As soon as the United States was tied up at her pier, an iron box containing Dr. Cook’s report and the diaries in which his original entries were made was brought ashore.

neither active nor open, Senator Warten, - Gov. Hadley, Chair- man Dickey of the State Committee and Homer: Mann of Kansas City have been friendly. to Kerens. During his visit here a few days ago Senater Warner declared most emphati- cally that Kerens would recéive the Aus- trian ambassadorship. At the same-time he denied that he was supporting Ker- ens for the place because of a fear that Kerens might enter the senatorial race against him. Kerens’ Contributions Wanted. Warner's friendship for Kerens is as- cribed to the belief that unless somte- thing is done for Kerens in the way of giving him substantial public honors there will be no Kerens contribution in the Missouri campaign next year. In the 1908 campaign Kerens gave the State Committee $15,000 and spent an additional $60,000 in a hopeless effort to capture the Republican nomination for Senator. Secretary Nagel and other. Republican leaders have not forgiven Kerens since he bolted the nomination of Thomas K. Niedringhaus for Senator at the 1905 serysion of the State Legislature. At that time Kerens’ lieutenants = started the movement which resulted in the election of Warner as a compromise candidate.

In his investigations of rates levied by railroads on passengers and freight en- tering or leaving cities situated on rivers as St. Louis ts, Councilman Schutz says he was unable to find an “arbitrary” corresponding to that imposed by the Terminal Railroad Association. Obtained the Rates. “T obtained rates and fares collected by railroads entering Cincinnati, for in- s.iance,”’ Mr. Schutz said. ‘‘In each case I was sure to get the different charges on like commodities by the hundred weight, and for distances approximating some of those within the so-called 100- mile radius around St. Louis. “The figures corroborate my conten- tion that there is no arbitrary charge for crossing a river, either in the case or freight or passengers. In Cincinnati, as in St. Louis, the rate included deliv- ery at the depot of the carrier. The service, therefore, is the same in Cin- cinnati, for example, as that given by the Terminal Association in St. Louis. “T am thoroughly convinced that the arbitraries collected by the Terminal Association are unnecessary and unjust. I feel equally confident that a firm stand on the part.of the Mayor and tne Municipal Assembly will bring about the removal of such unreasonable tolls.”’ KING LEOPOLD IS VERY ILL LONDON, Dec. 8.—Private advices re- ceived here today from Brussels state that King Leopold of Belgium is in a grave physical condition. He is said to have suffered a paralytic stroke tas*t Friday and a second stroke on Monday. These, were followed by pulmonary

trouble.

| Many of the House of Delegates Members Re- fuse to Commit Themselves Until They Learn More About the Problem. “Are you in favor of upholding Councilman Schuts’s position that all bridge arbitraries must be abolished by the Terminal company before the city considers any compromise with the company for vacating certain streets for its use?” The above question was put to mem- bers of the Municipal Assembly by Post- Dispatch reporters. w»ollowing are the views of members of the City Council: President Gundlach: The conferees from the Council have stood together ail along. ‘Does that taean that you will supP- port Mr. Schutz?” “You can draw your own conclusions. The answer is easy.”’ Councilman Davis: Yes, I favor Mr. Schutz’s position and shall support him. Counciiman Espenschied: I think a majority of the Council is with Mr. Schutz. He certainly can count on me. Counciiman Lehmberg: I am one who will join Mr. Schutz in his demand for the abolition of all the arbitraries as a consideration for the vacation of streets in the Ranken tract. Councilman Crunden: If Mr. Schutz can bring about a removal of the arbi- traries he. will be a great benefactor of the city. If he fails we shall be no worse off than we are now. I intend to give him my best help. Councilman Norvell: The arbi- traries on freight and passengers ought to be eliminated. I'll give Mr. Schutz r--" vote. CounciIman Schneiderhaha: of course I’m for the abolition of the arbi- traries. Tne railroads in the Terminal Association combine to reduce expenses, succeed in their purpose, and then as- sess a heavy tll on traffic. I'll give Mr. Schutz my active assistance. Councilanan Fitzsimmons: Off hand I think I shall vote with Mr. Schutz. His policy is the one I have always advocated. A full discussion with him will only cohfirm my present opinion, I think.

