THE key to the situation lies in
the problem of how to take care of

formerly employed was for the first
fifty hours two tons too heavy, but
when the sun collies out and expands

Government Claims st. Louisian
Used Mails to Defraud--Others
Are Indicted.

New York, Nov. 4.-Harry M. Coud-
rey, Democratic congressman from
the Twelfth district of Missouri un-
til the last term, was arrested in this
city today by agents Of the Depart
men of Justice on an indictment re-
turned against him and eight other
officials of the Continental Life IN
surance Company and the Interna-
tional Fire Insurance Company by
the st. Louis Federal Grand Jury last
Saturday, charging him With using
the mails to defraud.. Coudrey made
no protest and said he vas willing to
go back to St. Louis at once. He left
shortly after his arrest in charge OF
Agent Pigniuele, who made the ar
rest.
Coudrey until three weeks ago was
tie president OF the Continental Lifes
and the International Fire Insurance
Company of St. Louis. An investiga-
ton was then started by the govern
ment which resulted in the indict-
fsent of Coudrey and eight other of
ficials of the two companies and
plunged both into the hands of re-
c~eivers.
Godfrey has been missing since the
Indictment and agents of the depart
ment have been searching the coun-
try for him. He had been in New
York almost since the investigation
started and was stopping at the Pier
pont Hotel on West Thirty-third
street.
Harry M. Coudrey is one of the
best known men in st. Louis, is a
member of a dozen clubs and is gen.
elally regarded as a, millionaire. He
was elected to congress in 1905, but
was not seated until the close of the
first session because of an entangle-
ment in the counting of votes. He
was elected again in 1907 and again
III 1909, finishing his term last March.
He was the author of the bill regulat-
ing the size of women's hat pins in
the District of Columbia and also in
tfoduced a bill which called for. a fine
OF $50 for the owners of public clocks
which did not keep correct time.
Among other things that are charg-
ed against COudrey, according to the
Department Of Justice. is that while
a member of Congress he promoted
various business schemes, using the
letter pad of the House of Represen-
tatives and other stationery of the
government. 1t is claimed by the
Department of Justice that he used
the Congressional Office Building as
an office to carry on the business in
which he was interested.
When the investigation began in
st. Louis into Coudrey's connection
with the Continental Life Insurance
Company and the International Fire
Insurance Company it is said by the
Department of Justice that he was
promoting a concern known as the
Lincoln National Holding Company.

mist Re Trna Blue.

While some people n trying tc
read Mr.. Bryan out of the Democratic
party, it becomes apparent
every day that the campaign of 1912
will be a plain, unmistakable, clear
cut discussion, and decision between
two lines of national policy, mvoly-
ing radical differences upon funda-
mental points not alone Of national
legislation, but of the altitude and
temperament of the federal executive
and. federal Judiciary as we'll.
The national conscience. not less
than national intelligence, demand
a thorough change. a reversal as well
as a revision of the national policy
in many important particulars, says
the Denver News. The Democratic
candidate fer president next year
must be distinctiyely democratic. He
must be not merely non-republican,
but he must be positively anti-repub-
lican. He must stand for the things
that Taft does not stand for.
He must represent Individually and
personally, without chance of ques-
ton or doubt, all the principles and
policies of progressive democracy, as
taught by Mr.. Bryan. The success of
1912, now seemingly assured. can only
be consumed along the lines CT pro-
gressive democracy, which is true

Ten-Cent Sngar2

Sugar has fallen in with the high
cost of living procession and threat
ems to outdistance it's rivals in tho
struggle for the peak. Already it has
touched Tbs cents at wholesale, the
highest point for II years, durlne
most of which er:ed the best gram
lated has been selling for less tan
6 cents a pound. Upon the ground
that there is a shortage in the raw
material, due to a diminished supply
of beet sugar, the men who dictate
quotations are evidently determined
to continue the advance. It is the
opinion among retail grc.cers that. 10
cents a pound will soon be the charge
to the consumer. Retailers by the
way, have no difficulty in getting all
the sugar they want, and they can
not bring themselves to believe the
reports of a serious scarcity.-Char-

that so encourages both the teacher

much as the knowledge that people

the fullest effort, and the child will
sbcw its appreciation by a deeper In
