Saturday August 1, 1903. 12 Pages. ISSOURI STATE FAIR, Aug. 17 to 22. The stadium is filled with spectators, creating a sea of activity. The crowd is diverse, with many individuals of different ages and backgrounds. The atmosphere is lively, with many people cheering and enjoying the event. The stadium is well-lit, with bright lights illuminating the field and the crowd. The field is marked with white lines, indicating the boundaries of the playing area. The stadium is surrounded by trees, providing a natural backdrop to the event. The sky is dark, suggesting that the event is taking place in the evening.

Miss Dorsey's lips tightened and a spark of resentment lit her eyes. Why need Mr. Marvin always use that tone in addressing her? She was thoroughly aware of her tardiness and had been on the point of mentioning it herself and apologizing. "There was a blockade," she replied with dignity. "I had to walk part way." The city editor said nothing. Instead he smiled—that cool, inexplicable, wholly exasperating smile which Miss Dorsey was learning to know so well. The man himself was quite as inexplicable as his smile. She had learned that, too. For two weeks—ever since the new editor took charge—she had been driving conscientiously to perform her work in a manner satisfactory to him. That she had failed signally was only too apparent. Every day brought some fresh difficulty, some unexpected complication. The harder she tried to please him the surer she was to meet with obstacles which made the desired end impossible. Miss Dorsey despaired of understanding the why of it. That the situation demanded a psychic interpretation she was at last convinced. This morning she attacked her work in a reckless resentful spirit which resulted disastrously before the morning was half over. The story she was writing balked from the first, and when Mr. Merlin began calling for copy there was one forthcoming. "Copy ,please, Miss Dorsey." "It isn't ready." You have but ten minutes more. Please hurry. This must catch the next edition.' Then the spark of perversity which had seized her ideas seized Miss Dorsey. In a flash she had flung down her pencil and let fly the impetuous words that leaped to her lips. "I can't do it in that time, Mr. Merwin—it's no use." "You mean that you refuse." "I mean that I can't do it." we have taken to argue the matter." "Very well. I'll write it myself. I could have completed it in the time Very well. I'll write it myself. I could have completed it in the time The incident flung its baleful influence over the entire day. Matters culminated late that afternoon in a sarcastic verbal encounter wherein the city editor delivered himself freely of his opinions and Miss Dorsey cloaked her wounded feelings under a haughtily indifferent exterior. The girl was glad when she could hurry home to Margaret, her roommate, and pour out her woes to a sympathetic ear. "City editors," she declared, "are brutes." She gave the assertion a triple punctuation by hurling her hat on the table, her jacket on the shirt waist box in the corner and her umbrella across the improvised refrigerator in which she and Margaret kept delicatessan dainties for cozy evening repasts. "Dear, dear!" murmured the ever-sympathetic Margaret. Not being acquainted with the species she could scarcely commit herself until further enlightened. "Brutes!" reiterated Blanche Dorsey, throwing herself recklessly upon the divan and thereby imperiling the yellow fluffiness of Margaret's latest sofa cushion. Margaret kept a worried eye on her treasure the while she moved about picking up the discarded wraps. She was accustomed to Blanche's ways, but cheerfully overlooked deficiencies, arguing in her kindly heart that newspaper women are not supposed to possess the housewifely instinct. "Tell me about it, dear,' she said soothingly. And Blanche told her. ued report of his behavior when Blanche returned home the following day and was not a little astonished to be met with evasive replies. The next day it was the same, and when Margaret expressed astonishment Blanche only said: "I'm too disgusted and weary over it to care anything more about it." An unexpected assignment kept her late the next afternoon. "You look awfully tired, dear. It's a shame the way that monster of a city editor makes you work," cried the motherly Margaret. "He's not a monster!" came Blanche's quick retort. "It wasn't his fault at all." Margaret gasped. "Why I thought you said—" "I know it, but——" Blanche paused, blushing in the most unaccountably way. "He really wasn't to blame, you know. I was. Yes, really, I'm convinced of it. I don't wonder he lost patience with me. City editors have so much to annoy and distress them. The position is a dreadful trying one. I can see that. And as for Mr. Merwin—he's just the kindest dearest, most considerate—" The sentence lost itself in an inarticulate murmur. Margaret merely said "Oh!" very thoughtfully. Blanche was late again the next afternoon. It was quite dusk when she returned. Margaret gazing from the window, saw a young man take leave of her at the door. "Mr. Merwin was good enough to see me home," explained Blanche in reply to the inquiring look that greeted her. Then laughed. "He really couldn't help it very well when I asked him." "You asked him?" "It amounted to that." Blanche's eyes and cheeks were a revelation. "You don't look at all tired tonight." "I'm not, and I've worked hard all day, too." During the weeks that followed Blanche developed an amazing interest in household matters. She even sat up at night struggling with the creation of a sofa cushion under Margaret's instructions. THE TIMES. W. H. Carter, Editor Dr C- S. Walden, Rep't.

