Too Late! Too Late!


The foolish virgins of the BIZ
BILE story were turned away from
the feast because they had been
idle and thoughtless while await
ing the coming of the BRIDE
groom. The Democratic leaders
of Missouri spent forty years in
talking free trade and free sill
yer, and in fighting Republican
ideas, waiting for the day when
Missouri would take an upward
start and become the center of
agricultural. industrial. mining
and manufacturing activity. Lit
tie it was they did to hasten the
coming of such an era as the
state has now entered upon.
The people lost confidence in lea
|dership and such government as
the Democrats had long main
tained. and at the first opportu-
nifty put them aside. Now the
Democratic leaders are planning
to- Get Back. Speaking of the
conditions necessary to their re-
|storation, Acting Chairman John
son of the DemocralicState COM
mittee said:
"The Democratic party in
Missouri must first get the
confidence of the people. and
then give them an absolute
ly fair deal, then nominate
clean men on honest and live
issues, recognizing the fact
that the party is greater
than any man or any fac
ton"
Alas, alas, Mr.. Johnson; your
party cannot gain the confidence
of the people. That confidence.
gradually impaired through late
years. mas been utterly destroy
ed. And present proceedings
and agitation on the part OF DEM
ocratic leaders indicates that the
coveted confidence is not desired
for the good of the people bnt
for the sake of the Democratic
party. Their eager plan is for
harmony and a clean ticket in or
der to elect Democrats over Re-
publicans; not tc serve the inter-
ests of the state so much as to
guarantee party success
Mr.. Johnson will find il hard
to present any "honest and live
issues" not already presented and
honored by the Republicans:
He will find thar .hcre is domi-
nant in the Democratic mind an
idea that several ambitious lea
ders are bigger than their party,
and when amputasion of some of
| the troublesome members of the
Democratic body is attempted,
the patient will not survive the
operation.
The people of Missouri have
lost confidence in the Democrat
ic party for reasons that have
not been, and cannot be, remov-
Jed. The penitent will have to
bring forth fruits meet for peni-
ltence before quitting the mourn
Icrs' bench. The people are not
all ready to accept mere declara-
| tions of conversion. The mer
Iwho led their party to forfeit
ure of the public confidence are
not the men to lead it to better
career, These men are just now
most solicitous for party harmo-
Iny, and profess TO be eager fol
party purity. 1t is well 10 give
/ them time to show their sinceri
ltv They are too fresh from thu
fields Of political pollution to b
invited into gardens of politica
lpurity.

OPEN WINTER PREDICTED.
Signs of nm Open Winter that Are Said
TO BE Really and Truly Correct.

The first snow to give good sleigh
ing or good deer tracking came on
December 8. Last year we were fav-
ored with snow ON November 10.
There is very little ice in the lakes
In the back woods, as will be we'll
understood by those who read of the
drowning accident at Eustis.
Predictions are freely made that
We are going to have an open winter
in Maine this year In fact there has
been practically no cold weather yet,
and SO we have gained a month at
least. The hogs "brisket' is the
same size all the way this year Snow
buntings have not arrived in any
numbers and the leaves stayed on the
trees late. All are signs of an open
winter. Another sign is that it is
open"

Moose Season in Maine Is Over.

The moose season in Maine is now
but memory as it became illegal to
kill a moose Wednesday morning, De
cember /, just before 1901 a. m.
Last year. Dec. /, showed only
III moose against the 121 of today,
while the II bears did not compare
any more favorable with the 26 of
1909 than the 2519 deer of 1909 do
with the 1906 of 1908. From eight
to a dozen more moose are to be ex-
pected this season, nine making a to-
tai of 1876, arriving in December, 1908.
The grand total of nearly 1900 in
1908 will no doubt be larger than
this years total.

Verses.

The Tilden and HAYES campaign
of '76 as notable for the absence ol
Republican electioneering musical in
spiration. There was one Peter
Cooper song. one Greenback song, and
one very poor attempt at satire upon
Tilden and Hendricks called The Kan
garoo Ticket" written for a Republi-
can club in indianapolis. There were
two Tilden songs, one entitled THE
Radical Rogues," in which the sins
o. omission and commission of the
Republican administration were elab-
Grated upon, and one "Tilden and
Reform" commencing Come, all ye
honest Democrats, let each man
raise his voice" Little campaign
music was used in the Garfield and
Hancock contest of 1880 and that lit
tie contained nothing worthy of note.
The great struggle between the
"Plumed Knight" and THE Sheriff
of Evil" in 1884 gives us a curiosity
in that the great German war song
Die Wacht am Rhein,' makes its ap-
pearance with some clever verses en-
titled The Plumed Knight and the
Black Eagle" tthe latter being the
sobriquet of Gen. John A. LoganD
| One verse follows:
They come! they come, the mighty
/ twain,
Mid storm and sunshine, flowers
and grain
"The Plumed knight looks to the
skies,
And onward the BLACK Eagle" flies.
"The Man from Maine" was sung to
the air, The Sword of Bunker Hill,

lips, "Softly Georgie-gray hairs, you know"

watching her with amused smile.
"Oh, Pm serious, George, | read the other day
about woman who noted for her remarkably
sweet disposition. She never said anything ugly
she never hurt anybody's feelings-sho never was
out of temper"
'Must have been you Helen" He reached down
and pressed the slender fingers busily twisting the
long silk fringe Of the mantle scarf,
ooh, but this isn't Joke, George! Yes-she
was truly all Of that. But how do you suppose she
managed to keep it up?'
"Had an agreeable, considerate, obliging hus-
band, l suppose"

woman very often had just cause to be unpleasant
