That is about the only phrase that
properly describes from the landlords
and the landlady's view of the case
the rapid descent that has taken place
in the rates asked for room and board
in the worlds fair city during the
past few weeks, says the St. Louis
World.
Landladies that had expected to
reap a fortune during the exposition
period are now merely hopeful of
making 4 fair profit on their invest
ments.
Some of them. many of them, per-
haps. will be satisfied if they can
break even.
During the few months Immediately
preceding the opening of the fair. st.
Louis rentals went soaring.
Visions of much gold were before
the eyes Of the landlords and land
ladies They were visions that were
visionary indeed.
For. as a result of the unexpected
financial harvest, almost everyone
went into the Furnished room" bus
mess. Ii was the old story of supply
and demand. with the. supply far ex-
ceeding the demand. OF course. prices
began to tumble. They have tumbled
until now they are at n point about
where they would be if no worlds
fair were here at all.
Two large hotels in the immediate
vicinity of the great exposition three
weeks ago demanded a dollar a day
for room. Two weeks ago the no.
tells in question modified their scale
to - cents Il day. One week ago they
dropped to so cents day. This week
they are offering good rooms at $3.50
a week.

tionS in st. Louis are now at the low
est point. As the crowds start com
ing. prices will start going up again.

The InteIlieent Farmer.

Giving the farmers Saffy before cleo
ton and. promising them legislation
that never was intended TO matcrialiZe

pected pleasure to read the first install
mcnt of CUFF and bluff given out by
Hon. Joseph Weeks Babcock. chair
man of the Republican congressional
committee, in which lie brings in the
Intelligent farmer as the standby of
the q. o. L. Mr.. Babcocll says he has
implicit faith that the Intelligent
farmer will vote the Republican tick
eft, for they have telephones in their
houses and read the daily newspapers.
That Mr.. Babcock really believes the
Intelligent farmer will support the
party in league with the trusts and
corporations is doubtful, for he is evil
IDENTIFY much exercised, though he says
he is not worrying over the outlook for
Republican majority in the next con-
gress.
Yet Mr.. Babcock evidently is alarmed
about what the Intelligent farmer
will do, for he also says, 1T keeps ii
member of congress busy all the time
TO answer the questions they ask him
about public affairs" Maybe when he
gave out that interview Mr.. Babcock
was thinking of the uncomfortable
questions that many of his own CON
stituents have been asking him about
the charges of his too close connection
with the railroad corporations, of pad
ding the mails in the interest of those
institutions and his failure to push his
bill TO reform the tariff schedule that
shelters the steel trust, though he had
declared the tariff must be reformed,
or possibly he was thinking of the
charges made by Secretary BristOw
that over 100 Republican congressman,
including himself, had been mixed up
with the postotfice graftcrs if not in
league with them.
The Intelligent farmer" who reads
the daily newspapers could hardly
have missed knowing about those
charges and a number OF other scan
dals that Mr.. Babcock and his party
are responsible for. and ii is hardly
any wonder that il has kept those
members of congress busy-aS il has

FRANCE AND THE VATICAN.

By a decisive vote-325 to 237-the
Chamber OF Duputies Saturday night ap-
proved the governments course in the
matter OF the rupture of diplomatic rela-
tions between France and the Vatican,
by the recall of Ambassador Nisard.
The vote was taken after boisterous
session, in the cource of which Deputy
Baudry d'Asson called Prime Minister
Combes brigand and was restrained
with difficulty from personally assault
ing the Premier. In his speech NJ
Combes replied to the criticism made
during the two days debate in the cham
ber. He said the rupture OF relations
between the Vatican and France showed
the impossibility of continuing the pres.
ent concordat between the church ana
the State. The Vatican has sought TO
discipline the Bishop of Laval before an
ecclesiastical court, which the French
laws did not recognize.
Pope Plus X was up almost the wnoie
of Saturday night waiting for kilograms
from mOUSlBuOi niOhN"S S"i"''
the papal nunciature OF Paris, about the
discussion in the French Chamber of
Deputies. The Pope was not surprised
at the statement and speech of Premier
Combes. which were much as had been
expected, but he had not though, from
private information he had received, that
the Premier's majority in the Chamber
would be so large as it was. The Pope
and his entourage attribute the new sue
cess of Premier Combes to the influence
of the Freemasons, who, according TO
reports received at the Vatican, are de-
termined to bring about the separation
of church and state in order to be freer
to undertake campaign, with the oh
iect of destroying all religious feeling IN
France. When the news was received
the Pontiff exclaimed: Goods will be
dCne."
The French Chamber of Deputies Sat
urday night by decisive vote-325 to
237-approved the governments course
in the matter of the rupture OF dlplo-
matte relations between France and the
Vatican by the recall of Ambassador
Nisard. The vote was taken alter a
boisterous session.
