The Sedalia Capital says that Prof.

superintendent Of public instruction,
has stirred up the "hlrelings OF the
American Book Company and pro-
voked the active resentment Of that
''school book octopus, y etc by HIS
advocacy Of a free text. book law. just
why the octopus should object to a
free textbook law is not made clear.
Does the Capital understand that the
school children would need fewer
books under the free Textbook

Prof White to have The children con

Grosvenor to Morgan.

On last Sunday Congressman Gros-
venor OF Ohio, who was the personal
representative Of Mckinley 90 the
floor Of the house, telegraphed to @.
A, Grlscom, president Of ]. P%ierpont
Morgan's Shipping Trust as follows;
"Mr. Morgan,if he can interfere and
effect settlement now, would establish
himself 10 a position stronger than
any living American. The result
would react f%ayorably upon all his real
enterprises. 1t would be better from
a mere selfish standpoint than all the
anthracite coal in the country is
worth, but from the humanitarian
standpoint it would be a benefaction.
II go home tomorrow to face 9,e0O
mad coal miners with a miner candi-
date against me-"
What does he mean by establishing
himself in a position stronger than
any living American?n He seems
strong enough now. What does he
mean by the result "reacting favora-
bly, upon all his enterprises" Does
MIR. Grosvenor mean to promise him
anything? What does he near by the
result being better for him ethan all
the anthracite coal in the country is
WORTH" Does he mean to bargain
for the passage Of the Ship subsidy
bill and to drop the prosecution Of the
Northern Security company? Does
he mean that the interests OF the
trusts and the trust magnates are
wrapped up with the interests OF
Grosvenor and the republican party?
This is about The basest expressions
of all the base expressions OF this
basest Of party leaders.

R~oosEvELTs SURRENDER.

The following extract from President ROoseydts Cincinnati
speech is printed for the benefit OF those who have faith in
Roosevelt repubncauism for relief from tariff robbery. Speaking
Of combinations in restraint Of trade, he said:
We cannot get rid Of hem-even fl were not I'M
desirable that we should get rid OF them-and our
instant duty is to try to accommodate our social, eco
nomic and legislative life TO them, and to frame a system
Of law and conduct under which we shall get out Of them
the utmost possible benefit and the least amount Of
harm. y \ y The real evils connected with the
trusts cannot be remedied by any change in the tariff
laws. The trusts can be damaged by d%eprving them of
the benefit of a protective tariff only on condition of
damaging all their smaller competitors and all the wage
earners employed in the industry. \ \ = In other
words, the question of regulating trusts with a view to
minimizing or a~bolshing the evils existent in them is
separate and apart from the question of tariff revision.

Bryan on the Strike.

Bryan on the Strike.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found
five suggestions by Mr.. Bryan on
remedying the coal strike situation and
otber such conditions Mr.. Bryan has
entirely too much faith in statutes and
boards. We have IN Missouri a statute
covering precisely the ground of one of
Mr.. Bryau's suggestions, viz, forbid
ding railroad companies to engage in
the mining OF coal except for their own
use. 1t puts the railroads to a little
trouble and expense to incorporate
their min0s under another name, but
that is all. Free trade and criminal
prosecution will cure every durable case
of trusl and monopoly evil, aud this
whether the aggression be on the part
Of capital or on the part Of labor.

JOSHING THE
DEMOCRATS

Every Democratic editor
and orator who does nothing
but abuse the Republican
party, bears witness to the ac-
curacy of Mr.. Whitney's de-
claration that the Democracy
is without an issue or a man.
Senator Carmac says that
Democrats are agreed upon
the issue, but forgets to add
that the one issue which over
shodows all others IN the De-
mocratic mind is this: How
can we break in?"
Senator Test says: "A
financial panic will bring about
Democratic success" If the
senator willonly trapspose the
sentence, putting the last part
first, the truth will be appa-
rent. That is just what Demo-
cratic success did in 1892.
Tinkering with the tariff
can wait till the times are
worse than they are now. In
this particular we may learn
from that old inscription in
the way of confession on a
country tombstone II was
we'll, | wanted to get better,
and here l lie."
"Well. Dave" said Mr..
Cleveland, smiling fatty, ARE
you still a Democratic" Part
ly so, Grove" replied Mr..
Hill, slightly closing his left
eyelid. "Are you as innocu-
ously disuetude as you used
, to be-"
The trusts are to be the
issue upon which the reorgan-
ICED Democracy will mcke its
campaign this year. 1t would
be unfair, perhaps, to ask a
Democratic orator what trusts
the last Democratic admins
tration put OUT of business,
after being elected on a plat
form in which trusts were as
vigorously denounced as they
we're in the Democratic plat
form of 1902.

