Of Governor HadIey. So far they have
not even grunted over the appropria-
tion by the last Legislature Of $500
''ior the current expenses Of the ex-
ecutive mansion, including salary, keep
and maintenance Of the employees,
fuel, repair Of furniture, care Of walls,
care and replenishing Of linen, cur
tains, china, siyerware and other ex.
penses." OF course the keep and
maintenance" Of the employees means
their board, and it will be found that
as many or more servants are employed
about the mansion by Governor Major
as were employed by Governor Hadley,
his republican predecessor.
Perhaps when Senator Stone reads
these figures he will come all the way
from Washington to Jefferson City TO
protest against such ruthless expend-
iture Of public money. Auditor Cor
don, to be consistent, will have to
mention the matter in any comparison
ne may institute for campaign pur-
poses between the administration OF the
late republican governor and that Of
the present democratic governor, who
began his administration with a loud
declaration in favor Of democratic
simplicity" in public expenditures as
we'll as in all public matters. Before
the end Of the present democratic
regime comes at the close Of 1915 the
people will have learned that demo
cratic simplicity applied to public ex-
penditures means an empty treasury.

CerehrO Spinal Meningitis.

Cerebro-spinal- is a dis
ease caused by a germ which grows
most abundantly on the membrane
which covers the brain and spinal cord.
The inflammation Of this membrane

meningitis. The disease occurs in epi-
demic form over considerable areas.
During these epidemics the number Of
cases varies greatly, sometimes there
are only few, at other times a very
great numder. The disease is highly
fatal and, even when recovery occurs,
a severe complication leaving various
types Of incapacity may develop.

The SaCTedlesS of Marriage.

At the General Assembly OF the
Northern Presbyterian Church at Allan
ia resolution was passed declaring
marriage TO be sacred institution and
calling for more strict and uniform mar
riage and divorce laws. Every express
sion Of this kind is helpful, yet it
seems that the marriage question might
be made more matter OF church dis
cipline than it is. Some denomi-
nations have no disciplinary machinery,
large latitude being allowed to individ-
ual ministers and churches. But there
are ministerial associations and various
organizations which might so strongly
set their seal Of condemnation on the
performance OF the marriage ceremony
by minister, save under proper con-
ditions Of caution, that il would amount
in force almost to authority.
Those who have made a study Of the
divorce evil have learned that much Of
ii is founded on the marriage evil. Too
easy marriage leads to divorce. Elope.
ments, dares, JOY ride engagements,
divorce marriages, too youthful mar
riages, are all traught with the potency
OF divorce. 1t would seem that the
best way for the church to emphasize
the sacredness Of marriage would be
for its ministers 10 refuse to perform
the ceremony in all such cases. Al
safe rule would be for a minister to
refuse to perform the ceremony unless
he personally knew at least one Of the
parties and was entirely satisfied all the
conditions were proper and calculated
to make the marriage a good one.
Strict rules in this respect, recon-
mendations and resolutions in such de-
nominations as have no supervisoral
and discipline in other-as
there already is in would do
much TO impress the public with the
sacrcdness Of the marriage ceremony
when performed by a minister, and re
lieve the clergy of much OF the re-
sponsibility they now bear for the light
regard the public now have as to its
sacredness.
OF course, stricter marriage laws
are needed. The clergy cannot bring
about the reform alone, so long as
the land throngs with justices of the
peace, mayors and judges who see
nothing in the marriage beyond a
legal form authorized by a license. |
Regulations requiring publicity and
the lapse of time between the appli !
cation for a license and its issuance
are the first and most obvious legal
steps, but there are others Of restrict
i've natnre which are likely gradually to
be adopted. While this would not ai-
feet the sacredness OF the ceremony it |
would prevent many hasty marriages. |
The sacredness Of the marriage cere
mony must be preserved and protected |
by the church itself, not by law.

The insurance muddle was not
slaughtered out as announced. There
are some kinks in the matter that pre-
vent a quick solution. Missouri, how

officials have made bad mess Of it bu,

ance men Of the state will find way 10

Lebanon, Mo.-One Of the severest
hail storms in the history Of the city
struck here late this afternoon, doing
damage TO the fruit to the extent Of
thousands Of dollars. 1t is estimated
that more than 100000 bushels Of
peaches were knocked from the trees
by the hail stones, some ofwhich were
as large as hens eggs. Smaller stock
was injured and considerable damage
was done 10 the fat roofs Of the houses
and the window panes. A number Of
persons were hurt by the falling stones
but no serious injuries we're sustained
by anyone so far as could be learned
tonight.

