SONG OF THE AUTUMN NIGHT.
George MacD


o night. send up the harvest moon
To walk about the fields,
And make of midnight magic noon
On lonely aurns and wealds.
In golden ranks. with golden crowns
All in the yellow land,
Old solemn kings In rushing gowns,
The ~sheaVes, moon-charmed stand.
Sky-mirror she, afloat in space.
Beholds cur coming morn:
Her heavenly joy hath such a grace,
1t ripens earthly corn.
Like some lone saint, with upward eyes
Lost In the deeps of prayer;
The people still their prayers and signs
AND gazing, ripen there.
II.
So, like the corn, moon-ripened last,
Would !, weary and gray,
On golden memories ripen fast,
And ripening pass away
In an old night so let me Gle;
A slow wind out of doors;
A waning moon, low In the sky;
A vapor on the moors.
A fire just dying in the gloom;
Earth haunted all with dreamsi
A sound of waters in the roont
A mirrors moony CLEANS.
And near me. in the sinking night,
More thoughts than move in me
Forgiving wrong. and owing right,
And waiting till ! see.

SCHOOLGIRLS IN REVOLT.

The boys of the Pueblo high school
have armed themselves with the most
effective weapon of ridicule in an eff
fort to persuade the school board that
it is making a serious mistake in re-
fusing them permission to have a rep
resentative foot ball team. The boys
first appealed to the board without re-
suit and then adopted the other plan
of warfare.
When school opened last Friday the
pupils came prepared for a sissy ses-
sion, all dressed as little children of
the kindergarten type. The big boys
wore knickerbockers and shirtwaists,
with faring big bows. and they carried
their tops and marbles. The girls,
who have entered into the spirit OF the
revolt, wore their hair in %beribboned
pigtails and brought their dollies and
their Teddy bears. At recess the boys
played ~tit-tat-toe and spun their tops,
while the girls had a dollies' tea party.
The teachers wilted at noon and dis
missed school for the rest of the day.
1t remains to be seen what effect
this exhibition of mollycoddleism by
the big boys and girls will have on the
school board, but it is safe to predict
that the exhibition will be more effec-
tive than any strike or noisy protest
usually resorted to in such cases.

has been less plentiful and they have
been more careful. In this country,
when lumber was dirt cheap" bal
loon frames were run up, and even
later, when lumber became more
scarce, it was used literally in parti-
tions, stairways and for flooring. maxi
ing the work of destruction by fire very
simple. The country is paying the
penalty by losing more by fires each
year than is derived from any n
of revenue. The remedy,
which suggests itself, is better ma
terial in construction and more
stringent building regulations.

FLIMsY BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.

FILMS BUILDING CONSTRUCTIONS.
The carelessness, or lack of precau-
ton, of Americans in their building
methods is demonstrated in a striking
manner by f. w. Fitzpatrick in an
article in the American magazine, in
which comparisons are made between
the fire losses in this country and in
Europe. The record shows hat the
cost of fire, of actual combustion, aside
from incidental expenses and losses, in
this country amounts to a tax of $3.50
per capita, as against an average cor
responding tax of 33 cents per capita
in all Europe. The average loss in
252 American cities is $40 per cap
tia, while the average in siXty-one Eu-
ropean cities is 60 cents. Europe has
Sc fires per 1000 of the population
each year, while the United States has
4.O5.
In the whole OF the British kingdom
last year there were but thirty-five
fires in which the loss exceeded $780,
600. In New York alone last year
there were 3,S43 fires. with a total
loss of $7,56S,S66 The fire loss in
Rome for the year was but $4,000.
The explanation of the difference is
not difficult. In Europe they have al
ways used less combustible material
in construction than have We; wood

Courage of His Interview.

AT least the kaiser did not. when all the

declare that he had been misquoted and
that the reporter in the case manufactured
the article out of whole cloth. He really

Our Trip To st. Joe.

We decided, at the last moment, to
attend the meeting of the Missouri
Editorial Association at St. Joseph,
being a charter member and having
met with the "boys" several times,
and always having a pleasant and
profitable time. We started day
too late, not knowing that it re-
quired at least one extra day to reach
a place so distant as St. Joseph.
While we were too late by two hours
for the cream" of the occasion, the
banquet given by the Mckinley
Roosevelt club, yet were in at cleo
ton of officers, heard many enthusi-
astic speeches, and learned and en-
joyed enough to pay for the trip. The
chrystalized thought of those present,
and nearly unanimous, was that the
mission of the Republican press Of
Missouri is to preach the everything,
heart-inspiring truths of Republican,
ism weekly, to stand by our leaders
and Office holders who are true to
their trust, and are using their best
efforts to bring victory to the party in
nation, state, county and city, and to
cheerlully assist in eliminating the
self seeking politician and candi-
date for pie. A good work that
should be thoroughly pushed,
Capt Henry King, Editor OF the
Globe-Democrat, was reelected
President for the sixth term, Harry
H. Mitchell, of the Springfield Re-
publican sec-treas., also for the sixth
term. Sam Kellar was reelected
vice president for the Sth cong. dis
trict, beating the editor of the RE-
PUBLICAN by one vote.
In our trip up Friday we found
snow all the way to beyond Sedalia.

The farther north we went .he finer

The fact that he is an Ohio man has
nothing to do with the prospects.
He appeals to all sections of the
country, just as President Roosevelt
did about four years ago. He is for
the progressive policies, but he is
not a radical. At heart even the re-
dictionaries know that they would get
fair treatment at his hands. He is a
great man, and his work and declara-
tions have made him obviously great.
Taft stands for a whole people, not
for section, not for a class, not for
a special interest. And that is why
he is the candidate of the whole
party.
He would poll heavier vote than
any of the other candidates. And
that is why the party organization, as
well as the rank and file, will line up
for him more and more as the days
go by.-Kansas City Star.
