A CITY OOURTsHIP.
IRON THE ST. LOUIS MIRROR.

FhOM THE ST, LOUIS hlkROh'
The proper place for counting,
By the story books reporting,
Is some lane or meadow pathway
Out OF sight OF town,
With the sweetness blowing over
The fields of bean and clover,
And the skylark dropping earthward
As the sun goes down.
But I've met my little Sally
A. the mouth OF Dawson's alley
And we've wandered on together
To the dome OF Paul's
mid the stately crowd that passes,
Meath the harlnG lamps and gases,
And the shouting OF the drivers
And the ~newsDoys' calls.
And the lily OF the valley
That l gave my little sally,
Is the faded penny b0qlet
That a flower girl sells.
She's never seen one growing,
And it's easy to be showing,
For its birthplace Is the dreamland
That's beyOn' Bow Bells.
Oh II pains me In our Walking,
Ali the uaths and shameful talking,
And the folks that touch her brushing
And the g%lances bold;
But though evil things may touch her
They can neither stain nor smutch her
For Gle turns The dir, to sweetness
As q flower the mold.
All, It's not iD the country places,
mid the fields and ample faces,
Out Of sight and sound Of evil
That q pure heart grows;
But 'tis here ia London City,
mid the sin aud shame and pity,
That q pure heart draws Its purcness
From the wrong It knows.
When my suily's sweetness found me
Twas like the men around me.
i was coarse and low and selfish
Like the beast that dies;
But her grace began to win me
And my heart was changed within me
And learned to pray from gazing
In my darllng's eyes.

Wants Agents Taxed

Wants Agents Taxed
Editor Herald There is some annoy
anoe to the public that should be stopped
BY a license fee OF not less than IS per
day for book agents, agents for enlarged
portraits, etc., and larger proportionate
amount for agents of sewing machines,
pianos, etc. One cause Of hard times is
caused BY these agents who are offered
. large commission or guaranteed salary
these branches warrant to take up the
work.
An agent is sometimes put under a
guaranteed contract for specified time
at a good salary but il his sales fail to
make up the amount OF the salary he Is
sent off into territory where his ex-
penses will be so large it will not Justify
him to 60 and he is forced to cease his
contract and lose the time he has
worked.
Where the iniusticssc sscomes IN is the en-
ormous prosts the purchaser rnust pay
and the many agents he supports In the
purchase ofione article.
For instance take subscription book
which will cost the su bscriber say IS.
The solicitor receives commission OF 4O
per cent or So, the general agent gets an
additional profit OF 20 per cent or 81, and
the manager or house controlling the
work 20 per cent or 81, the subscriber
paying three commissions or a total OF
80 per cent or 81 profit Tor a book which
the publisher sells Tor about 81, and which
should be sold to subscribers for not to
exceed So.
As justice to legitimately establish Cd
business houses who are regularly engag.
ed in business and have their capital IN
vested and homes established in their
respective communities and who contrib
ute to the support of their local towns
and their respective festivals and orsani-
cations the public and legitimate busi-
ness should be protected. +.

LIBRARY HOURS

Tomorrow the trustees OF the public
library hold their regular monthly meet
ing. 1t is to DO hoped that one Of the
first things they do will he TO turn down
the request OF the council for a reduction
of library hours: and the next change
of the closing time from $3.50 to 10 p. Ill.
It has been definitely ascertained that
the saving in the liprary's gas bill, If the
hours for the public we're reduced by
thirty minutes. would amount to the inn
portant sum of S. per month. According
to the same calculation, an addition to
the present time of half an hour would
increase the Illuminating expense to a
similar extent. This, of course, would
mean an increase instead uf dim minish-
ment of library expenses as was intended,
but it would be bit of possible extrav-
agance that would meet the emphatic ap.
proval OF everyone who appreciates the
fact that the very class of people for
whom the reading and reference rooms of
the library are especially intended but
insufficiently enjoy the benefits Of these
departments, because of their early clos
ing.

