The work of selecting and swearing. in the jury was completed before court adjourned at 1:2. Only % veniremen were examined in selecting the jury panel of 2%. Samuel G. Calhoun of 1482 Union boulevard was the only man summoned whom the Court excused. Hea said he had read of Naughion’s case and did not think an tmnocent man would run away.

Field testified that he had talked about the case with fellow employes of the Cupples Woodenware Co. Judge Fisher declined to excuse him. The defense cut him off among the eight men whom the law allows thein to excuse. They also cut off John J. Fitegwilliams of 4465A Elmbank avenue. Among the four men whom the State rejected from the panel was a man named Appel, who testified that he was a lifelong friend of Delegate Bourg and Oscar Grenvel of 2719 North Broadway’, who testified that he occasionally took a drink in Delegate Warner’s saloon.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—‘The gasoline- driven automobile has added a new dis- ease to the woes of civilization—a dis- ease which may cut 10 years off the life of the persons afflicted. I would call it ‘automobile disease,’ and have dis- covered that not only in New York, in streets frequented by such motor cars, but in Paris, London and Berlin, it also éxists.’’ Dr. Henry Becker made this state- ment last night after conducting tests for nearly a year on patients suffer- ing from the new malady, which af- fects the tissues of the throat and lungs, causing congestion and decay and giving a working area for the bacilli of consumption, pneumonia, grip and other affections peculiar to the respiratory organs. “Some device should be used to ab- sorb the fumes from these machines, as they endanger many lives, especially those of the traffic squad policeman,” said the doctor.

Helen, after working five months ats an operator at the Forest exchange of the Bell Telephone Co., at Delmar boul- evard and Lake avenue, was discharged after she had boasted to Miss Zoe Byrnes, the chief operator, that she was a boy. : “Why, the Idea!” the idea!’ said Mrs. Badger Monday. ‘I am surprised that anyone should think I could be fooled s0 easily.

A startled cry came from the room and the girl rushed out and told Miss Byrnes about it. “| Ama Boy! So, There!” Little Helen tossed her pretty bionde head and said in her high treble voice: “Tam a boy! So there!” She was dis- charged. J. W.

By Wire From the Washington Bu- renu of the Post-Dispatch, WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—President Roosevelt cannot sing the old songs now and he has asked the Librarian of Congress to refresh his memory. ,Act- ing on a suggestion which came from the White House, employes at the library are busy compiling the mu- sic and words of all the stirring martial composi- tions which have been used to fire the spirits of American soldiers from the Boston Tea Party up to and including the capture of San Juan Hill. The Presi dent has often said to his close friends that it is his be- lief that without not be won. It is

Just Can’t Keep His Feet Still. Those who have been on the platform with him at parades and reviews know that he can scarcely keep from danc- ing when that famous old “Come All Ye,” “Garry Owen,’’ is played. This is a tune that will make most any man go to war or to a game of hurley with a smile. When “A Hot Time in the Old Town’”’ Is played, the President throws aside all restraint and waves his arms in time to the music. That was the tune they played when the President did or did not march up San Juan Hill. Only a few nights ago, at one of his receptions, the Pres- ident gripped the-——= hand of Charles K. Harris and said pos- sibly the only kind word that was ever § said for “‘After the B Ball,”’ which Mr. Min, Harris admits that he wrote. / ses; claimed. g ber ‘After the Ball.’ |g It is the tune theyL. played when we marched down San Juan. Hill.’”’ ' Thesongs and} marches to be com- piled for the President will be ar- ranged in chronological order, starting with the fife and drum arrangement of “Yankee Doodle,”’ which was practically all of music the Revolutionary soldiers had to make them feel like going out and killing somebody. Of the period covered by the war of 1812 the “Star Spangled Banner’’ will be the most nota- ble exhibit, Next in order of time will come “Ye Sons of Columbia, to Glory Arise,”’ which helped the United States Army to victory in the Mexican War. “Dixie” Included, Too. Songs written and sung during the Civil War will fill an entire room. In this group will be the real thrillers: “Marching Through Georgia,” ‘‘Tramp, Tramp, Tramp,” “Rally ’Round the Flag.’ ‘Just Before the Battle, Moth- er.”’ “Dixie” will not be omitted, though it was sung only in the ‘‘enemy’s coun- try’ in those days of strife. The Presi- dent thinks that since then {t has estab- lished itself as one of the national airs. Not all of the music collected will be martial. If at any time it is found that “The Bird on Nellie’s Hat” stirs sol- diers to deeds of bravery it, too, will be included in the collection.

