A. Morrow. Morrow was the victim ofa plot to convict him for purely political pur- poses was well understood by his close friends from the day Assistant District Attorney Norton! secured his indictment. Judge Adams did not propose to permit his court to be turned into a political machine, and he ordered Mr. Morrow discharged as soon as the government had con- cluded its testimony. Iu his opinion dismissing the case, Judge Adams “Had the case of Morrow gone to the jury and a verdict other than not guilty been returned, I should have been compelled to set it aside, different verdict upon the evidence adduced would be a discredit to any ourt of justice. Courts are a shield to the innocent as they are a aword to the guilty.” The St. Louis Republic states the case clearly and truthfully in the fol- lowing timely and vigorous editorial: “Fair play, in its most elementary sense, should impel the Republican newspapers to frankly acknowledge the injustice done to Mr. Morrow in the prosecution which came to a quick conclusion yesterday in the Caited States court. With such evidence, and with no more evidence, the assistant district attorney, Mr. Nortont, has convicted ~—himselt-of excessive zeat,—if not-of willingness to stretch his duty for purely political purposes. words, if Mr. Morrow had not been Official stenographer for the governor itie not too much to assume that the indictment would never have been pressed to trial by the assistant district attorney. There was no evidence to show that Mr. \:orrow, @ young man of unblem- ished character, had even knowledge of naturalization Adams, than whom no judge is more severe toward wrongdvers, ruled the case out of court onthe prosecution's His decision was practi cally a complete exoneration of Mr. The defendant, thus honorably ac- quitted, has been forced to endure suspicion and opprobriam; has been put to great expense and trouble. All, it would seem, because through a democratic administration could be put under fire. The acquit tal is a triumph, both for him and for Governor Dockery. None the less he has been {ris too much to expect that parti- san organs will tender apologies to Governor Dockery for the use made of this case in the effort to put the state administration under a cloud of some kind.

Bones Should Be Burned. Topeka, Kan., Nov, 30.—The Rev. J. A. McFarland, pastor of the Meth- odist church, preached a sensational sermon last night against the display of Quantrell’s bones by the Kansas Historical society. Mr. McFarland believes that it is an insult to fluunt the Quantrell af- fair in the faces of Kansans, who haven’tforgotten the Lawrence raid. “The bones should be burned,” said Mr. McFarland, “and with their ashes should pass away any form of hero worship or striving to make live in memory the terrible scenes of the border raids during the civil war.” Killed by Trap Set for Thieves.