Bosses and Their Day.

In his latest political speech Mr.,
Byran says the day Of the boss is
gone" and that abe people hereafter,
in addition to selecting their own rep
resentatives by direct primaries, will
write their own platforms. Holding
this view on bosses Mr.. Byran should
be careful, as the most Influential ad-
wiser in the present administration, to
discourage anything in the nature OF
bosssm among the leaders OF the party
now in executive and Legislative control.
ChairmanUnderwood recently stated in
the House that the Democratic major
ity OF the Ways and Means Committee
had not intended to put sugar and
wool on the free list, but yielded to
the wishes Of the president. When
the last Congress was in session Mr..
Byran made an obstinate stand for
free wool and on this point had dis
agreement with Mr.. Underwood that
has not yet been cleared up as per
s0nal matter, for the remarks on each
side were sharply critical. Free wool
is in the House tariff bill bill because
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
bossed it in The schedule originated
with them, not with the House. So
the president haa taken a hand in
shaping the bill, holding also the pow
er to veto it at the end.
In the New Jersey Legislature jury
bill has just failed, though President
Wilson went to the state TO influence
action upon the measure. He is holding
in reserve the patronage Of a new ad-
minlstratlon and change OF parties, the
position that bosses like the best and
usually work to the limit. President
Wilson and his premier may not pro-
pose to be bosses, but actions are more
to the point than words, and events will
speak for themselves. The president
threatens business men who feel com.
PEELED 10 close establishments with
government investigation to decide if
they are acting in good faith. Could
a government examiner take the books
and find out more about them then
the unfortunate business man knows
HIMSELF Would The investigator be un-
biased, holding his appointment from
officials suspecting, if not hoping, to
find plot among business men to 20
into bankruptcy The plan smacks OF
the boss Of an aggravated pattern.

st, Louis Home Rule Bills.

The home rule bills enacted by the
general assembly are not just what the
people Of St. Louis desired but they
we're the best home rule measures
democratic law makers were willing to
enact In fact they would not have
been enacted but for the fact that the
democratic leaders firmly believed St.
Louis would elect democratic mayor
who would have the appointment OF
two excise commissioners and control
the saloons, and who would have abso-
Lutte control Of the police department.
OF course they expected to use excise
commissioners and the police for par
tisan political purposes. That is the
democratic way Of doing things in St.
Louis.
Overwhelmed by defeat in St, Louis
April lst, and seeing that the power
intended for a democratic mayor was
to be placed in the hands OF a stalwart
republican, these democratic leaders
began to cast about for some way of
escape. As the democratic governor
has the appointment Of an excise COM
missioner and police board for the
city under the existing law, and as the
new home rule bills cannot become
effective till June %, the democratic
leaders have slylV worked up a move
ment TO refer them to a vote Of the
people in November, 1914, under the
referendum law. They have stood in
the back ground and have encouraged
a few ministers and church people in
St. Louis to promote a referendum
movement, appealing to the moral
sentiment Of the people Of the state
on the plea that the home rule bills
will put the saloons and the police
under the domination oI the brewing
and liquor interests. Just why this
result is more to be feared under the
rule Of a republicn mayor than under a
democratec mayor they do not attempt
10 explain but the people know that
the saloons were we'll regulated and
police department absolutely divorced
from politics under the rule Of a repub-
lican governor and mayor. The move
ment 10 submit the home rule bills to
popular vote under the referendum is
simply democratic trick, by which
good people in the city have been de-
ceived and by which the democratic
leaders hope to deceive the good peo-
pie Of the entire state, meanwhile
holding control of the saloons and ihe
police department till aiter..the election
next year. If they can use the saloons
and the police in preparing for and
conducting that election they will have
accomplished their real object. The
people Of Missouri should not permit
! this scheme 10 be worked out.

Saturdays Storm.


