What Might Be Done.

What might be done if men were

What glorious deeds, my suffer-
ing brother.
Would they unite
In love and right,
And cease their Scorn of another!
Expressions heart might be imbued
With kindling drops of loving
!. kindness.
And knowledge pour
From shore to shore,
Light on the eyes of mental
blindness. +"

All vice and crime might die to-

To each man born,
Be free as warmth in summer

The deepest sunk in guilt and

Might stand erect

be done.
And more than this, my suffer
ing brother;
More than the tongue
Ever said or sung,
If men were wise and loved each

Hadley's Last Gold Brick.

Gov. Hadley has worked off an
other gold brick on the people of
Missouri. With a great flourish of
trumpets he succeeded in getting
through the last legislature bill to
tax liquor which would bring into
the State revenues annually $780,
600 from the rectifiers. The law
has been found unconstitutional
and full of holes. Yet Hadley

The Tears in Books.

1t is not hard to understand why,
when book makes you laugh, you
want to read it and read it over
and over again. But it is rather
puzzling to find that one also en-
joys reading and re-reading books
that make one want to cry. What
can there be in us that likes to be
made unhappy? In real life we
don't try to do things" that will
make us suffer mot at all. But
there are books that you cannot
think of, once you have read them
without tears coming to your eyes,
and yet you will find that you love
those books perhaps more than
any others.
To feel deeply is one of the best
things in life, and there, maybe,
lies the explanation of why we do
love sad stories. They make us I'M
happy in a way, but they do not
leave behind any bitterness or sense
of personal loss. And they usually
have a special beauty of their own.

The Republics Usual Warning
The St. Louis Republic has
sounded a great note of warning.
which as usual amounts to moth
ing, as the Republic has no inffu-
ence in the state as a Democratic
paper. The attack on Jas. A. Reed
in a late issue of this mugmump
sheet did not smack very loud of
harmony. The Times will not
likely support Mr.. Reed for the SEN
ate. but it does not endorse the Re-
public's attitude in this matter. Mr..
Reed had a right to have his friends
at the meeting in Kansas City, just
as any other candidate for the SEN
ate, and he should not be censured
for doing so. The Republic, of
course, will ruin Hon. D. R. Francis
chances by mugwump tactics. -