Patrick Hare, brother of James 5. Hare, a city fireman who was killed in a saloon fight at 1029 Brooklyn street Saturday night, rose during the inquest in the office of the Coroner Monday and demanded why Edward Clark, the man who shot his brother, was at liberty. “TI want to know why Clark is walk- ing the street after killing my brother?” said Hare. “I suppose it is because he has been released on bond,’’ answered the Cor- oner. “This office has nothing to do with such matters. Proceed with the in- quest.’”’ “I want to say that my brother was murdered in cold blood,’’ protested Hare. Jury Justifies Clark. The inquest proceeded without further interruption and produced the unusual verdict of “‘justifiable homicide.’’ Testimony was offered to support the story that Hare entered the saloon and had started to quarrel. He had béen ordered out, but did not go. A truce followed, but it was broken when Hare and four men stepped to the bar and ordered drinks. Words took place between ‘Clark and Hare and the latter threw a heavy beer ‘‘schooner.”’ a glass with a thick glass bottom and eight inches high. It missed Clark’s head and smashed a-glass door in the icebox. Hare caught up another glass to throw when Clark shot him in the mouth. James Derwin and his son, James P. Derwin, both of 112 Howard § street; John W. Neil of 1126 Brooklyn street and John J. McDonnell, 919 Brooklyn street, testified to the quarrel and that Hare was ugly when in Hquor. Mrs. Mary Bucholdt of 118 Tyler street said she had gone into the saloon for whisky and had heard the men quarreling. Woman Hears Threats, Vulgar language was being used and as she hurried from the saloon she heard a@ man say: “Be still, there’s house.’’ “Wait till she gets out and then I'll finish it,’”’ she heard a man reply. This was followed by a crash and then a shot. Patrick Hare then interrupted the in- quest to accuse Clark of deliberately murdering his brother, and offered John Gallagher as a witness that Clark had threatened to kill his brother. But Gal- lagher said that he could not do So. REFUSE TO FIRE ON FLAG Ex-Confederates Keep Stars and Stripes Out of Sham Battle.

Knelt in Mock Worship and Fired as Victim Admin- istered Sacrament.

DENVER, Colo., Feb. 24.—In the 20 tenturies of history of the Catholic {hurch, members of its priesthood in this city declare, there is no record of & tragedy to parallel that of the killing of Father Leo while administering the sacrament to Guieseppe Guaranaccio at the altar of St. Elizabeth’s Church yes- terday morning. Never before has a servant of the thurch been summoned from the per- ormance of his duties in so tragic and dramatic a manner: The crime probably will result in the elevation of Father Leo to the position of martyr and lead to his canonization as one of the saints of the church. Father Eusebius, senior pastor of the St. Elizabeth Church, received a tele- fram last night from the Father Pro- vincial in Paterson, N. J., instructing jim to forward the body of Father Leo jo that city for interment. Father Euse- bius will accompany the body. Funeral services will be held at St. Wigabeth’s Church at 10 o’clock Wednes- day morning, when solemn requium high mass will be celebrated. Will Preach Against Anarchy. Father William O’Ryan, pastor of St. Leo’s Church, will deliver a sermon against anarchy and Socialism. The funeral services will be attended by 500 “members of the Knights of Columbus and the entire body of the Knights of St. John and other Catholic orders. It is a custom of the Franciscan or- der that no eulogies be preached for its deceased members, but on account of the tragic circumstances and the gen- eral effect in this cage upon the public, the rule will be set aside. Guieseppe Garanaccio, the murderer, talked freely in Jail concerning himself ’ and his act, for which he declared he had no regret. He said he was a native of Sicily, 56 years of age. He became a Socialist and Anarchist at 35 years

He also had many pages of anarchistic lit- erature in his own handwriting and on printed slips. Father Leo was killed Sunday while administering the sacrament at early mass. Guiseppa, in mock piety, knelt at the altar rail between the women, received the consecrated wafer from the monk’s hand, then pressed the muzzle of a re- volver against Father Leo's body and pulled the trigger. Crying “God, my God!” the priest, who was superior of the Franciscan or- der here, fell prone before the altar. His assistant priest knelt by him and administered the last sacrament.

