State Committee Must Have Money.

Hon. Chas. D. Morris, Chairman oi
the Republican State Committee, has
been compelled to borrow money with
which to meet the heavy expenses Sc

cratic opponents.

Missouri Democrats have been in
the habit, for many years, of talking
politics and arranging State campaign
the time. Missouri Republicans have
had the habit of neglecting State poll
tics till few months before the bi-
ennial campaigns open. It is hard tc
break this habit, though it weakens the
party and thrusts it into hasty battles
with the enemy. The State Committee
is now trying to arouse Republicans to
immediate and csnstant activity. Party
leaders in every county, township and
precinct are urged to promote political
activity and to keep In close touch
with voters.

$4,000 Fire At Ozark.

OZARK, Mo. March 27-Fire which
for time, threatened the destruction
of the entire city broke out in the gen.
eral merchandise store of ]. R Stewart
here last night and before it could be
brought under control caused a loss
estimated at $4,000. One-half the
business houses situated on the west
side of the public square went up in
flames. Little of the contents was
saved. The following are the losers;
Ozark Hardware company; ]. R.
Stewart, general merchandise; Mrs. ].

tian County bank.
The loss on the buildings is estimated
at SIS, 600 and on the goods and fix
lures at SIS, 900.
Flames were discoverd in the Stew
art general merchandise store at 1920
o'clock. The alarm was given but be-
fore the volunteer fire department could
get streams of water playing on the fire
it had geined considerably headway.

clear the deck' and repay what has
been advanced. II these contest cases
go to final decision in the Supreme
Court the total expense will probably
aggregate $10,0 900. Not one-third oi
that amount has been raised since the
contests were begun last November.
About two thirds of all that has been
raised was contributed by liberal Re-
pubicans in St. Louis, Kansas City and
st. Joseph. Outside of those very
little has been contributed.
Chairman Morris now feels that the
loyal Republicans of the state should
come to the relief of the State Com
nittee. Liberal contributions are
imperatively necessary to clear up the
expenses already incurred and to be
incurred, no matter how the contests
may terminate. After the ballot in
st. Louis and st. Louis county have
been recounted the Supreme Court
Commissioner will likely proceed, un-
der order of the court. to take ora
testimony.

The legislature made an appropri
alton of 500, 900 for the Game aud Fish
Departments in 1911 and 1912 but put
a rider on it specifying that it shall not
be available as long as Jesse A. Toler-
ton is retained as commissioner. It is
the opinion of MIR. Tolerton's friends,
including Governor Hadley, that this
rider is illegal and cannot prevent the
payment of the salaries and expenses
of the department out of the money
appropriated. Mr.. Tolerton will con-
tinue as Game and fish commissioner, as
long as Governor Hadley remains Chief
Executive, and his salary and expenses
will come out of the treasurery. The
blind Democratic partisans who sought
in such a cowardly and underhanded
manner, to suspend the operation OF
the game and fish laws and to drive
MIR. Tolerton from the public service
will suffer from public sentiment and
will have the opposition not only OF
sportsmen but of all fair minded citi-
zens.

| There is no other country in the

Had that been removed, Canada, Aus

would have supplied the United States
with farm products, or else labor would
have had to work for less than one-half
existing prices, and farmers would have
had to live from hand to mouth, as they
do in Free-Trade United Kingdom,
where millions of acres of farm land
have ceased to be cultivated because
it does not pay, although that country
has tc import the greater part of its
food products.
In Ireland, under Free-Trade, the
population of the country has decreased
one-half and those that remain depend
largely on the poor guardians, and their
relatives in the United States and else
where, to keep them from starving.
And yet how often has famine stalked
abroad in that land, which was pros
porous under protection.
The great wonder is, under these
circumstances, why the administration
should want, with the aid of the Demo
Gratis, to deal the Free-Trade blow to
the farmers of the United States. There
is a deficit of $6,O00,O00 so far this
year in the national income as COM
pared with the expenditures. The pro-
posed Canadian arrangement would de-
prive the treasury of several million

Proverbs xviii, d.
You always when skies blue
When trees green and all was bright,
The sunshine Knocked the smile of you
For it good sight.
You always when skies fair,
When blazed along the lane
And there gladness everywhere
You did not in days of rains
You always came when joy was here
When there happiness spare,
When there aught to fear
Nor any bitterness to bear;
You always when laughter leaped
And sorrow thrummed the door in vain,
When pleasure pleasure heaped-
You did not come in hours of pain.
You always came when song was free,
When music echoed from the walls;
Your voice blent with the melody
That rang triumphant through the halls;
You always when rapture thrilled
The air and in echoes rushed
You did not come when songs were stlled,
You did when all hushed.
And so / count you my friend,
For laughter sunshine and blthe song
Are baubles may give or lend
Nor to hold them overlong.
But these my mine own;
I hold them sacred in my
And would keep them mine alone

John Stuart Mill Was a Genius At
Three Years Of Age.
At three years of age John Stuart
Mill began the study OF Greek. with
"arithmetc as an evening relaxation"
At eight he began Latin, Euclid and
algebra and had to act as tutor to the
younger children. He was stern and
efficient tutor.
At twelve he began scholastic logic
and political economy-the latter his
main lifework.
At fourteen, while paying long Wis
It to Sir Samuel Bentham in southern
France, he learned French as relaxa-
ton from studying two or three hours
before breakfast. FIVE hours between
breakfast and dinner and two or three
in the evening. Being for the time
master Of his own hours and not sub
ject to a stern father, he took lessons
also in his spare hours in music. sing
ing, dancing, fencing and riding, but
never became proficient.
At sixteen Mill could speak in debate
with adults with ease and freedom.
At eighteen he contributed to the
Westminster Review. At twenty one
he was made assistant in the India
office and received a large salary for
those days.
But Mill was bald at twenty-five.
He did not marry until he was forty
five. He himself said: II never was
a boy. 1t is better to let nature have
its own way"

ARIZONA ROAD RUNNER.
A Sociabis Bird That Is Said to Hate
RattIasnake.

n1tti08OaNo.
The road runner is one Of Arizona's
distinctive archaeological institutions.
1t is long legged. long billed bird,
slender of build and standing some
ten inches high. 1t is not often seen
in the farming districts. but is ia
miliar sight on the desert.
1t has gained the name Of road run
ner from its habit Of taking the road
in front Of travellers be they on horse
back or wheeled conveyance, and run
ming swiftly or slowly, as occasion re-
quires, showing off its neighborly spir-
it and running qualities. 1t is not I'M
common for it to keep in company of
the traveller for several hundred yards.
No resident Of Arizona would kill a
road runner. 1t is firmly believed that
the bird is the deadly enemy Of that
monster Of the desert, the rattlesnake.
We don't know whether any Of our
readers ever saw a road runner kill a
rattlesnake. If there is an authentic
story Of such a thing we would be
glad to publish it. But the accepted
tradition is that the road runner and
the rattlesnake are deadly enemies
and that the rattlesnake fears the
road runner beyond anything else.
It is told that the bird drives the
snake into q coil and then. darting
around the serpent like lightning.
pecks it to death. Whatever truth
there may be in the stories of the
road runners accomplishments as a
disciple Of st. Patrick. it deserves the
friendly protection 1t receives. Its
quaint sociability is always a diver
sion for the lonesome desert traveller.
