Washington, D. c., Sept. 3d.
The formation of special squad
ron of cavalry to serve as an es-
cort for the President of the
United States and to be designat-
ed as ''The President s Own,' is
being strongly urged in Washing
ton.
Brig. Gen. William E. Harvey,
who is in command Of the Nation
al Guard of the District of Column
bia, has taken up the matter with
officials of the War Department.
The object of the movement is to
furnish the President with a suit
able escort for state occasions, to
give young men physical training
and to enlarge the cavalry arm
of the District of Columbia Ma
tional Guard.
The plans call for a squadron
of four troops.

REPUBLICAN CONVENIENTLY
$l76l. 70 PER HOUR.

For the benefit of those who
may have forgotten the ruthless,
unheard Of extravaganza of the
Hadley administration in Mis-
souri, it may be we'll to call at
tention to the present situation in
st. Louis, where the municipal
government is costing the tax
payers to the tune of of $ $17661 70 per
hour, according to@the official
statement of Comptroller Player.

lied by the widest extravaganza

HOWARD A. GASS

Howard A. Glass;, teacher, edit
or, and State Superintendent of
Schools has left monument to
himself in the school laws of Mis-
souri,.
His life was devoted to the
struggle for better educational OPP
portunities for the boys and girls
of this Commonwealth, and a de-
gree of success which seldom at
tends the labors of refOrmers was
given to him and those with
whom he was associated. His SER
vice in the educational depart
ment of the State began in 1887
the whole Of the time since then
he spent either in that depart
ment or in the editors chair of
the Missouri School Journal.
When his period of service be-
gan Missouri S provision for pub
lie education was of the most
meagre character; a company of
devoted men labored against odds
to make our university great
center of learning, while our rur-
al schools were a disgrace to the
Commonwealth. Today ours is
counted among the great univer-
sites of the nation; our normal
schools do work which was not
offered in the university of so
years ago, and our laws encourage
the consolidation of rural schools
and the establishment Of rural
high schools, while special appro-
priations from State revenues for
needy rural schools and for the
training of teachers and the teach
ing of agriculture strengthen our
educational lines at their weakest

GARDNER PLATFORM AS
EPITOMIZED BY HIM IN
OPENING CAMPAIGN

I believe present conditions can
be better preserved under a Dem
ocratic than under a Republican
administration. I believe the
Democratic party can stand fear
lessly before the people on the ad-
ministration of Woodrow Wilson
and the legislation which he has
brought about. I believe that we
can with absolute assurance ask
your suffrage upon the policy
which we propose TO provide for
the State of Missouri-a rural
credits system, good roads and
honest administration of eleemos-
ynary institutions, adequate sup
port of the educational institu-
lions and a faithful energetic and
businesslike supervision of the
general affairs of the government
OF the state.-F. D. Gardner.

the use of these new engines of

England should confine her

Prominent Republican Men and
Women Flock to the Wilson
Standard.

When President Wilson was re-
nominated it was expected that
his Observation-Disclosures and courage
would attract the independent
minds of the country. Besides
the large number Of progressives
and Independent leaders who are
already in the Wilson ranks, in
the last two weeks the following
significant things have come to
pass:
Thomas A. Edison, the great in
ventor, come out in an interview
approving Wilson 8 courage, wis
dom and course of action and an
nounces his support Of him.
Roger Babson, Boston g famous
statistician and financial expert, a
lifelong Republican, comes over
to Wilson. He is won to Wilson
by Wilson's high conceptions and
course in dealing with great ma
tional and international problems.
Luther Burbank, the worlds
most distinguished scientist in
plant life and development, pub
licly announces adherence to Will
son as "The greatest President
America has ever had"
Miss Ida M. Tarbell, one Of the
foremost leaders Of thought in
America, whose history of the
Standard Oil Company was moth
ing less than an epochal in it's ef-
feet, announces her active sup
port of Wilson. She said: "He
is the first real progressive leader
this decade has produced.''
Miss Ella Flagg Young, Super
of Chicago's schools for
years, announces her support Of
Wilson and is actively at work
for his reel lection.
Mrs. Antoinette Funk of Hi
nois, one of the most distinguished
suffra gettes in the nation. and a
leading Progressive, announces
that she will support Wilson,

sourians have attended the 81
Democratic rallies held in tents
during the last two weeks under
the auspices Of the Democratic
State Committee. At many of the
meetings the crowds were so
large that many persons were un-
able to hear the orators.
Not since the campaign of 1896
have such crowds attended polit-
ical gatherings in Missouri. Sat-

Republican railroad men occupied
the platform on the Wilson-to-

weeks.

