Work! Says Hadley.

Sedalia, Mo-, Oct. 7.-Governor
Hadley in opening the Missouri
Waterways and State Good Roads
convention at 9 a. m. today said
that the subjects confronting the
delegates and the state were para
mount to transportation and OF
much Importance to the welfare of
the country as the question OF
freight rates effects every house
hold. The chief executive sugges-
ted that every citizen, regardless OF
politics should get together and all
work for the general development
of the natural of Mis-
souri, and said he expected to see
more work along that line accom-
plished in the next few years than
ever before.
at is natural that we should all
have our political differences be-
fore election,n said Governor
Hadley, "but now that the elections
are over We should. all get togeth-
er and work for the development
OF the State"
Governor Hadley said that it was
time for the people to quit bowling
about taxation and get down to
good common sense and when ne
cessary for the improvement of
conditions to increase the taxes to
amount necessary to accomplish
good results.

When the joint convention was
called to order the Court House
was filled with the 600 delegates
from all parts of the State. Short
speeches were made in the fore
noon by Curtiss Hill, State High
way Engineer; VIM. H.. Boutwell,
Arthur c. Jackson, Chicago, presi-
dent of the National Good Roads
Congress and Illinois State Associ-
alton.
The Governor declared that Mis-
souri, has laws by which county
roads car be improved, but many
did not know about the laws and
others who did disregarded them,
but that in some counties the roads
had been built under the provision
of the laws.
Arthur c. Jackson, president of
the National Good Roads Associa-
ton in his speech declared in favor
OF public road improvements by the
National Government and predict
ed that the next Congress would
find more of its members active in
behalf of good roads and legisla-
ton ~favoring governmental i'm
provements.
He said that if Congress would
put more money in good roads than
in battleships the country would
be more prosperous. He declared
in favor of a postal savings bank,
and says one will be established re-

times the gift is neglected, forgot
ten, but again and again from those
that have passed through Ellis Is
land or those older Immigrants that
came to Castle Garden there re-
turns some word or mesl2ge of
gratitude for the Book. One man
in Nebraska sends an annual sub
scription to the society in appre-
citation OF a Testament received
many years ago when he landed
here an immigrant from Sweden.
A Norwegian woman who came re-
Gently through Ellis Island sought
out the veteran Of the Bible Society
and handed him fifty cents.
"Twenty years ago." she said, ~
landed here for the first time, and
you gave me a Testament and trus3
ed me to pay for a Bible. 1 told
you l would pay for it some day
when l could afford it. Ihave kept
the Testament and Bible all thcs,
years and read them faithfully.
Now l can pay fifty cents, and 1
want to do it,"
A Swede passed through che Is
land last year to whom the agen of
the Bible Society offered a Swed-
ish Testament. The foreigner
stared at the agent a moment and
then asked in English:
weren't you here twenty-six
years ago? 1 am sure you are the
same man."
When Mr.. Jackson told him he
had been in the work for thirty
years the Swede told him his story.
He had landed at Castle Garden
twenty-six years before, ana the
agent had given him a New Tesla
ment. He went West and settled.
He read The Testament and as a re-
suit OF that preaching he became a
preacher and for twenty years had
been preaching in Colorado. This
was his first visit 20 thu mother
country, from which h. was return
ing to take up his work again.

Diamonds Higher.

Carl L. Rost, a diamond merchant
OF Indianapolis, came to town yes
terday on the train that bore Doc
tor Cook to Kansas City. He said,
The cost of fall importations of
diamonds are just 70 1-2 per cent
higher than tha cost last spring.
Five per cent is due to the new
tariff PAW and 71-2 per cent is due
to higher wages for diamond cut
tiers in Europe. AS to the tariff,
of course they say diamonds are a
luxury. People can get along
without them. People can wear
calico and get along with out silk
dresses, too-but they don't"-K.

Another young man has been
laid by the heels for obtaining mon
ey through forgeries. 1t is a long
and unexplainable mystery why
young men imagine them selves
smart enough to commit crimes I'M
detected which much smarter men
have invariably failed to accomp-
fish in the past. Is it ignorance or
overweaning self-conceit that
leads men 20 think they can sue

A Marshall paper says that En-
glish naval divers ri taught to
save themselves when exhausted
by allowing their suits to fill with
air and then shooting TO the sur
face of the. water. England must
be way behind-the Marshall way
is to cactch the trailing rope of a
balloon, but if there's none to catch
you're in a deuce of a fix! Just
like the Englishman who lets his
air box at home.

A state law requires that finger
boards or guide posts be put up
at road crossings. Road over~eers
have this 20 look after and in our
opinion it ought to be attended to
as che little expense necessary will
pay many times the loss other wise
occurring in time wasted by the
travelling public. There's a fine
too for n~eglecting this.

William Jewsit college refuses to
aid young theological students who
chew or smoke. This stand seems
right as a masn receiving "minis-

bacco from thfssfund or be receiv-
ing aid while u uselessly spending
money. Not that 1T is wrong or a
sin, but simply because it is incon-

The little town of Grand Pass has

Under our new tariff bill hides
we're placed on the free list and of
course cheaper shoes for the mass
es ought to have resulted but it did
not. The deluded, farmer who
thinks he'll get his shoes cheaper
because he mpat sell his hides for
less must feel sold out. 1t seems
that as soon as the duty was remov
ed from hides,,athe dealers abroad
who control thsmarket at once adj
vanced their prices a sufficient
amount to offset the reduction in
the duty. The effect, therefore, of
free hides has been the transfer

We repeat what we have said
many times, and that is that the
best educator on the Tariff lues-
ton is a dose of Free-Trade. In
fact, this seems to be the only ed
