Why not the state legislature make @ suitable ap- propriation for a monument for this distinguished Missourian, ——_—_—_——_ Renator Clay Heather was defeat- fo. on in the 13th dfa- triot by Fre McAllister, a talented young Is» ver of Paris, The contest w ws cecided by a primary and Me Aliister's majority was 1,000, The Democratic state executive committee met in St. Louls Saturday and elected Congressman W. D Van- diver chairman, and he will be in active charge of the campaign. In making arrangements for the open- ing of the campaignin Springfield on September let it was decided that Mr. Folk and the other state candi- dates speak at the Metropolitan opera houae in the afternoon and Willian J. Bryan to speak at night. Tt was decided that no corporation will be asked to contribute to the campaign. Now that S-nator George G. Vest lias passed from this world’sstage o actioa, it is well to know the view held by this eminent statesman in regard to desth. Here it is, as expressed by Scuator Vest in speaking if the halls ot the senate of the passing away of a friend and colleague: “When the youn, vigorous, ambitious and hope fu! are stricken down we are shocked, agit before some unfinished statue or painting where the chisel or penell has fallen from the nerveless hand of & great artist; but when life's work is done, when the task is finished, we simply await the inevitable end. Death is o!tentines a friend.” Julve Parker, Democratic nominee for P--sitent, iu his acceptance of the high nuuor accorded iim by his party, says the trusts can be erushed by the enforcement of the laws now on the statue books. Therearefew men more competent than Judge Parker to know the truth of this seuloueat In omment the Sedalla Democrateays: “The criminal clause of the Sherman THE SAME OLDGAME. . Both the Republican Press and the Record published twocolumn pictures of Clyde Spencer, the Republican nom | inee for Sheriff and devoted consider- | abl e space tohis pedigree. We think this commendable enterprise, from @ view, but wonder thatthe The Kansas City Times, referring to the “fine spirit” shown by the peo-| ple of Warrensburg, Mo., says: “There have been many evidences of a fine communal spirit in the towy of War-| rensburg. The latest instance wos that of the interest shown in the can- vas and nomination of Mr. ‘Rube’} Beoe thought sheild etrike botu these editors at the same time and that both should act upon it, al- though it fs along lines that neither have heretofore made features in their papers. We wonder, farther, that they should both happen to pick on the nominee for sheriff to:publish his pic- ture, when there we:eninecandidates to choose from, and the sheriff is neither the head nor the tail of the ticket. It looks lke a prearranged scheme of the leaders to sacrifice all the other candidates on their ticket for Spencer this time, like they did for Clark Wix two years ago. Is it any wonder that auch menasCharly Lane, Dr, Lyle, Phin Holcomb and George Templeton refuse to accept a nomtn- ation when they know that they would not receive even the strength of their party, butall be traded off and sacrificed in the interest of one man, thus showing themselves very weak in order to make the one man very strong. They concentrated their guns on Joe Smithfour years ago, on T. K. Lisle two years ago and now they will try the same game on Mose Morris, and we may add truth- fully, if parenthetically, with thesame result, From a party standpoint we con- tend that each nominee on the ticket is entitled to the full party support and that it is treasonable to the party and an {Injustice to the other nominees to trade them off in order to run one candidate ahead, This is applicable to all parties, and in our judgement a regular nominee of a party exhibits but little spirit if he fails to resent such an effort to thus make him appear small in the eyes of his neighbors. —— WHOLLY INEXCUSABLE, Democrats throughout the state are not interested in personal differ- ences between Senator Stone and Mr. Folk At an opportune time they have no serious objections to those distinguished statesmen flying at each others throats. But Democrats are all vitally interested in Demo eratie enecess and are consequently unalterably opposed to vitriolic dis- cussions among the leaders on the eve of s eampaign, that can have but one possible effect, that of fo- meuting discord and str.fe within the party. No matter if every aesertion contained in Sénator Stone’s letter were true, which Mr. Folk denies, the letter was, in our .judgment, {ll-ad- vised, ill-timed and coming from the source it did, wholly inexcusable and calculated to do irreparable Injury to the Democratic cause in the state. To fact we are at aloss to understand the motives that could have prompt- ed the senator's actions, believe lt was aserions mistakefrom a party stand- point and expect to see his splendid abilities arrayed against Republican nowinees from now until after ssats election. Bryan will speak at the opening of the Democratic state campaign at Springfield on September let. Pre- vious to that date Mr. Bryan will spend four days in Missouri, and will leave the lovation of the points where he is to speak to Chairman Vandiver. Mr. Bryan can do the party more good in Miseourl than any other man in the United States. “Asa Missouri Republican I take pleasure’ in openly announcing my intention of voting for Joseph.

