PROSPERITY AND LOTS OF 1T

The republican St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat, a conservative ot Conservatives
condemns those few wao are trying to
spread the impression that crop and
other conditions, including political
and governmental, presage hard times
Speaking of that section of the coun-
try from which some rathe- disquiet-
ing reports have come, the Glohe-Dem-
ocrat says:
"Alarmist reports concerning condi-
tons in the southwest, especially
Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri. on
account of the dry, hot weather of the
present season, are pronounced absurd
by the army OF country merchants now
in St Louis buying their fall stocks
Of merchandise. No one watches the
crop conditions in his locality with
greater solicitude than the country
merchant. for he is the first to feel the
effect Of curtailed purchasing power
among the farmers. The fact that
rural buyers are laying in stocks quite
as large as in previous years, and that
many buyers not previously seen in
81. Louis are now on the market, is
/ the best answer to all gloomy predic
tons spread abroad in the east by re
ports of the drouth.'
So much for the situation in tht
southwest Turning to the crop situa
ton, and basing its statement upor
general and authoritative reports, The
! GlObe-Democrat says:
while the corn crop will be shor
n practically all states of the grea
central valley, merchants interviewed
by the Globe-Democrat assert the farm
er is well able to withstand the short
age, as his wheat and oats bins ar
full, and his cattle and hogs are bring
ing prices which a few years ago woul,
have been considered q wild dream C
extravaganza. The merchants ais
point to the fact that farmers are buy
ing automobiles and putting in runnin
water and lighting plants at thei
homes in greater number than ever
and so long as this Is the case Their
need be no fear that the purchasin
power Of the farmer is declining"
In the opinion of reasoning peopl

What of the strong mans stubborn pas
sion,
When Love comes singing sweet and
low?
What Of the long established fashion
When Love comes pleading: Let It
From habits that enslaved before
He turns as one newborn, to sigh,
He dreams of wildwood haunts no more,
His gun and rod uncherished lie.
The thunders of applause that shook
The halls of state for him are all
Forgotten when she turns to look
And when he hears her softly cali:
The wisdom that he had he lays
Aside, forgetting TO be wise,
He Graves no honor but her praise,
His universe is in her eyes.
What of the strong mans solid reason
When Love comes signing: STRAY with
me?"
To noble heights or down to treason
He follows on submissiyely.
From that which armies might have
tried
In vain to move him he recedos.
And at a pensive woman's side
The strong man signs and humbly
pleads.
The dreams that young love dreams are
| The signs that young love sigts are
sweet.
| Glad angels hover, watching, where
| The lips OF coy young lovers meet.
! The skies above young love are blue,
The laughter of young love is gay:
| To young love all the world is new
! And ell its troubles far away.
| But send to me the sweeter. later
/ Love, biOssoming where sorrows lie,
/ The deeper love the broader, greater,
That comes TO flower but not to die.
| For him when youths wild dreams are
| spent
! And Time has withered many a hope
/ Gods gifts are best if Love is sent
To lead him down the western slope.

TAvENNER AND THE ARSENAL.


Washington dispatches few
days ago told Of the fact
that Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner
had been a regular visitor at the war
department for some time in pursuit OF
an exhaustive study of the needs of
Rock Island arsenal, and that he was
posting himself in order to intelli-
gently set forth before congress the
requirements and essentials to the
making of the great army plant one
of the foremost in the world.
According TO today's Washington
dispatches. appearing on another page,
Mr.. Tavenner is ready to present the
case of the arsenal TO congress. Next
Tuesday he will offer in the house
series of bills involving in the ag-
gregate $1,O3O,000 for the proper ex-
pansion and maintenance of the ar
senal shops or a grand scale, and the
employment necessarily Of hundreds of
additional men.
The results of Congressman Taven.
ner's research are shown in the Wash.
ington dispatch. That he has so ia.
miliarized himself with all existing cir
cumstances as to show not only the
advantage but the economy to the gov
eminent in giving heed to his plans
is self evident.
