And yet ignorance of the LAWN a

In our day Of statute making by the
rapid-ire process, Thomas Jefferson
would have found greater reason than
ever for declaring that the country is
governed best that is governed least,
and for opposing a multiplicity Of
laws. Not the least discouraging
feature Of it all is that our statesmen
of the ''ultra-progressive" variety
have countless new laws still up their
sleeves, not a few of them revolution
airy invasions of the citizens rights.
II our laws are legion now, what is
to be expected when, in times to
come, women are sent to legislativ We
bodies by their balloting sisters and
enthusiastically apply themselves to
the fascinating business of piling up
the statutes. Their efforts to make
man over and thrust into him a thous.
and virtues by means of the police
mans club, seem to be ominously
foreshadowed by Mrs. Pankhurst's
confession that women want the bal
lot in order to "make men chaste.'
1t may be confidently expected that
. women, more than men, will become
addicted to the habit of making new
laws aimed at every evil or incon-
venience in sight, thus adding enor'
mously to the great mass of statutes
whieh--without previous discussion
and criticism of the proper kind-havt
been enacted in haste, only to be re-
S pealed or forgotten as dead letters.

Preparations are being made this
week for the resumption of operations
at Doe Run shaft No. 9 (the Red
Onion,D located east of Flat River.
Another section of the Doe Run mill
near Elvins is to be started and a part
of the power plant at Rivermines is to
go back into operation. Between 1875
and 150 men will be put back to work.
This information was given to a News
reporter by a company official yester-
day in answer to a telephone inquiry.
The official said Red Onion would be
started either to- morrow or Monday
and that operations would be resum-
ed gradually. The mine will be work
ed two shifts and about 100 men will
be required there. The mill and power
plant work will start accordingly and
will bring the total number of men
put back to work up close to a $50.
Red Onion and the power plant we're
closed last October when a general
curtailment program was adopted by
practically all of the companies. Two
sections of the mill were closed re-

Toast to Laughter.

Here's to laughter, the sunshine of
the soul, the happiness of the heart,
the leaven of youth, the privilege of
purity, the wealth of the poor, the
bead of the cup of pleasure; it dlspels
detection, banishes blues and mangles
melancholy; for it's the foe of woe,
the destroyer of depression, the enemy
of grief; it is what kings envy peas
ants, plutocrats envy the poor, the
guilty envy the innocent; it's the
sheen on the silver of smiles, the rip
pie on the waters delight; the glin I
of the gold of gladness; without il
humor would be dumb, wit would
wither, dimples would disapp ear and
smiles would shrivel, for it's a glow Of
clean conscience, the voice of a pure
soul, the birth cry of mirth, the swan
song of sadness.

THE Hon. Mr.. Painter is Lieutenant
Governor and ex-oficio President of
the Senate. A few days before the
adjournment of the late legislature,
Hon. Cornelius Roach, Secretary of
State, went into the Senate chamber
and seated himself in a vacant chair.
This, according to the rules, was his
privilege. From all that l can learn,
he was a quiet though interested
observer of the proceedings of the
august body which stands as a bull
wark against a lot of damphool legis-
lation. He didn't kick a cuspidor,
beat the DEVILS tattoo upon the desk
before him, or indulge in any other
frivolous or irreverent unseemliness.
Nevertheless Mr.. Painter, when his
eagle eye fell upon the Hon. Cornelius,
ordered him from the chamber! Now,
we all love Mr.. Roach for '~'reasons''
innumerable. and slight OF insult to
him is a slight or insult to legions OF
good Democrats all over imperial
Missouri. Therefore, I am constrain-
ed to say to the Lieutenant Governor
and President of the Senate: "Sir,
you have your political aspirations
and while your uncalled-for expulsion
of our friend from the room ovel
which you preside may not have beer
a crime, it was worse-a b%lunder!"

/ HAVE been taken to task by some
of my friends, who hold it fair to hit
back, because of my silence upon a
very interesting episode: the sudden
subsistence of Southeast Missouri's
leading "dry" evangel, and the causes
leading thereto. l have no desire to
go into that. That my neighbours
weaknesses are not my weaknesses
gives me nc warrant for Haunting his
moral shortcomings in the face of the
public. His is the anne old story, re-
hearsing always and everywhere,
since temptation is eternal and omni-
present-a part of the inscrutable
design of the Almighty, and human
effort to eliminate it has never been
crowned with success. The with
standing-there the virtue lies. The
sober man who is sober because he
cannot obtain the liquid which cheers,
and, upon occasion, inebriates, is en-
titled to no credit for his abstinence;
If a man be shut off from the spiced
meats and dainties Of the table he may
not become a glutton, but does such
condition conduce to his manhood?
There isn't a pleasure in life that
doesn't carry temptation with it, and
too often the best and dearest in
our natures leads to our undoing.
Therefore, / have no harsh denuncia-
ton to heap upon the bowed head Of
him who is said to have 'loved not
wisely, but too WELL" In conclusion
looking to the future safety of the
brother who has sinned-please per-

A Burdened People.

According to a count made in the
library Of congress recently our fed
erai and state legislatures passed &c.
Ola statutes during the five years from
from 1909 to 1918 inclusive. Even
greater than this multiplicity Of laws
was the vast a Of decisions OF
court Of last resort, federal and state,
which during the same Eve years

THE late Legislature, though as
~cetically "dry," was on occasion pro-
fusely liberal in expenditure. Junket-
ing Senatorial committees of divers
designs with generous appropriations
were voted-various sums Of from
$1,000 to $40, 900 being placed at their
disposal. This was no doubt grateful
to the patriotic sense Of the favored
Senators, but the most of the donees
put it by, and the funds set aside for
their junketing use will lie untouched
in the public purse. Which is well.

WHEN / speak of the late Congress
as "so-called democratic" l have in
mind the Jeffersonian brand, which
stands for the rights Of the States

that principle and the party goes
down, and, with it, sooner or later,

THESE "neutrality'' mass meetings
in st. Louis are of singular construc-
ton. The speakers seem to hold that
the only neutrality worth a "tinker's
d-n" is that which is evidenced by
its pro-G ermanness. Not to evince
undying hatred for the Allies is enmity
for the Vaterland, and the unhy-
phenated American must be "eitheI
for us or against u.s." This is the
average view of the question as We
hemently expressed at the aforesaid