Councilman Evers: Not only do I favor the abolition of the arbitraries, but I believe also that the Terminal Association ought to be compelled to keep all its agreements with the city. That is what any other corporation or individuai would be made to do. CounciIiman Hauschulte: I have not considered the question. I should like more time for inquiry before taking a decisive course. Councilman Drew: I concur in Mr. Schutz’s belief that the arbitraries are not defensible, but I doubt the wisdom of his method of abolishing them. The Terininals Commission has asked to be allowed to deal with the railroads on the subject and I think the negotiations will be as successful as were those which resulted in the removal of the arbitraries on freight bound to and from points beyond the 100-mile radius. Mr. Drew was not always such a stanch advocate of the Terminals Com- mission. When it was first established he attended one of its meetings to take part in its deliberations, but was denied a hearing by Mayor Wells, then chair- man, This is the way members of the House of Delegates desire to be re- corded: Delegate Hamilton: If not confis- catory, it would be well to remove the arbitraries. I should like to have some information, however, as to whether the Terminal’s charges are merely earnings or excessive and unnecessary tolls. Delegate Jacobs: Certainly the de- mand for the abolition of all arbitraries ought to be made, but can the Terminal! do busines without some such charge? I haven’t attended any of the confer- ences and haven’t heard the arguments of either side. Delegate Hilkerbaumer: I think the abolition of the freight and passenger arbitraries is most vital, but if we need additional terminal facilities. and in- sistence on Mr. Schutz’s demand will de- lay them, I'll be willing to waive the question for the present in favor of more conveniences. Delegate Gallagher: I don’t believe in running the Terminal or any other big industry out of town. I don’t want to be unfair to the Terminal. Let the Terminals Commission handle the ques- , tion. That’s what it is for. Delegate Soy: Anything to put St. Louis on the map. Let the arbitraries zo. Delegate Brennan: How do you ex- pect me to know anything about it? Mr. Schutz never talked to me, and I’ve never had anything to do with the con- ferences. Delegate Golden: I don’t feel like taking the responsibility from the Re- publican administration. Delegnte Koch: I’m of the opinion that insistence on the abolition of the arbitraries at this time would delay the] establishment of better terminals. While I believe what Mr. Schutz wants ought to be done, at the same time I think it can be accomplished later by the Ter- minals Commission. Delegate Michel: I don't care to express myself now. I want more in- formation than I have received thus far. I haven’t heard both sides. Delegate Russell: I don’t favor Mr. Schutz’s demands, principally because I think his is the wrong way to go about it. More terminals are needed immediately and the adjustment of rates will require two years. I don’t believe an increase of facilities ought to wait that long. Delegate Igoe: If the charges can be abolished that should be done. St. Louls should not have to ask the Ter- minal Association to keep its pledges after they are made. The company ought to do what it promises. Delegate Holliday: What Mr. Schutz wants is very desirable, but it should not be made a condition of the elimination of grade crossings. We should not be brought to a deadlock on this question and delay the abolition of grade crossings. Delegate Duing: Mr. Schutz is right. The arbitraries are unfair. I say that as a receiver of freight. I am with Mr. Schutz. Speaker Pro Tem Taussig: I should like to see the bridge arbitrary removed, but I am prepared to grant the Ter- minal Association the use of the Ran- ken tract without demanding that. Delegate Oheim: I am not sure T understand the. matter fully; and until I have an opportunity to investigate it, I must decline to express an opinion. Delegate Buder: I agree with Councilman Schutz. I believe the Ter- minal should be required to take off the entire bridge arbitrary before the city should grant it anything. Delegate Eigel: I am not informed on the subject and will not commit myself now. The Terminal has never kept any of its promises to the city, and care should be taken in dealing with it. The city certainly ought to get some- thing if it vacates streets forthe Ter- minal. The bridge arbitrary has been like a millstone about the People’s necks for many years. Delegate Speitel: I thoroughly in- dorse Mr. Schutz’s idea, Delegate Chapman: I favor break- ing the arbitrary, but don’t know just what plan should be followed. The city needs to have the arbitrary done away with, but it also needs increased terminal facilities. It is a question in my mind if we should insist on one and possibly lose both. I wij) Play my strings to abolish the arbitrary, how- ever. Delegate Gregory: I don't - : want to Delegate Walker: The city ought to be well paid for its streets, put 1 “Bio not looked into this proposition.

Have you heard about Glad and how she has made men and women the laet two nights at the Garrick Theater cry—cry openly? You will wonder when you learn w! sel.es—the tears came fast. the East End slums of London. This is just what we want you to do. Forget yourself, forget your sorrows, difficulties and annoyances, and help us make others happy on Christmas day. It will bring you a happiness that will clear the skies above you in a magical way. If you don’t believe this, see the “Dawn of a Tomorrow.” Sought Slums to End Life. , Sir Oliver Holt in the play wag. just such a sort of man as many of you. He was rich, respected and with noth- ing in the world for a sane man to worry about. But like men of business who imagine they. are doing-such extraordi~. nary work that their nerves will col- lapse’ and talk of rest cures and going away; this man, thinking so continually, so selfishly of himself, came toa imagine that his reason was slipping from him. He went much further than any of you. He determined to end his life. This great man of London disguised himself and went to the slums of Lon- don to die like a rat. He had never been in the East End of London before. He imagined that the only things he would find there would be poverty and vice. Because, like many of you,’ what he had given in charity had been given in checks sent to others, he knew nothing. of the poorm he had helped in this way, or rather tried to help. He found vice in Apple Blossom Court and poverty, but he found other things besides. He found Glad with. the heart of a child, as cleai. and fine as if she lived where tie fields are green and sunshine is always bright. And he learned that this childlwoman of the slums had a wonderful belief that in tomorrow's promise lies the reason for pushing away from you the sorrows of today. Awakened by “Glad.” Glad was trying to push away the greatest sorrow that could come to her. She was fighting with a wonderful courage against the wretched condi- tions of her life which threatened to send her over the boundaries of sin. And yet, in the midst of her trouble, she stopped to give courage to this great man of London, told him that his mis- ery was of his own making, that it was all inside. And Sir Oliver Holt, surprised into interest, became absorbed in. the life of Glad, in the life of her frineds in the slums, in the fate of her lover who was hounded, unjustly,. by the police. And when Gilad said, ‘““Why don’t they. give him a chance? He ain’t never had a CTiance,”’ you don’t wonder any. more at the wonderful transformation thai comes over the great man London. He had never realized before that, down in the slums men and women Want to live, and want to be happy, ; and he had never realized before that what they want down there, more than money, more then clothes or food, is the understanding and the sympathy of others.

The Terminal heard something drop, but it = = — ee LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Should a censorship of plays be established in St. Louis, and how? The Post-Dispatch opens its columns to a discussion of this question, suggested by Rev. J. Layton Mauze, who takes the affirmative. Letters should not exceed 150 words.

