Jan. 2—The lab- or unions involved since last July in a strike againet a 124 per cent re- duction in wages in the cotton mille, by a vote of approximately two to one today approved a continuance of the contest. Judge James M. Johnson, of St Joseph, who defeated Judge Tim- monds,of Lamar, forthe Kansas City Court of Appeals took the oath of office Friday. Judge Johnson is the tiret Republican ever elected to the Kansas City appellate bench, and never held office before. ad Only two or three years ago Neid- ringhouse was tucned out of the Republican Central Committee of Ss. Louis because of a deal he made with che Butlers. Last sumovr he made mother deal with the Butlers, which 40 please { the Republicans that they are now trying to elect him United States Senator.—Clinton Democrat. \ithough nearly 50 per cent of the people of the United States are en- waged in agricultural pursuits, the wovernment allowed the agricultural department last year but six million dollars. Our frontiers are no longer in danger from Indians, there is nothing that threatens civil strife, andthe world {ts fast settling on arbitration, still the administration ia the same year spent two hundred millions on implements of war and in maintaining the war and navy departments. Is this an example of wise Republican legislation. Judge John F. Philips of the United States district court was 70 years of age Saturday. He was born December 31, 1834. Under the law Judge Philips can now retire frou she bench on full pay. There are several candidates for the posi- sion, busas yet Judge Philips has siot signitied his intention of resign- ing and has intimated that the candidates contesting for his old shoes will be safe in preparing to “putin another corn crop in the spring,” indicating he will look after the federal court himeelf. With J. M. Culver, it might have teen preferable to have resigned as 6 seember of the Board of Trustees of the Missouri State Fruit Experiment station at Mountain (irove, Mo, to being kicked out by the income- fag administration. In a statement just made public, Culver says that he does not care to hold an official position under the incoming admin- istration. Mr. Culver opposed Mr. Folk {n the primaries and refused to vote for him in the general election, after he had been fairly nominated “Democratic State convention. aud Governor Dockery made a mistake when he appointed you to that position. . The St. Louts Republic is printing some very interesting articles about ‘the use of cash in the Senatorial cam. paign. Great rolle of money offered to legislators, newspaper men and congressmen for their influence is seemingly a common occurrence.

Honorable George Church, repre- sentative of Bates County in the Miseouri General As+mbiy. was in St. Louw last week for the purpore of visiting the S-patoria! candidates and learning of their que!ifi: ations, at least that ia what te sxtd in bis published interview in the Glube Dem- ocrat. “Lam not commit ed on the Sena torial question aut L do not expect to be uutil I have met all the candi- dates and learnet of the r qualtica tions. When I do deciue whch one shall get my vote I will have po hesitancy in ann -uncing it, but until I do I expect to look anout ! and learn sometoing that might be, of interest to me ia making up my mind,” Now, juet how he could decide on the respective qualifications of each of these gentlemen by a brief call, is|ticious persons and in the further- hard for the ordinary individual to) #n¢e of such conspiracy, 8. A. D. tell, but when a man ie elected to the| Puter did, March 9, 1902, pay to legielatore it naturally gives him a clearer insight into the qualifications @ man should have for the United States Senate. Our friend was just sizing them up, we ghing them io bis own half bushel, that was evidently all he meant by “karning of their qualifications”. Butfor fear he would not be thoroughly under stood he makes his meaning clearer by saying: “I expect to look about and learn someting that might be of INTEREST TO ME in making up my mind.” Now, as Hon. George's neighbor, we are satisfied that he dido’t mean that he was locking out for his own interest, that he had no reference to his financial interests, or anything of that kind, but he meant that if he kept hie eyes open he might be enlightened in the matter. Of course, he said “of interest to me,” but that was just aslip of the tongue. Our people will watch hia vote with great interest and bethoroughly en- lightened on the candidate who is qualified for United States Senator, President Roosevelt's vote in Mir souri was only about 7,300. reaver than the repnblican vote four years ago, (the increase being leas than the normal increase in the republican population, while the democratic vote was nearly 55,000 less than it was four years ago. The gain made by the populists and by the socialists did not equal the falling off of the de- mocratic vote. Macy democrats stay- ed at trome. They ought not to have done so, but they will be out two years from now and four years from now, and then the repyblicans will have to take a back seat again. In the meantime Governor Folk will be at Jefferson City to prevent the republicans from carrying off the state.—The Commonor.
