Popular Songs.

The sales Of a really popular
song run up into the thousands and
the lucky authors revel temporarily
in the wealth it brings them. Jef-
ONE Fl. Remick & Co., have had
as many as six of these songs sell
ing at one time
This is a remarkable record, but
to have one writer furnish four Of
them seems almost a miracle Per-
cy WenriCh, one of our youngest
song writers, has again demonstrate
ed his ability to strike the popular
fancy by his latest, WE'VE KEPT
THE GOLDEN RULE"
Founded, as it is, upon the oldest
and greatest principle of moral
philosophy, the lyric goes as straight
to the hearts Of the music-loving
multitude as does the tunefuI
melody
A sentiment similar to that of
OLD GREY BONNET" pervades
this song, and the young and old
will benefit by its moral.
When songs like WE'VE KEPT
THE GOLDEN RULE" become
popular, the world is getting better

Good rock roads are the best and
cheapest roads that can be built
and in fact are the only roads that
the people can afford to build. For
years the people have been working
CD roads and the roads have been
getting no better fast. At certain
seasons Of the year there are long
strips of mud which by courtesy
are called roads but it is very eX-
pensive to try even to haul load
over them. Now, it should not be
so. This part of Missouri has been
been settled long enough to have
experimental enough to know that
the present system of road making
is a farce. We cannot afford to
longer continue as we have done in
the past We must get good solid
rock roads. The only way to get
them is to build them aud that
takes money. Yes, but the money
spent for that kind of roads is wise
ly invested and pays big dividends.
You say how are we to get the
money? That is easy. Say for
roads i'm Monroe County we borrow
S5OOOOO on twenty-year bonds
Practically all this money will be
spent for labor and material in the
county and think what it will do
for business. Then in paying it
back the cost will be but little more
each year than we are now paying
to maintain our roads % under
the present system. If you have
any better plan by all means let US
hear from you. We cannot afford
to continue longer with the system.
We are face to face with a PROPOSE
ton. Good roads will help all of
US and before the bonds are paid
off will have cost less that if we
continue our present system. With
the bonds we have the good roads.
Under the present system we will
not. Which shall it be?

When the Democratic party came
out for Guaranteed Bankers the banks
all over the country made a great
howl but never gave any good rea-
son why the banks should not make
the depOSitOr as safe as the banks
expect the borrower to make the
bank. Well the banks and other
influences succeeded in putting our
Republican friends into power and
now that party has gone one better
on the banks and proposes to get
the government strictly in the
banking business by the establish
ment of Postal Banks AS these
funds are deposited and cannot be
withdrawn for a period of time
something must be done with the
money. 1t will be withdrawn from
circulation all over the country as
fast as deposited and will CongeSt
at Washington until turned over
to the great banks in New York.
Postal banks are not good for a
community which has as safe and
solid banking institutions as we
have here, The bank guarantee
law as advocated by the Democrat
ic party would make money safe
in any bank and would doubtless
draw thousands, yea millions Of
dollars out of old sOX, cause it to
be placed in banks and thus put il
into circulation TO help business
The postal savings banks will moi
do this but on the other hand viii
with draw from circulation all ovel
the country thousands of dollar;
and cause it to COngeSt in New
York. The result Of this business
is the same as would be a conges
ton Of blood in the head or any
part Of the human body to health
The people have demanded tn
guarantee but our Republic al
friends have given them the wrOn
dose.

Trade Secrets in Bread-MakinG.

trace secrets in bredd-Makln8.
F. L. Burke of Kansas City is the
man who disparaged, at the meet
ing of the Missouri Master Bakers
Association, the bread mother used
to make and still makes. "Tisn't
nearly as good as bakers bread"
said this representative of an aftiu-
ent industry.
It's, too. Such assurance and
disregard of truth need rebuke. The
best evidence that bakers bread
isn't as good as honest homemade
bread is, first, a test of the two and,
second, the fact that the bakers all
the time keep trying to initiate the
appearance and quality of the
homemade article. Furthermore.
the closer bakers bread approx
mates the kind mother makes, the
more popular ii is, The values in
the bread mother makes can't be
capitalized but they're there.
The difference between the out
put of mothers bakery and the out
put of the standardized, CONNER
cialized bakeries run by corpora
tons or copartnerShips is just the
difference there is between poet
made poetry and machine-made
poetry. Bakers bread is good and
wholesome, but homemade bread
is still the standard of quality. And
it is likely to remain so, for moth
er's bread has ingredients the 9TH
ers can never have.
When the machinery of a steam
power bakery can mix a tender de-
votion with the yeast and can
knead the dough with unselfish
thoughts of dependent ones and can
watch the browning loaveS with a
clear vision that sees little white
teeth taking big bites out of slices
of them. one of the trade-secrets of
mothers bakery will have been
discovered.
But it is to be feared that dis
covery will be a long time in COM
ing. Republic.
