THE NEW BOOKS
The Wonderful Woman.

The wonderful story of Joan OF
Arc" and the meaning Of her life for
Americans, is attractively told in a
new volume by C. NJ. Stevens. Joan
of Arc lived a most amazing life.
Womanhood is revealed in her with
all the courage ever known in man.
hood. Her frail life presents power
superior to any priests, warriors, or
kings. She changed the civilization of
Western Europe. France owes its ex-
istence to her. But more than that,
she withstood the most powerful mill
tary and ecclesiastical despotism ever
known, and suffered the most desper-
ate martyrdom in the history OF
Christianity.
American readers are becoming in
terested in this Wonderful Woman.
They want to understand her unsur-
passed career and to appreciate her
unconquerable soul. The time has
come for Americans to share in the
great human interest of her, and to
realize the inspiring ideal of her
womanhood and humanity. This book
shows how she is one Of the immortal
few whose life surpasses biography,
whose career is more than history and
whose character is a sublime type of

both as a military necessity Of the

the monopoly that has been enjoyed
by the railways during the past quar-

the control of the railroads by the
government at the present time and
of the railroad problems that must
arise at the conclusion of the war. He
has pointed out that after the war
the masses must be protected against
the classes.
His uprightness In Office ranks Mr..
Folk as one or Missouri's foremost

guarantee that his Americanism is and
always has been above suspicion. His
insight into the future and his presen-
tation of the problems that must re-
ceive consideration after the close of
the war mark him as a statesman of

He has been tried. He is competent.
His Americanism is above reproach.

THE OLD TRAILS ROAD
By Emily HOuseman watson In the St
Louis Republic.


From my window I can see it as it
winds leisurely over hills and through
level stretches, now making a sharp
bend and now reaching forward in a
long, direct line, as If in eagerness to
get somewhere.
And it does. The old road, which
for so many years was Old Trail,
stagecoach line and Boone's Lick road,
has leaped into increased acquaintance
and fame by being made State high
way. It is the cross-country route,
over which hundreds of automobiles
daily bear travellers from one part of
our broad land to the other.
1t has bee nimproved and beautified
till it is an attractive thoroughfare.
The Daughters of the American Rev.
olution have placed markers at inter-
walls along much of its route Not far
from my home the marker is an old

relic of one of the numerous water
mills of former days.
wonder what would have been the
thoughts of Lewis and Clark, as they
traversed this trail so many years ago,
IL they could have looked forward to
the present advanced civilization of
the Middle West In their fondest
dreams they would scarce have pic
tured the growing cities, with their
busy traffic, or the broad acres of
grain and pastures, where vast herds
Of cattle feed. Nor could Daniel Boone
in his most sanguine moments dream
Of the wonderful prosperity that was
to transform the wilderness into a re-
gion of untold fruitfulness.
The stage coach and the prairie
schooner have had their day, and are
forgotten, while all horse vehicles are
being rapidly replaced by the rushing
motor car. Where great herds of deer
roamed at will and unafraid are pros
porous farm homes, surrounded by
comforts and even luxuries.
And these changes, with all their
beneficent results, bring some sad re-
Elections. In those old days. when our
grandfathers established their homes |
in the wilderness and contended with
wild Indians for their possession, |
there was robustness Of frame and
sterling integrity of heart that are
fast vanishing. The old landmarks
are being obliterated, and with them
much of the charm of pioneer days.
But to return to the Old Trails road
Though it is a busy highway, there
are, in its passage, some spots of rest
full quiet The traffic of industry and
of social life have not taken away the
peaceful charm that attaches to an old
country church that lies almost within
a stones throw Of my window.
1t is a time-honored church, of Pres
byterian faith. where years ago throngs
came to worship from Sabbath to Sab
bath. II has shared the fate of so
many country churches, and now a
mere remnant remain, a sad reminder
of former days. In the little cemetery
the church lies buried its
pastor of years ago. His entire minis
try, a period of more than 40 years.

FOLK OR WHITLEY?
WHY NOMINATE whitley

Xenophon P. Whitley, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for the
United States Senate, is a man of
strong convictions and with no apollo
gies for those convictions. He is a
true supporter of the prosecution Of
the war as the aid he has given Presi-
dent Wilson, at the most critical times,
shows. Backing him up at the out
break Of the European War, when the
American people were counseled for
the strictest neutrality, and support
ing him when he demanded that the
belligerents respec. the rights of
American citizens, Senator Wiley
has a record of standing firmly for the
right.
The opponents who accuse this man
of being un-American are narrowed
in their viewpoints; their horizon has
shriveled to small proportions,-fOr
is it not possible for the public mind
to change?
Does it brand man as un-American
to wish for peace with honor? WGsn't
the proudest boast OF the last cam
paign for the Presidency, "he kept us
out of war;? 1t is not fiction that the
majority of voters at that time had
the same desire.
With the change of feeling and the
tide of sentiment that swept over the
United States at the declaration of
the war, Senator Wilfley turned all of
his energy in supporting the Pre-;
dent and is defending American rights. |
His is a purely American, non-politi- |
cal platform,-he is with the Presi- |
dent, the United States and the boys |
in the trenches. A.

To Save a Busy Man Time.

He who makes two blades of grass
grow where one grew before has ever
been held to be a benefactor of the
human race. Surely the editor of "114

factor to business men everywhere.
The worth Of the plans have been
tested and proved. The volume
gathered from the pages of System"
is worth any business mans careful

WHY NOMINATE FOLK

Politics is adjourned" but a primary
election is scheduled for August 9Th
and men are to be nominated as can
didates for positions of high RESPONSE
bility.
This is a war time election and out
of the struggle to win the war come
two propositions to which every Demo-
cratic candidate who hopes to win
must subscribe. The national admin
istratiOn must be endorsed. The can
didate must stand for 100 per cent
Americanism Mr.. Folk has indorsed
both in such terms as to leave no
doubt as tc his position.
The United States entered the war
because the principles of Democracy
were in jeopardy, because the rights
of the people were being trampled
under foot. Our popular slogan is
Make the world safe for Democracy"
Americanism, to be worth the price
we are paying for it today, must be
broad enough to make Democracy
safe for the world. This is the great
problem before our statesmen. This
question must be settled in favor of
the people if the war is to be worth
the winning.
AS a champion of the rights Of the
common people Missouri has not pro-
duced the equal of Joseph W. Folk.
AS circuit attorney of the City of st.
Louis Mr. Folk was brought to the at
tention of the public because of the
courage, vigor and success with which
he led the prosecution of one of the
most notorious gangs of city grafters
and political corruptionists that has
been brought to justice since the civil
war. Opposed for the gubernatorial
nomination by the regular organiza-
tion of his own party he kept his cam
paign so clean and presented his
philosophy of civic Righteousness so
forcefully that he won the nomination
by safe margin and swept on to vic
tory in November when all the other
members of his state ticket were de-
feated. As governor he was instru-
mental in getting an anti-lobby law
through the legislature, and enforced
the liquor and gambling laws with
the long-life enmity of the classes.
such vigor as to secure for himself
Though prospective candidate for |
the United States senatorship he made |
no attempt to build a Folk-for-sena-
tor machine. As a successful seeker |
after public responsibility he has
never been disloyal to the welfare of |
the people. When he was defeated |
for the nomination for United States
senator he manifested the same faith
in the principles of Democracy that
he has ever shown. He accepted the
will Of the majority and entered the
campaign to help elect the man who
had defeated him in the primary.
In his opening speech of the pres
ent campaign Mr.. Folk makes it clear
that he sees the great work Of recon-
struction that must take place after
the war. Already he is advocating the
