In Missouri all that is neces- sary to conduct a first class Re- publican newspaper, apparently, is a wide, well developed streak of pessimism, together with an} iron clad conscience and an elas.) tic imagination. For years the G. 0.. P. pditors| have been holding the state up to the public gaze as ‘‘poor old | Missouri”’ and of late the attack | ’ has broken out locally with the eminent editor of the Bates Coun- | ty Record, who is advertising the county, whose people are furnish- ing his daily bread, as one of the ‘‘pauper’’ counties of thé state upon the flimsy excuse that Bates county receives as her apportion- ment of the state’s revenues ap- proximately $30,000.00. Will.all Mr. Atkeson’s readers who desire the county to refuse to accept her full share of the up one hand while with the other they dig down in their jeans and produce their portion of the tax necessary to make up the amount of what the Record insinuates to be a charitable donation ? You count ‘em Mr. Atkeson. FOUND A MARE’S NEST. The Bates County Record, | which of late has developed ‘a} wonderful penchant for finding ‘‘mare’s nests’’ attacks the coun- ty court because the petit jury | and the grand jury as drawn for the October term of the Circuit Court does not contain quite enough Republicans or Progres- sives, (it is difficult to ascertain with just which party Mr. Atke- son is now affiliated). The County Court, which Mr. Atkeson well knows picked these juries in strict accordance with the statutes, selected the names from which théy were drawn without regard to. polities, en- deavoring to secure upon’ the juries the type of men best qual- ified to serve in such capacity, and Mr. Atkeson and his political advisers may substantiate this statement at the county clerk’s office where the slips containing these names are still on file. Should he take the trouble to look these names over, we believe he will also find ‘that the gentle- men selected for the jury draft were nearly equally divided in political complexion. A WEAK EXPLANATION. It is hardly probable that this government will accept Ger- many’s explanation of the sink- ing of the Arabic, The contention that. the commander of the sub- marine which launched the fatal torpedo that it was done in self slefense, he believing his boat to be in danger of attack, is rather a flimsy excuse in view of the fact that the torpedo which sank the Arabic struck the ship near the stern and not in the bow, as would have been the case had the liner made an attempt to run the submarine down.
