Associated press dispatches say that
on last Monday the people of Ohio
saw a bright rainbow in the cloudless
heavens at monday. AT the same
hour at Washington Congressman
Crumpacker, of acknowledgements,
mind you-lntroduced a resolution in
congress calling upon the postmaster
general for the papers in the
IndianOla postotice case. 1t is not
known what Mr.. Roosevelt saw about
the same time, but if he had his
weather eye open he might have
spied Mark Hanna looming on the
horizon a good deal bigger than a
mans hand.

every youth whose heart pulsatsy
with the song Of freedom, and worthy
alone Of the God of war.
On the shores Of Lake Luearno
there stands a wonderful monument
chiseled from the solid rock BY tho
Danish sculptor, Thorwaldsen. and
dedicated to the bravery and fidelity
Of the famous Swiss guard Of Lopis

and dyiug,yet with paw outstretcbed
protecting the Fleur-de-lis.
The mountain passes and placid
lakes OF that gallant little republic
will ever blend their voices In sweet.

freedom aud to commemorate the
heroic struggles Of those brave noun.
t%aineers.
But we need not 90 to classic lore.
interviewer with myth and story; nor
to the pages of history, vivid with
sparkling rhetoric; for here in our
oun loved Southland, in the history
of our own brave warriors, we have a
record of deeds of valor, Of devotion
to duty, of faitbfuluess in death,
that will teach us and our posterity
how to die in freedoms cause.
Then, for the sake of our fathers.
for the sake Of the cause they loved
better than life, for the sake of our
noble southern women, for the sake Of
our illustrious chief, 10 whose mem.
org we have met, for the sake Of all
that we hold dear in life, let us
cherish and revere the sacred heritage
which they have left US. And, when
the sons and daughters Of other climes
go forth with laurel wreaths to crown
earth's immortals, let us go into the
garden, pluck the sweetest forgetme-
nots and the violets Of richest hue,
then make u pilgrimage, it may be
through mountain passes or over
sandy deserts, To that sacred shrine
in the beautiful valley of the Sheu-
andoah.

Democrats and republicans in the
Missouri legislature are falling orsr
each other to vote for the free text
book bill. There is not a great deal
Of harm in the measure and not a
great deal of good. 1t is merely an
opportunity for the Legislators to show
their utter devotion to the people.
wouldn't it be well to supplement
this graceful gift by serving to the
school children a noon meal at the
public expense? There are people
living today who will see this done in
Missouri.

UNIVERSITY AND NORMAL SCHOOL.

The report of the State University
is inland also that of one Of the three
state normal schools. The University
asks for an appropriation of s6sl, s4s
and the Warrensburg Normal for
$3.50. 900, The total is on%e-ffteenth
as much as Jefferson paid for the
Louisiana Purchase aud only a trifie
less than one half of the annual
evenues Of the state.
Public education IS worth all it
costs, but it is high time for the
people to show their WEAKNESS OF
paving for the same thing twice.
The University has gone through the
form of abolishlng its preparatory
department, but it has on its rolls
hundreds of students who could not
get admission to the fourth year of
our city high school, and the War
rensburg Normal has hundreds and
hundreds Of students who have no
more thought of becoming school
teachers than of becoming missiona-
ries to Siam. Ask the heads of our
three private schoo Is 10 this city and
they will tell you that they meet
dozens of boys and girls every summer
who are not prepared for the third
or even the second year Of their nome
high school, and who have 90 thought
Of ever becoming teachers, but who
are preparing to go to one of the
state Normals.
There is a great scramble for rank
among the western state universities,
and the primary for which they seek
is 10 the matter of numbers Each
wants to be the biggest, and get the
largest annual appropriations. ia
this end the entrance requirement:
are ridiculously low, and these are
even discounted by a system of pro.
baton, by which unqualified appli,
cants may take high school courses ia
some Of the professional schools
They have all gone through the pre-
tense Of abolishing preparatory de.
partments out of consideration FOL
the high schoolSlof their states, but
they continue to accept raw boys ant
girls to swell their enrollments, anC
give them preparatory instruction IL
other departments than that in which
they are matrlculated. The people
are not interested in killing theil
home high schools in order to make
good an empty boast that theil
university is the biggest thing
there is.

TO PROHIBIT FOOTBALL.

The metropolitan newspapers are
giving editorial notice to the bill in
troduced in the Legislature by Repre-
sentative Duncan to prohibit football
10 all schools receiving state aid
These newspapers are taking the
matter too seriously, possibly because
such action by the legislature might
destroy a most prolific news vein.
They urge that Mr.. Duncan is very
much interested 10 the st. Louis
race track concession and that surely
football is not worse and yields no
greater number Of casualties than
horse racing. They contrast football
with prize fighting, and 90 on to
show that, while in the latter only
two get the benefit of the athletic
training, in the former, at least
eleven out Of e. great university or
normal school profit by the drill and
exercise.
These arguments are not likely to
strike the mind Of the reader with
towering force unless he has grown
accustomed TO the reasonlngs of col.
onialist republicans, The truth is.
the state institutions would rather
give up the annual appropriations
than to give up football. And such
a measure as Mr.. Duncan has pronosed
would reduce the university to a
corporal's guard aud swell the private
and denominational schools to ton.
heavy proportions.
There has been much nonsense said
and written about football. Foo,hau
IS not exercise, it is sport. The
eV'ls OF 10 are not on the gridiron but
on the oIeachers. When a race be.
comes too effeminate aud degenerate
TO iight itself, it invents bull batting
and cock fighting. Emotional slim.
ulation without at appropriate object
and leading to no corresponding action
IS the peculiar vice of civilization
The brutality Of the gridiron will in.
crease Sayi bassn with the luxury d
the home, and this by a higher lau
t4an a legislature can enact.

The truth will out. j. P. Morgan
testified OH the witness stand under
oath that he bought the l.. s.. N.
railroad because he thought Gates
was not a fit man to be in charge Of
SO important a transportation line.
The people go on abusing Mr.. Nor
gan, but this does not deter him
from his single hearted purpose Of
buying up all the steamship lines and
railroad lines which be thinks are in
the hands of unfit men.

Attorney-GeneTal Knox, a few days
ago paid a visit to H G. Frick, for
mer partner of Carnegie. 1t is sup
posed that he went to consult with
him 10 regard to trust legislation It's
the announced policy of the present
administration that the tariff is to be
revised only by its friends, and it is
supposed TO FOLLOW as a corollary that
the trusts are to be regulated by their
friends.

During the campaign the republic
cans frothed at the mouth whenever
anything was said about the alum
bill Now they are all opposed to its
repeal by the legislature. During the
campaign they claimed monopoly on
the free text book proposition. Now
the Kansas City Journal is opposing
it. What do the republicans really
stand for in Missouri?
