TO name that gracious son Of the

justice of the United States supreme

field of commerce and industry.
Il speak 10 you for Missouri, than
whom none other Of all the states
bears prouder title. Her history ever
since the Louisiana purchase has been
an uninterrupted procession OF civic
triumphs. There Is not a page in our