Use the River! To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. This is almost the middle of the season of low water in the river, yet there has never been less than nine to ten feet all the way down the Gulf in the Channel. Fora considerable period much more; and today the advocates of “14 feet through the valiey”’ pcttlen ae» ahs sis He cecal qumpmesmemmectenen — ~ SA Re wer SERENE _ T. HE DESERT.

except in ‘St. Louis do railroads collect special charges for service on their terminals. Nowhere else do they charge tolls on their bridges. The St. Louis riilroads ought to have ample facilities for handling the city’s traffic. The city should give them all the privileges they need for traffic purposes. They should be granted on fair terms. But the roads should be fair to St. Louis, They suould not discriminate against the city. They should not place special burdens on the city’s business. Ttey should not use tie privileges given them by the city to hamper the manufacturing and commercial) activities of St. Louis and to place St. Louisans at a disadvan- tage in business competition. Every vestige of the bridge and terminal folls must go. The railroads admit they are unjust. They are obsolete relics of mossback graft. They stand in the way of commercial growth and block the path to a good understanding and full co-operation between the city and the roads. Their abolition woule be the signal for the fullest development of railroad facilities. It would be a wise and profitable act. can claim to have dug it through “Dixie’’ with the Taft nautical dredge boat last month. Now, why in the name of common sense and consistency, don’t ’ they use the river as God made it? Why wait?\ Are the river and the free bridge still under railroad con- trol? R. F. H. desires that the deficit occasioned by the Repub- lican tariff and Republican extravagance should be met and remedied by the Democratic policy of retrenchment and economy rather than by the Republican practice of increasing taxation; that he wishes Congress to fulfill the pledge to estab- lish ‘postal savings banks; that he seeks a .com- prehensive reform of the procedure of the courts 80 as to lessen the cost in money: and in time now required for litigation; and that he asks for revision of the present injunction laws. All of these things, with several others of like. na- ture, are excellent enough, but they are present- ed as subjects for academic discussion rather ‘than as political and legal issues of vast. im-: port to the country, requiring immediate atten- tion. For the Sake of the Young. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. _ Any man or woman ought :to be versed well enough in common decency to be able to judge whether or not a play is injurious; consequently one would nat- urally say, let every man judge for himself. But the fact remains that thousands of minors attend shows who cannot judge, therefore it is necessary to have a censorship. The fault lies with the men and wom- en who patronize shows; they should boycott every show that has anything in it that they would not allow in their own homes. The principal fault lies in our city administration. The city has a right to say what show and what kind af a show shall be produced at any playhouse before granting a permit. To take innocent boys or girls who have pretty faces and good voices and train them to go through filthy performances is abominable. (My voice for our boys and girls.) — THEODORE A. TREIBER.

Pérhaps the best illustration of the ieinawal weaknheds of the message is to be found in the \passage in which the President discusses the rise ‘$n the cost of living. That passage is at any ‘Yate typical of the President's attitude toward ‘the condition of the country, and of the peculiar | way in which he undertakes the task of making. es special partisan plea in evasion of universally ‘recognized truths. Concerning that ‘ubject, ‘which more than any other concerns: the work- ingmen.gf the country, the President says: . “Verlous reasons are given for the high prices. ‘The proportionate increase in the output of gold. ‘which today is the chief medium of exchange and “4a in some respects a measure of value, furnishes ‘a substantial explanation of at least part of the . increase in prices. The increase in population vand the more expensive mode of living of the ‘people, which have not been accompanied by a i increase in acreage production, may urnish a further reason.” ' Such statements made in the face of the cur- revelations of the rise in prices following enactment of the Payne tariff, and further made in the courts and elsewhere of rmous profits exacted by protected industries giant trusts that control so many of the nec- es of life, will, in a large measure disap- t public expectations of the President’s fair- . They show an inclination on his part to ndone, and as far as ppssible conceal, the evils t harass our domestic industries. If the ex-

Higa Cost of Inspection. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It looks like this town is cursed with too much inspection. To make it plain, here comes along an inspector to see that your sheets are nine feet long; you give him $. I am keeping a small rooming house for housekeeping people. _My house has 11 rooms, three stories and cellar. Here comes along another inspector and tells me [ must put in four fire extinguishers—one in the cellar... If 1 have to do this I will have to quit, for it is h-rd as it is to make both ends meet and keep my three cnildren in food and clothing. There are any rumber of poor women situated like myself whoare going out of business every day. What will become of me and my poor children, the Lord only knows. High rents and fat fees for inspection is a poor way to make St. Louis get a population of one million. SARAH A. GOODWIN.

By the death of Jose Fernandez, whose motor exploded at a height of more than 1600 feet, civ- ilization pays another installment of the price of progress. Fernandez was an experienced aviator and suc- cessful inventor. He had made several valuable contributions to the science of aeronautics which made him society’s creditor. But his name will be entered in the roll of heroes of science. Men of his bent of mind do not greatly care for mere temporal rewards. Their lives are useful and their delight is in doing what is worth while, from a social, human point of view.

Mexico’s best response to vicious at- tacks is the invitation which she ex- tends to all without misgiving and with- out fear: “Come and see for your- selves! But come with an open and candid mind. Do not expect to find human nature here different from what it is elsewhere. Of course, you will discover blemishes here. But remember the country’s past—the benumbing pa- ternalism of the colonial regime and the demoralizing effects of half a cen- tury of turbulence, turmoil and revolu- tion. If you are fair and open minded you will own that the good here ex- ceeds the bad and that Mexico is doing her best to improve, to eradicate, in- veterate evils and to solve, in the best interests of humanity and civilization, her peculiar problems.”’ The fallacy of such writers as the author of “Barbarous Mexico” is that they look to Mexico for a perfection which does not exist in thelr.own coun- try.

