DIsFRANCHIsING NoN-voTERs.

Governor Joseph w. Folk Of Mis-
souri,, in his last message to the stat,
legislature, has recommended tina
non-voters be DISTINGUISHED. He says
THE exercise of the franchise
is the highest duty Of citizen
ship, yet how careless many are
in using this privilege--how in
different many are as to whether
they vote or not! When a cor
poration obtains franchise it Is
forfeited for non-user. Let this
principle be applied, with proper
safeguards, to the voting fran
chise and 1t will do much to
remedy the evil Of civil indif-
( ference"
Political enemies of Governor Folk,
both within his own party and out
side of 1t, will doubtless aver that his
suggestion is an outcropping of the
executives bitterness consequent up
on his defeat in the recent state pri-
maries as candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for United States
senator. Beyond any question, the
governors defeat was due either to
corruption in the large cities Of the
state or to the failure Of the best ele-
ment Of Democrats to visit the polls

euchre parties, IN which the trophies
are cut glass and chinaware, as well
as to bridge and poker parties, in
which high monetary stakes are the
prizes. "
No gambling mother" can effec-
lively instruct her children in moarls,
to pray to God, or cause them to
learn and feel what they shoul assim-
Hate. Nor can she efficiently warn
them against vice Of any kind. For,
even if they attempt to do it, their
dangerous example will counter
weigh their formal counsels. There is
an intoxication without wine, and
teh gambling spirit pervades the
whole nature. In many a house wine
and tea seasoned" with brandy add
to the charms Of Bridge Whist par
ties, and the hostess has been known
to abstain that she ''may play
surer."
The religion of those who give
themselves up to such things may not
be hypocritical, for many are
thoughtless, but it must be formal
and useless.
The corrupting influence of the
gambling mother also reaches the
children, indirectly, through the hus-
band. There are young Christian
men who would gladly make theirs a
Christiana household. But they are
deferred by the influence of their
wives, who are ambitious to give the
gayest Of dinners and Bridge parties.
These mothers, some OF them profess
eddy Christians, have given them
selves to pleasure and are swallowed
up in it's vortex.
Dungeoned in a prison in the
middle West was a young man
chained to an iron bed, awaiting the
day of execution. His mother, whom
he had not seen in years, came to the
prison to take leave of him. To the
horror of the chaplain and even Of
the jailer, he refused to have the in
terview. She came to the door and
pleaded with him. So far as his
shackels would allow he turned his
back upon her exclaiming:
sf y
Go away!
1T was you that put the wine to
my lips.
1T was you that taught me to
gamble.
ut was drinking and gambling
that brought me here"
Abnormal indeed was this treat
ment Of mother. But amidst her
sobs the unhappy woman confessed
that the accusations were true.
What a contrast with the happiness
of that woman Of whom it can be
said:
Her children arise up, and call
her blessed; her husband also, and he
praiseth her. Favor is deceitful, and
beauty is vain, but a woman that
feareth the Lord, she shall be

THIS is FROM IOWA

A farmer had a mile of tile that
quit working and he went to the low
er end to investigate says the Britt,
Iowa, Tribune. He found 1t full OF
snakes of all kinds that had crawled
into the tile and became wedged
there. Failing to pull them out he
got his team and tying a rope around
them started to haul them out. After
a good sharp pull or two, the team
loosened them, when 1t was found
that the first ones had crawled till
they came to the end of the tile, those
that followed becoming hungry swal-
lowed the one ahead, and was in turn
swallowed by the one that came after.
In this way they filled the tile full.
He pulled out over eighty rods of
snakes, and as each had swallowed
one, that had also swallowed one,
that had also swallowed one, etc, and
as each had been swallowed by one,
that had also been swallowed by one,
etc., 1t was estimated that originally
there must have been 23S miles OF
snakes in the tile. The first one was
chasing a. bullfrog, which luckily
escaped by crawling through hole
in the side of the tile, but the snake
couldn't bend short enough to make
the turn. 1t was a close call for the
bulIfrog and the tile now works to
perfection.
