The Truth About the Carey Act and Some Carey Actors

against others who are not re
| sponsible, is in fact started BY
some who have so much to cover
up and explain-and explanations
IN the coming campaign would be
suicidal, at least, to Mr.. Brady. 1t
is regrettable that he or his friends
should see fit to attack the men
who are NOT responsible, and in
effect Witty the state, when the one
who had the power at the most
critical point in all the history Of
the state did nothing to make con-
ditions better, but carelessly or ig-
norantly or wrongfully gave his
aid to every mistake or wrong that
came to the administration of
good law
Mr.. Brady was governor for the
years 1909 and 1910. The people
were so angered over his admins
tration, that in a state that was
normally republican by at least TO-
900, they elected a democrat as
governor when he came up for a
second term, in 1910. 1t was not
a chance, a mere happening it was
the deliberate judgment of the
whole people, based mostly on his
administration of the Carey Act
business. For him, or any sup
porter of his, to now attempt to
discredit either the law or any other
administration, is a wrong to the
state.
The Recorder invites the fullest
scrutiny of any investor, from a
legal, or social, or financial stand
point, of the live Carey Act prof.
ects like the Idaho Irrigation Com
pany, or the other good ones that
can be found in Idaho. The whole
state must suffer for the poIitica.

Senators Save House Atire.

tFrom The 81. Louis Republic, November 1917
The Missouri State Committee
which is inspecting sites offerd for the
proposed State park for the p~reserva-
ton, propagation and protection of
game and fish distinguished itself
yesterday afternoon by reso living it

and assisting in the rescue of a woman
and - children from a burning build
ing in Southeast Missouri.
The committee, consisting of State
Senator @. M. Buford of Ellington,
chairman; Charles Carter of Luray,
Joseph Brogan, @. O. A. Brunk and
Mike Kinney of st. Louis, was driving
along Hunts Farm pike near Glover,
Mo-, when Senator Kinney discovered
flames issuing from the roof of a frame
house at the side of the road, 200
yards away. He gave the alarm to
his companions and a dash was made
for the house.
1t was the residence of Luther Scog-
gin, who was at work in the fields.
In the house, unaware Of the fire,
we're Mrs. Seoggin and her IL chill
dren. Senators Carter and Buford
scrambled up the scuttle hole to the
roof and tore away burning rafters,
while Senator Kinney and Brogan
took charge of the frightened inmates
and herded them to safety outdoors.
Meantime Senator Brunk commander
ed two big milk pals, and, with the
assistance of A. H. Norton, a news
papers man, formed a bucket brigade,
carrying water from a creek near by
with which to extinguished the
flames.
Owing to the prompt action of the
senatorial party and the fact that the
fire had gained so little Roadway when
it was discovered, the blaze was K
tinguished with small damage None
OF the occupants of the house suffer
ed injury. The fire was caused by a de-
fective fne when Mrs. Scoggin start
ed a fire in the stove.
The committee arrived in ST. Louis
at 7 O'Clock last night, after inspect
ton OF sites in the southern part of
the State. The first place visited was
near Arcadia, where a site, compris-
ing about 1000 acres, is offered on
easy terms. The committee next vis-
tied Reynolds county, on Black River,
where options on a site Of 40, 900 acres
were submitted. Both these sites r
said to be ideals.

Cora Middleton sohn.