In the parlance of thieves, Mrs. Emma Wilson is a ‘‘molly moll buzzer.’’ Though she denies that her operations in St. Louis have been extensive, her record is being investigated and it has ‘been found that she was arrested for shop- lifting in Chicago, but escaped convic- tion because of the unwillingness of wit- nesses to testify against her. Few Women Pickpockets. It has been years since a woman pick- pocket worked in St. Louis. It is a branch of crime which women seldom take up because it requires coolness and nerve with a practical certainty ef being caught sooner or later and _ sent to prison.

Thus far she has confessed only ‘to the crime for which she was arrested, She says she has been in St. Louis a month.

DOG POLICEMAN ENDS CAREER BY BITING REAL POLICEMAN Animal Shot When It Fails to Dis- tinguish Officer From Malefactor. The first official dog policeman of St. Louls came to grief yesterday ,when it attacked a, human policeman on the suspicion that he was a malefactor. Like the New York dog detectives, the watchdog of Driscoll & Krenger’s plumbing shop, 3705 Arsenal street, cou!d distinguish between thieves and honest men. The dog, a brindle bull, is now dead, while Sergt. John Driscol!] of the Magnolia avenue detail, is nurs- ing a badly lacerated finger. Sergt. Driscoll walked into the plumb- ing shop in the absence of his brother, one of the proprietors, who had left the dog on guard. The animal growled and when the Sergeant spoke to it, grabbed his finger and hung on. The officer fought the dog until his brother came in and pulled the animal's jaws apart. Then Sergt. Driscoll killed the dog, with his brother’s permission, and went to a surgeon to have his finger cauterized. CURED IN ONE DAY

For begging molasses from a grocery store to spread on bread that he had begged at back doors, William Yaeger was before Judge Kleiber in the Wyom- ing District Police Court Monday. He Was arrested last Friday, was in court Saturday, his case was continued until Monday and he was released without bond in the hope that he would leave the city and never come back. The Judge and court attaches were greatly surprised when he appeared for tria] Monday morning. He pleaded guilty. “Why were you begging molasses?’ the Judge asked him. “Well, Your Honor, this punk you get at back doors is pretty dry chewing.” Hard Times for Hobos. “What do you mean by punk?” the Judge asked. “Bread. The best a hobo can get these days is a handout and its always dry punk. Times are hard. We never get a set-down these times.”’ “A set-down?

So in treating the lagging, torpid liver it is ee great mistake to lash it with strong, drastic drugs. A torpid liver” is but an indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled body whose or gans are weary with over-work. Start with the stomach and all ~ organs of digestion and nutrition. Put them in working order nd see how quickly your liver will become active. Dr. Pieree’s Goldem ~ Medical Discovery has made many marvelous cures of ‘‘liver com. plaint,’’ or torpid liver, by its wonderful control over the digestion and nutrition. It restores the normal activity of the stor ach, increases the secretions of the blood-making glands, cleanses the system of poisonous accumulations, and so relieves the liver of © the burdens imposed upon it by the defection of other organs. =~ Symptoms. If you have bitter or oad taste in the morning, poor or vari- able appetite, coated tongue, foul breath, constipated or irregular bowels, feel weak, easily tired, despondent, fre- quent headaches, pain or distress in “small of the back,” distressed feeling in stomach, perhaps nausea, bitter or sour “risings” in throat after eating, and kindred symptoms of weak stom- ach and torpid liver, or biliousness, no medicine will relieve you more prompt- ly or cure you more permanently than Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. Perhaps only a part of the above symptoms will be present at one time and yet point to torpid liver, or bilious- ness and weak stomach. Avoid all hot bread and biscuits, griddle cakes and other indigestible food and take the “Golden Medical Discovery” regularly and stick to its use until you are vigorous and strong. Of Golden Seal root, which is one of the prominent ingredients of “Golden Medical Discovery,” Dr. Robert Barth- olow, of Jefferson Medical College, says: “Very -useful as a stomachic (stomach) tonic and in atonic dyspep- sia. Cures gastric (stomach) catarrh and headaches accompanying same.” Dr. Grover Coe, of New. York, says: “Hydrastis (Golden Seal root) exercises an especial influence over mucous sur- faces. Upon the liver it acts with equal] certainty and efficacy. As a cholagogue (liver invigorator) it has few equals.” Dr. Coe also advises it for all stomach affections, indigestion, debility, consti- pation, also in several affections pecu- liar to women, and in all chronic de- rangements of the liver, also for chron‘c inflammation of bladder, for which Dr. Coe says “it is one of the most reliable agents of cure.” Prof. John King, M. D., late of Cin- cinnati, author of the American Dispen- satory, gives it a prominent place among medicinal agents, reiterates all the foregoing writers have said about it, as does also Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of Cincinnati. Dr. Scudder says: “It stimulates the digestive pro- cesses and increases the assimilation of food. By these means the blood is enriched. .* * * * the consequent im- provement on the glandular and nerv- ous systems are natural results.” Dr, Scudder further says, “in relation to its general effect upom the system, there is no medicine in use about which there is such general unanimity of opinion It is universally regarded as the tonic useful in all debilitated states.****”

