The delegate who Offered the motion said his purpose was to make sure that men would be chosen who would accept the: nominations and make an active campaign. James M. Rollins of St. Louis, Col. Dick Dalton of Saverton and others de- dlared that such a plan would be a re- turn to boss and ring rule methods of the old party conventions, and Rollins offa@red a substitute motion that all nominations be considered in open con- vértion,.and that a roll cail of con- gt?essional districts be made before clos- -Mg- any nomination.

STATE MOOSE PLATFORM, AS RECOMMENDED, IS BRIEF Following is a summary of the Pro- gressive platform reported by the Plat- form Committee io the convention Tue:- day. The most important features of the platform are its provisions for a State- wide extension of the widows’ allowance law, a State public utilities commission, equal suffrage, home rule for cities and extension of the rights by which cities may buy or establish public utilities. The platform contains only about 1500 words and therefore is much shorter than the average platform adopted by a State political convention. The opening paragraph of the plat- form is: “The Progressive party has come into existence to meet and solve the new problems of social and political life, and to offer to all Progressives, of whatso- ever former political affiliations, a com- mon ground on which to make war against the forces of privilege, now strongly entrenched in, and in control of, the two old political parties.”’ Nominationg Indorsed. — The work of the National Progressive convention at Chicago and the nomina- tion of Roosevelt and Johnson are in- dorsed in. the next two paragraphs. Un- der the caption, ‘Social and Industrial Justice,’ the platform says: ‘We wil) carry out, so far as possible in-this State, the pledges of the na- tional platform .fo: the prevention of in- dustrial accidents. and diseases; the fix- ing and regulation of health and safe- ty standards; the prohibition of child labor; the establishment of minimum wage standards for working women; the prohibition of night work for women; an eight-hour-day law for women and | children; the aboliition of contract con- | vict labor and the application of pris- oners’ wages to the support of their families; adequate inspection and full publicity of industrial conditions; a workingmen'’s compensation act; the protection of home life against the haz- ards of sickness and the regular em- ployment of old age through some sys- tem of social insurance.”’ In succeeding paragraphs the platform binds the party to support an extension, throughout the State, of the widows’ allowance law, now effective in. Jack- gon County only, so that Indigent moth- er’s children who become State charges may be reared under home influences; the development of the State's resources; plans for better roads and highways; the establishment of a State Public Util- ities Commission to regulate the service of steam and electric railways, telephone companies, water companies and con- cerns producing electric light, water ae and gas and the extension of cities’ powers toward public ownership of thet arg ‘ State; the improvement of the present laws governing primary elections; the Qregon plan of electing United States Senators by popular vote, and the exten- sion of the initiative and referendum to city and county questions. | The suffrage plan ‘kis a paragraph of enly four lines, merely pledging the par- ty to work for equal suffrage rights for men and women in Missouri. The commission form of government is recommended for cities. Under the heading of ‘“Judiciary,’’ the party de- mands a restriction of the powers of courts and additional rights for. the people in determining questions of social welfare and public policy. Under “Blue Sky Laws’’ the platform recommends legislation to provide for supervision of the issuance and sale of “so-called wildcat stocks and bonds” and for the protection of. investors. Home rule, giving citied local self- government through biparftsan boards of police, election and excise commis- sioners, elected by the people, is rec- ommended. In outlining the party’s attitude to- ward the courts, the platform recom- mends restrictions that will prevent the reversal of a judgment or decision on account of clerical or similar errors, unless it can be shown that such errors were prejudicial in the trial courts. The concluding paragraph pledges the party to the insurance of political equal- ity to all persons, regardless of race, color, creed or station in life.

I know how you will feel, but there is nothing else I can do or say that will help.’ “The next morning after that letter was written,”’ said Mrs. Slater, “John- son sent a telegram to me in Detroit saying: ‘Return letter written last night without opening it.’ That seemed strange to me, so I read the letter anyway." In reply to a letter from Mrs. Slater, announcing that she was ill, Johnson wrote as follows, Sept. 24, 1921: “I don’t ended, LR TURNS DOWN A MISSOURI. 0.P COMPROMISE PLAN Says Republican Support Was Offered if Moose Would En- — dorse State Ticket. By Associated Press. KEOKUK, Io., Sept. hatte offer of support from Republicans of Missouri was rejected yesterday by Col. Roose- velt, it was. learned today, on the terms which it was t2ndered.. The offer was that if Col. Roosevelt would induce the Missouri Progressives to refrain from putting a full State ticket’ into the field And would indorse the Republican can- didates, the support from Republican sources would be given. The Colonel received the offer when he reached St.- Louis. He was led to believe that if he accepted it some of the most influential members of the Republican organization would support his fight for the presidency. His refusal was made publicly when he was. ad- dressing the St. Louis convention, but the delegates’ did not know then the full significance of his words. Gave Answer at Convention, “I received letters from certain promi- nent Republicans of Missouri,” said Roosevelt today, “in which they said that they would support me if we would not put a State Progressive ticket in the field. I gave my answer to them in my address to the Progressive conven- tion.’’ In his speech, Roosevelt said the question whether a full ticket should be j named had been laid before him, and | that his advice was that a complete ticket should be put in the fleld.: He declared for a full ticket except in states in which either of the old party organizations could be takéh into the new party. Col. Roosevelt’s public dec- laration was taken to mean that all chance of a compromise in Missouri was and that the Progressive ‘party woul take up the fight with the Re- publicans straight down the line. The Colonel would give no opinion as to the position of Gov. Hadley in this event. It is known, however, that he does not regard the Republican ticket and platform in Missouri as thoroughly in accord with the ideas of the Pro- gressive party, and that he was actu- ated by this mise. Roosevelt said he was much interested in the statement of Senator Cummins of Iowa that he would vote for the Progressive national ticket, although he mfmovement. ‘The Capel dctinad td belief in refusing a compro-| SHAKE THAT BUNCH, ROOSEVELT GRIES WILD RIDE RESULIS C. Gratiot Gabanne Races Away With Colonel From Machines Which Follow. “Shake that bunch,” was Col. Roose- velt’s request to C. -Gratiot Cabanne, who drove the automobile in which the Colonel rode from the Jai Alai after his speech Tuseday evening, in the wildest flight through Forest Park that the mo- tor cycle policemen ever saw—and didn’t stop. “That bunch” ‘meant the occu- pants of a dozen motors which were trailing the Bull Moose leader. And Cabanne did “‘shake” them, al- though he-had to forsake the chosen route and forget all about the speed law to do it. Frank Wyman, one of those. in the party, complained of the speed, but the Colonel -smilingly ap- proved the pace that Cabanne was set- ting, and thanked him when the run was over. Cabanne told a Post-Dispatch reporter Wednesday the story of the race to the Country Club, in whicn, like the winner in @ historic yacht race, the Colonel’s car was first, and the rest were no- where. ™ Route Had Been Picked. “The route was all laid out for us,” said Cabanne. ‘We were to drive from the Jai Alai Building east on Delmar to King’s highway, and south to ths Buck- ingham. “Well, as soon as we got away from the building, Col. Roosevelt’ saw just how it was going to be. The men in the other autos would surround him at the Buckingham and he would hardly get a chance to wash his hands and face, much less to get a good dinner, before it would bs time to take his train. “He said something about it to Wil- liam H. Walker and Walker said it would be all right to change the pro- gram. So the Colonel touched my shoulder, pointed to the machines bhe- hind, and said, ‘Let’s shake that bunch.’ “I asked Walker if we weren’t going to the Buckingham, and he said the Country Club would do just as well. ‘T’ll shake them,’ I told him. Machines Kept Trailing. “At King’s highway the volice motor cycles, which were running ahead of us, turned toward the Buckingham. Instead of following them, I turned north on then west to Union. Not very fast, for the streets were pretty well filled—1t5 or 2% miles an hour. I kept the same pace along Union to the park entrance. “The other machines were in sight to the rear as we entered the park. Col. Roosevelt looked back and saw them, and said. ‘Now, shake them.’ And I opened the throttle. “The park roadways were clear, and I didn’t have to think of anything but gettirg away from those machines be- hind us. When we struck the Clayton road, the only one that hadn’t fallen out war one vf my own machines, with Jack Howard, my shop foreman, run- ning it. Judge Nortoni and some of the other Roosevelt people were riding: with him, and they were black with dust. That car was one I had in reserve, if anything had happened to mine, _ It followed us. all the way. oe “On the Clayton road I simply cut loose. Frank Wyman said, ‘You're go- ing too fast.. But the Colonel called out, ‘Go ahead, this is fine.’ Ignores the Speedometer. “I wasn’t watching the speedometer, and,/I don’t know what time I made. A lot of these fellows talk about .60 miles an hour that never went 35. There was no danger to us or to anyone else— if there had been, we wouldn’t have gone so fast. We didn’t see a motor cycle policeman, perhaps because sac had gone to the Buckingham. ‘When we got to the Country Club, | Wyman said, ‘You went too fast, I don’t like such speed.’ But Col. Roosevelt laughed and said, ‘I wanted you to shake the rest of them, and you did it.’ “Coming back, we took it easy enough to suit Mr. Wyman.” — “ACTOIDS” Act Actively Take “ACTOIDS” For Constipation “ACTOID BALM” For Sores And Burns speeches in the Senator’s State, he would discuss it. Judge Nortoni, interviewed at the con- positively know, that the letter to Roosevelt was from a Republican state leader, and committed not only the wri- ter, but Gov. Hadley, to the support of Roosevelt electors in case the Bull Moose party should not nominate a State ticket. ‘Some of the delegates said they be- lieved President Woerheide of the Po- lice Board delivered the letter of which Col. Roosevelt spoke. When a repor- ter asked Woerhelde about it, he de- clined to say anything except that he was a member of the Progressive party, and that he had, from the first, favored the,nomination of a State ticket. Woerheide was on the Roosevelt train from Indianapolis to St. Louts, Tues- day. Gov. Hadley, in a statement to the Post-Dispatch correspondent at Jeffer- son City, said the statements made in some newspapers as to his attitude were not authorized by him. He said the people of the State undoubtedly ex. pected him to make his position known, and that he would do so “at the proper time and in the proper way.” Before an- nouncing a decision, he said, he felt that he should have all the facts and information bearing on the issues in- volved.

