lican party. Yes, thel svoters
really did the job. Therefore
without detracting any from the
splendid work of Chairman
Dickey, Secretary Lake and their
able assistants, let us give credit
where credit is due and lay the
blame for the success of the Re-
publican party, where it belongs,
squarcly on the shoulders of the
majority of the voters of grand
old Missouri. The people of
Missouri won the victory. To
them the officials elected must ac-
count for the honor bestowed up
on them and upon the ability
and integrity of these officials will
hinge our chances for victory two
and four years hence, The people
are watching these officials.
There actions will decide whether
Missouri is to stay Republican or
to return to Democracy. Which
shall it be? It's up to you, M.
Hadley and your fellow Repub-
lican officials. If your conduct OF
the great offices entrusted to you
by. an intelligent and watchful
electorate, is all it should be then
Missouri will stay Republican.
If not, no state chairman, no or
ganizetion will hold the party in
power. "Hew to the line, let the
chips fail where they may" and
the people will endorse your adj
ministration and increase the
Republican majority from year to
wear.

She was In the habit Of obeying

The New Young Lady of the White
House.

While Ethel Roosevelt rides
we'll, she is not so skilled an
equestrienne as her brothers or
her mother, preferring to drive,
and is a crack whip. None of the
Roosevelts care for automobiling,
and almost never use the big
touring cars, which the govern
ment has placed at their disposal.
1t is the same thing with yachting.
The beautiful little yacht, The
Sylph, also government pro perty,
devoted to the use of the Presi-
dent, lies off Sycamore Hill dock,
week in week out during the
summer time, and is only used by
Miss Ethel to give her girl friends
or her Sunday School class an
outing.
This Sunday School in pictur-
esque Christ Church, Oyster Bay,
is one of Miss Ethel's greatest
interests. She is devoted to her
young pupils and is always plan
ming treats for them. The class is
composed of village boys and
girls, among them the little sons
of the village cobbler. She never
misses being in her place on
Sunday and is obliged to sacrifice
many weekend parties to which
she is invited in her devotion to
her teaching. She has never
taken a class in the church she at.
tends at Washington, as thu
President had not thought it ad-
visable.
Ethel Roosevelt is extremely
popular in Oyster Bay and knows
every man, woman and child in the
village. In Washington, of course
she has gone about very little and
made few friends except among
the younger set. This winter will
tell a different story, however.
When Alice Roosevelt made
her debut the White House was
turned into a fairyland. Beauti-
full flmy stuffs for gowns were
sent from the Orient, laces from
the cities famous for them, won
derful fans from Spain and flow
ers from everywhere. Great van
loads of the latter went up to the
White House on the day of her
coming-out ball--howers, which
the next morning were sent to all
the city hospitals to cheer the
sick. The whole world knew
that in greeting the ''little Amer
lean" they were greeting the
whole people of the United States,
for she represented the best type
of American womanhood-the
real ruler of the nation. So it will
be when Miss Ethel makes hel
