over which tamllleS, lrlehuS anu
neighbors need be divided. 1t
is merely a debate as to which OF
two men the party as a whole
prefers as a representative IN
the greatest Legislative body IN
the world. When the judges
the voters of the party have
spoken the campaign should end
and the contest be forgotten. In
this road lies the welfare of any
party and the good of the whole
people. So when the present
Senatorial campaign is ended 1t
viii be an added laurel to the
fame of Governor Francis if
his every public utterance shall
be so fully typical of the man as
has been the ease thus far.
Temptations to personal strife
are found on every hand Of a
campaign whether it be for town
marshal or President of the
United States. 1t takes a real
statesman sometimes to abstain
from these temptations.
1t occurs to Governor Francis
that the reputation of public
men need not be trampled in
the dust, their motives miscOn-
construed and their views mis-
represented all as a part Of the
price for a public office. He be
lieves it is better to be h%onorably
defeated in a clean campaign
than that victory should be won
at the price of party discOrd.
So the voters of Missouri are
hearing from the stump the
speeches of Governor Francis and
Mr.. Reed. The Old-time oratory
of the Kansas Cityian is echoing
again through the hills and dales
of Missouri. AS a speech-maker
Reed has always stood high
with MiSsourians.
Opposed to him is Governor
Francis who has the reputation of
knowing personally more Mis-
sourians than any other former
governor of the State.
One candidate appeals by the
brilliance of his eloquence to a
body of men before the speakers
stand while Governor Francis
through his rare qualities of per-
sonal magnetism, superior ability
and force of character wins his
friends in a campaign of hand
shaking that enables one to
know the man. BY this it must
not be understood that Governor
Francis is lacking in power of
expression. His public utteran-
ces for years have been heard
both from picnic platform and
at the Courts of Kings. He is a
thorough man with wide exper-
fence. There is less of oratory
perhaps and more of sound
argument in what he says and
this cannot fail to leave a more
lasting impression.
The opportunity to choose a
man like Governor Francis for
the Senate doubtless will not be
by Missouri Democrats.
Behind the speeches of the can
didates, behind the personal cam
paigns at the country picnics and
political gatherings looms up the
sterling qualities Of Governor
Francis as a public servant.
His start in life with only his
indOmitable personality as an as
set, his rise to individual sue
cess and all along the way the
distinguished public service he
found time to render are matters
of general comment. He is one
Missourian who is known in the
hamlets and villages of the re-
hottest states, a man nationally
and internationally great, one
who has done them honor. Shorn
of flowery rhetoric and trans
lated into popular language Gov

SIuo. Hard Work.


It is possible to save money in carry
ing on this government and we are strug-
CLING In this administration to find out
how modern principles of business organ
ization and efficiency may be applied to a
governmental structure that has been
handed down for a hundred years and
has never been recognized with the idea
of securing modern business economy.
But IT is hard work, and when one speaks
glibly of $500 900, 900 being saved each year
in the ordinary conduct of the govern
ment, and when that saving is to be
made under the direction of a party so
lacking In everything that goes TO make
up business cohesiveness and singleness

we may regard the statement as Pick
wickian.

Andy Meleen, aged millionaire miner Is dying and orders will drawn up, leaving all his property to the son of a sister of whom he has heard nothing for years, and whose married name he does not know. Meleen was married years before
 but left his wife after a quarrel in which he struck her. He learned later that she and their daughter were dead. The scene shifts to New York, introducing Wilfrid Stennis, who is telling his fiancee, Eunice Trevecca, what he would do If he were the possessor of wealth. In the law of flee of Carboy, Passavant &s Cozlne, at torneys for the estate of Meleen, Roger News reports the result of his search for heirs of Meleen. He conceals the fact that he has discovered that Meleen's daughter is living. Wilfrid Stennis replies to an ad- vertisement for information concerning his dead mother, Martha Meleen. and is told that he is the heir to Andy Meleen's millions. He wants to marry Eunice at once, but she resolutely demurs. He meets Clara Passavant, frivolous daughter of his attorney.

 Because 1t always seemed to me very wise arrangement for both or you. She has beauty, refinement, and social position; you have the money What more could the world ask?
 There! it was out, and Eunice felt that she could breathe more freely. Again and again during the past two years she had schooled herself to make some such indifferent speech as this.
 Wilfrid gasped. This was the girl who had promised always to wear his ring: who had assured him that what ever happened she would never cease to care for him!
 By Jove!" he thought, she's hard as nails. Never gave her credit for that sort of thing!" But aloud he said, with some show of dignity:
 You seem to have left one item out of your calculations, Eunice."