Will Control Convention and Taft Electors Must Petition to Get on Ballot... ted P RANCISCO, Sept. 4—Yéster- Gay’s primary election, which gave the Progressive party its first opportunity in California to test its strength, as- sured the Roosevelt-Johnson organiza- tion control of the State convention that is to be composed of the legislative norginees. This means that Republican electors pledged to Roosevelt will be named by the convention and will go on the official ballot as the Republican candidates. The Taft leaders, to get their electors on the ballot, will be forced to resort to petitions. San Francisco and Los Angeles rolled up a heavy vete for the Progressive candidates. Meyer Lissner of the Re- publican State Central Committee and Gov. Johnson’s chief lieutenant, gave out the following statement at Los Angeles early today: “The primary makes certain the selec.

Much interest centers in the congres- sional fight in which the Progressives apparently carried a majority of the lL! districts, The result appears to be ays follows: First District—E. A. Hart, Progress. ive; Second District, F. M. Rutherford. Progressive; Third District, Charles F. Curry, Republican; Fourth District, Jul- jus Kahn, Republican; Fifth District. John I.

Contests between Democrats resulted in substantial victory for the Wilson forces over the Clark element, cham- pioned by former Congressman Theo- dore Beli. The vote was light, particularly in ths northern half of the State, in San Fran- cisco, out of a total registration of 117.. (00 only 56,000 ballots were cast. Women especially were inactive. with the ex- ception of the leaders, who senthusias- tically helped in the voting’ booth and were complimented by the Regisirar on the efficiency of their work.

VERMONT RESULT PLEASES WILSON

| Believes It ‘Indicates a Heavy | Poll Throughout Country at Election. SEAGIRT, N. J., Sept. 4.—‘‘The fact that the Democrats more than held their own in Vermont, a Republican State, and also made substantial gains, means business throughout the coun- try,”’ said Gov. Woodrow Wilson today, commenting on the election results in Vermont. The Governor said the big Democratic vote was ‘‘very gratifying.” It was dif- ficult, however, he said, to analyze the results in Vermont on any comparative hasis, because the total vete was 80 much larger this year than two years ago and it was hard to trace the source of the gains. At any rate he said, the Vermont election indicated a heavy vote throughout the country in the coming election and he said that he regarded it as significant, that the Democrats had carried the cities throughout Vermont. “One thing is sure,’”’ added the Gover- nor, ‘“‘the Democrats did not lose anv votes to the new party, and the Re- publicans lost.” The results are certain- ly encouraging.”’ The Governor. watched the vote in Ohio on the constitutional amendments proposing the initiative and referendum and also manifested much interest in the primary vote in New Hampshire and Wisconsin.

Man Fatally Wounded tn New Or- leans Election. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 4.—After two men had been shot, one fatally, in an election fight soon after the polls opened, citizens armed with rifles and shotguns guarded polling places, The Good Governnient League, or “reformers,” and the regulars were contesting for parochial. offices, Gov. Hall came from Baton Rouge and said he would assume protection of the city in case of another out- break. The “regulars” elected their can- didate for District Attorney.

MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING ANOTHER ON WALK I FRE | John Higgins’ Defense Was That He Tried to Save Henry Daniels From Fall. In a sealed verdict returned in Judge Withrow’s Court Wednesday, 2 jury acquitted John Higgins of a second de- gree murder charge. He was accused of killing Henry Daniels in front of 108 South Broadway two months ago. The State attempted to prove that Higgins knocked Daniels down, and that Daniels’ skull was fractured when his head struck the sidewalk. Higgins’ defense was that he was try- ing to prevent Daniels from falling, and that the motion of his arm, as described by several witnesses, was friendly. Just as he was about to catch hold of Dan- lels, he said, Daniels, who was intoxi- cated, reeled and fell. Several witnesses bore out Higgins’ testimony. The only witness who said Higgins struck Daniels admitted on gins stood in the shadow of an electric light pole and he could see only their silhouetted forms. When Henry B. Davis, attorney for Higgins, questioned Dr. John C. Le- brecht, autopsy physician, he asked him the meaning of several medical terms. “What's a haetoma?” asked Davis. “A blood blister,” replied Lebrechbt. “I wish the medical language was piainer,”’ said Davis, “Yes, it’s almost as bad as legal verbi- age,” retorted Lebrecht. —

Sept. 4.—Later, but far from complete, returns from yes- terday'’s primary election do not change last night’s figures, which indicated a landslide vote in favor of John C. Kare of Milwaukee for the gubernatorial nom- ination on the Democratic ticket over Adolph J. Schmitz. Karel attributes his victory to his stand taken in opposition te the State income tax law which was defended by Schmitz, who made a vigorous cam- paign. There were no other party con- tests for the nomination for Governor. Of the two contests in the Republican ranks, Henry Krumrey of Plymouth, is leading Henry Johnson of Madison for the nomination for State Treasurer, and Walter C. Owen of Maiden Rock has an advantage over Philip Lehner of Princeton for Attorney-General. NO DUTY ON AUTOS OF FOREIGN TOURISTS

THE SECRET OF LONG LIFE. Do not sap the springs of life by neglect of the human mechanism, by al- lowing the accumulation of poisons in the system. An imitation of Nature’s method of restoring waste of tissue and impoverishment of the blood and nervous strength is to take an alterative glyceric extract (without alcohol) of Golden Seal and Oregon grape root, Bloodroot, Stone and Mandrake root with Cherrybark. Over 40 years ago Dr. Pierce gave to the public this rem- edy, which he called Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. He found it would help the blood in taking up the proper elements from food, help the liver into activity, thereby throwing out the poisons from the blood and vital- izing the whole system as well as allaying and soothing a cough. No one ever takes cold unless constipated, or exhausted, and having what We call mal-nutrition, which is attended with impover- ished blood and exhaustion of nerve force. The ‘‘Digcov- ery’’ is an allround tonic which restores tone to the blood, nerves and heart by imitating Nature’s methods of restoring waste of tissue, and feeding the nerves, heart and lungs on rich red blood. “I suffered from & very severe cough, 8.

