Not Regular Tramp.

The ex-postmaster of a Central Missouri town was chatting with a democratic leader in the town re- gently when a member of Ameri- cas- leisure class, who had just ar rived on a freight train, approach ed and requested donation. When the tramp had passed on the ex- postmaster said:
 There's your democratic ad- ministration for you. I've seen more tramps this spring than for years"
 They aren't regular tramps, though" replied the democrat. 'They are republican ex-officehold- CTS who have been at the public trough so long they have forgot how to work"

Note the Last Two Sentences.
(Collier's)

This clipping from the Boston Herald was sent us by Laurence G. Brooks of 53 State street:
 After waiting three days for favorable winds, the four-masted schooner Orleans, Captian Rut- ledge, sailed to the relief of the na- tives of the west coast of Africa with 100000 gallons of rum in her hold. The vessel has been loading for two weeks with hogheads, casks and kegs, and when she set sail every available space below matches was occupied. There was scarcely room for casks of water for the crew. It was thought they would have to live on rum. When this was noised about there was a great scramble for berths. A con- plement of men was signed up, but all were made to sign the pledge before the boat left. The under writers demanded it.'
 The Boston reader who sent us this clipping asked us to write an editorial about it. To us it sug- gests more things than can be said in three hundred words.

Lot Johnson Improving

Lot Johnson, the Smithville planter and merchant who is at the sanitarium recovering from gunshot wounds inflicted upon him nearly three weeks ago, continues to improve and told a reporter for The Press this morning he expect ed to be out of bed within three or four weeks. Johnson has pro- fessed religion since he occupied a ward in the local sanitarium and says he is going to lead a Christian life when he returns home. He regards his recovery as almost miraculous, and attributes it to the skill of the surgeons and the constant care and attention the nurses have given him.

DECLARES ALLIES WILL WIN IF THEY
 SUCCEED IN TAKING DARDANELLES

St. Louis, July 6.-U. N. Shiro- koff, Bulgarian army officer, jour nalist and tourist, of Sofia, Bull garia, who is touring the world, ar rived in St. Louis Sunday. He says he believes if the allies can get through the Dardanelles they will win. The journalist is accompan- jed by his wife. He delivered an address last night at sos South Second street.
 If the allies fail in their at tempt to open the Dardanelles, they are lost," said Shirokoff. "The Dardanelels have been rightfully called the key to the situation. The allies, if victorious, will be able to supply Russia with ammunition and Russia in exchange will fur nish England and France with

foodstuffs.
 There is no such thing as crushing Germany When the war ends, and even though Germany, Austria and Turkey are defeated, Germany will still be intact. Aus tria and Turkey will be the suffer- CTS and will pay dearest"
 Shirokoff says the end of the war depends entirely on the Dardan- elles. He says his country could take Constantinople If it entered the war, but so far has not been offered the right kind of induce ments by the allies. Shirokoff fought in the recent Balkan war. The editor and his wife are guests of Nasil Stephanoff, editor of a Bulgarian newspaper at Granite City.

Good Advice to Farmers.

In the current issue of Farm anC Preside, the national farm paper published at Springfield, Ohio, a contributor writes an interesting , and practically helpful article full of sound advice to farmers on the subject of the purchase of farm ma- chinery. He takes up the guaran- tees which many manufacturers give with their goods Some say that such guarantees are of no val ue and others say that they really protect the purchaser. The fol- lowing general comment on the subject of guarantees is taken from the article:
 Its a good plan in reading a guarantee to see whether it fully covers all points in which you want protection. Some. guarantees |sound convincing but really prom ise very little.
 If you want free trial or ship ment on approval, you can some- times get such a privilege by ask ing for it. But it is unwise to as sume any more than is actually specified.
 Modern business is built up largely on guarantees. People don't trade with folks they can't trust. That business is getting freer from traps and hooks is due largely to guarantees, some of which assure you of satisfaction or your money back. Others promise long-continued service and free re- pairs, while still others give free trial till you make up your mind whether you want to buy. The idea is to help you get your full moneys worth, and to make you feel safe in buying an article on which you are not fully posted but which you want if it suits you"

THOMAS E. WATSON
 ON THE WINE CUP
The Sword Is Mighty, But Might fer Is Its Brother-the
 Wine Cup.
(By Thos. E. Watson)

