Nan was not in an amiable mood
when Stuart led her to the box In the
millionaire's playhouse which New
York society built to exhibit its gowns,
jewelry and beautiful women.
AS the moment for Harriets appear

sion became a positive agony. The
people were in a friendly mood of ex-
pectancy. The fact that she was an

The audience greeted her appear
ance with a burst of applause and
waited for the first note
Stuart was charmed with the effect
of her personality in the character. be
fore she moved. The long. beautiful
golden hair. the innocent young face
and her simple girlish costume made
an instantaneous impression.
With the first sweet note from her
throat every fear vanished. She sang
simply. quietly, eXquisitely. without
effort as bird sings because the
song bubbles from within. ripple
of surprised comment swept the audi
ence and burst into vigorous applause
at the close of her song. From start
to finish Harriet received a continuous
ovation. The audience rose in their
seats and greeted her with such a
tribute of enthusiasm New York had
rarely seen.
When Stuart had fought his way
through the crowd and reached the
stage he found her alone with her ia
Their in her room. Her head was rest
ing on his breast. and he was stroking
the fair young forehead with tender,
caressing touch,
Stuart turned away from the scene
and left them alone for a few mo-
ments He found Nan and asked her
to wait for him at the stage door in
her automobile until he could give
Harriet his congratulations

Stone vs.. Major.

OF course Senator Stone wants to be
reelected. No other political position
is open to him. He cannot hope for
an appointment at the hands of Pres
ident-elect Wilson on account of his
Baltimore record -- and because the
president elect is not favorable to the
Stone type Of democratic politicians.
So if the senior Missouri senator can
not be reelected he will be set aside
entirely. He has lately been in the
state seeking to line up his friends for
an aggressive campaign. 1t is not
unlikely that Governor Major may be
ready in 1914 to seek the senatorial
toga now worn by Stone, as he will
be stronger politically in the middle
Of his gubernatorial term than near its
close in 1916 when a successor to SEN
ator Reed must be named. Before
that time the people may be empow-
cred to elect senator by direct vote.
All signs now indicate spirited fight
on Senator Stone within his own party,
this year and next.

The Democratic Record.

While pretending TO be devoted to
the principle Of an effective regulation
Of public service corporations, they,
(the democratic leaders in the legis-
lature) for the second time in two
years, declined TO pass a bill providing
for public service commission such
as has been found so efficient in other
states, and also declined to prohibit
the greatest OF all Determinations in
railroad affairs - the railroad pass.
While pretending to be devoted to the
great principle Of public economy they
made appropriations over million
dollars in excess Of available revenues
and declined to pass a single effective
measure increasing the general rev.
enues Of the state.-Governor Hadley.

A Struggle Of Years.

In speech before the Association ol
Young Republicans at their banquet,
February IL, 1919, Governor Hadley
said:
1T is with pardonable pride that the
members Of this association conaider
tonight the political events of the last
ten years, and the work that we have
done in placing Missouri in the re.
publican column.
Eleven years ago, when this Asso-
citation was organized, Missouri was
apparently hopelessly democratic,
ranking in public estimation along with
Arkansas and Mississippi in the intens-
ity and reliability Of its democracy.
But the young republicans OF Missouri
we're unwilling to believe that party
that had cast over quarter Of a million
votes in 1884, which had come within
eight thousand votes Of carrying the
state in 1888; which had stood firm in
its devotion to republican principles in
the midst Of the democratic landslide
Of 1892; which showed a steadily in
creasing vote in every election, was
permanently doomed TO continue to
be the minority party in the State Of
Missouri. And they were also unwill-
ing to believe that the people OF this
state would continue to leave in the
hands OF a political organization and
machine a control OF public affairs
which had been misused and abused
for the benefit Of special interests and
private gain. And so, not discouraged
by adversely, and confident, even in
the face Of continued defeat, the fight
for republican principles continued
with unabated enthusiasm and a firm
confidence in ultimate success"
The fight for republican principles
must go on, despite the fact that a
breach in the forces Of the republican
party last year enabled the bourbons to
sieze the state government. A MAJOR
ity Of the people Of this state favor re-
publican principles and policies.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1913-02-13

When eminent senators talk about
the danger Of despot seizing our
government and ruling the American
people they ought to be laughed out
Of the chamber. The American peo-
pie may be a little peculiar in their
political conduct at times but man
with a disposition TO become a deSpot
would not long be countenanced by
any political party and would be de-
spised by the people.

Perhaps Governor Hadley paroled
that marvellous mathematician and
turned him out Of the penitentiary so
that he might be available when the
democratic leaders undertake to figure
out how TO pay appropriations aggre'
eating twelve millions out Of public
revenues Of less than ten millions. 1t
is said that the convict mathematician
can correctly master any difficult prob-
lem in figures. He ought TO be placed
on the clerical force Of both the house
and the senate so as to be handy when
the democratic law makers get mixed
in their figures.

President Woodrow Wilson is
reported to have used a common "cuss
word" in emphasizing a statement to
newspaper men that he will not take
the public into his confidence and an
nounce the names OF men he has

will find ordinary "cuss words" too
mild for the Washington City atmos-
phere when he gets there.

Will SupDIY Trained Farm Hands.

The short course at the College OF
Agriculture promises to be the means
Of supplying Missouri farmers with well
trained farm hands, and city lar d
owners with competent farm managers.
As the course grows older, there are
an increasing number Of students WHO
take this work for the special purpose
Of fitting themselves to become first
class farm hands, instead Of going to
the city to fit themselves to become
clerks or shopkeepers.
The only other short course which
can be compared with that at Missouri
is the one offered by the Wisconsin
College OF Agriculture. This ipstitu-
ton has for many years supplied the
farmers Of Wisconsin and other states
with from 100 to $50 farm hards anC
farm managers annually. With the
passing Of years, the short course a
Missouri College Of Agriculture bid

in uaining ambitious young men t,

did so many other big things we cannot