Mrs. c. B Bell. of Alamagordo
New Mexico, sent her husband a
telegram which stated her arrival at
Reno. The way he jerked those hill
clothes and sorted out the fine buds in
the trunk was a caution TO a young fell
Ter like the serb.
Good fortune favored him having
Mr.. Robt. Sommers for messenger as
he enjoyed a speedy drive from camp
to Wadsworth in time to take the train
for Reno. where he met Mrs. Bell as
all penitent husbands meet their wives.
They visited camp and we who had
the pleasure Of becoming acquainted
with Mrs. Bell regret that the journey
was such as to abridge the time to be
spent among us. We injoyed meeting
the truly American woman whose life
history reads-she lives for the happi-
ness OF her home. the love Of husband
and children. A blessing to others. a
blessing to self. is grand enough to live
for.
After leaving Olinghouse canyon Mr..
and Mrs. Bell visited Reno, meeting
many friends during their stay. They
left for San Francisco where sometime
will be devoted to sight seeing. after
/, which they will leave for their home in

sons and daughters await their parents
coming.

that he has hopes for III camp.

his stay in camp. Mr.. Boyle will re-
turn.

making is the chief occupation. Al.
most all the women and children and
many of the men are engaged in it,
singular fact about the Paraguayan
laces is that the designs are borrowed
from the curious webs spun by the
semi.tropical spiders which abound in
that country. For this reason the lace
is called by the natives nanduti, an
Indian word that means spider web"

Tree an lnquisitor.

One of the most deadly trees in the
world is to be found in Madagascar,
where it is known as the tangen tree.
It's scientific name is tanghinia vene-
nfera, the latter word signifying
poisonous.
By the natives it is regarded with a
sort of horror, and for excellent rea-
sons. For centuries it was the Gus
tom to use the fruit of the tangen for
the purpose of ascertaining whether
criminals charged with grave offenses
were guilty or not.
In each case the prisoner was
brought into court, and the Judge
thereupon solemnly handed him a
fruit from tangen tree and told him
that if he ate it and it did him no
harm he would be considered inno-
cent, but that if it killed him he
would be considered guilty. AS there
is a great deal of poison in the fruit
it can readily be seen that very few,
if indeed any, were able to pass
through this ordeal unscathed.
1t is said that some criminals who
had great political influence or con-
siderable wealth managed to escape
through the connivance of the judges !;
but, on the other hand, the criminal
records tell of many cases in which
prisoners died a horrible death very
soon after they had eaten the noxious
fruit.
More civilized methods of jurisdic.
ton now prevail in Madagascar, but
though this barbarous custom is OBJ.
solete, the tangen tree is regarded
with almost as much aversion as it
ever was. A proof of this may be
found in the fact that a French natur,
alist recently tried to obtain some
branches and fruit of the trees, but
though he asked several natives to aid
him in the search, he was unable to
obtain the slightest assistance from
any of them.

We could not see the sunlight yesterday
We were too full of bitterness and PAIN
And shall never see your face again.
For love has crept away.
We could not hear the wrens glad voices
sing.
Our hearts were cold and deaf; we coul ]
not see
The fairy bower made for you and me,
For grief dimmcd everything.
We did not know the beauty of that
place,
Nor the soft gems upon the flowers, nor
knew
The charm of that lass hour for me and
you.
For tears were on your face.
o Love. dear Love, springs days grow
old and gray,
And shadows fleck the woods-and we
must go
lonely and desolate through wales of
snow
Since Love has crept away!
