Are You GoinA 10 SCHOOL,

The fall term at the Warrensburg
State Normal School will begin Tues
day, September 9th. The catalogue
will be sent on request.
The state has invested SA7s 900
in this Normal School Plant. The
school prepares teachers for all the
needs Of all the schools.
The standards Of work in this
school are high, and the cost to stu
dents less than in any other school
Of same rank. Last year was the
best in the existence of the school,
but not as gooi as the next will be.
Laws enacted by the last Legislature
give the people OF Missouri new OPP
portunities in education. Schools
will mean more. Teaching as 4 pro-
fession will mean more to Missouri's S
young men and young women.
Crops may fail, and business may
fail, but the demand for well pre-
pared school teachers will never fail.
Thorough scholarship and prepar-
alton to do some one thing we'll is
always a sound proposition. That
is our proposition.
Every department is W II organized
and well equipped. OF the Library

Unsuitable hunger for the souls of those

Dwight l.. Moody. In the Fxamin-
er, Rev. DR. VIM. F. Hatcher has rec

touching and very characteristic in

the meetings in Baltimore:
lone afternoon there was some
confusion little way from the pulpit.
MIR. Moody stopped instantly. A

Mr.. Moody stood quiet, without a
word or gesture. Presently the man
rose, and climbed awkwardiy over
the feet of his neighbors in the pew,
out into the aisle.

singing and join in the songs with
spirit and vigor. 1t is fine exercise

into tune with wholesome melody.
That is what health is-harmony.
And If these organs can be put into
tune with some grand and hopeful
hymn, they will insure strength and
joy. This intangible and invisible
medicine is the best there is. Even
when the doctor comes you depend
upon it more than on his pills. See
how the short breath stretches and

Range Lights.

The future of Democracy, as also
its history, is study OF leadership,
including how to lead and how to
follow. The distribution OF the great
gifts Of God to men is made through
exceptional personalities-prophe,s.
1t is the common notion that pro-
phets are foretellers of the future.
But they are simply the TALL men,
spiritually, whose eyes catch the
earliest rays of every morning.
("pro phemi"--'.I speak beforc.")
These men are always statesmen
and always preachers-ministers OF
state. Society is the corporation Of
man for the common good. Religion
is the only hope of it, and the only
guaranty. What we call ''politics"
is the under side of religion, where
leaders FOLLOW.
These are dark days, in many ways.
But one great inspiration quickens
them. One great light illumines
them. 1t will be the glory Of the
present national administration. that,
at last, our ''practical politics" be-
gins to shine with the high lights of
religion. This, of course, makes the
shadows deeper.
But great day is dawning. Pauls
prophetic question is asking itself in
the mind OF the masses: "How shall
they hear with ut preacher2" The
answer is coming visibly. in the pop
ular veto of administering good gov
eminent with bad officials.
The eternal logic of things begins,
too, to press the next question:
"How shall they preach excepr they
be sent1" So the voice of a great
people creeps upward to the voice OF
God. That is civilization. And
throughout the land the heart OF the
humble citizen is crying to itself:
GLOW beautiful are the feet of them
that preach the gospel of PEACE,
and bring glad tidings of good
THINGs!"
1t has long been the reproach OF
the cynics. and sinics, against Bryan,
Roosevelt, La Toilette, Dolliver,
Sheppard, Clapp, Bristow, Daniels,
Borah, Kenyon, Polndexter, Webb,
and their kind, that greatest, truest,
happiest of nations--for all the mean
ness, falseness and miseries that still
abound within it, is STUDYING
RIGHTEOUSNESS, the only thing
that ever did or ever exalt a nation.
Religion is in command. The lead
crs lead. And Woodrow Wilson, the
historian, is making history, upon a
level higher than was ever known be-
fore--a statesman, preacher, a
prophet. His speech at Gettysburg
was as epochal of this age as Lin
coins was of the age that has passed

Tho Continuing DUTY.