It is related of a popular uprising in a small tcwn against a worthless character that as the crowd was hurrying him to the railroad station intent upon shipping him away, a_ bystander shouted, “Don’t throw him into the horse pond!” and that is exactly what was done with him. It is to be hoped that the President’s letter to the Interstate Commerce Commission telling rail- read companies that they will reg@pce wages at their peril will not have the effect of suggesting such a policy in places where it had not been so much as considered. When the President of the United States in- teighs against wage reductions that have not taken place he may start something as he did in _ Wall street. Ase & 7 °F BREWERS AND THEIR ADVOCATES. It is“announced as something entirely new that the brewers of the West are about to subscribe -.a large sum of money for the purpose of carrying on an energetic campaign against prohibition. This will be hailed with delight by many pur- chasable newspapers and by a large number of writers and orators Whose services may be had for a consideration, but all these have been in the em- ploy of the brewers for many a day. If the so-called new movement merely contem- plates disbursing more money for these purposes it is much more likely to extend than it is to re- strict dry territory. The beer business is affected almost as injuriously by its advocates as it is by its assailants, and that is one of the principal rea- sons why in a pitched battle it so frequently loses. Not much that has been written or spoken in behalf of the saloon business, which is really the issue in most places, has had the results intended. If that occupation has impressed itself upon the. people in such a mc:iner as to gain their ill will ‘the brewers themselves are largely to blame, for they have controlled most of the saloons. The whole scheme of brewery-owned and brew- ery-controlled saloons is offensive to most men and no amount of purchased argumentation will change that opinion. r= = * a a HUGHES ADDRESSES ROOSEVELT. In the course of his admirable Washington's birthday speech Gov. Hughes laid down five sound > propositions: 1, Pessimisis and eynics cannot develop this country. 2, Let us dismiss vague alarms and go forward with confidence in the tnteg- rity and destiny of the American people. 3. The way to get rid of abuses ts to at- tack them directly, and I believe the most efficacious means is definition and proscrip- tion, and adequate punishment of offenders. Punishment ts most salutary when it 1s vts- ited upon guilty individuals. 4. Special interests must keep their hands off the Government in City, State and Nation. 5. We should not expect from the Nation what the States alone can give. There are on file in Washington several hundred regular and special messages which, all told, do not contain as much good sense as these few brief paragraphs. We have some great rascals here, but we are not a nation of scoundrels or mollycoddles. We have had enough of vague alarms and presidential muckraking. The malefactors of great wealth are known. Why are they not prosecuted and punished? The “interests” which contributed to the Harriman-Roosevelt campaign fund must siand aside. Under our system any attempt at reform by national “constructive jurisprudence” ‘cannot fail to precipitate chaos. Gov. Hughes did not in this instance mention the President of the United States and his “‘poli- cies” but he had him and them in mind clearly "= vv PREPARING FOR A GREAT ABDUCTION. While in his formal utterances on the subject Mr. Bryan is only passively a candidate—willing _ to be drafted or forced to run, as it were—he _ nevertheless insists that delegations to the Denver convention be instructed to vote for him as a unit. In a Democratic national convention such in- structions mean a great deal. They are enforced, even against the protests of strong minorities. Under the circumstances the vote of a State might as well be transmitted by a messenger boy. The delegates are mere dummies. Their chairman speaks for them on all occasions. For a man who cannot be persuaded to be a candidate except as the members of his party shall tear his clothing and virtually kidnap him, Mr. Bryan seems to be making his plans for the ab- auction with great deliberation. is > — a a. It is understood that E. H. Harriman will be a delegate to the Republican national convention from one of the New York districts. Things did not go exactly to his tdste the last time, and it Jat is believed, that all of the principals will be pres- sont this year, anyway. = ‘The textile industries are well protected by the tarift.

