ORIGIN OF MAY DAY CUSTOM
Old Roman Feast Of F~Iorans-PS
cvlIsr Methods Of Celebrating
In Former Times.

The actual origin Of the May day
custom appears to have been the old
Roman Floralia, celebrated on April
20 and instituted in Rome 241 B. G.
on account of a season when the har-
vest vas very poor. In the mediae-
val May festival an important fea-
ture was a nocturnal expedition to
the forest, whence branches we're
gathered and fastened to the doors
of many homes by neighbors as an
evidence Of good wishes and loyalty.
The first of May throughout Great
Britain and to a lesser extent in
France and Germany was formerly
celebrated with festivities, which
still have their local but much at
tenuated spirit. From the many
diverse ways in celebrating the al
most obsolete custom at Brightwal-
ton, Berkshire, where the Virgin and
Child, in the guise of the May queen
with a doll in a basket, are borne
around the parish, may come the
custom obtaining in parts of New
England, where the children are
wont to fill baskets with flowers for
the homes.
The baskets are sometimes tied to
doors and left, the givers hurrying
away SO as to avoid discovery.
In Sweden May day is still cele-
brated in ways strangely similar to
the ancient Roman custom.

. NEW DEPARTMENT
AT COLUMBIA.

The College OF Agriculture has
recently established the first Farm
Management devoted exclusively
to this subject in the United States.
This department will consider the
factors of production as they re-
late to the successful administers
ton OF farms.
d. H. Doane, a graduate OF the
Missouri College OF Agriculture
and the first man in the United
States TO take an advanced de-
gree in Farm Management, has
been elected to the position OF
Assistant Professor in charge. Mr..
Doane has spent four years in
studying systems OF successful
Farm Management all over the
United States.
The instruction in Farm Manage
ment in the University of Missouri
has heretofore been given by Dean
F. B. MunEord and the demand for
this kind OF work has prompted
the college to add it as a district
demartment of College instruction.

WILL LAND AT MONTGOMERY,
$500 Guarantee Fund Raised to Sc.
cure this City as Stopping Place
for Aeroplanes Sept l.

Just now the daily press is filled
with stories of the exploits of
men engaged in the manipulation
of aeroplanes, the vessels which
the ingenuity of man has made
comparatively safe vehicles of
aerial navigation. The interest of
the public concerning this new
mode of travel is at fever heat,
though few people outside the
cities have had the opportunity
of examining the wonderful mech
anism of one of these machines.
On the first day of September
the citizens of Montgomery coun-
ty will have a chance to examine
in detail the workings of the fin
ished aeroplane with all of the
latest appliances.
On September / an aeroplane
flight from St. Louis to Kansas
City has been arranged. There
are to be not less than six aero
planes in the contest, which will
be for a purse of $4,000, the one
making the best time while in the
air carrying off the premium. The
10000 purse has been raised in
st. Louis and Kansas City. There
are to be several stopping places
along the proposed route, and
Montgomery City, by raising a
guarantee of $500 to cover a GER
tain proportion of the expenses
incident to the flight, will be one
OF these places.
The machines will land in the
fair grounds, and the opportun-
ity is open for all citizens of the
county, by paying a small gate
fee, to e these aeroplanes land
and start, and DO examine them
in detail, as each machine is guar
anteed to remain here from a
half-hour to two hours, long
enough to give a good exhibition.
The following citizens subscrib-
ed to the guarantee fund, which
gives us the opportunity Of wit

mechanism:

THE SENATORIAL SITUATION.

A proviso of Section Z of Arti-
Gle 4 of the constitution gives to
the Governor, the Attorney-Gen-
eral and the Secretary of State
authority to apportion senatorial
districts after each decennial CEN
sus in case the legislature fails or
refuses to pass a redistricting bill.
No legislature since the consti-
tuition was adopted has been found
willing to agree to- such a gerry
mander OF the districts as Demo-
cratic party leaders demanded in
1881 1891 and 1901. Democratic
party leaders have always man
aged the matter so as to have the
Senate defeat bills for redistrict-
ing and let the three State Off
Gals named arrange and proclaim
a gerrymander guaranteeing the
election of twenty-one to twenty
three Democratic senators, leav-
ing it possible for the Republicans
to elect not more than thirteen.
The senate has had a Democratic
membership Uf more than twenty
since 1881 under this legislative
trick. Although the Republicans
have elected a majority OF the
members of the House of Repre-
s~entatives several times in late
years, and through their majority
In that body elected a United
States Senator In 1905, and, al
though they have twice in sue
cession carried the state, electing
five state officers and q member
Of the Supreme Court in 1904 and
electing the Governor and
Lieutenant Governor in 1908, the
Democratic majority in the Sem
ate has been maintained, with only
slight variation, as a result OF the
gerrymandering OF senatorial dis
tricts made possible by the proviso
OF section even.
No wonder, therefore, that At
torney-General Major and Secre-
tary of State Roach were found
ready to fight the proposed
amendment to the Constitution
which knocks out the proviso OF
section seven and redistricts the
the state by a vote OF the people.
Those two officials, extreme parti-
sans, both of them, will have the
privilege of gerrymandering the
senatorial districts in 1911 IL Sec
ton seven remains in force, for
the Democratic senate will hardly
agree to any redistricting bill that
will reduce the Democratic ma
jority in that body. The House
lie. quite sure to be Republican in
1911 and, unless the people rise in
their might and elect Republicans
in some OF the gerrymandered dis
tricts-as they ought TO do-the
Senate will be Democratic. Under
such conditions the Democrats
must, and undoubtedly will, slook
to Major and Roach to make the
gerrymander in 1911 under which
the Senate may be held by them
ten years longer.

