The showing Of Morgan horses Is not up
to that of other years but the strings of

MissOuri's State Song.

Missouri, grand old commonwealth,
in buttermilk | drink your health!
Your prairies from a verdant park,
your Bowling Green produced Champ
Clark, your pleasant hills are crown
ed with schools, you beat the world
on raising mules. T'would7 take a
year to write a list of all your glow
ing charms, Twist, but when your
bards take down their Tyres, and
stirred by patriotic fires, attempt to
sing Missiouri's praise, the hearers
scatter, forty ways. Missouri's song!
And not line about her elderberry
wine, her pawpaw groves and placid
streams, wherein the catfish turks
and dreams; and not word about the
corn that rustles in the summer morn;
and nothing of the wheat and oats,
the hogs, the chickens and the goats,
which help to swell Missouri's fame
and hang large tassels on her name!
Missouri's song, and naught set down
about the city and the town which
rose triumphant in day on plains
where bison used to stray. And
nothing of the pioneers who labored
through the bitter years, who DER
the lonely reaches trod, and builded
homes and broke the sod. Your song
should be a rugged strain with a victo-
rious refrain, with minor chords that
tell of tears, and hardships, toll, and
doubts and fears, and pulsing through
it there should be a fine heroic melo-
dy to tell of men who laughed at
scars and fixed their eyes upon the
stars. Your anthem is too dull and
gray. Missouri, take your song
away!-Walt Mason.

Bates County's big annual fair will
be held in this city Sept. 10 to % in
elusive as previously announced in
these columns, in spite of the drouth
of the past few weeks. A number Of
counties in the state have announced
their intentions of not holding fairs
this year because Of the drouth, fear
ing that the exhibits would not be up
to the standard. However, good
rains in the county during the past
two weeks have placed an encourag-
ing aspect on Bates county's crops,
and 1t q meeting of the directors Of
the Fair Association, held here Sat-
urday, it was decided to hold the fair
this year on the dates above named.

Republican Candidates for Gov
ernOr.

It is announced in the Globe-Demo-
crat that AL. Speer Of Usage County
will become candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor,
IF there is sufficient demand for
him." The demand in such cases is
recorded by a barometer in the office
of Governor Hadley. But John Me-
Kinley of Putnam County is going to
run for Governor, without regard to
the laws of supply and demand and
without reference to barometric pres
sure. John Swanger, also, has been
struggling with the importunites Of
his constituents, and is only awaiting
the Jovian nod of his chief.
The German Republicans have
favorite in Lieutenant Governor
Gmelich. But they are not consid-
cred. Their business, in the view of
the Republican bosses, is simply to
elect the Republican ticket. The pol
iticians whose word is law in the
realm of Missouri Republicanism are
quite willing that the Germans shall
elect their ticket, but an ambitious
German Republican must. content
himself with minor elective office
or with an occasional crumb from the
Governors table. The Executive
Council at jefferson City will never
agree upon Gmelich or any of his
race. ~
just now, it is said, the Hadley ,
choice is Kennish. Should the DEM
ocratic election contests succeed,
Judge Kennish will run as martyr"
candidate. If they do not succeed he
will be pushed forward anyway, and
his martyrdom will be deferred until
the general election in 1912.
But the crank of the country
post office will not be placed upon
any favorite Of Governor Hadley.
The Postmasters are for Mckinley be-
cause Hadley is said to be against
him, and because his name suggests
that of the "martyred President" al
though he does not look the part. If
Hadley is to defeat Mckinley for that
nomination, he will have to find
man who looks like aft.-Republic.

cipal owners of the building is a
daughter-in-law of Senator Hale, and
that Senator Hale had inserted in the
Senate appropriation bill an item
which compelled the government to
lease the building. Senator Hale al
so caused millions of dollars of pub
lie moneys to be expended on a naval
shore station off the coast of Maine,
the bulk of which expenditure was
sheer watse. The principal mission
this yard performed was to provide a
place for Senator Hale's political
henchmen. Nor was that all: While
Senator Hale was in the exercise of
almost unlimited power in the Senate
as chairman of the appropriations
committee, his son, Frederick Hale,
secretly received fee of S., 900 out
Of the secret service fund for alleged
diplomatic labors in helping to fix a
Canadian boundary line. No one can
find out what young Hale actually did
to earn this $1,000. These and other
acts of Mr.. Hale while he was senator
justify the demand that he be given a
chance to explain. Perhaps he will
demand it in justice to himself. If
modesty restraints him, the opportun-
ity may be forced upon him by one
of the House investigating commit
tees.
Expensive Trust Busting
Fifty-nine thousand dollars was the
amount paid Frank B. Kellogg, the
Republican trust-buster, by the gov
eminent, between 1907 and 1911. It
is believed that Kellogg received as
much, if not more, from the trusts.
1t was developed before the Stanley
committee that in one instance he re-
ceived fees from the steel trust while
being paid by the government to
prosecute its friend and ally, the oil
trust. j. B. McReynolds, another
"trust.buster" received $64, 900 from
the public treasury for his services in
the tobacco and coal-carrying railroad
cases. In all the Republicans spent
more than s., OOO, 900 in ten years for
trust busting" and the trusts are
still with us.

the following program:
Talk-Dr. S. A. Hoover.
Cornet Solo--Louis Thompson.

Grade Teachers Should Take Higher
Education" w. L. Coonrod.
Discussion-Mr. Chamberlain and
Mr.. Miller.
Piano Solo-Miss Eula James.
Vocal Solo-Miss Rhoda K. Shaw.

DR.. Hoover's subject was 'Give the
Child Square Deal" He described
the various needs of the child which
the courses of study do not provide
for-improper nourishment, defective
eyes, defective hearing, adenoids and
throat trouble, and deformed teeth.
The fact that the physical condition of
the child should be better understood
by parents and teachers is being re-
allied more and more each day.
Mr.. Coonrod in his talk impressed
the thought that the teacher in the
country or in the grades cannot teach
successfully in that particular position
without a knowledge of the work
which follows. This subject might
have been discussed more fully had
time permitted.
