Douglas and the Tariff.

W. L. Douglas, former Democrat
ic governor of Massachusetts, adds
his word to what Judson Har-
mon and. John A. Johnson. Dem.
ocratie governors of Ohio and
Minnesota, have said to spur Dem
ocratic senators in congress to be
faithful in their tariff attitude to
the principles they profess.
AS a manufacturer of shoes Mr..
Douglas says: Il would gladly
swap any doubtful benefit from the
duty on shoes for the certain bene-
fits of free hides and leather" He
forsees as a result of a tariff on
hides, "a gigantic trust controlling
all the beef-packing, leather and
tanning shoe manufacturing indus
tries of this country" No higher
authority than Mr.. Douglas can be
cited.
A tariff on hides for the beef
trust; tariff on iron ore for the
steel trust; a retaliatory tariff on
Russian oil for the Standard Oil
trust; no concession to reduce the
cost of living; no movement to tax
wealth, not poverty. That is Mr..
Aldrich's idea and the idea of both
Democrats and Republicans who
follow his leadership.-St. Joseph
Observer.

Hadley is a Sraddler.

Hadley has been proven a Strad-
dler He played to the galleries on
the railroad rate question until he
was elected governor and now he
wants to abide by the terms laid
down by the railroads. He posed
as the farmers friend and when
elected governor he did his best to
make the legislature increase the
farmers taxes. He denied the
right of the people who elected
him to vote upon the question Of
prohibition and he sought CONSTANT
ly for a Capitalization of authority
in the hands of the governor.
So much for Mr.. Hadley, govern
or of Missouri by grace of Demo
cratic treachery and Republican
Misrepresentation. County

Beautiful as a Poem.

The following is a waif floating
about in newspaperdom without
any indications of its authorship:
rs religion true' l don't know
and don't care. But, if it is a lie, it
is the most beautiful one ever told,
one from which truth itself might
learn. Could we exist as a nation
without it? France tried it. Does
it do any harm? Then Why destroy
it? Don't. It's old as civilization.
1t was almost all our mothers.
We've been sung to sleep a thous-
and times by its hymns. We are
better men and women now when
ever we hear them sung. They are
joined to tender emotions. 1t has
made many a man happier and
better, more honest, tender and for
giving. Many a man and woman
have lain down within its shades
peacefully, nobody knows where.
Don't destroy it. Why nine-tenths
of the mothers in America believe
in it. That's enough for it. 1t has
been growing on our hearthstone
for ages. Let it stay there, it can't
hurt you. 1t is such a loving re-
ligion. What will you give in its
stead, if you take it away? Philoso-
ply? What are you to do when
tired and homesick? Love? Earthly
loves are so selfish. 1t is such a
beautiful delusion. Don't destroy it..
Weave the silver threads that reach
down from the star of Bethlehem
into the golden roof of sunlight.
Train its clinging tendrils around
the bare walls of our lives and COW
er up the jagged corners and rough,
unsightly places with this beautiful
Myth of Calvary"

rived and it has one ear and little
hoofs just below the posterns. The
Doctor thought a moment and then
hello: Kill the thing. The Judge
had failed to say the hoofs were
where they ought to have been and
that there was another ear Then,
