Owing to an unuuial amount uf It La evident that tho groat cnp- space taken by advertiser thin italists who have urrogated to week, the "Beanvlllc speech" is themselves the Job of keeping us uronun out. xw is ine spring airaisnt on reunion ami tne home.

Local Coin-tnerco already exceeds twenty among them Miss Jlortlo Dougherty. A comrudn writes: "Wc now have all tin' Daugherty family except Uncle Dllly, and I think It would be an lienor to our local If ho would us." Wo not know whether there are femalo members In Scott 'county or not but there ought -to be.

They would be a power in the movement. Get your wives and daughters to Join your locals and then watch It grow. Rev. C. M.

Weaver organized Commerce local and a member writes: "Bay, we have got one member in our local who Is good orator Rev. C. M. Weaver. I wish you could have heard him.

He is right there with the goods. We are going to have something doing over hero." And it wouldn't surprise the Kicker If there wasn't something doing all over the county. Secretary has mailed out referendum ballots this week, and the membership is to decide whether or not nn organizer is to be kept In the field. Tho result of this ballot will Indicate which ivny the wind blows. IN WAYNE COUNTY.

Tho county rourt did a very thiug last week in reducing the salary attached to tho of County Highway Engineer from $720 to $300 year. For tho lost two years the office of office of Highway Engineer lias bron a snap, spelled with a capital Greenville Journal. Carter county also reduced tho nay of the engineer to S300. Many counties havo nbolNhcd the fflci? entirely, and very few pay iver SriOO or $600. Here In Scott outity the county farmers union jn uo'ksas uj oq oj poudddm ante time the county court wh session, and a resolution requesting! the court to abolish the office was sent to the court by the farmers.

The court replied by re-appolu-tlng Mr. Warner at $1,500 per venr. I know of no other county In the state that pays such an enormous salary. In defense of tho action of the court it Is argued that if the farmers wanted tho office abolished they should nave petitioned for an election ind submitted It to the people. It isn't necessary.

The court could aave reduced the pay to $300 or $500, and then, If no one wanted it at that price, abolish tho office. Why the annoyance and expense of an election? The Democrats nrc great on wanting to submit things to the -people sometimes. THE DEMOCRATIC IDEA. A St. Louis crook who held up -i citizen of that place and him of $300 nine yearn ago, was tried March 3, 1001, convicted and sentenced to twelve years In the penitentiary.

After the usual number of delays, a retrial, and couple of appeals, no was finally started for Jefferson City. On the way he made lis escape and has been recaptured in England. This affords a pleasant trip for two St. Louis officers at public expense, in order bring the criminal back. What this one crook has cost the state already amounts to many times tho amount of his boot; while he uas yet his 12-year ternato serve.

In tho days of the whipping pout no would have been given fifty tashes immediately and told to in no more. Cape Girardeau News. For a newspaper to suggest the whipping post In this the twentieth century, Ls amazing. Whose fault is It that It took the law nine years to convict a criminal? Of course the criminal has strong backing among influential citizens, else this could not have happened. Nd telling what sort of a pull that fellow has.

Was It the prisoner's or tho fault of the authorities, tlr.u he got away? May It not that ho was purposely let go? Why do suggest the whipping post for the small thief and no punlshiivnt for his pals higher up In "respact-uble society?" Who got that $05,000 that wllp-icd out of the St. Louis subtreas-urv along about tho same time that! this thief got the $300? JWbyi can so largo a sum not be located when taken by rospecta-blc thieves? FROM CROOKED CREEK. -After a short visit with grand parents, Uttle Clin Schats returned to bla home at Vanduser, accompanied by his uncle, Honry Bid. C. M.

Bears at Hibernating Tlmt. Mnuy bear that hibernate dig loto hillside to find a neat, but for a mild winter they are likely to roll ay In tone ihullow excavaUoa or a hoi Jew tree. 'ttl, eurelASM Hornet I men Lust week the millionaire meat packer, Jack Cudahy, of Kansas City, sends hla wife home In his automobile, saying he waa going out of the city. They had been to the theatre. However, Mr.

Cudahy had it understood with tho chaffcur that he should come back. Late in the night Cudahy and the chaffcur entered the house and there found a mlllionalr banker named LUlls with Mrs. Cudahy. Such things are mj common In capitalist society that tho wonder is that Cudahy took the mat ter seriously. Hut bo lost his temper and ho and the chaffcur branded LUlls with hot Irons and otherwise mutilated him.

Mrs. Cudahy, who tried to interfere, got a black eye. Tho press reports say there will be "no prosecution." Roth LUlls nnd Cudahy support newspapers, preachers and "professors" to teach us that Socialism will destroy the home. ATTENTION SOCIALISTS.
