Judging from thc present oilt-
j look those who go to St. Louis
lo see the democratic national
convention will have more fun
I
than those who g'o to see the ex-
I
position. - -
It is not often that a government -
mcnt employc is found who is
really entit ticd to more salary than
he is drawing , for thc government
is generally very liberal in thc
compensation of its servants. . . But
.r' '
-
F , I we do not believe that thc pa < lf'
received by thc rural 'mail carriers -
t ricrs iH sufficient . We believe
. . ; that the very nature ' of their work
\ ' entitles them to a greater compensation -
e pensation than they ) now receive.
Any action on thc part of those
in authority tending to increase
the pay of thc rural carrier . will
I " prove popular and an increase

I means an improvement in the 1

HAN NA.
By something akin to that
phychic phenomenon known as
auto-sug'gcstion , the democratic
editors of this country have c\'i-
.
dently made themselves believe
I that 1vlark Hanna is really going
, to .bc a candidate for thc prcsi-
dcncy. How often in thc politi-
cal history of this country .have
these democratic editors selected
a republican candidate and had
him all groomed and ready for
I the rac , only to find that the duly
-
constituted republican national
; ; _ - convention had different ideas on
the subject If Mr. Hanna's personal -
sonal sense of the eternal fitness
of things will not permit him to
hc a presidential candidate , it iH
not likely that the united efforts
of all the democratic editors in
. the country can so persuade him.
The [ fact is that Billy Hearst is
more likcl'y to be thc democratic
. . . candidate than that Mark Hanna
, is to head the republican ticket.
f But while the democratic editors
are so amusing themselves , they
are doing nobody any harm , and
thc great republican party is go-
ing right ahead with its arrangements -
mcnts to rcnomjnate and trium-
phantly re-clcct Theodore Hoose-
\'clt.

STOCK POWDERS :
At a recent meeting of the . state
s\vi11o breeders association , .Prof.
Samuel Avery , experiment sta-
tion chemist , read a notable pa-
pcr. This paper dealt with the
subject of stock powders and con-
taincd some very pertinent rc-
marks. According to Prof. Avery
who ought to know , thc composition -
tion of these preparations are
very similar. lIe had analyscd
twcnty-f1ve different brands and
found that their principal ingre-
dicnts were corn meal , linncal ,
flax seed meal , bran and" " germ
meal and from this hc draws the
logical conclusion that if corn
meal iH worth one cent a pound it
is unprofitable to buy it in thc
form of stock powder at sixteen
cents a round : lIe further ' says
'
'fh'crc is not a particle of evidence -
dcnce , to thc best of my know-
ledge from any carefully con-
trolled experiments . showing that
these foods have been used to
thc advantage of the purchascr.
In conclusion I would say that
I expect to bc denounced for ex-
posing graft on the farmers , but
1 am willing to say without fear
of succcssful contradiction , that
if my words have persuaded any
one present not to buy a twenty-
five cent package of any stock
food I have saved him at least
twenty-onc ccnts. "
'l'hc exposures made by so eminent -
nent an authority as Prof. Avery
are worthy of serious consideration -
tion and should serve to put thc
stock breeder on his guard. '
Doubtless the breeders have been
] made thc victims of a stupendous
graft worked by unscrupulous
manufacturcrs of so called stock
powders. It might bc well for
the breeder to insist that , the
agent , or manufacturer produce a
-
certificate from thc chcmbt } of
the state experiment station
showing that the powder is what
it is represented to bc and that it
will do the worl ( claimen for it :

MANJS INHUIAN1TY.
n. C. Davis , editor of the Falls
City News failed to land the con-
tract for the county printing , although -
though from thc standpoint of
services rcmlcrcd to his party , he
was entitled to it. Taking this
fad as a text J. Lee Dalbcy , a
democrat of the old school and
the editor of the Shubert Citizen
preaches a little scrmon on mans
inhumanity to man sIn thc
course of his 'rcmarks on Nir.
Davis' party loyalty , Dr. Dalbey
says :
"He stood up and was counted
as one of Judge Kelligar's most
ardent supporters , and because of
their belief in his statement that
Kellig-ar was not only a democrat
but an honorable man who would
not enter into an unholy alliance
with any man in a campaign of
slander , of even give such a cam-
paig-n his sanction , that many
Rcavis dcmocrats , and anti-Reavis
republicans voted for him \ \vith
thc hope that hc would at least
make an effort to 'Keep thc Judiciary -
diciary Pure , " only to find that
his election was made possible hy
treachery to the party , and the
rewarding of John 1..Iartin . for his
campaign of slander , by which
he was elected , by appointing
him court reporter , over the
heads of several loyal democrats
fully itS competent to fill the po-
sition as he. "
Ye , . Bro. Davis has a right to
roar and roar loud and long.
But what good will it do him
now ?
The leaders of that IVlartin-Kel-
ligar combine arc in the saddle
and will never get out as long as
there is a loop hole to cling to , or
cash in the treasury from which
to draw salary , and the only
thing that Bro. Das and all
other honest people carr . do for
thc present is to grin and bear
it. "

WHITE NEGROES.
It is claimed that radium , the
newly discovered metal can be
used to change thc color of the
ncgro's skip and to brake him a
White man as far as appearances
are conccrned. This is probably
one of the "irridesccnt dreams"
of science but it must-be admitted
that the same is highly impOltant'
if truc. 'fake a negro infant and
make his skin 'whit and when he
grew to manhood he might cause
all kinds of trouble , that is if he
chose to conceal his true race ,
which he wuuld probably elcct-to
do It would be impossible , un-
dcr such circumstances to pre-
vent thc intermarrying of the
races and the-sociological 1 distur-
bances that Wonld be sure to fol-
low. _ The southern mob would
have all kind of trouble determining -
ing whether a prisoner was of
negro descent and as such\vorthy
of death at the s'take. Thc 1108-
sibility of white negroes forecasts
a great increase in , the sire : and
weight of the white man's bnr-
den.

SENATORS.
The scheme to nominate candi-
dates { for the United Slates senate ,
at the state convention and thus
bind thc legislature to do thc peoples -
ples will , has much to commcnd
it . as far as the intention is con-
cerncd , but the questiOli' is , will
it do the work ?
The idea of electing United < l
States senators by direct vote of
the people , has become very pop-
ular of late years , but this being
obviously impossible thc pledging
of the legislature that makes the
senators is regarded by many as
the next best fhing- Long and expensive -
