81. Louis RepubI!cO

The Republic wishes to make a col
lection of the songs Of the Mississippi.
II requests those of its readers who
recall songs sung by raftsmen or
steamboatmen TO write them down
and forward them for publication. All
are worth preserving. No matter how
trivial or crude some Of them may be,
there is a chapter Of American history
written in these rude lyrics and sim
pie tunes without which the story Of
the west and its conquest would be
incomplete.
The river Is dea6tOuay. The feet
remaining upon il is but the remnant
and shadow of former things. The
world has forgotten IT, But in the 40's
and sos OF the last century the river
was the highway Of civilization. For
the east, the Ohio was the road TO me
west, and the Missouri the path TO the
land of gold, and fur, and the savage.
By the Mississippi. the lumber of the
north entered the market Of the world
and the cotton and the sugar OF the
south sought the sea. First came the
keelboatmen and fatboatmen, then the
steamboat drove the ruder craft from
the stream. The raftsman came with
the first and stayed TO the end
These men were brave, rugged and

Joy Of living, and so they sang. just as
did the men OF Richard the Lion Heart S
day, or the palladins Of Charlemangne.
And their songs. since they sang for

no word OF description can. Take the

THE CAMPAIGN EXPENSE

It is unusual for the voters them
selves TO pay the expenses OF a poll
teal campaign in this country, but
that is exactly what is being done in
connection with the candidacy OF Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson for the presi-
dency. Through the medium Of the
democratic press Of the country this
is being accomplished to a large ex-
tent. approximately 1,200 newspa-
pers already have opened their col
umns for popular contributions. OF
these nearly 900 are weekly and the
remainder are daily newspapers.
The responses received so far
have been gratifying to the managers
OF Governor Wilson. The theory is
that the people will be glad TO pay the
legitimate expenses OF the campaign
If given an opportunity to do so, and it
was for this reason that the plan Of
appealing TO them through the news.
papers was formulated.
Contributions under the press con.
tributions plan are being received by
Rolla Wells. the treasurer OF the ma.
tional democratic committee, in
amounts ranging from so cents to s1OO
and upwards. Governor Wilson has
simply requested that all donations be
closely scrutinized with the idea of re
iecting those which are given by cor,
poratlons or financial interests for Ill
terror purposes.
Colonel Robert Ewing, national
committeeman from Louisiana, and
publisher of the New Orleans States
is in charge OF the press contribution
bureau. He was remarkably success
full four years ago when. through his
own paper, he collected nearly s35.
600 In Louisiana, Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi. His Offices are located in the
Karpen building, Chicago, having beer
removed TO the new location from
New York.

WHAT WE ARE ALL AIMING AT.

WHAT WI AXE ALL AIMING AT.
One OF the fashion correspondents
Of the day tells how TO dress well on
a small income.
That is the kind OF information we
have all been looking for, and while It
can be accomplished TO a certain eX-
tent. II requires great study and some
labor on the part OF any one who wish
a. TO accomplish the object. Unfor-
tunately. our ideas OF good dress are
estimated 20 a certain extent upon the
expense in connection with the cos
tune worn. Things are not always the
prettiest because they cost the most,
and yet great many people make the
expense Of the garment the chief fac
tor in deciding whether Il is a good
garment or a poor garment
AS far as comfort and general ap-
pearance are concerned. it is FORUM
ate that anybody OF moderate means
can dress just as comfortably and look
just as we'll on a small income as most
any person can by large expenditure
OF money.
Sometimes simplicity in dress Is one
Of the chief attractions and likewise
one Of It's economical features.

COMMENT FROM THE CAPITAL

those are the objects of The Fill
tious for pressing the sacred cause so
dear to the hearts of the Filipinos-
in the form of public opinion. In the
years that have gone by since first
American occupation of the Philip
pines rapid and extensive progress has
been made by the Filipinos in educa-
ton. in industrial efficiency and in the
art and practice of self-government.
National consciousness has developed
through the diffusion of learning and
the spread OF political discussion. No
longer can it be said that the Fill
pinos are divided in opinion or sep
arated in action. They have become
truly a people, united and inspired by
common passion for freedom, Animal
ed by a heroic purpose to achieve an
Independent national entity. Fill
pinos occupy many high positions I'M
der the insular government. Local
governments are almost wholly In
their control. A Philippine assembly
sits at Manila, but its limited powers
and narrow sphere of action do not
satisfy or represent the higher as
pirations of the Filipino people. They
desire an autonomous government
they demand an Independent national
existence. free from alien domination,
responding directly to their ideals and
sentiments.
TO DEMONSTRATE CAPABILITY.
THAT the Filipino people can estab-
lish and maintain such a government
it is our purpose to demonstrate by
incontestable facts drawn from the
past history and present conditions of
the Islands. We believe that when the
American people and the American
government are convinced of the
whole truth about the Filipinos, they
will no longer withhold those rights Of
self-government acknowledged in the
/ immortal declaration of independence
| to be self-evident, inherent in our COM
mon humanity. To the enlightened
/ orinion of mankind. therefore, we ap-
peal for earnest hearing of our cause,
confident that it is just, beneficent and
righteous"

1t is not at all necessary To resort 10

there IS one insurlnountable obstacle
TO regarding them as supernatural

circumstance that the ghosts wear

there really may be- ghosts of persons.
but nobody who gave the matter sec.

SONGS OF THE RIVERMEN

hazard of new fortunes in the great
west among trappers, gold-seekers and
hostile savages, sums up in herself the
romance of her day. Many ridiculous
parodies of Goodbye, My Lover, Good
bye" are current What were the
original words?
Here is a stanza from period be-
fore the steamboat came, when the
fiatboat, or "broadhOrn," carried the
grain of the Mississippi valley to the
cotton and cane country of the south.
The boat was left at New Orleans to
be broken up and the flatboatmen,
crossing Lake Pontchartrain in the
early winter TO the hill country OF Mis-
sissippi, made their way overland TO
the Ohio valley:
The old master is proud OF his old
broadhorn,
When it brings him plenty Of tin.
The crew they are darkies. the cargo is
corn,
And the money comes tumbling in.
CHORUS.
Down the river. down the river, down
the Ohio,
This is all that fingers in memory
Perhaps Republic readers can supply
what is lacking.
The raftsmen Of the 7O's and SOS had
not only songs, but also tales peculiar
to the river, which must still live in
! the recollection Of children and young
people to whom a "raftboat trip was
/ the acme Of summer pleasures. These
tales should be preserved before all
