Concerning Offended Majesty.

Among certain ancient peoples
Of earth il was held crime to
mention the name Of the nations
ruler, such contamination by the
common lip being prohibited under
penalty OF death. Missouri off
cialdom has jnst dccapitated Speed
Mosly for the alleged oilcnso of
even naming, by Inference, certain
rulers Of Missouri in his novel,
''Ben Blunt thus signally outIo
ing the offended dignity of old.
Missourians cannot but rejoice
that the sacredness Of state official
dom has thus been maintained.
The divinity that doth hedge a
king looks Ike 80 cents in compari
son with that which envelops the
mighty ones Of Missourls state
administration, the indignant pow
ers that passed sentence upon
Speed Mosby, and with good rea-
con. The Dockery administration
promulgates the decree that not
even the Dockery wink shall be
subject to literary treatment, No
mere king can equal Missouri's Of
ticiaIdom in insistancc upon the re-
spect due from the ruled to the
ruler.
The virtual notification to Mis-
souri, authors that they may safely
deal only with the dead past, shun-
ming the living present rs if it were
the plague, owing to lis connection
with Missouri officialdom, would
be unwarranted were it not for the
exceptional quality of the dignity
of Missouri's existent ruling caste.
1t might be said in ordinary in
stances that the Furnishing of Speed
Mosby was due to a shallowpated
| loneliness, the intolerance of small
| minds, the thin skinned supersensi
tiveness Of inferior souls that shiv-
er lest others shall discover the full
extent of their inferiorty, but this
is surely not true of Missouri off
cialdom. Rather must it be taker
that some magnificent lion has beer
impudently disturbed by ehitter-
ing mouse, that some base plebiar
has reinforced with a penny Ian
tern the fierce light that beats upon
q throne and proclaimed discover
les Of defects or absurdities in th'
thrones occupant. Death to sucl
a one, be he impudent mouse O.
cheap glim pleheian, Speed Mosby
or any other man who laughs a
the Lords anointed.
II is not worth willis, therefore
to contemplate further the spec
tacle of the deeapitated deput
