one of the master minds of America,
becomes ObliviOus to the claims of
his wife, Muriel on his affections in
his mad strife for power, This finally
results in Muriels rebellion, and she
accepts an invitation from some
friends to go to Paris. There her
beauty attracts the attention of Trevor
Lerode, an artist, who begs a sitting.
The intimacy of the studio leads to
Lerode's falling in love with Muriel,
much to the dismay of his mother,
Lady Lerode. She wires Glayde to
come on in order to prevent scandal
and he, made suddenly alive to her
peril, drops his work and hastens to
Paris where he tells Lerode that his
calls on Mrs. Glayde must cease. The
affair has gone too far, however, and
Muriel and young Lerode elope that
night.

When the Democratic State
Committee meets in ST Louis the

it's guests the Democratic Press

rural Democratic editors are the
most heroic band of warriors that
ever defended the citadel of Dem.
ocracy or lead charge against
the cohorts of iptrenched greed.
AS brave and true as Leonidas
Spartans, and as dependable and
loyal as the continental troops at
Valley Forge, they return from
every political battle field with
their shield or upon it. There
are those who sneer at the cOun-
try editor and belittle his intlu
ence. In their ignorance, they
do not know that the Democratic
editors of rural Missouri have
fought and won the battles of the
party in every campaign in this
State for u generation. The State
Committee realizes the worth
and appreciates the work nf the
Democratic press, and hence hon
ors itself in honoring the men
behind the Democratic guns" in
Old Missouri. You want to keep
an eye on the Democratic Press
Association this year--it is going
to immortalize itself by carrying
the colors of Woodrow Wilson
and the State Democratic tickle,
to victory in November.
