate Mr. Folk for Governor. When the Re- publie put the qnestion plainly whether they would support Mr. Folk, if nominated onthe Democratic ticket, they both confessed they would not. They professed to beim- bued with the patriotic desire of see- ing the Democrats nominate their best man. The Globe Democratsaid The Touchstone of Democracy. The question of the democratic} leadership for 1904 se souls of many men wh rhtest idea of supporting the par- | ty’s candidate, whoever he may be. | These meddters and marplots are of | two kiuds—republicans who begin to | fear that Roosevelt is a reincarnation | of Bryan, and pseudo-democrats who believe, or affect to believe, that wis- dom will die with their idol. We need hardly say that thechoice will not lie with these officious pa- triots who, by their own account, en- acted the role of Brutus in the elec- tions of 1896 and 1900. It is the merest dream to imagine that sack- cloth and ashes will be the garb of the six millions who voted for the Nebraskan in both those memorable contests, Ruther is it to be suppos- ed that this great electorate will think and act for itself, If history has any lesson on such points, we must {nfer that the republican party will become more republican, and that the democratic party will be- come more democratic, as the years roll on, As a matter of fact, the differences between the rival organizations are congenital, and pierce to the very marrow of their being. A fanatical lover of the Hub once declared that Boston is not a place, but a state of mind, It may likewise be affirmed that republicanism and democracy are not mere badges to be worn or discarded at pleasure, but are habits of thought which draw thinkers in opposite directions, just as the cen- tripetal and centrifuga! forces draw material things toward oraway from the earth's center, This view of the ease is exceedingly well put by Mr. Bryan in a letter which he has re cently addressed to the New York In- dependent: ‘The difference upon the money question, among those who understood it, was not so much adif- ference of opinion as a difference of sympathies, and that difference ex ists to day as it did then.” This is but another way of saying thata leopard is to be recognized by his un- changeable spots. It is indeed perfectly true that the silver question, terribly importantin itself, was but one item of a long program; for the demonetization of the white metal, stripped of all technicalities, simply stood for the capitalist’s eternal hunger after the unearned increment. So, too, advo- cates of a prohibitive tariff seek an unfair advantage, and lovers of gov- ernment by injunction would prosti tute public powers to private ends. Between these believers in utterly op- posite creeds there can be neither compromise nor reconciliation The great gulf is fixed in human nature and will endure to the last syllable of recorded time. The struggle of 1904 will turn upon the old issues, though they be modified as to outwardform. For our own part, we care little about the personality of the demo- cratic nominee, provided only that he represents the principles for which tne party must fight, if it is to have the slightest claim to the suffrages ofthe American people. Atthecoun- cil-board of the first president there sat two masterful men who embodi ed ideas which are coeval with the race itself. Hamilton’s name is synonymous with privileges and cen- tralization administration, while Je'- ferson’s renown rests upon his de fense of the many against the few. If those pre-eminent statesmen should return to the land of the living, they would find no difficulty in aligning “the Republicans will look after their| themselves on the controversies of own lines in their own way.” That isexactly what the Democrats have always done and will continue to do. It will do to gamble on that the best interests of the Democratic party will be best subserved by doing the very opposite tu what these partisan Republican sheets advise. —EEEEEE Geo. ©. Dye, who has charge of the free employment bureau at Conven- tion Hall, Kansas City, said Monday that he had applications for 663 men and 100 women. The list of men wanted includes mechanics of all kinds as well as common laborers. Mr. Dye said he could place 2,000 men ithe had them. The wages of fered are much above the usual wages paid. Congreseman Ball of Texas, serves notice on his constituency that he will resign his office next November, in drder to enter the race for Govern- or. That’s right! When a man is not satisfied with the office to which hehas been elected, he should resign before asking for a better one. By so doing he will give other officeseekers a chance to come to the front.—Clin- ton Democrat. this generation. The trimmer may perform a useful function in periods of dead calm— when the ship of state is in the dol- drums and therefore neds no reso- lute helmsman. It is not so when the huge craft is in the straits, men- aced by breakers and storm-clouds, In that event, there is supreme need for & navigator whose vision is keen, whose nerves are of steel and whose knowledge of the chart is without a flaw. No fresh water sailor is to be accepted as a pilot now, nor will we have a captain who would take usto sea under sealed orders. The demo- cratic party has made one voyage of that kind. and has no stomach for another. If the country prefers re- publican policies, the reins of power should be entrusted to republican hands; if democratic remedies are de- sired, a truly democratic doctor should be called in. Let us have no more of the quacks who give bread pills and poison by turns, without thought of the patient’s disease.

