TWENTY MlLLIONAIRES
Hold Most of the Wealth OF the CITY
of St. Louis.

Ironton, Mo, May 28.-Archbisnop
Ohm Glennon, Catholic, in address1ns
sac Mississippi Land and ImnIigrae4ori
Congress here today san.
We have in ST. Louis a group =.
.wenty nillionaires, who hold most "a
the wealth OF that city. We have also
7ooyG~0 working people, slaves, who ar>.
herded ii sqdalid unsanitary tenemer.A
They are able TO give those dependent
up,. mem a bare living, These civl.
,5nuuons have driven the poor of tn
cities to desperation The situation por--
tents a revolution, a bloody revolt
against such state of affairs. Steps
must be taken to anticipate such a cri-
sis"
The archbishop argued that both mil
lionaires and the working men should
be brought to the country, there to have
instilled into them a different view of
life, that the condition of each be bet
tered. The poor man can never hope to
nwn home in the city, he added but r
the country there awaits him not only
a home, but plenty to eat, fresh air and
opportunities for the full enjoyment
of life.
Governor Hadley, following the arch
bishop, SAID.
Just now the cost of living is agi-
tating the entire nation, The high cost
of living IS due to the lack of proper
ton between supply and demand. The
country has developed 50 rapidly that
thenumbers of producers has not kept
pace with the number Of consumers.
Today four fifths OF the American peo-
pie do not make in excess of $500
year, One-tenth do not get enough TO
eat He concluded by saying what
Missouri needed most is more intensive
farming and less intensive politics.

FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
A RADICAL STORM WAVE
May Be Expected About June Gen
eral Rains VIII Be Moderate up to
June IL, But Some Heavy Rains VIII
Cover a Few Small Localities.

, (Copyrighted 1910 by W. 7. Foster.)
Washington, D. c, May 2S-Last bull
letin gave forecasts OF disturbance to
cross the continent Is to June I, warm
wave p to 81, cool wave 81 to June 3.
This disturbance was not expected to
be of any very great Importance. Tenn
peratures about normal, not much rain
and no very severe storms.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about June I, cross northern sec
ton OF Pacific slope by close of ,, the
great central valleys 5 to ). eastern sec
tons 8. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about l., great central valleys 3,
eastern sections 5. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about !, great central val
eys 6, eastern sections 8.
This will be the radical storm of May
and will bring one of those weather pc
riodS that it usually pays to avoid by
remaining at home and doing some kind
of indoor work
l expect this storm wave to begin TO
manifest unusual energy on western part
OF continent not far from June 2. while
about the same time the preceding dis
turbance will begin to gather force in
the Atlantic States. They will becomeI
furious storms as they move eastward
from these positions,
Sometimes very dangerous storms oc-
cur in June, and if such are to occur
the coming month | would select this
period as the time Reasoning from the
theory that the sun, moon and planets
are great magnets, affecting each other
as shocking machine affects persons,
| conclude that, as the planets Mer-
curry, Venus, Saturn and the mon are
in relative positions UGH as to send an
electric shock to the earth, therefore | i
am announcing the coming of an UNI
usually severe spell of weather.
General rains will be moderate up to |
about June IL, but some very heavy |
rains will cover few small localities.
Most rain fall of June will be about
the great arkes on the south side, par
ticuarly on the south side of the lakes
Erie, Huron and Michigan, and in CEN
trail and northern sections of the State
of Michigan
Enormous acreages of corn and oats
have been planted and sown because of /
winter wheat abandoned If the num-
Der of acres put in of tlles two cereals
has any effect, the prices should go
much lower than at present, A little
later | will take up and discuss this
question of probable market prices of
the most important crops of the year.
By the time this letter is published all
crops will be growing, the farmers will
have arranged to market all the old
grain they intend to dispose of and crop
weather will become larger factor in
the control of prices. In that line
hope to make these bulletins more use
ful to producers than ever before till
hey shall have disposed of the present
growing crops.

