Leaves His Bride

Leaving a bride of week and driv.
ing off with an old sweetheart whom
he declared he was going to marry
next week, Homer Hooper's career as
heart breaker was suddenly brought
to an end when he woke up in Spring
field this morning. Hooper is unde,
arrest and his old sweetheart, Erma
Hunt, daughter of John Hunt, a
well-known farmer of the Mentor neigh
borhood. is being held. The two were
arrested by Detectives Waddle and
Fisher after they had been informed OF
the disappearance of the girl from the
home Of her parents.
Hooper left his wife at home yester-
day and last night he called at the
home of his old sweetheart, Erma
Hunt. The two drove off between E
and 7 o'clock last night and when it
grew late the girls parents became
worried. A telephone message to
Night sergent dad" Stevenson short
ly before midnight informed the police
of the disappearance of the girl, and
this morning John Hunt, the father,
came to Springfield.
The buggy and horse used by the
two young people were found at the
Russell wagon yard and then the Office

intelligent effort to protect the fools
against the consequences of their own
folly than there ever has been in the
past.
Wealth still haunts itself in the face
OF poverty and the trade mark of the
dollar is branded all over our boasted
civilization, but the public mind has
never been so powerfully directed to
the necessity for honest dealing and
civic righteousness as now.
More and more people are becom-
Ing aware of the great moral economic
truth that righteousness exalteth
nation and that willing or unwilling,
the children of men, poor and rich,
white. black, yellow and brown are
bound up together in common broth
erhood and that injustice TO the poor
and weak sooner or later reacts to the
destruction of the strong.
History is full of lessons showing
the truth of this but men have not
needed the lessons. Wealth was
never more dominant and arrogant
than during the days when the Roman
empire iourished. The rich, idle and
proaigate, enjoying every luxury that
the world could furnish, despised the
masses they plundered and scoffed at
the idea that the common peo-
pie had any rights the aristocrats were
bound to respect.
The degeneracy OF the rich spread
to the masses. Patriotism died and
Rome fell an easy victim to the in
vading barbarians. The rich, the
middle class and the poor all suffered
but in the days of final retribution the
arrogant rich suffered most
There is reason to feel pretty hope
full at the beginning of this year 1911.
Maybe the progress the world will
make this year toward better
things will not be great enough to ex-
cite much remark, but that there will
be some progress feel sure.

The Globe-Democrat' special cor
respondent at Jefferson City in writing
of the organization of the House, said
the steam roller went over Cyrus II.
Ray, an editor of Taney county who
was aspiring to be assistant secretary.
We believe Mr.. Ray should have been
credited to Stone county, as he has
not been engaged in newspaper work
in Taney county since the fire which
destroyed his plant last fall. He did
print paper at Reedsprings, in Stone
county, for awhile, and mail it from
Branson, in this county, but even that
has been discontinued for some time,
so we do not believe that he is Tan
ey county newspaper man.

through without a crack.
The caucus was opened by John O.
Holmes, who was made temporary
speaker of the House when the Legis.
lature convened. And, true to party
traditions, the meeting opened with
liberal waiting of atmosphere.
AS soon as Speaker Holmes announ-
ced he was ready to consider the usual
order of business, four bewhiskered
Democrats bobbed up simultaneously
and began to expatiate on their allegi-
ance to the Democratic party and to
the fertility of the soil in those sections
of the state from which they hailed.
c. P. Hawkins, who was mentioned
for caucus chairman, consumed fifteen
minutes in announcing he did not care
to hold down the job, and nominated
H. ]. Simmons for the place. Sim
mons went over the plate while the
statesmen applauded. Claude Gossett
was chosen secretary, and then Chair
man Simmons announced that nomina-
tions for speaker of the house were in
order. John T. Barker was the only
name mentioned, and he was chosen
by acclamation. N. R. Holcomb of
Jackson County was chosen speaker
pro tenn, and then the fight of the
evening came.
Frank Harris of Boone, who nomin-
ated ]. Kelly Pool, dwelt on his hon
esty. Wiley Huston of Lincoln nomi-
mated Frank L. Dawson for chief clerk.
He said Dawson was honest, too, and
was a Democrat and fighting Demo
crat at that. Then Col. Phelps pre-
sented McCawley's name. The col
onel said he had been in Jefferson City

The Republicans of both houses

CONCERNING CHAMP CLARK.

A few weeks ago some editorial
mention of the probable speaker of the
next house of congress, Champ Clark,
of Missouri, was made in this paper
At that time Champ had not made
any public declaration concerning his
policy on the appointment of commit
tees.
The celebrated correspondent of
the Saturday evening Post. Sam Blythe,
who seems to be not only remarkably
well informed on all the public men
who are in either house of congress
but who treats them all with apparent
impartiality, had written a character
sketch of Champ in which it was stated
that while the celebrated Missourian
had been vociferous in demanding
that the power of appointment of com
mittees be taken away from the speak
er while he, Champ, was still in the
minority, now that the prospects for
his election was bright. he was saying
nothing about curtailing the power of
the speaker and that at heart he wanted
all the power as speaker he could get.
Since that time Champ has come
out in an interview stating that he is
in favor of allowing the house to select
its committees.
Following the first mentioned edit
orial I received a couple Of letters
from Democratic subscribers saying
that had done Champ an injustice.
Well, possibly / did, although the
marked and long continued silence of
the Missouri congressman certainly
gave color to the sta:ement made
about him by Blythe.
1t would have seemed that if he
was in real dead earnest about trim
ming the speaker of his power in case
he became speaker himself he would
have so declared right at the begin
ming. However, since he has de-
clared himself it is only fair TO assume
he means what he says.
Now can understand why Champ
or any other man likely to be selected
as speaker of the house would be re-
luctant to give up the powers and pre-
rogative that have so long belonged to
that position. Without the power to
either appoint or dictate the member

To Develop the Bust

To the Beauty Editor; Can you tell me Of
any harmless way TO increase the bust? l do
not want any more flesh on the hips or other
parts Of my body, but 1 am so nat-chested l
would try anything you thought would give mo
even two or three inches more Development
ETHEL W.
Tho only thing l know of that will develop
the bust without increasing the size of the hips,
or without putting on flesh where not needed,
is q prescription put up by The DR.. Kelly Co,
especially for small and undeyeloped breasts.
II is the discovery Of a woman physician whose
practice was largely among her own eek and in
most cases increases the bust measure four to
six inches in a month. Send 10c TO the DR..
Kelly Co., Dept. 400 A F, Buffalo, n. Y, and
they will send you a trial package Of the treat
ment without charge. This Is said to be OF
great value in cases OF arrested development OF
the bust and will give q full. beautiful form
without anyone knowing that. this treatment
was used.
Many mothers have told mo that after the
baby had been weaned the breasts became
fabby and shrunken, but the use OF DR.. Kelly's
prescription made them full and firm. Do not
use pads or bust forms. as they never look
natural and have a bad effect upon the general
health. Neither would recommend ordinary
flesh builder or tonics. as they increase the
hips and imbs and with the present styles the
form should be slender everywhere Gyeep. Q