Is it modesty, is it timidity, is 1t lack of am- bition or is {t devotion to another which keeps men like Gov. Johnson of Minnesota and Gov. Folk of Missouri out of the presidential lists? Both of these men are now and for some years have been’in positions to cherish aspirations to the presidency. They are gdvernors of great and influential states. They have excellent records. They are young. They have been remarkably suc- cessful at the polls and in office. According to all the experience of the past they might be ex- pected to entertain perfectly legitimate ambitions for promotion. Like nearly everything else worth having in this world, presidential honors must be sought diligently. In spite of all our fine-spun theorizing, office does not commonly seek the man. The most deserving of our presidential candidates have been receptive if not aggressive. As time passes it is becoming less and less probable that anybody will be dragged by main force into the White House. In view of the natural and laudable desire of most men to achieve power and fame, it might be supposed that an assumption by one man of the right to monopolize the presidential honors of a great party would in itself provoke resentment, create antagonisms and excite rivalries. Such a spirit is visible in every field except Democratic politics. Why should it be missing there? There is not now and there has not been at any time since 1896 any such spontaneous ,popu- lar demand for a certain candidate as he and his friends would have us believe. Mr. Bryan is strong with an element of his party, it is true, but he is strong with the party because the prac- tical politicians favor him and they favor him lenguidly because no one else is in view. Two-thirds of the indorsements and much of the hurrahing in the interest of this gentleman are purely mechanical. They proceed from ma- chine politicians without heart in their work and incapable of devising or adopting any other pol- icy. Regularity is the only aim. If no other can- didate presents himself it is plain enough that the one who always appears must be the leader. Other parties have suffered to some extent from these conditions, but not to the extent that the Democratic party has been afflicted. In the days of his greatest popularity Henry Clay was not unopposed in the Whig party, and when James G. Blaine was most powerful the antagon- ism to him in the Republican party was most pronounced. Neither of these men undertook, however, as Mr. Bryan does, to write his party’s platforms, to dictate its minations, to regulate its commit- teas, to as its domestic affairs and to expel and anathematize members objectionable to him- self. Neither of them gave himself the airs of a perpetual candidate, viewing jealously any other aspirant and endeavoring to crush him by insinu- ation or open attack in advance of conventions. Neither of them, in a word, claimed to embody the party in his own person, and neither ever en- tertained the idea that criticism of himself was treason to the party. It may be that men like Gov. Johnson and Gov. Folk hesitate to assail this form of party ceasar- ism, believing that the Bryan vendetta would re- sent at the polls the nomination of any other cendidate. They know the seasons when to take occasion by the hand as well as anybody does. Is it true of them, as it probably is of others, that they look upon the Bryan incubus as invincible end are biding their time?” If so they are likely to wait in vain. The aggression, the ambition, the selfishness, the dom- ireering purposes of the man who now has the Democratic party by the throat will not cure themselves. There must be a fight fog party in- tegrity and for personal rights within the party. Not one man, but several men, must lead in this struggle. It must be a movement not so much in rostility to Mr. Bryan, for in a proper state of party spirit he would not be profoundly consid- ered, as in support of the organization's independ- ence and capacity for usefulness. ff the Democratic party has no higher purpose than to follow blindly in the trail of one unsuc- cessful man, making itself useful to him rather than to the republic, its disintegration is at hand. a, A ade _ =e THE WOMAN WHO WAS WANTED. The relative honesty of men and women i& often discussed. It is well known that women are more honest than men. One day last week a man got out a police cir cular saying that a woman, who was carefully described, was wanted. The woman immediately appeared at the station and demanded an expla- nation. A man similarly indicated probably would have-Bidden until nightfall and then taken a train for Oklahoma or Arizona. It turned out, in this case, that the woman was innocent, but it was like a woman, on discovering that the police weré looking for her, to hunt up the police and insist upon a retraction. Conscience may make cowards of men, but it does not work that way with women. & i> — a oe Hitchcock relieves a great strain by his decla- ration that Taft is just as good as elected.

Any information will be greatly appre- ciated. BACHELOR GIRLS. . Cheaper Than Horses. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

