Ia closing his letter, acknowledg-
ing bis nomination at the beginning
of the season of the legislature for
the United States Senate, Hon. RI.
c. Kerns say, "Success can only be
brought about by an absolutely
united and harmonious party
throughout the state; a broad and
generous party organization, with
federation and good will for all,
through whose agencies all differ
enoes will be adjusted, harmony
restored, aud the united army of
Republican voters move 10 one
strain and with n step to over
whelming victory" These senti-
ments will be endorsed by every
Republican who has the success of
Republican principles at heart.
Harmony is the strength Of all
well regulated institutions, more es-
peeially this OF ours" No success
comes without harmony. Ichabod
is written over the entrance of every
institution where harmony has de-
parted. Until the sly, shystenng,
scheming. small bore politician is
compelled to Ego way back and
sit down." there is little hope OF
success, The loyal rank and file
will continue to suffer defeat, and,
as they do now, wonder how it all
happened. But then little matters
only delay but cannot prevent the
ultimate ice of Republican
principles, even in Missouri. Har-
mony will finally come and then
political regeneration will sweep the
state.

problem of the unemployed. On

some Of the most worthless and idle
people from the slums Of London
working extremely hard and ex-

For more than half a century a
great struggle has been witnessed
between the Mississippi river and
human engineering. Numerous
leyees and jetties have been built
and government engineers have
spent fabulous amounts in an n
deavor to straighten the channel of
the river so that the current would
run more swiftly and thus keep the
river bed clean. But the great
stream is obstinate and insists on its
crooked course. Great deposits Of
sediment are constantly being form
ed which choke the progress OF the
stream and impede navigation, and
often cause disastrous overhows.
Some day a great overflow will re-
suit in q colossal tragedy-the death
of thousands of people from Illi-
nois to the Gulf. The situation is
a grave u and the problem calls
for the best talent in the world, and
that without delay.
