Missouri the "ShOw Me" State

Ibid you know that Missouri was
at one time called the Iron State?' "
asked man at the public library
yesterday afternoon. About 1925
what were supposed to be great de-
posts of iron ore were found at Iron
Mountain, Pilot Point and other
places in the southwestern part of
the State. This information soon
spread over the country, and 1t was
not long after that the public gave
Missouri the name of the Iron State.
However, it did not seem to take, for
It Is seldom heard now.
Missouri has also been known as
the Bullion State. Thomas H. Ben
ton, the first United States Senator
from Missouri, was always opposed
to paper money. He advocated gold
and silver as the only means OF ex-
change that should be adopted. His
frequent reference to bullion caught
the public, and from this the State
received the nickname. Bullion State. "

Bricks Made OF Flour.

I'm England much interest has been
shown of late by the army and navy
authorities in new method of pre-
serving -four by means of compress
sion. With hydraulic pressure APP
paratus the -four is squeezed into
the form of bricks, and experiments
are reported to have shown that the
pressure destroys all forms of larVa
life, thus preserving the flour from
the ravages of insects, while 1t is
equally secure from mold. Three
hundred pounds of compressed flour
occupy the same space as 100 pounds
of -four in the ordinary state.

HARTMAN THE UNDESIRABLE,

Is there politician in America, othe,
than President Roosevelt. who would
have the courage to link together the
names OF Hartman. the railroad king land
Meyer. Haywood and Debs. the labor
leaders, as types of undesirable citizens2
MIR. Roosevelt has done just that. but
would Senator Foraker, Senator Aldrich
or Senator Spooner on the one side, and
Senator LaF gillette. w. ]. Bryan or May
or | ON Johnson on the other dare to
make such comparison and nsk the
consequences Of offending in one SEN
tence the representative of the most pow
erful aggregation Of capital, and the rep
resentatlves OF a great section of organiz-
ed labor on the other?-Wan Stree,
Journal.
Internationally Messrs. Foraker, Al
drlch and Spooner would not intimate that
Hartman is an undesirable citizen; and
evidently MIR. Roosevelt would not have
done it in 1904 when he was accepting
Harrimans money as contribution to the
Roosevelt campaign fund.
With all Of their kindly feelings for
MIR. Roosevelt, the American people can
not overlook the fact that he did not call
Hartman undesirable until after the
Hartman letter was made public.
1t doesn't require extraordinary cour-
age for powerful man to place a brand
upon men who are behind the bars, al
though many people have questioned and
many people will question, the propriety,
or the fairness, Of an attack made by the
president Of the United States upon men
who are about to undergo trial for their
lives. There is suspicion abroad that
Mr.. Roosevelt's latest epistle on the
Moyer-Haywooo affair was a desperate
effort to make the best of the very bad
situation in which Mr.. Roosevelt plunged
himself, when he dragged the names Of
the imprisoned labor leaders into the
Hartman controversy.
The less Mr.. Roosevelt's friends say
about this sorry affair the better.
1t is probably true that neither Senator
LaFollette, Mayor Johnson or Mr.. Bry-
an would have linked together the
names Of Hartman, the railroad king,
and Meyer, Haywood and Debs, the
labor leaders, as types Of undesirable
citizens"
1t is also probably true that neither La
Toilette, Johnson or Bryan would have
been wiling to be elected to an Office Of
trust in campaign financed by by the
railroad king. who was MY Dear MI.

Who, He Declares, Make a
Practice of Stealing
Rigs

"I have captured a bunch of crooks
since / went OH the department, but
this is the first time l ever landed a
9-year-old horse thief" said Detective
Joe Murphy Of the University station
last night as he entered the centra
police station holding by the hands two
tiny bits of humanity, who gazed
around with wondering eyes at the Of
ficers who surrounded them.
The boys were Tobel Smuldine, who
said he lived on Lemon street, but was
unable to tell the number, and Robert
Ellis, who lives at 212 South Alameda
street.
They are said to be members of a
gang of five boys who have made a
practice of stealing rigs from parks in
the city and passing afternoons drlv-
ing about town.
Last Sunday the boys are said to have
stolen horse and buggy from Chutes
park and driven to Eastlake park,
where they deserted the outfit.
The officers will arrest the remaining
three boys today. when they will be
sent to the detention home to join the
two arrested last night.
