Saloons Need Recruits.

Unless the saloons can recruit

them must soon close. One family in

Dangerous Companion.

1ntemperance is a dangerous com.
panion. 1t throws people off their
guard, betrays them to a great many
indecencies, to ruinous passions, to
disadvantages in fortune; makes
them discover secrets, drive foolish
bargains, engage in gambling, and
often stagger from the tavern to the

Hon. Champ Clark, speaker of the
national house of representatives, who
comes to the tri-cities Monday to de-
liver the annual Labor day address
at Suburban island, and who will Incl
dentally be accorded a reception at
the Hotel Davenport in the evening,
has been so long identified with the
state of Missouri that many think him
a son of that commonwealth. AS
matter of fact, he is son of Mother
Missouri only through adoption, the
place of his nativity being famous An
derSon county, in famous old Ken
lucky. There he Was born March z,
1850. the son of John Hampton and
Aletha Jane (Beauchamp) Clark. AS

versity, Bethany college and the Gin
cinnau law school. December 4, 1881,
he married Miss Genevieve Bennett of
AUX Vase, Galloway county, Missouri.
Mr.. Clark was president of Marshall

The House of Governors.

The gathering in New Jersey in
October of the governors of the sew
eral states. 81 signifying their intention
10 be present, raises the question,
Shall we have house OF governors? ?"
Of course, such body would not have
any power to initiate. but could dis
cuss the great problems that the states
have left unsolved and such sugges-
lions toward their solution would nee
essarily have great weight.
The states have been remiss in set
ting matters of great moment and
have left them 10 the general govern
snent, with the result that we have too
much Capitalization Of power, and the
Istates, as q consequence, have lost
much power and influence. There is
also too much absence OF uniformity

renarry in New York, but nothing
stands in the way Of his marriage in
most of the states.
The diversity in pure food laws, con-
troll Of corporations, the rights Of
property, regulation OF the white slave
traffic, insurance laws and other stat
utes in the states, simply create not
only lack of uniformity, but conglom-
Grafton and a labyrinth of doubt.
What is a crime in one state is a
legal act In another.
It is to destroy this conglomera-
ton and inharmony that called the
conference Of governors into being.
states to their rights and to formulate
and advise the adoption Of laws that
will not only make these rights clear,
but to effectually check dangerous
Capitalization of authority.
The general government has no de-
sire TO usurp the rights of the states
but has been compelled to take the
lead in constructive legislation because
the states have failed to consider the
need OF uniformity. The states are
seeking to solve pressing problems,
but unfortunately each aims at indi-
vidual correction, to the end that there
is no safe general guide.
The influence therefore Of the houss
of governors, though self-constituted
and without direct power, can not fail
to result in great good. The execu-
tives will constitute a forum which
will aim to keep the balance between
the individual states and the parent
government. They will meet annually
and the outcome Of their deliberations
can not fail to result in nationwide
benefit

labor Victorious A Poem for Labor Day
BY JAMES A. EDGERToN-

N all the chapters of Freedoms story,
Splashed Ger with glory,
Since Time began;
In all the chronicles made enhancing
Through men advancing
The cause of Man,
In all the struggles that made Truth clearer
And brought earth nearer
To brotherhood
We find the friends of the right side hated,
illuminated,
Misunderstood.
IF Cooled prophets, if saints and sages,
Were paid their wages
BY fire and sword;
If priests of progress were baked and baffed,
With stake or scaffoId
Their last reward,
Should those of the present find food for
wonder
If they be under
The sefSame curse,
There placed by lip servers of form and letter,
Who make the better
Appear the worse7
"a
neighbor,
That call on Labor,
To work her shame,
She has no shield for the baseborn actions
Of hate-ied factions
That use her name.
Her cause is still for the poor and ioWly,
And high and holy
Its beaconS shine,
Belonging to all men, all chimes and races,
The sweat of whose faces
ProcIaims her sign.
7 KNOW not what scheme of Greed to crush
3 her
Has sought to enmesh her
In seeming wrong.
only know that no cause is whittier,
No hope shines brighter,
Mans path along.
know that fraud can never take from US
Her worldwide promise
Of final peace
And that by the spirit of high endeavor
Her truths forever
Shall find increase.
TWYHATEvER mistakes may have put
" upon her
Whatever conspiracies may enfold her,
~ We still behold her
As fair and true.
From those who in shortneSs of sight defame
her,
-, The blind, who claim her,
To lead the blind,
Herself she will purge in the fire of duty
And shine In beauty
To all mankind.
GHE follows the CLEAN, with face turned
daWnWard,
To lead men onward,
With thought to bless.
Her cause is that of the Wage-bound toier
Against the spoiler
Of SelfishneSs;
Her goal, to lift the lowest thing human
And to iunaine r4,~'
The darkest brain
And oNt of the surplus of mems endeavor
To build forever
The common gain.
TNHoUeH her soldiers are battered and

- Yet others are risen
To lead her fight,

And all feel the passion
Of Civic Right;

WHAT! TEACHER IN TIGHTS?
Three Years After a FlsshIight Okla
homa's Board Objects.

Oklahoma City, Okla, July 27.-At
the close of a masquerade in Alva
three years ago a flashlight picture
was made of thirteen young women,
in costumes, who We're members of
the faculty Of the Northwestern State
Normal at Alva. Recently one of
those pictures found its way into the
hands of the state board of education.
Thereafter certain members Of the
board opposed the application OF
some of those Young women for re-
election to positions in the school.
This opposition has resulted in an
inquiry OF the state board Of educa-
,tion. Recently several charges have
been filed with the governor relating
that the board has been guided by
partisanship in refusing to re-elect
teachers The charges invloye the
candidacv of a young woman whom
the board failed 10 reelect. This
Young woman was supposed by a men,
Der Of the board, into whose hands
the picture fell. to be a character in
the picture She has proved that he
was in error. but the fight Is not end
ed.
The picture was taken in the dor
mitorv Of one OF the college buildings
at midnight, after the masquerade.
One character, particularly objection
able TO critical members Of the board
was that OF a cannibal. a young wo-
man was dressed fuZzily in tissue pa
per with tights between the fuzzes
and with an unusually spectacular
waist and collar.
Another represented an outlaw. She
was dressed in blouse pantaloons,
gathered. clownlike, at the bottom, a
heavy tight fitting sweater, and large
dirty boots. Attached to her upper
lin was a long, curled, black mustache
paint was on her cheeks, broad
brimmed sombrero set off her tousied
head, and a large revolver hung from
her belt. Another young woman rep
resented bear, in heavy fur robes
These three in particular were oh
jected to by the board. And the three
young women have been refused
places in the school again. But they
assert there was nothing improper
in the picture and that the board is
playing politics.