The following named are the most prominent and influential Demoerat- ie newspapers in Missouri that have expressed themselves in the highest complimentary terms of Sam B, Cook for Governor in 1904: The Paris Mercury in Monroe county, the Columbia Herald in Boone coun- ty, the Nevada Mail in Vernon coun- ty, the Jefferson City State Tribune in Cole county, the Glasgow Missou- rian in Howard county, the Platte- burg Leader in Clinton county, the Kirksville Democrat in Adaircounty, the Moberly Democrat and the Huntsville Herald in Randolph coun- ty, the Mexico Intelligencer in Aud- rian county, the Rich Hill Mining Re- view in Bates county, the Lamar Leader in Barton county, the Cen- tralia Courier in Boone county, the Hamilton Advocate in Caldwell county, the Gallatin Democrat in Daviess county, the Warrensburg Starin Johnson county, theSt. Char- les Banner-News, the Camden County Rustic, Charleston Courier in Missis- sippi county, the Louisiana Times in Pike county and a score of other pa- persin various parts of the state. Besides there are as many more lead- ing journals that favor thecandidacy of Mr. Cook but who have refrained from mentioning any preference so far. In fact there is not a Democrat- ic paper of any standing in theentiie length and breadth of the state that does not look with favor on the Secretary of State as the logical choice of the State Democracy.— Chillicothe Constitution. To the above list: the Constitution could have added such eplendid in- fluential Democratic papers as the Joplin Globe and Webb City Regis- ter in Jasper; the Lamar Democrat in Barton; Fulton Suu in Callaway; Holden Enterprise in Johnson; Mary< ville Democrat in Nodaway; Clinton Democrat in Henry; Marsball Index in Saline; Washington Observer in Franklin; Troy Free Press in Lin- colu; Schell City News in Vernon; Versai'les Leader in Morgan; Bowling Green Times in Pike; Stockton Jour- val and Eldorado Springs Sun in Cedar; Excelsior Springs Standard and Smithville Herald in Clay; Van- dalia Leader and Forber Forum in Audrain; Harrisonville Democrat in Cass: Montgomery City Standard, Jonesburg Journal and Wellsville Record in Montgomery; Boonville Democrat and Pilot Grove Enter- prise in Cooper; Farmington Prog- ress in-St. Francois and others we cannot at this time call to mind.— Nevada Mail. Public sentiment enforces laws, The public roads in counties are as good as public sentiment demands. Men may howl and curse all they please about bad roads, but the proof of the pudding is “Chawing the rag.” The county does not have good roads because the people who make so much noiseabout bad roads are not really in earnest about the matter. Too many men want good roads who do not want to spend either cash or sweat in making them.

Suit Against the Governor, Frankfort, Ky., June 15.—The Louisville Herald and George Riley, its correspondent, to day filed suit for a mandamus in the Franklin Cir- cuit Court against Governor Beck- ham and Secretary of State C. B. Hill to compel them to permit the plain- tiffs to inspect the records of the Governor's office, including the par- dons. Governor Beckham recently ejected Riley from the executive office and retused to permit him to see the rec- ords, telling him, ‘When your paper sends a man to this office who will not lie and steal, he may see the rec ords.”” The following day Riley applied to the Secretary of State and was told that the Governor had no confidence iu him and he could not trust him with the records. Riley’s offense consisted in printing the names of twenty odd alleged pardons granted by the Governor of Breathitt county criminals, when, in fact, there were only seven pardons granted. The case will be transferred to Georgetown for immediate hearing. Former Judges of the Court of Ap- peals before James D. White and George Du Relle are Riley’s counsel.

Nashville, Ind., June 12.—A psy- chological wonder in the person of the Rev. John Cauffman has appear- ed in Hamblen township, this coun ty. Mr. Cauffman is an Amish preacher and hails from Elkhart county. Theremarkable thing about him is that he cannot preach unless he is sound asleep, and this singular fact has attracted the attention of the people for miles around. Mr. Cauffman will go to the church at 4 o’clock in the afternoon and there, upon a cot which he has in the church, he will lie in a sound slumber until 7 o’clock, when he arises and enters the pulpit, still asleep, thecon gregation, meanwhile, having filled the church. Then he delivers a ser- mon, expounding the Scripture in well chosen words, and to theedifica- tion and wonder of his hearers, often continuing his discourse for two and ahalf and even three hours. Heuses both English and German in his preaching. Hanged Himself As He Said. Guthrie, Ok., June 12.—J. G. Ralls, of Atoka, in his address on the his- tory of Choctaw courts, delivered be- fore the Indian Territory Bar asso. ciation recently, told of the noted suit of John M. Hodges against C.

The case went to | the Choctaw supreme court, and Pate was so sure of success that he openly bragged that he would get a rope and hang himeelf if be did not win the suit. The court decided tor the plaintiff, and Pate kept his word. J. A. Hale, of South McAlester, cut the rope and saved Pate’s life. A Missouri Politician Dead. Greenfield, Mo., June 13—J.