HARMONIOUS ACTION. Tue Trwes cares more for the suc- cess of the Democratic party than it does for any individual's preferment. The principles of that patry are based upon human liberty and will live for- ever, individuals are mere atoms, of fleeting existence. A spirited con- test within the party for its favors, conducted decently and in order, is not objectionable and stimulates party pride in the final contest, bat bitter fights within the party should be discouraged. Any good Demo- erat, with a clean record has a per- fect right to aspire to the guberna- torial nomination, and a campaign of vituperation and abuse of any one candidate is to be deplored and con- demned. Every candidate should conduct a dignified campaign, in keeping with the high office he seeks, should treat his opponents fairly and courteously, so that if nominated he can command the full party support and if defeated has the satisfaction of knowing that he has acquitted himself with honor and credit, A man worthy of that high honor will depend upon his own strength and not upon a fight being made upon his opponent. It is well for demo- crate to remember that the success of the party is not dependent upon any faction or clique, but upon all democrats harmoniously united. Let us look for good qualities and pick the best man to lead us in the next campaign. | KILLED COUSIN TO CELEARATE BIRTHDAY. | Put 8-Year-Old Relative Out of Misery. Columbia, Mo , Nov 28.—"He was 8 years old and hac been alive long enough, so I just thought I would put him out of his misery, Besides that, it was my birthday.” This was the reason “Bud” Cole- man gave when asked to-day why he killed Felix Hall, his cousin, a ehid of 8 ‘The youthful slayer was just 11 years old last Saturday, when he shot his cousin, “Bud” and his victim were playing together with other children in acot- tage near Brook Bridge, five miles south of here. A shotgun, charged with bird shot, had been carelesaly eft withia reach of the childrea, According to what could begather- vd from the witnesses, there had been ao quarrel between Coleman and his victim, The other children testifi»d that, without warning, Coleman took down the shotgun from a shelf and, poiuting it at his cousin, said: “You are 8 years old and I guess you have been alive long enough ” Little Felix put up bis hands and begged for life. Cohman laughed and shot him. Coleman, when arrested the next day, acted as if he had done thechild a favor by killing him. He declared repeatedly that, as his cousia was 8 years old, he had lived long evough The boy is unusually intelligent. Last week he fired a shotgun at a party of children playin neur his home, but no one was hurt, The feeling in the neighborhood over the tragedy was 80 intense that the child was in danger of lynching “Bud” will be sent to the refurm school TO AVENGE HIS DAUGHTER’S DEATH Frank C. Dunton Shot and Killed Emile Meyer in Sedalia. Sedalia, Mo., Nov. 29.—Emile Meyer, @ motorman on the Sedalia Eleetric railroad, was shot and killed in his home at 2 o’clock this after- noon by Frank C, Dunton, an ex- convict. Dunton was arrested soon afterward by Otficer Robertson and Officer Cue. Dunton returned last night from Vinita, I. T., where he has been employed in a mill for three months, and learned for the first time of the suicide of his 19-year-old daughter, Daisy, who is said to have been betrayed by Meyer. The girl went to the saloon where Meyer at that time was employed as barkeep- er and took carbolic acid in his pres- ence, dying a few minutes later in the street. This afternoon Dunton called at the home of Meyer for a talk with him regarding his treatment of the girl, Dunton says Meyer started to reach for his pocket, and fearing for his life, he shot him three times. Dun- ton attended the East Sedalia Sun- day school and church with his wife this forenoon. He served two yeare lin the penitentiary for shooting a man in Morgan county eight years ago. THOSE POSTAL SCANDALS. The report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow in the postottice scandal in Washington, in spite of the fact that it had been somewhat foreshadowed by newspa- per interviews, was so stupendous in disclosing orgauiszed boodling and frauds in that department of the government that it wassimply stupe- tying to the public. The people are somewhat familiar with figures in the hundreds and thousands in boodle cases, but ia thie one depart- ment alone in the great number of departments into which the govern- ment’s business is divided, frauds causing loss to the government and people of many millions of dollars has been discovered. This has been going on for a long time and the heads of the department were impli cated. Former First Ags’t. Post master General, and confidential secretary of the Republican National Campaign Committee, Perry Heath, is mentioned in the report as one of the grafters, and many bonds of companies working their graft on the government, were traced close to his door. So systematic have they worked and so cunningly hid their pillerings, that it took forty expert inspectors six months to unearth all the plotters. It is estimated that the bribes distributed exceeded three hundred thousand dollars, while the loss to the department. will run into the millions. Thirty-one persons have been indicted and will be tried inthe federal courts. It isnoticeable that the big fish have escaped, as is usual in such cases. Perry Heath, while directly connected with the fraud and proof produced that he had some of the swag in his posses- sion, escaped indictment. It is said that President Roosevelt isemphatic in his declaration that Heath should Powder Explodes; Kills Two Carthage, Mo., November 80 —An Eleven-Year-Old Slayer Just Wanted to explosion at the Independent pow-} der company’s works, southwest of this city, at 3:30 u’clock this afternoon, killed two men and injured four others. Leslie Ridge and Bert Cobb were blown to atoms, A bole in the ground is all that was left to mark the disaster. accuuntable mistake or blow in the wixture is the only way to account for the explosion. An attempt to gather the remains of Ridge and Cobb failed. No piece larger than one’s two hands e ould be found. Every building in Carthage was shaken, as well as buildings t veuty miles away in every direction Tais is the third explosion at the In- dependent company’s works within tour months, the others being in July and August.

Folk for governor. Congressman Vandiver was chosen as chairman, empowered to appoint committees in each congressional district and thoroughly organize the state. It ie proposed to make a hard and eys- tematic fight from now until conven- tion. It was the sense of the meeting that county primaries be held to select delegates to the state conven- tion, in the belief that that method offered a better opportunity for the people, outside the professional poli- ticians to secure their choice.