The Pierce case reduces itself to this: Pierce In Texas made an affidavit whose falsity became apparent: when he later testified to different effect in anti-trust proceedings in Missouri. But this later testi- mony was for the advantage and benefit of the State. Therefore, it may not be used as a founda- tion on which to build a charge of perjury, al- though the perjury is plain and such profits and benefits as came from it were enjoyed by the per- jurer. Sugar Trust officials falling over each other in clamorous haste to testify before a congres- sional committee and getting their immunity tickets at the exit would certainly be the spec- tacle now that Pierce has escaped.

The facts that support the claim of the State ist anywhere. to such a name, not a “nickname,” but one full of honor and dignity, are several. Missouri has two states to the north and two states to the south of 4t. It also is bounded by-eight states. Located as it is, in this great Mississippi Valley, its shores are wasiecd by the waters of great river systems. Consider the vast territory through which the Missouri flows. bringing its tribute of soil from many common- wealths before entering the State that shares its name. Out from the shadow of the Northern pine winds along its majestic course the mighty Mississippi, bringing with it to the shores of Missouri the wa- ters of its tributary, the Illinois, now connected with the Great Lakes. Finally, as to rivers, there is the Ohio, the waterway of the early pioneers, with its tributaries, the Cumberland and tne Tennessee. Oh. yes, and don’t forget the Wabash! Historically, Missouri was the heart of things in the early days. From this point brave men 4nd women went out on the old Santa Fe Trail to the Southwest and on other trails or up the Missouri to the Northwest. Its greatest city, St. Louis, is the most representative American city, and within tts borders dwell together people from the North and from the South, the Bast and the West. The cen- ter of population will shortly reach Missouri and this State is almost the geographical center of the nation. ‘Who shall then say that Missouri is not “The Heart } of the Nation?’ FREDERICK D.

Wares ce ap meme ar one counted as Democratic. The late David A. De- _ Armond was one of the ablest men Missouri has . ever given the nation. His leadership bore no ,partisan brand. He worked in a broader field. On constitutional questions he wes a general counsel and on parliamentary law his advice was regard- ed by friend and foe alike. These were the tributes paid to a deep student, while to his party he was safe. guide and calm, shrewd advocate. The approval of his immediate constituents was a small reflection of the applause accorded his unfailingly consistent performance. There can be no expectation that the Sixth District Democrats will find ready at hand a 4 candidate who can measure up to DeArmond’s standard. Lack of experience/in the material that offers forbids that. But they owe it not Teas to the nation than to themselves to consider A NEW LITERARY REVIVAL. From the New York World. With the advent of William, Watson, the English poet, New York has expe- rienced a sudden literary revival. For many years pathetic complaints have been heard from the poets that they were treated with neglect. Not evea the magazine editors to whom they sub- mitted their verses displayed intelligent interest in them. If they managed to find a publisher nobody took the trouble to read their precious little volumes. With this sudden growth of a popular appetite for one of the finer fornm of literature, a tidal wave of chivairy hes swept over the community. Mr. Wat- son has written many finer poems. No ‘doubt he can write worse. But noth- ing from his pen has produced so pro- found an effect upon a people whose ideals he has professed from afar to admire. Quite by accident he has quickened the taste for’ poetry In many

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTER. Col. Todhunter organizes a big public re- ception for his friend, Col. “*bill’’ Strick- land, returning to his Nineveh home from St Louis, af.ér announcing his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Missouri. he ceremonies are interrupted by a counter-demonstration of the followers of Stephen K. Yancey, a rival candidate. Col.j Todhunter rejoices at the prospect for a hot political fight. At a barbecue-dinner giv- en by the Nineveh Daughters of the Confeder- acy Col. Todhunter vigorously campaigns for Col, ‘“*Bill’’ Strickland, warns. young Tom Strickland, in love with Edith Mayfield, of the éril of becoming entangled with Lottie May gett, and helps Sim Birdsong get a word with Miss Angelica BPxall. CHAPTER III. | A Lively Session in the Nineveh “Blade” Sanctum. N THE following after- noon the Hon. Willttam J. Strickland and* Col. Todhunter parted com- or for a few days, having first held a long conference in intimate discussion of campaign plans. “I’ve got to return to St. Louis and see how things are started at my headquarters there,” said the former. “Then it'll be necessary to take a run across the State and establish head- quarters in Kansas City, right under Steve Yancey’s nose. I'll want you to make a few speeches for me in St. Louis about next week, Thurs.., And don’t forget—I’m going to hold you to your promise to stump the State for me” “T ain’t forgettin’,” responded, Col. Todhunter.. “I’m cocked and primed for a campaign that'll bring every old-line Democrat in Mizzoorah out o’ the brush and set 'em whoopin’ for you to beat the band, suh. The Al- mighty Dollar ain’t the only thing that talles in this-here State yet, not by a jug-full, and I’m a-goin’ toprove it, Bill.” “It’s what we've got to beat, though,” commented the candidate. “Things ain’t like they used to be in Mizzeorah politics, my friend.” “That’s why we got so many pro- fessional politicians and so few statesmen nowadays,” replied the other. “But, all the same, the people of Mizzoorah’s honest, if the politic- ians ain’t, and this-here new primary law’s a-goin’ to give ‘em their best chance to name their own choice for Governor, suh.” “It will—if there’s no crooked work at the polls,” said Col. Strick- land. “I’m afraid of the cities cor that reason. It’s the city crooks that beat the country vote in anything ifke a close race, Thurs.”’ Col. Todhunter nodded his head em- phatically. “T’li just be dadblamed,” he said, “if ail the corruption in American politics don’t seem to come from the big towns, suh. It lookg like it’s plumb natural for cities to be sin- ful. It’s been that way ever since Sodom and Gomorrah, suh.

