THREE AFFINITIES
Peggy" Tom and an Un-
known Accused by Mrs.
Edith P. King

OAKLAND. June S.-Three affinities,
one called Peggy, one known as Tom
and the other anonymous, have figured
in the life of William C. King of the
United States engineering corps, at

wife says. and cheerfully said of her,
loud enough to be heard by the actress:
Il know that SMILE
The actress affinity took the cue Mrs
King says, and came right back with
the remark:
Yes, they call it the smile that won't

This was the beginning of the ro-
mantle episode that followed, and It
was the Introduction of her husband to

a kiss that she had given him as the
one he would remember always as 9Th e

Mrs. King says, that she would have

telegram if he had been there when it
was received.

only ground for divorce offered by Mrs.
King. She accuses her husband of in

ways. Frequently, she declares. he used
to call her viper and a vicious woman.

were only waiting for him to die, so

HADLEY's TEMERITY

Gov. Hadley must have thought
when addressing the delegates to the
Charity Convention that he was
either talking to a lot of chumps, or
that his few feeble remarks would
not be printed. In both impressions
he was mistaken. When he in
formed the visitors that since he be-
came Governor, he has modified
the partisan management of the
State institutions, ii created APP
plause amongst those who didn' t
know him, and smiles from all who
did. And then, too, to make the
farce even more comical, he stated
that when he was Attorney General
there was but one bath tub at the
Missouri penitentiary." The farce
now develops into tragedy. II there
was but one bath tub at the prison,
when Hadley was Attorney General,
Hadley as member of the Board Of
Prison Inspectors at that time ought
to have shown his interest in the
unfortunate convicts and fought for
more bath tubs. The records don't
show that he did or that the idea
ever occurred to him. Now the Gov
ernor says there are abundant bath
tubs at the prison and endeayors 10
create the impression that he is re-
sponsihle for them. 1t happens that
the Governor Is not now member
of the Prison Board and has no
more to do with the PRISONS man
agement than he has to do with the
management Of the Illinois or Texas
Sprisons. Our prison is managed by
n board of Democrats and the bath
tubs and every other reform at the
Missouri prison during this admin
istration is their work, and they
alone are entitled to the credit there
for. Publicity Dept. State Demo

The Dingley and Payne tariff
bills have forced another sort of ex-
portation which grieves every lover
Of our country, and that is the ex-
portation of good American citizens
to the British Northwest. Last
year $1,000 Americans, chiefly from
the MISSISSIPPI! valley, oXpatriated
themselves, largely because they
could purchase all products, includ-
ing American farm implements and
other articles manufactured in
America, more cheaply in the Brit
ish possessions than they can pur-
chase them at home. These emf
grants from the United States are
among our best citizens and this de-

to the republic, for they are going