It is a warrior whom no victory can satisfy, no ruin satiate. 1t pauses at no Rubicon to consider, pitches no tents at nightfall, goes 1 into no quarters for winter. It con quers amid the burning plains of | the south where the phalanx of f Alexander halted in mutiny. It conquers amid the snowdrifts of the north where the grand army of Napoleon found it's winding sheet. It's monuments are in every burial ground It's badges of triumph are the weeds which mourners wear. Its song of victory is the wall that was heard in Ramah: Rachel cry ing for her children, and weeping because they are not"
 It never buries the hatchet; it's temple of Janus never closes its doors. No dove of peace ever car ries it's message; in it's hand is nev- CT the olive branch. It sends no flag of truce, and receives none, it's wounded are left where they fall and it's dead bury their dead. Every citadel that it storms, it devastates, and in every charge which 1t makes its cry is, 'No Quarter. v
 Those who fall before it's onset die deaths of shame, and go down to dishonored graves to which love can bring no willing tribute of flowers, and over which pride can rear no enduring monument. To ,, it's prisoners it grants no ex- change, holds them out no ransom, but clutches them fast in a captiv- ity that is worse than death, and which ends only at the grave.
 The sword is mighty, and it's bloody traces reach across time, from Nineveh to Gravolette, from Marathon to Gettysburg. Yet mightier is its brother, the wine cup. I say brother" and history says brother" Castor and Pol lup never fought together in more fraternal harmony. David and Jon athan never joined in more gener- ous rivalry. Hand in hand, they have come down the centuries, and upon every scene of carnage, like vulture and shadow, they have met and lasted.
 Yea, a pair of giants, but the greater is the wine cup. The sword has scabbard, and is sheathed ; has a conscience, and becomes glut- l ted with havoc; has pity, and gives quarter to the vanquished. The wine cup has no scabbard and no conscience, it's appetite is cancer which grows as you feed it; to pity, it is deaf, to suffering, it is blind.
 The sword is the Lieutenant of Death, but the wine cup is the Captain; and if every they come home to him from their wars bring ing their trophies, boasting of their achievements, l can imagine that Death, their master, will meet them with garlands and song, as the maidens of Judea met Saul and Da- vid. But as he numbers the vic tins of each his paean will be: "The sword is my Saul, who has slain his thousands; but the wine cup is my David who has slain his tens of thousands.

NAVAL BASE FOR GERMAN SUBMARINES MAY BE ESTABLISHED OFF CANADIAN
 COAST, IS BELIEF OF BRITISH PRESS

staff have under consideration as the much needed bases two groups of islands-one in the northern and one in the southern route, chiefly followed by the vessels leav- ing Canadian ports. To the north of New Foundland is Belle Isle, a small island in Conception bay, and situated at the mouth of the strait. Belle Isle is six miles long, three miles wide, extremely rocky and has cliffs, some of which are 400 feet high. It belongs to Cana da and is sparsely inhabited. It is directly in the path of shipping over the northern route, which, however, is open for vessels only during the summer months. In the winter the ice renders navigation practically impossible.
 The other and more important base, said to have been determined upon, is the group of St. Pierre and MiQuelon, 15 miles off the coast of New Foundland, near the entrance to Fortune bay. These islands lie in the southern steamship lane from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Flu rope.
 They would make no effort to seize and hold any territory for a base, it is said, but would merely agree upon certain points at which provisions and fuel could be left, to be called for by submarines.
 These places, it was said, would be changed constantly to elude the vigilance of destroyers which un- doubtedly would be sent to the vii cinity when the arrival of the sub marines should become known. The Photographic conditions of the islands mentioned are quite favor able for the establishment of secret supply stores among the rocky crevices, it was said.
 Simon Lake, submarine inventor, said he could see no obstacle to prevent the Germans from carry ing out the plans outlined.
 "The new German submarines, he said, "are capable of cruising at least 5000 miles at speed of nine knots. If the commander chose to reduce his speed the general sav- ing of fuel and lubricants would enable him to cover much greater distance, although, of course, 1t would take longer.
 Craft of the new German type are splendidly adapted for cruis- ing, and the trip across the ocean would be easy in my opinion. They could negotiate rocky shores with ordinary caution, and go where they could not be followed by oth- CT vessels.
 "Yes, it would be quite possible for the German boats to carry suf- ficient fuel and provisions to get to any American port, stop there while and return to their base, without calling on anybody for aid. While I am not familiar with the coast at the points mentioned, the scheme certainly appears to have a great deal of merit"