Todhunter. “It’s justified by the facts, as every dad- blamed last one of us realizes when he begins to see the finish and size “ the whole thing.

I don’t know nothin’ more triflin’ and insignificant than a bottle o’ soda-pop that won't fizz, suh.”’ It was shortly after this.that the two old friends parted. Col. Todhunt- er went direct to the office of the Nineveh -Blade when he had seen Col. “Bill” Strickland off for St. Louis. Dick Cantrill, éditor of the Blade, was a red-headed youn Democrat who cherished old-fashioned prin- ciples. There was no thought in his clean mind of devious ways to make politics pecuniarily profitable. One could no more have “bought” him than one could have “bought” Patrick Henry or “Old Hickory” Jackson, and he was just about as fiery and fear- less as those two earlier Americans. Consequently, many politicians spoke of him as “that stubborn young fool, Dick Cantril] of the Nineveh’ Blade.” As Col. Todhunter entered the Blade office a fuming little man al- most extinguished under a big and very rus silk hat was terminating what had plainly been a stormy in- terview with Dick Cantrill. “Hello, Eph!” said Col, Todhunter. surprised. “It ain’t often I find you hobnobbin’ with Dick Cantrill. Go right ahead—don’t let me interrupt you!’’ There was a wicked smile on young Cantrill’s mouth. “We're just about done now, Colonel,” he _ interposed. “Squire Tucker was trying to induce. me to support Yancey im this campaign, but I had to decline. The Blade’s for Col. Strickland, tooth and nail. now that he’s out for the nomination.” “And you and the Blade are both durned fools, sir—that's all I’ve got to say!” snapped the little old man under the big hat. “You don’t know which side your bread’s buttered on, Dick Cantrill!” “Squire.” said Dick, grinning cool- ly, “that ain't the only viewpoint from which I look at the matter. I know Col. Strickland. and I know Steve Yancey, and I know S8trick- land’s the best man. That makes it my duty to support him, Squire!” ‘It’s to your interest to support the winner, you young idiot, and I wag talking to you for your own good!’ cried old Tucker. “Stephen K. Yan- cey has got all the money influence behind him in this campaign, and he’ll be nominate by. an oOverwhelm- ing majority. You'll put up a mighty poor mouth then, Dick Cantril, beg-

Anyway, we might as well get the whole thing threshed out right now, as long as we've got started.’’ . “T’ll see if I can’t make you change your tune before I’m done with you, sir!’—and old Tucker’s cold little eyes narrowed venomously. ‘“You’re talking meet big now, Dick Cant- rill, but the Yancey administration’ll have the last say, my young game- cock!” “The Yancey administration be damned!” replied Dick Cantrill—and then he laughed and settled back in his chair. “But. shucks, Squire, I can’t talk to you like I could to a younger man: Let's go easy. You're for Yancey, and I’m for Strickland, and that’s all there is to it. Every man’s got a right to his own opinion in a free country, Squire.” “Very well, sir, very well, if you will have it that way,” retorted old Eph Tucker. “But you’re backing a loser, Dick Cantrill, and you're going to suffer for it. Stephen K. Yancey will snow Bill Strickland under so deep that Bill's friends’ll never be able to dig him out, sir!”’ Dick Cantrill stretched his arms above his head. “Such being the case, Squire,” he replied, “it don’t make any difference to you Yancey people; what rie and the Blade see fit to do, so you can just keep your shirt on. There cer- tainly cun’t be any occasion for your worrying if you’ve got us beat from the jump.” Old Tucker glared at the amused speaker. At this moment a fourth figure was sdded to the group. It was that of Lycurgus Quivey, the schoolmaster of Nineveh, a gaunt and homely repre- sentative of rustic learning, with a face pathetic in its meek wistful- ness. “Well, well, Lycurgus!” cried Dick Cantrill, cordially, “I’m glad®to see you! Blest if I hadn't begun to fear the Blade wasn’t going to have a poem from you this: week. And that would never do, sir!” The shy schoolmaster colored at the greeting. “It’s mighty good of you to say so, Mr. Cantri!l,” he replied. “I reckon Inv poems don’t amount to as much as that, but I try my best to keep ’em up to a high standard. The world don’t seem to care much for poetry now, though.” “It’s always been that way, Ly- curgus’—and a whimsical smile came on Dick Cantrill’s lips—‘“The only time the world has ever loved and honored its poets is after they’ve been starved to death, sir. But what have you got now?” Lycurgus Quivey cleared his throat nervously. “T reckon you'll be surprised, Mr. Cantrill,” he said at last, “but the truth is, I've written a political poem this time. I know Qol. Strickland so well, sir, and I like him s0 much, that I thought I'd write a Strickland campaign song. It might do some good at mass-meetings and barbe- cues and such things, it seemed to Old Eph Tucker snorted and glared at the embarrassed speaker, Col. Tod- hunter beamed his approval. Dick Cantrill’s sense of humor reveled in the situation. “Bully for you, Lycurgus!” -he ex- claimed. “That's just fine! You bet the Blade’ll print your campaign song. And, by George, sir, come to think of it, here’s Squire Tucker do- ing his level best to convert me to the Yancey cause—lI’ll just read your poem to him and see if it won't bring him over to the Strickland side!” At this old Eph Tucker’s wrath ex- ploded. “You won't do anything of the sort!” he ejaculated. “You and your fool poets can go it alone supporting Bill Strickland. it’s about all the su = nel] get!” T en he turned on Lycurgus Quiv- ey. “Aas for you, Mr. Schoolteacher,” he snarled, “if writin’ campaign poetry for Bill Strickland is the best you can do, I'll see if we can't give you more time for it by getting you out of the Nineveh school, sir. I can do it, too. I’m chairman of the School Board, and I'll h’ist you out of your job without letting any grass grow under my feet!” “8 “No, you won't Squire,” spoke Dick Cantrill, quietly. His steady eyes helads those of old Eph Tucker with a distinct menace, “Squire,” Dick continued, “I know you just well enough to know that you’re willing to et threat good. Don’t you dase do ft, sir. This man is a worthy man in his place, and, outside_of his working hours, he’s privileged to write poetr whoever and whatever he amn leases, and to make dis own choice in politics, sir. I give you a ‘plece of advice, Squire Tucker. Don’t you lift a finger to get Lycurgus Quivey fired, sir.