1t is true he scarcely hoped to realize
them, but he believed in aiming high.
And he did aim high. The greatest
pitcher in the world might be proud
to claim any one of the trophies which
Leonard set himself to attain. Now at
the age of "a he has gained them all.
His three ambitions are realized, and
what he will set himself TO win hence
forth, we can't even guess.
What were these three ambitions?
First, to win a worlds series game.
Last fall Grover Alexander entered the
series as the greatest pitcher Of TIE
year. He humbled the Red SoX in
their first encounter, He met them
again in the third game. a contest
whose importance it would be hard to
overestimate. And Leonard had his
wish. He won worlds series game.

ter pitcher of the year and by az brill
liant a piece OF twirling skill us has
ever been witnessed. Three hits the
Phillies scored. one Of them should
have been classed as an error by
Speaker, and uncertain support married
the first three innings, but as Leonard
fairly gripped the game the Phillies
had never chance. The last eighteen
men retired in order without the
semblance of n hit, and finally the

thai mark save johnson only, and he
did not equal it
The third ambition of Dutch" Leon
ard was to pitch a no-hit game; and
smarting by the rough treatment Of
the day before he gained that third and
last of his ambitions on August 80.
What manner Of pitcher Is this who
can break into league of stars and
annex three such records at the age
of "a? Walter Johnson has toiled for
years to pitch a no-hit gamo and so
has Alexander, but though thcy came
close to the mark they never could
quite reach 1t. And to go through n
season Of allowing an average Of al
most exactly one run per game Is
really almost too good a pitching feat
to be true.
Leonard is a dark complexlonod
stockily built athlete, some Ave feet
eleven inches in height and weighing
$50 pounds. He looks more like foot
ball player than baseball pitcher.
and he is indeed an all-round athlete.
Twcnty-four is young even in baseball.
He should have at least ten years
ahead and what may not pitcher
accomplish in ten years who has al
ready done so much at twenty-four?

DUTCH LEONARD'S
THREE AMBITIONS

mighty Alexander bowed quite as
much to superior pitching as 10 su-
perior offensive attack and yielded the
palm Of victory TO his invincible OBJ
ponent Leonard had his wish. a
worlds series victory, by as mastery
a performance as the game has seen.
Another of Lnonards three secret
ambitions was To prove the most CT
fective pitcher Of a season. And lie
did. Incidentally though, he estab-
lished record which should stand for
years and may never DO lowered. In
1914 he allowed but twenty-five earned
runs in thirty-tive games pitched. Some
OF these games. OF course. were not for
a fun nine innings. but his grand aver
age for the season was L0I earned
runs per game.
This is the most nearly perfect aver
age on record. The nearest it has. ever
been paralleled was by Walter John
son in 1914 with a grand average cR

The Remarkable Achievement
of a TWenty-four Year
Old Star.

No other pitcher in the game is more
absolutely unhittable than Dutch"
Leonard of the Red sox, when he is
feeling right lie may not be tho most
dependable, but he is certainly the
most brilliant performer Of the re-
nownod Red sox pitching star.
On the twunty-ninth Of August.
Leonard was bitted out OF the box by
the ST. Louis Browns. On the thir-
ueth he shut them out without a hit,
The player often forgets the vlcissi-
tudes of today in the expected
triumphs Of tomorrow, hut II there is a
swifter, more decisive transition from
failure TO success than to be driven
from the box one day and to pitch a
no-hit game the next, we have never
heard Of It.
When Dutch" Leonard entered the
major leagues he had three ambitions.
