ASKS COURT TO DECIDE IN
WHAT STATE HE LIVES

John R. Boas, n years old, has
filed suit in the United States Dis
trict Court in East st. Louis, asking
that the question of whether Bruce
Island, in the Mississippi river, SO
miles south of0St. Louis, is in Illinois
or Missouri.
Boas alleges that he has lived on
the island in comparative solitude for
SO years. He says in his petition that
he has held continuous title to the Isl
land and has payed taxes on it to the
State of Illinois. The county of Ste.
Genevieve, Mo-, claims that the is
land is in Missouri and that taxes
should be paid to it.
Under the Illinois law the man who
owns the land on shore also owns the
bed of the river. The position of the
island in 1880, when Boas settled on
it, is the real question at issue. Ow-
ing to repeated changes in the river
channel this is much in doubt.

A POOR LOSER

The Republican party is poor los
err. Charles Evans Hughes was a
poor campaigner. Wilcox was poor
manager. The American public is
beginning to accumulate feeling of
disgust.
When a man is whipped he should
take his medicine like man, Robert
E. Lee surrendered to General Grant,
but not until he knew that the South
had lost its fight. When he founc
that the future was hopeless he bold
Fly admitted defeat and ended the war,
an act of supreme courage that won
the admiration of the world.
The Republican party was defeat
ed on November Z. The country
knows it, This cry of crookedness has
been heard in so many elections that
it is not worthy to comment upon.
The history of Memphis may be
used as miniature example, but we
have never had municipal election
that some defeated candidate did not
declare, the following morning, that
he had been fraudulently defeated and
that he intended to contest.
Prior to the campaign the Ameri-
can people entertained liberal idea
of Judge Hughes. He was regarded as
man of big and liberal ideas, mar
who was just in all his views and ac-
tions, but his attitude today has
changed this opinion.
He may not be responsible. He may
be only the puppet in the play, but
whoever is operating the game is not
becoming momentous figure in
American political life.
The predominant characteristic OF
the American people is gameness
When we lose we pay our bets. When
we are defeated we admit our defeat
and in the end, after the first soreness
has worn away, we congratulate the
victor.
The majority of Republican leaders
admit the defeat of Hughes. Ever

AND IT'S WILSON
FOUR YEARS MORE

The frost is on the elephant,
The mule is at the corn;
The bull moose has scented danger
And has fled from Teddy's horn;
Sullivan and Taggert and Murphy are
awful sore,
But the people all are happy,
For it's Wilson four years more!
Thank you, Hughes, for that gooC
hammer a '
And it's constant knock, knock, knock
For it made vote for Wilson
With each ticking of the clock;
Each blow the tolling of bell
That rang unto roar;
Rang you and Teddy both to-war,
And it's Wilson four years more.
Trundle out your biggest guns
And ring the bells for joy
And burn red fire by the ton
And hold your banners high;
Well send the echoes to the skies
From oceans shore to shore,
Let praise from every heart arise,
IT'S Wilson four years more.
We've traded Hughes for Brandies,
And laid Hughes on the shelf,
For a man who worships justice
Snapped worshiper of pelf.1
Rejoice, the ebb of graft and cant,
Let shout and cannon roar,
The frost is on the elephant,
'Tis Wilson four years more .e
And were our ears'attunedSto hear
The voices that are gone
Come floating down our atmosphere
To join the rising tone.
We'd hear the shouts of Blaine am
Grant
And Washington outpour; ~
The frost is on the elephant,
IT'S Wilson four years more.
And Jefferson again would join
And Lincoln, Garfield, too;
And Fremont for the Golden State
Would raise glad halloo. m
Rejoice, the ebb Of graft and cant,
Let shout and cannon roar;
The frost is on the elephant,
TITS Wilson four years more.

MONEY? OH, NO!

Speaking of money used in the
recent election, what was it that
caused that big Democratic vote
in st. Francois county when all
its neighboring counties cast a
normal party vote? st. Francois
county voters must have. had

ocratic than is indicated else

dented constructive and progressive

tration which appealed to so many
normally Republican States and in
duced them to switch around. st.
Francois county always has been nor
mally Democratic, but for long
time the mining voters of the county
have been intimidated by ,veiled
threats and rumors that if the DEM
ocratic party succeeded to national
control the mines would have to close
down or wages cut ruinously low.
These yelled threats naturally had the
effect they were intended to have
cut down the Democratic vote among
the more susceptible. This year, how
ever, the Republican managers Of the
big lead companies couldn't work the
ruse and the men voted their own. SEN

The "cornering" Of eggs and hold
ing them off the market in cold stor-
age has started boycott in several Of
the large cities against the use of
eggs until the "corner" is broken. One
man in Chicago has bought up and is
holding 100000 eggs in cold stor-
age while eggs are selling at prices
that would bankrupt an ordinary fam
lily. From the boycott crusade that is
being agitated in other cities it is to
be inferred that similar conditions ex-
list. The high cost o fliving is getting
on the nerves of the people If gene
raj boycott could be instituted and kept
up long enough to bankrupt a few of
these constituencies spectators it
would be a righteous act. Even the
cornering of single article of food

the collapse of that principality APP

tie activity has been manifested the
past few weeks on the western and

fighting has been so intense and spec