Saturday was day Of storms in the
Ozarks. Seldom has heavier rainfall
been seen here than began about $50
p. m. and continued for an hour. Some
hail fell here but not heavy enough tC
do any damage. A good many peache!
were shaken off by the wind but there
are plenty left. Roads were washed
considerably in places, as were gardens
and fields, But the following report:
show that a good deal Of damage wa:
done in places.
Republic, Mo. - The windows oI
practically every house in Republic
were shattered, small animals and fowls
were killed, many persons narrowly es-
capped death in runaways, while other
people were seriously injured when the
most severe hail storm in the memory
Of the Oldest residents OF the county
swept this section this afternoon. Many
Of the hail stones were as large as
goose eggs and the ice covered the
ground several inches deep.
The fruit crop was damaged to the
extent Of at least thirty per cent, ac-
cording to Dr.. S. E. Beal, the most
prominent fruit grower here. Peaches
suffered more than the other fruits and
hundreds Of bushels Of young peaches
strew the ground in the orchards here.
The strawberries and apples were also
injured so that little over half crop is
expected.
The storm struck the town shortly
after 8 o'clock and was preceded by a
heavy wind. Hail fell for twenty-five
minutes, after which came a heavy
downfall Of rain, which assisted in dis
solving the large hailstones. A north
westerly wind drove the hail with much
force and nearly all windows on the
north and west sides Of buildings were
shattered.
Many Of the stones weighed from
six TO ten ounces, and were from three
to eight inches in circumference.
Most OF them were oblong and were
perfectly formed.
Buildings with fiat roofs were injured
severely, and in some cases entirely
new roofs will have to be laid.
A number Of runaways were started
when the storm broke. Many OF the
farmers who had been in town during
the day had just started home, and
their horses became unmanageable.
So far as is known, no one was danger
ously hurt in the runaways, although
Republic physicians were called to the
homes Of farmers to dress minor in
juries sustained.
Poultry, especially the small chick
ems, met death in large numbers in
Republic and vicinity. A number Of
dogs were killed by the large stones.
Several persons who could not find shell
ter in time to avoid the falling masses
OF ice were injured about the head and
a number are reported to have been
rendered insensible.

variable periods after convalesence the
germs are thrown out of the system in
the sputum, and in the sputum they
may come in contact with other peo'
pie, thus spreading the disease.
The symptoms Of epidemic cerebro-
spinal meningitis are due to two factors.
First, the poison or toxin given off by
the germs: second, the pressure exert,
ed on the brain and the cord by the
accumulation Of the fluid about the
brain and cord incidental to the infam-
nation process OF meningitis. The
diagnosis Of cerebro spinal meningitis
in the begenning Of epidemc is very
difficult matter and may require bac'
THEOLOGICAL examination OF the fluid
about the cord. This fluid is obtained
by passing needle into the spinal ca
nal and drawing of little Of the fluid
for examination. The germs are found
in this fluid.
An antitoxin has been developed for
the treatment Of cerebro spinal menin-
gifts. To insure the best results from
the use OF this antitoxin it must be
used early in the course Of the disease
and injected into the spinal canal. II
used later in the course of the disease
and injected under the skin as are
other antitoxins, practically no curative
results are obtained.
The prevention OF cerebro-spinal'
meningitis depends upon isolation Of
the cases and the continuation Of this
quarantine as long as the convalescent
shows the presence Of the germs in the
sputum. The disease is spread by the
sputum; consequently in all cases, the
sputum should be prevented from COM
ing in contact with anything to be sub
sequently used either by the GONZALES
cent or by others. Such protection Of
the sputum may be quite easily accom-
plished by the use Of tissue paper nap.
kinS which are held in front of the
mouth during the act Of coughing to
catch the fine particles Of sputum.
When tht coughing has subsidized, the
napkin may be folded and the indiyid-
ual may expectotate the mass Of sput-
um into the center of the napkin.
The napkin should then be rolled, the
ends twisted so that it can not come
unrolled, and deposited in a recptacle
kept for this purpose. Atinteryals the
rolls should be burned. This is per-
haps cheaper and more sanitary than
any type Of cuspidor.
Anyone coming in contact with a
patient or convalsecent is liable to con
tract the disease or to take the germs
into his system and become infected
without an attack OF the disease. Al
person having such an infection is a
germ carrier Of this disease and is OF
as much danger to the community as
The one who has had the disease; in
TACT he is OF more danger because his
may not be suspected and he
does not protect the community as
does the patient or convalescena; con
Sequently during quarantine one should
not receive visitors.

The Republican party is strong, ag-
gressive and cohesive political organi
zation. Whatever defections occur are
in due time overcome, and the party
goes right on, mastering every problem
that presents itself. It is right now
gaining new strength day by day and
thousands who refused to support its
nominees in 1912 are in line for cam
paign Of 1914. There's no use sailing
the political seas in a irail boat when
the grand old ship is big enough to
carry all the passengers who get aboard
and safe enough to keep afloat and
make good landing.
