Party Names.

The Kansas City Post rightly
points out that in a Republican
form of government, the basic diff
ferences of parties will consist of
only two broad principles. One is
the rule of the people, the other of
officials.
In one, the officer accepts office
as a public trust, as an agent Of
the people and is responsive to
their will; the other believing that
selection for office invests the
official with authority that is high
er than the people; that this con-
test is continuous. That the priu-
ciple of one is to let the powers
of government rest where it belongs
with the will of the people; that
of the other makes the official the
arbiter, the court of final resort
and removes power from the
people.

Hon. D. R. Francis one of Mis-

While nine-tenths of the democrats
in this county are for Jas. A. Reed
yet, all extended him full Missouri

held in high esteem by all even
though they may not be for him
for the Office to which he at pres

him or in any wise dull his already

So She Cried.

Miss Muriel Million was sitting alone
With a very disconsolate air;
He fluffy blue tea gown was fasten-
ed awry,
And frowsy and rumpled her
hair.
"Oh, what is the matter?" said in
alarm.
Il beg you in me to cOnfide;;'
But she buried her face in her 'ker-
chief of lace
And she cried, and she cried, and
she cried.
Come ont for q spin in the auto
mobile,
The motor boat waits at the pier;
Or let's take drive in the sunshiny
park,
Or canter On horseback, my dear.
Twas thus that | cOaxed her in
lovelike tones
AS | tenderlY k leit at her side;
But refusing all comfort she push
ed me away,
While she cried, and she cried
and sin cried.
Pray whisper, my darling this
terrible woe,
You know | would love you the
same
If the millions of papa had vanish
ed in smoke
And you hadn't a cent to your
name.
If you came to church in a gar
ment of rags
would wed you with rapturous
pride"
She nestled her cheek to my Shout
der at this,
Though she cried, and she cried,
and she cried.
You know" she exclaimed, in a
piteous wall,
That love of hat that | wore
The one with pink roses and chiffon
behind
And a fluffy pink feather be-
fore?
paid Madame Modiste a hundred
for that,
And our parlOr maid, Flora Nc
Bride,
Has got one just like it for three
twenty-five"
And she cried, and she cried, and
she cried.

Truth About Women?

Men are not capable of telling the
truth about woman, or Ofunderstand-
ing what the truth is, because they
are handicapped by their sex. The
few men who have managed to for
get the sex part have gone to the
other extreme and have damned
woman unduly with loud curses as,
for example, Schopenhauer and
Weininger. To tell the exact truth
about women is impossible for any
man, There is always a chance that
while you are attempting this i'm
possible trick, you may fall in love
with the woman. Life.

The Big Issue For a Neuu State

Conservatives, reactonares, towards all the
try and college bred theorists in particular, horror
sticken what the Arizona constitution builders pro-
pose to do in respect of the judiciary.
The majority in the Phoenix convention, who ought to
know best what would be protection against looting of
the state by Big Interests, propose to make petition
of 25 per cent Of the voters sufficient vote
recall Of judges. This is pronounced to be stupdly
vicious, putting the law at the mercy of the mob, "a
blow at judicial dignity" CONCESSION to cranks," ETC.
But hope to just exactly that proposition offered
of the constitutional provisions of the state
We hope to state in which judicial dignity is
not cloak for judicial injustice.
There is not and will be state in which 25 per
cent of the voters should not have prompt hearing
before the courts but before the whole state One of the
commonest and most costly and most contemplate
to deny justice and final hearing to the minority has
been to compel it to carry it's through the courts

what Arizona and many other states need above ali
else for judges have making the laws that control
all the property rights and all the freedom of the people,

guns Let them pass the question of popular power for

The hobbies. pendants and fol-
bles of stage-folk are things to
wonder at.
For instance, DeWolf Hopper
simply dotes on teeny-weeny lead
ing ladies.
When good fortune threw Miss
Louise Dresser in his way last sum-
mer. Mr.. Hopper was glad; but he
missed the Lilliput aid that he had
become accustomed to. That's
why he has dainty Dorothy Webb
in the company that is playin "A
Matinee Idol"
Mr.. Hopper cheerfully admitted
his fondness for the little ladies OF
the stage when l detected him
counting up the advance sale in
the box office Of the theater.
Don't be shocked, please, Mr..
Hopper simply confesses to a pro-
fessional fondness for the little
ones. And, thank the gods, he
doesn't refer to them as "broilers"
or squads" or anything Of that
sort.
Far be 1t from VIII to daily with
that sort of persiflage.
Will? Oh, yes-that's what bis
friends call him. The DeWolf part
of 1t is just for the program and
the bill boards.

But it passed quickly.