Including the delegates to the number of 1000, there were proba- bly 3600 hearers in the hall when Roosevelt finished his speech, which he limited to 45 minutes. Roosevelt was greeted with a storm of enthusiasm when he appeared on the platform with Temporary Chairman Nortoni, Progressive National Commit- teeman Will H. Walker and _ former. Postmaster Frank Wyman. The cheer- ing continued 10 minutes. The Colonel Was quick to notice that women were delegates in the convention, and opened his speech by saying that it gave him great pleasure to speak %G a conven- tion in which the women were recog- nized as delegates. “It has been said the Progressive party is a Roosevelt movement,” said Roosevelt. “If this was a movement that concerned only me, I would not be in it. It represents the deep concern of the American people. Professional poli- ticilans are short-sighted. They are blind to the color of our thought. The bosses deliberately wrecked the Republican party to defeat me. They didn’t like me. The theft of the Republican nomi- nation was not a theft from me; it was a theft from you.”’ Answers Wilson's Speech. Answering the speech of Gov. Wil- son, Roosevelt said: ‘When Mr. Wilson comes to the tariff and attempts to quote me, he is singu- larly unsuccessful. He states, for in- stance, that 1 am not concerned with the interests of the general taxpayer, the general public. If he would take the trouble to read what I have said, or to read our platform, he would find that the commission principle which we pro- pose and to which he and his party are hostile has for one of its special objects the careful consideration of the needs of the general public. ‘We are advocating a commission sys- tem which has been tried in Germany and which has been one of the pieces of governmental and industrial mechan- ism that have been so extraordinarily successful in building up the great prus- perity of the German empire. Again, Mr. Wilson says that I expressed a de- sire that more of the money given to the protected industriss should get into the pay envelope of the working man, but that he can only find one suggestion in our platform for accomplishing that purpose, which suggestion is the mini- mum wage proposition. That proposi- tion does not apply to the tariff. Our tariff proposition is concrete and sim- ple, namery, that if in any protected industry the conditions of life and work are not satisfactory we shall forthwith take the protection off that industry, and that it shall be the duty of the Gov- ernment commission to oversee the in- dustry and see if the conditions are satisfactory. “T believe In protection. I believe that if Mr. Wilson’s free trade policy or tar- iff-for-revenue-only policy is in good faith adopted and not treated merely as a campaign cry, widespread disaster will result to American life. But I do }jnot for a moment believe that a pro- tective tariff, by itself. offers in any way or shape the solution for the eco- nomic and social injustice against which we Progressives are striving.”’ The Colonel déclared that England. under free trade, had been subjected to constantly worse conditions in the last 40 years, while Germany had been mak- ing great progress industrially under a protective tariff. “Had No Chance to Testify.” He attacked Senator Penrose of 7 Pennsylvania and John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil Co. as men responsible for Larimerism in our political life. Discussing the testimony of Penrose and Archbold before the Senate Com- mittee on the subject of Standard Oil's financial contribution to the cam- paign of 1904, the speaker declared that as soon as their testimony was given the committee scattered to the four winds and Archbold fled to Europe, He was given no chance to,testify, he said. “Archbold, in his testimony, declared that the investigation of the Standard Oll Co., during my administration, was an outrage never equaled in darkest Abyssinia. “The Penrose and Archbolds don't ‘tike this Abyssinian treatment. But if I am ever President again they will get Abyssinian treatment whenever they need it, and all other offenders will get it. You will notice, however, that Arch- bold made no complaint of having re- ceived Abyssinian treatment under the administration of President Taft.” Mises Fruchte Speaks. After Roosevelt finished his speech, Judge Nortoni held the delegates to- gether to hear a speech from Miss Ame- ia Fruchte of Central High School. She had the honor of being the first woman to speak in a Missouri conven- tion as @ delegate. She discumsed the social problems confronting the coun- try, declared that the army of women teachers were educating the boys of the country in their duties as citizens, but were themselves overworked, un- ing tribute to Col. Roosevelt, ex- ing the hope of his election in No- a) ae cae os ee J TY METS eh een eee

Stone in Bladder Removed Without Surgical Operation In the. Spring of 1904 Iwas confined to my bed with kidney trouble and thought that I would never recover. I took a jot of medicine but did not realize any benefit from anything. I finally saw Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root advertisement and sent for a sample bottle and thought the sample bottle helped me, so I bought more of the medicine from my Druggist, and after using a few bottles discharged a very iarge stone from my bladder. After passing this stone my health was very much improved and I have been able to continue my business without any serious sickness. J. L. KNOWLES, Headland, Ala.

At that time, I remember, a notice was sent to principals asking them to request thelr teachers to express a preference for the monthly payday or a continu- ance of the practice which is still in force.

Waking Up From 20 Years of Sleep Not_a Rare Occurrence 3 When Rip Van Winkle returned to civilization after his slumbers of twenty winters and twenty summers he was amazed and dumfounded to note the tremendous changes that had taken place in his native village. He wondered as he stumbled along the roadway why he seemed to be the object of so much curiosity. It nettled him. It aroused his ire. And then he saw the reason for it all. He discovered— That he had been asleep twenty years. How pathetic it all seemed when we first read about old Rip, and how sorry we all felt for him. And yet there are even now thousands of Rip Van Winkles scattered all over the country, and some of them live in the same block as neighbors. They are the men and women who do things as they saw them twenty years ago Gnd wonder why they are the objects of so much curiosity and comment on the part of their fellow beings. They stumble along the highway of life, unconscious of the fact that their clothes do not look right; that their appearance does not harmonize with the times and that great changes are constantly going on about them. These men and women somnolently wander along in misery and misfortune because their eyes have not been opened to awak- ening opportunities in the ts of their newspaper, To ~~ in this enlightened age without knowledge where you ean buy the best and most for your money, the knowledge that is to be found in the advertisements of the Post-Dispatch, is really to sleep and let those about you go on in the world without you. Rip Van Winkle was the poorest man as well as the champion sleeper of his village. The man who reads the advertisements the least is likely to be not only the poorest fellow in that community, but is also the soundest asleep so far as progress is Every day the advertisements in the chronicle the progress of good taste and economy im the purchasing of your day that miss reading these advertisements Like time and tide, the opportunities to buy what you the advertisements of Rubbing with liniments, blistering the affected parts, the of plasters, and other means of external treatment, are usually relieving the pains and aches of Rheumatism, But such treatment d& not get rid of the disease, because it does not reach its source, tism comes from an excess of uric acid in the blood.

Frank Johnson of Granite City, now a member of the M. A. C., won the 10-mile run, with F. C. Schmidt of the Hibernian A. C. second. Paul Brown, another Hibernian A.

By CLARENCE F. LLOYD. With most of the local’ boxefs per- forming as professionals and with only one or two clubs ready to stage ama- j teur bouts, the “simon pure’”’ glove hurl- ers are going to have anything. but a busy campaign. Seven clubs stand ready to show the professionals, the Missouri Athletic Club and Western Rowing Club being the only organizations that have come out with an announcement in favor of amateur shows. The season, however, does not begin until October. The M. A. C.’s first show is set for the last Saturday in next month, and Boxing Instructor Randal] fears he'll have his troubles in lining up talent. It will be necessary to de- velop a squad of newcomers, as most of the experienced boxers of last season are now demanding coin for their serv- ices, Unlike the professional. clubs, Randall is making no effort to get out his jab artists now. With the thermometer hovering around the 100 mark, it would be next to impossible to have the simon pures don the mitts. Randall plans ‘a couple of tryout tournaments next month In the hope of bringing out some -young- sters. Kirk Open for Engegements. Oliver Kirk, ‘the former Olympic cham- pion, is seeking a date.

They met in March, anid the bout was called a draw. although even some Cincinnatians conceded’ the local chap better than an even break. On that meeting, Kirk was troubléd with an abcess on his jaw, and was unable to show at his best. He believes he can beat Purcell now, and thinks a local promoter will make no mistake in staging this. bout, If Kirk is unable to grab any matches with boys of his weight, he’s going out as a lightweight. The slim fellow has added a few pounds this summer, and believes he can work himself up to the 130-pound notch. In this class, Kirk should have na trouble’ obtaining bouts. Auto Drivérs’ Show Postponed. Secretary Williams-of the Auto Drivers’ Club announced Wednesday that the bouts scheduled Friday night had been postponed unti/ Jater in the month. This action was taker he said, because of the warm weather. The /date for the entertainment has not been set. Paddy Carrofl, formerly of the Irish-Ameri- ean A.

Peppers refuses to go with Benny McGovern at the terms: offered by dif- ferent promoters. He believes he is: worth more than the clubs care to give, and as a result the bdys have no matches.

