Hadley "Nonpartisanship."

Before the National Conference of
Charities and Corrections, one Of the
great institutions of the country,
which this year selected St. Louis as
the scene of its helpful labors, Gov
ernor Hadley delivered ''welcom-
ing speech" Discussing appoint
ments to the honorary positions on
the reformatory and charitable boards
of Missouri, he made a statement to
this effect:
With few exceptions all the Of
ficials have been selected along
partisan lines. | have since be-
came Governor endeavored to
modify the partisan character of
the management. Iappointed as
members of the boards men Of a
faith opposite to my own.
A grand THOUGHT, Sandy! A grand
THOUGHT! But where are the appoint
ments that justify such an estimate ol
gubernatorial merit and excellence?

has pursued in naming his owl

A Floating Sawmill on the Mis-

souri,.
From the Sioux City Journal.
Pierre, S. DE-. Springfield, of LIE
Beau, has launched a stern wheel flat
boat on the Missouri River at that
place, on which he carries a portable
sawmill. He will drift down the riv-
er, picking up logs, where he can
find any fit for lumber, and cut them
on the boat, marketing his product at
the various towns along the river,
and he expects to drift down as far as
Sioux City by fall and to make the
trip profitable one to himself
the lumber he will be able to cut from
logs, which will cost him only the
trouble Of catching them as they drift
down the stream or the little greater
exertion Of pulling them off sandbars
on which they may have lodged.

who is responsible?
IngeniOusly Worded.
The first great harm done by the
advertising quack is in calling a per-
sons attention to themselves by the
ingeniously worded and detailed ar
ray or symptoms, catchy and persuad-
ing to the neurotc, fear of the malady
advertised is the outcome, and with
fear comes a weakening of the will
and coinsidentally, persersion of
many functions. Secretions are stag
mated or turned loose in a torrent.
Patient becomes introspective, begins
taking the various nostrums, and
those not killed by dope die of
fear. Salrin, Knox, Napoleon and
many others died in middle life from
dread, disappointment or fear.
"Christian Science has a salutary
and redeeming feature that is by max
ing a patient forget he is sick, and
that disease and death don't exist No
fear Of trouble here and assured of
eternal bliss above. Therefore, no fear,
no nerve tension, they come self-re-
liant, and are considered good risks
by the insurance companies.
IF it is true that nature intended
every animal to live to an age
approXimating five times the number
of years, which it took to reach it's
bodily maturity, then man, reaching
his maximum strength and height at
twenty should be one hundred. But,
the fear of disease as started often
by patent adS-the use OF nostrums as
advocated by the church paper, are
sufficient to start many on the long
journey.
AS to the Quacks, we must have
some admiration for their gall and
gulling, for the reading public. pity
and prayer, but for the religious press.
