An all prevailing evil is the love of authority and the abuse of it. This is what is by some called the sin of domina nce-the wicked desire to have our personal wishes made the rule of life for those arourd us. In other words. the habit of eternally bossing, and declining to be bossed. Do you know some mothers go crazy because their daughters marry someone they were opposed to: and poor old Dad will blow his brains out once in a while because his chalkline was not consid- cred the line of department for every body in the family. In the mass we look all right; but when we go to ex- hibiting examples we see the human family has broad foolward side; and this is the side doubtless on which Satan keeps his cauldron of misery. We are all entitled to our rights and privileges. and We make a sorry job drawing the line. Where the fullest privileges to the other fellow are all lowed there is likely to be the most pleasure.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
Money and Nothing Else.

A showily- dressed individual with garments conforming to the latest Parisian decrees. with plenty of jew elry adorning fingers and shirt bosom, a general air of snug satisfaction with himself and the world, the habit of blowing in money recklessiy and perhaps even wickedly for convivial purposes, the possessor of two or three sumptuous houses and of handsome and costly equipages es-that is the man at whom the world looks today and says, He has money and Il. thing else. His money, by the way, he inherited. For he has done very little productive labor all his life. Indeed he did not inherit the brains which made the money generation or two hack.
 We would only need to have to vary the description in certain particulars to apply the same characterization to hosts of women in different parts oi the land today.
 These are the people hurrying through Europe these summer days in their big touring cars simply because it is the thing to do. with no eyes to behold and no mind to appreciate the glories of the old world-the snow capped mountains, the green fields, the lovely lanes, the shining and storied streams. Or else they are lolling away their time at fashionable summer resorts, caring chiefly for the hops and the other so- cial functions.
 Another type of persons who may be properly chara acterized as possessors of money and little else did not in- he~it wealth. It is to their credit that they had wit enough to make money not the highest order of human ability to be sure. but a very useful talent. So they have toiled and strained and eoonomiZed and cut corners and some times driven exceedingly hard bar gains. but all the time they have been going up the ladder of what the world calls success
 And yet, exalted as they are above their felloWmer1, we do not select them as examples for aspiring youths though they have made money. Some of them have lost their capacity to appreciate books. music. paintings and statuary. P"ssessors of competence. they are still restless and unhappy. They ensy

BATES COUNTY WOMAN
HELD IN FRANCE.
Wife of Emile Lefevere Detained ~
Citizen of France.

Wife of Emile Lefevere Detained a.
Citizen Of France.
Mrs. Emile Lefevere, the wife of
Emile Lefevere, who is employed at
the New Home mine, is being held in
France by the authorities as the wife
of French citizen, and until Mr..
Lefevere can take steps toward his
complete naturalization, she will
probably not be allowed to return to
this country.
Mr.. Lefevere, who is native of
France, filed his declaration papers
with j. P. Thurman, circuit clerk
eleven years ago, but since that time
has taken no further action in the
matter. Seven years is the maximum
time in which final naturalization
papers may be filed, and the limit
having been passed, Mr.. Lefevere is
in the eyes of the law, a subject of
France.
Some time ago Mrs. Lefevere re-
turned to France on visit and upon
her attempt to return to this country
she was informed that as the wife of
a French citizen, she would be COM
PEELED to remain in that country.
Mr.. Lefevere came to this city
Saturday and consulted with Circuit
Clerk H. O. Maxey, who advised him
that as the time had elapsed for the
filing of the final papers, which would
make him citizen of The United
States, he was powerless to act.
However, Mr.. Maxey has written the
authorities at Washington in. regard
to the matter.

Globe Democrat is Denounced by
Missouri Legislature.

Jefferson City. NO., March 90
Republicans and Democrats of the
Senate and House united today in de.
nouncing as false and malicious the
article in The Globe-Democrat this
morning under the caption Drunken
Democrats Turn the Assembly into a
Sunday Debauch. p"
Both branches passed resolutions
condemning the Republican organ in
strong terms. Every member, Re-
publican and Democrat, voted for the
resolution in the House and only two
Republicans opposed it in the Sem
ate.
They explained that they disap-
proved Of the head lines, but did not
believe the reporters should be CEN
sured.
The House voted to bar represent
atives of the paper from the floor
during the remainder of the session.
The Senate omitted this embargo
from its resolution.
Legislators, irrespective of politics,
were incensed when The Globe
Democrat arrived here this morning
proclaiming in big headlines that the
lawmakers had desecrated the Sab
bath by engaging in drunken revelry.
So worked up were some of the
members that friends advised the
representatives of the paper attacked
to remain away from the legislative
halls. They accepted the advice.