The democratic party has been naming nearly everybody they could think of as a fit candidate to trot out for governor. Should they nominate Hon. J. H. Bothwell they realize that they will have a strong fight if he is nominated. The passing of Pope Leo XIII will cause universal sorrow among all classes of people. No one has filled the papal chair with greater ability than the distinguished pontiff whose earthly career has just closed. His sympathies were broad and the world is better that such an one as he has lived and labored for the good of his fellowman. What would you do if you could not roar.

We have earnestly maintained that the lynching of Negroes upon the charge of rape would speedily be extended to minor offenses. This has come true. We have further maintained, and this has been the consistent attitude of the Negro press throughout the country, that the unpunished lynching of Ne- The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

This has been proven beyond a doubt by several acts of lawlessness which have recently occurred. Kentucky has just lynched a white murderer, unattended, however, we are glad note, by the usual brutal and savage practice in vogue at the lynching of a Negro. And now a Woroming mob has lynched two convicted murderers. Impatient the law's delays the American people are too ready to take the la in their own hands. If law is to be recognized as the basic principle of organized society of civil government and Christian civilization and the United States desires to hold its place in the forefront of this civilization then all classes of our citizen must unite in a determined effort to demand the enforcement of law. In making this demand they must also see to it that needed reform be wrought in the administration of the laws of the land so that every one, whatever his station, be given a speedy and impartial trial and not be permitted to escape the just punishment of his crime through some technicality. Would Americans of all classes be secured in life and property, lynch law must go.—Omaha Enterprise.

An ardent free trade, both worshiping at the can living in the very shrine of 16 to 1, both of them can- center of a democratic state and a democratic county, which county lies immediately between the home counties of two U. S. senators, both of whom are demonrats of national reputation, both of them high priests in the false doctrine of free trade, both worshiping at the shrine of 16 to 1, both of them can- didates for the democratic nomination for presidency, would indeedurnish a beautiful background to the picture of J. H. Bothwell running on the republican ticket for governor. When we consider the mass of boodling and corruption being brought to light by the courts day after day, the great scandal brought on the state by the democratic ring, the fact that the people are sick and tired of ring domination, we are forced to believe that the time has now arrived when the people will rise up in righteous indignation and hurl them from power. With a man like Bothwell at the head of our state ticket, the reversal of our state from the democratic to the republican column would be assured. As a matter of fact, we know of no man better qualified, nor no one whom the logic of events has so nicely fitted for governor as Mr. Bothwell. Without his seeking he has been the candidate of his party as representative for 12 consecutive years, and has as many times been elected, with one single exception. Never tangled up in any factional fights in his own party, absolutely in line with every principle of the national republican administration and advocating its policies with an ability possessed by but few men, yet no man stands higher with leading business men all over the state, be they democrats, republicans or populists, The political pot for the spring and fall of 1904 has begun to wobble in the minds of a number who are looking forth for political honors, as the fight is now quite a ways off.

