CRIMINAL NEGLECT OF BEES

To a lover of bees nothing is more
pathetic than to see row of boxes,
barrels, or gums overgrown with
weeds, and without particle of shell
ter from the winter winds and sum-
mer sun, and to realize that each
serves as an abode for struggling
colony Of bees. Under these condi-
lions, surplus honey cannot be stored
and it would be far better and more
humane to tear up such outfits and
drive the bees to the woods where
they could find more favorable abodes
in hollow trees.
Bees are perfectly satisfied to &c
their way and care for themselves
in trees, but if man attempts to do
mesticate them he at least owes then
comfortable hive with shelter from
the excessive heat and cold. Give the
bees a chance and they will not only
prove self-supporting but will also
furnish surplus honey. We heal
much about the enemies of bees but
the neglect Of man is by far the great
est foe the honey bee has to contend
with,

Department. Other educational ex-
hibits included collections of insects
and display of prize ribbons won by
the college fiocks and herds, contest
in naming woods furnished by the
Forestry Department and a large
screen enclosure in which bee-keep-
ing students showed their ability to
do all the work of handling the &C
tual swarm of buzzing bees without
coming in conflict with the business
end of one of the insects.
One Of the largest and best exhibits
took the form of state flower show
in which entries were made by for
lists from st. Joseph, Kansas City and
st. Louis, and other parts Of the state.
This exhibit of cut flowers, plants,
and educational booths containing an
exhibit of methods of growing flow
ers and vegetables occupied 80 by
120 foot tent.
Among the numerous side shows,
first prize was awarded to the Grab
eteria, "take-off" on a cafeteria at
which many University students eat;
and second prize was captured by the
Home Economics booth in which the
principal portion of the stage repre-
scented human stomach and the play
ers showed what happened to the va
rious foods in the stomach.

POLITICAL FACTS
From Missouri Democratic
Headquarters

Democratic voters would be disap-
pointed if the Globe-Demoerat and
Pee Dee were approving Democratic
State officials. Knowing the principles
controlling these newspapers and the
selfish interests they serve, both in
politics and business, Democrats know
beyond the peradventure Of a doubt,
that Democratic officials not receiv-
ing excavations from these organs
would not be carrying out Democratic
principles in the conduct Of State af-
fairs. There is nothing the GID. and
the Pee Dee love to hate quite so much
as a Democratic Democrat, one that
can neither be gulled nor influenced
by the classes served by the plutocrat-
ic press. Furthermore the people UNI
derstand and know that it is the prac-
tice of these newspapers to misrep-
resent and misconstrue every act OF
Democratic officials and to falsify the
record of Democratic administra-
ton. That portion of the Democratic
press giving credence to the misrep-
reservations contained in these sub
servient instruments of the special
privilege interests, is not serving the
Democratic party, but is trying to
serve individual interests and fac
tional elements, and indirectly aid
ing the Republican bosses of the State

Some Facts from the Record

A few facts from the record is
worth more than tons of hot air, cam
paign stuff. Here are few facts
The present administration has paid
$476,000 in bills coming over from the
Hadley administration. Last year it
paid $288, 900 Confederate pensions, a
new obligation. For this biennial pc
riod it will pay to aid teachers train
ing schools 100000 and rural high
schools 100000, new obligations.
These alone aggregate $480,000 new
obligations to be paid out of the gen
eral revenue fund by this administra-
ton for this biennial period, obliga-
tons no former administration had
to take care of. During this biennial
period the State will spend $35000
for road dragging. Practically all OF
it will go to farmers. This is also "a
new item, no former administration
having given anything for this pur.
pose. TIE farmers were expected tt
do all road dragging without compen
sation. The Globe-Democrat and tbs
PEI Dee don't appreciate these things
but the people do. They'll show it il

ticket by rousing majority.

Gags Defamers Of States Credit


The fact brought out in Governor
Majors recent statement that there
was almost one million dollars in the
interest fund in the State Treasury
and several hundred thousand dollars
surplus in a number of special funds
which cannot be used, and if these
were made available the State would
have an abundance in the general rev.
enue, almost choked the Globe-Demo-
crat. 1t has grown black in the face
trying to explain away this showing
of full treasury, able to provide for
every necessity of the State by SIM
pie transfer of money from the surplus
in special funds to the general reve-
nue., the only fund needing enlarge
ment. The Governors declaration
that he intends calling the attention
of the next Legislature to these SIM
pie remedies, which, if carried out.
will meet the demands and needs of
the State, incensed the Globe-Demo-
crat and its allies in the propaganda
intended to make the people believe
the State finances are in a hopeless
tangle. In few words the Govern
or showed the utter falsity of all the
statements of the propagandists rel
alive to State finances and the impos-
sibility of their dire prophesies con-
corning the same coming to pass. Be-
fore this campaign is half over the
Globe-Democrat Pee Dee and Their
coadjutors will be the most discred-
tied bunch of campaign liars eve,
discovered in the history of politica
agitation.

