many strange things. Finally he ran
across the mastodon. His eye rested
upon the inscription and a wonderful
light came into his face. "By thunder,

A Marshall young LAZY without
any special "puiln secured a fine
position on merit in good high
school We asked her how she
managed to C the place and
abe sad the superintendent must
have recommended her. Inquiry
developed that the super. ntendent
had questioned her carefully and
that three OF the questions were
'Do you dancer" "Do you play
cards" "Do you belong to church"
Neither OF these questions bear di
rectly ON ability but they do have
a tremendous bearing on her et-
ficiency In the school room, as well
an her fitness to teach and lead
These same questions are being
asked more and more in everyday
life and the person who wants to
make his life count will consider
well how he or she spends his leis-
ure time.

Editor Republican;
Az Il now seems ID. W. Major has
been nominated on the Democratic
ticket for Governor I would like
to ask how many Republicans or
any independent voter can support
him for he Is politically dishonest
or to call II In a mi!der term
strictly partisan. The legislatu 9 n
oil failed to redistrict the state
INTO new state senatorial districts
9 Is rs d ~ to do every 20 years
Il then became the duty oil the
.hree state ofticers-the governor
secretary OF state and attorney
o~eneraI-to redistrict the state
which was done by Major, Roach
ard Hadiey, two being Democrats
and one Republican. This redis-
tricting m done by Roach and
Major against the will OF Hadiey
was grossly unfair to the Repub
iicans for II gave the Republicans
only twelve state senator's and the
Democrats twenty twoh
But furthermore to make II dis
honest the city OF st. Louis was en-
titled to seven state Senators ac-
cording to population and was CIV
en- only ak. (Let Il be remembered
that In the last two elections the
vote OF the two parties Republican
and Democratic have been close
sless than 5000 votes difference and
mostly In favor OF the Republicans
But fortunately the Republican
Governor would not issue the pro-
clamation and thus was prevented
an infamous redistricting Of thu
state.
Let the Democrat press explaiI
this late redistricting. l Away
like to hear both sides OF any ques
tion. Therefore every Repusln al
In the state whether he Is going t.
vote for Roosevelt or Taft shoub
by all means vote for John c. Nc
Kinley for Governor. The peopl
OF Missouri do not approve o
sstr,ctly partisanism in its admins

LESS FIRES IN NEW YORK.
>tii the Number IL Over twice That
In European cities.

New York. Jan. s.-rhc grca. publicity
given by the newspapers to methods of
fire prevention and the scheme OF rigorous
inspection of hazardous premises have
caused decrease in New Yorll's fires
during the last six months at the rate
of 2.i52 a year. according to the semi
annual report of Commissioner johnson
to the mayor
The number Of fires in The first six
months OF 1911 was 7.sl2, or at a rate of
i3 day. This ratio would have meant an
increase over 1910 of l.2lH fires. As a
matter of fact the number % fires from
July | to December % 1911 was $40. Or
ut tho rate of 20 a day. Commissioner
johnson arrived al his total estimate for
the period by figuring =; fires a day for
the remaining II days of the year. making
1895 fires for the year. actually seven
less for 1911 than for 1910
The commissioner renews his plea for a
bureau OF fire prevention. and says that
the large number Of inspections of
hazardous premises has been made by
members Of the uniformed force ''in the
absence and anticipation of such a
bureau" The fact that New York. on
the figures Of 1910 had 800 fires for every
10000 inhabitants. London 81. Paris ~,
Berlin ~, St Petersburg &c and Vienna
80 indicates. the commissioner says the
possibility of better preventive work.
The further fact that there is "A fire loss