ON THE DEMOCRATIC POSITION

The defeat of the Democratic state and
legislative tickets in New York. while
not exactly furnishing any reason for the
party elsewhere rejoicing was not en-
tirely unexpected and was in measure
really deserved, aside from any consider
alton of its Identification with Senator
Hills political fortunes.
Its attitude on the excise question bore
the unm istakable impress OF the Hill
stripe Of policy. It was one OF triting
with q vital question of personal liberty.
In declaring for local option regarding
sumptuary legislation, ths New York De-
mocracy truckled to the enemies OF indi
vidual rights.
If there is any principle that is sacred
to the party of Jefferson, it is that OF the
absolute freedom OF the individual in all
that purely pertains to himself.
man has natural and inalienable
right to eat and drink what be plsases,
and when he desires, ana to spend any
day, be it Sundsy or Monday, in the way
that suits him best, 80 long as he does
not infringe on the equal rights OF his
fellow men.
Natural rights are not properly subject
to local option, for they are attributes
with which neither local, state nor fed
eral legislators have any right to meddls.
Thev are not conferred by legislative
bodies. but are born with the individual,
just as much as the right to the use OF
the air, the sun and the earth. 1t is for
the protection of people in their exercise
that governments we're originally lnstl-
tuted among men.
The ways and means Of protecting peo-
pie in their inherent rights are properly
the subjects of legislation but not the
rights themselves and, as local self gov
eminent is Democratic principle, local
option regarding the kind of ways and
means that should be adopted for con-
serving the rights of mon is Dem ocratic.
That Is the only kind of local option u
Democratic organization can consistently
favor. There is no moro justification in
principle for the sub ission of question
of personal liberty to vote Of 1000 people
under the guise of local option, than
there is in submitting it to 1000 The
tyranny of a small mum ber OF people is
none the less CALLING than that of a large
mum Der, and has no better reason for ex-
istence.
The Democracy of New York, to be con-
sistent with the fundamental doctrines.
should have opposed openly and unquali-
fsdly the retention Of any law that en-
croxches on personal freedom as the ex-
else law does. Such an enactment should
receive no show of tolerance. no matter
how limited Its application, from any
party founded on the recognition OF the
natural rights of man.

LITTLE BOY BLUR
EUGENE FIELD

The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and staunch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his musket molds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was
new
And the soldier passing fair,
And that was the time when our Little
Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
Now, don't you go till come" be said,
"And don't you MAKE any noise u
So toddling off to his trundle-b bed
He dreampt OF the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming, an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are
long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Aye. faithful to Little Boy Blue they
stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
The smile of a little face
And they wonder, as waiting these long
years through,
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them
there,

The desire Of the council to economic
by cutting down tho gas bill of the
library suggests the possibility Of binding
some otner place offering inducements
for the application of :he pruning knife.
One place that seems to have escaped the
saving eyes of the municipal Legislators
Is that Of captain of the chaingang. This
entirely superfiuous Official is drawing
down SO per month from the treasury of
the city, nearly three times as much as
the council expected to save by reducing
library time half an hour, and fourteen
times as much as will be actually saved
if the reduction Is made. The chaingang
properly belongs in the custody OF the
police department, and should be put
there as early as practicable.

MORRIS RoTHsCHILD's CASE

To Be Investigated by the United States
 Ambassador to Germany.
 Bath, N. Y., Oct. 16.-Hon. J. F. Park hurst, counsel for Morris Rothschild, of this village, received word from Secre- tary Olney yesterday that instruction had been given to the United States am- bassador to Germany to lay Rothschild' S case before the imperial government at Berlin.
 Mr. Rothschild left the United States in May for Germany to visit his father, taking with him his naturalization pa- pers and regular United States passport, signed by Secretary Gresham. Shortly after his arrival he was arrested and inn prisoned as a deserter from the German army. After two days in jail he was brought before a military court and a1- lowed to pay a fine of SIS and give bail, pending the decision of the matter by military officials at Berlin. He did not wait for the decision, but left Germany.
 Later the German authorities remitted his proposed imprisonment of six weeks, but retained fthe fine, thus asserting their claim upon a United States citizen to serve in the German army.

Puro EGoG.


 Butterine is much abused product. AS a matter of fact it is pure, sweet, wholesome, and infinitely preferable to ordinary country butter. A special correspondent of this paper recently visited the factory owned and operated by the Armour Packing Co.,, of Kansas City, manufacturers of the widely ad- vertised Silver Churn Butterine. A five story building Is perfectly fitted for the scientific preparation of this food product. Everything is spotlessly clean; all appliances are the latest and most improved, and every precaution is taken to secure the production of an absolutely pure and wholesome food. All processes are under the direction of a foreign chemist who has made the sl1ilIful combination of pure sweet fats the study of his life.
 Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York City, says: '"The product is palatable and wholesome and regard it as 8 most valuable article of food"
 Prof. J. s. w. Arnold, Medical De- partment, University, of New York, says: "A blessing for the poor, and in every way a perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article of food"

HON. GEORGE C. HUNT,

Hon. George c. Hunt. one of Jackson county'S most prominent citizens, is in the city. MT Hunt says the democrats of Jackson are standing firm for the free coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to l, and are anXiously awaiting an opportunity to give a solid delegation for the nomination of Johnston for governor.
 Colonel Stallings' speech at Scottsboro, he said was one of the best he ever heard and every word he uttered went straight to the mark, and furnished food for thought.
 The cotton crop, says MT. Hunt, is turning out better in his section than ex- pected and the increase in price will bring the value of the crop about up to the average.
