President Lewis Moore sends us a certificate of membership in the “Hume Telephone Don't Worry Club” for 1905.

Only a few years ago nobody, ex- cept Democrats, cared to oppose and fight what is known as the Trusts. Some prominent Republicans went so far as to say, “There are good and bad Trusts.” Now every Re- publican in the country seems so be in earnest in opposing the Truste, and it looks like they were trying to steal the thunder of the Democrats, after so fong a time. —Clinton Demo- crat.

A resolution has been introduced in the senate providing for an investigation of the following alleged combines: Beef, action. The Standard Oil company will be closely watched in the mean- time. arations are being made to have the ceremonies the most elaborate ever witnessed on a similar occasion in this country. The pageantry of medirval kings will be put in the shade, and the world is to be aston- ished by the magnificence of the wealth and grandeur displayed. {se for the purpose of tickling the vanity of Mr. Roosevelt, or for the purpose of over awing his subjects, as they do in India, or an object lesson to the nations of the world of our greatness, is not plain.

He shall visit each school as often as practicable —School Laws of Mis souri In Bates county there are 138 school districts. Butler and Ric Hill each having more than 1000 echool enumeratior, are not unde county supervision. ‘This leaves 136 schools with 151 teachere under th supervisiun of the county superinten dent. The distance between echool~ will range from three to five miles; so that the county superintendent must travel something like 500 or 600 miles in visiting the echools of the county. A good part of this visiting must be done in the winter and early spring when the weather is bad and the roads muddy. — Thess -| conditions make it necessary for the Superintendent to be a man, strong physically as well as mentally Then he will find it necessary to visit some schools more than once His first visit will disclose some defects in the school work that will call for suggestions and recommendations. Asecond visit should be made in order to see that these recommenda tions are carried into effect. Repub‘icans in the legislature are making strenuous, but apparently futile efforts to get together on a candidate for United States senator. The Niedringhaus men held several caucuses lately and at one Monday night, Mr. Niedringhaus said that he would not longer stand in the way if they could agree on a man, but said it must not be Kerens, Another caucus Tuesday was fruitless of re- sults, Every prominent Republican in the state “has his lightning rod run up, but Mr. Kerens and his friends hold the key to the situation.
