Hale, or national campaign often is the cause of unexpect ed acts anil surprising utteranees-on fie part of candidates and campaigner, es reciallv the riovi'e. Take the case, of our on tuntil latel)) Hon. HumpHc Springstun, eistwhile instiuessrln Eug. liJi at the L'nirersit), now RsSne Coun ty's Republican candidate "for p.wcut in attorney a id orator-at large for tbe Republican Stale Committee. The Hon. Springstun is an orator. He lets his audience learn this ee-ret by means of newspaper advertisements and handbills, one of the latter bing icpro. duced abme. The fact thai Is- is not -Teacher of Orat.iy" at tlie Univcrsll) f Missouri, or -Piofessor of Public ?l taking as proclaimed in another handbill icreived here, docs not prevent him from asserting it and trying In gain prettier- by connecting himself with the t'nin r-ity. It's true that lie, did hold an insirncioisliip in English in ll'e lni vers!: and helped coach debators but tlie records s'iow that after teaching here li- was not rc-ominended for reappoint nil! and is no longer in any way con nects! wilh the Unirrrsily. what iir ssvs or toit'Mn Tlie Hon. Springstun, ilh his ora torical ability,, is doing service not in the large centers bat is epell bindiig in the smaller tn. The other night, Au- gu-l 30, he orated at Browning, a village in Linn County. It was in Browning that some Cokmlians first beard of turn lie ing overcome by the "h'at of the cam. tuirfii. Laboring in Browning with all the arts at the command of a "profess'ft of pub lie speaking In the interests of lm state party, he furgot,-PPrently, he was run nins for .office back in Boohe County. What be said about -Columbia, according to tellers received liere, wouldn't start a ruJi of Columbia rilizens to the polls on election day to cast their ballots for him. Having solved the grave state prob lems, Hon. Sprinsstun candidate and campiign orator, effectively used this bit of r-hertising for Columbia to work his hearrrs up to tbe right pitch of politi cal enthusiasm: -Columbia is the fourth largest boot legging joint in the United States 01 words to the same effect. One can easily imagine this artful pub lic speaker wotking all Browning up to a rlimatical hush and then bursting tlie foregoing oratorical bombshell on their hands. Not satisfied, so letters tell, he hurled another one: "Columbia is a hotbed for gamblers and immoral women.1 What aif awful place Columbia must bein the eyes of Browning today! One canee the audience rising en masse and , demanding Columbia should be exter minatedor moved to New Jersey. CdLLMBU A CLEAN CITY Now as to the facts about Columbia's iniquities. , There: is not a cIeaner-.'own a the country than Columbia. "Such is the opinion of officials, business men, and residents of this city. Police admit that there is some sort of concoction made of Jamaca ginger be ing used here to a limited extent. "Jake", as it is called, is- now common every where as the successor of John Barley corn. There is no taw to prevent its sa!: yet the quantity used here is much smaller than roost towns according tolhe police. Two drunks have been found in Columbia since, last winter, and con victions resulted in both case. "If Mr. Springstun is making state ments of that kind he is saying things be knows to be absolutely false," said J. F. Whilesides chief of police. "There is not a town in lire country the site of Columbia that is anywhere near as clean in every respect. Thrrs Js no whisky here, and I know that none 1s being sold. Anyone nuking statements like that is doing so to spite the town or the University, either of which be may have a grudge against." "HIS SIATCMEm mDicvioos" "I don't know Springstun," said Boyle ?. Clark, city attorney. "I don't know viher- he could have gotten hi informa tion. His statements as cnioled to me air so ridiculnus and far from the truth as rot to irerit an answer." There is not a cleaner or more moral atmosphere in any town in the stale than found in Columbia," ay Ceorge S. Starrett, counly'prosecutlng attorney. "Anvone who says otherwise is either ig norant or has a grouch against the city and schools." "Absolutely fake. Nothing to it. That was what M. I. Edwards, poRce judge said. ihiisc &iuhc.I with OJacl.a, B-wm- f THE WEATHER Weather Forcast Until 7 a. m. Wed nesday. For Columbia and Vicinity: Unset tled weather tonight and Wednesday probably with showers; not much "change in temperature. For Missouri: Showers rrobablr to- night and Wednesday; not much change in temperature. Weather Conditions. Light showers have fallen in tbe ex treme upper part of tlie Missouri Valley. and in Missouri thence south of Louis iana. Elsewhere mostly fair weather has prevailed. Temperatures are moderate but still below the. seasonal average in the cen tral interior states. A high pressure wave is moving southeast out of the far North west, attended by clear skies and quite low temperatures; light to heavy fios:s have occurred in Idaho, Montana, and Alberta. The Missouri roads are rough and there are a few small mudholcs in low places. The Old Trails is in fair con dition. Unsettled weather wilh showers will prevail during tlie neit 36 hours. Local Data: Tbe highest temperature in Columbia yesterday was 7b; ami the Ins est last night was 6.1 Precipitation 000. A jear ago jeslrrday the highest t-mperature was S3 and the lowest was 66.

BIs'ATTACK ON UMVTJOrTT Tlie president of the University, he idd his Browning audience, does not vote. He doewTt vote, according to Hon. ;pring:un, Lecause lie warns io mane it appear lliat he belongs to no political party. But he further enlight-ns Brown ing, the prcsiirnt is alas active in be- alf of tlie Democratic arly. Biuwiiins thus gets considerable infor mation fiom Boone Counlys candidate, ihat Columbia bad not been "let in on." Bul it isn't as bad alter all. All this is to be changed. Tlie state has been informed br Hon. Springstun in hi" Brufcning speech Out: "Artbur Hrdo has pledged himsell rhen. elected to clean up the affaire of ."olumbia and the Slats University. In tbo meantime ' Die "people of the state, through Hon. Springstun, orator, in bis Browning peech, are advised not to send tbeir jns and daughters to tbe University in olumbia. Springstun is a University of Micliigan man. While in the University liere he studied law for a time. So far as is known here, tliis is his 6rl appearance it politics, at least publicly. When he left Columbia recently on his oratorical flight, be said in an interview that too many bad checks were boating about Columbia and the practice had to b stopped. As he traveled from Columbia, other vices seemingly occurred to him. The false advertising Columbia and ihe University received in Browning, it is to be assumed, also was given in other localities. Campaign speeches by the ame man are often of the same tenor. VALUED HIGHER County Board Finds Assessor Underrated Stock of Busi ness Concerns.
