There is sowing time and a
time to reap. The wise man said:
Bring a child up in the way he
should 90, and when he is old he
will not depart from it" So it is
with the boys of today who are al
lowed to run the streets till nine or
ten o'clock at night. This does not
mean our town alone, as most all
towns are similarly affiicted-for
an afflicted it surely proves to be to
many families IN the after life OF
the boys. Parents, see after your
boys, and the company they keep

Work on the Interurban has pro-
crossed slowly during the past week
on account of the heavy rains.
Had dry weather continued Capt
Latimer expected to have a total
of four miles of grading completed
between here and Philadelphia by
today. There are now seven grad

is being made to get them in St.

matters in connection with the

Hubby was Man of Wisdom.

Sending him on a shopping eX-
petition particularly when the pur-
chases are to be articles of wearing
apparel for herself, is about as
crucial a test as any woman can
apply to her hubby And the poor
man generally realizes that he is
up against it and goes at the task
with the spirit of a martyr. The
Philadelphia Telegraph cites a typi-
cal instance: Speaking of the fads
and fOibleS of the SweetSome sex
the other day, Judge John G. Har-
ner of Mount Holly related a little
incident which shows that at least
one poor old married man is wise
to the way of wiley. Some time
ago, the judge said, a friend of his
who lives in a suburban town was
asked by his wife to get her a ready

this city, and instead of raising a
majestic yelp, kicking the kioodle
through the door of the crystal
closet and knocking down the stove
pipe, he meekly replied that he
would be happy to oblige. The
noon hour found him in a depart
ment store. and after locating the
counter where female tOggery is sold
and waiting his turn at bat he
gently remarked to the Saleslady
that he would like to have a shirt

A few facts with regard to the
financial condition of the railroads
as well as their business operations
for the year 1910 may be just now
of special interest to our readers.
We say of special" interest, be-
cause there is a tremendous effort
being made the railroads to in
crease their rates on freight not
merely in the vest but in all parts
of the United States, on the ground
that the business does not bring
the profit that the railroads are EN-
titled to receive. The facts we
give are taken from Poor's Manual
of Railroads for 1910, This is a
standard and undisputed authority
on all questions referring to rail
road equalization and earnings.
The capital stock of all the rail
roads in the United States at the
end of the year 1909 was $780,
6S0,963, an increase of 500 per
cent of the capital stock of the
year preceding. The combined
debt at the end of the year 1909
was $9,118103,S13, an increase in
this item in the twelve months pre-
ceding of 3.75 per cent. The profit
and loss surplus was $919,623,168.
There was an increase of 49,
1902 in the number of paSsen-
gers. The gross earnings for 1909
we're $2,513212,773, an increase of
AL per cent as compared with the
year previous. The net earnings
we're $652.153,280. an increase of
1873 per cent over the previous
year. The mileage was increased
i,310 miles. The ton revenue per
nile was O757 cents, as against
O767 cents in 1909. The revenue
Der mile per passenger was 1884
;ents, as against 1864 the year
1t would appear from this that
he railroads are not doing badly.
n fact their prosperity appears to
)e quite equal to that of other
ines of business. 1t will be noticed
hat there has been an, increase in
gross earnings, but a very much
arger increase in net earnings; and
t is the latter that counts.
Now that this question is up be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
we hope it will not be set
tied until it has been probed to the
very bottom. The people of the
United States do not want to do
any injustice to the railroads; but
they have a right to know the bot
tom facts in connection with rail-
road transportation. in order that
they may be able to do justice. -

: part of the Democrats might be
, wise right at this time. I'm fact il
, never hurts much to think a little
most any time and on most any
public question that may come up
. The trouble is the people are inclin.
ed to do too many things without
over-taXing their think machinery.
Those who read the St. Louis Re-
public and are interested in and en-
deavoring to keep step in the Demo-
cratic senatorial campaign in Mis-
souri, read from day to day that
Reed Attacks Taft's Cabinet" or
Reed Flags the Supreme Court" or
that Reed in some way attacks
some department of our govern.
ment or some special interest. We
want to say, right now, that James
A. Reed, of Kansas City, is no milk
fed Democrat. He's no Republican
dressed up in tight fitting Democra-
tic clothing so that the first time
he eXeYts himself little something
will bust and reveal his Republi-
Canism. If a harpoon was run
elean through Jim Reed, both ways,
it would never touch anything that
was the least bit tainted with Re-
pDblicaniSm. Yes, and above all
remainth the fact that Jim Reed
has never bowed down upon his
knes to drink; but like the faithful
three hundred that went up with
Gideon against the Midianites, Jim
Reed. has always Tapped the pure
water of Democracy and never
wasted any time in disputing over
planks, in the platform or other
trivial matters. He has kept the
Democratic lamp burning in the
pitcher. all the time. And at the
beginning, of each campaign, when
the Democratic hosts arrived at
the outside of the Republican camp
Jim Reed was one of the boys who
blew the trumpet, and broke the
pitcher. and held the lamp of Demo-
cracy high in the air, and shouted
at the top of his voice the sword of
Thomas Jefferson and of Democracy
For our part we want brave Solb-
Ter in the Senate One not afraid
to ATTACK" the Republican INDIAN
ties any time and any place. We
would like to see Missouri represent
ed in the Senate again by a Jim
Green, a Thomas Benton, George
Vest, by a man who has the old !
time Andrew Jackson spirit in him
The Democrats already have too
many soft shehed Representatives
in Congress who hobnob with the
Republicans, who are all the time
down on their knees drinking and
never up fighting for Democracy
When Old Gideon started down
against the enemy the Lord didn't
say hunt up a few business men"
or start out with a committee of
our class" no indeed. He sent
three hundred true and tried fight
ere. That's what the people want.

The bravest of battles that ever was
fought,
Shall | tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you'll
find it not;
Twas fought by the mothers of
men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or
thought
From mouth of wonderful men,
But deep in a walled.up woman's
heart
Of a woman that would not yield
But bravely, silently bore her
part
Lo! there is the battlefield.
No marshalinG troop, no bivouac

No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But 0, these battles; they last so
long
From babyhood to the grave!
