Princess Louise Revenged.

Princess Louise of Orleans, younger
sister of that royal cad, the Duke OF
Orleans, and Queen Of Portugal, about
to be engaged to Don Carlos, the
borther-in-law of the King of Spain
The poor girl was put in a notifying
light by the refusal of that young mon
arch TO make her his wife, and no one
will begrudge her this chance to estap-
lish herself at the same court as a very
important parsonage. For until the
BOW expected heir arrives Don Carlos
4-year-old son would be king should
Alfonso NH. die meantime. 1t is
something to be step" to an heir to
throne, according to royalist ideas, and
Princess Louise is clever enough to
play the role of regent with entire sat
isfaction to her own family. But Al
fonso and Victoria don't intend she

There is in Southeast Missouri
the need for II school for young
ladies that will furnish the best
possible training under Christian
influence.
There is patronage sufficient to
support such a school, and which
now goes out into other sections of
this State and to other states.
There is Il rapidly developing
country in this section, and it is a
section of increasing wealth; by no
means has it grown to the full
measure of its possibilities.
Such a school to supply this sec.
ton is Il question of only a short
time. Where will it be located
Such considerations prompt us
to call the attention of our readers
to the plans being made by the
Board of Elmwood and published
in this paper last week. We be-
lieve that Pennington offers an
ideal location for such a school for
young ladies'. We believe that in
Elmwood there has already been
laid an excellent foundation. We
believe that given the proper sup
port and encouragement such Il
school will become one of the most
profitable investments for the en-
tire community. 1t will mean an
enterprise permanent in its inhu-
ence for good at our own doors;
an institution that will benefit
every class of our citizenship; an
institution that will add to the
prosperity of all in material things
as well as those that are higher.
Elmwood should receive the sup
port of all in the efforts now being
made to make it the leading school
of this section and firmly establish
it upon this basis.

The Long Amendment.

| Senator Longs proposed amend.
ment to the railroad rate bill would
make it possible for the order Of
commission TO be suspended by the
circuit court and TO be so held in
allegiance until the final determine
ton OF the case. This is directly
at variance with the position Mr..
Roosevelt has all along taken. All
supporters OF railroad rate legisla-
tion have emphasized the import.
ance of putting the rate fixed by
the commission in effect and keep
ing it in effect until the final de.
cision. IL the rate may be sus.
pended then the railroad company
will not be concerned for speedy
determination of the case. On the
contrary. delay will be to its inter.
ests, aud the shipper in that case
will be worn out by the litigation
with the powerful corporation.
II is charged that the Long
amendment was agreed upOn at a
White House conference. and be-
cause Of that fact il is known IN
some quarters rs the Roosevelt
amendment. 1t is admitted that
Mr.. Roosevelt approves The amend.
meut, and II is indeed regrettable.
Mr.. Roosevelt has had the support
Of men Of all partie, in his cam
paigu for railway rate legislation.
According to his own testimony.
the very point which he seems now
10 have yielded is an all important
point, and If The bill as passed
shall contain a provision similar 10
the Que contained IN the Long
amendment, or the Roosevelt
amendment. then the campaign for
railroad legislation commenced m

made 1t clear that Congress has the
power to forbid the suspension of
this rate by the lower courts, aud
because it is of the highest impor.
lance that the rate go Immediately
into effec: and remain in effect
until final decision, the Bailey
amendment or something like it
should be adopted. Mr.. Roosevelt
and all other men who would have
the people believe them to be
serious in the matter of railroad
reform ought to strive for the
enactment of law that will give
adequate protection to the shipper

Died at Q O'Clock a. M, on Saturday,
April $, 1875, Ida Thurman aged n
wears She was only confined 10 her
bed aboei three weeks, although She
suffered intensely.
Ida was iayorite with all who knew
her, and it is SO hard to give her up. but
we know that God is too COOL TO BE un.
kind. ida had been christian aud a
MEMBER Of the Little Vine Church for
about four wears and il was her delight
to read Gods word and sing his praises
even in a dying hour. But we sorrow TO
know that in this life we shall never
more see the smiling face OF the one we
SO dearly loved; for now the sweet voice
is pushed, and the bright blue eyes are
closed 10 earthly scenes.
Although we sorrow, it is not as those
who have no hope, for we know our dear
Ida is safe at home with the angels; and
when our journey here is ended we will
again see her smiling face among the
angels and her outstretched arms to
welcome us home. Therefore weep no
more, dear brothers and sisters, for YOU
will see her again. God saw that she
was too pure a blossom for this world
and called her home TO be with him.

separated from thee, we must not for
get that God doeth all things we'll. Z"
Her remains were carried to Little
Vine Church, where her funeral was
preached by Rev. Wood, after which her
body was laie to rest in the cemetery to
await the great resurrection morning.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are u err,
On the border land we left her,
Soon to meet and part no more.
To us for only few short years,
Her sweetest smiles were given,
But now she's bid farewell to us.
And gone to live in heaven.

The jefferson Day banquet OF
the Democratic Press Association
of Missouri at Kansas City last
Friday was well attended, and a
spirit of party loyalty, enthusiasm
and confidence peryaded every fes
ture OF the occasion. At the morn
ing aud afternoon meetings OF the
association number of speeches
were made and papers read by the
editors assigned on the program,
and the sentiments of confidence
aud devotion to principle expressed
met with hearty concurrence by all
present. The country Democratic
press has ON its league boots ready
to conduct THE Mysterious
Stranger" to the border lines and
bid him depart. While we did not
welcome we will take great pleasure
in speeding the parting guest.
The banquet at night was a de-
lightful mosaic of substantial re-
freshments, ovation, OratOry, elO-
quence, enthusiasm and waving of
napkins in haze of fragrant
smoke-(t There were no ladies pres
emit. Genial Ed. Stephens pre-
sided as POSTMASTER. and among
the orators were Governor Folk,
Congressman Chas. \. Towne of
New York, Chas. W. Knapp of the
st. Louis Republic and Senator
Vim. J. Stone. Each of these
gentlemen were accorded splen-
did ovation, and their speeches
were cheered to the echo. Although
il was half past two in the morn.
ing when Senator Stone closed,
there was no abatement IN the en-
thusiasm of the banqueters. There
was one name, the mention of
which or the slightest reference
to which, caused spontaneous
outburst Of applause that expressed
itself in every conceivable way.
This expression of admiration
found vent not only at frequent
intervals during the banqueting,
but throughout the day meetings
Of the editors; and no one present
could doubt for moment the
warm place which William }.
Bryan holds in the hearts OF all
Democratic editors and we might
say all Democratic voters of Mis-
souri,, by whom he is regarded as
he logical standard bearer OF the
rational Democracy in 1908.
