A mass of material isarranged for popular understanding showing the injurious effecta of alcohol. It was given out inadispatch from St. Joseph last week that anti-Folk leaders had declared. their intention of defeating Congressman Cochran for renomination because of his polit- ical declarations favoring Folk. Rep- resentative A. B. Duncan was decided upon to run against Mr. Cochran, but Mr. Duncan declared later that he had no intention of running. It looks like an effort to coerce the con- gressman Such tactics can hardly be approved of as good politics within the party. ——_—__—_—_——_—— Ata meeting of the inspectors for the Missouri pentientiary held a few days, the contract for erecting the building for the binder twine factory to be operated in the penitentiary was let to Dan A. Lapp, of Jefferson City, for $8,475, The building is to be completed by February 1st, 1904, and it is hoped to have the factory in operation in time to furnish twine to the farmers of Missouri for their 1904 harvest at greatly reduced prices, The capacity of the plant will be 10,000 pounds daily. —______—— Col. Chas. H. Morgan, of Lamar, announces his intention of running for Congress in the fifteenth district on the Republican ticket, This is the same Charley Morgan the Demo- crats of the old twelfth repeatedly honored, because he was a “good fel low,” and knew the boys by their first names. His most ardent sup- porter never claimed for him any distinct ability for the place, but we all liked Charley, and then he prided himself on his Democracy, of the “pock-ribbed” brand. It was hardly to be expected that his qualifications would keep him in Congress, and when he was displaced he kinder felt sore, and after repeated defeats went over to the enemy and is thus early demonstrating his reasons lor a change of heart. Charley Morgan is a good fellow, we always liked him, and we are mighty sorry to see him in his present role, EEE That was a good speech Hon. Jas. A, Reed made in opening his cam paignfor governor at Sedalia, It was replete with rhetoric, logic and good common sense. Hecondemnea boodling in all its forms and pointed out that a few unfaithful officials who used the power of office to which they were elected to corruptly profit there- by, were being prosecuted by demo- cratic officials, The party instead of being condemned is deserving of commendation. Mr. Reed declared that he was a Democrat on no one issue, but intends to stand upon the ——Tamocratic platform and advocate itsevery plank. We presented his speech in full last week. Mr. Reed is a full fledged candidate for governor and is deserving of respectful consid- eration of the party in the state. Lt fs announced that Hon. Joseph W. Folk will formally announce his can- didacy in a speech at St. Joseph on October 24th. It is pretty generally conceded tbat this will end the en- tries and that the race will be hotly contested between the friends of Mayor Reed and Mr. Folk. It is freely predicted that Judge Gantt will withdraw from the race before the first of the year. [ee Despite the efforta of Republican politicians, the question of boodling will not be an issue in the next cam paign. Any question or measure, in order to become an issue, must have two sides. There is only one side to the boodling question. All honest citizene, democrats and republicans alikearé opposed to boodling; allare in favor of a rigid enforcement of the law against that despicable species ofcrime.

The ElDorado Sun says: “To those who desire a triumph of party principles and a perpetuation of democratic supremacy in the state, | by this n tious candidates, for the great office of the chief magistrate of the state, isa matter of secondary importance. What the rank and file of the party desire is the nomination of a candi- date for this honor who will themost effectually unify the party organiza- tion throughout the entire state; and as we have before stated, we believe that the exigencies of the situation, as it now exists, would be admirably met by the nomination of David A. DeArmond for governor. “He is in the prime of life, and the splendid record of his public services, which is without blot or blemish, and which ls marked throughout by a high order of ability and state- craft, and by an unselfish and faith tal performance of every official duty, has placed him in the front rank of the leading statesmen of the day. This being true, his nomination for governor would be eminently satis- factory to the democrats in every section.” Tue Timescan heartily endorse the above estimate of our able and pop- ular congressman. Good Roads. Cass Co. Democrat, The special premium offered by the Bank of Harrisonville, for the most improvement made on any one con- tinuous mile of public road within four miles of the city of Harrison- ville, probably attracted more at- tention, and brought out more in point of education than any of the premiums offered at the big fair, It was not the bringing about such an interest among the people, that, by donation work, and otherwise, they built more than twenty-five miles of good roads leading to Harrisonville, but was, also, a valuable object les- son in the way of getting at the real eost of putting a milo of public road in proper shape. 1t was incentive to the respective road overseers contest- ing for the premium. It showed what they were able to do with com- paratively little money. One look- ing over the roads before the work was done would scarcely know them after they had been finished. By proper management on the part of the people of Cass county, something over $50,000.00 per year can be spent on the public roads of thecoun- ty. One mile of the premium road cost 52.00 the other 51.61, accord- ing to these figures the county could have the money to build something like one thousand miles of road as good as these premium roads every year. Can we not get enough inter- est and enterprise among the people of this county to have such roads? Was Claim No. 1 Unlucky? Lawton, Ok., Sept. 28.—Mrs. Alta M.
