IN recent number of the St. Louis
Republic appears an account of lady
who, as she claimed. could hardly bear
to ride a wheel because of the ants and
other insects that she perforce must
kill with her rubber tires. In the
dawn of the twentieth century this
sounds little strange, to say the least.
In the light of scientific research we
learn that, of truth, in the midst of
life there is death. With every sup
of water we destroy the lives of many
thousand microscopic insects. At al
most every move we have reason to
believe we destroy the life of some
creature of the Great God of Love. In
fact, life is one grand round of TRACE
dies. But may we not hope that in
all forms of life there is advancement?
That death is only the open door to a
higher and happier state of being?
WHO can tell" said Solomon, 1.-The
SpIFlb VI bH0 Ludu LAdG SOOlA ~" al u,
or the spirit of the beast that goeth
downward to the Earth?" If it be true
that the beast hath spirit, may it not
also be true that that spirit may ad-
vance, step by step, until the highest
form of life on this planet shall have
been reached? Matter is indistructi-
BILE. Its form may be changed, but it
remains always in some form. May it
not also be true that all life, emanating,
as it does. from God, the source of life,
light and love, is indestructible? What
is Man that thou art mindful of him?"
Is he more worthy of life eternal than
the lower animals? Are they not also
Gods creatures? Much wisdom is
shown by the ant, the bee. the birds,
and many animals. Was all this Gre
ated to be thrown away? Many like
questions spring up in the human mind
that must forever remain unanswered.
And yet We long to pierce the mist that
hangs over the future of all the world.
In the meantime. however, we continue
to destroy life, for to cease means death
to US. We are not accountable for our

of 1862, 1913 gallons were shipped to
France alone. We are told that France
and Italy take half of our entire pro-
duct of cotton seed oil. The producers
of olive oil in those countries take the
cotton seed oil, mix it with olive oil,
and send it back to US in millions OF
gallons. A Californian who is inter-
ested in olive growing after investigat-
ing in those countries said that they
shipped more .'olive oil'' abroad than
their entire olive crops could possibly
produce. The government chemists
tell US that the cotton seed oil is as
pure and wholesome as the best olive
oil. and more1Putritious. That being
the case, the~cotton seed oil is likely
to hold its own.

WE see in Tuesdays Republic that
San era of prosperity is dawning," the
statement being based on what a st.
Louis broker heard on a recent trip to
New York and Chicago. The faith
that removes mountains pertains to the
goldbug prophet. He reverses the
scriptural saying: he has eyes that
see big things where nothing is; ears
that hear it thunder while reigns the
quietude of death; and a palate that
tastes the ambrosia of the gods in
ditch-water. He is fearfully and won

Murphy Case to Pass to the
Jury Tomorrow.
FAMOUS TRIAL NEAR AN ENI

SENATOR GRAY SAYS THAT 1T IS
LAWFUL TO CARRY ARMS TO A
FOREIGN COUNTRY PROVIDING
THERE is NO MILITARY ORGANI-
zATION.
When the hearing in the Murphy
case was resumed in the United States
Court this morning, Judge Bradford
instructed the attorneys for the prose
cution and for the defence to submit
their prayers to the court and jury.
United States District Attorney Van
degrift opened for the government and
asked the court to instruct the jury
that any combination of men organ
lied in the United States. and formed
as q military organization TO be used
against q friendly power was a direct
violation of the neutrality laws of this
country. That was the character Of
the organization which the Laurada
carried to Cuba and the district attor-
ney used IL effectively before the jury,
as It was the main point in the case.
Senator Gray objected TO the prayers
OF the district attorney and said that
they did not apply to the case. He
held that arms and ammunition might
have been aboard the ship, but the
government had failed to prove that
the Laurada, under Murphy's COM
mand, carried a military expedition to
Cuba. In his prayers he said that II
was not against the laws of the United
States to carry arms to "A foreign coun-
try. He contended that it was lawful