Sturdy Rival in Johnny Dundee By ROBERT EDGREN Ay Special Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—There’ll be speed to burn tonight, when Johnny Kil- bane, featherweight champion, meets Dundee. It should be as pretty a con- test as we have seen in many a tone day. Of course, Kilbane will have an ode in the matter of cleverness. He is as light and swift and delicate in his movements as a cat. When he slips in and out, he hardly seems to touch the floor. He floats on air. His judgment of distance is so keen that he can ayoid a blow by a hair's thickness, anc , his brain is so quick that he has his coun- ter started before the other . fellow’s hand has moved a foot. Kilbane is @ real champion. He wastes no strength in vain or in useless defense. His. hand and eye and brain work together in per- fection. And with it all he is smilingly confident.

properly ‘finished. In other words, if a rider were thrown, from any cause, and came hurtling _ down that 62% degree in- cline ahead of his machine, he would face the following possible connec- tlons with accident or death, all due to the unfinished condition of the field: (1) He might be thrown against a mound of earth and have his bones broken. (2) After being halted by said mound the heavy machine and engine following might crash into and crush him. ‘ (3) He might slide off the bow! and over the five feet drop into the infield, breaking bones. (4) The machine might follow and fall on him, and crush out any re- maining spark of life left in him. As-if the normal dangers of this most dangerous of all sports were not suffi- cient; the promoters make it all but im- possible for a cyclist to escape serious mishap, in ‘case a minor accident hap- pens,to him or to his machine. DANGER COULD BE REDUCED. HE danger might at least be mini- mized by having the bowl shade off into a perfect tangent with the infield at all points, permitting the dismounted cyclist to roll out on the ground and clear of further entanglements. The present condition is entirely due to the eagerness of the promoters to start’ the plant making money. Thus far no accidents due to this field condi- tion have occurred, but that fact is no guarantee of perpetual immunity. Money taken under such conditions surely earns the right to be classified as unclean. And to think that this sort of thing is called a ‘“‘sport,’’ too! a * = HASTE MAKES WASTE. Tvespay's accident was one due partly to the haste: of the promoters in open- ing the motordrome. Had the track been lying about the track for the unsuspecting cyclist to blunder into. The company is working hard to get the infield imto shapé. but It will be several days before conditions can be made satis- factory. In the meantime the menace to the riders remains almost as bad as at the time of the premature opening. If this game fills the requirement of a sport, then any old hippopotamus can make a Swiss watch out of toothpicks. in proper shape, no ladder would have been | UNCLEAN MONEY. T’S not Mother Earth’s stain that makes men cal] money ‘‘filthy.’’ It’s the manner in .which accumulation is made that soils it. This being the case, there is some very unclean coin being taken in at Grand avenue and Meramec street, where the new motor cycle. racing plant, known as the ‘‘St. Louis Motor Drome,’’ is being filled three nights a week by morbid, curious and other sightseers. At a cost of $21,000 this bowl of tragedy was constructed hurriedly; so hurriedly that, notwithstanding the fact that but six nights’ receipts are needed to pay for its construction, the promoters opened up before it was Wednesday morning the condition of the infield was still such as to afford a considerable unnecessary menace to the riders who might chance to slip or be thrown.from their machines in a race. Where the bowl is sup- posed to. grade off into a tangent with the ground at the eige’of the track are to be found mounds of earth of varying heights, on the one hand, and jump-offs ranging from one to five feet in depth on the other. WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. HEN is a good contract a bad one? Why. when it calls for $10,000 a year and 10 per cent of the profits. . Fulfilling these conditions, the document that Roger Bresnahan thought himself for- tunate to get with the St., Louis National League club is a sort of Frankenstein that now menaces the capable leader of the Cards. + When the’ management fully realized what “d Steininger had handed to Roger it began to get nervous. It figured that if the club made money at’ an average rate of $90,000 per annum—appr ately the average for the preceding three seasons—Roger would be getting about $25,000 per year. which . is some soft, even for’ a winning leader. FEMININE THRALL GALLS ROGER. And then the friction began: it has con- tinued ever since» Nor is there any prospect that it will cease. The unbending and un- diplomatic Roger is not the sort that can be handled with lace ribbons, perfumed in orris root. He champs the bit even when restrained by the hands of a lady owner. And now there is little doubt but that an effort is being made to trade Roger. The Cincinnati papers tell of an offer made to Herrmann in which Roger was the trading asset. And there are several other teams that would jump at the chance to get a lead- er of Bresnahan’s stripe. But—again the contract. They won’t have him because the document compels them to sign away such a big part of their club. Herrmann would have taken Roger but for that 10 per cent a year clause, And so with other teams. The realization of what would happen should Roger really develop a winner is appealing to the ciers of the clubs wanting him. A winning team with a $200.000 earning wold give Roger $30,000 annual receipts. GOOD AT ANY COST. Yet why not? If he can do it, it’s more than his predecessors with Boston, Brookfyn. Cincinnati or the other clubs after him have been able to do; and it is therefore worth the money. But getting rid of Bresnahan is going to be a serious thing for the management. to say nothing of leaving the club In uncertainty &s to a leader. Huggins might make good: but. like Harry Davis. he would be purely an experiment, whose braing might hot nec- essarily make him a successful leader. Had Roger’s contract merely $10,000

in fourth or at least fifth place today. No friction or jealousy would have arisen; and no occasion for trading him would have existed. Or, even if it had, wher clubs would not have hesitated tu assyme thé contract. Now any deal seems deadiockéd. as well as any progress the club may make.

Piker Football Squad at Work on New Signals Cayou Will Ask Permission to Work Out His Men on Sept. 15. Although the scholastic year will not be- gin until Sept. 26 and no practice can be held until that date, if the laws of the Mis- souri Valley Conference are strictly adhered to, Coach Cayou of Washington University has already had a conference with most of the candidates for this year’s Pikeway foot- ball team. A meéting Labor day at the Pikeway gym- nasiwm was attended by more than twenty candidates. who listened to a long lecture from the Indian tutor. Cayou advised his men to study the new rules and familiarize themselves with the many changes and also to assimilate a new code of signals which will be distributed so that a flying start can be made when practice actually begins. Players May Be Lost, It has been rumored cabout the Stadium that three of last year’s stars will not be eligible this fall, but Cayou discredits this report. The players in question are Per- rings, an end; Potthoff, a guard, and Un- derwood, a backfield candidate. Cayou be- lieves that if these men have ‘‘conditions”’ they will -be able to work them off before starting time. If permission can be had from the fac: vity, Coach Cayou will inaugurate practice Sept. 15 with a small squad of local boys. He will not ask the out-of-town candidates to report that early. but those who live in the city will be requested to don their moleskins a week in advance of the reg- ular squad.

Predicted San Francisco Earth- quake and Warned Against : Volcano in Alaska. WASHINGTON, Sept. 4—WJ McGee, noted anthropologist, geologist, hydrol- ogist and author, died here today from a cancerous growth. Dr. McGee became seriously ill sev- eral weeks ago. He was born in Du- buque County, Io., 8 years ago. Dr. McGee was best known to St. Louisans through his work as chief of the Department of Anthropology at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. It was largely through his efforts that such extensive displays were made by the Filipinos and the American Indian tribes and that such interesting persons as the hairy Ainus of Japan and the cannibals of equatorial countries were brought to the great Fair. McGee was born April 17, 1853. With the exception of a few terms in pio- neer public schools, he was self-edu- cated. His early bent was toward me- chanics, and he patented several improvements on agricultural imple- ments. With U, 8S. Geologiéal Survey. Later he studied and practiced sur- veying, read law and wrote for news- papers. In 1875 he -began- researches among the mounds of Iowa and Wis- consin and in 1891 his maps and other data were published in the eleventh an- nual report of the United States geolog- ical survey, with which he had then been connected several years. For several years he was editor of the journal of the Geological Society of America. He was aJso editor_of the Na- tional Geographic Magazine. He was connected with all the scientific societies of the national capital and with many of national and international scope. In an interview recently printed in the Sunday Post-Dispatch Magazine, he pre- dicted that the great earthquake shocks that almost devastated part of the Mis- sissippi Valley near St. Louis in 1811 and 1812, will be repeated every 500 to 1000 years. scientific research.

Now they are to have 36 bottles of sparkling wine, known to everybody except Uncle Sam as champagne, with which to wash down the other toothsome things on which they recently have dined. The wine was made by an Ohio com- pany. Pure food inspectors confiscated it because the label described it as champagne, although it did not come from the champagne district of France.

She called physicians, who said he, apparently, had died from natural] causes. The Coroner will hold an autopsy. Teeson was 29 years old. Students Earn $95,000. NEW YORK.