If you're Fong to make a personal fight on this man because he backs William J, Strickland for Governor of Missouri, I'll make the same sort of a fight from the Strickland side of that proposition. And you'll be the first man I'll make it on, Squire. I've zot the material to do it with, and you know it. You know your own record. You won't last a minute if ihe Blade goes out after your scalp, Squire Tucker. You'll shrivel up quicker’n a dry oakleaf in hell, sir!’ A grim silence followed these words. Then old Eph Tucker spoke. “Well,” he said slowly, “it strikes me you’re gcing off half-cocked, Dick. We've both lost our tempers a little and probably said more’n we meant. Anyway, I haven’t done any- ong against Lycurgus Quivey yet. Maybe you better just keep cool and wait till I do before you start in to tear up things the way you’ve been threatening, sir.” Dick Cantrill laughed. “Sure, Squire,” he replied. “I can wait just as long as you can, I reck- on. But not a minute longer. Keep that in mind, Squire. Not a minute longer!” A few moments later Col. Todhunter was alone with Dick Cantrill. “That was a right lively session while it lasted, Dick,” he chuckled. “You called old Eph down pretty dad- blamed hard, suh.” “The old scoundrel!” exclaimed Dick. Then-he added: “I don’t like to talk to a man of his age that way, Colonel, but that cold-blooded threat “gainst Lycurgus Quivey, as defénse- less @ man as ever lived, sir, flung me off my balance.” “IT reckon you ain’t done no harm, Dick,” said Col. Todhunter. Then. his eyes twinkled. “Th’ ain’t none of us old sinners, I reckon, but what's all the better for bein’ brought to a con- viction of sin every now and then, suh. Anyway, it worked fine with old Eph.” : A little later, crossing the town square, Col. Todhunter held counsel with himself. “Weil, suh,” he said, “the owner of a newspaper ought to flop down on his marrowbones every night and pray ‘Our Father, deliver us from temptation!’ He can help or hurt crooked men more’n any other one in- fluence, and they know it. He sure must have a hard fight to keep straight—the longer he stays virtu- ous, the more they’re willin’ to pay for hirn.

The young man who prudently pro- vides his artistic creation with dozens of pockets, gives her also a train to drag in the dust. The young woman with the four-but- ton waist mey meet certain common- sense requirements, but big sleeves are out of date and the small hat looks more like a girdle than a hat. Ask any woman if it doesn’t. The large and comfortable lady in the Dolly Varden costume would look all right in comic opera, but don’t you thing she’d be a trifle overyhéelming at the breakfast table? ‘ As for the Grecian costume, well, look

| SHE WARNS BURGLARS THAT SHE’LL SHOOT YY, A 7 (/ bd Yj 4 / 4 WOMAN KEEPS WEAPON READY OR BURGLAR Mrs. Hazel Goerder, wife of G. A. Goerder, 6011 Suburban avenue, has a revolver loaded and is ail ready for the third visit of a man who she thinks is either a “Peeping Tom’ or a bur- glar. She doesn’t know which, and she doesn’t care very much. She would just as soon shoot one as the other. Her husband is sick and for the time being she will have to do the shooting for the whole family, but she considers | herself entirely equal to the require- ments. The man made his second visit Tues- Goerder was sleeping and Mrs. Goerder was getting ready for bed. She went to the Kitchen window and looked out into an area between her home and the house next door. She saw a man standing on the sill of the basement window and Jooking into -her husband’s room. She called to him to go away, but-he only 4eered at her. She repeated the command and he still leered. She went to her husband's room and got the re- volver. When she returned the man ran out of the area. Mrs. Goerder ran to the front door and saw him running west on Suburban avenue. The first call was three months ago. A man at that time looked through the same window. The fact that a neighbor’s house was entered recently through a side window leads Mrs. Goerder to suppose that the visitor is a burglar. She wants this par- ticular burglar and all other burglars to understand that the sickness of her husband does not leave her defenseless, as she can shoot as straight as he can, if not a little straighter. SISTER VERONICA, A NUN FIFTY YEARS, CELEBRATES Her Cousin Says Special Mass and She Receives After- ward. Sister Veronica of Visitation Convent has been a nun for half a century and Wednesday morning she celebrated her golden jubilee at the convent at Cab- anne and Belt avenue. For 62 years Sister Veronica has been connected with the order, and for 50 years she has been a nun. The event was celebrated with a spe- cial mass, conducted by the Rev. Fa- ther Gearty of Chicago, a cousin of Sister Veronica. The 9 nuns of Visita- tion Convent, other relatives and nu- merous friends of the sister attended the mass. Before she joined the order Sister Veronica was Mary Gearty of Chicago. She entered the order as an apostolate on Dec. 8, 1857, and took the vows two years Jater. The convent was then at Ninth and Barry streets. Later it was moved to Twenty-second street and Cass avenue, and finally to Cabanne and Belt avenue, its present home. All of these changes have been made since Sister Veronica joined the order. Aftr the celebration of the jubilee mass, Sister Veronica held an informal reception to receive the congratulations of the other nuns, her relatives and a aro | number of friends from all parts of 5 Louis who had gathered to Honor her. Despite her advanced years, Sis- ter Veronica is remarkably hale and hearty and participated in the ceremo- nies with all the visor ana interest of her younger associates.

