The Kansas City Journal says:
Women do not take much part

married men to Office. Only three
bachelors have been governor.

who died in office. Another was
Robert M. stewart, one of the a.
blest and most eccentric men ever
in the executive mansion. And

ed by a Missouri writer as "a
bachelor shoemaker with a wooden

Christian Politicians.

THE answer to the Rev. Mr..
Brooks query, Can Christian
be a Politicianf''is Can Politi-
clan be a ChristianP says the st.
Louis Republic. I'VE may con-
clude that, theoretically, very few
Christians are politicians, and that,
judging from experience, very few
politicians are Christians.
No doubt..it is possible, and
very desirable as well, the good
Christians should become politi-
clans and take aggressive part in
public affairs. But, whether the
politician can, by any process, be-
come an exemplary Christian, re-
mains, and may remain, an unde-
termined problem.
The brightest prospects for
governmental redemption are not
offered by the politician. His
promises are brilliant, and his
pledges most solemn, but his pub
lie acts have not a high average of
efficiency. Perhaps, however, he
would be better if he were a Chris
tan; and perhaps he would be a
Christian if he were not a politi-
clan.
Perhaps better results can be
obtained by a Christian turned
politician than by a politician
Christian, because it seems easier
for a Christian who is not so piet-
istic to become a politician than
for a politician to accept and fol-
low the exacting and self-abnegat-
ing laws of,religion. One of the chief
faults of Christians is that they
are not politicians, just as one of
the chief faults about politicians is
that they are not practical Chris
tians.
BY way Of experiment clergy
men should endeavor to coax a
goodly number of politicians out
of politics and make Christians
out of them, and the voters should
elect more Christians to office and
make politicians of them. If the
politicians have the germ of Chris
tian spirit, they will make good
Christians, and religion will not
hurt them.
we must not get to the mar
row level of restricting aspirants
for Office to a specific religion or
opposing them because they are
members of any particular organ
izatiOn. But it would be we'll in
deed, if we insisted upon Christian
character as a qualification in all
candidates. The whole matter re-
solves itself into this: The politi-
clan who lacks Christian qualities
should not be recognized in any
manner: and good men should be
encouraged to run for and hold
public Office; a Christian can be a
good politician and a good Chris
tian."

The Paris Appeal observes: A
bugle blast from Gov. Dockery in
praise of Joe Folk and his great
work might encourage the Cole
county grand jury to renewed eff
forts. 1t would also dissipate the
repeated charge of republican pa
pers that the state administration
was throwing cold water on the in
vestigations. The Appeal, speak
ing for the democracy of the ban
ner county, is in favor of pushing
the Investigations to the bitter
end, even tho a special session of
the legislature to appropriate
funds for the work should be nee
essary. The guilty betrayers of
public trust should be exposed,
even tho the statutes of limitations
should save them from prosecu-

FEEDING FOR COLOR.

Assuming that the chickens which IL

should not be intensified by direct feed

be done more with a view to suppIe-

much use attempting to color feed an
adult bird-the experiment must he

principle to follow is to supply a liz
tie color food regularly-a small ouan-
tity given in a systematic way. but not
spasmodic dosing on large scale If
the birds be accustomed TO Ii from
Matching time upwards and then when
passing through their first or chicken

When the moult is finished. therefore
and the color is fixed for the time being
the color food may be almost entirely
discontinued; but it should not be al
together given up. because fowls are
constantly losing feathers. and if the
effect of this feather food upon the
system be not maintained. by constant
ly giving small doses of it. there is a
possibility that any feathers which NAV
be lost will be replaced by those of a
different color. The effect of the color
food, therefore, must not be allowed
to entirely lapse from the blood. The
expense of keeping up color feeding
on a limited scale like this is not great.