Governor Major is entitled to much
credit for the success OF his good
roads spree. But now that he has
doffed his overalls and resumed or
dinary attire, he finds himself con-
fronted with the continuing duty Of
giving to the people of Missouri
broad-minded, efficient and nom
partisan administration. This duty
he has not performed conspicuously
in the past. From the momen, he as
sumed the governorship he proceeded
upon the assumption that he was
elected first as a Democrat and Sec
ondlyas a Major Democrat. He has
availed himself OF every opportunity
TO build up a political machine that
will be OF service to him in carrying
out his future political ambitions.
In the matter OF nepotism he has
set the worst possible example to the
people OF the state. lie has not only
put his own relatives in office, but has
iaiied to rebuke the even more ha-
grant conduct OF other members OF
MS administration. Sisters and BROTH
ers and wives and nephews and uncles
and aunts galore adorn the payrolls OF
the state, and the fact points to de-
porable conception OF official pro-
priety in this respect. There seems 10
be ieverish effort to make all the
financial hay possible while the official
sun is shining. Public Office in the
capital appears to be a family grab
bag, into which the hands of relatives
are thrust to the elbows. In svme
instances it is fair to assume that an
adequate return is being made for the
salaries received, but in others It is
clear that the peoples money is being
diverted to private use in the thinnes,
guise of official service. The stu.
alton is one which reflects disiinc;
discredil upon the whole adminis,ra'
ton.
While the farmers are being cater
ed to in the matterof good roads, the
Major Machine is being busily perfect
ed in the big cities OF the state, wher,
only major men" are being "put OF
gaurd." The governor seems ut,erl.
incapable of appreciatng the fact tina
he is the governor of the whole peo
pie, the governor OF all parties and al
classes, not merely the elected off ia

The Whitewash Incident,

In0 WnlC0W0Sn lnCl00nt.
John 4. Fry in Harper's Weekly
gives this version of Mark Twain's
whtewash exploit in Hannable. Fry
went to school with Mark Twain, and
he knows the truth about the white
wash story:
"Sam Clemens? Yes, l know him.
Went to school with him, and Pm
bound to say that he did keep up
with US, but nobody ever knew how
he managed to learn anything.
Shiftless, lazy and dadblasted tired

the the time too busy getting in
some new kind of devilment. And
he sure was a boy, Sam was, who
knew how to entertain himself.
"Ever hear about him and the
whitewash' Can't say whether he
ever put it in any of his books or
not, but it's fact. everp word OF it.
Well, sir, one time he went out over
the neighborhood and took contracts
for whitewashing tight-board fences.
Then, come night, he blew his
whistle or cat-meowed to get out the
boys. Told 'em he had a good
trick they could play off on the
neighbors. He let on that people
would be awful mad if any whi,ewash
was put on their fences; they wanted
to plant vines and flowers along their
fences, the neighbors did-so he
said, and then explained to us how
lime would surely be terrible hard on
the plants. People would wonder
who had done it; neighbors would
be awful mad; it would kick up no
end of a row.
"Well, that sounded reasonable
and all right. And there we were,
US boys just spelling for excitement.
To worry folks lot we thought was
mos, as good fun as a minstrel show.
So that's why the scheme that Sam
Clemens got up looked so almighty
attractive. But | disremember wheth.

These kind Of days call to mind
Van Crewson's little poem that went

SummOr Days.
oh. these hazy snmmer days!
How the golden harvest CLEANS.
while our thoughts rest at anchor
On . sea Of blissfui dreams.
Aud how sweet the clover blossoms
Standing where the shadows play;
Mid them let me sleep forever,
A never ending golden day.
Oh, how sweet the tinglins echoes!
Breaking from each merry bell,
Where the elm throws its shadow
O'er the herds in bosky deli,
where the ~hirling. puriing waters
Creep along the mossy walls,
Or dashing in the rocky canyon
Into Q thousand singing falls.
Der rosy banks and waving meadow
slowly rolls the droning bee,
frcighted with it's store Of honey,
Floating oer honey sea.
In the shadows drowsy watching
Clouds like ribbons slowly creep;
while gentle breezes sweetly laden,
I.uii the watcher of to sleep.

it's public lands. he points out that
thu time can be recalled when the
government could not give away lands
that are now worth $500 an acre. The
government has been liberal, he
admits, but the government has been
literally rewarded. AS he puts it
We have given away millions of
acres of the public school lands, but
we have by so doing built up an
empire in little more than half a
century that could not have been
developed in Thousand years under
the old regime, and we have made
men more of an asset than mere land.
In his remarks on our immigration
policy, the tariff, immigration, and
other public questions. Mr. Cannon
merely asks that statesmen of today
profit by the experience of the past
fifty yeats. It is unsafe to discard
what is safe-what has brought us
happiness and prosperity merely to
try out experiments. The logic of
Mr.. Cannon's argument is summed
when he says:
[ may be little old fashioned, a
little welded to the past, but I like to
ride in an automobile; and when !
engage, a chauffeur I look to his
fami iarity with the machine and
how it is made, rather than to his
ability to foot a horn and turn on
the power to surprise and scatter a
crowd with his nerve and speed.