ENGAGED AS A MAID Was to Receive $22 a Month During Yachting Cruise to West Indies. a

Mattie Anderson, a negress, obtained a judgment for $250 against Mrs. J. C. Van Blarcom in Justice O’Hallaron’s court Wednesday for breach of the con- tract under which Mattie was to be lady’s maid at $22 a month to Mrs. Van Blarcom and her cousin on a yacht trip to the West Indies. Justices O Hallaron said the woman was entitled to something for the trip that she had missed as well as for the wages that she had missed. Mattie was a dressmaker when Mrs. Van Blarcom asked her if she would like to go on a trip to the West Indies and perhaps to Japan. Mattie said she would. Letter Told Position. Later Mrs. Van Blarcom wrote Mattie a letter offering her $22 a month and expenses and said they would start on the trip about Sept. 20, 1908. ‘Your position,’”’ wrote Mrs. Van Blar- com, “‘will be lady’s maid to my cousin and me. Everybody loves my cousin. I won’t speak for myself, but I think you and I will get along all right.’ For Mattie’s comfort Mrs. Van Blar- com suggested the clothing she would need, which included black sateen bloomers, black sateen wrapper, black fiannel overwrapper, a _ light-weight waterproof coat, a warm coat, rubbers, umbrella, warm flannels, knit under- wear, shoes, two black woolen dresses, a black sateen dress, two gingham dresses and a street sult of gingham or linen, summer and winter hats. Borrowed Money for Trip. Mattie was. making $5 and $% a day, she testified. She gave up her custom- ers, borrowed $100, on which she agreed to pay $50 interest, and bought most of the outfit Mrs. Van Blarcom had sug- gested, and went to the Van Blarcom home to do some sewing pending the return of Mrs. Van Blarcom from the mountains. Then Mr. van Blarcom died and Mrs. van Blarcom sent for her and told her the trip was off. She hoped Mattie had not incurred any expense. Mattie said she had, and she told Mrs. van Blar- com about the customers she had lost, the money she had borrowed and the clothes she had bought. Mrs. Van Blarcom told her she was extravagant, but agreed to help her out. She gave her $8 and later had her lawyers take up notes the woman had given and had them made payable to her and gave Mattie the privilege of paying the notes off in instalments. She also gave Mattie’ as presents a Japanese box, a vase, two pairs of scissors and a pin tray. Mrs.. Van Blarcom in Mourning. Mrs. van Blarcom, in mourning attire took the stand. “‘I was instructed to hire a maid for the yachting trip,”’ her testimony began. She said her hus- band had directed it, but that was stricken out by the Justice. “T asked Mattie if she would like te go,’’ she continued, ‘“‘and she said she would. I engaged her to do some work at the house while I was in the moun- tains. Later I wrote her a letter em- ploying her. After the death of my husband I had her come to see me and I told her the trip would not be taken. I offered to take up the notes and let her settle with me, I felt tender-heart- ed toward her. I told her I would try to arrange it so that she would only need to pay me nominal interest. “Some time later she came to me. She needed more money. I told her I felt I had done all that I could for her and asked her why she did not go to some of her other customers. Then I was notified that the suit had been filed.. After that she made two $5 pay- ments on the notes.’’ Mrs. Vari Blarcom testified that she always hired the servants, but her hus- band paid the bills. On cross-examination she said it was because she was kindly disposed to- ward the woman that she took up the notes. “Was it out of the goodness of your heart that you allowed her to pay the money back?” asked Attorney Gooda- man. Mrs. Van Blarcom’s attorney objected, but Judge O’Hallaron said he was about to ask the same. question. Mrs. Van Blarcom said it was out of the good- ness of her heart. Miss A. L. Dowder, secretary to Mrs. Van Blarcom, gave testimony that had no direct bearing on the cage.

The City Star Tenpin League teams did not shoot up to anything like the averages that were generally expected of the fives Tuesday night. On the De Soto-Pine alleys the Regal Shoe Co. team was bowling against the Bilack- well-Wielandys on No. 15 and 16 runs. These are home alleys of the Regals. The five would have been badly disap- pointed if it had to win the city cham- pionship on the scores registered Tues- day night, as 2666 was the total, includ- ing Martin Kern’s score. The Regals won two out of three games from the Blackwell-Wielandys, but the latter team was figured an. easy victim before the Regals shot.

