Five more days—then Christ¬
mas,
To cut down Southern represen¬
tation in Congress seems to be tho
aim of republicans. Better let it
alone. No time for sectionalism.
It is estimated that in the lower
house of congress alone there will
be 25,000 bills introduced. This
covers every shade of national leg¬
islation.
On January 1, 1902, at my home

ample of social equality with the
colored brother.

ney o’er life’s rugged pathway.
Secretary Wilson of the nation¬
al department of agriculture, is a

er of the horse. At a recent horse
show he quoth to.Ml the people;
“The horse is with us today, and
he will be with us through the ages
when the automobile and the bi¬
cycle are in the jnnk pile. No man
over rode a bicycle who had own¬
ed a horse; no man would own an
automobile who understood the
beauties of the horse.”

Among the expenses of the Czol-
gosz trial is an item of $500 to the
attorneys for “defending” the
prisoner. Pretty good pay to t*vo
men, one of whom did not even
open his mouth ; while the other
apologised for appearing in the
case, and refused to take advant¬
age of a single one of the legal
rights to which his client was en¬
titled, and commended to the
hangman in a live minutes talk.—

The argumeot that the tariff
should not be taken off the pro¬
ducts of the steel trust because
there are a lot of little independ¬
ent concerns which need protec¬
tion is being answered by the or¬
ganization of another still bigger
steel corporation with a capitili-
zation of $2,000,000,000, which is
absorbing practically 7 all the little
fellow’s leit by the United States
steel corporation. There wont be
any little fellows left to protect.
Smith & Barry are headquarters
for Christmas goods.
There are only two populists in
the house of representatives at
Washington, and to their credit be
it said that both declined to enter
the democratic caucus and be
bound by it. If the peoples party
Had turned a deaf ear to the song
of the hypocritical democracy we
would today have had a hundred,
or more memoers in congress.
This is the result of the foul
scheme of fusion, and we hop > in
the future we will never have any
co-operation with the virus ot the
old hag,

Ten national banks of Boston
have been combined, to take effect
Jan. 1. The people who have mon¬

enough to do the same for their
benefit?—Appeal to Reason.
We can tell you how to have a
happy Christmas. Study who will
have the saddest Christmas and
try to make them happy. Do you
think of some poor, helpless per¬
son? Send them a nice present, or
better, take it and make them a
bright, helpful visit. I)o you know
some poor child whose parents can¬
not afford presents? Take the
brightest, loveliest present you
have and send or give it to them,
What a glorious Christmas would
we have all over the state if
all of us could do something like we
think Jesus would have do. May
the Lord take away all selfishness

Christmas and all other days. We
are happy when we have made
others hapoy.

The Country Ekitor.
In opposing a hill introduced in
the Missouri legislature to reduce
the rate paid to new (papers for
printing the Australian ballot,
Senator II. Clay Heather said :
“No man in the community
does more for the public and re¬
ceives less for it than the country
editor.
“If all the space he employs in
booming the town, in helping in¬
dividuals, making statesmen—
sometimes out of pretty raw ma¬
terial—were paid for even at half
the legal rate, lie would be the
richest man m the country,
“Few country editors are rich,
but they are of more service to the
communities where they live than
the wealthiest man. They are in
the forefront of every movement
for progress. They do the work
and leave the emolument to oth-
ers. A good and clean and honest
country newspaper—and most
country newspapers are good and
clean and honest—helps on every
worthy cause and deserves every
encouragement. It lights the par¬
ty battles, holds up the hands of
the reformer and makes the scoun-
drel afraid.
“I am opposed to the bill. No
papers in my county would print
the ballot at the pitiful price tiara- (
ed. They are uot paupers, But,
for the amount of splendid service
they render, they ought to be nnl-
louairos.”
