THE Globe Democrat: "The Texas
law against shipping liquor into "dry''
counties has been held invalid. But
an Oklahoma law which forbids carry
ing liquor across the street is valid,
Legal distinctions are too fine for the
laity to detect them with the naked
eye."

THE Missouri Legislature will soon
be in session, and it romises to be a
busy one. A number of legal reforms
have been proposed which will re-
quire close and careful consideration.
The slender majority of the Demo-
Gratis in the Lower House ought to,
and no doubt will, impel their prompt
and full attendance. 1 take it, there
will not be much ill-considered or
radical legislation.

In the House at Washington, Tues
day, the proposition to submit a Pro-
hibition amendment to the Constitu-
ton was defeated, by a vote of 1877 for
to 1s9 against. A two-thirds vote in
such case is required.

If our Mexican brethren don't stop
shooting across the border and killing
American citizens, there's going to be
something ADDING which will hurt
the feelings of the transgressors. Ae-
cording to what | read, our President
thinks the limit has just about been
reached. Carelessness with firearms
cannot be countenanced by a peace
loving, law-abiding people, with the
bullets coming their way.

THE City of st. Louis in 1904 as
sessed a tax of one mill upon every
fve-cent fare sold by the United

refused to pay the tax and carried

declared the law valid. Whether the
Company will appeal the U. $.

two million dollars is the sum in

THANK goodness there was enough
Democratic loyalty in the House to
defeat the nationwide prohibition
amendment. The word "loyalty" is
here used advisedly, for it is an open
secret that three out of every four
Democrats who voted for submission
are at heart opposed to Federal if
not to State Prohibition. They simply
didn't have the courage of their con
victions. This is lamentably true Of
the Missouri delegation. Representa-
tives Igoe, Gill and Booher, however.
voted like Democrats.

FROM the Hillsboro Democrat: ~.
H. Reppy through his attorneys, Al
bert Miller and r. A. Frazier, filed a
suit against the Editor of this paper
last week and the notice was served
on us Friday. VS. can see no reason for
bringing this suit other than malicious
spite as there is absolutely not a word
OF truth in the statements made in the
petition about the damages claimed
to have been sustained by him. The
claims are preposterous and include
loss Of business as an attorney, (for a
period Of IS days) which we defy him
to proove, amounted to anything at
all. AlIthe other claims are Of like
nature and cnmulatively they are but
a mess Of words used recklessly.D

Overlooked the fact" that free soup
houses T again necessary to feed
the hungry nor to deplore the condi-
lions leading to their establishment.
l find some consolation in the further
fact that the free soup-house is not so
extensive and general as in times
gone by when the 3. o. p. ruled the
roast and John Smith issued his paper
in lieu of the real stuff. In these
particulars the present stringeney is
quite unlike the dark days OF 1907.
DIR. GREGG, Presbyterian preacher,
of st. Louis, backs up the old, cow
ardly plea of Adam that "the woman
did it." Hear him:
The Lord made man a little lower
than the angels. Satan came to our
mother in the garden, and proposed
the sin by which he was changed from
an angel to the devil. She accepted
Satan's proposal, and she thereby cast
herself and her children into the realm
of Satan, beneath his feet, his victims
of sin and death, of chaos and dark
ness.
1t is to to me singular that the wo-
men stand for that SORT of talk. Take
them out of the church and what
would be left of it? l opine DIR. Gregg
and his co-shepherds would often GO

THE turning down by the Senate of
the Presidents appointee for the
Kansas City postmastership doesn't
look well to me. | hear of no charges
against the fitness or integrity of Mr..
Collins, but it seems he was non
gratia to Senator Reed-or rather,
the Senator favored another appli-
cant. am not of those who have
criticized unfavorably Senator Reed
for following the bent of his judg-
ment upon measures before the
Senate, but have given him credit for
honesty of purpose as well as courage
in unfolding his convictions. He
differed, in some instances, from a
majority of his Democratic colleagues
as well as the President, but that was
not only his right but his duty as he
saw the matter. Neither do l fault
him for opposing the confirmation of
an appointee ~ungrateful to him; but
that the grave and reverend seign-
iors of the entire Senate should join
him seems childish and silly. We
laugh at the contemplate parliament
airy squabbles of the latter part of the
seventeenth century; but is the
twentieth century pot justified in
calling attention to the ebon hue of
the kettle of three hundred years
gone?

The North Parish bear has again
been heard from although none of the
hunters of that section have yet sue
ceeded in getting in touch with him.
The latest one to report his bearship's
presence is Robert Worthley, the
youngest son of s. B. Worthley, and
although the young man did not see
the bear he is confident that he was
within hailing distance of him one day
last week. Young Worthley was out
after cartridges and had with him his
dog which he takes along on such oc-
casions The dog will chase rabbits
and tree partridges and have a lot of
fun in doing it, and even tackle hedge
hogs but on the day in question he ran
on to something that affected him very
differently. Young Worthley was out
on the ridge where the bear had been
seen and the dog made a dash into a
swamp. He had been out of sight but
few moments however when he gave
peculiar bark and came rushing
back to his master, the hair on his
back bristling with fright, and show
ed in many ways that he wanted to
go home. Young Worthley had moth
ing but bird shot cartridges with him
and feeling that there was something
in the swamp which under the Cir
cumstances he had better let alone he
left that locality and sought the
homeward trail, ,4..-

The most beautiful girdles

unostentatious luxury of

They glow with color and
CLEAN with gold or silver,
they shade from tone to
tone; they are sharply col
or-barred in Roman plaids
or Roman stripes. They are
exquisitely moired, wonder
fully brocaded, splendidly
printed. This is surely a
season of ribbon. Just now
our department is complete.