Hilda said that last Wednesday her mother took Della and her downtown and bought their school dresses for this year. That afternoon Della met Julius Stone, 21 years old; who until three weeks ago had lived, for three years, in the flat above the Geighers. Stone and the girl took a car ride and agreed to meet the next morn- ing at Wellston and go to St. Charles and be married, the sister said. The couple met Thursday, took a car for St. Charles, procured a license and were married by Justice of the Peace Knott. Before starting on her elopement trip Della borrowed a hat from her sister, which wus taller than her own. She rearranged the feathers to make her look taller when she put it on, She had one long blue skirt, which she donned. The girl told the license clerk the Justice that she was 18 years After the ceremony she went to home and Stone went to his, at Wells avenue.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—If fashionable women of Newport dfdn’t appear in new frocks at the smart functions of “‘ten- nis week” it wasn’t because of hard times—or election year—no, indeed. It was because a young and pretty shop girl wanted to “play lady” for a week and she did what she wanted to do—in their clothes. It was this way: Mme. Suzanne of this city, who makes gowns and hats for some of Newport's best dressed women, had been working all hands overtime in order, to fill or- ders for tennis week, which is one of | the gayest weeks of the season. Her orders piled up until her artistic head was dizzy. When the Saturday be- fore tennis week arrived, every confec- tion from smart luncheon to elaborate dinner gowns were packed amid scented tissues. ‘“‘Miss Evelyn,’’ Mme. Suzanre’s most attractive saleswoman, was chosen to accompany and deliver the frocks to their Newport owners. Peeps Into the Boxes. Miss Evelyn reach2d the resort too late to deliver the boxes Saturday. The next day was Sunday and she started to see Newport for herself. She had on her little traveling suit and hat. “Trim and nzat but not Newportish,’’ Miss Evelyn thought as she watched the Sunday parade. She took a few peeps in the boxes. “Oh, how lovely it would be,” she mused, “‘to dress up in—let me see, this is ths Countess Szechenyi’s luncheon frock she ordered for Friday.:* She’s about my size.’”’ And in just five min- utes ‘“‘Miss Evelyn, saleslady,’’ was out of her plain business clothes and into the Countess’ lovely batiste and apricot satin luncheon frock. “What hat is this?” pondered Miss Evelyn. “Oh, y28, that was made for Mrs. Preston Gibson.”’ And on went Mrs. Gibson’s hat. Then there was a parasol that went with one of Mrs. Gordon Douglass smartest af- Evelyn had become a “perfect lady.” At least when she sauntsred along Bellevue avenue some of the younger set in Newport thought so. Before the tennis week was over everybody of both sexes were flitting about the new beauty. No belle had had so much at- tention since the Deacon girls got in their teens. Ths women looked haughty but interested, and marveled at Miss Nobody from Nowhere’s marvelous frocks. In the meantime Newport wom- en were frantic over thé dslay in receiv- ing their dresses. Messages kept Mrs. Suzanne busy. “Why have my gowns and hats not arrived?’ Mrs. Norman Whitehouse de- manded., “Where ure my clothes?” Miss Sadie Jones wired. Mystery Soon Is Explained. Mme. Suzanne took the first train for Newport. And the mystery of the dis- appearing frocks and the beautiful and mysterious new beauty were soon cleared. She was none other than “Miss Evelyn,” and the entire wardrobe of her “One Week” (with apologies to Elinor Glyn), were the undelivered creations belonging to our first circles. Suzanne returned to New York in dis- gust. Her pretty shop will be closed, and she will take a rest: cure in Paris, while ‘‘Miss Evelyn” either returns to a store on Fourteenth street or marries, or goes on in vaudevills.

In the current number of Everybody’s Maga- zine Innis H. Weed tells how St. Louis women organized and pushed the successful movement for the nine-hour day for women in this State. It is a pretty story and is true in the main as to the valuable work of women in acvomplishing this reform. But the writer gives the impression that all St. Louis newspapers were muzzled by “the inter- ests” and were silent on the subject. The basis of the charge is an incident in the campaign when the working women helped to dcfeat a candidate for the State Legislature who, they believed, would oppose the nine-hour law. On this point upon which the word “muzzled press” charge is based she says: : It was the last week in ens they had just a month before the primaries in which to _rouse public opinion. The newspapers must help, of course. Mré& Knefler went to the editors. They were polite, they admitted the justice of her stand, but they were evasive. Mrs. Knefler opened her paper the next morning after she had made the rounds, to find not a single word about the danger to the working woman's in- terests. Mrs. Knefler may have opened her morning pa- per and discovered that information she had given about a candidate which ought to have been print- ed, or news of a legitimate fight against a candi- _M@ate had been suppressed, but she never made that discovery with regard to the Post-Dispatch. Every St. Louisan knows that the Post-Dispatch, regardless of interests or influences, publishes all available facts bearing on the fitness of candidates for office. ‘As a matter of fact, the Post-Dispatch vigor- ously supported the nine-hour day measure. We _# printed columns of news about the fight and have just as vigorously demanded its enforcement. We beg to remind Innis H. Weed that truth and justice are not only rare adornments of maga- zine stories of reform, but are essential factors in social progress. Some localities in North and South St. Louis, reached by cross-city lines, are complaining that they were not included in the recent transfer ar- rangement. The principle involved being the same and the possible decrease in revenue being insiz- nificant, why not rectify this apparent oversight and make the transfer system practically univer- sal? i i he. INFANTILE PARALYSIS. The St. Louis Health Board held a special meet- ing to prescrive quarantine regulations against in- fartile paralysis. No mistake will be made in not minimizing the danger that exists even when the disease is confined to only a few families. It has some prevalence in Illinois territory tributary to St. Louis. The total. number of cases, however, has been comparatively small and only six deaths were attributed to the disease in the city proper during the past month. But sinec the virtual conquest of.diphtheria by science, infantile paraly- sis remains the most mysterious and terrible of childhood’s scourges. It slays savagely or leaves reminders of its visitation that often are worse than death. The best way to allay the alarm of parents is to neglect no precaution which the present meager knowledge of the virulent malady can suggest. = = ™ / Score one hundred merit marks for Princeton, Mo., which has lived for a week on breakfast foods in order to raise a fund of $800 with which te provide three meals a day for the poor during the coming winter. This commendation is based on the supposition that the story is true. = -? i IGNORE THE HEAT. » Admitting, as we must, that St. Louis has spells of intensely hot weather usually in the late sum- mer and early fall months, it will not help the city to attempt to hide the fact b, calling heat prostration insolation or any other scientific name. The educated man knows what insolation means, and the uneducated cares nothing about the mat- ter. Gveryone is aware that other cities frequently have long spells of weather as hot as any in St. Louls. And we all know that, on the whole, the ‘summer and fall temperature of St. Louis is as en- durable as that of other cities of its size or larger. To dwell upon the idea that we may or should = in some way falsify the returns and persuade the a that St. Louls is never hot in summer is to upon the idea of heat as a St. Louis special- WILSON-THATS ALL. The Vermont election ig significant of Demo-| cratic victory in November, from every stand- point. It proves that the Roosevelt defection splits the Republican party near the middle. Even in so conservative a State as Vermont the Roosevelt vote on the State election is 40 per cent of the to- tal Republican vote. | The total Republican vote, regular and Progres- sive, fell below that of four years ago nearly 8000, showing that about one-fifth of the Republicans refused to vote for either faction. The Democratic vote increased about 3000 over that of four years ago, showing that a large per- centage of Republicans voted the Democratic ticket. The vote means, if it means anything, that the Republican stay-at-home vote will be large enough to defeat a united party. in all doubtful states. To this certainty of defeat by apathy in doubtful states is added an almost equal division of the party between the two factions, and a large gain for the Democrats. Roosevelt will defeat Taft and contend with him for second place. Wilson will be elected or an overwhelming ma- jority. SENATOR CUMMINS’ MISTAKE. Senator Cummins of Iowa has announced his in- tention to vote for Theodore Roosevelt, not be- cause he favors the formation’of a new party, but because he thinks the system which forced the nomination of Mr. Taft against the will of a ma- jority of the Republican voters should be rebuked by his defeat. “A. new party,” he says, “is unnecessary, un- timely and unfortunate. +I fear it will retard rath- er than hasten reforr ” There is a better way out for Senator Cum- mins and those who think as he does than voting for the new party. A vote for Roosevelt is a vote for a new party, and does not insure the defeat of the Taft organization. It may by preventing auy candidate from obtaining a majority in the Electoral College result in the eiection of “Jim” Sherman or Secretary Knox, pillars of the old system, by the Senate, as the House is tied on a presidential vote. But a vote for Wilson is a di- rect vote against Taft. It counts a full vote for the election of his chief opponent. As Col. George Harvey statee it: A vote for Taft is a vote for Wilson, Sherman or Knox; a vote for Rwosevelt is a vote for Wilson, Sherman or Kure; but a vote for WILSON is a vote for WILSON. The regeneration of the Republican party lies in the final defeat of the old party organiza- tion without the successful formation of a new party. Perhaps those Michigan convicts who mutinied really ought to have better food. A ie — = = PAY SCHOOL TEACHERS OFTENER, St. Louis teachers are paid only eight times dur- ing the school year, of at intervals of about five weeks. Replies from teachers to the Post-Dis- patch’s request for their views on the infrequency | of pay days show that the plan works a hardship and that a change is desired. One teacher points out that 12 pay days a year is the rule in some Colorado towns. Another cites the New York plan of 12 pay days a year, with advance payments to Aug. 1 at the begin- ning of the long vacation, so. that teachers have their August salary awaiting them on their re- turn in the fall to resume work. Whatever plan may seem preferable for vaca- tion payments, there is no question about St. Louis: teachers’ rfzht to be paid oftener during the school year. Neither’logic nor the calender was con- sulted in prescribing payments at the awkward interval of five weeks. A part of the settled pol- icy of the State is to require railroads to pay employes twice a month, but after city teachers have earned two weeks’ pay, the school district holds it for three weekr longer. They drew their last money this year, June 10, and can draw no more until ‘Oct. 15, a salaryless period of four months. No wonder some teachers are said to re- sort to borrowing, and even to fall into the clutches of the loan sharks. Money should not be withheld from teachers simply because it involves a little more clerical work to pay it as it is earned. Move the pay days up closer together. Two pay days a month are not too many. Ae. Lie. —_— = w=.

