No blame can be attached to any
Democratic state official at Jefferson
City for the threatened shortage of
revenue for school purposes on ac-
count of the possible Withholding of
$4OO, 900 or $500, 900 of Extraordinary"
funds usually expended for that
purpose. State Auditor Gordon acted
wholly within the law in the matter,
and in obedience to instructions from
the office of the attorney general,
whose opinions in all such questions
he is in duty bound to respect. If the
Supreme Court overrules Attorney
General Barker, nobody in Missouri
will be any gladder than John P.
Gordon. 1t is Gordon's habit to hew
to the line. He always does it. Since
his term of Office as state auditor be-
gan he has saved the taxpayers OF
Missouri thousands and thousands of
dollars of public waste. No public
official in the history of the state ever
stood firmer or more unhinchingly
against the habitual and time-worn
petty graft methods of the scores Of
little political vultures who are always
found tagging after every administra'
ton. This is said in justice to Auditor
Gordon and in view of the dirty
criticisms and insinuations directed a.
him by lying and partisan press

for this prosperity is not true. There
are world conditions beyond the Great
ing or control of any party, and, be-
yond the laudsble determination to
hold sloof from the contention of the
warning nations of the old world,
Democrats claim no credit in the
premises. 1t is your thick-and- thin
Republican-of the Journals EDITORS
brsnd-who affects to believe that the
e. o. p. controls the winds, the tide,
the very sun and rain in their life
giving power. AS to when the pre-
vailing prosperity shall cease, is not
the Journals representation born of
desire? A word or two right here.
On every hand are the evidences of
increasing prosperity. The great
papers, through the Associated Press,
daily report the growing, healthful
condition of business in every line;
the employment of thousands of
laborers on full time-surely a state
of affairs that ought to be gladly well
coined and encouraged by all men,
irrespective of party affiliation But
how is it with some little "faithful'
2x4s? Do they refer to the rising tide
of prosperity with pleasure? Not OF
your life! They indulge in false an6
sneering filings like that the Journa
gleefully copies from the Perryville
Republican. 1t looks as though they
take their readers to be ignoramuses
or so stepped in partisanship that they
are unable to see the truth, though i
stalk the public highway. There'
nothing commendable in such jour-
nalism.

BRO. PIGG of the Enterprise seems
very much "worked up'' over the fact
that Republican postmaster at Edge
Hill has been displaced for a Demo-
crat. Will Bro. Pigg print a list of the
Democrats holding post offices in Iron
county when the Democrats assumed
charge something over two years ago?
And will he be satisfied if the Demo-
Gratis promise to keep just as many
Republicans in the post offices as they
found Democrats in when Taft retir-
ed? These are honest questions and
we would like unequivocal answers.

In letter to the Republic, j. @.
Waite-"just plain American"-hits
the bulls-eye, according to my notion
except as to Belgium. This neutrality
is of the right brand, contrasting
strongly with so.called Neutrality
Leagues productions. Here is what
Mr.. Waite writes: "It is amusing
rBther than interesting to read some
of the pro- German, pro-ally letters.
Socrates would be a piker compared
with some of the learned gentry who
sign themselves KY, etc. Why
should we worry our heads over Ger
many, England, France or even Bel
GUM in regard to the war? Be neutral
and keep still tongue. These ar
guments about exporting ammunition
are folly. If you don't agree with the
President and his foreign policy and
think Germany is right, why then the
sooner you strike out for the Father
lands shores the better and the coun
try will be better off. If you think
England is right, well, pack up your
clothes and beat 1t over to England

Even woman who has but little time to devote to it may have a good complexion and not get sallow and Wrinkled, says an exchange The exercises described below. ar ranged originally for the business woman, are equally good for the tired housemother.
 Here is what you need Plenty of soft water; one pound of finely ground oatmeal from the grocer; a bottle of almond oil or a jar of good cold cream; a packet of good pow der; cup of boiling milk every night.
 The first item is very important Hard water ruins the skin. No it isn't difficult to get soft water First by boiling the hard water Second, by keeping an old pitcher outdoors to catch the rain water This is best, and we all have a back yard or window sill of some sort or size. The water will get full of smut, of course, but never mind that.

Feminism Is the Honey Bee

or jam pots in the pantry anything just so it is sweet They are demoralized, they get honey drunk: they lose their mental balance apparently. In spirit of rebellion they leave the hive. Swarming. some call it, but when one recalls that bees never swarm in the strict sense unless they are led by their queen, this departure of the work CTS from the hive comes to possess a new significance.
 So it is that Mr Merwin in the
 Honey Bee draws his analogy be
 tween the bees and contemporary
 society We human beings have
 our two distinctive groups of fe-
 males-the queens of leisure, who
 do not feel the exacting responsibil- ity and necessity to ply for them selves in the great work a-day world surrounded by the males, who COP tribute to their welfare and their needs and ask nothing in return, living a life of happy Responsibility and enjoying the fulfillment of their desires. On the other hand. there are the workers who bear the bur dens. who contribute the material
 things, who understand responsihil-
 ity and are entrusted with il. So
 Ciety regards them as stable com
 modtes. yet within them, as with
 the worker bees, there is that de sire to revolt. to get away from Il all But these human worker bee interpret it as the feeling that they need rest, tho deep down in their
 hearts there is a yearning for some thing more-a desire to fulfill the
 ancient purpose of their being. Once free of the gruelling grind. the tread mill routine of the office, the shop
 or the department, they, too, go crazy; they, too, become honey drunk, Turbulent. torn by conflict ing emotions. they. too, sometimes cross another's threshold to gain
 that which they crave.-EX.

Shiny leather in patent and kid are in demand. The short tongue col onial shoe is being very much worn. For evening a plain pump called the opera pump is in favor. In the south and west there is a tendency to wear the French toe which is broad and has short vamp.
 Although this is the season for straw hats there is a great tendency for popularizing the fabric hats. White ratine looks well in a sailor bound with pink taffeta and on two sides it is embroidered with pink wool. A band of pink taffeta passes around the crown and ties itself into a flat tailored bow. The use of ratine in millinery is very popular because it is possible for the home milliner to copy the various shapes displayed and thus have hats to match her gowns. Stitched taffeta is also favored for hobby little hats that are intended more for sports wear than anything else. In some instances folds of taffeta go to make a hat and each fold is connect ed with the other by means of French knots, the knots being of con
 trasting color. To preserve it's summery appearance the inside of the brim can be faced with straw Hats of white corduroy are among the smartest models shown.
