 It is now probable that the msSt, ing of the committee will not be nelo before January. The state ticket VII. i close on March 1, under the rules ol !the committee.

 1 As the days draw on apace, th2 probability of Governor Hays enter ing the contest becomes more anc more remote. Not even his closest friends and advisers appear to know what his intentions may be. Aid the beet that newspaper representatives can get from him is that vixen he gets ready to make his anncuncement-h will make his announcement. :;

that our language offers no obstacles
equal to those which have to be sur

WE'LL GO THEM ONE BETTER.

The Republic in a recent issue had
AN editorial on -Four Laws for Farm
ers" in which it took sides strongly
in favor of these laws because of the
benefit which the farmers of the state
would derive from them.
The laws referred to are the pure
feed law, the pure-seed law, the pure
horse" law. and an anti-sheep-killing-
dog law.
The pure-feed law has requirements
corresponding to the pure food law in
regard to the labelling of stock foods.
That is, that they contain so much
protein and so much carbohydrate,
etc. This will protect the farmer
against impure food for his stock.
The pure-seed law requires that
seeds must not contain any mixture
of noxious weeds. This will protect
the farmer against poor crops af-
fected by weed seed.
The pure-horse law requires that
breeders tell the exact truth in re-
gard to the pedigree of their stock.
The Missourian stands with the Re-
public in offering its services to help
get the passage of these bills. But the
Missourian goes one step farther in
endorsing the bills in the legislature
that will protect the farmer. The
Missourian endorses the bill which
will end fake advertising, for that will
be a benefit, not only to the farmer
but to everyone in the state.
This is an act relating to false, mis-
leading and deceptive advertisements
and provides a penalty of fine of not
less than S25 nor more than $500, or
Imprisonment in the county Jail not
less than 10 days or more than 80, or
both fine and Imprisonment The bill
protects the publisher by a provision
that a proprietor or publisher who
publishes, disseminates or circulates
any such advertisement without
knowledge of the unlawful nature of
1t shall not be held to be guilty.
In its campaign for the farmers, the
Republic might add this bill to its
list.

struction on Painting.
The extension department of the
University maintains an art exhibit
as part Of its equipment which is
sent to the high schools of the larger
towns. This exhibit is loaned by the
art department of the University. This
year it has gone to several of the
larger town high schools and will go
to eight or ten more during the re-
mainder of the year.
Last year the high schools express
ed desire for such an art exhibit
This year, the art department has ar
ranged a similar exhibit, the only ex-
pense for the schools being the cost
of transportation.
The exhibit illustrates the best
methods of conducting art courses,
taking up drawing, painting and de-
sign work. People of the town who
are interested in art and pupils of the
high schools and grade schools can
see the collection.

The Literary Trawler
Books of Three Kinds.

You ought to have three kinds of
books. There is a verse in one of the
Psalms: Lover and friend hast thou
put far from me, and mine acquain-
tance into the darkness Lover,
friend, acquaintance. Your individ-
uality is the centre, round it and near
it is the little circle of love-those
who are your nearest and dearest.
Round that is larger concentric cir
Gle of friends. and then round that is
very large circle of acquaintances.
All the people you know are lovers,
friends, and acquaintances. | say the
same thing about books. Certain
books you love, and they are the
special books, the books you want to
read every year, the books you would
not be without, the books which you
bind in morocco, the books you would
keep at all costs. Find the books that
you love, and then find your friends
among books. By friends / mean ex-
cellent books, though not the books
that appeal most Immediately and
sharply. 1 love lBdswell's Life of
Johnson; Lockhart's Life of Scott is
my friend That is not to disparage
Lockhart's Life of Scott 1t is simply
to say that the one book has certain
greater qualities than the other-it is
the difference between lover and
friend.
Among the lovers you should have
at least one poet l am told that po-
etry is coming to something very good
in these days, and am glad to hear
it. But 1t is a comfort that much
good poetry has been written already,
quite enough to go on with. Find the
poet that you love. You can only
hope to love few, but you may have
many friends.
Your mental life will be determined
by your lovers and your friends; but,
if you have lovers and friends, there
is no reason why you should not have
great number of acquaintances. A
public man said recently that he had
four thousand acquaintances, and one
may certainly know four thousand
books. In the world of books it is es-
sential to have acquaintances, if it
were only for this that the acquaint-
anceships help us to appreciate our
lovers and our friends. Life, howev-
er, is very poor thing for those who
have no lovers and no friends, but
only acquaintances. And so the mind
is desert mind that has only ac-
quaintances among books. But when
the higher society is made sure it will
be very easy and very pleasant to en-
large the circle of our acquaintances
even to the end-W. Robertson Nicoll

poses of the legislators and is use
less.
How many of the speeches sent you
by your senator's and representatives
have you read? When you get one
in your mail what do you do with it:
So do other people. We send men to
congress to make good laws, not to
buy next terms votes with franked
speeches. 1t is poor way in which
to buy votes at that, and more Sc
when the speeches have never been
delivered, but have been printed and
sent to the home folks to make them
think they have been delivered.
Franking ought to be done away
with. Maybe it will be some day.
