Ere the morning star proclaimed

and thy robe is clean and white;
Thou art fairer than the summer IN
it's bloom;
Thou art born unto Kingdom ana
thy crown is all of light;
Thou shalt smile away the shadow
and the gloom.
''In thy path the fields shall blossom
and the desert shall rejoice;
In The wilderness a living fountain
spring.
For the blind shall see thy beauty and
the deaf ehall hear thy voice
And the silent tongues their hlgh
hosanas sing.

In the midland where the "fio ueei

Where the water lily sluiiip1i,' Why
the cypress guards its rest
To Inv ennny land OF promise and
thy home.
"Whcre the sons OF Carolina taught
nation to be free,
And her daughters taught their
brothers to be brave;
Ger a land of peaceful plenty from
the highlands to the sea,
May the banner, Alma Mater ever

Here is a story that comes from

The Daughters Of the CCnfederd1y

the ceremony was over, there was
call for some one to play Dixie on
the piano. No one volunteered ana
it was found that there was no one ln
the hall who could play he tune.
There was a long wait and final
some one came into the hail and
PLAYED the tune.

A Story of c. is.

Speaking of gratis, that re-
minds me-" said the Manager of
the Missouri University foot ball
team, ''of the army of grafters that
besieged us at the Missouri-Kan-
sas game this year. One fellow
came to me and said he represent
two state senators and that they
wanted four tickets each. If they
did not get them, he said it would
go hard with the University when
the next appropriation bill came
up. Another CRATER said he was
sent to me by the Metrolitan Street
Railway Company officials, who
said if they didn't get a certain
number of tickets free they would
not put on extra cars for the game.
l convinced him that it was more
to the Metropolitan's advantage to
have these cars on than it was to
mine, and he went away. But the
prime feature of the day was when
a minister of the gospel approach
ed me and said he was going to
lecture on the evils of foot ball and
wanted ticket for himself so he
could see the game actually play
ad."

In his last installment of "Fren-

makes serious charges against the
Legislature of Massachusetts, and
declares that Massachusetts, legis-
lators are "bought like sausages.
He also gives some inside infor-
nation concerning the Addicks-
Morgan gas deals in Boston, and
his revelations of bribery are
shocking. It is announced that
several of those implicated in Mr..
Lawson's article are about to bring
suit for libel, but the author de-
clares he is not only willing, but
even anxious to be sued. The
Commoner ventures the prediction
that Mr.. Lawson will not be sued
by any of those whom he has pill
loried in his articles. Having been
on the inside Mr.. Lawson is doubt
less familiar with the subject un-
der discussion, and having con-
siderable discretion - which is
always the better part of valor-
the trust magnates will content
themselves with having their sub

venturer who is attempting to
blackmail them.-Tbe Con,naoner.

RONTON. MO-. THURSDAY. 5

| NOTICE in the Commercial Ap-
peal of Memphis that proposition
has been made by persons of we'll
known ability, and of high stand
ing in commercial and business
circles, to destroy a million bales
of cotton by fire or otherwise to
maintain prices. This is a mon
strous proposition, and yet under
our present form of industry it is
not only logical, but it becomes
almost necessity, to prevent the
cotton raisers from becoming
bankrupt. But let us for a mo-
ment follow this line of reasoning
and see where it will lead to. One
million bales of cotton at fifty
dollars per bale-fiifty million dol
lars worth. of property tosbe de-
stroyed in one line of industry
alone. Now beef cattle are far too
low for the prosperity of the stock
raisers. Suppose they should COM
bine and, to maintain prices, de-
stroy fifty million dollars worth of
live stock? Then the wheat rails
ers and corn raisers might with
equal propriety perform a like
horrifying destruction. Not that
I anticipate anything of this kind,
but if cotton must be maintained
alta paying price by such an awful
policy, why not other lines of in
dustry? Some months ago Mr..
Chauncy M. Depew pertinently
asked, "Why are we knocking at
the door of Pekin? Why must we
retain the Philippines at any price?
Because we annually manufacture
two hundred billions of wealth
more than we can use." Now is
it actually true that labor creates
more wealth than the whole coun-
try can use? Would it not be
nearer the truth to say that labor
creates more wealth than it can
buy back from the capitalists? If
we really create more than we can
use why the suffering from want?
Two hundred billions to spare
while many suffer for want of
clothing, food and shelter. Some
thing is radically wrong here.
Labor produces much more than
formerly, and new labor saving
Inventions are constantly being
made; fewer and fewer laborers
will be able to do the work; hence
constantly reducing wages as COM
petition becomes stronger and
stronger.
What is the remedy?

Collegians as DishWashers.

From Philosophy to dishwashing
and from French to saving wood
is the daily routine of scores OF
ambitious boys in the University
of Missouri just now. No task is
too humble for the young men who
are working their way through
college, as the flies of the en-
ployment bureau Of the Young
Mems Christian Association testi-
fy.
There are one hundred applica-
tions for wood saving, diswashing,
busting rugs, repairing furniture,
carrying coal, cleaning yards,
sweeping, washing windows, tend
horses, milking cows, waiting on
tables, delivering books, tending
furnaces, pressing clothes, teach
ing Spanish and polishing stoves.
The bureau has secured $4,000
worth of such work since school
began and each day it finds a new
joblfor some of the long list of ap-
plicants.

Many children are afraid of him,

With Christmas so near, and the

missed; but with the dawn of the
new year, restless humanity will
long for peep into the Art CAL

dinner at the Alps. They will
sigh for the airship, a round on
the big wheel, a trip in the balloon,
reaching for ethereal breezes they
cannot obtain. But we have the
pleasant memory of it all, and will
keep it, like a favorite book, for
future reference, "till memory
lends her light no more"