There is quite a talk about another citizens' ticket next spring, but there still seems to be great opposition, as both parties want the mayorship. Mayor Babcock, who has done much good for our city during his two terms in office, deserves only the highest compliments from all Sedalians. He has in every way proven te be the man for the place, and has so managed the affairs of our city as to have put it within the bounds of prosperity and progress, The financial affairs have been carefully cared for and greatly reduced under his administration, for which all taxpayers and property owners should be proud. Mayor Babcock does not need a citizen's ticket to be re-elected mayor, because we think, as many others do, that he is strong enough, and has given such universal satisfaction that he can easily elected on his party ticket. There are several candidates just now for city marshal. Among them James A.

Boullt is being urged and boomed for this office next spring. Mr. Boullt has been in the police service for a number of years, and everybody knows he is fully qualified to serve the people as no other man has done as an officer. He has a number of colored friends who will push his claim. Officer C. W. Leftwich, another experienced officer and faithful servant, is also a decided candidate among democrats for the office of city marshal. We can say for him that he too has made an excellent policeman, and is a fit subject to make a good marshal. He has a number of colored friends, from the fact that he has done them some friendly turns. He did much in getting the colored band with the Red Men's carnival, for which the boys appreciate very much. Officer Howard Wood is also spoken of as a candidate for marshal. That he has made Sedalia an excellent policeman speaks well of his qualifications for marshal. and will no doubt be a hard man to beat on his party ticket.

The third term is not too much for our friend J. W. Truxel as police judge. His many warm friends will re-elect him on any kind of a ticket. There are several candidates for city collector, but no one can find any charges against the present incumbent, Mr. John Waddell who will doubtless succeed himself Frank Monroe deserves the highest comment from the citizens for his careful work as city assessor without regard to his amount of Jeffersonian democracy.

Phone 361 The Negro newspapers from every section of the country have had a great deal to say concerning the death of Pope Leo and the outlook of the Catholic church how we publish a spicy article on the California Independent at the benefit of our many readers: With the passing of Pope Leo the christian world looses one of the most brilliant thesesiastical diplomats of which the 19th century was productive. He succeeded the Pius at the time when Rome was being amid the convulsions of discord, not alone did he bring peace out of us, but he restored confidence in the during papacy. Pope Leo had a quarrel of a billion adherence by whom he loved and admired. The incidents of activity attending his assumption of pontificate were in marked contrast the scenes and activities which are desiring at the Vatican on the eve of the motion of his successor. The millions believe in the spiritual superiority divinity of the Pope cannot be favor- impressed with the crude ecclesias tical politics practiced by t the princes of the church in the choice of his successor. The several cardinals who aspire to the papacy are doing church politics of a very coarse nature, and should any of them secure a sufficient number of votes to secure the coveted prize, those votes will not give him that spirituality and divinity which millions of Catholics believe are the inherent attributes of the pope. The selection of the pope is a matter of grave concern, not only to catholics, but to the world at large, Leo gave the church a standing which will immortalize his name, and the standing and power the church for good would no doubt be jeapordized by a creature of the influences being practiced at the Vatican. According to the dispatches from Rome the church leaders are completely absorbed in politics while the dead ponttiff lies in state. It is reasonable to assume that the methods resorted to by the cardinals in the selection of a pope will be fraught with many schemes to which the successful aspirant must be a direct party While the body of Leo lies in the death chamber. and while thousands of mad devotees are rushing in to kiss his feet and while millions of catholics in all parts of the world are imploring God's blessings upon the dead pope, the cardinal devoting their attention to the individual Doings among Our Colored Churches 1949.10.18 Rev.

Among the possible candidates are Cardinals Cotti, Agliardi and Svampa, who stand for the reform policy, while Rampolla and Vanntelli represent the diplomaic policy of Pope Leo. Sarto and Gennari are the surprise candidates. With these candidates and their supporters actively engaged in the contest, one can judge the amount and degree of politics that must be done in the Sacred college before the pope will be elected.
