The Call to the Roads

The whole Missouri commonwealth
building roads at one time!
There is the fine, state-building
thing called "vision" in Governor
Majors call to the highways.
August 20 and 21 will be great days
in Missouri's historic calendar.
Now let all the counties and towns
respond in generous rivalry. And
let all the able-bodied men prove their
able bodies and their able love of the
state.
The women? The surest thing you
know is that they, too, will help.
They're going to be the Betsy Rosses
and the Molly Starks of the Missouri
Revolution" j." They will be in the
game because good roads mean good
schools for the kids, and good ways
to the church, and better times on
the farms and in the towns, too.
A common work on all the roads of
all Missouri will do more for the sure
enough common wealth of all the
people than anything else that all the
people could do. Once arouse the
Missouri spirit by that two days of
special work and the work thus be-
gun will 90 on.
There are something more than
107, 600 miles of public roads in Mis-
souri,. 1t is to be hoped and believed
that not mile of these roads will be
neglected under Governor Majors
appeal. Kansas City Times.

and necktie, with the dried blood
drops on them, were laid on the
table. The knife that went
through Walter Masterson's
heart was laid beside them.
And Ed Barrett sat looking on
indifferently, his whole attitude
that of when he first was arrested
for the murder and turned to the
police and said:
81 should worry and grow
bald"
What was passing through the
gunman's mind? What were his
thoughts? Were they anything
like this:
Twice I have killed men since
a deputy policeman's star was
fastened on my breast last year.
And twice l have been held to the
grand jury for murder. And al
ways the high influence of the
great newspapers of Chicago has
been thrown around me and has
set me free.
When the newspapers were in
trouble I helped them. When
men were hard to get I helped
them. A strike was on, and hell
was breaking on every side. Twas

Short and stocky of build,

His head is broad at the base. His
under lip and his eyes are the two
features of his face that hold the
attention. The under lip doesn't
get anywhere; it puzzles; so do
the eyes.
They are peculiar eyes, those of
Barrett. They are small, with
shadows in them, and the lids
drawn down over them as though
to say: you don't know me, and
you don't know my game; I do
things suddenly; I do the bold
and surprising thing; I have
