AN effort was made to abolish
the sweet berth of bee inspector in
the House, but the bee inspector
vas right on his job and the effort
failed. This official is one of the
States ever increasing army of in
spectors who extracts 1000 plunks
annually from the taxpayers and
is supposed to look after bees in
return. Nobody seems to know
who he is, where he halls from, or
what he does, but such is the
average legislators love for in
spectors that the bill to divorce
the bee boss from his honey failed
by a comfortable majority. Now,
won't some law-maker move to
establish an Inspector of Wasps
and Mud-daubers? That would be
protective to the citizen when the
chill winds of late autumn drive
these hot-ended insects into hu-
man habitations. Conservation of
the good is desirable; but protec-
ton against ill ought not be over

parently been solely absorbed by his

closed the discussion by informing the
party that they were all wrong. "The

THE Sunday paper is fearfully
and most wonderfully constructed.
Reading one last Sunday evening
my eye was amazed and my mind
fear-o'erwhelmed with a startling
picture delineation and a long and
circumstantial and most horrify-
ing account of how this poor old
earth was in imminent and con-
slant danger of being summarily
destroyed by one of the innumer-
able derelicts wandering through
space without orbit or lawful pur-
pose. The derelict dead star is to
jam into the sun, upset the whole
solar system, and induce a tenn
perature never dreamed of, even
by the old-fashioned Methodist
r~evivalist Of the days of my youth,
when portraying the destined
abode of sinners unrepentant.
Rocks, earth, and animal forma-
ton are to be fused into one COM
mon whole of ashes impalpable,
while the seas and the rivers are to
be boiling chaldrons whose rising
steam will create tempests and hur-
ricanes such as never have disturb
ed the elements or terrified the fear.
full soul. 1t was awful, that pict-
ure of possible-nay, probable
destruction, with even chaos, be-
cause of lack of materials, elimi-
mated from the result. Scared? Of
course | was! Until my trembling
fingers turned the sheet and be-
held on the adjoining page a half
dozen or so mighty pretty feminine
figures with smiling faces all
logged out in up-to-date clothes.
together with a calm and matter
of-fact forecast of the fashions to
prevail the coming spring and
summer. This promised brief
respite, and toned down fear for
the immediate future. Then |
looked further and read on another
page that the Panama Canal
would certainly be completed in
two or three years, the writer urg-
ing a world record breaking cele-
bration of the big and costly
ditch accomplished. This again
soothed my perturbation, and,
turning again to the fateful page,
I looked with more complacent
feelings upon that picture drawn
by creative art of clashing derelict
and sun. "Hope springs eternal"
ETC., and conducive to its spring.
ing in this case, came the thought
that the bullying Sunday output
must be filed, cen though the

worlds and the crack of DOOM"
So / conclude with the observa-
ton that heads this brief tribute to

edition it is fearfully and wonder
fully constructed, and-largely-
of mental extravaganza.

IT is said that President Taft
may deny Arizona admission into
the Union because he is averse to
the ''recall" provision in it's con-
stitution which affects judges as
we'll as all other officials. 1t seems
to me the President, if the rumor
above alluded to be true, is all too
solicitous for the sanctity of the
ermine. We have all seen times
when the "recall' would have been
a mighty handy weapon to have
lying around loose. His Honor is
not always impeccable nor beyond
the necessity Of helpful stimula-
ton toward duty and justice.

SENATOR CARTER passed his road

the good road fund among the
counties of tho State, but before
any county or the City of st. Louis
can claim its allotment it must
make and collect a good roads
levy of % cents on the 500 val

the bill, claiming that it contrib
utes 81 IL per cent. of of the good

it would practically get nothing
back, as it could not levy the Is
cents for good roads.