The Coroner’s jury unhesitatingly returned a verdict of accidental death in the case of the mo- tor cyclist who courted death and succeeded in killing himself Saturday night at the “motor- drome.” The Coroner’s jury might have brought in a more literal verdict than “accidental.” Is it not more “deliberate” than “accidental” when a cy- clist racing around the rim of a saucer pitched at an angle of 62 degrees falls down? For the information of Coroners, jurors, grand jurors, prosecutors, motordrome promoters and proprietors, and the multitudes of spectators of the newest thriller in sport, we will cite Section 1822 of the Missouri Statutes, to wit: “Manslaugh- ter in first degree—Hvery person deliberately as- sisting another in the commission of self-murder shall be deemed guilty of manslaughter in the first degree.” The motor cycle racer is undoubtedly directly en- couraged to risk his life and to invite death by the people who pay 25 cehts essentially for the chance of seeing him fall. Fewpeople would pay to see motor eycle races on a safe track. But racing on & saucer’s rim makes aviation tame by compart- son, and by comparison a poor drawing cerd.

To the Editor Of the Post-Dispatch. In a recent issue ef yours concerning the e¢x- pcnses of electiona you. quoted Chairman Kort- john as saying that one day. would be sufficient time for the clerks to canvass precincts. This surely is an injustice to those clerks who do their work conscientiously, as prescribed by the law. In a@ canvass made two years ago, out of a to- tal registration of about four hundred, one-half of these voters had removed. The law provides that where a voter has moved, the clerks, must fill out a written notice and leave the same on the premises, even though the premises be vacant or occupied by someone else; this is no. ordinary nctice, but contains all the red tape usually ap- pearing in matters pertaining to the law. In ad- dition to this the clerks must also mail a similar notice. The clerks must also make up, in ink and in a very legible manner, three separate books showing the names and addresses of the entire registration; a separate list of names and ad- dresses of those removed, address the envelopes used to mail notices. and even state the exact lo- cation of the mail box in which these notices are deposited. The writer has made several canvasses and the time required has always been between 15 and 20 hours. After the canvass made two years ago there war some agitation toward allowing the clerks an extra day’s pay which they earned but did not receive. Of course all of the foregoing is based on a conscientious discharge of the duties involved, but any neglect thereof might cause the clerks to be jailed. It is true that considerable money could be saved in various ways, but certainly any saving should not be attempted at the expense of the clerks’ time for canvassing. A CLERK. When Big Men Break Laws. To tne Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The Roosevelt 60-mile-an-hour dash through Forest Park is but another example of the fact that, when a big political leader or high Gov- ernment official visits our city, his managers take it upon themselves to defy local laws, especially the speed ordinance. There is no excuse for this, and it sets a very bad example. Let the big men obey the law. In fact, it is even more incumbent upon them to do so than anybody else, if the laws are to be respected. The police should have shown, in this.and other similar instances, that they are no respectors of persons by arresting whoever was responsible for law breaking. EQUAL RIGHTS. More Transfers Needed. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Why is it that the people living in the territory between Grand and Tower Grove avenues cannot obtain from the United Railways Co. a second transfer from the Park or Compton lines to the Grand avenue line, then either the Florissant avenue line, Arsenal street car or continue south from the Grand avenue line at Meramec street? For instance, a person living at Shenandoah and Thurman, in order to reach the poorhouse, Carondelet, Bellefontaine or Cavalry Cemetery, is obliged to pay two fares or ride all the way downtown. A READER. A Hopeful View. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Anent the editorial in a morning paper bearing the headline, “The Making of Socialists,” it were a fruitless task to misrepresent the issue that gives rise to Socialism, and to resort to political makeshifts to cloud and confuse the unthinking. Marx clearly pointed out and demonstrated be- ycend refutation the genesis and function of capi- talism in society. He has shown that the capital- ist system of production has been a necessary step in the trend of economic evolution—how the economic system has been changing throughout the ages, and how industrial evolution will render capitalism unnecessary. Capitalism has reached fructescence; its flowers droop and wither and will fall to make way for the bud of its successor. It is inevitable and the change will be wrought by economic evolution. * Socialism is not a fantasy nor a plan, neither is it a scheme, but has its roots firmly imbedded in economic determinism. The dangers charged to Socialism are imaginary and lurk only in the conception formed of So- Clalism by our adversaries. Mistakes will be made, but the change will be for the better: in- dustries will increase, knowledge and art accu- mulate and expand, thereby adding to material well-being and moral greatness, ARTHUR KROFT. ‘*Old Glory’’ Flies for All. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I read with sorrow that the Rev. J. Lennox of the Zion African Evangelical Church has thought it necessary to design a separate flag for the American negro. These people came to this country before the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts, and by their faithful, and for 244 years, their unrequited labor they helped the white man to change this country from a wilderness to a garden, They have shed their life blood on the battie- field in defense of the stars and stripes and whether they dwell in Alabama, in California or In Maine, they are entitled to the protection which the American flag guarantees to its citi- zens. The American negro has a flag, and that flag is Old Glory. FORT PILLOW. Weighs. From the Cincinnati Enqutrer.

Labor will do well to examine care- fuly Mr. Roosevelt's proposal for 4 minimum wage scale. Minimum wage sometimes attractive, but everything depends upon the minimum. How is the omnipotent board or bu- reau ‘which the new party promises to establish at- Washington for the contro! of industry and commerce, likely to view the matter? We can get a hint as to that by examining its origin and pur- pose. The idea was first advanced by George W. Perkins of the Steel and HarveSter trusts, neither of them celebrated for generosity toward labor. The fixing of minimum and other wege scales is only a part of the program. It is intended that this board or bu- reau shall license, that is, legalize, trusts. It is *o0 regulate prices and profits. It is to settle offhand all con- troversies as to good trusts and bad trusts.. Its power is to be superior to that of Congress or courts. If such a board or bureau, made up, as it would be, of representatives of Big Business, should conclude to fix the minimum wage at a figure deemed too low by labor, and it should be found that the minimum also had become the maximum, what would be the remedy? A strike against the Steel Trust or the Harvester Trust is a serious matter, but a strike against the United States Gov- ernment conducted in the usual way would be rebellion and nothing else. We have so keen an appreciation of Mr. Perkins’ benevolence and of Mr. Roose- velt’s. fondn-ss for despotic acts sup- ported by force that we entertain no doubt that they would treat it. as such. “If you want a great struggle for lib- erty that will cost you blood,” said Gov. Wilson at Buffalo, ‘‘adopt this program, put yourselves at the disposal of a Providence resident in Washington and then see what will come of it.” Alamo, Not Armageddon.

