Mortality in Missouri.

The people of Missouri feel that
this is the best all around state in
the union but it has never claimed
to be a health resort. The state
report for 1914 show that it is one
of the most healthful and sanitary
states in the union. Last year
there were only 1872 deaths for each
1000 inhabitants. The rate is low
er every year and this will continue
for every year people are more par.
ticular about conditions that effect
themselves and their neighbors.
The great difference between
those who succeed and those who
fail does hot consist in the amount
Of work done by each. but in the
amount of intelligent work. Many
of those who fail must ignominious-
ly do enough to achieve grand sue
cess; bnt they labor as hapazard,
building up with one hand, only to
tear down with the other. They do
not grasp circumstances and have
no faculty for turning honest de-
feats into telling victories. With
ability enough and time in abund-
ance-the wrap and wool of sue
cess-they are forever throwing
back and forth an empty shuttle
and the real web of life is never
woven. - Elk.

The Freak Legislator

Every year sees the INTRODUCTION
of freak bills into the legislatures of
one or more states, but the spring
of 1915 seems to have capped the
climax The freak legislators have
run mad. Hardly a state has es-
capped. 1t is the fashion of the
press to poke fun at Kansas, which
may be depended upon to come to
the front with something foolish in
the way of legislation. And al
though the Sunflower state has liv-
ed up to her glowing reputation in
the present session, her companions
in the sorority of states have not
fallen far behind. Most of the new
laws have been introduced for the
purpose Of prohibiting something or
other. Here are a few, culled from
one days exchanges;
To prohibit the catching of frogs.

To prohibit the use of face DOW

piercing Of ears and the wearing of

night shall wear lights. Colorado.
Providing that all weeds aud
plants which cause hay fever shall
be removed from the roadsides.
Bachelors to pay an annual tax of

Last Friday morning Police Lieu

gambling partners. He went to the
electric chair protesting his limo

there are few who will grieye over
the possible mistake Of the juries
and courts that convicted him. This
may seem like a hard hearted state

cause the condemned man was. un-
true to his trust as a public officer.

and shared in the profits Of their
crimes. He was a traitor to society

SELF DEFENSE.

While we are commando dto love
our neighbors as we do ourselves,
that command does not abolish or
even restrict the law of self defense.
Self defense is not alone a right,
but It seems to us much like a Di-
vine command.
The Great Creator gave tusks to
the elephants, horns to the cattle.
claws to the lions and some means Of
self defense to every form Of ANNA
ted nature. He certainly intended
that these means Of defense should
be used by their .possessors whenev.
Eer necessary for their protection.
To mankind He gave an intelligence
far more potential than all else in
His creations. An intelligence which
enables the human race to maintain
dominion over the fish Of the sea,
and over the fowl of~the air. and
over eve-y living thing that moveth
upon the earth" There can be no
higher duty than the use of this hui
man intelligence for the protection
of ones home and country. Nor can
there be a greater offense than the
use OF this intelligence to .trespass
upon the rights of others. In view
of world conditions the people of
this country are not using their in
telligence to properly prepare for
self defense. AS a nation we are
like unto an unlocked treasure house.
To wanlltonly expose this country to
attack, by failing to prepare for its
defense, would be a disregard of OBJ
legations both human and divine.
