Hadley,s speech at Springfield was
q clear bid for boilers. The gentle.
man has mistaken the spirit OF de-
mocracy this year. The voters have
no patience with a man who talks
antitrust laws for the purposes OF
Missouri politics, but urges the cleo.
ton OF Taft and endorses the policies
OF Uncle Joe Cannon upon the ques-
tion OF tariff. The tariff laws Of the
Republican party is the father OF all
trusts. Until Hadley can denounce
the Republican tariff laws, he should
close bis mouth upon the trust ques.
tion and anti. trust laws. His posi-.
tion is Inconsistent and he talks
trusts purely for local purposes.

EXECUTING a Death Sentence.

Prince Urussov writes in his me
moirs of a Russian Governor OF an
acquaintance. one Won Rohren, a very
kindly man. who liked to tell some
times Of his presence Of mind and his
police ability as demonstrated on one
occasion at his former post. He was
once called upon to be present at the
execution Of a Jewish criminal. The
condemned man hung the required
number OF minutes and was taken
down from the gallows, when the ply
sician was supposed to confirm his
death But it appeared that they had
forgotten to cut of the Jews long,
thick beard, thanks to which, although
the moose had deprived the man of
consciousness. It had not killed him.
Imagine yourself In my position"
said Rohren. "The doctor told me the
Jew would come back to life in five
minutes. What was / to do? 10 hang
him a second time held TO be impos-
sible, and yet / had to execute the
death sentence" But what did you
do, them" I asked and received the
memorable answer. Il had him buried
quickly before he regained conscious
ness"

A pretty southern girl recently show
ed herself a match for the curious
minded women in her boarding house
who were bent on knowing what her
fathers business was.
AS a matter of fact he was an un-
dertaker, but the girl was a bit sensi-
tive on this point. so she made up her
mind not to crafty their curiosity.
When unduly pressed on the point she
answered:
"He's a southern planter"
This was quite within the bounds Of
truth and completely threw the inquis-
tive one Off the track.
The retort Of well known actress to
a similar question about the occupation
Of her father, who was a letter carrier
In her old home, was not inferior in
hnesse to that Of the Dixie girl.
1t was when she first began playing
In London. Some one asking what
business her father was engaged in,
she sweetly replied that he was "a man
OF letters."-Pittsburg Leader.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

HE annual reports of Superintendent Twit-
4 myer and President Shortlidge, of the
Board of Education, are interesting reading to
those who are concerned in the conduct and man
agement of our public school system.
DR.. Twitmyer points out that methods of IN
structon change with the times, and it is the wise
educator who keeps abreast with the demands of
the day. AS the superintendent says, the schools
are eliminating the non-essentials in education
and simplifying the essentials so that more time
can be devoted to the practical and interesting,
the educative and valuable phases"
In his excellent report President Shortlidge
states the need of more revenue for the schools
AS the president says. 1--WE are under moral and
legal obligations TO maintain the highest standard
Of efficiency in Schools and as public-sprited,
patriotic citizens, dare not evade or shirk our
responsibility to the future citizenship Of this city
and State"
The interests of the schools should not be per-
mitted to suffer and the high standard attained bv
the present board, under the able leadership Of
DIR. Shortlidge will no doubt be sustained and
even improved upon as the board continues its ef-
forts in behalf OF the youth of the city

DEBATES IN CHURCHES.

n FTEN critics Of the churches say that the
~ edihces should be thrown open for the
practical use OF the people during the week The
ideal church dreamed of by Sociaistic retormers
contemplates a so-called peoples church, in which
services of an ethical nature are 70 be conducted
with addresses on religious and other topics for
the uplifting of the masses. At present some
churches approach that ideal on the principle OF
giving the people what they want.
One of the institutional" churches in New
York city is now the scene of public meetings. It
is the Church of the Ascension of the Episcopal
denomination. On Sunday evenings the services
OF the ritual are followed with coffee, sandwiches
and "red hot debate" The feast of reason is kept
up until near midnight, and the Socialists are
largely in evidence At typical Sunday night
the house" to use theatrical expression, IS
damned 10 the doors.
The rector has solved the problem of getting
people to church. Students Of sociology from the
universities about New York mingle with the
militant Socialists of the so-called lower world,
while the members of the church entertain the
visitors with luncheons. All attend respectfully to
the prayers and the singers, and then the speaker
mounts the platform and announces that he is
public meeting similar to that of the missions,
with the difference that the questoners are per
mitted to address the multitude
Some of the subjects discussed are the Brook
Farm, Plato's Republic, Moore's Utopia, Edward
Bellamy and William Morris. The large attend
ance shows that the people are intensely interest
ed IN social problems, and the topics discussed at
these meetings disclose the drift of their
thoughts and the great questions that they think
worthy of debate and on which they desire en-
Iightenment.

The hour of 4 a. M. has something

sounder, and even the watchful sentry
can't always keep his eyes open. At

1t is not surprising that it goes out.
Many a mans life has been saved by a
spoonful of ammonia administered lust
when the clock strikes 4. The period
OF deepest sleep varies from 3 to 8
o'clock. An hour or two after going
to bed you sleep very soundly, then
your slumber grows gradually lighter.

grade to grade, each step being accom-

feature is that he may earn wages,
which may be sent to his family, spent
