WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST.

With the glorious splendor of the

rays through the dark clouds after a
terrific storm, the heroic sacrifice of
the brave men who went down with
the Titanic, bursts through the dark
clouds of sorrow and horror which
hang like pail abou. this great dis

"Women and children first was
the watchword in the last dark hours
of the Titanic, and of how we'll these
men did their duty as they saw it, the
list of the survivors speaks eloquently.
Theirs were not the deeds of heroism
acted in an instant under the stress OF
passion or excitement, but these men
calmly gave up their lives face to face
with a horrible death looking their
fate in the eyes for hours.
Who can describe the magnitude Of
their self sacrifice? Life, family, per-
haps riches, honor and fame with all
that these things mean to mortals
were put aside without faltering and
without fear.
To these men the world owes a
debt of gratitude which cannot be ex-
pressed in words, not only for the
precious lives they snatched from the
deep in an hour of peril and gave
back to us, but for the lesson of life
which they have taught us. In this
commercial age we are too apt to lose
sight of the nobler things in life and
regard our brothers as cold blooded,
selfish and cruel, becoming cynical
toward life and our fellow man, but
those who went down with the Titanic
have shown US that human nature has
not changed and that men, while they
may be thoughtless, selfish or even
cruel in the lesser things in life, may
still rise to godlike heights when
brought to the test.
Let their epitaph be women and
children first" No man could ask
one more glorious.

To the Friends of Champ Clark.

Washington, D. c., Apr. 16.
Champ Clark and the managers Of
his campaign would be glad to have
every reader of this who is his friend
and who has personal friends in the
state of Texas to write them letter
urging them to give him their active
support.
Mr.. Clark is now the leading candi-
date for the Democratic nomination,
with a splendid chance of success,
and desires to have his Missouri
friends aid him all they can in his ef-
fort to carry the state of Texas.
The convention in that state will
be held May 26, but county conven-
tons will be held from now on until
that time, so it is important that any
letters sent to friends should be for
warded promptly.
Very truly yours,

VIRTUALLY A TAFT VICTORY.

VIRTUALLY A TAFT VICTORY.
A summing up of the situation on
the eve of the Republican State con-
vention indicates that the Republican
state administration is in a fair way
to "1ose its face" The governor,
who so nimbly leaped into the Roose-
welt band wagon with the six other
little governors some weeks ago, now
seems woefully lacking in assurance
in spite of the fact that he has had
practically his entire list of appointees
hard at work throughout the State
since that time.
Taft leaders are claiming 494 ~
uncontested votes, concede 44O 1-2 to
the Roosevelt forces, with ga dele
gates contested. The contests will
be decided by the Republican State
committee, and of course it cannot be
predicted what action they will take,
but regardless of to whom the contest
ed delegates are given, the fight in
Missouri has virtually proven to be a
Taft victory, having been close and
hoHy contested in spite. of the enor-
nous pressure brought to bear, by
the state administration.

Worlds Flowing Record.

The worlds record for blowing was
recently broken in a demonstration at
Purdue university, Indiana, in which a
gang plowhaving fifty plows and drawn
by three traction engines turned over
a stubble field at the rate of an acre
every four and one-half minutes,
says the January Popular Mechanics
Magazine in an illustrated article.
This mammoth pillow cuts a strip nearly
six feet wide, and turns over seven
acres for every mile it travels. Each of
the fifty plows is independent of the
others rising and falling as easily and
naturally as a wooden chip on the
surface of rough water, so that the
service of the machine is not confined
to ground absolutely level.
