I notice that a lot of the headlines from the St. Louis Post Dispatch are from 1908. Is this just the year you've been looking at lately, or was 1908 an especially crazy year for Missouri?

I’m just going through every day in 1908 in the St Louis Post-Dispatch at the moment. There wasn’t really any rhyme or reason for it, I’m sure what happened was I did a general search for something in all the papers I have access to, and found a good headline there, and then looked around the page I was on and thought “hey, this is all great!” and I haven’t stopped since, haha.
There’s a lot of great stuff in the St Louis Post-Dispatch from 1895 - 1910, and I think I’ll keep going (forward and backwards) but I figured I didn’t want to miss anything, so I’d stick with 1908 until the end of it’s year.
