Senator Stone's "Shirt-Tail" Circular
Miss Annie Chapman, the brilliant editor of Rocheport Progress, touches up the latest Stone circular in the following editorial paragraph:
"U.S. Sen. Stone has sent out a circular letter, so coarce in its wording as to be unfit for publication. We believe that questionably and dirty allusions will be frowned down even when made by a senator.
"We people out in Missouri are not interested in the odor of a magazine writer's bath water. We do desire to keep posted on the acts of our officials at Washington, and in this we do not exceed our right."

ON BOONE'S WOMAN EDITOR
A Sketch of Miss Anna Chapman in the Kansas City Star.
In an article in the Kansas City Star on the woman editors of the state, a sketch of Miss Annie Chapman, of the Rocheport Progress, is given. Miss Chapman is one of the few woman who founded newspapers. She is her own advertising manager, writes her own editorials and can do any of the mechanical work in the office. The Star says:
"The Progress takes a decided stand on all questions of the day, political or otherwise. When Boone county built a new courthouse this little paper alone attacted the character of some of the contract work, with the result that a faulty foundation was rejected. Miss Chapman is not at all afraid of making a fight. In the recent primary she made a hard fight for a 'dry' candidate for representative."