In case the three state o@....c.-
( charged with the redissr.ct'nr
Governor Hadley cannot hope to
restrain the two Democratic off,
Gals, and should he refuse 20 APP
prove and proclaim such a gerry
mander as they may arrange The
Democratic Supreme Cours VII be
al their service TO compel the
proclamation.
II the people can be brolght to
understand this situation thcy
will the better understand why
Governor Hadley suggested The
proposed constitutional amend
ment and why he wants 1t cub
mitted to a vote Of the people (;
and they will also understand
clearly why Major and Roach and
heir Democratic co-workers were
so jealous in efforts to prevent
che submission OF this amendment,
for which $4,000 qualified voters
petitioned and which the best
newspapers and the best citizens
OF the state approve.

NO MYSTERY ABOUT 1T.

Just why Judge Halliburton was
at the side of Roach to get his
case into the Supreme Court be-
fore the Republicans could act was
not a mystery to the Republican
leaders, who not only watched
every movement of Roach and
Major but knew in advance what
their movements would be, and
knew what interests were involved
in the test to which the senatorial
amendment petition would be
subjected. II the Democratic
schemers involved in the effort to
destroy the initiative and refer
endum law of the people think
they were plotting in secret they
are due to- experience a rude
awakening. Because the people
have been easily deceived FOR
many years does not necessarily
imply that they can be deceived
this year and next. The truth will
out and when IL stands forth some-
body will stand back.

Once upon a time there was a fox
who boarded q street car and looked
about in vain for a seat. At length
he espied above his. head several
punches of fine straps. He tried to
reach them but could not. he tried
again and again, but they always
eluded his grasp.
Finally he gave it up. ooh, very

TO SAVE YOUNG coNvIcrs.

TO SAVE YOUNG CONVICTS.
There are no opportunities in a
great prison like the Missouri PEN
itentiary for appealing to and de-
termining the better qualities of
youths and young men i%ncarccrat-
ed there for crime. A boy or man
of the finest sensibilities and mos.
honorable purpose, led into crime
or drawn into it in an unusual
mood, may be ever so repentant
and ever so anxious to redeem his
good name while suffering the
penalty of his crime and yet his
cell mates and his prison associa-
ties and all of his prison enviro-
ments may be, and as a rule are,
against his nobler nature. Harden
ed criminals who have no purpose
in life and vicious men who crave
liberty only that they may commit
crime a only discourage the
young convict who wants another
to become a good citizen, while
better influences cannot be ex-
erted upon him under the sys-
tenn of prison discipline that must
be maintained. How to separate
and individualize convicts is a
serious problem. Gov. Hadley has
two plans under consideration now
for the benefit of young convicts.
One is an intermediate prison,
which he will ask the legislature
to provide. The other is a tempo
rary or experimental disposition
OF young c~onvicts by finding safe
employment on farms for such of
them as are capable of farm work,
and then paroling them during
good behavior. They will be al
lowed to accept and use their
wages under proper restrictions.
Under the parole law he can thus
liberate many of the five hundred
young convicts from prison life
and give them a chance of re-
demption under healthful and
useful employment. This is the
idea in brief. It's practical appli-
cation involves details the Cover
will work out. He is deter
mined to save, If possible, the
hundreds OF youn gconvicts who
may become good men If encour-
aged but who may become worse
men than when convicted il they
must remain in the penitensiary.
OF the five hundred or more
young men under twenty-five
years OF age who are now in the
pentitentiary all but a very few
r there for a first offenseb and
two thirds of them may be re-
deemed. Some r too delicate for
hard labor but most OF them are
adapted to farm work. A few Of
them cannot be safely liberated.
Each case will require separate
consideration. sSa