OLD HOME DAY
Should Be Special Feature During the
State Fair-The Suggestion May Be
Approved.

New Orleans States: 1t is announced
that steps have been taken looking to
the celebration of Old Home Day at
Shreveport during the State Fair to be
held in that city next fall Such cele-
bration has become a fixed event in
many of the Older States of the coun-
try, full week being given over to the
ceremonies incident to the occasion in
some of these States. In connection
with the appropriation received from
the State the people of Shreveport have
established their annual Fair upon a
pretty solid basis, and each year it has
been appealing to wider and still
wider circle of people.
It will prove a drawing card to the
Fair should its directors set aside one
day during the Fair for the welcoming
and entertainment of former residents
of Shreveport In order to make the
occasion complete success an attractive
programme will have to be arranged,
unusually cheap rates ought to be given
by the railroads, striking invitations
should be sent out far and wide over
the country and every reasonable effort
should be made to attract Shreveport
wanderers back TO the old home, if only
for day
The scheme is in perfect harmony
with the theory of a fair ,,,t;ct, ~ -aart
the highest measure of success, should
place a very large degree of emphasis
upon the social aspect of the occasion.
1t is highly important that the Fair
should mark the progress of the people |
educationally, industrially. commercial
" and otherwise, but in order to reap
the best results from the exhibition of
that progress the greatest possible num-
Der Of people should be drawn together
to see it. In no way can that be done

THE WOMAN WHO WAITS

A writer very truthfully remarks
Sometimes it is an unfaithful husband
for whom the woman waits She knows
all about the other woman, and her
friends tell her that she should divorce
the bastard that has destroyed her; but
she loves him and refuses, She waits
waits through the long bleak years for
the time to come, when old and weary,
sick and worm he too has been forsaken
tor some one younger and handsomer,
and he viii turn again home.
Sometimes the woman who waits IS
4 mother who watches for the coming
back OF ! wayward son Hour after
hour she sits listening fer the shuttle

Of drunken step coming up the street,
aer soul torn with a thousand fears
and a thousand shames. and hands wait
ing to drag him across the Threshold
and hide him from the world.
Sometimes it IS prodigal daughter
who has run away from home for whom
the mother waits: Everybody else had
forgotten her. Everybody else con-
dennis her, but her mother keeps the
light burning in the window always, and
waits-and waitS-and waits for the
wanderer, while her own hair bleaches
with sorrow and her own eyes go blind
with Straining looking down the broad
road for the pitiful figure, broken and
bruised. that viii come stumbling home
at last to mother.
Oh, women who wait by sick beds
while the fight for life and death goes
on. Oh, the women who wait in the
bleak shadow of the walls of the peni-
tentiaries TO have given into their pat
lent arms the dishonored body from the
Scaffold or to take home some son or
husband of brother who is forever
branded iwth prison stripesi What ag-
ony is theirs! How long the hours in
which they only wait
God pity the woman who waits, and
God pity the man who on the Day of
Judgment shall have the tears that he
has made her shed rise up to accuse
him.

WHERE CHEWING GUM CONES
FROM.

Technical World Magazine: The
chewing gum tree grows in Mexico. But
the gum it yields has no havor-which
is one of the most particular reasons
why it is useful for the purpose.
The tree IS known in Mexico as the
'chicle7 tree. and the gum itself as
-chicle.' As for the gum. it is an exu-
dation from the bark The gum is ex-
traordinarily viscous and chevy "a
quality which renders ii highly suitable
for chewing gum. 1t is also one of the
most tasteless things imaginable. so that,
being absolutely natural in this respect,
1t is easily made to adopt any desired
flavor By the admixture Of the required
ingredients.