If money made the birds sing any sweeter, Or made the skies a brighter, better blue; If money made a summer day completer, Or added to the sunset’s gorgeous view; If money made a meadow more entrancing, A shady lane a better place to stroll; If gold could add one bit to my romancing, On money then I’d strive to feed my soul. The sentiment is doubtless very pretty, And the poetry is pleasing for its song, But to one who grows aweary of the city The argument is not so very strong. If poverty could speedily discover The morning meadows beautiful with dew, And scoot around to one thing and another, We'd take a little fling at riches, too. But poverty, alas! is not a motor, And never gets a body any place. The Himalayan heights are no remoter Than the country right at hand in such a case. The only way one ever gets to see it Is to drill around on Sunday in the heat, And if Fortune were so kind as to decree it, We'd like to see it from a cushion seat. ‘—-Detroit Free Press. THE MYSTERY OF VERMONT, Judging by the statistics for the last five or six presidential elections, a Dem- ocrat in Vermont leads a very quiet and ‘isolated life. Far from the habitation of P any other similar theory of government, he ought to be able to enjoy the seren- ity of the hills and the cheery compan- fjonship of the streams. It is not easy to understand why Dem- ocrats should be as scarce in any state as they are in Vermont. While it has not done very much of late, the Demo- cratic theory of government is for Ver- mont as well as for any other state in the Union, and if we win this time we intend visiting the blessings of Demo- cratic rule upon everybody, without re- gre of whether he is a cattleman or, a tapper of hard maple trees. There is absolutely no prejudice in Democracy against anything or anybody in Ver- mont. We can’t understand it. The Difference Between Them, An actor at the Players’ Club in New York said the other day: “T heard in London a good one on Joe Coyne, the American idol of the British stage. Coyne, you know, can't sing a note. “It seems that Mme. Paviova, the Russian dancer, wrote in the visitors’ book at the Peacock Inn in Rowsley: “*T dance because I must.—Anna Pav- lova.’ “Coyne, on a week-end trip to Hadden Hall, put up at the Peacock Inn him- self. In looking over the visitors’ book he saw Paviova's pretty autograph, and took up @ pen and wrote: “*I sing because I can’t.—J.

wave quite a queer husband. me people say it is neither po- lite nor vifely for me to call Jerome “queer,”” and creates a wrong im- | ression, but since he creates that a. pression all by himself, and no “amount of my not calling him queer -would make him any less so, what dif- ference does it make? Moreover, I like him that way. Ten years ago when I married him he Was exactl® as queer as he is to this day. And the queerest thing about him is that he honestly thinks that he is the normal one, and that I am the one who is—to use his own word—“off.”’ Le Mother says that we are both queer— a that it is the price we pay for being ah - stupidly wrapped up in each other, and oP 2) Ae ee Ton ? of that gg eae would “knock sense’’ into like having a dozen children to fuss "over instead of ourselves. = Jerome told her it would knock him ‘o Benseless—and wouldn’t she kindly cut % off half a dozen to start with, till he ha ot used to the general idea. She said | | he was afraid he had not much respect or his mother-in-law. _ And Jerome spoke up nicely and said . he did; that if it were not for mothers- in-law men would not have a scrap of fun, nor any wives, nor comic supple- ge nor divorces, nor anything else nice. — So she had to forgive him. Jerome and I have sometimes dared to speak to each other about our having no little voices around our house—but the times have been rare and rather sa- cred—such times, perhaps, as a June night, a Sunday night, when ovr win- dows were open and we could hear the organ in the church next door, and could smell the white roses in our garden; and we have come to the conclusion that childless parents are necessary in the ‘ world so that there will be love enough around and reach the parentless children, for we have noticed, when we have been taking food, and flowers, and ‘toys to the orphanage and the chil- " @ren’s wards tn hospitals, that the peo: le who have been really doing thin or the little ones, wthings worth while, mre the childless le. As I pointed get to Jerome, a mother who has even one little baby at home- has not truly time to go to hospitals, and take care of Jots of little babies—the way we have.

Magnolia ‘works for us. “But doesn’t her way suit us perfect- “ replied, ‘“‘But that’s God's providence and not yours.” Mother thinks Jerome ts religious on account of just such speeches; she does ot seem to notice that he never uses utiful words except when he should not. As the other night—she was lec- quring him _ the ee of eepi 00 ours, and said: Eroretine hell is paved with poker @ecks and whisky.” And Jerome said Sovouty: i “Then, grave, where is thy victory? .. She thought it was literary and love- “Py of him. Magnolia is something of a problem, h ‘ though. We live away out in the sub- - wurbs where it is quite hard to keep a rvant for very long. But Magnolia . wel been with us for seven years. “The price of Magnolia O’Rourke’’—so -gerome says—"‘is eternal unvigilance.”’ That he means by that is, that we do not to keep a watch on her. Mag- nolia told us at the start that she would remain with us only for as long as she'd “‘be lave be.”” By watching opera- tions with bated breath we found that she meant we were not to give her or- ders, nor advice, nor condemnation, nor _ even praise, but were to turn the house cver to her and pay her wages. It gounds fearful, but it isn’t, for our work ae done, our meals are more than ble, and of friction there is abso- 4 tely none. We lave her be.

Either the frony of fate. or just plain every-day chicken -contrariness made him attach himself to Jerome, or rather, try to, for it must be said of Jerome that his stamina held out, and he ab- solutely refused to be cajoled. But Ca- ruso recognized Jerome as the only oth- er man on the place and stuck to him for company, walking dreamily at Je- rome’s heels all around the yard, pick- ing pufely imaginary crumbs from the hem of Jerome’s trousers, occasionally flying up to tweak Jeromes seal ring, hoping it might be a lump of unripe to- mato or something of thae sort. And Jerome had to put him to bed every night, for the others would go without him, and Caruso would fly to the edge of the flower box outside the dining- room window and would hump up his feathers miserably and croon a sort of ‘Father, dear father, come home with me now,” till Jerome would crash up from the table. dash out. grab Caruso by the pee md legs and slip him into the 7 lla Was just what Caruso want- Intelligent companionship and fatherly. attentions at bedtime soon fattened Ca- ruso to the prime eating stage. Even I could see that. Up to the last minute I honestly did not think Jerome could do it, even though I heard him sharpening the ax. I thought it. was just to frighten me. Moreover I made the mistake of being arch. Archness may be a potent charm in the unwedded, but it is a wife’s death Warrant. It was Caruso’s, anyhow. I said, smilingly: ‘Sharpen it all you please, but I know you havn’t stamina enough to kill that chicken.’’ That decided him to do it. What I should have said, of course, was, “‘Go ahead, you brute. It’s just like you.”’ Then he would have shown me at any price that it wasn’t. I rather think he weakened a trifle and tried to shift the actual ‘responsi- bility, for when he left me, I presently heard Magnolia say, ‘‘No, sir. That I won't, sir. Not for much and more than much.” He evidently tried her a sec- ond time, for again her voice rose, ‘I may earn me livin’ an’ earn it hard and thankless, but I’m no headsman.’’ Then he stalked out into the back ard. I watched him from :the window. n one hand he had the terrible ax. Ca- ruso admired it first with one eye and then with the other. Caruso had abso- lutely no premonitions. Even when Je- down and swung him up egs, Caruso just gave a surprised little “‘Crrk!”’ at the unusual daylight at- tention, and curled his neck up ‘to take . closer look at the tomato-colored ring. I got all weak and ill and trembly and ran up to my room and shut the door and opened Omar Khayyam’s “Rubai- yat.”’ I generally get from it peace for all occasions. But I chanced upon no other line but this: : “The wine of life is oozing drop b drop.” It was awful! When things were all over I heard our front gate click, and I looked out of the upstairs window in time to see Jerome stalking wildly from the house. He looked white and very miserable. And I was giad of it. He deserved to suffer. T kept upstairs for ages. Hoping against hope. I finally called to ag- nolia down the speaking tube, and asked her what we were going to have for dinner. “The chicken, av coorse. And I say boiled—with crame gravy.’’ Poor Caruso! Jerome came back after a while, after a long while, just as dinner was being served. I’d been crying so that I was a sight and had to cologne my eyes and powder before I look fit to sit at the table. I nearly wept afresh to see Ca- ruso upside down on a dish with sauce over him and bits of parsley. I simply couldn’t eat him. But I did not say so to Jerome. There’s no sense in thinking so much of an animal that you don’t think anything of your husband. So I let Jerome serve me. Then I covered my piece of Caruso all over. with mashed potato. Jerome would néver be able to tell what it was I had left. And the way he tucked into Caruso was a truly sorrowful sight. I never thought it of Jerome. A woman may live with a man 10 years and know very little about the coarser side of him after all. I was hungry, and chicken hungry, too, but Caruso would have choked me. We never exchanged a word. And then a ghostly thing happened— outside upon the edge of the flower box, a fowl uttered and perched—just like “The Raven. ‘ “Crrk!”’ it begged, invitationally. Jerome pushed back his chair, stamped out, grabbed the fowl by resistless legs, and disappeared toward the chicken Not till he returned and sat down again did I —— my vanished voice. “Wasn't it Caruso?” I gasped. “It was,” said Jerome. His tone added, “Now come on.” “Then,” said I, sweeping the mashed potate from the fragment on my plate and dabbing it accusingly with a fork, ‘twho ts this?’’ “That,’’ said Jerome, pointedly, ‘4s a dressed fowl bought of your avaricious ping Goggin at a cost of a dollar and sixty cents. Here he glared at me defiantly, fan- cying I was going to make fun of him because he was too soft-hearted to be a murderer, but instead IT jumped up (tak- ing a big bite first, Y was #0 hungry!) and ran around to him and kissed him from one ear right down his dear, good neck clear around to the other ear. He drew a deep breath. @ Was s0 sled aot. - be go ed. m ave known he could not hav killed and eaten Caruso. For that's the kind of queer he is—a lovely queer. *Copyright. 1911, by The Shortstory Pub- if Co. t lishing, © sec yrigh pocured in Great Brit.

