FELEPIIENO NO. THURSDAY, Mo. II JULY oO, 1908 Young Mr. Rockefeller says that he gets his light by pray in;,' for it, but have you noticed that he charges the rest of us 15 cents per gallon for it and a little more when a donation is to be made. Mis To us it appears that the Missouri Supreme Court lias made a grave error in fining Editors Shepherd and fund iff and has et a dangerous pre cedent. The liberty of the peo ple depends upon a free press and free speech. Doubtless the criticism ol the court for which the editors were fined was a severe one and perhaps an un just one. Had the criticism been regarding any citizen, it matters not how humble he might be. that citizen would have had the benelit of the law to aid him in an action against the publishers. The members of the Supreme Court, as men, are no better and no worse than other men. and should not as sume the holier than thou at titude, and thereby jeopardize the liberties of the people. They should take the same legal steps that an ordinary citizen would have to take and thus aid the people in maintaining their liberty. Senator P. M.

Missouri afraid of a tion. Democracy is not thorough invesliga- Take the laiifl off all trust made or trust controlled goods Stand up for the r i 14 lit. The money question is a dead issue. Our Republican friends have said so on many occasions, and yet Congress will hardly be in session before some finan cial legislation will be propos ed by some leading Republican and the bill will be diiectly op posed to the interests of the masses and in the special inter est of the favored few. Monroe County owes it to her 1 self to have a county exhibit at the World's Pair. In order that j such county exhibit be made we must get to work. The county .court should be asked to make an appropriation. Now is the ; time to work. Our Republican friends do be- lieve in leciprocity to the ex tent of giving the trusts all the (favorable legislation they de Isire; provided, however, that j the trusts will dig up for the Republican campaign slush fund. Democrats do not need any advice from our Republican friends when it comes, to mak ing platforms in the interest of the plain people and nominal ing a good strong ticket.

America's Oldest Mines in Missouri. The oldest mines in America are the lead and nickel mines at Mine La Motte in Madison county. They were worked by the Indians as early as 172(5 and have been in continuous opera tion ever since. The Indians carried tile ore to Ste. Gene vieve where it was traded to the French and German settlers for beads and calico. The mines were latT worked by the Span ish and were finally acquired by a French nobleman, La Motte after whom the mines were named. During the Revolutioiv ary war a lrage part of the bul lets used by the Colonial troops were made from the lead from these mines. An interesting exhibit of the Missouri Commis sion at the World's Fair will show the primitive tools used in mining in those early days Among them is a wooden spade supposed to be over 100 years old, which is now in the pos session of a leading citizen of Fredericktown.

John Haydeu, of Cincinnati, was in the city Saturday. The Evansville (Ind.) Courier has the following to say abcut the recent riot in that city by which many persons lost their lives: "The cause of the present reign of terror in this city can be directly traced to the vitia tion of the negro for political purposes. Before electiou time the advertisements are sent up and down the river among the shiftless negroes stating that they canjgt.t money for their votes at Evansville. The idle, ignorant and vicious flock here; they are colonized in saloons; they-are gathered in herds the night before election, even in the custom house and the tem ple of justice, debauched with free beer and corrupted with free dollars, when tbey are properly ready to be used on , election day.