WON'T DO 1T
No Hope for the Vets While Noel Is
Governor


1t is stated from Jackson, Miss, that
the first suggestion that the Democracy
of Mississippi follow the example set by
the party in Alabama by repudiating the
statutory prohibition law and substitute
ing local option, comes from the Nat
chez Democrat, published in one of the
eight counties that were in the wet
column when the statutory law was en-
acted two years ago.
In a brief editorial the Democrat sug-
gests that Governor Noel call special
session of the Legislature to repeal the
Statewide prohibition law, exempt from
taxation all moneys loaned at per cent
or less, exempt chattel mortgages and
reduce privilege fax assessments.
There is not the slightest possibility
that Governor Noel would ever send
TO the Legislature recommendation for
the repeal of the statutory prohibition
law, regardless of how many important
subjects he might find to make a special
session necessary.
The Governor is an ardent, dyed-in-
the-wool prohibitionist, and is not only
satisfied, with the existing statutes, but
would ike TO see them made stronger,
if possible. In fact, he submitted a.
large number of suggestions for amend
ments to the prohibition law at the last
session, several of which were acted
upon favorabIy.

MAY RESUME RACING
Mayor Behrnan Is Said to Favor the
Proposition

A special telegram to the Arkansas
Gazette. bearing New Orleans date
line, says: 4 coterie of New Orleans
most influential as we'll as richest mer-
chants will swing their support to Gov
ernor Sanders in an effort to place him
in the United States Senate, provided
what is referred 10 as certain things
for the good OF New Orleans" be re-
stored by legislative action. Headed by
Albert Godchaux, millionaire merchant
and planter. and endorsed in open
speech by Mayor Behrman, plans are al
ready under way to purchase stock
holdings of foreign race track prop
critics. including Celia, Adler, Telles,
Respass and Others. The effort is to
revive racing in winter for the good of
New Orleans"
Mayor Behrnlan came out f1atfooted
for restoration of racing with certain
reforms. II is believed that a eo-day
meet with pari-mutuel betting is sure to
come as a result of the new deal, ma
jority conce1ing that Governor Sanders
to become United States SEN
ator is practically impossible without the
political support of the New Orleans
headed by Boss" Ewing

ENCOURAGING REPORT
Abundant Rain in DeSoto, and Crops
Are Growing Rapidly.

Mansfield Journal: just now the peo-
pie of DeSoto, without regard to age,
race or condition. are feeIinf hrst-ratc.
The rains have been abundant and the
crops are growing rapidly. Good stands
of both cotton and corn are the rule.
and most of the fields are free of grass
Prices are satisfactory and every source
of wealth production promises a large
yield. The commercial interests must
feel the effects of the promising condi-
tons. And, besides, there are some big
things almost ready for announcement
along the line of Improvement here in
Mansfield, The towns and villages in
the parish are on the upgrade and the
moral and educational interests are of

CONSEQUENCES OF THE COMM.

CONSEQUENCES OF THE COMMA
In his court King Charles was standing
on his head a golden crown
And his royal brow was wrinkled in a
most portentous. frown
Fifty courtiers- entered walking on their
hands were jewels bright
Set in rings of gold and silver what
a rare and splendid sight
Four and twenty noble ladies proud and
fair and ten feet long
Were their trains that flowed behind
them borne by pages stout and strong
In bower of fragrant roses the must
clans now compete
Blowing trumpets with their noses they
inhale the fragrance sweet
See the queen how sad and fearful as
the king cuts off her head
One bright tress of hair at parting and
she wishes she was dead

EXPLANATION Desired.

Mansfield Journal; Some Panama
Exposition enthusiast will confer a
favor upon the rural Louisiana taxpayer
by explaining how the holding of the
big fair at New Orleans can benefit the
country districts to the extent that a
State tax shall be levied OF course
New Orleans fay be benefited, but that
city is not Louisiana, except when a
State election is held or when the Leg
islature is in session. New Orleans is
the metropolis Of the Southwest, and as
such all Louisianians are proud of her,
but the expedition will be more of city
than a State affair The rural taxpayer
is from Missouri on this question.