MRS. SHONTS WILL
 SEEK SEPARATION
Papers Said to. Have Been Served on Interborough
 President

NEW YORK, July 5.-The fact that Mrs. Theodore F. Shonts has begun suit for separation from her husband, the head of the Interbor- ongh company. has been announced by s. G. Archibald. an attorney, ae- cording to a dispatch from Paris, where Mrs. Shonts is now staying with her daughter, the Duchess~ du Chaulnes.
 Mir. Archibald stated the papers in the action were served on the Interborough president in New York some time ago and that the com plaint was now in the hands of Leaventritt. Cook X Nathan.
 Three weeks ago today former Judge David Leayentritt, head of this firm, sailed for Paris, and 1t was generally understood at that time that he had gone to consult with his client. Mrs. Shonts.
 Lawyers Refuse to Talk.
 At the office of the firm Harold Nathan was the only one. who could be found today. He declined to discuss the matter.
 Delaney Nicoll, attorney for Mir Shonts. said: Just put me down as declining to discuss the matter. The fact that Mrs. Shonts had be- gun action has been common knowl. edge in the financial district for some time. It is said that the dis agreement is long standing, but that Mrs. Shonts only recently made up her mind to seek relief in the courts"
 Strenuous efforts have been made by attorneys employed by both par ties to keep the matter secret. In the InteTborough offices repeated de niais of the marital troubles have been given out during the lasi three weeks and Leo Leaventritt. son of the former judge. who is Mrs Shont's attorney. has on moro than one occasion stated positively that no snch action had been begun Friends of the traction magnate. how ever, have been talking of the sep aration action for weeks. They have frankly admitted that the papers have been served and filed.

A WHOLESOME DEMOCRATIC VIEW

Speaker Clark puts his own case and that of the democratic party very sensibly in his letter to the newspapers of his sistrict It Is
 erfectly true that the great change in the politics of the country last fall was due to the active resent ment of the country toward the Payne tariff and the harsh and sell fish rule of congress by the repub- lican machine. The mandate to the successful party was to reduce the tariff and emancipate congress. They have done much-all that was hu- manly possible-to carry out that mandate. says the New York Times.
 In the house they have. as Mir. Clark says. been demonstrating their capacity to run" it practically and efficiently. and their success is largely due to his good faith and manly unselfishness. He not only to, he heartily advocated, the reform by which the naming of was placed in the hands of the democrats of the ways and means committee. who themselves were chosen by a general caucus Ie cordially co-operated in the raming of a policy by the elected ! eaders of the party, submitted to nd accepted by the representatives 'f the party.

PRINCESS AMAZED VIENNA
None Dreamed That zita Would Gu.
 Out Emperor's Granddaughter.


 VIENNA. July 5.-The betrothal or Princess Zita of Parma tock the Austrian Imperial Court by surprise and upset the calculations of a CO terie of scneming archduchesses who had designs on the throne.
 There are those who surmise that the betrolhsl Is but another eyi- dence of the determination of the norganatic wife, the Duchess of Ho- henburg, to secure the throne for her elder son Prince Maxlmilian. Already the public has knowledge or her motherly planning, of the arch dukes bitter quaTrels with the em- peror because the latter refused to raise the duchess to a rank SO that she might be on the same plane as her husband and of the plotting Of the emperor's younger daughter, arch duchess Marie Valerie, to marry her eldest daughter, archduess Ella, to young archduke Charles Francis Ferdinand. in order to clinch the throne for the heir presumptives nephew instead of her son.
 1t was a very complicated intrigue, and it was carried on with great secrecy The emperor favored h.s grand-nephew's marriage with his granddaughter Ella. of whom he is very fond, and whom he wanted to see married to a future heir to the throne.
 Francis Ferdinand's stepmother, Maria Theresa, always has had much influence with her tepdaughter-in-law, archduchess Ma ria Josepha. the mother of arch duke Charles Francis Joseph. These iaides appear to have joined hands to provide the young man with a bride before the plans of Marie Va lerie-who is expecting the tenth visit from the stork and has to postpone even the most important be realized.