It seems that the human worker has done his best to make a horse of \himself, but has fallen short to the extent of $3 a day. GEORGE B. CROSS, 4554 Cottage. Neglected Poor. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Seeing in the Post-Dispatch Attorney Sager'’s request that the poor, unfortunate cripple be removed be- cause of his unsightly appearance, the cry from my soul is: Oh, why do we dare boast of our Christian land, when we as a people allow one of our fellow beings to suffer in the cold as that poor man does trying to maintain himself. I have looked at that poor man and wondered where our charity begins or ends. I only hope something will be done to relieve that poor man’s pitiable condition.. ONE WHO SYMPATHIZES. The Cause of Intemperance. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. While the prohibition question is up it would be well to consider and discuss the claims of some em- inent students of social problems that there is more drunkenness caused by poverty and hopelessness than the reverse. If this be true, it seems to me it is our nearest duty to study the causes of poverty and find a remedy. A wise doctor tries to get to the roots of physical distase and we should try to get to the roots of social ills. In any case ‘the truth don’t fear full discussion and sco-called prohibition should be thoroughly discussed before passing uncon- stitutional laws that interfere too much with indi- vidual liberty. CELTIC-AMERICAN. A Woman Observes. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The average person seems to forget that the mem- bers of the House of Delegates are not dependent upon this salary of $25 per month for a livelihood. Their days are spent in their legitimate business (principally that of saloon keeper, is it not?) and what they are paid for the two nights a week they consent to serve for the good of the public, fs a kind of bonus itself. Along with it, they have cigars and refreshments in their committee rooms, with Car- rlages and automobiles at $% an hour or so at their command, when they desire to “inspect,” immunity from prosecution as lawbreakers, and, no doubt, many perquisites unknown to the genera! public. A WOMAN WHO OBSERVES. The Old Chouteau Car. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In reference to Mr. McCulloch’s request for ‘‘sug- gestions’’ as to improvements of the street car serv- ice, I would like to suggest that he put back on the line the old Chouteau cars. If not, why can’t he run either Southampton, Meramec Highlands or Manches- ter cars east on Chouteau to Fourth? It seems un- necessary to run all three of these cars over the Twenty-first street bridge, and it would certainly be a great accommodation to havé one of them run east to Fourth. Residents of West Chouteau and vicini- ty working in South St. Louis have to ride uptown to make southerly connections, and it’s not very pleas- ant to walk from Twenty-first and Chouteau to the neighborhood east of Grattan and south of Chouteau. J. Cc. ¥. The Garbage Contract. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am in the contracting business, and am compelled to give bond for the proper completion of any con- tract which I may, undertake; if I cannot carry out my contract the owner is entitled to the amounf of my bond, which is given for that reason, i. e., to protect the owner in case the contractor cannot live p to the agreements of his contract, and to prevent loss to the owner in case the contract is too large for the contractor to handle. Therefore, why should the B. P. I. hold up ‘the bid of the Standard com- pany? If they are willing to give a bond for the proper performance of their contract. If I should underbid several of my competitors for any job (and the prices quoted vary from $10,000 to $20,000 differ- ence of some jobs) do you think the owner is going to throw out my bid because it is too cheap? He will award the contract to me at my figure and com- pel me to give @ suitable bond that I can carry out the contract; he is protected and does not worry whether or not I make or lose money, not on your life. R. C. G. The 16 to 1 Controversy. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In vour issue of the 19th, Mr. Kldcr concludes that the Government cannot, by legislation, fix the value of the silver dollar. If Mr. Elder will read the act of 1873 which demonetized silver, and also read the market quotations of silver at the time, he will see that the silver dollar was worth 8 cents more than the gold dollar, and that the relative value of silver and gold had continuously existed at about that rate for #0 years prior to that act of Congress, excepting the years 1813 and 1814, when the English bankers had a little corner on gold, as against their Own countrymen, Europe and America, and owing to the condition of War Waged at that time. Silver was struck down by Congress in order to double the wealth of the bondholder, and double the poverty of the bond payer, by making It twice as hard to pay the bonds in gold alone as it would have been in silver and gold both, and Congress succeeded in its job and further, to the destruction of our great sil- yer mines. The same Congress might have done it, i asked at the time, in the same way, by the White Pine Trust, to prohibit the use of yellow pine in puilding ships, houses, railroad cars, ett., and what would have become of the hard pine trade?

Sensible suggestions are usually re- ceived with hooting, but a Galliteo or a Columbus of.-the—true—mettle will not for that redson forever hold his tongue. The city of St. Louis needs a wash- ing. If it is not the dirtiest city in the world, it is a formidable competitor for that distinction. The washed zone of the City Hall is reddish granite; the unwashed zone is apparently coal tar. The main architectural displays in the city are so filled with dirt as to pre sent a smooth surface where the mason got in his fine hand-tooling and bush-Hammering. The general down- town effect is that of a city built of a dark pumice stone. In the dry season the winds of the Arizona desert cov.r the scenery of the Grand Canyon of.the Colorado River with a gray dust. This dust dims the color scheme, and to see the Canyon at that season is never to dream of its beauties. When the snow melts and the rains fall, the Canyon is washed perfectly clean. That is when it is beautiful. stone- Couldn't we learn something from MISS LONE LY WALTZES A MAN THE HORRORS OF PEACE.

