REMEMBER THE MISSOURI.

REMEMBER THE MISSOURI.
The st. Louis committee organized for the ,pur-
pose of raising funds with which to present testi-
.monial TO the batteship Missouri met yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of reporting progress 1t
WAS the unanimous opinion that good beginning
had been made and that their efforts would be con-
tinucd until the total for st. Louis amounts to
5000.
The committee feels that this State must come
forward with gift to the batteship. and there
was displayed determination that st. Louis shall
do its share and more to that end.
The work already done has been the arduous.
The first $1,000 is always the hardest to earn or to
collect and the total receipts now are well over ST.
500 But that fact does not render it any the less
certain that the endeavor must be continued Keep
at it, that is the secret of winning in any cause
good. bad or Indifferent If it be good cause, so
much the better. but so much the more reason and
the more necessity for greater persistence
No doubt this committee will accomplish what
they have started out to accomplish. They are men
who haDitually accomplish what they undertake 1t
is to be hoped that response to their efforts will be
prompt and generous in order that their task may
be the lighter.
p To the Mercantile Trust Company, to the JefYer-
son Club and to J. L. Van Ornum of the Engineers
Club belong special credit for successful activity
The Mercantile Trust Company was the first fianan-
cial institution to act The Jefferson Club was the
first political organization. And Professor Van Or.
num- in a society which has few rich members has,
largely through his individual exertions raised al
most one hundred and fifty dollars.
The Republic again urges a renewed activity in
behalf of this movement in the counties and in the
prosperous towns of the State. The battleshp,
which went formally into commission yesterday un-
der command of brother-inlaw of the President of
the United States, represents Missouri in the array
of the defenders Of this nations honor and rights
: In the gift which will be rendered to the vessel all
the State should be represented.