Frohman and "Peter Pam

John D. Williams in the Century.
'Frohman weighed play by the
idea in it, and he never produced a
play, however arbitrary in story or
Pan'-without being able to name
specifically the elements of success he
thought it possessed.
Barrie has gone out of his mind,
Frohman. l am sorry to say it; but
you ought to know it, we are both so
fond of him. said Sir Herbert Tree to
Frohman one night. He's just read me
play. He is going to read II to you;
so / am warning you. l know I've not
gone WOODY in my r. md, because l have
tested myself since hearing the play;
but Barrie must be mad. He has writ
ten four acts all about fairies, children
and Indians, running through the most
incoherent story you ever listened, to,
and what do you suppose-the last act
is to be set on top Of trees!"
But the following day Frohman
heard Peter Pam and accepted 1t at
once. Long after, he gave these as his
reasons: First, it was written by
Barrie; next, 1t was Enthusiastically q
fine novelty. The most emphatic play
in any theatrical season, the one that
is most likely to focus general public
attention, Is the most novel. You can
estimate it's novelty by the amount Of
fineness a play contains for the COM
mon in life, like the poor, is always
with us and can never seem novel. Only
the fine registers with the emphasis Of
novelty. People go to the theater not
to see life as 1t is, but as they wish It
were. The theater's business is to pre-
sent not life, but the illusion Of life
Youth is the illusion of life, old age

with youth; so ! was for it,"

How Russia Goes to Extremes.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Laura Spencer Portor says that you
find greater extremes Of human ma
ture in Russia than in any other coun-
try.
I'm the national history and in the
national character you shall find
strange and striking extremes: ex-
tremes of crudeness and gentleness, Of
cruelty and pity, Of injustice and
mercy. Here, too, you shall find a peo-
pie at once the most superstitious and
barbaric, and the most intellectual and
enlightened; the most religious, and
the most free thinking; the most splen-
didly wealthy-taking as an example
the fabulous wealth Of the Garland
the most squalid and poor; peasants in
some parts living in tiny huts shared
with them by fowls and pigs and cat
tie. Here, too, you shall find the most
selfish and the most unselfish; the
most tyrannical and autocratic, the
most democratic and self sacrificing;
here, above all, the most enslaved and
the most free.
I'VE speak Of youth as the season Of
extremes. Then the mind goes with
BUSINESS and inconsistency from one
view to it's extreme opposite. AS ex-
treme as YOUTH we say. Remember
ing this, and studying the strange and
pervading extremes of Russia, Russia
seems like very personification Of
youth"

From the Brooklyn Eagle.

the bEOOhlyn
The wife of an army surgeon who on
United States ira sports has been three
times around the world, In showing her
very choice collection of various products
from faraway ports, called special atten-
ton to the baskets from Alden, port lit
tie known outside transports and traders
occasional visits until the big war brought
it into a casual notice; Alden. at the
mouth of the Red sea, she said. Is noted
chiefly for its fortress-like mountains, en-
tirely barren OF any tree, shrub or blade
OF grass, and the great tanks below the
grim, stony mountains are wonders or
engineering.
The masonry Is marvellous and built
across the A-shaped bases, the need OF
these great tanks for a water supply Is
caused by the infrequent rains making
water storage an imperative necessity. In
1904 the last record OF rain was In 1885, so
that one can understand why 1t Is utterly
devoid of natural vegetation, and its near
est approach to a garden Is an oasis Is
miles distant.
There are no wells; the only water sup
ply the great tanks and bottled water,
and rare they can be had only at Alden.
where they are of the greatest use as
water carriers, so made that they hold
water as we'll as glass or metal or wood
receptacles. 1t Is amusing to see the ma
tives fight for possession of tin cans
thrown out by visiting ships. The food
mainly used by natives is dates.
The old tanks, made years before Christ,
have been reinforced by the moderns, and
hold, the 80 or 40 of them, millions of gal
Ions. The old tanks were supposed to
have been made by the Romans. and the
cement lining Is of a compound not known
to moderns. Besides the great tanks there
are many small cisterns owned by middle
men, who sell the storage water in largo
or small quantities for daily consumption.
There are steps leading down to the bot
tom of the tanks, SO that as the water
level lowers 1t can be had as long as the
supply lasts, which is usually until an

tanks at their base. A scant supply an
