Unless Rules of The School Board
Are Changed Before June
Commencement.

Unless the school board changes
the rule the sweet girl graduate OF
the 1910 class of the High school
will not receive any flowers on the
stage this year. For two years the
rule has been in effect, and 1t has
worked with such satisfaction that
there is little possibility of II being
changed. The graduates will be per-
mitted to carry a bouquet, but the
rule prohibits the distributing of
flowers on the stage to the graduates
Samples OF invitations are being sub
mitted by local firms now, and prob
ably in the next two weeks the invi-
tations will be ordered. The honor
pupils of the June division OF the
class will not be announced until the

Another query, concerning the
identity of Thompson, was received
today by Chief of Police Singery from
L.Renkert, OF los South Seventh
street, st. Louis. NO. He said he
heard from his son last in Oklahoma
and asked for a description OF the
boy.

MR.. CONSUMER. AGAIN.

Bob Evans warned us against per-
mttting railroads to control Panama
shipments by possessing the docks
of our ocean ports, and pointed to
the fact that nearly the whole Pa
cifc coast has thus been seized by
trans-continental lines. On the Great
Lakes we observe that the cost of
shipping wheat from Duluth to Buff
falo Is moderate. while the cost of
shipping wheat flour is extortionate
The reason is that wheat elevators
are compelled to take wheat from
any boat that hauls II. and tramp
steamers control the price of wheat
shipments; but the big railroads
own the wharves and tramp steam
ers are charged excessively for
wharf privileges; so the railroad
boats have a monopoly on the wheat
shipments, for which the consumer
suffers.

swept everything west and north OF
the Ohio river. He could today lead
the whole west out of the Repuoli-
can ranks, and the boldness OF the
insurgent senators and representa-
tives indicate that their constituents
hold the policies and principles OF
Roosevelt more precious than 10y
atty to ancestral party.
The fact that this is so, and that
Roosevelt returning will continue to
be a vital force in the party, VIII
restrain the reactionary element In
the national organization, lest hapiy
Roosevelt and those western insur-
gents might withdraw altogether
and leave the organization to the
mercy of the Democrats. with the
reactionaries restrained from exer-
cising their power, which Is greater
right now than IL ever will be again,
the insurgent element will continue
to gather strength, and before Presi-
dent Taft's term is out, we antici-
nate the absolute control of the Re-
publican organization by the pro-
gressives, who will be in hearty
sympathy with President Tafts own
policies. 1t is a gigantic
struggle now going on within the
Republican party to throw of the
incubus. and rid itself and the ma
tion of an element and influence,
which has dominated affairs in both
parties for decades. The struggle
is most violent and conspicuous in
the Republican party, because Il is
the majority party and so far as
active administration goes, the gov
ernment. What goes on In Demo-
cratic ranks among the Roger Sulli-
vans, the "Hink Dink" Kennas, the
"Fingy" Conners, Tammany hall
and the Louisville ring, is more
easily concealed.
AS Roosevelt's administration was
for pointing out the
enemies of the republic. the admin
Istration of President Taft will be
for clearing the decks of
he majority party for action.

CLEARING THE DECKS.

The rise of a new political party
out of the west to defeat the ma
tional Republicans is remote, as
Henry Watterson says, and, more
over, IL lacks a leader. There are
men OF intellect and strong person
alities in the coterie of insurgents
from the western plains; but it re-
quires more than that. Only a man
OF genius can command following
of sufficient dimensions to be con-
sidered seriously in national politics.
IL took a Lincoln to organize the
Republican party and Jefferson to
organize Democracy. The Demo
cratic party for twelve years has
been practically the personal follow
ing OF Mr.. Bryan, and the Republi-
can party Tor FIVE years has been the
party of Roosevelt absolutely. IL
was his personal endorsement that
won the nomination and election OF
President Taft. Roosevelt could
,ave led away from the Republican
rty a following that would have

Wages Advanced $500, ooo,o 600.

Hardly a day passes that we do not
note the increase of wages granted By
some railroad or some industrial enter
prise, and it is estimated that the adj
vance in wages which will he granted
this year will equal the stupendous
sum of $500 900, 600. While this spIen-
did result has come TO the wa ge- earn
ers and it is a. fair assumption that it
must have come first to the employing
classes, 1T has also come in equal meas
ure to our farmers One of the reasons
for the decrease in exports of food
stuffs is because the farmers can mar
ket aim ost their entire output at home
and at the highest prices ever received
by them. If we do not anticipate and
prepare, if we open the custom gates
too far then we shall invite and have
an avalanche of foreign goods that will
close our mills and drive our laborers to
idleness. Then will wages and prices
fall, and, compared with the consequent
calamity and disa ster that will follow,
the depression of 1885 will be as a
summer shower compared with an eqi-
noctial storm--Vice President Sherman
