HE'S FROM MISSOURI.
Legislator from This State Wants
Lords and Noblemen Branded.

A Missouri legislator has introduced
a resolution IN the senate Of that state
providing that all foreign noblemen
and lords found running at large shah
be branded for purposes Of Identified
ton.
1t is hard to understand why some
people are so prejudiced against for

The Missouri law might be betterea
if it had an amendment providing for
the branding of people who make silly

Or maybe it is intended that the Mis-

Lhor Day. though not observed

Labor Day, though not observed
in our little town, has an unusual
interest this year, because OF the
marked activity in the organization
Of both labor and capital during the
past wear and because of the wide
recognition that has been given to
the principle of arbitration. In
spite of the fears of a few pessi-
mists, the outlook is brighter than
it was a year ago, and the far-see-
ing leaders on both sides are con-
WINGED that the future of industry
will be one Of peaceful progress.

"WHY We LOST THE COL
LEGE."

Rev. A. Il. Baten, in very
pointed discourse at the taber-
nacle last Wednesday night,
told the people why Amarillo
did not get the college. He ac-
credited the failure to the sal
legged" great immoralities that
prevailed in Amarillo. 1t was
further "alleged" that tie law
was openly and fagrantly vio-
lated. While he did not attempt
to deny all these allegations, he
said that all objections were
duly met by the committee, as
best we could meet them. This
is speaking of those in sympathy
with Amarillo. In setting forth
the remedy for this besmirched
condition Rev. Baten says:
80, Amarillo. Thou art III
many respects, a Queen City.
Thou sittest as gem upon the
midst of the plains. Thy eli
mate is tonic and thine atmoS-
phere cordial. Thy summer
breezes are sweet. Thy Ceru
lean skies are soft as the dome
that bends over the ancient
kingdom of Eneas. Thy men
are noble and thy women are
fair. Thy sons are patriotic.
Thy daughters are, for beauty,
as the young women of ancient
Greece and for purity as the
virgins of Israel in Queen Els
theirs Court.
'But, o, Amarillo. an enemy
hath assaulted thee A foul
dragon hath uncoiled himself
from the quagmires and cess
pools of iniquity; he hath drag
ged his sinuous Shiny form to
our very doors. He openeth
wide his huge jaws fasteneth
his malicious eyes upon the
babe in its mothers arms, and
gree1ily watches his opportuni.
ty to devour the mother S hope.
This dragon is the liquor
business. Shall we sleep while
he devours our children and
ruins our homes? No, citizens
of Amarillo. No.