C. L. Vandewater is the only man who broke into and smashed the little trust in the city tournament. Vandewater, « however, is a member of the old De Soto Stars team and as captain of that five succeeded in winning a couple of scratch city championships for his team before. He was also formerly an “afternoon” bowler. Two bowlers who rank up in the top class are scheduled to shoot in the in- dividual tournament games on the Rex alleys Wednesday night. They are Fred- die Graeff, a southpaw, and Louis Wal- decker. Waldecker is a competing member of the individual city champion- ship tournament. Wedmesday evening Waldecker will oppose Freddie Graeff and Schaeffner will bowl against Char- ley Anthony. ‘These Graeff-Waldecker match is bound to result in an excellent contest. Jehnny Horgan, former three-cushion billiard champion, also former world’s}. champion pool player, is thinking seri- ously of taking -a flyer on the tenpin game. The “Banker's” girth in recent years has always interfered with bil- liards. Next year Horgan intends to go in training, as Tommy Hueston, the present pool champion, is thé man he took the medal away from, and Hues- ton now wants to play anybody for $1000 per side, The De Soto-Vernon League matches on the De Sote-Vernon alleys Monday night resulted as follows: Arcades 2, Goodfellows 1; Fountain Parks 3, Ju- lians.0; Remingtons 2, Sioux 1; Dia- mond Y. 2, Cabannes 1; Underwoods 2, Avalaons No, 2, 1; Octas 2, Friscos 1 Two matches between teams of the | Business Men's Cocked Hat League were rolled on the Royal alleys Tuesday | ngiht. The Buxton &ASkinners annexed four of the five games in their contest with the A. C. & F. The Grand-Lead- ers, in the other contest, took four out of five from the Real Estate men. -__---- CT +r oor er-= | $3.50 Recipe Cures Sick Men-----Free Send Name and Address Today— You Can Have It Free and Be Strong and Ambitious, I beve tn my possession « nervous debility, l bite dete scriptfon free of chargé, iz sea‘ed envelope to ang mas who will wri gates oe - OY a> @

By Wire From the Washington Bu- reau Cf the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Dec. &£—‘‘We are com- ing 500 strong,” wired President James E. Smith of the St. Louis Business Men’s Leagué to Congressman Richard Bartholdt. “Arrange that we see Presi- dent, Vice-President, Speaker and oth- ers advisable.” It was the St. Louis delegation coming

to the waterways conference that opened here today. Herr Dokter Bartholdt went to the White House and laid the request before Secretary Carpenter. Mr. Car- penter disappeared into the inner sanc- tum a moment and then announced that the President could not see 500, but that he would welcome a committee of three. Mr. Bartholdt gave this news to Mr. Smith and Secretary Saunders when they arrived. “What are we going to do?” asked Mr. Smith. i “T guess you are going to appoint a committee of three,”’ ventured the Con- gressman. ‘“But,”’ he added, to dispel the gloom, “all of you can see the Speaker.” The Speaker is against waterways. Secretary Saunders murmured: Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them! Poor Old Five Hundred! The President afterwards reiented and agreed to meet the delegation Thurs- day. Champ Clark Believes Bryan Supreme Orator “Bryan is. the greatest orator in the world today, living or dead,” said Leader Champ Clark today. ‘There are not more than a half-dozen real orators now living, anyhow. Cockran and ‘Bob’ Cousins are orators, and then there are John Temple Graves and John W. Daniel. All the men I have mentioned are Democrats. The Republicans have very few orators. Oratory seems to run to the Democra- cy. Now, Dolliver of Iowashrdluetaoin cy. Now, Dolliver is a great orator and a man that is developing. I think he is the Best orator the Republicans have. :

RETAILERS GET NEW SHOPPERS” TRAINS FROM ILLINOIS POINTS Service Within 100-Mile Radius of St. Louis to Be Im- proved, New shoppers trains between Mce- ‘Leansboro, Til, and St. Louis, will be put into service by the L. & N. Rail- road within a short time. The first run probably will be made on Dec. 19. The Associated Retailers, who have been working for !mproved train serv- ice from the territory within a 100-mfle radius of St. Louis, are pleased by the announcement of the L. &.N., which was made by J. E. Davenport, division passenger agent. he new train will arrive in St. Louis about 9:15 a. m., and leave Union Sta tion probably at 5:30 p. m. This will make it possibly for residents of Mc- Leansboro ‘and other towns along the line to spend a day in St. Louis with- out being away from home over night. McLeansboro is 104 miles from St. Louis, for a local train, a run of three and one-half hours. Stations on the L. & N. between McLeansboro and 8t. Louis, which this train will serve, are Mt. Vernon, Ashley, Nashville, Okaw- ville, Belleville. Through the efforts of the Associated Retailers, train service in the St. Louis territory has been increased by the ad- dition of trains on the Illinois Central, from Carbondale, Ill, on the Missouri Pacific, from Jefferson City, on Rock Island from Union, Mo., and on tne Frisco, from southwesttrn points. The retailers are endeavoring to. get similar service established on the Burl- ington, from Hannibal, the B. & O. from Shawneetown, Ill, and the M., K. @ T. from North Jefferson. ~__STOVE REPAIRS REF Ke iath; Concrai Sout teow SSUES EA wt ink

Desmond set forth that the ledger which showed that Luyties was receiving $50,000. was rewritten and the salary placed at the former figure, $25,000. The old ledger was burned by Desmond, he said, in the boiler room of the company’s plant. This action was understood; Desmond ex- plained, between Luyties, Attorney Al- bert Arnstein and himself. Desmond was secretary and a director of the company until Monday, when he resigned at the same time that Luyties retired as president. | Attorney Dorsey A.
