Ex-Governor Dockery thinks: “Tt ia a source of great comfort to the Demoerats to see the “mysterious stranger” get into trouble himeeli. For eighteen months our party has been doing all the fool things and keeping iteelf in trouble. You cai hardly realize how pleasant { is to see the other party making a fool of itself now.” The victorous Japanese army made its formal entry into Port Arthur January 13. Gen. Nogi in ad- remain that the brewers were very hostile to the beer license law enact- ed by the last Democratic legislature and from which a big revenue was collected for the state. The law pro- vides that a corporation donating | to any political party shall forfeit its charter to the state and be subject to prosecution in the courts, Thisis certainly an unsavory mess the Re- publicans are stewing up at the very beginning. It it rows in magnitude as it advances, the Lord only knows where it will end, possibly somewhere near the big stone structure at the state capitol over which Matt Hall will preside for the next four years. es PRACTICAL IDEAS ON ROAD BUILDING. At good roads convention, held at Columbia last week, which was largely attended by representative citizens of the state interested in good roads building, George B. Ellis, secretary of the State Board of Agri- culture, advanced the following plan of taxation: ‘We have thousands of miles of well graded roads, but they will not answer for heavy traffic. Of the 135,000) of miles of roads in Missouri, only 1 per cent is permanently employed. Nine- ty per cent of the tratfie of the state is carried on over 10 per cent of these roads. The problem that confronts us fs to improve permanently this 10 per cent. To accomplish this two factors are essential—expert technical knowledge ofroad building and ample means to bring it into action. The state should have a highway superinten- dent to have supervision over the appointment and appropriation of funds. Each county should have a road supervisor, skilled in road making, under the direction of the county Warrensburg, Jan, 17—A report given out at Jefferson City to the effect that Thomas K. Niedringhaus had held aconversation with Senator Cockrell over the long distance phone, in which the latter had stated that he would not accept the election to the United States Senate from a Republican Legislature, is denied by Senator Cockrell in a telegram to Representative Wallace Crossely of Jobnson county, The message reads: “Washington, January 17—No truth whatever {n reports.