- ..
The subject of this obituary was the
wife of Fred Sohn and the only daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. J.. O. Middleton,
in Bellevlew, Mo.
A young husband, fond parents,
little daughter, and many friends have
been bereaved of a loved one-the
wife Of four short years, and the
mother of fourteen months. Our
weak judgment would say her de-
parture was most untimely. Shall the
helpless infant be denied the tender
care of a mothers love? Shall life's
bright prospects fade thus in man
hoods early dawn, just when home is
beginning to send it's sweetest delights
into the rejoicing heart?
Cora was the idol of her parents,
and SO she was a light to their going,
a gem in their coronal, a star of hope
which attracted them onward and
upward. Now all this is changed. The
idol is overturned. The golden bowl
is broken. The light has gone out
from the household, and all around
and within is, seemingly, dark, dreary,
forlorn and hopeless. Seemingly only.
Living, Cora was an ever present
comfort and joy. Dead, her personal
absence may be, must be, for the
time, the saddest of sad sorrows.
But the fragrance Of her sweet mem
DRY will, always and evermore, fill
the space she once occupied SO loving
ly and loved. The recollection of a
great joy, continually re urning, is a
great comfort, and cannot die.
Cora Sohn, the subject of this
memento, was at her death a member
Of the Methodist church in Belleview,
Mo.
Cora was born in Belleview, Mo-,
April 26, 1893, and died after a pro-
tracted illness at the home of her par
ents, Septemb er 1S, 1914. On Sunday
following the funeral services were |

SUNDAYS st. Louis Republic: "The
Senate committee appointed to in
spect the sites offered for the pro-
posed State park have had a busy
week. 1t is the consensus of opinion
among the committee that the Mis-
souri, should have a State park and
it should be purchased with some
of the revenue derived from licenses
paid by the sportsman. This can be
accomplished in a manner that will
relieve the taxpayers, the same as the
game laws provide for the warden
system. There has been a growing
sentiment all over the State that we
should have a State park. This de-
partment has received many letters
from all over the State with laudatory
comment in regard to the plan to tax
the anglers 81 a year to help pay the
expense of protecting the game and
fish, part of the fund to 60 to the pur-
chase Of a State park. A campaign
for such a bill has been launched and
the Senate committee who will re.
port their findings to the Legislature
will be asked to support this bill."N

DIR. WRIGHT, of New York, the
eminent s%ociologist, has created a
sensation by showing the increasing
quantities of opium that are being
consumed in the United States. He
declares that the annual requirement
for legitimate medical and other pur-
poses is $4,000 pounds but that last
year more than 100000 pounds were
brought into this country. ''The use
of cocaine, opium and other drugs is,
l regret to say, largely on the increase
in the United States" said DIR. Wright;
especially is this true of localities
where the sale of liquor has been pro-
hibited."

AM re-reading English history,
but it wouldn't be judicious to set
down some of the impressions it gives
me. If we are "made in the image of
GOD" little loom is left for His Satan
ic Majesty to exploit his own pro-
totype. 1t is hard to conceive the
changes he could ring on the existent
breed. Just take a look at the whole
sale murder and outrage now en-
crossing the attention of the world
and employing the utmost endeavors
of our European brothers, if you are
pulled up with the notion that we are
so far removed from the savagery of
Eye olden time.u

The proposed prohibition law for
North Carolina is of the right type
from the prohibitory standpoint. Not
only is the manufacture and sale of
v%inous, malt and alcoholic liquors to
be prohibited, but the finding of a
bottle of beer or wine, or a pint of
whiskey, on the premises of a citizen
shall subject him to statutory pains
and penalties. Why not extend the
Inhibition to the raiser Of rye, barley
and corn, to the owner of the vine
yard? Aye even to the grower of
the big red apple? Applejack proper

and therefore doubly evil. Too, the

JULES VERNE ABOUT HIMSELF

he believed In the realization Of his
imaginings. his friends did not at first
believe that he would be successful as
an author.
One day, according to M. D~uquesnel,
when Verne was in the company of a
number OF his friends, he exclaimed
with great seriousness:

He refined his horse away as he
spoke and, with a jerk of the head to

fallen gun-belt and then, seeming to
think better of his desire to speak. he
made a single vindictive gesture and
set spurs to his champing horse.
It was mrely a fling Of the hand, as
spontaneous as a sigh or a frown. but
in it Hooker read the last evaporation
of the Spaniard and his declaration Of

teeth in reply and Missed out a blight

That evening, as the darkness came

A smile of satisfaction passed over
the swarthy face of the Indian at this.
and then the lines became grim again.
His eyes glowed with the light of some
great purpose, and for the first time
since he had been with Bud he drew
aside the veil from his past.

Hooker had come to like the Yaqui,
