The program was greatly enhanced

Miss Brosius was irresistible in the
dialect number, "Who broke up de
Meetin'' and rounds of applause attest
ed the pleasure which she had given
the audience.
Miss Shale gave chow the La Rue
stakes were lost" with a vivldness and
pathos that carried every listener SYM
pathetically to the scene. And when
she had finished fearful eyes silently
spoke the thanks of ar admiriug
audience.
Miss Janet Westgate read an ex-
%cellent essay, comprehensive In It's
treatment, concise in dictlon, and
%abundantly illustrative of the facs that
without the poet the hero would re-
main TO the world unknown.
Miss Grinstead played very nicely the
Third Dream of Love by List. And
Misses Lyons and Biggs contributed
largely to the pleasure of the program
by the vocal and violin selections.
The hall was most tastefully decora-
ted in white and gold and at the close
of the program delicious ice and cakes
were served,
At eleven O'Clock the guests retired,
the society was called to order and
twelve new members were added to
dumas distinguished roll.

The difference.

The Difference.
The Kansas City Journal of October
lst says editorially;
ut may be true, as Senator Harris
alleges, that shoes are cheaper 10 En-
gland than 10 this country, on account
of our tariff. But it is also true that
English worklngmen have less money
to buy shoes with than the working
men Of this countryside on account
Of our tariff.
In the Kansas City Journal Of Sep
TENDER 30th-the day before-is
printed the interview with Senator
Harris in which all he was reported to
have said upon this subject was:
81 found that l could buy Ameyican
meat in London cheaper than l can
buy it in this country. All Ameyiean
cloth goods can lie bought there
cheaper than here. W. are getting
everything sky high in this country
because the companies here have no
competition
Would the journal like to admit
that the American trusts are enabled
to show these special favors to the
London consumers ca account OF tour
tariff

that Couut 4 chy gave a shooting

The Amendments.
On another page will be found the
proposed amendments TO the consti-
tuition Of Missouri. The first, second,
and seventh are OF general application
aud interest; the rest are Of local ap-
pllcation.
BY the first, all property is made
liable Tor taxes at the residence OF
the owner, instead of at the place
whore it is located.
BY the second, counties are per-
mitted to adopt township organiza-
tion by a majority Of those voting
at a general election.
By the third, the city Of ST. Louis
may amend its charter more readily
and may under charter have n leg
islative house instead of two.
BY the fourth, the city OF st. Louis
is permitted to levy taxes for city
purposes at the same rate as if it we're
a county.
BY the fifth, cities Of more than
100, 900 inhabitants are permitted to
increase school tax to so cents on
the, 500 instead of 40 cents as now.
BY the sixth, St. Louis and Kansas
city are permitted to issue bonds not
to extend 5 per cent Of the assessed
valuation of city property, exclusive
of waterworks bonds now outstanding.
BY the seventh, the state interest
tax is reduced from 10 cents On the
500 to three cents, and permission
is given to continue the school fund
certificates, to be refunded from time
to time at such rate of interest as
may be established by law. Permiss-
ion is also given to invest any perma-
nent funds of the public schools ac-
cumulated from any Source hereafter
in registered county or municipal
bonds instead of only state or United
States bonds as now.
By the eighth, cities having a pop
ulation OF from 1000 tol30, 600 popu-
lation may incur an additional 5 per
cent Indebtedness for the purpose Of
purchasing or constructing municipal
waterworks or lighting plant.
All the proposed amendments ex-
cept the first seem to be rendered
necessary by changed conditions.
There is no question about large
cities requiring a larger maximum
school tax to provide for the educa-
tion Of their larger number Of poor
and foreign population. There is nc
question about u large cities re-
quiring more general revenue than
they are permitted to take in order tC
provide good water, sanitation, street
improvement, etc. There is a strong
desire upon the part Of many towns
to make trial Of municipal ownership
of waterworks and lighting plants
and there seems to be no good reason
why they may not be permitted tt
try it. The first amendment is in
tended to repeal the amendment
adopted two years ago, which was de
signed to get at deeds Of trust arc
mortgages. Two years ago this was
burning issue; now the people seen
to have forgotten it, or else they hayl
come to the conclusion that it is as wei
to facilitate tax lodging and perjur,
as to pay higher interest rates. PEG
pie seem to have come to the conclu
sion that a law Of nature cannot b,
amended as easily as a state consti
tuition
