DECORATION DAY.

Now let the earth its richest hues display
The green Of fresh young grass and roses gay.
Let all the trees put forth their blossoms fair
To shed their fragrance on the silky air
Let skies be azure, and the sparkling sea
AS deeply blue as e'er the Heavens be-
And like hymn Of praise let there be heard
The blthesome chorus of the winged bird.
Let fall the dew as softly as the tear
Falls from the eye Of innocence, and clear
OF blemish as that selt-same hawless sign
Of sympathy from spirits all divine.
In all the forests let the breezes sigh
Through underbrush, and trees that tower high,
To tell the love Of those who yet do live
For them that gave all that they had to give
Both North and South may all men congregatc
In honor of the heroes Of the State
Let none a line Of demarcation draw,
But honor each as he his honor saw!
For sacrifice on every hand was seen
When dread Belona with her scowling mien
Led North and South to battle with their might
For causes as each one perceived the light.
One heart, one mind, one soul hath risen up
To weld nation from wars awful cup,
And through conflict, fought at bitter length,
Achieved whole all glorious in strength,
The which is ours to have, and ours to hold,
And keep us free from dross as purest gold
Let all men gather and glad tribute pay
To great souls North and South, upon this Day!

Of Opinion on Secrecy Of Ballots.

St. Louis, May %. That fearless
Pike county democrat Col. David A,
Ball, is making an aggressive fight
against W. S Cowherd Of Kansas City
for the democratic nomination for gov
ernor, knowing that Cowherd is the
man he must defeat if ne is to be nom
mated himself. In 1908 Ball defeated
Cowherd in the counties Of the state
but democratic election crooks in ST..
Louis and Kansas City put over"
Cowherd by tricks in balloting and
ballot counting that were perfectly easy
in those days and had been easy for
years before, under democratic control
Of elections tricks that cannot be
played now, under a republican ad
ministration.
Col. Ball is now telling the honest
democrats Of the state how he honestly
won the nomination for governor in
1908 but was defrauded in the cities
and compelled to let Cowherd head
the democratic state ticket. In late
speech delivered at Fulton he made
clear some facts that ought to be given
wide publicity for the public good
facts that are specially interesting at
the close OF the desperate effort Of dem
ocratic machine leaders to put Judge
CAN'T back on the supreme bench in
spite Of his defeat in 1910 by his re-
publican opponent, Judge John c.
Brown.
Abiding in his speech to his efforts,
Immediately following the general pri-
mary election in 1908, to prove how
he had been deirauded in St. Louis by
election judges acting under direction
Of democratic crooks and manipulators,
in behalf Of Cowherd, Col. Ball recited
in detail the queer record Of voting or
Of vote counting in precinct 403, where
the ballots Gas counted) exhibited
strange and suspicious unanimity on the
part OF democratic voters, l99 ballots
having been counted for Cowherd and
other democratic slate candidates and
none whatever for their opponents.
He stated that, at his instance, prose
cution Of the four judges Of that pre-
cinct was begun. One Of them, Nc
Grath, democrat, was convicted and
appealed his case. Successful prosecu-
tion Of the others was prevented by a
decision OF Judge CAN'T. In order to
procure evidence with which to convict
the three other judges the prosecutors
asked for and obtained an order from
the trial court requiring the board Of
election commissioners to produce the
ballot box and ballots used in precinct
403. Emil Won Stade, one Of the
judges on trial, applied to the supreme
court for a writ OF prohibition to prevent
the opening Of the ballot box. Judge
CAN'T, then member Of that court,
issued the writ, writing an opinion in
which he quoted from the notorious
Marshall opinion Of that court and
adopted it as his own, saying:
But is asked, has the constitution
deprived the state Of Missouri Of the
right TO inspect the ballots when she
seeks to expel an intruder from office?
Shall she not be permitted to have the
ballots opened when necessary TO con-
