The Democrats carried Uutlor as usual, by the usual majority, in the usual M ay, as they usually do. St. Louis and Chicago elected democratic mayors but the re publicans are likely to hold the legislature of both cities. Mrs. Roosevelt took to the water and is now in the Florida seas. President Roosevelt then took tothe M-oods and is now in the Colorado hills. The election of Emma Cassity was a t ribute to her energy, and practical common sense, as dem onstrated in her canvass more than to her political affiliations, The cities and towns where party tickets Mere in the held in Missouri resulted more general ly favorable to the Republicans than the Democrats, showing that the state is not yet quite ready to return to the Demo cratic fold. The adoption of the Cold Stan darn by Mexico goes into effect A pail HUh. The whole world is learning that a standard does not meet the redemption of all indebtedness at one and the same time, or in the same kind of cur rency. Anything that satisfies the contracting parties Mill an swer for the ultimate redemption. Standards are only used when there is a difference. A standard must be established by the gov ernment for the jxsiple of that government mid by the nations for the world at large. It must bo single and of universal appli cations in its sphere so mm to Ik just and impartial. Osage tow nship and the city of Rich Hill have just past through an election each that capped the climax of anything we ever wit nessed in local elections. The Republicans of the township nominated a ticket of as clean, moral and upright men as were ever put before the people for their suffrage nnil yet no tic ket Mas over worse ImmIcii in tin! township. Every Republican who! had a grievance, pique or prod judice ssmiis to have taken it to the jm.IU with him and voted it straight. Well known stalwart Republicans went to the jmiIIs and woi ked all day boldly and above board for the Democrat ic 1i lo t but no Democrat worked or tin: Republican ticket. The entire effort of the Democracy and their assistants seemed to be determined ujsiii a wholesale be.it ci t!;0 Republican ticket. "While the result was a tremen dous Democratic victory it was teemed by Keoublican votes,! Tims went the township election. In the City election the same conditions Mas clearly at work all day with this diTorome that the piques, grievance) and prod judiees were voted by nil Mho had them Itoth Democrats and Republic ans. The Name element that two years ago ohetod the city officers this year defeated them. Every man that had n grievance tok it to the polls with liim and voted it. There NiH'inod to be little thought of the best interest of the city, but I owe htm one and I got r chance to give it to him now and I '11 do it. And the ballot went into the box accordingly. We hope M-e shall never see another such election in Rich Hill or in Osage toM-n-ship. Denunciation of the legal pro fession as a w hole does not do the individual members of the pro fession any harm. Lawyers have been denounced and caricatured in the public prints and on the stage from a time immemorial. Hut in spite of it all the individu al laM-yer is respected according to his merits. And, more than that, be is trusted by the very people Mho Rre most violent in their denunciation of lawyers as a class. Your HaMser Trunnions and your Landers may damn the lawyers until threatened Mith apoplexy, but when there is trouble a-breM ing they hie them hence to those very same lawyers. Trusted M ith the most intimate secrets, and often Mith the al most absolute control of the prop erty of his client, the individual laM-yer can M ell afford to say of the criticisms of his profession Mhich pass current with the vul gar that "they pass by me as the idle M ind Mhich I respect not." These criticisms are harmful though. The bar is a part of the machinery of the law just as much as judges and juries are a part of that machinery. Falsely en courage the belief that juries can invarably be bribed and that judges arc corrupt, and all re- spect for the law Mill be destroy ed. Disseminate injurious false hoods about, and misrepresenta tions of, the legal profession, and just to the extent that the lawyer is a part of the machinery of the law reiect for the Lim' M ill be undermined. These truths are obvious. Obviously, too, u pub lication Mhich reaches the people assume a grave responsibility in printing falsehoods. Fair criti cisms are not to be suppressed. Rather are they to be Melcomed. Hut there is a vast difference be tween a just criticism and an un scrupulous and utterly dishonest denunciation. Luw Notes. Striking Coincidence. The elections last November and last Tuesday tell an interest ing and important story. They serve notice on bothof the domi nant parties in Missouri that the jwople are no longer bound by party lines. We have formed a site government of Republican and Democratic officials. We have just made a municipal gov ernment for St. Liuis of like mate-rial. The two old political parties must teware in the fu ture. The party that submits the ts'st ticket and platform to the people will win at the h. This is as it should bo. Missou ri is now in a healthy condition lolitieal!y, after many years of sad affliction.

Of Interest to Teuanta Judge FJlison of the court of apieals handed dow n a decision recently that w ill be of interest j tolenant.f as well as landlords. I H. F. Cornelius rented a house toj Julius liosen in St. Joseph from j month to month. On August Cornelius gave Itoscn notice to! vacate on or before September 1. 1 Rosen moved August o, con ! tending that all c laim for rent j ceased that day. j In his opinion, Judge Kilismi! nays: "The plaintiff, as landlord could have held defendant for; rent until defendant should haei t given him a month's written no tice of his intention to quit. Ami ' defendant, as tenant, could have I psjuired a oorrcsnding notice from plaintiff before he could! hiive Isstl compelled to vacate.! Hut neither of these condition appear in this cam;. Here the plaintiff chose to waive his right to a continued tenancy by gising notice to defendant asking him to acute at uuy time before bei- tonibct I, and defendant took him at his word and quit. We think plaint ilT under such cir cumstances has no cause for de manding rent, .beyond the time defendant remained."

It ought to be there somewhere, and he likes to look for it just to please you. If your friends dont write curse the postmaster, he's to blame. If he tells you thero is no mail for you, put on u grieved expres sion and say, 'there ought to be some.' He is probably hiding your mail for the pleasure of having you call for it two or three times a day. Ask him to look again." Subtraction.
