feited bonds and has turned the
money over TO the st. Louis school
board to be used in educating the
children of the city. No one will
deny that education lessons crime,
hence we find that Mr. Folk not on

to prevent it, During all the time
the Republicans controlled the city
of st. Louis, there was not as much
as 900 turned into the hands of
the school board from forfeited

The Best Monument.

DR.. Chalmers, wishing to rouse
Christians to more active work for
the Master once drew the following
beautiful picture:
Live for something. Do good,
and leave behind you monument
of virtue that the storms OF time
can never destroy. Write your
name in kindness and love on the
hearts of those you come in contact
with year by year. These will be
as legible on the hearts you leave
behind as the stars on the brow of
the evening. Good deeds will shine
az the stars of heaven.

Writ Of Prohibition FaIsehood

Republican hired orators and Re-
publican organs have said time
aud again that Mr.. Folk secured a
writ of prohibition when his elec-
ton was contested, preventing the
ballot boxes in St. Louis being
opened. That he or any one else
ever prevented the ballot boxes be-
, ing opened, or that the supreme
court ever issued any such order,
has been time and again refuted
and is refutcd by the decision of
the supreme court, yet these ora
tors aud these organs keep on utter
ing the same old lie.
After the election of 1900 in st.
Louis the Republicans contested the
election Of the three circuit judg-
es, circuit attorney, assistant cir
cult attorney and coroner. 1t was
well known that these contests
were not in good faith, but merely
to ascertain what Republicans had
scratched their tickets, as the de-
cent Republicans had bolted against
the corruption of the Walbridge
and Ieigenhein administrations
and joined hands with the Demo-
crats in elccting the Democratic
candidates.
The contestant for the coroner
ship, III iurtherance of the political
scheme to find out how each Repub.
lican had voted, secured n writ
from Judge Spencer, mere tool
of the Republican machine on the
bench, directing the election com
nissloners in effect to report to the
court the name of each voter and
how he had voted. Mr. Overall, +,
the attorney who represented the
contestees, had the supreme court
issue II writ of prohibition, re-
straining Judge Spencer from en-
forcing such II revolutionary and
unconstitutional order.
No one ever denied the right of
the contestants to have the ballot
boxes opened and the ballots count
ed and compared with the voting
list to ascertain their genuineness.
This was not what they wanted,
however. The Republican machine
continually harping on this false
hood shows its desperation.

LOST ON CRATER, ALMOST DEAD.

HONOLULU, Dec 29.-To be lost
for two days and nights upon the slopes
of the biggest crater in the world was
the experience of B. Griggs Holt, the
United States shipping commissioner
of these islands. He was lost on the
slopes of Haleakala, on the island Of
Maui. In company with two cOmpan-
ions, Holt rode to the summit of the
mountain to view the interior Of the
vast crater, which is nearly thirty
miles in diameter. Coming down he
got separated from his companions,
and in heavy fog that came up took
the wrong trail and was soon lost on
a different ridge. The mountain is so
vast that it takes up practically one
end of the entire island of Maui, and
that Holt was ever able to reach the
outside world again IS remarkable.
After trying for nearly day to re-
join his companions, he finally decided
that the only hope of saving his life
was to make his way to the seacoast
and to follow the beach until he came
upon some habitation. He had to go
for miles over hard, sharp, clinky lava
beds and cut his shoes to pieces and
bruised and cut his feet in a horrible
way. Finally the course became so
hard that the horse which he was al
times leading and at other times try
ing to ride refused to bulge another
step, so Holt turned the animal loose.
He also threw away his camera and
all superfiuous articles. For thirty
five hours he was without food, and
for thirty hours he had no water to
drink. At length he reached the sea-
shore, and after staggering for miles,
came upon native, who took him to
a native ranch, where aid was given
him.
1t was a very fortunate thing for
Holt that he was lost on the outside
slopes of the mountain rather than in
side the crater. 1t is doubtful if he
could ever have gotten out alive if
he lost his way inside of Haleakala
The mountain is about 10000 feet in
height and the floor of the crater is
dotted with volcano cones that rise all
the way from 500 to 1000 feet in
height. There has been no volcanic
activity in Haleakala for hundreds of
years, but few people have been lost
in the crater and escaped without the
aid of a rescue party.

Pennsylvania and Serene e. Payne OF
New York.
THE house machine can be whitfield
down still finer. 1t really resolves it
self into the speaker and the two ma
jority members of the committee on
rules. For If the chairman or the
ways and means committee should fall
out with his colleagues they would rur
over him like steam roller. The
same power by which they reduce
other congressman to obedience would
be equally eficient with him. The
only real power he has is by their
consent.
Committee on Rules.
The average newspaper reader is
likely to attach little significance %
the name committee on rules He
probably thinks it is a committee to
establish or revise rules OF procednre-
a sort of parliamentary committee.
When bill is reported in the
house a rule is reported, too. The
rule defines the scope, not only Of the
discussion but il necessary Of the con-
ditions under which the bill can be
passed. For example, if the committee
on rules chooses, it can prohibit
amendments. 1t can have the bill
made to suit it's preferences. and then
prevent the house from changing it. 1t
has in other words, the power to alb
solutely prescribe the form Of the
legislation to be enacted. The power
to amend is as much a part Of the
legislative power as anything else. but
the committee on rules can shear the
house Of that power.
theoretically. of course. the rule
can be beaten, but in practice it is so
difficult as to be virtually impossible.
Minority Is Helpless.
1.-The two democratic members of the
committee naturally count for moth
ing in the machine. They are merely
informed of what is to be done after
the speaker, Mr.. Dalzell, and General
Grosvenor have agreed upon it.
The committee on rules and the
speaker can prevent the consideration
of any bill. Suppose the case of a new
congressman, just elected, who has
only few months in which to make
good with his constituents and secure
denomination. He has got to get
that new public building and also the
appropriation for deepening the creek.
He knows perfectly well, even if he is
the newest of new congressman, that
both these propositions will die if he
antagonizes the measure which the
committee on rules is now bringing in.
"Of course he votes for the measure,
whatever may be his convictions on
the subject. Revolt? How can he re-
volt? He is tied hand and foot with
political ruin at the hands Of his en-
ragged constituents staring him in the
face il he does not hasten to comply
with the slightest wish of the house
machine"
