Money Won't Buy Great Song.

The offer of $1,000 for song that
will make Missouri famous will not
be productive Of great results, for
really worthy songs are not written
in that manner. It 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 1t 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

have earned the money. Some da,

Meyer Wants Big Repair Ship to
Add to Fleets.

Washington, Nov.-In raising a
naval program for next year Secre-
tary Meyer will ask congress to pro-
vide for a repair ship equipped with a
complete machine shop for all emer-
gency work, or failing to get the re-
pair ship, the equivalent in cost OF
such a craft in torpedo boat Destroy
ers. This includes in addition two
26,OOO-ton Dreadnaughts, which it
has long since been understood the
secretary would recommend.
The repair boat desired would have
a speed equal to the fastest battleshlp
afloat, so that in all cases it could
keep with the fleet. This program,
| il is understood, will practically COM
plete the secretary's recommendation
so far as large additions to the naval
establishment is concerned. 1t was
desired to make additional recon-
mendations, but the presidents &C

mates in accordance with his plan fol

"COurts an Aid to Sin. "

New York, Nov.-Bishop 0. P.
Fitzgerald, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, at Nashville, Tenn,
has telegraphed here the following
opinion concerning recent divorce
agitation:
1t is a generally accepted truism
that the sacredness of the marriage
relation measures the civilization OF
any country. This is true of all peo-
pie everywhere without regard to
race, color or previous condition.
Judged by this standard, the outlook
for our country is not encouraging.
The divorce evil is increasing. In
the higher walks Of life where there
is most money and ought to be most
intelligence and superior virtue, the
sin and shame of divorce have in.
creased alarmigly.
The secrecy of the proceedings is 9
feature that tells its own story. The
hidden works of darkness are thus
confessed. The remedy is with pub
lie opinion that will express itself il
wider laws and a better practic'
among our clergy and civil officers.

Hon. Case Broderick, who for eight |
years represented this congressional
district in the lower house of con-
gress, has come to the defense of the
Payne annon-Aldrich tariff bill pass
ed at the last session of congress.
Summed up and boiled down his
defense amounts to this: The cost OF
living has not been materially increas-
ed and the farmers are prosperous.
What, we might ask, was the OBJ
iect of calling congress together in
extra session? If all the result OBJ
tanned is that the cost of living has
not been materially increased then
the session was certainly a failure,
What the people, the consumers, ex-
pected was that the cost OF living
would be somewhat decreased. II
all congress accomplished was to
slightly increase the cost of living
then il was a failure,
However, to our mind the impor-
tant thing to consider about this law
is not whether the cost of living was
increased but whether the law is fair.
