It would be Interesting, no doubt, to gives history of the farm from its beginning so the present time, but this would occupy too much space, Nor is {b necessary for the purpose of comparison to go back more than six years. The farm then compared with {ts present condition was a wilderness, Dilaptdated fences, no wates worthy the name, brush and all manner of trash from center to c{rcumference; buildings deterlorat. fug, ditches aud washouts swurting all over the place, crops falling for bhe want of simely and proper culti- vation: and roads and avenues in @ primitive state, All this !s changed. The farm ts protected at every point with good wire fence, good strong gates at conventent places, roads tn as tine condition as any in the coun- ty: ditches and washoute are filled up andthe farm made clean. To sbockmen the most interesting point would be the barns nd the stock.

E Lozier, state superintendents of dispensaries, {s en- forced, the purchase of intoxicants | will be restricted so that the yse for beverage purposes will ba cut to a minimum. The prohibition law pro. vides shasta person may buy-one- halt gallon of whisky, one gallon of wine and three gallons of beer ina day ona physician's prescription. This appeared as if it would be pos- sible fora man in extremely “poor health” to buy a supply of alcoholic beverages and have some left after he has recovered from his illness. Superintendent Lozier says, however, that theamount to be purchased must be designated inthe prescrip- tion by the physician and it ie im- probable that a reputable phyetclan would prescribe the maximum amount for any person, Ordinarily a half pint seems to be the amount that willhave she greatest cttictal sanction, The physician’s prescription how- ever, will not be accepted in every in- stance at {ts face value, Supertnten- dent Lozler said that until compelled to take an opposite view by the courts he would hold that dispensary agents should have discretionary power in the sale of intoxicants. If @ man who hasn’t a reputable char- acter or a map who ls known to be a drunkard should appear ata dis- pensary with a physician's prescrip- sion for whisky, the dispenser could refuse to fill tt. “I am determined,” sald Superin- tendent Lozler, “that the dispensary system shall not be made a farce. There are moral issues at stake that I shall protect to the limit of my ability. The dispensary will not be @ saloon, and it will be made as ditfi- cult as possible for a person to ob- tain {otoxlcants except for actual medicinal purposes,” The dispensers {in the different sowns will bo named probably abous May 1. Bids for supplying the state dispensary with whisky will be open- ed at Guthrie next Saturday. Wine and beer will not be purchased until 4 later time.

I desire a re-election to the Senate, because | am ambitious to serve the state and the country in the National Legislature. I feel that jmy experlence and large wc juaint- ance with public men and national affairs equip me better than ever be- fore for successful and useful service. “Itis well kmown to every obser- vant man that with few single excep- tions the Senators of greatest Influ- ence and power are those of longest service, The Senate ts a body in which the rule of senfority in service has a strong hold, and where other things are reasovably cqual prefer- ence {n committee assignments and other important appointments fe’ given to the older Senators. “Tlay no claim to the favor of the Missourt electorate. The Democrats of Missour! have conferred high hon- ors upon me and | would have no right to complain, and would not complain, ff, for any reason, they saw proper to displace me. Never- theless, 1 think I may say without undue egotism that !n all the public posittone I have filled I have striven to promote the public welfare and to acquit myself with credit. I have striven at all times and under all circumstances to do my duty. Ihave been assalled with great bitterness, and {n many ways. “Storles have been told of me which were pure inventions, and the facte in other cases have been eo distorted as to constitute in the substance nothing short of gross mendacity; but so far as I know, no person has ever assatled my officlal {nvegrity. That could not be done, because my otticlal acts are matters of public record. Moreover, I venture to as- sert that no man fn or out of Mis- sourt has ever discredited my Demo- cracy, or questioned my party tidelisy. “For thirty years [ have been on the firtny line in all the great polltt- | cal combate in Miesouri, and I think iit safe $0 say_ that no man who has figured in recent years in the public life of the state has received so few commendations from, or been sub- jected to so many savage attacts by the opposition as I have. Somemay think this may not be altogether to my credit, and possibly they may be right, but it at least shows that my Democracy has been of thatstalwart and militant ype which always ex- cites extrenfé hostility on the part of the opposition. “While | have many personal friends among Republicans, polltical- ly they have always been against me to a man; and, on the other hand, I have never sought or held an office by their favor. I am atill the same sort of an old-fashioned Jeffersonian- Jacksonian Democrat, nelther more nor less. I have no platform of my own a8 contradistingulsh from the platform of my party. My platform this year will be written at Denver and Jefferson City. That platform, T have no doubt, will sufficlently set fourth my well-matured convictions on public questions, and I expect to fight the battle of 1908 on the lines laid down by that platform, and not upon some different line of my own. “Thatis about all I care to say. I have no wish to exploit my per. sonal performances nor monopolize achfevements in which others are en- titled to share. As Congressman, Governor and Senator I have done my best, and while I feel that, like Othello, I have done the state some service, I do not flatter myself that I have singled-handed, like Horatius at the bridge, saved the state or country from the ‘demnition bow- wows.’ “In due time I will address the peo- ple of Missour! and lay before them my views on public questions trom the standpoint of an uncompromis- ing Democrat. I love my country as well as any man, and there{s nothing I would not cheerfully do to promote the glory of this republic and the |happiness of the American people. But at the same time I adbere to the belief that the greatest good to the nation can be best advanced through the agencies of the Democratic party and by the application of Democratic principles. “My earnest wish is that the im- res contest for Senator, and, that matter, all other contests in Missour! this year, may be conduct- , ed on a high so that when the| end is with ao’ litle heart burning om , Mi co kn be ho H CBSI00800-000 06 0:0988009000086905 000560050005: LPO LAPLL LAS The company last week purchased lots 1l and 12 in block 85, the old the Williameon and Montgomery lumber yard and adjoining the Fris- The plans for the elevator have not been decided upon, so it is nos rushed, however, and the company der construction.