ead ce cX MBROISE PARE was the official surgeon to the French army in his time. He accompanied all the military operations of Fran- cis I, King of France. He was so adored and beloved by the men in the army that they were often inspired to deetis of heroism when they knew their be- loved surgeon was among them. It is said that on- one occasion the French army was besiegsd and in imminent dan- ger of defeat. Report was spread that Pare had arrived and was in the army’s midst. This report so inspired the sol- diers with enthusiasm and courage that they rallied, turning to attack, and changed certain defeat into victory. Such was the esteem in which Pare was held because of his originality and his skill as a surgeon. Ambroise Pare was born fn 1510 at La- val Province of Maine, France. He be- gan iMe as an apprentice to a barber surgeon. For, in those days, the art ef surgery was practiced only by bar- bers, farriers, cobblers and tinkers. It was regarded as below the dignity of a gentleman and scholar to handle the lancet or take care of wounds. The surgeons in the armies had to act also as barbers to the higher officers of the army. It may have been very fine to be shaved by a surgeon, but it must: have been very awkward to be operated on by a barber, During his apprenticeship Pare be- came a student at the Hotel Dieu and later a pupil of the renowned anatomist, Sylvius. He was a very proficient stu- EPOCH MAKERS « in MEDICIN By J. A. HUSIK, M. D.

He was the first surgeon to invent the method of: ligating or tying large arteries. -In this way he saved the lives of thousands of soldiers who were otherwise doomed to death from bleeding or blood poisoning. He in- vented the operation for the correction of harelip, in use to the present day. Ambroise Pare was not recognized by the doctors of his own day. But he wrote mary books on anatomy and sur- gery, which were later translated into other languages and studied by physi- cians all over the world. Pare’s skill as a surgeon endeared him not only to the men of the army. The King of France held him in great esteem for his ability and employed him as his own physician. During the night of. the great massacre of St. Bar- tholomew, when thousands of Hugue- nots were- killed, the, life of Pare, who was also a -Huguenot, was _ saved through the .personal exertions of the King himself. vat eft .-t) Pare placed surgery apan,the pedestal of a dignified art and- from. his, day it progressed slowly, till today it has be- come the highest branch of. medical art and science. Pare died in France in 1590, after a life that deservedly ,placed him among the epoch makers in medi- cine.

fore the sleeper’s consciousness is an allegorical or symbolical expression of the ideas which be- long to his thought world, writes the Rev. Samuel McComb, D. D., in the Century. Why should dreams take on an allegorical dress? Why are they not, as a rule, a MHIiteral transference of events and experiences from a waking state to a sleeping state? The answer is, because the normal waking con- sciousness which acts as a kind of check upon painful or disagreeable thoughis and feelings, relaxes its activities dur- ing sleep, and allows these thougats and feelings to pass into consciousness, only, however, when their motives have been disguised under a hidden mass of symbolism. If it were not so, if dreams literally reflected the conflicts and yearnings of the workaday world, they would set up such emotional excitement as would arouse the waking conscious- ness, and so make an end of sleep. Hence the valuable reflection is forced upon us that dreams fulfil the important function of presefving sleep. They are thus seen to bear vitally upon our health and happiness. Another interesting question which modern investigation has been able to anewer is: Out of what materials are SD How Women Can Save Money (Elia Ellis in the Arch.) “Women gave a good part of the cost of many dainty aids to beauty if they purchase the necessary ingredients at the drug store and mix them at home.

Nothing can coms into our dreams that has not entered ‘into our past experiences. The thoughts of the mental state immediately preced- ing sleep are hard to recover afterward, but when they are recovered they are found to persist in our dreams. But we may go farther than this. There is nothing incredible in the supposition that, written, as it were, with invisible ink on our nervous systems are charac- ters inherited from our most distant an- cestors.

When He Calls. ALLING etiquette seems a Dit hazy in the minds of many of you who read this column. May I give you a few general hints? A girl's mother or her chaperon may properly ask a young man to call, but-.the girl herself should not do so. On the other hand, the young man may ask her if she will permit him to come to see her. It igs not necessary to serve refresh- ments during an ordinary evening call. If any are served, they should be of the simplest variety. It is customary not to arrive before 8 and not to stay later than 10:30. But I admit that the matter of hours differs in different circles. If the mother is in the room when the young man arrives, it is not nec- essary or usual for her to remain in the room during the entire evening. Acknowledgments. | * R.” writes: “How soon Is it .

WOMAN'S love will stretch over a multitude of a man’s sins, but her respect is snapped at his first drop from the pedestal. house.

One reason why long engagements are becoming so fashionable is that it takes so much time to procure the preliminary divorces, to turn into a cook or @ grub the moment the clergyman pronounces thé magic words over her.

Men write poetry about the hand that cooks the meals and rocks the cradle—and then spend their time kissing the hand that does nothing but keep itself manjgured. When the dalliance has worn off of love one should find the pure crystal of friendship underneath; otherwise it is not the real thing, but a spurious jewel. All’s dare in love and war.

STEADY, TRADE IN WALL STREET rAIR Prices Irregular in Early Market — London Firm to Slight Advance.

By Lensed Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, Sept. 4—The Evening . Post in its copyrighted financial review today says: “That the Stock Exchange should to- Gay have greeted the Vermont election news with continued inactivity, and with only a trifling rise in prices, might have Signified either that the financial com- munity does not consider that vote to ‘have cleared up the financial outlook, or that the market’s recent prolonged ee - was really inspired by some- thing else. “As @ matter of fact, the disposition to accept the results of yesterday’ s Ver- mont voting as a blow to the third party's expectations was practically universal; such a conclusion being based on the fact that the Republican plural- tty, in this barometric state, is shown to have been shot to pieces by the party’s dissensions, while the Demo- cratic rty cast its normal] vote and in- creased it considerably by drawing from its opponents. How Tradition Kans. “In so far as concerns the tradition that, when Vermont's Republic an _plu- rality in September falls below 25,000, the Democratic party carrieg the coun- try in November, yesterday's figures Beem to be explicit; for not only does the regular Republican candidate show @ plurality of only some 5000 over the next highest on the list, but the Re- publican and third party vote combined, as reported in this morning’s dispatches, Tan less than 20,000 ahead of the Demo- crats. “But Wall street remained on the whole impassive. Some of the more imagimative occupants of that com- munity professed to believe that‘ ‘no aaatorit yand the election thrown into the Legislature’ in Vermont must ortend a similar national outcome n November, “Opening with no essential changes, and with apparently little inclina- tion to do business, the stock market moved up fractionally in the early hours, one or two stocks advancing a point or more. Thereafter, prices receded slightly, but in the end stood ‘firm, generally at slight over yesterday. Money Rates Are Firm. There was little in the news to in- fluence values. Money rates went no higher, though the tendency was towards continued firmness.
