Money Won't Buy Great Song.

The offer of 1000 for song that
will make Missouri famous will not
be productive of great results, for
really worthy songs are not written
in that manner. 1t was not the
thought of money that caused Esther
Clark to write the Call Of Kansas,
for the poem was sent for publication
to friend without thought Of ex-
pectation of payment. The song was
written because she felt it and had to
write it, and if she had been offered
many thousand dollars to write an
other poem that would touch the
hearts of the people in a like man.
ner, it is probable that she could not
have earned the money. Some day
some one may feel it in his heart to
write a poem singing the glory of old
Missouri, and when that day comes
he will write it and those who read It
will feel their hearts glowing with
pleasure, but the poem will not have
been written for money and the writ
er will get but little for it-Lawrence
(Kan.) World.

Oklahoma Gas For Missouri.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov.-Kansas
City is now burning gas from Okla
homa. The Kansas fields practically
are exhausted. Gas experts say,
however, that the wells in Oklahoma
are so much deeper and stronger
than those of Kansas, which have
lasted three years, that they should
furnish gas from seven to ten years
without difficulty.
Several weeks ago, when, with the
weather still above the freezing point,
the weakness of the pressure was no.
ticed here, it was somewhat Of
mystery, as the gas company had had
little difficulty before except when
the mercury was within Is degrees
of zero.
An investigation of the situation
confirmed a report that the Kansas
fields were becoming exhausted.
Recent court action in Oklahoma
has allowed the Kansas Natural Gas
Company to connect the pipe lines
with the Oklahoma fields.

BRYAN ATTACKS
THE SALOON.
The Personal Liberty" Plea De-
clared to be a Subterfuge.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 22.-William
J. Bryan's expected broadside against
the saloon and the doctrine of per-
sonal liberty will appear in the forth
coming issue of the Commoner. Mr..
Bryan declares the drunken man is
menace to those about him and the
saloon akin to disorderly house and
gambling hall, the rendezvous OF the
criminal element and the willing tool
of the corrupt politician.
Discussing the campaign OF liquor
dealers and the issue of personal lib
erty, he says;
'The liquor dealers, recognizing
that their obvious pecuniary interest
would lessen the weight Of any argu-
ment which they might publicly ad-
vance, are making their fight under
cover of organizations purporting to
represent those who use liquor.
Well-meaning men have been misled
into believing that every attempt to
lessen the evils of intemperance is a
fanatical attack on personal liberty.
What is meant by personal lib
erty?" Does it mean person has
right to drink in any quantity at any
time and in any place, no matter
what injury he may inflict upon 9th.
ers? If not, with whom rests the
right to fix limitation? The right tc
drink does not necessarily include
the right to demand the establish
ment of saloon.

Cleaning Out the Hawks.

Charley WEIGH, out northeast Of
town, has a row of Is big hawks
hung along the road, which attracts
attention and comment from all pass
ers by. WEIGH and his neighbors
have been pestered by hawks for
some time. The pestiferous things
steal every chicken they can get their
claws on and some of them have
nerve enough to tackle young pigs.
WEIGH went to work on them with
the above result. Eighteen dead
hawks made quite a hole in the visi-
BILE SUPPLY of that neighborhood, and
he is going to keep at it until the
hawks left get so lonesome they will
leave the community. The modus
operandi is to set big trap under
certain dead tree on which the hawks
love to roost. Close by the traps
WEIGH places dead rabbit. The
minute MI. Hawk lights on the tree
he spies the rabbit and swoops down
to get il. Ninety-riine times out Of
100 the hawk puts his foot in the trap
before he gets the first course Of
rabbit devoured, and his hawkship
goes on the fence. That community
will enjoy immunity from hawks
next spring. -Warrensburg Journal

Republican reader, if you do not
endorse and uphold the tariff bill as
the best bill that was ever passed,
President Taft has accommodated
you with bell, book and candle;
Speaker Cannon has read you out OF
the party and Senator Aldrich has
cast you out into political darkness.
These three, who are in present con-
troll of the party, have spoken and
you are free to act according to your
best lights. The only way to make
the Republican party stand for your
views is to depose such leaders by
defeating them. The only way to de-
feat them is to vote the Democratic
ticket. Suppose you swallow your
wrath and humiliation and for reg
ularity's sake vote for the high tariff
gang under inward protest. You
then only help shackle your party
and stifle your own principles. If
you believe your party's pledge to re-
wise the tariff meant a revision in the
interest Of the people, it is your duty
to resent the betrayal Of your conf
dence. Clinton Democrat.

New York, Nova bill for in
creasing the salaries Of all federal
judges by from 5000 to 5000 a

ment of committee Of lawyers. The

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA.
They Clog the Pores---Only a
Liquid Can Reach the Inner
Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory Of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many.
different salves have been tried for
skin diseases. But it has been found
that these salves only clog the pores
and can not penetrate to the inner
skin below the epidermis where the
eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality Of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil of wintergreen as
compounded in D. D. D. Prescription.
After ten years Of cure after cure,
the worlds leading skin specialists
have accepted this as the true eczema
cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend D. D. D. Prescription at
$1.0O a bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we arranged with the D.
D. D, Laboratories Of Chicago for a
special large trial bottle at Is cents
on a special offer now. This first
bottle ought to convince every suf-
ferer, and at any rate, it win surely
take away the itch at once.