GEORGIE STEPS ASIDE ——— —_——-——_—-— The Story of a Peach That Might Have Made a Little Boy Written for the Post-Dispatch BY IVAN WHIN. It.

a : HERE was something familiar in the pose of the figure, but when, having lighted his cigar, he kicked the match with the third finger, sending it spinning into the air, I touched his _phoulder, shouting, ‘‘Hello, Jake!” He turned slowly—Jake's way—and looked me over just as Jake will do to his most intimate friend. But it wasn’t Jake at all. The lines from the nostrils were drawn deep in imitation of Jake's affected symbol of cynicism and the eye- brows were lifted in affectation of shocked surprise that is Jake's habit: but the face was the face of Georgie Simpson. I shouted my laughter. For Georgie, you must know, is a protege of Jake England, who is rich enough to be cynical, have mannerisms and proteges. Georgie appeared in our world as a peddier of poultry, eggs, butter, etc. He was rosy, plump, eager to do business, obliging, persistent. Mrs, Efigiand, for all her wealth, looks after the larder. Jake is not s0 cynical and blase as he tries to appear, and: he, too, takes a | deep interest in the provisioning of his household. Why, the Englands have been ‘geen with a basket searching Union “Market for good things to eat and often the basket goes to other homes than their own. They soon became good friends with Geeorgie, as well as excellent custom- ‘ers. Naturally Georgie thought the Englands the very finest people. Jessie, the tiny, pretty spitfire parlor maid, looked with favoring eyes on Georgie. And they were married. ' ‘The Englands furnished their flat. Jake completed an office bullding later and looked about for a manager, but no ' offers satisfied him. His thought turn- ed to Georgie, who grabbed the chance. Though Engiand thought the salary ‘paid for such work was small, Georgie thought it great enough to justify as i : — ™ hours’ work a day as he could

right, and equally of course she was wrong. But there Georgie stood on the back platform of a Delmar car puffing a long, black cigar—or a fat, brown one— a replica of Jake, who was at that mo- ment some three or four thousand miles away doing Europe for the steenth time. “How's the building?’ functorily. Georgie bit hard on his cigar, frown- ed, took the cigar from his teeth and looked at it—I've seen Jake do it mil- lions of times—replaced the cigar and said—Jake’s word—‘‘Right.”’ “Rooms all rented?’ “Every one'’—he looked down upon me in spirit if not physically—‘‘and on long lease.”’ I asked per- impossible.

There is little excuse for the girl who marries a bad tem- pered man. Usually The man who kicks his dog possibly may his faults are obvious. II temper, like murder, will out. end by beating his wife.

Her nose was a trifle too big. Her lips a trifie too full. Her big blue eyes projected a trifle too much. Her cloth- ing was accentuated by the latest mode. ; “Stenog. for Hayes, & Hudgins,’’ Georgie “A pretty handful man,” I said. “Oh, it’s all right. Just good friends. Why. Jessie knows her.” I am not my brother's keeper. The job has no charm for me and I don't think Moses or whoever did write the story of Cain and Abel, ever expected Cain’s evasion would be applied by pres- ent-day moralists to the condemnation of me. However, my reasoning is that it is better to let a man gang his own way than to meddle. Georgie ganged all right. He lunched with Miss Meadows every day and be- cause she had to get back-to work the lunches were hurried. He dined with her often and they were seen at thea- ters and at restaurants later. In some respects St. Louis is small. If you doubt it, gang a bit pace and see if your friends do not penetrate all your devices for concealment. We gos. sip in St. Louis, though less perhaps than in Kansas City. I found that in truth Jessle did know Miss Meadows, having met her in Georgie’s office, but she saw with the keen eve of a woman and did not like her. ‘‘She'd better let Georgie alone or I'll scratch her eyes out,’ Jessie re- marked. I met Georgie in his building and asked if he had found a better buyer for his waste paper. “Same company raised me 2 per cent,”” he said with a cunning smile. “Good business.”’ Again Miss Meadows approached us and again I was introduced. She fa- vored me with a smile. I said the in- troduction was unnecessary, for her beauty had made a deep impression upon me. Beastly taste, wasn’t it? But she beamed upon me and said: “O, real- ly,” and I said—ngh, what a lot of rot I did say. I took her to lunch. Queer Hungarian street. “How Bohemian!” she exclaimed, 9% plus times.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children, The Kind You Have Always Boughi Bears the Signature of

Beating Wives and Children. Coincident With Roos Wavings. Written for the Post-Dispatch BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH.

