Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1901-03-14

The reception accorded today
to former Governor D. r.
Francis and Mr. Corwin H.
Spencer is the spontaneous eX.
preston of the recognition .and
appreciation by the people of
st. Louis of the splendid public
service rendered the city in
Washington. 1t is the highest
form of honor because it is a
voluntary popular tribute to
pure and unselfish public ser.
vice, performed with exception
al skill and devotion. The
honor is rendered personally
and directly to Messrs. Francis
and Spencer-Mr. Cobb, the
other member of the delegation,
being absent-as the leaders in
the work, but it is shared by
their helpers. While giving
special thanks to these three
st. Louisans, the ST. Louis peo-
pie appreciate the valuable ser
ces.of.Cbairman Tawney f the
Exposition Committee; Sena
tors Vest Cockrell and Allison,
the st. Louis delegation, and
other Senators and Congress-
men whose labors and votes aid
ed st. Louis. The gratitude of
Il great city for unselfiish p ub.
lie service is worth striving for.
1t is well deserved in this case.

After the the sermon the clergyman began the notice of the baptismal ser vice, thus: "All those having children and desiring to have them baptized will bring them this afternoon. At this point the deaf elder, hearing the men, tion of children, supposed 1t was something in reference to his books and, rising, said: "And all those having none, and desiring them, will be supplied by me for the sum of , cents"

He Was Sick.

"That boy of mine has got to turn over new leaf," declared the we'll known citizen, who, 1t is doubtful, if he really knows how much he is worth. "E isn't so much a question of money as it is teaching him its value. He has been away most of the summer and the letters he has written home have been short, but to the point-more money.
 Growing tired at last of his repeated demands upon my purse, I ceased replying to them. Inside of two weeks 1 received three more demands, but ignored them all. Then he wired me and 1 made no answer.
 "'Send money quick. Am sick, he wired again.
 "'With what?' I telegraphed back.
 "'With waiting for cash, he answered, collect.
 "He got it. But l am going to have a talk with him when he gets back. It is time that he was doing something else besides spending money" Detroit Free Press.

The new editor of the St. Johns Herald demonstrated in an editorial" last week pertain ing to the territorial prison, that all he needs to complete the combination is the long ears; he has the bray and other charac- teristics all right enough. The idea of Senator Ives trying to compel Governor Murphy to influence the Board of Control to spend the S25,O00 in improv- ing and enlarging the territorial prison, considering the historic fact that the 21st legislature ap. propriated the money for that expressed purpose, is too absurd to talk about.

How a Woman Was Initiated.

A woman of Bay City, Michi-
 gan, disguised herself as a man and clerked in a store fora year,
 and then applied. for member ship in the Knights of Pythias and was initiated. During the work of the third degree her sex was discovered. It seems that in the third degree they have an India rubber rat and a celluloid snake, which run by clock-work inside, and which are very natu- ral indeed. They let them run at the candidates to see If they will finch. When the snake ran out at the girl she kept her nerve all right; but when the rat tried to run up her trousers leg she grabbed her imaginary skirts ln both hands ana jumped up on the refrigerator standing near (which is used in the work of the fourth degree), anc screamed bloody murder. The girl is member of the order however, and there is no helI for it. This affair may open the leyes of members of secret socie
 ties and cause them to investi

RESERVOIRS.

The forests are natural reSer- voirs. By restraining the streams in flood and replenishing them in drought they make possible the use of waters otherwise wasted. They prevent the soil f1om washing, and so protect the storage reservoirs from fill ing up with silt, Forest conser- vation is therefore an essential condition Of water conservation.
 The forests alone cannot, how ever, fully regulate and conserve the waters of the arid region. Great storage works are neces- sary to equalize the flow of streams and to save the flood waters. Their construction has been exclusively shown to be an undertaking too vast for prl- yate effort. Nor can it be best accomplished by the individual states acting alone. Far-reach' ing interstate problems are in volved: and the resources of sin gle states would often be made quate. It is properly a national function, at least in some of It's features. It is as right for the national government to make the streams and rivers of the arid regions useful by engineering works for water storage as to make useful the rivers and har' bors of the humid region by en- gineering works of another kind The storing of the floods in res ervoirs at the head waters of oul rivers is but an enlargement ot our present policy of river con
 trol, under which levees are built on the lower reaches of the same streams.
 The government should con strrt and maintain these reser
 voirs as it does other public
 works. Where their purpose i:
 to regulate the flow of streams
 the water should be turned free Ily into the channels in the dry season to take the same cours' under the same laws as the natu
 ral fiow.-Extract from the Pres

When the United States sent armies to Cuba and Porto Rico it clinched for all time the un- written law of the Monroe doc urine. If there is any nation of the old world which does not acknowledge our supremacy in the new, it is not likely to so state unless it is prepared to fol- low it up with declaration of war.
 European ambitions may chafe at our reiteration of this doc urine from to time, but they will never be able to combine to over throw it. England once wanted us to ask the nations of Europe to guarantee the neutrality of the Nicaragua canal. This we very promptly refused to do, and the political security of the West ern Hemisphere is just as safe in our keeping as the Nicaragua canal will be.
 Not so very long ago Chas. Emory Smith, postmaster gen eral, put the matter very strong ly when he said: "We may have to abandon the Monroe doctrine or fight for it, and we will never abandon it."

The Schley court Of inquiry has reached a verdict condemn ing the admiral on eleven differ ent counts. The majority opin- ion goes on to state that Admiral Schley should have done this and he shouldn't have done that; that he "caused the Texas to back" that ''he did injustice to Hodgeson," and a lot more irrel- levant rot. However, it is mo- ticeable that they don't accuse him of doing injustice to the Spanish fleet at Santiago.

A rather amusing incident is
 told as having occurred recently at a church in Connecticut, not many miles from Fairfield. The clergyman, it would appear, de sired to call the attention of his congregation to the fact that it being the last Sunday in the month he would administer the rite Of baptism to children. Pre- vious to bis having entered the pulpit he had received from one