ALICE A ROUGH RIDER, TOO

Allie A hOUGn RlDEns IOO
Mr.. ROosevelt's Daughter, Writes
FrauIein KrOebel. Created Con-
sternatiOn at a Korean Recep-
ton by Dashing Up With q
Cigar in Her Mouth.
Berlin, Nov. 2.-Fraulein Emma
Kroebel, a German woman, who was
the chief mistress of ceremonies at
the court of the emperor of Korea in
1906, appears as the author of a book,
published here, which contains a Sec
ton dealing with the visit of the then
Miss Alice Roosevelt to Korea in that
year.
In her account Of the official recep-
ton to Miss Roosevelt she says the
emperor extended to the party an in
vitation to a reception at the grave
side of his departed consort, the
empress, and went there at the head
Of an imposing suite in order to give
the Americans fitting welcome,
Fraulein Kroebel describes the
arrival Of the Americans thus:
Shortly after the suite arriveda
tornado Of dust burst upon us, out OF
which a cavalcade of equestrians
emerged. AT their head rode DASH
ing young hersewoman clad in a scar
let riding habit, beneath the lower
extremities Of which peeped tight
fitting red riding breeches stuck into
glittering boots. In her hand she
brandished a riding whip, in her
mouth a cigar.
It was Miss Alice Roosevelt. We
were flabbergasted. We had expect
ed a different sort of apparition.
Everybody was bowling and scraping
in the most approved Korean court
fashion, but the Rough Riders
daughter seemed to think it all a
Joke. AS the mistress of ceremonies
stammered out few words Of
greeting, and the guest of honor
mumbled word of thanks, but moth
ing more. She was mainly interested
in the colossal figures of gods anc
the mammoth stone images OF ami
mails which hold watch over the
graves of the departed members O
the Korean dynasty.
Spying a stone elephant, which
seemed particularly to strike hel
; fancy, Alice hurtled off her horse ant
| in a flash was astride the elephant
shouting to Mr.. Longworth to snap
shot her. Our suite was paralyzet
: with horror and establishment. Sucl
a sacrilegious scene at so holy spo
was without parallel in Korean his
tory. II required indeed "Americal
! ways" to produce it.
It was a critical moment. The Sus
pense was relieved only by the pass
ing of tea and other refreshments
Alice remained oblivious to what wa
going on around her. Not word o
! thanks for her reception was forth
; coming. She chatted casually wit
! the wife of the American minister
Mrs. Morgan, and partook bravely Q
: the champagne and other delicacies
Suddenly she gave orders for tn
! saddling Of her horse and gallope
away with her male escorts like
l Buffalo Bill.

TAFT WANTS BIG NAVY.
Talks Ships and Waterways at
Norfolk, Va.

Norfolk. Va, Nov. 2-As one of
the concluding features Of the con-
vention Of the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways Association, and to accept again
the hospitality Of the people Of the
Old Dominion, President Taft came
to Norfolk Friday, reviewed mill
tary and naval parade, made two
speeches, In which he bespoke his
interest in practical system Of water
way improvements, to be carried for
ward on business like basis, and
not merely as means Of distributing
patronage; partook Of an oyster roast
under the shadows Of the towering
Cape Henry Lighthouse, and attend
ed q smoker in honor Of large corps
Of visiting newspaper men.
The President retired Friday night

Mrs. Taft and her sister, Mrs. Thorn
as X. Laughlin Jr., Of Pittsburg,
came ashore and went'on a sightsee-
ing expedition.
In his speech the President, after
detailing his views as to waterway
improvement, spoke a word for the
United States Navy, declaring tina,
the prestige of the nation demands
that the navy be kept to high stand
ard Of efficiency.
The President also declared that he
was in favor of fortifying Hampton
Roads, the greatest strategical nava
base in the world, by erecting an i'm
pregnable fort on an island placed
halfway between the Virginia Capes
He hoped to see the plan adopted
during his term as President.
President Taft mentioned the big
ger navy in referring to the battle o

STONE ASSAILS TARIFF
BILL IN ADDRESS.
Chances For Democratic Success
Are Growing, Declares Missou'
ri Senator in Speech.

jefferson City, Mo-, Nov.-United
States Senator William j. Stone dis
cussed national issues from the view
point Of the democratic party in a
speech here. The address had been
heralded as the probable keynote of
the party in the next campaign in this
state, so far as the tariff and national
expenditures are concerned.
Senator Stone assured his hearers
that the chances for democratic sue
cess are growing. He then plunged
into a long discussion Of the tariff,
declaring that after the republican
arguments "for infant industries"
and 'the necessity of protecting
American workingmen against the
cheaper labor of Europe" had been
nullified by economic advances, that
the party evolved the argument that
protection was necessary to assure
manufacturers "a reasonable profit
on their investments.
Law is Not Constitutional.
He questioned the constitutionality
of levying duties on such grounds
and added:
Zone class is singled out and it is
undisguisedly proposed to levy taxes
upon all others in order to insure a
profit upon the investments OF this
favored class.
Senator Stone declared the Payne
Aldrich bill schedules average higher
than those of the Dingley law. The
cost Of living, he said, taken in con-
junction with the higher return which
the American employer gets from his
workmen, makes the labor cost in
this country far less than the mere
difference in the daily wages paid
here and in Europe.
Expenditures Are Enormous.
Taking up national expenditures,
Senator Stone compared the Cleye-
land administration with those fol-
lowing II and declared that the total
appropriations for 1903, the first year
Iof the Taft administration, exceeded
by l27 per cent those for 1897, the
i last Cleveland year.
