Raising Pearls for Market.

The systematic culture Of fresh
water pearls may easily become an
important industry in the United
States, az the mollusks from which
they are taken are very abundant
in our lakes and rivers. The Mis-
sissirpi basin, especially, teens
with them. presenting many forms
which differ from those of the At
lautic watershed and other parts
of the world.
The methods of culture are ex-
ceedingly simple, as it is necessary
only to open slightly the shell and
insert a very small! transparent
glass bead, putting it between the
mantle and the she'll, Great care
must be taken to avoid injury to
the little animal; and in opening
the she'll a thin, aat iron tool with
a wooden handle and bent noint
should be used; q knife might an-
swer for this pwrpose. When the
poine has been inserted it is turned
aronnd to On angle of about 50 de-
grees, the Shelf being thus partial
ly opened without injury to 1.-THE
| life within. After treatment, it
must be returned to the water for
year or TIVE, while the process OF
incrustation goes on.

Roosevelt And The Railroads.

! Although Pres. Roosevelt's 8 mes
sage to congress was couchcd IN
diplomatic language, nobody knew
better than he that be was not en-
gaglng in pillow fight.
Nobody knew better than he
that be was tsckling the stubborn
hosts of special privilege i'll their
last political stronghold, when he
went up against the industrial and
financial bosses in the United States
senate, and in the name of the peo-
pie demanded governmental regula-
tion of railroad rates, to the end
that rebates and other forms of
graft might be abolished.
If the Senate were made up Of
honest representatives of the great
mass of the people, there would be
no fight at all, for then that body
would be responsive to the will of
the people and will CO operate with
the lower house and enact legisla-
ton protecting the people in their
rights.
| But it is quite generally under
stood now that for years the great
combinations of wealth have been
sneaking their subservient tools
into the senate, bringing about the
election of mon who represented
class interests rather than all the
people.
And when Pres. Roosevelt, as
the courageous champion of the
rights of the people and a govern.
meat of the people, by the people
and for the people, faces the Unit.
ed States senate today, be finds
that body made up largely of men
evidently hostile to this popular
demand and determined to eontinue
running the government in the in.
terest of the privileged few rather
than for the benefit of the whole
people.
j, That's where You come in-you

Can't you see it was the men on

got rich out of politics and insur-

Doesn't it begin to dawn on you
that it is the men on the inside,

transportation systems, and their
confederates, the big shippers, who
are getting the railroad graft and

Isn't it plain that Roosevelt is
the most popular president since
the days Of Washington, because
he is trying to represent all of the
people and get square deal for
everybody?
That's the central idea in this
fight for governmental regulation
OF railroad rates-a square deal for
every body, Il square deal for the
big shipper and a square deal for
the little shipper, square deal for
the Morgans, and the RockefeIlers,
and square deal for YOU.
And every honest American citi-
zen, without regard to creed, col
or or politics, who believes in a
square deal for all and special
privilege to none should get right

fight for representative govern
ment and give his demand on the

Signs of the New Missouri.

Of old, whenever tho battle was
pitched in Missouri, the Bourbon
legions of the west and southwest
rallied with the greatest enthusi-
asm around the name Of Salmon.
At the cry of that name on party
battle plain, retainers of that great
house rushed with bare bosom on
the spear and split the air With the
martial music Of the rebel yell.
"Phelps to the rescue" was once
a cry that turned the tide of battle
on lost fields. The conquering
name of Stone was once a slogan.
But greater even than either of
these was the warlike name of
Salmon in Clinton, st. Clair, Cass,
Bates and other Of the great Bour-
bon counties OF the middle west.
1t was as a pillar of cloud by day
and fire by night, guiding the
faithful whose footsteps followed
it with a blind, implicit trust which
know nothing. suspected nothing
and would listen to nothing. When
Stone was accused Of organizing a
trust by monopolizing the men,
bership of the Missouri health SO
ciety, the great feedal Bourbon
house of Salmon stood unshakcn
before the world. The other day,
when the grand old Bourbon name
of Phelps was found as payee of Il
check turned up in the insurance
investigation at New York, Bour-
bon credrlity trembled, but it goes
down in one great heap, of which
the noise and the dust shake the
earth and cloud the sky, when the
great house of Salmon, appearing
before the bar at Clinton, holds nr
its mighty hands and pleads that
| it is held in such general dis
| favor in Henry county that il
would be denied Justice there if il
SHOULD Join the issue in court, and
that, as in 't.,e adjoining county OF
St. Clair, it':s in equal disrclute

Right spirited Republicans will
always stand in line with their
party organisation. If there are
any abuses to be corrected within
the party they should be corrected
within the party. Boiling the
party nominees to effect reforms
does not work out to the hest inter.
ests of that party from which the
boil, takes place. One of the best
illustrations of this fact is cvidenc
ed in the Republican bolt that
elected Folk governor of Missouri
After Il year in the gnbernatoria'

cally no effort to rid the state from