C. against counterleiters would soon | star, break up sll the trasts. Itisup to Folk as the fearless standard bearer Does any one doubt that thie declar- ation from Henry D. Aehly, the presi- dent of the Kansas City Bar associa- tion, more truly represents the senti- ccotned 8 to make Mr. his own. It was a fine tribute to the Ugiesby's cause | : candidate that sixteen young women of the best families in the town should have attended the convention to plead with the delegates for him, but it was as great a. compliment to the town itself. When the nomination was declared there was a municipal demonstration in which Republicans and Democrats, men and women par- ticipated. But the same epirit has been manifested by Warrensburg on other occasions. A year ago a pop- ular subscription in the town patd the fine assessed on E.litor Shepherd by the Supreme court in the famous contempt proceedings, and when the editor returned from Jefferson City there was the same sort of civic dem- onstration as that which celebrated Mr. Oxlesby’s nomination. When Senator Cockrell’s eldest daughter was married the people of the Mis- sourl city sent for a handsome wed- ding gift. Mr. Cockrell has on many oceasions received public acknowl edgment of the regard in which he is held by his fellow townsmen of War- rensburg. The spirit manifested Is a tine one, Itis a stimulus to good citizenship. It is pretty certain that where it éxists the standard of clvic obligations 1s high,” Colonel William J. Bryan, when asked if he had read Judge Parker's speech of acceptance, said: “I have just read the speech as published in the evening papers. It is admirable on the questions discussed. I pre- sume his letter of acceptance will go more into detail in regard to various planks of the platform, but I am satiefied that the speech will make a very favorable impression upon the country. The promise not to be a candidate ought to strengthen pub- lic faith in his determination to dis- charge the duties of the office, with aneye single to the public welfare, according to his best jndgment. The example of Mr. Roosevelt working fora second term will give impor- tance to Mr. Purker’s declaration not to be a cundidute for a second term.” As president of the city council of St Louis, Walbridge voted for fran- chise bills on which $400,000 was expended in bribes, eays the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. This is the man who is running agaiust Jos. W. Folk for Governor. Extravagance and Deficit. The stand pat Republicans don’t know whether to be sorry or glad over the heavy deficit that marks the opening weeks of the current fiscal year. They realize that a de- ficit is not pleasant in-an election year; it savors too strongly ofheavy expeuditures.—Boston Herald. It not only savors of heavy ex- penditures but it provesit absolutely and beyond any kind of reasonable doubt in this instance, The extrava- gance of the Roosevelt administra- tion has been reckless. The people do not seem to have been considered in the least. Not only was an im- mease sum appropriated for the navy—ove hundred millions—but in depart ments the government's affairs have been so conducted as to result in more than a billion dollars tn- creased in expenditures over the last Cleveland administration. Roose- velt was not satiefied with the White House and spent more than a half million dollars on Jt. He» has used a government vessel as a f.mily yacht and a large sum was spent in fur- ishing and maintaining it. Enor- mous sums were spent in refurnish- fog the White House afier it had been “improved.” No wonder there has been a deficit which amounted to Sentinel. & claration of the party politicians | Narrow Escape of Missouri Family. verre the, Nevada, Mo., Aug. 15.—G.

Abandon Mine at Rich Hill. Mine No. 15 at Rich Hill, was abandoned Monday. Of this mine the Review says: “Up until a few years ago No, 15 was the largest and best equipped coal mine in the state of Missouri. From 350 to 400 men were employed in this mine, at that time, and this wonderful coal producer was largely responsible for bringing Bates county to the front and making it in 1891 the banner coal county in the state. 726,283 tons were mined in Bates county that year. Mine 15 has been work- ing but 35 men for the past few months, and these have been mostly engaged in pulling stumps and pil- lars. The big engine and other ma- chinery used in No. 15 will beshipped to Yale Kans., where it will be used in No, 13 mine.” A Mob Burns Two Negroes Statesboro, Ga., Ang. 16.—Paul Reed and William Cato, n groee, two of the principals in the murder and burning of Henry Hodges and wife and three of their children six miles from here three weeks ago, were burned at the stake to-day. This afternoon at 1:21 o’clock a mob charged the court house, over- powered the military guard, secured Cato and Reed, who had been found guilty after a legal trial and een- tenced to be hanged, took them two miles from town and burned them alive. The climax came quickly and unexpectedly. The forenoon had been passed qui- etly, the trial of Paul Reed, the ring- leader, being concluded and a verdict | = of guilty rendered. Both he and Cato, found guilty the day before, were se utenced te hang September 5. Republican Judical Ticket.

Lamar, Mo., Aug. 14 —Goeorge Hess a well known farmer, living a mile weat of Irvin, in Barton county, and Mrs. Hess were shot by an unidenti- fied man as they lay in bed about 1:30 o’clock this morning. Hess’s condition {s critical Much mystery surrounds the affair. Robbery ap- parently was not the motive of the visitor, as $40 on the dresser in the bedroom .\was untouched and no property in the house was disturbed. The intruder entered the house at the kitchen door where he stopped and lighted a lamp. Mrs. Hess heard the man but thought he was her son and called to him. The man did not answer but proceeded to the bed chamber. Mr. Hess had started to arise when the visitor fired five shots at the couple, one bullet striking Hess on the leg and one striking his wifs in the same place. Hess ran cut of the house and across tbe road into a cornfield. As he wae climbing a feuce the man shot him agsinion the back. Ruuning a few feet further Hess fell exhausated. The man then fired five more shots, but Hesse, who struggled with him jfor the pistol, threw the weapon to jone sige and none ‘of these shots j took effect. Mrs, Hess ran to the home of @ neighbur about a belt mile distant followed by her son, George, 18 years old. Hess is about 55 years old. One ullet, which entered his back, lodged io the left lung.