NEW YORK man. was tried for horsewhipping his A mother-in-law. A Pennsylvania man has just been arrested for beating his wife with a machine he had invented for that delectable purpose. Many teachers| in public schools have placed themselves on record 4s favoring the ‘restoration of whipping in the schools. From all sides the reign of “moral suasion” seems to be threatened. The wielding of the big stick at Washington and the sudden.revival of little sticks in the home and the school may be a mere coincidence. But whatever the cause, this reversion to brute force is to be deplored. In this age, of course, wife-beating cannot be consid- ered seriously. For women are today so well protected by the law that any wife who endures indignity or abuse has only her own weakness or fYoolishness to blame. 6 The other day I visited an apartment house in purseu:t of an While I was waiting for an answer to my ring a man and a woman, e tenants of the place, began to move a perambulator, containing a wide-ey baby, up the steps, the woman backing up the «teps against the door whieh I held open for her, and as they moved up the steps, the man, a middl meek-appearing clerk, addressed his wife in this wise: “You blank, blank, didn’t I tell you fiever to go out with that woman? You know blank—well I won't stand for that.” * 1 The wife, frightened, frowsy, with yellow feathers drooping over disc hair, made no reply, and together they continued to moveetheir child into 4 inner doorway opened by a maid servant.

CLIMATE AGAINST ORATORY. From the New York Telegraph, One thing about Denver we have over- looked, and It's gratifying to recall it. There cannot be much oratory in the Centennial State's metropolis because the climate ig against it. Denver is just a mile above the level of the sea, and it rejoices us to hear from a scien- tific friend of ours that when an out- sider starts on a long-winded speech he loses his breath in about five minutes and has to put in the next five hours catching it. When Denver was chosen as the place for the Democratic’ Convention we said a lot of things against it; we said’ it was too small, too far away, and made other criticisms. We take all of them back. Denver is a good place for a convention. There will be no frothy speeches of the kind that Bryan de- livers—the speeches that empty-headed folk admire so much.

OPENING PRICE OW WALL ST. SHOW LOSSES , al Initial-Recessions Are Followed by Gains in Early Trading.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 10 a. m.—Fol- lowing a weak market for American securities in London, the Stock Ex- change opened this morning with small fractional deciines from Friday’s clos- ing. About one-quarter of a_ point would cover the average difference. Several prominent stocks opened at ark among them being Anaconda, B. Saal Great Northern and Northern Pacifi fic. St. Paul, which was one of the last is- sues on the list to open, started with a gain of ™% over its closing. This was the only exception to the initial de- clines, The Harriman stocks were fairly pera. and opened about % below par- t y. ‘All the industrials showed reces- sions in their opening sales, but in the first half hour, there was an average es of 1 point in Smelting and malgamated Copper. The steel stocks were very dull, and hardly moved from their opening figures. In the first 15 minutes of trading the rail issues developed = strength, and most of them made substantial advances. Northern Pacific, Pennsyl- ‘Vania and Union Pacific gained % each, und Reading was 1 point’ up. Delaware and Hudson slumped a point and Missouri Pacific was inac- tive and unchanged at the end of half an hour. American Sugar was stronger. NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 12:30 p. m.— There was a general advance in prices during the forenoon hours. The copper stocks were in especial demand, with Smelting leading the advance with a guin from the opening of 1% points. ' Anaconda and Amalgamated were each 1 point higher, -while National Lead moved forward one point. West- -ern Union was inactive, but higher. The steels were the only stocks in the in- dustrial division that failed to record a gain, the common being at parity and the preferred % lower at noon. Great Northern and Reading did best of the rails during the forenoon,- each issue gaining a point. Missouri Pacific was stagnant, with only a few sales, and unchanged from opening. The Harriman stoc ks were in fair de- mand and % higher. Other issues gained from % te % point. Short Time Corporation 5 4 Reported daily by D.

Two days’ cessation from business had, apparently, no vitalizing effect on trading at the first session of the St. Louis Stock Exchange Monday. Sales were limited to $4000 of Railway 48 and F shares of Railways common, at prices which showed no variation from the pre- vailing quotations of Friday. Railways preferred was markedly in- active, but it was more firmly held than during the last week, and the bidding was higher than it has been for many days. The miscellaneous list was neglected.
