Jefferson City. Mo. March LIN view
of the decision of Thomas X NiedriIg-

desired him to do so. with the belief
that they could elect a candidate other
than those already mentioned or voted

A dozen republicans expect to be
surprised with the honor of the toga
worn by Francis M. Cockrell.
Only few names, however. are be-
ing seriously considered by the repub-
lican members of the assembly.
There Is considerable talk of Capt.
Henry S. King. of St. Louis, as com
promise candidate Capt King has
many admirers in the assembly, and if
he indicates his consent in the slight

Another formidable candidate is
Maj. William Warner. of Kansas City.
Next to Warner. Col Patrick Dyer,
of ST. Louis. is considered available.
About 60 republicans attended the
caGcus in Mr.. Niedringhaus' apart
ments at the Madison hotel.
When the caucus finally adjourned
it was with the understanding that
an attempt will be made to get all the
boilers except the Kerens men to meet
with the regulars in a caucus in the
senate chamber. At that caucus an
attempt will be made to agree on
candidate for the senate other than
Niedringhaus or Kerens, and if an
agreement is reached the Kerens bolt
ers will be asked TO vote with the ma
iority and settle the trouble.
IF il is found impossible 10 agree on
any other candidate. or Kerens holds
out his forces and thereby prevents an
election. the Niedringhaus forces are
expected at the finish to return to the
caucus nominee.
This programme was agreed to by
all, and has the full approval of Mr..

THE BANDIT BACHELOR.

President Wheeler, of the Uni
versity of California, thinks
bachelors ought to be taxed and
says some warm things about
these irregular members society.
He says:
I'm the long run what upholds the
family will uphold the State. The
State cannot exist without the
home. If the home is left out none
Of that necessary solid moral fibre
can exist. Good morals are nothing
less than the Irregularities and or
dinaries of social life. Between
morals and religion there can be, no
dividing line. Good morals are a
constituent part of life. Indivi-
dualism is a danger to the State.
Bachelors and clubmen are ban
dts, guerrillas and outcasts. L
would favor, If such thing were
legal, special tax upon bachelors.
They don't take part in the normal
work of society. They are abnor-
malities, and abnormalities should
pay taxes. Beware of the doctrines
which base themselves upon false
conceptions of individuals instead
of family, which is the only social
unit"
Truly these are troublesome
times for all enemies of society,
for all who do not follow the
scriptural standard of the fami-
ly and the home.
The agitation against the wife
beater, the Divorce, the race
suicidist, is strenucusly pushed
from high places. And now the
college president paints the
bachelor as the worst social of
fender in the lot. However, most
attractive young ladies who have
dared to live to the age Of TWEEN
ty-five or thirty could tell of ex-
tenuating circumstances in the
lives of some bachelors and per-
haps they are not all bad from
choice. For the deliberately
wilful bachelor there is no ex-
cuse. He is all the professor
calls him and the President
should sends a special mes
sage to congress demanding that
this social bandit be taxed out
of existence. If 1t isn't legal
let's make it so. But, lest the
public indignation be too highly
wrought, a charitable care should
be exercised to see that no in
rnocent bachelor is lynched. Let
us not be over hasty.

IT is possible that Congress
may this week pass the bill to
increase the Presidents salary
from $4,000 to 100000 a year.
The bill was introduced by a
Democrat, Representative May
mard of Virginia. Republican
snembers feel delicacy in push
ing such a measure since there
is Republican Congress and
Republican President. Many
Democratic members favor the
proposition and are expressing
themselves openly. Representa-
tive Aiken, of South Carolina,
D.mocrat, is quoted:
4 1.-THE President of the United
States is underpaid," said Mr..
Aiken, "and the salary ought to
have been raised long ago. No
President we have had or will have
for many years to come more richly
deserves the increase than Mr..
Roosevelt,
LAS L understand it, the measure
providing for the increase must be
passed at this session or it will not
apply to President Roosevelt at all. !"
The present salary is wholly
inadequate to meet the neces-
sary demands of official life
made upon the oountry's chief
executive and informed Ameri-
cans will endorse the proposed
increase.

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a di-

from cold or from an attack of the

warded off. This remedy is also
used by physicians in the treatment
of pneumonia with the best results.
