The Enterprise tells of the experi- ences of Mr. and Mre. B. M. Robison, of Joplin, who drove into Ameter- dam in an automobile last week, on @ pleasure trip. That night it rained.

Denning does not deny the impeachment by Col. Morrison that he was led to criticite the country }eurrounding Mountainalr by the | “dry condition” prevaiilpg, but Col Denning places an entirely different | meaning on that term from that {m- | pled by Col. Morrtson’s article. Col. Denning intimates very strongly | that Col. Morrison’s views of that country are warped by pecuniary jconsiderations. Col Morrison may | be expected to have something to say as to that charge.

That excellent Democratic organ, ' the St. Joseph Observer, presents a number of most convincing reasons why, of all others, David R. Francie should be chosen as the Democratic standard-bearer in the race to be’ made two years hence for Senator! Warner’s seat in the Senate. The Obeerver points out that while Mr. ! Francis is good Preeidential timber, he would make a most valuable rep- ! resentative of the people in the Sen- ate. Of the long and honorable list of Missourt’s Governors, none have left that office more universally re- spected and admired than David R. rancie. Nor is his fame and popu- larity confined to his own State, or even to his own country. He is known allover the United States and in every country on the civilized globe, and everywhere is recognized as & statesman, a man of highability and gifted with that personal charm that makes for personal popularity. Whether as Senator or President, he would do honor to the party nomi- nating him.—Glasgow Missourian. business. Next Saturday.
