Iddgerwood Broadaxe: When the
coalition, or union, or combination, OF
harmony between insurgents and stall
warts in this state was announced, me
Rroadaxe felt and said that no good
could come from it for the progressive
cause. 1t felt, and it said, that the
combination or harmony or the TWO
sides on the one ticket was an anomaly
and an anachronism. 1t believed, anu
it said. that there could no good which
in it's very essence ignored and sacrl-
feed principle. Thus, If the stalWarts
believed that the tariff was the best
ever and that things as they were mot
as they are-election has been held
sincel nv what reason could they blind
themselves to this belief and support
men like Gronna and Helgesen who
believed and said on the public plat
form that things as they were was
wrong and that the tariff was direct
violation of the party's pledge to the
people. And the same is true as to the
insurgents in their acceptance OF and
support of McCumber and Hanna.
There was only one available answer.
II was either the reason given by both
stalwart and insurgent-"party regl-
larity." Or it was the reason assigned
by those who were disconnected by
the combination and that was that
both sides wanted to be sure of the Of
fees and were willing to divide.
There is no more unwelcome man
than he who says: 81 told you So

"SPELLING DOWN."

citizens of the state. DR.. A. Ross Hill,
Of the University Of Missouri, Presi-

college, and Prof. Fl. N. Quisenberry,
of Stephens college are the promoters
of the plan. Dr. Hill and Mrs. st.
Clair will be the two captains and Pro-
lessor Quisenberry will select the hard
est words in the dictionary and con-
duct the match.
This great round in spelling is to be
given at the State University of Col
umbia and is benefit for the Y. w.

more than state interest because of the
distinguished men and women who will
submit their dictionary knowledge to

THE FAITHFUL HORSE.

A Forum subsCriber-who has a soft
spot in his heart for the horse-sends
us the following, which should be read
and heeded-by every person who
owns or drives one of the faithful ami
mails:
The season having come when you
are feeling well inclined toward all the
various types of folk who constitute
mankind--reserve a little kindness for
your faithful friend, the horse.
Behold him in the early dawn, and
note his patient mien-the worlds af-
fairs would nearly s$op should he de-
sert the scene. Behold him when the
night has come-with binding sleet or
snow. He does not pause to make
complalnt-'tis his to tug, and go!
His eyes should win your pity with
their patience, or their dread. He al
most seems, when hours are long, to
take a look ahead--and see a long pro-
cession of severe and joyless days, and
stony roads, and endless hills, for all
his toilsome ways.
He Graves so very little as his sti-
pend or reward. The things that make
for his content you could so well af-
ford. He breads the brutal burden
that is more than he can bear. His
soul is tortured by the lash that
whistles through the air.
He Graves your gentle patience wher
the way is steep or dim. He asks as
you'd be dealt by-so you will dea
with him. He is perplexed enough to
find the hoofs beneath him slip-thert
is no need of cruel rein, or oath, OF
heavy whip.
And so it is suggested that some
kindness you reserve, and offer to this
patient beast whose lot it is to serve
He is not quite as good as you've
grant you that. Of course. But still
he is faithful friend-the plodding
! patient horse.
