Not one of the gentlemen aspirants for this honor but would make a stronge andidate and betriumphant- lyelectad by the usval majority.

We believe that General Crow will listen to the advise of his friends and become a candidate for governor. If he does, we believe he will be nominated and make Missouri a governor in whom every citizen of this stateean take just pride. Crow’s candidacy would be a happy solution of the problem. as W1SE AND JUST. The Missouri Press Association, at its meeting in St. Louis last week, by a vote of more than two to one, de- feated the partisan effort to humili- ateR. B. Speed by expelling him from that association. It will be remem- bered that Dick Speed permitted him- self to be sandbagged by a fellow by name of Lyons, who was a etate senator, Lyons th eatened that un- less Speed paid the combine of sena- tors which he represented $800. they would pass a bill reducing his emolu ments as Coal Oil Inspectur of St. Louis, something lise ten or fifteen thousand dollars, Speed never cor- rupted Lyons, he refused to learn who the others were, he simply per- mitted himeelf to be robbed as the easiest, and, as he saw then, theonly way out of it. He made a mistakein violating a law, but he did not be- come a criminal. We have known Dick Speed for more than twenty years intimately and know that he isan honest man and uprightcitizen. He would not for his life attempt to corrupt an honest legislator, nor re- ceive a dollar that did not rightfully belong to him. It is human to err, but an error of judgment does not make a criminal, and the “holier- than thou” fellows who attempted to parade their own righteousness, should read the story of the pharisee and publican. The action of the Press Association was wise and just. Lightaiog Kitlea 33 Animals in Ne- braska. 22.—During the storm which prevailed in this lo- killed by aire Democracy, are going todo.

Rich Hil Review, There isa decided uncertainity as vet, in the opinion of the Review, as to the Domoeratic gubernatorial nomination, and no man can tell un tiltheconvention has made its choice vho the nominee will be. No man on earth was ever so | ure that he es- eaped criticis:: , nor so good that he was entirely free from fault. All the present asp.rants have been critivis Allhave their strong points and no doubt their weak spots as well. Harry B, Hawes is very strong where best known, which is a splendid sign. Jos, W. Folk has acquired great popularity in many sections of the State, Jas A Reed is perhaps the greatest orator ia the buneh and has a large following unconfined to any particular section. Jas. B. Gantt is personally beloved by all who know him and his reputation for integrity and ability is more than Scate wide Judge Crow and perhaps a dark horse wre yet to be considered, and the convention is sometime off. No man can tell, therefore, what the uni veraal sentiment of the State Demoe racy will be until the preliminary skirmishesin the nominating conven tion are over.

Senator Burton, of Kansas, Con- nected With Get-Rich- Quick Scheme. United States Senator Joseph Ralph Burton, of Kansas, was Sat: urday indicted by the Federal Grand Jury on a charge that he received $2,500 from the Rialto Grain and Securities Company of St. Louis tor services rendered at Washington in an attempt to prevent the Post-Ot- fice Department from issuing a fraud order against that concern. It Senator Burton is convicted of this offense, it means an imprison- ment of not more than two years, and a fine of not more than $10,000. Conviction would also render him in- eapable of holding any oftice under the United States Government, Senator Burton is now at Wash- ington, where Congress 1s in seasion. He cannot be arrested while theSen- ate is in session, according to the law. The return of an indictment on such a serious charge against Sena tor Burton came very unexpectedly. The Federal Grand Jury had been in session but four days, and it wasnot thouht they made investigation of other than minor cases. al. The appropriation sets at rest a ‘ fight of 100 years, indulged at one time by Henry Clay, to remove the Capitol. The Senat> passed the Whitt bill, ereatingcounty of Beckham in honor of Governor Beckham, and composed of parts of Carter, Lewis and Elliott. The county comprises over 100 square miles of the richest parts of the Eastern Kentucky coal fields. Olive Hi!l is county seat. Our esteamed contemporary, the Republican-Press is right for once, and we always cheerfully accord ered) it when it is dus. Tae Times will shout for the Democratic nominee, no matter which of the distinguished gentleman now aspiring to the gubernatorial nomination may win. That paper is now supporting Folk. Will it support him if he is nominat- ed? Ah, there’s the rub. Like every other Republican paper and politi cian in the state, now meddling in Democratic affairs, it will support the Republican nominee, no matter who the Democrats nominate.

It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with especially prepared for delicate stomachs, Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be- cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants.
